though the state board Of administra-
ton has been In session at the state
house for two days. Secretary LESS
mann declares that nothing but rou-
tine matters have received attention.
n board still has three important
appointments to make-a successor
normal, a successor to Mrs. M. C..
Budlong. as secretary Of the public
library commission, and a state text
DOCK commission, to prepare the
school books which the youth Of
North Dakota are to study and pos
sibly to provide for the printing Of
these in a state printing plant. . No
action in any of these matters has
yet been taken, reports Secretary
Liessmann.
While the 100000 memorial build
ing with which the last assembly de-
creed North Dakota should honor her
fighting men is still much in embryo.
State Auditor Kositzky, a member of
the commission which has this enter
prise in charge, stated yesterday that
the state engineer has completed his
preliminary survey of the grounds,
mas prepared a plat and has filed it
with the commission. The late board
of control employed two landscape
architects to psopare plans for the
parking of the capitol grounds, but
there is no report of their progress.
A report to the effect that Cass
county town and city lots were boosted
SOC per cent by the state board of
equalization is incorrect, states Carl
kositzky, state auditor. The state
board decreed an increase of AS per
cent in Cass county, which brought
the final valuation UP to 800 per cent
of last years assessment. The orig
inal increase was made by the Cass
county board of equalization under
the terms of North Dakota's new clas-
sification act.

Townley Press Peeved.
:. The state auditor has been criticized
in the Townley press for transferring
July l the amount apportioned to the
state high school fund. The charge
has been made that these funds were
appropriated before they were levied,
thus taking from the state treasury
money which might have remained
there to pay the administrations ex-
penses. Mr.. Kositzky points to the
fact that the money appropriated July
l vas levied for 1918 and was the
appropriation apportioned among the
high schools of the state for 1918, just
as In 1918 there was made the ap-

Dear X. c. B.-We had a beautiful
white English setter dog, two years
old Prince was his name; my Wife's
companion while / was at work; my
gleeful pal in the woods; our faithful,
understanding friend. We loved him,
and his love for us shone out of his
brown eyes in terms beyond power oil
words to express.
Someone stole him from us and took
him far away into a strange part OF
the country, He tried to come back
to us, but even his sturdy limbs and
strong heart could not tathom me aisI
lance, and after many weary miles had
sapped his strength he was found, weak
and exhausted, by one who loves good
dogs.

Soon he was hopping lover the fields

for an adventure for himself, but for
something bright and cheerful to make
the bungalow pretty for Nurse Jane.
But as 1t was November, almost
Thanksgiving, and nearly winter, there
were no more bright flowers. in the
fields, and all the pretty leaves had
fallen from the trees. There were only
some brown leaves on the "a trees,
and these were not bright enough for
Nurse Jane, though pretty enough in
themselves.
Where shall l find something
snappy?' thought the bunny rabbit,
and he was just beginning to think he
was out of luck, when, all Of a sudden,
he caught a flash Of something red.
At first he thought it might be his
pink nose, shining in a puddle of water,
as 1t sometimes glittered in a looking
glass at the bungalow. u there were
no woodland pools OF water nearby, and
then Uncle Wiggily saw what 1t was
that looked so bright and cheerful.
1t was a bush OF red berries not far

them a second time than the rabbit
gentleman exclaimed:
