One Of the greatest hndrances to rural education
in this section is the opposition Of the taxpayer,
who has no children of his own to educate or whose
children have already received the benefits that the
public system has to offer. In talk with Bemdji
man and one we'll posted on this question, we have
been Informed many districts are today unfortunate
enough to have large land owners with no interest
in education, who making impossible any i'm
provements by their refusal to cooperate in any,
thing from which they not to receive direct
benefit. The old question of "why should pay
for the education of my neghbors' children?" has
been the bone of contention throughout the entire
fight against illiteracy in this country.
This class Of landowners seem to forget that it
is the pioneer who is clearing up the land next
to his which is in all probability lying idle in
unimproved> condition that is making his land valu-
able and he should be the last man to obstruct
the education Of the pioneers children.

In commenting upon the action Of the news
papers Of Minnesota with reference to their patriotic
endeavor in boosting for the Babcock road plan,
the St. Cloud Journal Press throws bouquet to
the newspapers in the following comment:
"The newspapers are freely contributing much
space to boosting the Babcock plan of lifting Min
nesota out Of the mud, which is to be expected of
them as good friends of Minnesota. Many people,
however, are of the opinion that they getting
paid at regular advertising rates, although not
single paper in the state is receiving penny from
anybody in its patriotic endeavor. The publicity
given Amendment No. if paid for at regular rates,
would run into the millions of dollars, and it is
given by the state press voluntary contribution
towards making Minnesota better and more pros
porous commonwealth. If other citizens had the
same spirit of patriotic uplft, there would not be
a vote against the Babcock plan."

THE EDITOR AND MISTAKES.
When Plumber makes a mistake he charges
twice for it.
When a Lawyer makes mistake, it's just what
he wanted, because he has chance to try the case
all over again.
When a Carpenter makes mistake, it's just
what he expected, because chances ten to one
that he never learned his trade.
When Doctor makes mistake he buries it.
When a Judge makes a mistake, it becomes the
law of the land.
When Preacher makes a mistake, nobody knows
the difference.
When Electrician makes mistake he blames
it on induction; nobody knows what that is.
But, when an Editor makes mistake-Good

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The Little Falls Transcript tells that a certain
bank is advertising budget, telling how to spend
$4,000 year. The Transcript then says that the
average family doesn't want to know how to spend
it, but how to keep from spending it.
We believe they are both wrong. In opinion
the average family is more interested in how to
get the $4,000 in the first place.
Hoover's sight must be better than the average.
He stated recently he could but two great
parties. That's one more than most of us can see.
One of our former presidents once said: 'You
will usually find cheap man inside of cheap
coat" There are no cheap men now.

Serious Situation in Budapest.
Vienna.-The latest reports
from Budapest indicate that the
situation there is quite serious.
More than 400 are reported to
have been wounded in the po-
groms committed during the ear
1y part of the week. Some of
these victims are dying in the
hospitals and of those known to
have succumbed to his wounds is
Lazar Nussbaum, II year old
student. In the last attacks four
are known to have been killed and
10 wounded. An effort on the
part Of the police to stop terror
was resisted. Reports of pogroms
have also been received from the
provinces. The government is
now showing considerable con-
Germ and an investigation by the
authorities is said to have re-
vea1ed the fact that a large num-
Der of offices are involved in the
latest effort on the part of the
terrorists. It was established that
Minister Tamziani knew of the
pending pogroms many days in
advance and warned the govern
ment which, however, took no
measures to- prevent them. The
Budapest theaters are facing a
serious crisis for they all depend
ed chiefly upon Jewish patronage
but fearing for their lives the
Jews keep away from all public

1t was a note, freshly written on the

"The distressed lady desires to

for his chivalry of yesterday. She Is
profoundly sorry that in her service
the gentleman In stateroom A was so
unfortunate as to acquire a red eye
with blue trimmings"

ties, Simon, Peter. Andrew, James,
Joh1, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew,
Thomas, james. Jude and Simon, and
not emitting Judas Iscariot, the scaly

He did and under the ameli0rating

Must Not Jump Contracts.

State Superintendent of Public In
struction f. c. Brooks has notified all
city and county superintendent that
the state board will not recognize
teachers who sign up with one school
system and then break their con-
tracts.
There is no law against breaking
these contracts, but the ruling of the
board is that no salary fund for that
particular teacher will be provided
from the general educational funds
of the state.
Should a teacher begin work for
one city or one county, and break
that contract to go to another city
or county, the school committee TO
which she goes will have to provide
the pay for the full term, for the
state will not provide money for
teachers breaking their contracts.

CHAPTER II.

Webster's dreams of bliss had, with
very slight variations, come true as
per schedule. In Salt Lake City he
abandoned the beefsteak on his dam
aged eye for two businesslike leeches.
which quickly reduced the nocturne
effect around his orb, enabling him,
the third day, to saunter forth among
his fellowmen. BY the end of the
week he was being reilcarnated, and
so he packed huge new wardrobe
trunk with his latest purchases and
journeyed on to Denver. Coincldent
with his arrival there, we again take
up the thread of our story.
One hour after his trunk arrived the
gentleman from Death valley might
have been observed standing before
a cheval glass looking long and
earnestly at the reflection Of his mid
dle-aged person, the while he marked
the fit of his new ralment. John
Stuart Webster was all dressed up for
the first time In three long, labor-rid-
den years, and was tremendously glad
OF II. He lighted cigar and stepped
forth into Seventeenth street, along
which he strolled until he came to a
certain building, into the elevator of
which he entered and was whlsked to
the twelfth floor, where he alighted
and found himself before wide portal
which bore in gold letters the words:
Engineers Club"
The Engineers club was the closest
approach to home that John Stuart
Webster had known for twenty years,

somining which Father Time had done
