HOW TO SELL SEED GRAIN

Those who know they have seed of
any variety that is fit for sowing pur.
poses whether they are able to clean
it or not, should put themselves in
touch with those who want to buy. Do
this at the earliest opportunity. The
way is as follows: If you have grain
of any sort as wheat, barley, oats, flax,
corn, millet etc. in small quantities
less than carload lots, you should send
one-half pound samples to the Pure
Seed Laboratory Immediately. We
will give you a report as to it's seed
quality. If found of quality fit for
SEED purposes. we will place your
name and address on a State Seed
List and send that seed list to all citi-
zens who wish to buy. How many
bushels have you?
Under the present emergency con-
ditions, those who have surplus of
seed ought. as a patriotic duty, to let
your neighborsknow that you are able
to provide it. The State Seed Lists
are prepared to help. We do not buy.
We do not sell. We help.
The National Law on sale of seed
wheat does not prevent you from maxi
ing a bargain with your neighbor or
any other citizen for such prices as he
is willing to pay for any seed which
is in your possession.
Farmers or elevator managers who
have grain fit for seed in quantities of
carload lots should submit sample to
the State Commissioner of Agriculture
at Bismarck. He wishes to get in
touch with sufficient volume Of grain
to furnish the County Commissioners
operating under the County Bonding
Law.
Those residing in counties which
are bonded should not fail to submit
samples to him, that your County and
nearby counties may have the benefit
of buying local grown seed at the low
est shipping rate, etc.
Samples sent to the Commissioner
of Agriculture, Bismarck, should
weigh approximately one pound and
be a fair representation of the grain
as you are able to sell it.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Louis ]. Lauth.

The high school students who
of attending the tractor school, held
during the past week, consider them
selves now to be full-fledged engin-
ee-a. The course was SO thorough and
was handled in such an able and effici-
ent manner that anyone, after attend
ing, though he had never seen a tract
or before, could name every working
part and tell the purpose and duty of
each. Great interest was shown by
the high school students as evinced by
the fact that SO many attended. Hard
ly boy remained in school and for
once the faculty could breathe easy
and enjoy life in peace.
The Seniors have formed an Eng
lish club under the direction of Miss
Reimers, for the purpose of complet-
ing the play which they were engaged
in writing during the most of the first
semester The club will meet once a
week, on Tuesday evening, in the as
sembly room of the high school. If
the play is finished in good season and
is found satisfactory, it will be elected
as the class play to be given the 10Th
of April. This is rather a novel pro-
ject and if carried out will be the first
time in the history of the local high
school that the seniors wrote their
own class play.
The spring vacation will be dropped
this year, bringing the final examina-
tions and commencement week ear
lier. This seems to meet with general
approval through the student body.
The mechanical drawing class under
Mr.. Petrie, since the beginning of the
second semester, now meets at $3.50
every morning in the science room.
This, arrangement is much more salts
factory than the previous one. The
boys find their brains are clearer and
their nerves steadier! Consequently
they are able to do much better work
At the senior class meeting held last
Friday, it was decided to get pins in
stead of rings. A very pleasing de-
sign was decided upon. The girls of
the class have practically agreed to
adopt uniform dress for commence
ment and graduation.
The students of the high school and
the grades were treated to holiday,
Tuesday in honor of Lincoln's birth.
day. Needless to say when Mr.. Blume
made the announcement in convoca-
tion, it was greeted with an outburst
of applause.
A rather painful accident happened
to Gideon Hample in chemistry Mon
day. While performing an experiment
with sodium hydroxide. the apparatus
was demolished with such force that
some of the mixture shot into his eyes.
Prompt action on the part of Mr.. Pet
rie in applying borasic acid as a neu-
tralizer. probably saved Gideon from
resulting blindness.

Red Cross is doing this and must
do it. Nearly a half million of
our own soldiers are now in
France, and million more must

We Must Mortgage Our Ability
to Secure Subscriptions to
the War Fund
The fund collected last June
is nearly exhausted and we must
raise another. Read the record
Of accomplishment and you will
be satisfied. When the new sub
scriptions come in, you may Sc
cure twenty-five per cent. of your
collections for supplies. The
money raised now should be only
sufficient to finance your work
until that time.
The Benefit Entertainment
is an expensive method OF raising
money but it may be permitted il
all of the returns are to go to the
Red Cross.
The Continuing Subscription
is a much better way. Some chap
tiers use the pre-dated check.

a means of raising money as yet
almost unused.

The Kaiser,s Dream

There's story I'm told, tho strange
it may seem,
How the Great Kaiser Bill had a
wonderful dream.
in his bed,
When his dream switched about and
he dreamed he was dead.
In very fine coffin he was lying in
state,
And thousands were there tho none
mourned his fate
His soul blizzed about and found to
his cost,
That he and his soldiers were doomed
to be lost;
He wouldn't believe it, SO to Heaven
went straight,
And arrived at the portals, knocked
loud at the gate;
Hey, Peter, get busy, quick open the
door,
See who's here. It's the Kaiser
Make everything roar,
Beat the drums, blow the horns, have
swell banquet made,
Tell Colt l have come and we'll have
parade"
Saint Peter looked out Then, in
voice loud and clear,
Said, '"Try below, Bill, you can't get
in here"
Tut, tut" said the Kaiser you're
very uncivil,
Don't probably know I'm friend OF
the Devil,
And I'm going with pleasure" so he
started to go,
A-whistling like blazes to make big
show,
When he came to Hells door he was
filled with dismay,
For while waiting outside he o'erheard
Satan say:
Look here, boys take notice, give
you all warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
in the morning;
So give him the ha! ha! and kick him
right OUT
ooh, Satan, dear friend" the Kaiser
then cried,
Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside.
But please let me in, for where else
can go?"
Indeed" said the Devil, I'm id Il
/ know"
Zach, please let me in, for I'm feeling
quite cold,
And if you want money I've plenty Of
gold;
Let me sit in a corner, no matter now

tainly not,

learly choking.
At the railroad station at F- we
reported to an officer, who had a white
oand around his arm, which read "R.

To us this officer was Santa Claus.
The sergeant In charge showed hin
our orders; he glanced through them
and said: Make yourselves comfort.
able on the platform and don't leave I;
the train is liable to be along in five
minutes FIVE hours"
It came in five hours, string Of
eleven match boxes on big, high
wheels, drawn by dinky little engine
with the "con." These match boxes
were cattle cars, on the sides of which
was painted the old familiar sign.
"Hommes 40, Chevaux g."
The R. T. o. stuck us all into one
car. We didn't care; it was as good
as Pullman to US.
Two days we spent on that train,
pumping, stopping, jerking ahead, and
sometimes sliding back. At three sta
lions we stopped long enough to make
some tea. but were unable to wash, SO
when we arrived at B, where we
were to embark for Blighty, we were
as black as Turcos and, with our un-
shaven faces, we looked like lot Of
tramps. Though tired out, we were
happy.
We had packed up, preparatory to
ietraining, when R. T. o. held up his
hand for us to stop where we were
and came over. This Is what he said |:
