ANTLER SCHOOL NOTES

+, Wanted: A new assembly room,
large enough to accommodate our
growing high school. Ordina Peter
sons recent entrance raised our en-
rollment to forty. 4
Janitor Engstrom wore a puzzled
and perplexed frown last Wednesday,
for no amount of coaxing would in
duce his friend the school bell to send
out it's welcome summons as of old.
Investigation showed that Halloween
brownies had spirited away the clap
per. However high noon saw speech
restored to our iron herald.
The senior class, consisting of six-
teen members, met in the assembly
loom, on Thursday afternoon and or
ganized. The following officers were
elected: Robert Walker, president;
Syvilla Hensel, vice president;
Blanche McGraw, secretary-treasurer
Clark Cranston, yell master. With
such able leaders we expect our SEN
iors to have a very successful year.
The Presbyterian Sunday School
gave party fort school children

r. B. TESTING AND GULL =
ING INCREASE PROFITS

That the farm women of Golden
Valley county are determined
to get more money from their poul-
try and eggs is shown by the fact that
the six Home Makers clubs Of the
county have adopted poultry culling
and testing of poultry for tuberculo-
sis for their October program. These
clubs, which have membership Of
more than one hundred farm women,
were organized by County Agent J.
G. Russell in cooperation with the
home demonstration department at
the A. C.
Meetings have been held at Senti-
mel Butte, Alpha, Mosher and Thelan
where County Agent Russell made
post mortem examinations Of chick
ems that did not appear to be doing
well and showed that their Hvers or
intestines, lungs or spleen were COW
cred with grayish yellow spots, indi-
eating that they were suffering from
tuberculosis. As result, number Of
flocks are now being tested so that
the tubercular chickens can be cleaned
out before the disease spreads in the
flock. - r.. -. N@'
Poultry culling demonstrations have
been held fer all six of the Home Max
ers Clubs, and at .. number of other
points in the county. At some Of the
meetings Mr.. Russell showed a real
of moving pictures illustrating the
methods of culling, ard at others he
went over farm flocks and culled out
the poor layers. On the average, about
one-third of the hens in the flock have
been culled out as poor layers, and in
every case where they were kept sep-
arate from the balance: of the flock,
it was found that they did not lay
enough eggs to pay for their keep.

ity. Some men develop research abil-
ity with little study and others never
seem to develop any such ability even
with the acquiring Of many degrees.
Research ability signifies the ca
pacity for attacking the problems of
life as they come along, with meth
cd suitable for their solution. Research
requires very careful analysis. first,
of the problem, and then laborious
and painstaking investigation in OF
der that the real solution of the prob
lem may result. -.,..
Some men carry on research for
their own personal glory only, and
some of these men contribute some
splendid and useful information, while
other men have the needs of human
ity at heart to direct them in their
work.
Emil Fischer at the time he received
his degree of Ph. D. declared that his
ambition in life was to synthesize a
sugar and a protein, neither of which
had ever been produced artifically.
Fischer at the age Of forty-five had
his ife's work finished. His two prob
lens Of research were undertaken for
personal glory only.
Pasteur had just as splendid educa-
tional foundation as did Fischer, but
when he took up research problems
it was always for the people Of
Francef Pasteur in his solution of the
problems of the turning of wine to
vinegar, the silk worm disease, hydro
phobia ,and many other problems, not
only helped humanity, but discovered
so doing became the father of Bacter-
biological Chemistry.
The methods of attack and the re,
suits of every great research prob
lem are published in the literature o.
the particular field and as such helps
to furnish us with the tools to under.
take our problems as they come
along.
We cannot all turn out work o1
such inestimable value to humanity
as has Pasteur, Cyril Hopkins, Isaac
Watts, Thomas Edison and thousands
of others, but we car each get the
very best educational foundation In
our own field, and if we are called
upon to undertake problem whether
it be science, medicine, the studio
or the kitchen, we will be able to dem.
onstrate the purpose Of education.

A. E. F. SCOUT SWALLOWS PIN

An unusual case has just been ad-
Indicated by the u. S. Veterans
Bureau, Minneapolis, MINI.
Ceril J. Ellis, st. Paul, Minnesota,
and formerly of the 86th Division,
while on Reconnaissance duty, making
maps in France, was thrown to the
ground ard covered with debris by the
concussion of an enemy shell explod-
ing nearby. Fortunately, he escaped
being injured by the flying fragments
but the jar had caused him to swal-
low one of the pins which he was in
the habit Of carrying in his mouth
for use in connection with his map
work. AS there was no subsequent
definite pain, the incident was forgot
ten.
Three years had passed since Mr..
Ellis was discharged from the service
when he was obliged to undergo an
operation for what was thought to be
an abscess of the stomach. The sur
geon located and removed the seat
of the whole trouble-a rusty pin. A
second operation was necessitated lat
er by adhesions formed from the first
operation.
Until after the operation Mr.. Ellis
had no reason to believe that the alb
scess was the result of the swallow.
ing of the pin. However recalling the
the incident during his service Mr.
Ellis visited the St Paul office of the
Veterans Bureau and was inter.
viwed by the Cooperation Section. He
was advised of the possibilities Of a
claim and the evidence necessary to
establish the fact Of swallowing a
pin while engaged in active necessary
service. He secured affidavits from
his former buddies and he was given
entire reimbursement for expenses
incurred by the operation. He is now
receiving compensation for the pres.
eht disability Of adhesions, caused by
the second operation.

WHEAT GROWERS PLAN
i. "a GIGANTIC COMBINE

the North Dakota Wheat Growers
Association. 2lz,S :s' &.....st''y. =.
At the present time the Wheat
Growers associations are operating as
state units, some of which have their
own selling agency, and others like
the Northwest Wheat Growers asso-
ciated have one selling organisation
serving state units. This plan has
worked admirably in the pioneer
stages of wheat pooling, as it has
given the state organizations oppor-
tur.ity to learn the game from 9 small
beginning, and has resulted ~ z
gradual but healthy growth.
However cooperative wheat market
ing has grown to such proportions
during the past year, that many are
impressed with the necessity Of more
co-ordination between state units BY
adopting 4 uniform policy Of selling
This il one of the principal matters to
be brought up at this meeting, accord
ing to Mr.. Jewett's communication.
