The Budget, Valley City, N. Oak.
Dear Budget: Although in my
home state, / find myself lonesome for
North Dakota, especially for news OF
the Normal. There are no V. Y. N;
girls here and miss the talks we had
last year and the possibilities OF see
ing some of our faculty. We were so
delighted at our opportunity for a
visit with Miss Fisher. The biggest
Eat home" feeling have here is when
three or four of US get together and
discuss Educational Sociology. The
Eat home" feeling comes due to the
fact that the others had Dr.. Flnney
as their instructor at the ~" and are
as enthusiastic about him as we at
Normal.
However there hasn't been much
time to give to lonesome feelings;
During the week there is our school
work in our fully modern up-to-date
school building and so far there mas
been some excitement each week END:
The first week end the school board
entertained us by giving US an all day
boat trip on beautiful Lake Vermilion
with a splendid chicken dinner at one
of the lake hotels. There are twenty
nine teachers here so you may easily
imagine the fun we had besides get
ting some idea of the extent and Won
derfulness of this lake with it's three
hundred sixty islands and it's thous-
and miles of shore. We stopped at one
of the lovely cottages and were IN.
vited to go through it. 1t is built OF
cedar logs, has large porches, and IN
the living room. there is an immense
fire place of large stones Of marvellous
coloring. It is beautifully furnished
and in harmony with the rustic idea
Of the logs. 1t is such home as
would make Miss DEEMS heart glad.
The next week end six of us girls
were invited by one of the teachers
to a house party at her cottage on an
island. Regardless of wind, rain, and
cold three of us went in swimming be-
fore breakfast and all Of us explored
the main island which is very differ
emit from anything we are used to.
The rocks and trees seem to vie with
each for beauty.
Week end number three was spent
in hiking; Saturday to an old saw
mill where we nearly drowned in saw
dust. Sunday, to jasper Peak, next to
the highest point in Minnesota. where
we had wonderful view Of the sur
rounding country-miles of water and
# forests. The trees were in their
full autumn gorgeousness accentuated
by the green of the pine trees.

watched over by excellent farmers and
inspectors and by COW doctors who see
that we live in heulthful surroundings.
They like to know all this, and
so the milk company tells the people
all this.
But they tell them by writing it in
notices or advertisements in the news
papers.
Il do think it is funny joke to
think that men and women who are
away from the country and who rath-
er think they're very much superior
to COWS have come to the conclusion
that it is interesting to read in the
evening paper about the 10000 COWS
and how they are being looked after.
"Not only do they read about soci-
ETY. In the city papers, and not only
do they read about the money which
can be made or lost as the case may
be, but they read about COWS, good,
everyday cows. That's a joke on
them! They thought they could leave
cows alone and have their city life
without thought of cows, but they
found they wanted our milk in the
first place, for the city people drink
Il lot of milk.
"And now they're anxious to hear
about us, very anxious to hear about
us.
''They can't get away from the coun-
try and the cows. Ha, ha, hal"

went to a school which taught all
about beekeeping," said Miss Cow.
1T shows that people aren't so SUI
perior to animals and little creatures
after all. They must ask us for help,
and they must learn about our ways"
'Td hardly call cows little crea-
tures," said Mrs. Cow. "Nloo, moo,
I'd hardly do that"
II was speaking of us as animals,
and of the bees as little creatures.

A FUNNY STORY.

MOO, moo" said Mrs. Cow. II have
a funny story to tell" And Mrs. Cow
smiled a very funny COW smile.
Her big eyes looked at some of the
other cows and she said: -.f3.
"Gather around me, Cows, and. lis

So very slowly the cows got up and
came over by Mrs. Cow, and listened
to the story she had to tell. 4
"You know" said Mrs. Cow, 1--WE
give milk to the city people. Yes, the
milk that we give is given to the city
people.
II don't know that l should actually
use the word given for I don't be-
leve the milk is given away.
"But we give the milk away, and
then the milk is sold to the city peo-
pie.
"Of course we shouldn't expect to
be paid for the milk we give, as we
are given board and lodging (Which is
very apt to be Out-Of-doOr lOdslng)

White House. I shall not attempt to
describe it because you have so often
reod descriptions Of it before. Suf-
flee it 10 say that l have never before
seen or hardly dreamed Of such beauty
and magnificence.
Then over to the treasury building.
where we saw numerous medals, bank
certificates, bank notes that had been
redeemed, bars OF bronze nickle, silver
and gold. From thence to the Art GAL
lery, where one could spend a month
instead Of an hour. You have often
read, no doubt, Of the pictures ana
statuary in this building, but one can
get little idea Of just what it is like
until one sees for ones self. Every
painting, every mythical figure. every
type of man, everything that one has
ever heard Of almost,ris is reproduced in
that building, either in bronze, marble
or on canvass.
The Congressional Library.
One might write columns and COL
umns describing the Congressional Lii
brary. There are pen drawings Of all
the presidents there, drawings Of other
noted statesmen and other men who
have had much to do with the making
of America, mosaics of all descriptions,
statuary everywhere. The reading
room is a round room and there are
books books, books! These are diyid-
ed into sections such as law, science,
history, poetry. theology. etc. There is
big cafe and cafeteria on the top
floor of the building. we had our lunch
in the cafeteria. wouldn't want to
eat there three times every day for a
year.
House of Representatives.
Then over to the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes where we met Congressman
Stevenson and Congressman McSwain.
They carried us over to the senate and
there Congressman Stevenson pointed
out numerous senator's to US. BY the
way, noticed that the senate was very
much like a well regulated Sunday
school as compared with the house,
Everything was so quiet and dignified
there. But maybe that is not fair and
that the house Is ordinarily the same
way. When we went to the house the
representatives were voting On the tar
III bill and there was quite a hot time
Of it.
Mr.. Stevenson, after voting on the
bill, bundled us into his automobile ano
carried US on q sightseeing trip OF
Washington. We went to the Smith
sonian Institute. There we saw more
pictures and carved work and num-
Der of old printing presses which, while
not at all modern, made me feel quite
at home.
There were many other interesting
places visited. The most beautiful
flowers I had ever seen in my life saw
on the grounds Of the Agricultural De-
partment. A most imposing structure
is the Lincoln Memorial, which cos
