MORRIS BARKER HAD NARROW
ESCAPE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
CHANGING BULLET MISSED VITAL
SPOT BY FRACTION OF INCH

While hunting gophers Sunday
afternoon, Morris, the 16 year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Barker
was accidently shot and narrowly
escaped death.
The young and a boy friend were
out with their % caliber rifles. The
friend was a short distance away and
the bullet from his gun struck a
stone in such manner that it
glanced and hit Morris in the left
breast, slightly below the heart.
Assistance was secured Immediate
ly and the injured boy brought to
town. DR.. Samms examined him and
recommended that he be taken to a
hospital at once, as an operation
would probably be necessary to locate
and remove the bullet. He was TAX
en- to Fargo that evening and latest
reports from there state that he is
resting nicely.

PLAN WHAT YOU WILL CAN
BEFORE YOU PLANT AGARDE,

Radishes and lettuce usually pre-
dominate in the beginners garden,
probably because they come up early
and give the gardener indisputable
proof of his industry. Crisp young
radishes and lettuce are best eaten
fresh from the garden; whereas the
succulant string bean, the prolific
tomato, the iron-rich spinach, to say
nothing of carrots, Swiss chard, beets
peas, corn, asparagus, or okra will
delight the palate and enrich the diet
many months after they mature in
the garden, ii properly put up in cans
or jars and stored in the pantry, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
1t is not enough to enjoy these
vegetables when they are fresh. From
October to June the storage cellar
and the corner grocery are likely to
yield only potatoes, turnips, old car
rots, cabbage. and onions, and the
use OF these vegetables, is likely to
prove monotonous without occasion
al reminders of the summer garden,
1t may take little more time to
plant and cultivate two rows of beans
| or two dozen tomato plants instead
OF one, but if it furnishes these vege-
tables for winter as we'll as summer
use, it is worth the while.
The amount of each kind of vege-
table to be canned depends on the
preference of the household, and the
garden must be planned accordingly.
A family of five-mother, father, and
.hree children-or four adults-may
we'll use 20 pounds a week of fruits
and vegetables weighted fresh or un-
cooked. This would be the equival-
ent of such a com mbination as 8 pound
canned, 3pounds dried, and a. pound
of fresh material. OF this allowance,
half, or IS pounds a week, may well
;onsist of fresh or canned vegetables
Four pounds, or quarts, of canned
vegetables are considered minimum
weekly allowance for the winter
months.-U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.

CITY SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. Pearson and the Pedagogy
Glass gave Silent Reading Test in
the grades last week. The results
are being awaited with interest by
the various grades concerned.
Last Monday was exhibit day in
the entire school. Each teacher had
on display in her room some of the
work done in the various subjects
during the year. A great many par
ents and patrons of the school visit
ed the school on Monday and had an
opportunity to see some of the work
their children were doing. The best
exhibits will be chosen and sent to
the County Fair at Finley on July
and 4th. Exhibits are chosen from
the County Fair Exhibit of the vari-
GUS schools and sent to the State
Fair. We believe that an exhibit
day once a year arouses the inter-
est of the children in their work ana
more care will be taken in the writ
ing of themes ETC., If the students
are given to know that they are
working for definite thing.
The Art Exhibit sent out by the
University was on display in the
High School Auditorium. The pic.
lures were good and an idea of the
work accomplished in some of the
Art Courses at the University wak
gained. In the evening of May 1st,
the Art slides were shown in the
High School Auditorium. There
were two sets of Slides One Get
gave an idea of Greek Art and Sou p
ture. The other set was based upon
scenes from the life of Christ as
imagined and reproduced by some
of the very great Artists of the
World. These pictures were coi"red
and were very beautiful.
Practically the entire school is
working for the various events of
Play Day. A Folk Dance is being
prepared by the children of the first,
second and third grades. May
pole Drill is being worked out by
the Fourth and Fifth grades. The
Junior High School is working very
hard for the track events and otato

FIRE DESTROYED
SCAULDT'S BARN
FLAMES TANNED BY STRONG
WIND THREATEN RESIDENCE
SATURDAY MORNING

E. j. Schuldt, who resides ON his
farm four miles east of Hope suffered
"a heavy loss Saturday morning
when his barn was destroyed by fire.
The fire started in an old building
which was used for a pig house and
famed by heavy south wind rapid
ly spread to the barn and chicken
coop. When it was discovered it had
made such headway that nothing
could be done to check it. Mr..
Schuldt was in the field when he saw
the flames and by riding one of his
horses managed to get to the place in
time to take team of horses out of
the barn and haul the manure sprea-
der out of danger.
Calls for assistance were sent to
neighbors and to Hope and in few
minutes quite a number were on hand
1t required lot of hard work on the
part of this volunteer bucket brigade
to save the residence which was di-
rectly in line with the flying embers
from the burning barn. The resi-
dence gaght fire in three places but
was not greatly damaged.
The loss, besides the barn which
was built less than three years ago,
includes five pigs and their mother,
two calves, sixty chickens, 600 bu. OF
feed and Is tons Of hay, totaling
about 100000. Insurance carried on
the PROPERTY destroyed will amount to
about 1890.
How the fire started will never be
known. No one had been near th )
pig house since morning and 1t was
about IL o'clock when the flames
broke out.
Mr.. schuldt and family have asked
the Pioneer to extend their thanks to
those who responded to the call for
assistance and worked so faithfully
to save their home from burning.

BIRD LOVERS ASKED TO AID
IN BIRD COUNT THIS SPRING

The bird-counting work of the Bio
logical Survey of the United States
department of Agriculture, which
was seriously decreased during the
period of the war, is now being taken
up more energetically, with the aid
of many voluntary observers. Any
interested persons who are familiar
with the birds of their respective
localities can contribute data in con-
nection with this survey, which will
extend over number of years. The
information which this study will fur
nish concerns not only the total bird
population of the United States but
also its fluctuations from year to
year, and the effect of the present
State and Federal laws on the in
crease Of game and insectivorous
birds.
Instructions for properly making a
bird count will be sent, with report
blanks, to anyone, upon application,
to the Bureau of Biological Survey.
Officials hope, that counts will be con.
tlnued on all lands where they have
been previously made. It is especi.
ally desired to obtain series of counts
indicating bird life on the Plains. the
deserts, and in the Southern and
Western States.
The height of the breeding season
should be chosen for this work. In
the latitude of Washington, D. c.,
this comes about May 80. Near Bos-
ton 1t is about week later, and south
of Washington it is earlier. In any
locality the count should be made as
soon as the birds are we'll settled
on their nesting grounds, but not
until after the end of the migration
season. What is wanted is to learn
now many pairs of birds actually nest
within the selected areas. Birds that
visit the area only for feeding pur-
poses must not be counted. The best
time to make the count is, early in
the morning when male birds are
usually in full song, and each may
safely be taken to represent a breed
ing pair. A 40 to 80 acre tract
should be selected, representing aver.
age farm conditions without an un-
due amount of woodland or orchard
Information is desired in detail as to
the character of the land surveyed.
The bureau hopes that many per-
sons interested in bird life will make
one or more counts this season.-U.
S. Department of Agriculture.

THE CHILD LEADERS
EACH CHILD HAS LEADERSHIP POSSIBILITIES
BY w. A. McKeeyer-

this resident force in the indi-
vidual child should have a parent
or friend to discover 1t and ar
range for II to assert itself.
Too often the child which we
regard as a natural leader" is a
brazen, overbesring type which
very much needs curbing and
directing. This young boss among
tn" children is likely to develop
int the selfish political boss
among the adult society OF the
future. Do not suppress wholly
your aggressive, political ruler
type Of child. Merely teach him
70 use his leadership talent un.
selfishly.
Talk the matter over frequently
with your reticent child. Explain
to him the meaning OF his domi-
nant talent. Urge that he has
both a right and a duty to assume
the place Of leadership In situa-
tions where he Ia easily the most
apt or skilled Of the group.
What we wish to avoid among
our children 10 the domineering
type Of leader who grabs every.
thing, while much OF the time We
may bring forward by turns all
those ripe and talented for leader
ship In respect to certain definite
activities.
