A REGULAR PRAYER

Lord, let me live like regular man,
With Regular friends and true;
Let me play the game on Regular
plan
And play that way all through; !;
Let me win or lose with Regular
smile
And never be known to whine, .
For that is Regular Fellows"
style
And / want to make it mine!
Oh, give me a regular chance in life,
The same as the rest, I pray,
And give me a regular girl for wife
To help me along the way;
Let us know the lot OF humanity,
Regular woes and joys,
AMI raise a Regular family
or Regular girls and boys!
Let. me live to Regular good old
age,
With Regular snow-white hair,
Having done my labor and earned
my wage,
And play the game for fair;
And SO at last when the peaple scan,
My face on its peaceful bier.
They'll say We'll, he was q Reg

And drop Regular tear!

RELAY RACE APRIL 20

The second annual cross country
relay race between Bowbells and
Flaxton is scheduled for Saturday,
April 29th, and boys from all the
schools IN Burke county have start
ed training for the event. Ken
mare ard Donnybrook have been
inpited to join in the race this year,
and it is expected that the invita-
ton will be accepted. The addi-
ton of two more teams will make
the competition much keener than
it was last year, and will assure
one of the best track events Of the
entire year. ..r
This year the route will be over
the new North Star Trail, the run
starting at Flaxton, however, and
the finish being in Bowbells. Thir-
teen boys will be chosen to repre-
sent each school, seven from high
school and six from the grades. The
official tryout, from which the team
will be selected to represent Bow
bells will be held next Tuesday af-
ternoon at 4:30 on the mile stretch
just north Of the Great Northern.
Anyone is welcome to come out and
see the boys work for places.

LIE SUEUR AND BRINTON
WE'LL PAID FOR FRUIT
LESS INVESTIGATIONS

The Nestos administration has
paid total of $2,148.S9 to date
to Arthur LeSueur, st. Paul So
cialist attorney, for services he
claims to have performed and ex-
penses incurred in the prosecution
of so-called Scandinavian American
bank cases.
The Nestos administrator has
also paid $1,189.46 to the VIM. J..
Burns International Detective ugen-
cy for services vlaimed to have been
performed in special Investigations
presumably in the scandinavian
American bank cases.
The sums paid to LeSueur have
been charged up to the state indus
trial commission instead Of the at
torney generals Office, altho it is
claimed LeSueur was engaged in
preparing evidence in criminal cases
Included in LeSueur-s bills are
items purportin~ to show that ]. w.
Brinton had been paid large sums
of money for services it is claimed
he has performed IN these same
cases.

who refused to take the sratemen.

The women held public meetings.
They organized torchlight parades.
The result was that, one by one, the

went into Office by to l vote.

The immediate future looks

Ward is the most resentful OF all
of the male citizens. He can not
see any reason why town affairs
should be steered by women. He
always has believed. he says, that a

AS general proposition, the men
are holding their breath WAITING
for something to happen. They are
watching their step and making nc
plans. They admit wondering what
they will do when the women Off
cials will tell them how fast they
can drive their automobiles; what
they are to do with themselves on
Sunday; how late IN the evening
they can play pool, and all other
such matters of supreme importance
to the male of the species.
And already the men are plan

1924. They intend perfecting an
organization to put the women back
where they came from. In the
meantime, it would not be wise for
any one to come to Des Lacs and
say that suffrage isn't getting on

SCHOOL BUDGET
NOT SETTLED YET
ANOTHER SCHOOL MEETING is
HELD TO THRESH OUT
QUESTION.

Another meeting-this time Of
the Parents-Teachers Association
was held at the High school audi
torium Monday evening to talk over
school matters, the meeting having
been called by Supt. Polk for the
purpose of submitting a budget plan
for the ensuing year.
Opportunity was also taken by
the president of the Parent-Teachers
Association, H. A. Hanson, to cor
rect what he stated to be misap-
prehension as to the law relative to
the purposes for which the levy for
the ensuing year may be used. A
number of the patrons of the school
were of the opinion that money de-
rived from taxes next year would
have to be used in paying outstand-
ing warrants. If this were the law
1t would of necessity mean that there
would be no money on hand with
which to pay teachers and other
current expenses or the school.
Numerous legal opinions were read
by Mr.. Hanson showing it to be
the consensus of opinion Of promin-
ent lawyers that persons holding
warrants drawn for preceding years
can be paid only out of the taxes
collected during the period Of years
for which the warrants were issued.
To illustrate, if at the meeting of
the school board in July levy is
made by the school board for the
purpose of, conducting the schools
for the ensuing year, say from July
/, 1920 to July /, 1921, all war
rants drawn during that period for
the specific purposes for which the
levy were made should be paid out
of the taxes collected during that
period.
This would enable the schools to
use all of the tax money levied for
school purposes and no part of it
standing warrants. AS means OF
retiring outstanding warrants il
was proposed that levy be made
each year for the purpose of retir-
| ing certain amount of the war
rants each year and that the levy
made for running expenses be re-
duced in>the amount set aside for
the purposes of retiring outstanding
warrants. This plan would, by
strict economy. permit the schools
to operate without loss OF efficiency
and at the same time gradually pay
its outstanding warrants.
| Mr.. Polk presented a proposed
budget for the ensuing year which
was discussed by the patrons pres
ent but no definite action was TAX
| en- in the matter. This proposed
| budget will, OF course, be studied
| by the school board between now
and the time for making the annual
tax levy.
It is certain that the patrons OF
the school district are whole
| heartedly in favor OF a plan Of
strict economy based upon willing
| ness to curtail expenses where pos
sible. 1t has also been pofnted
out that a thorough policy OF econ
| omy would go long way towards
establishing the credit Of the school
district and making its warrants
desirable investments.

MAY WHEAT UP 9c
ON CHICAGO BOARD
HE'LL BREAKS LOOSE WITH JUL
IUS BARNES, "$1 PATRIOT
IN SCRAMBLE

With shorts" struggling desper..
ately to cCver contracts, a specta-
cular rise in May wheat last Satur-
day precipitated one OF the widest
scrambles seen on the Board of
Trade since the days of the war
markets.
The furry, which sent May wheat
up 8 " to 9 cents, resulted, accord
ing to reports, from titanic strug-
gle for the control Of millions of
bushels Of the grain. Among
those mentioned as taking part in
this contest were James A. Patten,
Arthur Cutten, julius Barnes, two
Winnipeg men, and the Armour
Grain Co.
Other reports, however, attribut-
ed the sharp advance in price to a
New York exporter and foreign buy
ing.
The market opened dull and
without any premonition Of the
storm which was soon to rock the
pit to it's foundations. It became
