new SCHOOL STANDARD
Small Town and Grade Schools Will
COmDete in Future.

All the small town or grade Schools
in the state are thrown into COM
petitive class by a remodeling OF the
Standardization plan adopted by the
state board of education. The stand
ardization plan, which heretofore has
included only rural schools, has been
extended to the grade or small town
schools and a definite set of standards
set for them.
In announcing the extension of the
standardization plan, State Superin-
tendent w. D. Ross's outline is pref
aced by . the following statement,
which explains the development of the
standardization plan and the success
that it has accomplished since it's in
auguration in 1915:
THE Standardization of rural
schools has accomplished notable re-
suits in establishing definite ideals
and encouraging better school condi-
tons thruout the state; the high
schools of the state have been built up
and materially strengthened thru the
accrediting and approval of high
schools; but between these two classes
fthere is a large group of grade schools
in the smaller towns that heretofore
have received no direct recognition
from the state. There has been a
just and growing demand that the
plan of standardization be broadened
to extend it's benefits to schools of
this type, for unless the quality of
work and general conditions in the
grades are maintained on a par with
the high school the general efficiency
of the school must inevitably suffer
1t is to meet this demand, as well as
to stimulate interest in elementary
schools of every type, that thus revi-
sion is made"

the Americans have found 1t to be
literally lined with tunnels, dugouts
and galleries which require great
deal of mopping up. Large numbers
of Germans have been killed, but be-
fore they were silenced the enemy
masses worked their machine guns
with the greatest vigor.
When the Americans swept past the
southern end of. the tunnel the Ger
mains remained in hiding until the
Americans got a little way past and
then they surged up and plunged into
the fight. They were engaged first
by the Americans then by the Aus
tralians. The tunnel mouth was
choked with dead. This action began
late last evening and continued until
8 o'clock this morning with undated
intensity.
Hold German Trenches.
American units now are holding
trenches in the Hindenburg line from
which the Germans have tried to force
them. Everywhere there has been
fighting of the hardest character.
Reports just received indicate that
north of Bellicourt there was very
heavy fighting, and the Americans in
spite of great pressure against them,
have held their positions. in not a few
cases to the last man. They fell fight
ing rather than to give up a single
inch of ground to the desperately
fighting Germans, who seemed to have
beeni hurled against them regardless
of the cost.
AS a result of the fighting up to this
evening the Americans are holding
lines forming a salient which bulges
slightly westward between Gouy and
Joncourt, but this, at last reports was
being gradually eliminated.

The article under comment proceeds:
"Borglum is a nany-sided man. He pre-
sents the rather unusual figure in America

in public affairs. He has upheld the theory,
a commonplace in continental Europe, that
an artist need not be divorced from bust

"A Simple Home Made Sun
Dryer for Fruits and
Vegetables

GUN drying is undoubtedly the SIM
~ plest and most inexpensive method
of preparing fruits and vegetables for
winter, storing. A simpler dryer that can
be made at small cost consists of a
shallow box with a sash or piece of
glass fitted over the top. Bore holes
in the sides and near the top and bot
tom for ventilation, but cover them
carefully with netting to keep out flies
and mosquitoes.
Set the box at an angle so that the
suns rays fal directly on the glass.
Apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, rasp-
berries and almost all fruits can be
dried in this way satisfactorily. First
wash the fruit carefully, dscarding any
that show signs of being overripe or
decaying. Slice thin, and lay out in the
box without overlapping the slices. Turn
the slices occasionally and take them out
as they dry. The only things to guard
against in this type Of dryer are dust

COLONIZATION in California is be-

of the investment must be paid at the

january II is the date, the historical date
On that day the American army went into
the trenches for good; on that day the
United States took over q sector of the long
battle line in France. 1t is very small
sector as yet, but it will grow-it is grow
ing, in fact, as I write-and perhaps it will
end by changing the world.
"Where is that sector, where is that ad-
vanced bastion of America in the fight to
save civilization? Take map Of France,
and mark with your pencil the long battle
line. 1t starts on beach of the North Sea
at Nieuport, in the last little corner of free
Belgium; it runs then south (soon entering
France) along the following towns approx
imately (some of the towns I name are
one side of the line, on the other),
thus: Nieuport, Ypres, Lens, Arras, Com
bles, Peronne. Gradually it inclines east
ward till it is running southeasterly along
Saint Quentin (held by the Germans), Laon
(held by the Germans), and Rheims (held
by the French) From Rheims it shoots
frankly east to Verdun (every one knows
who holds Vcrdun). After Vcrdun the line
does queer trick. 1t goes southwark for
twenty miles to little town called Saint
Mhiel, then turns at right angles and runs
east to ont-a-Mousson,. almost up to the
German frontier. The line then follows the
