FORESTRY STATE NORMAL
A. SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Ruth Miles, head of the De-
partment of English, arrived last Sat-
urday and assumed her duties this
week. She holds both the Masters
and the Bachelors degree and has had
splendid experience in educational
work, part Of which has been in the
capacity of superintendent Of schools.
She possesses good training and en-
thusiasm and the school will be
strengthened by her membership in
the faculty.
b A faculty picnic was held last Sat-
urday at Lake Metigoshe, participat-
ed in by both normal and public
school teachers. Those present had a
delightful time and feel under special
obligation to those who provided the
launch, the automobiles, the cottages,
and other equipment. Supper was
cared for by the Misses Cathro and
McDougal, instructors in household
arts and the picnicers appreciated
their good service. The unusual beau
ty Of scenes in the mountains this
time Of year is particularly impress
sive to those who are not familiar with
this part of North Dakota.
The schools enrolment is larger
considerably than a year ago. Last
year the opening was a month later,
about October 1 and about thirty reg
ular students entered the first week.
This year, over fifty. The students
the school wishes particularly to enroll
are those who enter in the fall and
continue right through the year. It
is impossible to get an education in
a few weeks. After years of insti-
tutional training, student tends to
become student for life, that is, he
has the student-attitude throughout
life and continues to be on the look
out for education for himself. He de-
liberately seeks as much in the way
Of educative experience as he can get.
Very many activities of life are not
really educative.
It is planned to open Hovind Hall
some evening for the inspection of the
public. Further announcement later.
Special exercises were held We'd
nesday, Sept. II, in commemoration Of
Constitution Day. Oud Federal con-
stitution is one Of the worlds great
est documents.
School will adjourn tomorrow at
10:45 a. M, and the students and
teachers will take part in the Home
coming program.

MONTANA SHEEP ON BOT
TINEAU COUNTY FARMS.

There is not a farm animal that
pays for itself in so short a time
as the sheep. Not only does the sheep
pay 100 per cent on the investment
but is one of the best weed eradicators
that we have. There is fall pasture in
Bottineau County for thousands Of
head of these observation-disclosures
makers, SO why not take advantage
of the drought conditions of Montana,
where the sheep men must cut down
their flocks on account of feed short
age, and get few head to clean up
the fields of Russian thistle etc.?
The prices asked for lambs vary
from II to 13 cents pound depending
on the quality Of the lambs. The graz
ing Of lambs and weathers on stub
BILE and if possible finishing them on
screenings should be profitable if the
lambs are good. Of course big drop
in the market you'd make the venture
unprofitable, but it is worth the
chance.
Ewes under four years old can hard
ly be bought in Montana except pos
sibly yearlings, and they would cost
from $1,000 to $14.0O per head.
For the farmer who wishes to start
in the sheep business the fullmouthed
ewes is the best buy. These range
from s to z years, and can be bought
for $500 to 5000 per head on the
basis of cutting out the broken
mouths. The broken mouths can be
bought for $50 per head0 and are a
good buy at the price if they are
strong and thrifty. The full-mouthed
eve will last on a Bottineau County
farm from two to four years. They
will shear more wool, will raise more
and better lambs and will take better
care Of them than younger ewes, and
with reasonable care should pay for
herself the first year.-C. B. Aamodt,
G. Agr. Agt.

GANG TO fight
LEAGUE FARMERS
POLITICIANS OF DICKINSON TO
START MOVEMENT AGAINST
FARMERS

"The Independent League" is the
name Of an organization launched at
Dickinson last week by gang politi-
clans for the purpose Of opposing the
Nonpartisan League program in west
en North Dakota. Not only has this
organization borrowed it's name from
the farmers, but it tries to initiate the
methods of the Nonpartisan League.
It aims to have close organization
based upon membership fee Of SO.
Three organizers are already at
work trying to gather in members,
presumably on a commission basis.
They are D. E. Shipley, former Sec
retary Of the Farmers Union of N.
Dak., and renegade from the Nom
partisan League; M. L. Mcbride, an
ti-League state senator and chairman
of the county central Republican COM
mittee. T. F. Murtha. anti-League
representative in the North Dakota
legislature.
Several pool hall owners Of Dickin-
son were among the first men solicit
ed and have joined the organization.
They are bitter against the Nonparti-
san League on account of recent raids
on their halls by Langer's pool hall in
spectors. The membership so far is
made up almost entirely of town peo-
pie, although a few I. V. A. farmers
have been induced to join. It is the
opinion in Dickinson that the politi-
clans organizing this movement are
doing so for the purpose Of raising
money to advance their own personal
interests under the cloak Of fighting
the Nonpartisan League.

IN TREASURY
M1LLION BETTER BALANCE
THAN LAST YEAR sH0st.4. !,
IN SUIT

The suit Of Tax Commissioner Geo.
p Wallace against State Auditor G.
r. Ko4tzky for causing the non-pay-
ment 81 Wallace'ss salary through q
manipulation Of the state funds, has
brought out the fact that the state
treasury is in an unusually good condi
ti0n.
In the face Of. Kositzky's claim Of
bankruptcy, the ledger balance was
2,151,505.89 on August 1st in excess
Of what it was on the same date last
year. The total ledger balance in the
state treasury on August l, 1919 was
$2,433, ,457.74 as against 81, ,281, ,951 .85
on the same date in 1918.
The court proceedings have also re-
vealed the fact that in his eagerness
to hamper and injure the administers
tion by depicting the general fund
Kositzky created special fund on his
own responsibility and transferred
money to it. The last legislature ap-
spr0p1iated $15, 900 to conpensate own
ers Of animals killed by the health
authorities for glanders and dourine.
twas intended that this money should
remain in the general fund and be
paid out as it was needed.
The evidence showed that while on
ly S1,698.91 has been needed to date
to pay claims the state auditor trans
ferred the whole amount to special
fund he. created.
According to Commissioner Wallace
the auditor has now standing idle
while salaries are not being paid $18,-
S01jOe in separate fund heretofore
unknown waiting for some horses to
be killed before it be paid out. This
money has always been kept in the
general fund since the CHAMBERS and
dourine law was passed. 81
Kositzky's plea before the court for
these acts is that there are no laws
against them.

REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF
FLOUR
United States Grain Corporation
Minneapolis, MINI.
Sept. TO-. 1919.

Hon. ]. C. Miller,
Soufi4 n. Dak. ~7Fs
Dear Sir:
We are in receipt Of your favor Of
Sept 3rd and are very glad you wrote
us.
We assure you that the Government
stands ready to deliver flour strictly
in accordance with the prices published
namely $1,000 per barrel delivered to
any point in the United States car
load lots, packed in 140 pound jute
sacks. The flour is straight wheat
flour and for the present will I'm
doubtedly be manufactured from soft
winter wheat. It is not a patent
flour but is the same quality that the
Grain Corporation is buying and has
been buying for its export program.
We stand ready to divert carload
lots to any point desired, upon receipt
Of guarantee that the flour will be
sold at not to exceed $10.75 wholesale
or 312.O0 retail. That is to say the
wholesaler or jobber could take pro-
fit Of Is cents above our $1,000 basis
and the retailer could charge $1.25
per barrel above the wholesalers price.
There is no reason why the people
Of any community could not pool to-
gether and take q carload at the gov
ernment price If some responsible per-
son Weuld ASSUME the distribution and
payment, which must be by sight
draft We trust this gives you full
info1nation.
Yours very truly,

WHEN ESTATE
is SETTLED
Your Patriotism Viii
Be Measured. How
Many Liberty Bonds
Did he own, will be
Question For
Many Years.

Nowadays when man dies and his
estate is up for settlement one of the
first questions that comes into every
body's mind is "How many Liberty
Bonds did he hold?" 1t is in tina,
way that the American pubic is max
ing up its mind about the real pa
triotism of the man at a time when
patriotism meant so much
For Il generation every estate that
is settled will get the same careful
scrutiny 1t doesn't matter how loud
you yelled when the soldiers left for
overseas, how many buttons you
wore, or how enthusiastic you were
when the troops returned-it is the
cold hard facts as shown by putting
your. faith into works that viii
count in public opinion. Lip-service
does not count for much in favor Of
the stay at home who bought no
bonds, who bought no W. 5. S. and
who failed to contribute to the war
activities.
Wearing a red-whit lnd-blue tie
is all right in its way is touch
of patriotism to carr, American
flag and the colors of the lilies on the
car radiator, but it is Liberty Bonds
and W. S. s. in the safety deposit
vault that really counts in the ease of
the man who could not go to war
the American who was unable to
fight or to serve in any service capac-
ity. \ good many people bought
$50 bonds in the first campaigns
where they should have bought sever
al hundreds of dollars. Some Of
them got by with it, posed as patriotic
neighbors and the friendship of their
friends. Bat it is the final summing
and retained the respect of their
up that counts.
When executors and trust compan-
les start in to wind up their affairs
after these camouflaged patriots have
passe. from the scene of wars and
rumors of war, then is when the
humiliation comes to those who are
left behind. The estate may be en-
tirely sound, it may be valuable IN
every respect but there will be some
thing lacking if it does not show that
the man who left il did not make his
money do its honest part when the
country needed his help. When .
wealthy man, or a we'll to 10 mar,
passes on, leaving behind him what
soever he has gathered Of goods and
worldly gear, there is universal
sneer if the inventory of his estate
fails TO show that he thought enough
of his government to support il with
his money when it needed monetary
support. Since the beginning of the
loan drives most every one can call
to mind the passing of some individ-
dual whose death showed that there
was little patriotism in their makeup.
A safety-deposit box stuffed with
Liberty Bonds whether they be of the
first or the Fifth issue is something
worth having and worth passing
along both from an investment and
a sentimental standpoint.
