The -Four Basal Headers
Some question has been raised
about h wisdom Of offering four
readers as n basal set OF books In
stead OF one basal set. There II
nothing unusual about such an adop-
ton. II gives tho board OF cduca-
ton some room for choice and yet
protects uniformity. You do not
want too much Standardization In
school administration. County school
superintcndents and city school SUI
pcrintendcnts had complained TO the
state board OF education In the past
that the readers adopted for rural
schools were not the ones best suited
for city schools and vice versa,
Therefore al the recommendation Of
a number Of the city and county SUI
porintendcnts the -four sets OF read
ers were placed on tho basal list
with the recommendation that any
one OF the four sets OF readers could
be used as basal after which Others
in the basal list or in the supplement
tary list might be used. Here was
an earnest effort on the part OF the
state board Of education to ave
money In that two sets Of h readers
placed on the basal list out OF the four
were sets OF o very generally
distributed over the state OF New Mex
leo and were satisfactory having been
In use the past six years. h board
Of education felt that unless there
was a very good reason on the part
OF municipal and county boards OF
education making n change Il would
be the part OF economy for them to
designate as basal one SGT OF the
books already In use.

GERMANY ACTS TO
PREVENT REVOLT
MEETINGS AND PARADES LIKE
LYTO SPUR SEDITION BAR
RED BY PRESIDENT
SITUATION VERY CRITICAL
CONDITIONS THREATEN TO UN'
DERMINE FOUNDATION OF
STATE AND EMPIRE

Berlin-After meeting of the Ger
man cabinet, President Ebert issued a
decree prohibiting meetings, process
isons, demonstrations and the publ
cation of periodicals and pamphlets
likely to encourage seditious move
ments.
The government has proclaimed its
intention to suppress with an iron
: hand and unrelenting severity all in.
surrections or attempts to subvert
public order.
Alarming Situation Admitted.
The proclamation admits that the
government has become gravely CON
cerned, owing to the disintegration OF
public morals in Germany, which fact
it declares, threatens to undermine
the foundations of the state and en-
pre-"
"In time when the nations vital
ity should be devoted to repairing the
moral, social and economic injuries
inflicted by war;" the proclamation
says, "unbridled agitation is attempt.
ing openly to undermine the political
and constitutional foundations on
which the new German republic is to
be erected.
"The tenor of the press which is
furthering these malicious endeavors
daily is becoming more plain spoken
and reveals fixed plan by unscru
pulous elements, who are aiding in the
overthrow of constitutional law and
order. National emergencies demand
that there Vaccinations of unscru
pulous and misguided elements be Op
posed with an iron hand.
"The government, therefore, is de-
termined to undertake that which the
circumstances of the hour and the pro-
vocation of the foes Of the constitu.
ton make imperative. The govern
ment will proceed with unrelentless
severity against any and every insur-
rection and it calls on all organs of
law and order to carry out the pro-
visions of this decree firmly but i'm
partially"
Unions Offer Services.
German organized labor, comprising
100000 members belonging to gen
eral and Independent declarations, in
formed Chancellor Wirth that it was
ready to go to the front" in defense
of the republic.
The Majority and Independent So.
cialists also sent a deputation to the
chancellor, informing him that both
parties demand that the government
proceed without fear or favor against
the elements responsible for the anti
Republican demonstrations and mach.
nations "to which the assassination
of Herr Erzberger is attributable"
This deputation demanded. in be-
half of the radical parties, fundamen.
tai reform in the civil service and judi
ciary con account of public suspicion
especially of the latter's conduct OF
cases involving the defense Of demo
cratic principles"
The decree issued, by President
Ebert, = prohibiting all acts likely to
encourage seditious movements is to
be sent to the ministry of interior
with instructions that it be made eft.
fective at once.

One of the advertised headline at
fractions was boxing bout between
AL. Norton, weight 116, and Harry
Coleman, 1874. The Herald editor
did not witness this bout, but good
Judges were disappointed at the show
ing made by both boxers. 1t is to be
hoped the contest this Thursday after
moon between Billy Woodley and
Frank Petri will be worth while.
The free acts seemed to please. 1t
was impossible for the Keoto Japs to
make train connections to reach Sank
Centre in time for Wednesdays fair
but they will be there the last two
days. Their offering is said to be
exceptionally high class.
Today's racing program includes
the 2:15 pace and the 2:30 pace.
Friday should be the big day of the
fair. St. Cloud expects to send up
200 autos headed by their band and
Elk's Quartette. J. R. Howard, ma
tional president of the Federated
Farm Bureaus of America will speak
before the Grand Stand Friday after
noon and the ball game between Bel
grade and Richmond for the champ
ionship of Stearns county will attract
large delegations from that section OF
the county.
President Harrison, Secretary Gil
lig and the Fair Board have labored
hard to give Stearns county worth
while fair. At the annual meeting
last November the citizens of Sank
Centre promised to- stand back of
them and put the 1921 fair across.
Most of the business houses are clos
ing every afternoon of the fair and
it is up to every citizen to boost to
the end.

The opening day of the 10Th an
nual Stearns County Fair at Sank
Centre yesterday afternoon augers
we'll for a successful fair.
The exhibits in every department
are exceedingly good. This is es-
pecially true in the Womens' De-
ptrtment and in the Educational
building. Mrs. l.. J. Irish, superin-
tendent of the Woman's building has
worked untiringly and the results she
achieved are most gratifying. The
exhibit in everything save hand paint
ed china is more varied than for many
years. The Culinary Arts have a
splendid display and the new Thrift
department is practical demonstra-
ton of what can be done in the max
ing over of old clothing.
Miss Chelgren states that the ed
vocational department, particularly in
the grades far excels anything in
the history of the fair. The display
is Hastily arranged and presents q
most attractive appearance.
The cattle barns, particularly the
dairy breeds have an unusual show,
ing of pure breds. Competition is
keen in all breeds.
The Swine department hasn't quite
is many individuals as in former
years, but the quality is there. The
same can be said of the Poultry De,
partment.
Up until one o'clock Wednesday the
crowd was disappointing but the PEG,
pie began to pour into the gates soor
after and when the racing program
started there was very satisfactory
first day gathering. Good weather
the remaining two days should make
it possible for the Association tc
break even this year. However, tc
accomplish this result you must dc

TWIN STATE COMPLETING
RIG IN SECTION 6, 5S-3W

Twin state Oil Company is complet-

is southwest of the Healdton field and
is southeast of the town of Ringing
and is in Carter county near the JEFF
ferson county line. The Twin State
