THE TEACHER MUSES.
By r. G.. Gale

BY r. G. Gale
Year after year they come to me,
These children with questioning
looks,
Year after year they leave me,
As they leave their outgrown books,
And I wonder sometimes if I've taught
them, .g
Just some of the worth while things,
just some of the things they'll need
in life,
Be they peasants, or poets, or kings,
OF course, they've learned Civics and
History,
And how to Divide and Add,
But have they learned that these
things are not all
That make life sad or glad?
Have I taught them the value of
smiling
When things are at their worst?
Have I taught them there's nothing
that helps like song
When the heart is ready to burst?
Have I taught them the joy of clean
living? 8
That Honor is better than Fame?
That Good Friends are the, greatest
of treasures?
Wealth, less than an Untarnished
name?
Have taught them respect for the
Aged?
Protection to those who are weak
That silence is always golden
When Gossip bids them. to speak ?
Have I taught them that Fear is a
Coward
Who is beaten when they say II
can!"
That Courtesy ranks with Courage
In the heart of the real gentleman?
Have taught them that these Things
I. and the others
That will make the Brave, Kind
and True?
If have, then, I care not if they
tell me
That 1rkutsk is town in Peru.

While we have recommended list

if complete. However, where each
pupil has a different kind of reader
we must insist upon all getting the
books listed in the county as NO

EMMONS COUNTY CHECKS
TURNED DOWN
Bank of North Dakota Refuses to.
Honor One Check Drawn by Treas
urer Atha, and Protests Another

Emmons county has more than fif--
ty thousand dollars on deposit in the
Bank of North Dakota, but it seems
that such fact didn't prevent us
from having a chack for $4,000 pro-
tested. Treasurer Atha states that
he drew two checks for $4,000 each.
One was protested, pure and simple.
The other was returned, marked "pay-
ment refused because illegally drawn.
and without authority"
We understand that several school
districts and townships in the county
are having trouble with Mr.. Cathro
over their money.
We are told that the Bank of North
Dakota does not dare to honor with
drawals, or it will "go broke" It is
probably true that sufficient number
Of Withdrawals would break the bank
for the reason that the bank authori-
ties have used liquid funds to finance
permanent undertakings. Such pro-
ceedings naturally won't work for
ever. However, the Bank of North
Dakota has proven an absolute failure
in meeting the frightened money situa-
ton. 1t was claimed for it that it
would Stabilize credit" It didn't do
that and it didn't do anything else ex-
cert furnish a lot of soft Jobs, and
some excess loans to tried and true
league workers.
But we have the Bank of North
Dakota on our hands. Whatever
steps are necessary to protect it from
"going broke" must be taken. But
that's no reason why the Townleyites
should be allowed to. use their own
ball-ups for political advantages. The
Bank of North Dakota is an absolute
white elephant in our body politics.
All that we have any use for is a
genuine farm-loan system. And
no high-brow Cathros are needed in
that.

In All Cases Of Pink Eye It Is I'm.
portant to Consult Some Good
Doctor at Once.

(By u. S. Public Health Service)
Pink eye is an acute contagious in
f1ammation of the membrane lining
the eye ball and eye lids. In other
words 1t is form of conjunctivitis.
1t begins with slight itching Of
the eye. On the morning of the Sec
ond day the margins of the lids are
stuck together by yellOwish gray
secretion. There is burning sensa-
tion In the lids, but interference with
vision is slight. Toward evening the
discharge increases and the discom-
fort is more marked. The height of
the disease is usually reached on the
third or fourth day. If simple cleanli-
ness is observed the disease usually
runs its course in two or three weeks,
but 1t may last for six months If no
treatment is employed.
In all cases of pink eye it is i'm
portant to consult good doctor at
once. for some forms of conjunctivitis,
mistaken for simple pink eye" are
really highly dangerous and may lead
to blindness. In all cases of "pink
eye" or other forms of conjunctivitis
care should be taken not to allow the
discharge to get on towels, napkins or
other articles which might be the
means of transferring the disease to
others. Scrupulous cleanliness is OF
the utmost Importance. Eye drops or
eye washes should not be used unless
prescribed by physician.
