APPROVES
PLANS FOR SUMMER

The faculty held it's regular meeting
last Tuesday afternoon at four thirty
o'clock. A report of the special COM
mittee appointed to make arrange
ments for the summer quarter OF
twelve weeks was read and adopted:
The recitations for that quarter will
begin at 7:45 a. m. Six will be held
before noon and two in the afternoon.
The copy for the summer school quar-
ter bulletin will be in the hands OF
the committee by tonight and it is
expected that the booklet will be ready
for distribution by April l. A subject
running through the twelve weeks and
reciting once daily will be known as
a major and commands one credit. A
one-half major is twelve weeks sub
ject giving one-half credit. A double
minor will be subject in which reel
tations are to be held twice each day
and EQUALS one credit. Such course
can be covered in six weeks. A minor
is to be a course studied for six weeks
with one recitation each day and will
have a credit value of one-half. The
summer quarter will be divided into
terms of six weeks each. Some courses
having the same nomenclature Will be
given both as major and as a double
minor. Other combinations will be ar
ranged for so that prospective stu
dents may have large list OF courses
to select their work from. All courses
offered will be on a credit basis and

alton from the institution.

The Valley City board of health
met Saturday with several COW own
ers of the city and near vicinity: The
meeting was called to order by Pres.
O. A. Laughlin of the board of health.
The purpose of the meeting was to
make it plain to cow owners furnish
ing milk to consumers of Valley City
that they must have their cattle test
ed. and secure certificate, which
must be presented to the City Auditor,
and a license fee of 81 must be paid.
Violation of these rules carries flne.
About 200 cows, which milk IS
being used by consumers in the city
have been tested, but it is the aim OF
the board to have all cows tested that
furnish milk for the public's use. Inc
federal government will be asked TO
make these tests. The certificates OF
health that will be obtained If the
tests prove the herd to be in healthy
condition, must be secured by all COW
owners vending milk or cream in the
city, and the board of health intends
to carry out the law to the letter. Also
all stations that sell milk or cream
must furnish separate license which
may be secured from the city auditor:
before they can sell the products OF
any Of the COW owners. The board
of health has granted time until April
5 to secure these licenses and nave
the tests made. Such action on the
part of the board of health insures
pure cream and milk to Valley City
consumers.

is the matter of a potato warehouse.
We are told that it is practically set

we don't think it was. Anyway this
fellow bought his wife a nice, new
automobile, and soon she got to be
quite driver and invited her hus-
band to take trip with her into the
country. They came to hill some
what steep and the car and the occu-
pants breathed hard as they slowly
