G SCHOOL T

Last Friday evening Bottineau
played Towner in a double header at
the Forestry. AS our girls have had
but little practice this year the visit
ing team won with a score of IL to
20, but the boys saved the day and
left Towner looking much like a
camouf1age of sausage. The score
stood a to SO in favor of Bottineau.
Next Thursday evening the Crescent
Literary Society will present it's first
progam of this year at the Central
School. A good entertainment is
looked forward to and everyone is
cordially invited to attend. The fol
lowing program will be presented:
Trio-Annie Hunter, Ruth Darling
and Gertrude Murdoch. Poem-Earl
Greiner. History of High School
Adele Condie. Piano Solo,. Fair
weather. Reading-Gladys Tramb-
ley. Oracle-Myrtle WIKI. Original
Drama-Scene in Bottineau High
School. Quartette-Four Boys.
Friday evening Of this week the
high school boys will play the For
estry at the Forestry gym. The has
ket ball games have been well attend
ed in the past and we hope that the
patrons will continue giving US their
support.

A double header between the Bot

was played in the Forestry gym the
following night. Games won by the
Towner girls and Bottineau boys.
Sandwiches and coffee was served in
the Domestic Science rooms to all
three teams after the games on Fri
day night.
This week the class in Auto Care
and Repair is studying electricity,
batteries and various types of self
starting systems. A hot air furnace
has just been installed in the shop.
The Emerson-B Birmingham ImpIe-
ment Co., has shipped the school a
traitor, to be loaned until June and
then replaced by a later model, which
they expect to have ready at that
time. The Great Northern Railway
has given us free transportation on
this machine. The tractor will be used
for demonstration purposes as well as
work upon the farm, as soon as the
spring work opens.
The class in landscaping has COM
pleted the steam box in which to
steam the wood that is used in the
construction of trellises. Trellises Of
several different patterns are being
constructed.
At a meeting Of the State Board
Of Education held at Fargo on Jan.

l, On page 6 reads as follows: Fourth
grade. certificates shall be granted
without examination to applicants
who are persons Of good moral char
acter, possessing an aptness to teach
and govern, are at least eighteen
years Of age, and are graduates of
public high school located in the
United States, provided the high
school course covered four years Of
work above the eighth grade and re-
quired for completion at least fifteen
units of work "a unit is a course tax
en- five times a week for thirty-six
weeks in a year) and included one
half year in pedagogy. If the work
in pedagogy has not been completed,
a term credit, that is twelve weeks Of
work or double work for six weeks in
this subject will be accepted, provid-
ed the same is taken in a state insti-
tuition Of higher learning or in a state
department of education summer
school. This certificate is valid for
two years.
This action makes it possible for
graduates from the State School Of
Agriculture and Forestry to secure
teaching certificates and is an inn
provement that has long been needed
for the school. Several students will
be eligible for certificates in Botti-
nea county the close Of this school
year. Many students will find it to
their advantage hereafter to attend
the Forestry and secure their teach
ing certificates, rather than to 60 to
much greater expense and secure
teaching qualifications further away.
If arrangements are made for a dor
notary for the opening of the next
school year this course will undoubt-
edly be very popular.

STATESMEN SEEING LIGHT

Within the last three months three
prominent public men have conscious
ly or unconsciously expressed views
which lead logically to endorsement
of the Single Tax program. There
is Senator Wadsworth, Of New York.
who insists that the income tax
should discriminate between earned
and unearned incomes and that as
drawn it inficts a serious injury upon
business and permits those who do not
work to escape lightly. Senator Wads-
worth may not be aware that the
Single Tax is the only system to
which his comment does not apply.
But he will become aware of it if he
keeps on considering the matter.
Next is Governor Whitman of New
York, who, in addressing the Amer
lean Federation of Labor Convention
at Buffalo said: \
"The modern statesman holds it his
duty to abolish what formerly was
held to be acknowledgements
and the conditions that breed power
ty."
Governor Whitman deserves credit
for catching sight of the vision OF
Henry George. The anti-poverty
movement, he declares in effect, is NO
longer to be left to a few enthusiasts
The modern statesman holds it. his
duty to join with them. That is a
fine expression. What specific course
is Governor Whitman going to rec
ommend to the Legislature to carry
out this important duty OF modern
statesmen? If he wants suggestions
he can find nothing better than thu
measure proposed in progress ane
Poverty"
And now comes Senator Warner
G. Harding of Ohio. In a public
statement he points to the vast
amount Of unused privately owned
lfarm land in the United States. He
| estimates it at 500,000,OOO acres, il
addition to land inadequately used
He wants this land opened to use il
a way that will not compel workers
to pay speculative prices. He wants
| this done for the benefit of soldiers
returning from the war, and also fol
other citizens who may want to take
advantage Of such opportunities. Sen
ator Harding should confer with Con
gresham Crosser, Of his state. j
NAV surprise him to learn that they
have a common object, and it shoult
be possible for the Senator to SCI
how a revenue bill introduced by MI
Crosser would prove q great help i
enabling him to realize his ideal.

HOW TO FORM FARM
LOAN ASSOCIATION

Though many farm loan associa-
tions are being formed under the
federal farm loan act, there is still
a great deal Of doubt as to how t.
proceed. For this reason the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture Of the Univer-
sity is passing on the following
statement from the government at
Washington:
Any ten farmers-men farming
their own land-can form an associ-
alton if the total Of their loans ex-
ceeds $4,000, provided always that
each loan is not less than 500 and
not more than $4,000. The federal
land banks are ready to send to any
n who wishes to form an associa-
ton the necessary papers. One set
of papers will be completely filled out
with fictitious names so that there
will be no possibility of making mis-
takes if it is followed. The process
OF forming an association consists Of
signing the articles Of association by
ten farmers together with the sig
nature of individual applicants for
each Of their loans. Each farmer,
however, must subscribe for stock in
the association in an amount equal
to five per cent of his loan. More
over, the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
association and the loan committee
must fill out other blanks, but the
papers will indicate the requirements
with regard to these. The first thing
to do is to get the necessary papers
from the federal land bank of the dis
trict.

Knights of Columbus Buildings Are
Finished.
All three Knights of Columbus halls
in the cantonment are now completed
and in constant use. Efforts are be-
ing made to increase the personnel of
the X. c. staff Of secretaries, accord
ing to George J. Pfanz, general Sec
rotary for the Dodge X. c. halls. At
present there are only five for the
three buildings.
At the administration building
there are in addition to Mr.. Pflanz two
assistant secretaries, j. Vincent
Mooney and Frank T. McGill. A. G.
Schrup has charge Of the building

streets. A. ]. Thorpe is in charge at
Hall No. 3.
Gas Chamber in Use
The danger of gas attacks are now
being realistically demonstrated at
Camp Dodge by a gas chamber filled
to the brim with the same deadly
fumes used by the Huns on the bat
tie front, into which every man in
the division will be sent before train
ing is completed.
Already 100 officers of the medical
detachments have been sent into the
gas chambers, protected by gas masks
and under the supervision of officers
familiar with the devices.
1t is planned to so train the men
that they will know exactly what to
do in case of gas attack, and also
how to act while they r surrounded
by the deadly atmosphere.

The first home basket ball game of
this season was played with the
Towner high school on Thursday, Jan.
10th, and proved to be a fast one,
although a little one-sided, ending in
a final score of 1918 in favor of the
Forestry. Four Of the second team
men were put in in the second half,
to prove their mettle, and did justice
to both themselves and the school.

ancient privilege,
The Cincinnati Times-Star says: 1.-THE United States
has more need for workers today than ever before. The
tasks we have before us are almost beyond calculation.
We not only need the services of every man who can be
brought to these tasks, but we have no time to bother
with or be handicapped by the idle and slothful. Men
who will not work should be made to work. Those who
refuse should be put where they will not get in the
way"
There is no excuse for any one being idle now. The
simple fact that a man has wealth should not exempt
him from work any more than it should exempt him
from military duty if he is in the draft age. There is
work for all and no one should be permitted to shirk
at a time when work means success and failure to work
means failure to win the war.

1t was feared the La Toilette republicans who voted

in the general election, but if they did their votes were
thrown away, for the socialist candidate is a very poor
