IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

IL otats Hist.. 'secognizing the
and sailor, and w1sar,.-.. ie it as
easy as possible for those r.lo have
dropped their insurance, have made
new rulings more lenient than any
provisions yet for the reinstatement Of
government insurance. The insur-
ance can be reinstated any time with
in eighteen months Of mans dis
charge by the payment Of only two
months premiums, one for the month
Of discharge and the other for the
month Of reinstatement.
The procedure for reinstatement is
as follows:
/. The insured shall file with the
Bureau Of War Risk Insurance, sign
ed application and shall send one
months premium for the amount Of
insurance to be reinstated and one
months premium on the reinstated
insurance.
2. In case the insured desires to
convert his lapsed insurance, he shall
send premium for one month on the
amount Of term insurance to- be re-
instated any converted and also Of the
first premium on the converted IN
surance. ~
8. The insured must state in his
application that he is in as good health
as at the date Of his discharge or at
the expiration Of the grace period
{ whichever Is the later date.)
The Home Service department Of
the Red Cross is cooperating with the
War Risk Insurance office in its cam
paign for reinstatement and CONVEX
sion Of insurance. Blanks upon which
to make reinstatement or conversion
can be had from any of the people
whose names are given at the bottom
Of this article. Remember you get
standard old policies when making
conversion but the rate is less than old
line insurance can be written for, as
the government pays all the running
expenses Of the War Risk Insurance
Bureau. Further information and sam
pie rates on any policy can be had
from the Home Service.

OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS

The Fargo Division Of the United
States Employm,iss1iat It .sssr-vice reports q
decided shortage ct qualified school
teachers. At present the Fargo office
is endeavoring to find 300 qualified
teachers for one room rural and for
consolidated schools. Several counties
are calling for principals in consoli-
dated and small town schools where
one or two years Of high school work
is carried.
The United States Employment
Service makes no charge for services
rendered and should be popular with
the teachers.

GRAssHOPPERs ALONG ROAD

GRASSHOPPERS ALONG ROAD
Since harvest the grasshoppers have
largely left the ripened fields and con-
gregated along the roadside and SIM
liar places where they could still find
green pasturage. Mr.. G. B. Waldron
of the N. d. Agr. College states that
the grasshoppers are laying eggs a.
long the roadsides and that the best
way Of handling these is with the or
dinary road grader which throws the
soil to the middle Of the road where
the eggs will be destroyed.

BOTTINEAU PUBLIC
SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. Lawson Wise, principal of the
high school, will be at his office at
the high school building most of this
week planning the high school daily
program, the courses of study, etc.
Those wishing to confer with him
about the high school should see him
there this week.
This year the six grades of the high
school will be unified into a single or
ganization. The six upper grades are
often divided into grades seven, eight,
and nine, called the Junior High
school, and grades ten, eleven and
twelve, the Senior High school. 1t is
intended to do away entirely with any
line Of division or separation between
grades eight and nine. To do away
with the wide breach between these
two grades is one Of the big ideas be-
hind the Junior high school movement,
which has swept the country and has
proved itself no mere passing fad, but
a fixed institution for many years to
come. All six grades will occupy the
same assembly hall, will pass to the
classrooms for recitations, organize
into literary and other organizations,
and operate in every way as one or
ganization. Grades seven and eight
are just as much high school grades
as are ten and eleven. The pupils are
physiologically and psychologically
at the high school period and the ira
ditional grade room method Of school
is generally recognized as unsuited to
pupils Of these grades. It is also
coming to be generally recognized
that too much time is. spent on reviews
in the seventh and eighth grades. A
recent report by Superintendent Dea-
mer Of Fargo sets forth their ''accel-
Grafton" plan by which they have cut
down the eighth grade work to one
half year. They find the pupils do
just as well as when dawdling q whole
year over the eighth grade common
school subjects. In fact, many cities
have no eighth grade at all, Kansas
City, Missouri, for example. So the
Junior high school makes possible the
introduction Of some Of the higher
subjects earlier. and the time required
for completion Of the high school il
shortened. Students who complete
the high school early usually get more
schooling before they discontinue It
altogether, than do those who finish
when they are older. II will be tho
policy Of the Bottineau schools to o.
courage children to advance as rapid
" as they win. Pupils II good ability
in the grades viii Be able to skip :
grade il they work ahead Of their
class, and show the teacher they can
do the work q the class in the grads
above. Getting IN edueation should
not be regarded By anybody as time
serving proposition.

Says Gallagher Knew Of Guns
The complaint against Gallagher
alleges that when D. r. Ofley, e. W..
Tayler, /. ]. Stark and George Jeffrey
went to his office to secure replevin
papers for the purpose Of going to
Mr.. Bowen's ranch to take possession
Of cattle under his. control, the states
attorney knew they were armed with
rifles, slotguns and revolvers, and
that he had reason to believe they in
tended to kill M. x. Bowen, but that
he to6k no action to prevent the muir
der
Craving out Of the Bowen case,
charges are also preferred against
Gallagher for his failure to assist in
the prosecution Of the four men who
are charged with killing the Golden
Valley rancher.
On other counts Gallagher is alleged
to Be guilty Of refusing to arrest Aud
itor Mccarthy when he was confronted
with evidence showing McCarthy's
guilt in perpetrating election frauds
at the general election last November.
He is also said to have refused to take
action against e. w. Taylor and /. J.
Stark, when they are alleged to have
attempted three times to shoot II. A.
Rataocyk and his wife. who are em-
ployed on q farm near Beach.
Many Charges Against Pierzina
The charges against Pierzina range
from crime in office to immortality and
habitual drunkenness. The principal
charge is that he refused to incarcer-
ate the four alleged murderers Of Mr..
Bowen when they were placed in his
charge and that he permitted them to
lounge around the outside Of the Jail
unguarded. He is also charged with
attempting to conceal against the slay
ers, and with threatening to shoot
Martin F. Blank. He is held to be
accessory to the fact in the murder Of

One Of the most significant develop

striking drift Of the professional class
es-the agricultural intallectuSls, Or

ing in New York City which has A.

Against these striking artists the

The meeting opened with a lively

part Of salad, sandwiches, Scotch
scones, bread, beans, cake and coffee.

and Mrs. John A. Cameron, Reverend

Lean, Jr., Rev. McBain, Chief Mac
Kay of Towner and Mrs. Jean Mac

and held the attention Of the crowd
to- thIsshd.. RAass j. Is.MacInnis gave
|a fine talk on "reminiscences of High
land Scottish homes Of Bottineau
County. (Rev. MacInnis is an old
timer in this county, Rev. I. D. Nc
Balm spoke, in a feeling and delight
full way on "Our Friendship with Mr..

Good teachers were never more diff
ficult to secure than at the present
time. The public is becoming aware
of the fact that the rewards of teach
ing and the conditions under which the
teacher works have not been such as
to attract people to the work or to
hold people Of ability who have been
teaching. In leading European coun-
tries the recruiting of the teaching
profession is made an aim Of the
schools. Teachers encourage the bet
ter grade Of students to prepare for
teaching. In America, many teach
ers use their influence to keep their
pupils from entering teaching. The
job of recruiting the teaching profess
sion belongs to society as a whole, not
merely to the normal schools and
teacher training colleges. At the pre-
sent time the average public school
feels no responsibility. The time has
come already in some cities where the
public schools Of a large territory CO.
operate with the normal school or
teachers college in the training Of the
teachers, The school superintendent
does not wait till he has a vacancy
in his staff before beginning to look
for a. teacher. He induces certain Sc
lect students whom he graduates from
his high schools to 60 to certain teach
2er training institutions, guides them
as to their courses, visits the train
ing school frequently, keeps tab On
their progress and has part of their
practice teaching done in his own
schools under his supervision. He
thus not only is a force toward bring
ing the best material into the teach
ing profession, but he feels partly re-
sponsible for the training work that
is given and gives the normal school
the benefit Of his experience, and has
"a supply Of teachers for his posi-
lions when they open up. These
teachers are not strangers when they
begin work in his school system. He
is well acquainted with them and they
are not entire strangers to the system
into which they 60.
|, If the superintendent in the neigh
borhood Of the Forestry State Normal
School become interested in some such
cooperating arrangement, it may be-
come an established part of the
teacher training work going on here.
There is no tuition charge at this
school. The only fee is for enrolling
which is, as in all other state insti-
tutions of higher learning in North
Dakota, five dollars per term Of IL
weeks, payable at the time Of enroll
ing. Books and other classroom sup
plies can be purchased at cost at the
school bookstore in the office of the
Secretary and books will be bought
hack by the school when the student
is through with them, If the student
wishes to sell them. In this way, the
cost Of books is reduced to very
small amount for a years schooling.
Students should enroll Monday, Sep
tember s. Those entering for the first
time, II they have not already sent in
their credentials, should bring them,
These credentials should show the
work done ct the school last attended
and the grades earned.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO


n X X X X X X X X X X X X X
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. just plain mulsified CO.
coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for snampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonful5
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily and removes every particle
Of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Stock Prices Drifted
With Uncertainty Today

New York, Jan. 1.-THE New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
Wall street professional bears found
too good an opportunity in the dark
cloud and uncertainty overhanging the
market not to take advantage of Il.
Stock prices were permitted to drift
uncertainty and then the trading ele-
ment turned abruptly to the selling
side. ~
The lowest quotations were generally
made around noon.
The decline was achieved, not be-
cause of any notable volume Of offer
ings but because of the extremely pro-
fessional character of the dealings.
Trading quieted down in the after
noon and rallies cancelled good por-
tion Of former declines. Offerings were
well absorbed at the low figures es-
tablished.
A number Of stocks picked up during
the wave Of selling gave a good ae-
count of themselves late in the ses-
sion.
