Of the, pupils. :,
About six hundred children with the
assistance of the teachers of the
schools did their bit to make the
Fourth Liberty Loan Parade the
splendid success that it was.
The enrolment Of the schools is
continually increasing. There are now
seven rooms caring for the small chill

Gust few words tonight to let
you know that I am fine. It is quite
warm here to what it has been, al
though it does not get as warm as it
does in the states. At night we
sleep under two blankets and our
overcoats. The nights are cool like
in Dakota. Have been wondering if
threshing is over in America and how
the crops are. The crops here surely
look fine and are cut and ready to
thresh. Have seen no one from home
over here. We surely have some ex-
citing times. Tomorrow we have in

their work with decided efficiency.
All other teachers are cooperating
most heartily and entering upon their
work with enthusiasm.
The new teachers in becoming ac-
quainted with the high school stu
dents speak in glowing terms of the
splendid spirit and the marked cour-
tesy which characterize them.
AS a natural consequence incident
to the opening Of school, particularly
in new environment, with many new
teachers, with the absence of the prin-
cipal, and with the temporary lack of
adequate desks and equipment, there
has been some confusion for the first
two days. But all teachers agree that
the student body have undertaken to
make the best of all conditions and
assist the school in organizing rather
than take advantage at any time.
The city schools are taking the same
precautions against any epidemic that
are being used in Chicago. All school
children are carefully watched and
allowed to remain at home if they
give evidence Of any form of illness
and urged to consult a .physician. A
check is kept upon all such children.
There was a general agreement
among the members of the conference
of Chicago Medical men against clos
ing schools or public gathering places
there. They further agreed that the
influenza as seen in Chicago, while not
light disease, need give no reason
for panic. A number Of rumors n

JOE BOUCHER WILL
MAKE ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Democratic Nominee Has Made Pre-
paratiOns to Meet as Many of the
Ward County Voters as Pos
sible-Is Out for Sheriff

a week or so ago, the Independent
stated that from indications that ap-
peared to exist at that time, Jos.
Boucher, democratic nominee for sher-
if, was not expected to make a very
active campaign.
Mr.. Boucher, in good natured man
ner. comes right back at the Indenepn-
dent and wants to know where we got
Our authority. Fact of the matter
is, the writer didn't have any good au-
thority. It was just a case of MAX
ing poor guess for Joe informs the
Independent that he is in the cam
paign in earnest and his friends de-
clare that he has good chances to win.
So, under the circumstances, we
take it all back and hereby notify our
readers that Mr.. Boucher is a candi-
date and very active one, too. He
is preparing to meet as many of the
voters as possible.
Joe Bucher is we'll and favorably
known throughout the county. He
has been engaged in buying stock for
years and will, no doubt, make a good
run.

Minot have been the source of worry
to some, but the city physicians agree
that there is no basis at all for worry.
All needed precautions are being tax
en- and the school pupils are carefully
watched by the Health Officer, the
School nurse, the teachers and the
school authorities.
Superintendent White and tie prin
cipals met as cabinet on Tuesday
evening and discussed ways and means
to meet some of the school problems.
! All reports are gratifying and indicate
serious spirit of work and splendid
cooperation thruout the schools. Miss
| Ostrem is principal Of Junior High
School, Miss STADIUM of Central Grade
School, Mrs. Hanson of Mckinley
school, Mrs. Stevenson of Lincoln
School and Miss Walker of Sunnyside
School. O'O
With the opening of the Senior
High School, there are now about one
thousand school pupils in attendance
at Central School Grounds. =
| The principals of all the schools
have had practice fire drills during
| the past week, and are getting their
schools we'll organized for this i'm
portant drill.
Miss Liam, the school nurse, has her
office now in the office of Central
School. She will hold regular office
hour at nine o'clock and at quarter
after one.
With the cooperation of the School
Truant Officer, the States Attorney,
the City Police, and others, school pu-
pills not yet in school are being given
attention. 1t must be understood that
the law provides definitely that pupils
between the ages of six and sixteen
must be in school. The President of
the United States, the United States
Commissioner of Education and other
high officials are united in their judg-
ment that the war conditions, or high
wages, or labor scarcity must not be
taken as excuses for keeping pupils
out of school. The serious experience
of England and France stress the i'm
portance of an "every day education
for every boy and girl"
A carload of chairs and desks has
been received this week. This equip
ment will do much to facilitate the
work Of the Senior High School.
A football meeting has already been
called, and plans well under way
should eventuate in a splendid season.

THE sLAMELEss KAISER.

There is nothing surprising about the fact that the kaiser felt it neces- sary to make a visit to the great mu- milton factory of the Krupps and ob- tain a pledge from the men and wo- men employed there that they would stick to the end. He admits that it is his first visit to the plant during the war and 1t is evident that he con- sidered it necessary to make a test of the loyalty of those upon whom great dependence rests in providing munitions for the continuance of the struggle. .'.
 It is interesting to note how he an- swers his own questions when he asks Who spoke at the very beginning of the war about starving out the Ger man women and children?" and "Whn was it who introduced terrible hatred into this war; Germany of course is given clean bill of health ard the re- sponsibility is placed, as has been characteristic of the Germans. upon the enemy. It is right in line with the statement which he made at the same time to the effect that he had left no stone unturned to shorten the
 war as far as possible for your people and for the entire civilized world" This great effort was made. it is tC be presumed by his insistcnce in the first place that there could be nI peaceful adjustment of the trouble

A REeRErTABLE CONDITION.

Distressing is the report which has been made by a special Tinted States treasury Investigating committee 10 the effect that there has been a steady increase in the habitual use of mar cotics in this country during the past year. and especially SO in view of the increased efforts which have been made within that time to bring about 2 decrease in the use of such drugs by regulating the sale through fed crai egislarion
 How extensive the use of dope has become is indicated by the estimate lion addicts in the country who are known in the communities where they reside and that there are half mil lion more who are using parcotics se- rretlv. Aside from the demoralizins effect which such a growing practice is bound to have upon nation the way in which it is undermining the young manhood is shown by the claim that New York alone is expected to show 9oo,o0l users within the 21 to 31 age limits. Thousan nds have been dis missed from the army because they were users and others have been found to have acquired the habit after be- ing drafted in order to escape ser wee.

 Understanding that this is likely to have an undesirable effect upon the losn, Secretary of the Treasury Mc- Adoo Is asking immediate action by congress, so that 1t can be settled be- for the loan subscriptions are sought whereby the holders of Liberty bonds in the new loan will not be subject tc surtaxes thereon up to $3e,0oo, and that holders of the second and third issues up to a total of s45,oeO will re- ceive the same exemption.
