Northwest School,

The Red River Valley Farm
School is the title of a three page
article IN recent number of an
educational magazine. 1t des-
crlbes fully the work of the North
west School of Agriculture, Crooks
ton, which numbers many stud
ents and graduates from this
county. According to this article
the Northwest School is likened to
the agricultural schools of Den
mark which have done so much
for that country.
The fall term closed December
%. The fall enrolment did not
reach last years although TWAS
about the average. The lack OF
funds was given as the chief rea
son why number of students who
registered for rooms in August
we're compelled to cancel their
registration at the time of opening
in the fall.
The winter term opens January
3, when large increase is expect
ed. Fortunately the school has a
loan fund at. it's disposal from
which small loans may be secured
for the payment of school expens-
es until farm marketing condl
tions are improved. With it's new
dining hall and paved roadway the
school is better prepared to serve
this section of the state than here
tofore. Any ambitious country
boy or girl is invited to write to
the school for information regard
ing it's courses, etc. No tuition
is charged. Board and room may
be secured at the school.

Indians Allowed to i.

Helena, 1.-THE United
States government should be ar
rested and tried for murder in the
first degree for permitting the
Blackfeet Indians to starye,'' said
A. G.. Satire. deputy United
States marshal, who has returned
from trip into northern Montana
He visited many points on the
Blackfeet reservation.
He has been informed that of
5000 full blood Indians IN the
Blackfeet reservation in 1915
there are now 400. % W.. .--''>-- i
In his official work he has found
the redmen badly in need of food,

promises of the agency for pro-

they at times butcher beef that

This condition is the result of
Indian Bureau supervision and

Punch Board Owner
Robbed and Fined

Last Friday night during the
wee small hours entrance was made
into the &. L. Plummer pool ball
by means of a skeleton key, and d
five dollar bill, eight two dollar
bills and a couple of gold watches
which we're the prizes offered in
the punch board game were
stolen.
Next day Mr.. Plummer kept
real quiet ~ about the theft but
warned every business man in the
village to be on the lookout for
anyone passing new bills of the
stolen denominations
The first report came from
Narum's store where two young
men passed what was supposed to
be one Of the bills. but after an
examination they proved that the
bill was not one of the stolen ones.
Ore of the fellows became SO in
dignant at being suspected of hay
ing stolen money in his possession
that he visited the above named
pool room Monday and gave Mr..
Plummer a rather artistic beating
up"
Thepext clue reported on the
theft vas when G.. A. Jordan
, rendered in payment for a pur-
chase he made at Narum's store,
five dollar bill which apparently
had been wet and wrinkled in an
obvious effort to hide it's newness
and the original creases from the
way it lay folded at the pool hall.
But it was impossible to hide the
creases and as it was a consecutive
number to one of the bills that had
already been won from the board
Mr.. Jordan was arrested. Later
he confessed to the robbery and
was taken to Mahnomen by the
sheriff where a hearing was held
before Justice Sweeney. Jordan
was allowed to plead guilty to
petit larceny and was fined 500
and costs. The fine was paid.
The stolen property was re.
covered, the thief having buried
the watches in the snow at the
school house.
Mr.. Plummer was also given g
hearing on the charge of violating
the anti gambling law. He pleaded
guilty and was let off with a Zine
of S25.-Waubun Forum.

The commissioner pays a high
tribute to the patriotism of the
Indian during the World War.
He reiterates his stand against
permitting Indians to be exhibited

to this as backward lure,' which
is not permissible as such misrep-
resents the status and the intent OF
the Indians of today. Tuberculos
lis is still the white plague
among the Indians, but progress is
being made in fighting it, by
teaching lessons in sanitation and
correct living.-Pioneer Press.

Children Of District School
Render Successful and
Pleasing Entertainment.

+ On Wednesday evening of last
week, the pupils of District school
No. 112, White Earth, gave their
annual Christmas entertainment.
The assembly room was crowded
with visitors and parents of the
children. This being the Christ
mas programme. a Christmas tree
was placed upon the stage lighted
and loaded with presents for all.
1t was the unanimous verdict of
all who we're present, that the en-
tertainmelt was one of the most
successful and pleasing ever rem
dered here, and visitors and par.
ents alike were loud in their praise
of the achievements of all who
took part. The teachers-Mrs.
Warren, Miss Snetsinger, Miss
Zimmerman and Miss Krusemark,
are to I've com Dlimented upon their
skill and ability as tutors, as 1t
was very apparent that they must
have devoted much pains in drill
ing their little actors. From the
youngest child of six to the older
ones who took part, each and every
one displayed unusual training and
talent. And it might be mentioned
that several numbers on the pro-
gramme would do justice in a real
Lycum course entertainments.
After the programme closed, a
real Santa Clause appeared on the
scene, much to the JOY and sur"
prise of the little ones. Santa
made a few appropriate remarks
and distributed the presents in
GLIDING toys, etc., as we'll as a
large bay of candy and nuts.
We hope this will not be the last
entertainment of this kind and
that. we may be favored with
another in the near FUTURE

cient to secure full control Of the gov

that instrument should be kept-must
be kept if the party is to survive and
be an agency for good.
In the event of landslide this. may
not be easy. A landslide will mean
combination of interests and infiu-
ences working to an end. and that
end the displacement of the demo-
cratic party. The victory will not be
distinctly and exclusively a republican
victory. But, obtained under repub-
ican leadership and in the name of
the republican party, it will be cred
tied to that party, and responsibility
for the results will rest upon the re-
publican organization.
But all who have assisted in the
victory-republicans, democrats and
independents--will demand to be
heard in the shaping of a program;
and conflicting suggestions will be nu-
merous.
A platform is not "a thing to get in

gree of chicane or inSincerity.
