Nice Rain Falls, Helps
Corn and Late Grain

Tuesday evening the vicinity was
visited by thunder storm, that gave
much needed rain to the country.
That morning there was small show
er, but not enough to be noticed. After
several days of real hot weather and
last few days with the mercury how
ering around the 100 mark, there was
sure to be a>change in the weather.
The next morning after the rain the
air was cold and everybody wore a
coat to keep off the chill.
The rain did quite little good as
everything was drying up for the
want of water The truck gardens
were suffering the most from the lack
of rain, as it was about month ago
that the heavy rain fell, which insured
the crops around Washburn. Although
the crops could have stood more rain
they received more than in former
years. The rain Tuesday will aid the
corn, late flax and millet.'

Turtle Lake Wins;
Sunday Last Game
On Home Diamond

Turtle Lake took revenge off their
old enemy, Washburn, Sunday when
they beat the local team in a game Of
ball by a score of 10, to 4, at the Tur-
tie Lake ball park. 0
It was revenge they sought in every
sense Of the word, for the Last time
the two teams played, Washburn beat
them by score of 10 to s. With the
losing of this last game, Washburn
still has the best of the neighboring
team. Out of the five games played
Washburn has won three.
The last game to be played on the
home diamond will be played next
Sunday at the North End Park be-
tween the local nine and the boys
from Ruso.
Ruso is boasting good team this
year, as in the first IL games they
played they won 10 of the games.
They defeated Washburn on their
home diamond several Sundays ago.
This is a good record but 1t is under
stood that Washburn is loaded for
this game and the struggle that will
take place on the diamond this COM
ing Sunday will be one that will long
be remembered by the local fans.
1t has been rumored that Ruso is
coming with strong team, and are
determined to take the long end of
the score back with them; to let the
scalp of the county seat aggregation
adorn the walls of the little village
in the North. 1t remains to be seen
The war cry is, everybody out for the
game Sunday and win this last game
on the home diamond.

DUTY TO VOTE
FUSION TICKET

VI Declaring his intention to support

limit, F. E. Packard, assistant attor-
ney5general, issued the following open
letter:
THE duty of every reputable cit
izen in North Dakota in the present
crisis ought to be plain. There ought
to be no hesitation on the part of
anyone opposed to Town1eyism and
Socialism in alligning themselves be-
hind the ticket headed by O'Connor,
no matter how composed or named.
In courageous series of line
.smashes, requiring both daring ana
resourcefulness in their execution,
LANCER carried the ball to the enc
mys five-yard line. He was able to
doIhis by. the unselfish support and
interference of men of all the various
anfi-Townley groups Under the rules
OF. the game, the ball now passes to
O'Gonnor, and it is the duty of every
good citizen of the state, who earnest
ly desires the elimination of Tow9-
leY and his socialist gang, to join in
the formation which is being made
about O'Connor, and to use the same
tireless courage in putting him over
for touchdown that he did in bring
ing LANCER to the five yard line.
5s''While have my preference as to
candidates, will gladly support any
and all candidates selected.
asThe issues confronting us are big
ger than men; bigger than offices;
bigger than parties; we must cheer
fully yield our personal ambitions;
our preferences; our partisan bias, in
order to- enable the leaders of this
| fight to weld us into an effective. fight
ing; force:
aIt matters little in the final ANAL
ysis who; is Unitedl States senator, or
Who oEgoes to congress, S but it ! Is OF OF

I've assenb!ly e l.ss!!;':
with the governor, the legislature and

will be in position to jeopardize the
personal liberty of every citizen OF
the state, to say nothing OF the en-
dangering of property rights.

Comfy Superintende Of Schools,
M. q. McCnrdy has stated that the
schedule Of wages prepared by the
State Teachers \ Association is set
with a minimum wage for qualified
school teacher at $1,000 q month.
This. Mr. McCurdy points out, is not
compulsory on the part Of q school
board, but it, is merely the decision OF
{ the Association and Of public oppin-
ion. TO adopt this schedule, boards
would be more able to secure quail
fed teachers in the schools. Too, the
teachers who are not qualified will
have no complaint to- make If they
are not paid as much as other teach
ers. ..55 n Il. 3.5t
It is understood that qualified
teacher is one who holds q certifi-
cate or, in the opinion of Mr.. Nc
aCurdy, one who has graduated from
a four year high school course.
This qualification should \ enable q
teacher to secure a school that pays
"a salary or $4,000 month as a min
imum, at least, if tits her first year Of
I teaching The scale also provides for
a $1,000 per month annual increase
for four years Of teaching, that is.
800. 90 per month the second year,
$110 for, the third, etc. e.. sn IL
Mr.: McCurdy states, however, that
there is nothing in the law which COM
pels a board to pay the same wage
to teachers in the same district, ZEAL
izing that the teacher getting the low
er wage will try to insist that the
school board give her a wage equal to
that paid another teacher in the same
district. However, If the board fol
lowed the schedule no teacher can
have . legitimate complaint for she
