Council RECON-
MENDS LATE Open
ING Of SCHOOLS
Boys Needed on the Farms For Fall
Flowing During Month of
September.

Bismarck, Aug. 15.-In order that
the older boys Of the town and coun-
try may have the opportunity to help
increase the food supply of the ma
ton and at the same time not be de-
prived Of any educational advantages,
the North Dakota Council Of Defense
by resolution, has endorsed the rec
concentrations of the State Board of
Education that, as far as possible,
the public schools of the state do not
open earlier than September 80, and
close about the last ewek in June,
and that there be in all rural COM
munities only a weeks vacation at
Christmas and two weeks vacation
in the spring during the seeding sea-
son.
The resolution was not passed in the
form of an order, but in the form of
a recommendation, and it is made dis
cretionary with the local school
boards as to the date for opening and
closing fschools.
"If North Dakota is to maintain a
maximum production of food grains
for the duration of the war;" said
Secretary Thomas Allan Fox, in ex-
planning the reason for the Councils
Recommendation, eve must utilize and
conserve every ounce of man power
within our state. Extensive prepare
ton for next years crop can be made
during the month of September in the
nature of fall blowing and seeding
of winter grains, while in June there
is absolutely no work that the boy
can perform on the farm.
GIN view of these conditions, is it
not better for the boys to be out of
school when they can be of service on
the farm than it is to be out of school
during the month Of June, when there
is no work for them to perform. The
longer spring vacation during seeding
time will also help in the conserva-
ton Of our labor without any edu-
cational losses to the boy"
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton N. c. Macdonald reports on sta
tistics from his office that 60 per cent

ed the late opening and closing rec

Choose Rose Bed Carefully-Find
place where the roses will not be In

generous amount of sunlight and
south exposure. Never plant roses
too near buildings or tall trees, as they
are more subject to mlldew and draw

milk would attempt to disprove the
statement that the best milk for any
purpose is that freshly drawn from
che udder of healthy animal, that ev-
cry hour that passes between the time
OF production and Of consumption of
the milk decreases its value; that ev-
cry process TO which ii is subjected
likewise changes 1t and makes 1t a less
desirable food. Some one has said
that nature never intended man to di-
vert the milk of the COW from It's nor.

Planting Distances vary.-The dis

down. BE sure to supply the roses
with water regularly in summer. being

This will harm them.
Insects Must BE Fought.-Among tho
many insects which attack the rose

the red spider The red spider Is the
most annoying. A way to get rid Of
red spiders IS to spray with strong

spider works most. Red spiders attack
roses which are growing against g
