WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN
SCHOOL THIS YEAR

Our school began in July. On ac-
count of unorganized conditions not
very much was done for improvement
during the first few months because
it took that time to get the children
properly graded.
The first thing was a pie social,
proceeds used for our new set Of
library books.
We have our Friday afternoon
spelling. BIS, and programs every
Friday. Our Halloween entertain
ment was a great success.
Next was a box supper, proceeds
used for shades for the windows and
a Christmas tree for us children.
Our community play and The Ne
gro Mock Trial, which everyone
seemed to enjoy, brought about a
better community spirit in the dis
trict-the getting together was good
for us.
One of the biggest things we die
was the organization of an Agricul
tural Club. We have eleven wide
awake members. We are going t,
try to show what can be done. We
believe in our club and are goine
to do our work with joy and pleasure
We believe that the club helps us
as we'll as our helping the club. Our
s,hool and club are progressing, and
we hope to have many more things
in the future for the benefit of bur
community.
Are we content? Wait and see.

In a graded school the children are
properly graded and classed.
We want a graded school for the
betterment Of our community, and to
bring better teachers into our COM
munity.
We want a graded school so we
can finish our education at home
so we can help with the home work
before and after school hours.
We can afford to pay small taxes in
order to get a graded school great
deal better than we can afford to pay
our board to go to school away from
home. What we would pay for board
would more than pay the taxes.
We want a graded school so each
teacher can give more attention to
each class. Where one teacher has to
teach seven or eight. different grades
she cannot give the attention needed
to each class.
We want graded school so we
children can take up other needed
work-such as drawing, domestic
science, agriculture and many other
different things.
We want graded school because
we know that il will be the means
Of getting our community together
oftener. As it is now, we can't seat
all the students in our little school
house.
Let's work for IL as Club and as
a community. II may be long time,
but IL we don't work, we won't get

REPORT OF STANDARDS OF
HEALTH FOR CHILDREN


Long ago we cured disease. Now
we are trying to prevent 1t. When
we are willing to work as hard to
prevent disease as we have been u
cure il, we will Blot out many dis
eases that are killing hundreds OF
our people.
A great number Of our people are
thin. Many Of our children are thin
and very much underweight for their
height. When child is thin, It
should be studied and steps taken to
help IL to gain in weight. A child
should not be thin because one Of its
great aunts was thin. When chill
dren are thin, people never think
much about the matter. They say,
Oh. Il runs in the family to be thin
or the child just happened to be that
way. and IL can't be helped. In many
cases this is untrue, and u can be
helped. When n child Is thin, there
Is reason, and we must find the
cause and remove IL.
A child must have balanced ra'
ton. II some nutrient is lacking IN
their diet, IL should be supplied. II
II is not supplied, the body cannot
develop properly. A child should be
taught to eat all kinds Of food. II

To be strong and gain as child

II a child stays strong, healthy

a child's intake is smaller than its

must have extra income TO build new

The child goes TO high school ut

need to take special care not to over
do their strength at that time. Very
often high school children neglect

prominence Of shoulder blades.
Some defects that keep children
underweight are: mouth breathing.
infection Of any part Of head or
throat, eye strain, bad teeth, and

Children that have these symptoms

FARMERS WIN AGAIN IN
RAIL RATE FIGHT
Roads Defeated in Attempt tn
Block Rellacti pn Of Hay And
Grain Freight Charges.

Organized farmers won another
victory in their fight for lower
freight rates on agricultural
products, when the Interstate
Commerce Commission refused
to reopen hearings on grain and
hay tariffs. according to farm
bureau officials.
The Railroads. after offering
to reduce rates on all farm pro-
ducts ten per cent for SIX
months, objected to the commits
sion's previous order, which
directed the roads to cut rates
on wheat, hay and coarse grain
by Dec. q.
The commission has re-affirm.
ed it's order, and only an appeal
to courts, it is said. can prevent
enforcement of the rate reduc'
lions. The order directs that
rates on wheat and hay be cut
half as much as they were IN
creased in August, 1921, and that
rates on coarse grain be set II
per cent lower than the new
rates on wheat. In the north
west it is estimated that this re
duction amounts to approximate
ly III per cent.

Many people do not know the
proper way to proceed to secure
wolf bounty. Some think it is
necessary to go to Pine City and
that the Auditor will write the

He will not. The first thing to
do is to take the carcass Of the
animal to the town clerk in the
town where it was caught, and
in the presence of two witnesses
he will make out the necessary
papers. Fee IS cts. These
