HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

On Thursday evening of last week
the Juniors gave a farewell party to
Wallace Mast. When all had arrived,
they seated themselves in a circle
in the high school hall and played
games. The games were exceedingly
exciting, although somewhat strenuous
and everyone seemed to have lots of
spirit. Indeed. you couldn't affoId tt
be dull in such games as mo, Sir;
Not I, Sir" or General Delivery" if
you didn't want to be at" The re-
freshments were very dainty and
pleasing. Then just before leaving,
Ella Bartlett gave an original speech
and a clever little prophecy of Wal
lace's future, to which Wallace re-
Piled with an interesting and most
unusual improptu speech.
Saturday night the members of the
Girls GIee Club with their specially
invited boy friends enjoyed them,
selves in the sewing room Of the do
nestle science department. The dig
nifed game, progressive somerset,
was played during the evening and a
prize was awarded to Anna Belle Mes
son and Clyde Martin for having the
highest score. Fancy sandwiches
fruit salad, cocoa and cake were
served at a sufficiently late hour to
warrant pleasant (D dreams, and the
party, d~isbanded.
The exhibit in the home economics
rooms last Thursday afternoon was a
great success. The first year girls
exhibited plain sewing of various
kinds. They are doing fine and are
taking an interest in sewing, but need
the encouragement OF the public by
attending their exhibits. The second
year class displayed waists OF wash
silk or satin and crepe de chene. They
have also taken up millinery this year
The tams and hats show a great deal
Of ability on the part of both stu
dents and teacher. This course is re-
ceiving much attention and is most
beneficial to the students. The
classes are gradually growing and we
hope that before long nearly every
girl in high school will be a domestic
science girl"
New Teachers Entertain Old Ones
The party given at the school house
hast Saturday evening by the new
teachers was a delightful occasion
Between thirty-five and forty were
present. The decorations were in
keeping with the high school colors--
red and blue. Supper was served by
the Ladies' Aid Society at the Metho'
dist church parlors. After supper the
party returned to the school house
A track meet furnished the amuse.
ment for the evening. which proved to
be a real thriller for the fans. At the
close a high school paper was planned
summing up the events of the evening.

THE AMERICAN BANK SCANDAL

w. III. King, chairman Of the Repub-
lican state committee, writes the Reg
lister from Mitchell as follows:
The Fargo North Dakota Scandi-
navian American Bank scandal has
attracted wide attention in this state
to the activities of A. c. Townley and
his ability to finance his various or
CARNATIONS through this bank and the
Bank Of North Dakota. The fact that
Townley could borrow from the Scan
dinavian-American Bank, which has a
capital of $4,000, the sum of $4,000
for his Consumers stores, $72,617 for
his N. p. League, $1,000 for his Sisal
Company makes the South Dakota
farmers wonder what kind of banking
regulations there are in North Dako-
ia. Now ome Assistant Attorney
General Grant B. Packard, of Bis
Marck, n. D., with a statement to the
effect that taxes levied in North Da-
kota have increased in 1919, 250f over
what they were in 1918. The increase
on farm lands in North Dakota is
100 per cent. Mr.. Packard says:
Just how the state is to be financed
for the mex year is beyond me. It
can only be done by legally raiding
the endowment funds-borrowing from
these funds to meet the current eX-
penses of the state. The problem is
a serious one, and am thankful that

Following is a statement Of Mr..
Townley's tax scheme for North Da-
kota for the year of 1919, and an ex
hibit of how the North Dakota farmer
will pay for Townley's schemes:
Average taxes paid on quarter sec
tons Of North Dakota farm land, 1918,
$35.O7: aVtrage taxes to be collected
this year, 1919, on quarter sections Of
farm land, 1892; increased cost to
farmers per 100 acres Of farm land,
$24.85; total assessed valuation of
North Dakota property for 1918, $400-,

AND GARDEN

Don't be in a hurry to bring in the
bulbs. A good system is essential
first, then top growth.
Baked squash is nearly, if not quite,
as good as sweet potatoes. Squash are
easily raised and on rich land are
very productive.
Clean and oil all machinery and tools
before putting them away for the win
ter. Rust never did improve the work
ing qualities Of a tool.
Mulch well any plants that may have
been set this fall. Spring is the best
time to set out plants, but sometimes
we have to move plants in autumn if
we are to have them.
A light covering of straw on the
strawberry bed will protect the foliage;
more can be put on later. AS a rule
but one covering is put on and that
when the ground is frozen hard enough
to hold up a team. Four or five inches
of straw is enough.
Fragrance in flowers is desired by
many. One peony grower in Mime
apolis has made it a hobby for years to
collect scented peonies. Now that he
is blind and somewhat deaf, he can
still enjoy the varieties, recognizing
them by their odor.
Keep grass and weeds away from the
apple and plum trees If you expect
them to have a whole hide next spring.
Mice like to nest in weeds or rubbish
near soft bark trees, because they
furnish them easy meals during the
winter.
A winter vacation spent in st. Paul
attending the winter meeting of the
State Horticultural Society will be
time spent to good advantage. There
will be many good papers on the pro-
gram and a chance to see some
good greenhouses if one wishes.
Old n should be cut out of the
raspberry bed and burned. They
often furnish a home to insects over
winter. 1t is a good plan not to let
raspberries grow very thick. Cultiva-
ton helps to keep the insects in check
as well as encourages the growth Of
the plant.

Y. m, c. A. BUREAU

Through the employment bureau of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton student help has been furnished
for a wide variety of jobs. Not only
the students but the community has
benefited by this work performed faith
fully at a time of unusual scarcity OF

buildings under construction. digging
cellars, assisting carpenters. and clean

Northcliffe contaminated his high
est ambition by securing control Of
the Times" This coup was per-
haps the greatest newspaper sensa-
ton ever sprung in Britain. Lord
Northcliffe had gone about the acqui-
sition of the stock so quietly that
even the principal owners of the
paper themselves were unaware of
what was happening until he had
secured a majority of the holdings.
Of the place that the Times" has
for a century occupied as part of
the warp and wool of the British
empire; of what the Chimes" means
to the nation; of it's unparalleled
political power; of it's unrivaled rep
utation as the fountain head of ma
tional and international news and
thought, there is no room here to
speak. Indeed, the American citi-
zen, unacquainted with European
life, cannot begin to conceive the
majesty which attaches to The
Thunderer," as it is nick-named be-
cause of it's ponderous power. It's
possession probably means more to
Lord Northcliffe than the possess
sion of all the other fifty periodi-
Gals he controls through his incor-
porated company, The Amalgamated
Press.

Iobs in Civil Service

In a circular recently distributed by
the United States civil service COM
mission attention is called to an exec
utiye order promulgated by the pres
ident on July 18, 1918, which pro-
vides that "a person leaving the
classified civil service to engage ir
the military or naval service of the
government during the present war
with Germany and who has been
honorably discharged, may be rein
stated in the civil service at any
tins within five years after his dis
charge, provided that at the time Of
reinstatement he has the required
fitness to perform the duties of the
position to which reinstatement is
sought
The civil service commission states
that. in recognition of the services
rendered by civil service employees
who entered the military or naval
commission will make special effort
to assist these men in securing suit
able positions in the government
service rather than to leave upon
them the entire burden of finding
suitable vacancies.
A man who is eligible for rein
statement under the order may ap-
ply to any Office or establishment
Of the government under which he
desires reinstatement, but, if he pre-
fers. he may request the civil serv-
ice commission or one of it's district
secretaries to enter his name upon

brought to the attention of appoint
ing officers when vacancies are to
be filed.
