1895 Volumes at
c.. H. S. Library

The Alice NJ. Richard Memorial
Library was opened for the use of
the pupils of Gardiner High School
in January, 1923. At this time there
were approximately 400 volumes.
The number has now increased to
103.. For the remainder of the
school year the pupils had the use
of the library three times a week for
one hour and half after the school
session. From the beginning of the
present school year the library has
been open to them three periods of
every day as well as half hour af-
ter school. During these three per-
iods of the school session there has
been an attendance of 5153 pupils.
This gives some idea of the amount
of reference work done by the pupils
of our high school. In addition to
this work 1882 books have been
checked out to be used for home
reading.
The magazine department has been
the weakest department of the IL
brary. To remedy this, at the sug-
gestion of one of the teachers, a day
was appointed early in April when
each pupil who wished was to bring
as many pennies as he was years old
to establish a magazine fund. The
response brought s4s.36. We hope
to make this an annual custom. This
will give a strong magazine depart
ment.
Pupils are allowed to keep a hook
out one week. If neither returned
nor renewed at the end of the week.
fine Of one cent day is charged for
rental. These fines have amounted to
$28.66. This money is used for diff
ferent things needed for the upkeep
Of the library, such IS repairing and
reminding books, shelf and books,
labels. book supporters, etc.
Both faculty and pupils wish to
take this opportunity to thank all
citizens who, by their interest and
generosity, have made possible such
valuable adjunct to the school
work.

DANGEROUS WEEDS
MUST BE CHECKED
FAN WEED, sow THISTLE, WILD
OATS AND BUCKWHEAT
THE WORST.

There T a number of noxious
weeds that are getting a fOothold in
Roosevelt county that unless checked
or eliminated by organized commun-
ity campaigns will cause farmer.
and other property owners a great
deal of loss and labor a few years
hence.
The famous fan weed, sometimes
called the French weed has already
established a foothold in the Lam
ark community andn aturally has
started spreading in all directions.
Wild oats, which has been a bad one
to control in the east end of the
county for a number of years is not
improved a great deal except on farms
where a carefully balanced tillage
campaign with a rotation is prac-
ticed and then it is found useless
almost for n farmer to control
wild oats when adjoining farms are
doing nothing towards their control
and continually keep planting them
with seed.
Most wheat fields on the reserva-
ton are infested with wild buck
wheat, which although not very SER
lous, necessitates a proper tillage
program in order to get rid of it and
if not eradicated is a big soil robber
and means a decreasing yield.
Sow Thistle.
The perennial sow thistle has also
gained a foothold in several places
IN the county. This weed, due to the
fact that it is of the four year type
IS very hard to eradicate and con-
troll. 1t is also sometimes known
as the creeping sow thistle or milk
1t grows from two to four
feet high in dense clumps or patches.
The leaves are more or less toothed
and often look sharp and spiny, but
they are rather soft as compared
with other thistles. The flower re-
sembles those of a dandelion both in
shape and color and are about one
half inch in diameter. The peren-
NAL has a strong root system and
many short root stalks that run deep
below the surface of the ground and
send up new stems freely. From the
experience of eastern communities
have been infested with this
weed it behOoves every farmer in
county to become acquainted
With it and if it makes an appear
lnce on a farm steps should imme-
be taken to eradicate it.
Only a few of the worst weeds
hat We have showing up in small
lumbers have been mentioned and
f watched and controlled in the early
tages it will not be necessary in
he future to render some land val. !

ions.

RECORD BEATEN IN
RACE FROM ORIENT
NEW MARK IN TRANSPORTA-
TON FROM COAST TO COAST
BY GREAT NORTHERN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. %
Uncle Sam recently scored a big vic
tory in one of the most dramatic
races ever staged by trade-the raw
silk transport race. The Great
Northern railway became a big fac
tor in establishing this worlds rec
ord, hauling a special cargo of silk
over its line 1,784 miles from Seat
tie to st. Paul in the swift time Of
80 hours, so minutes. This was an
average speed of 45.9 miles per hour,
faster than the fastest of any of the
crack passenger trains of the coun-
try.
The entire course of this race was
$500 miles. Swiftest steamships,
special trains, seaplanes and air.
planes participated. But there was
no cheering crowd because every
mile of the race had to be concealed
with the closest secrecy. The stakes
amounted to millions. There is a
reason why silk is rushed from Yo-
kohama to New York at ~breakneck
speed, understanding the best pes
senger service. With the exception
of gold and silver bullion, silk prob
ably is the most precious commodity,
weight for weight, transported IN
a large scale by commerce.. A sin
gle special train handles five million
dollers' worth of silk. Just as it
costs dearly to ship money, high
charges are put on silk shipments.
The saving of two days sailing time
between Yokohama and Seattle
makes a difference of fifty cents a
)ale at New York. Interest on the
Millions of dollars tied up multiplies
It the rate of thousands of dollars a
lay and in addition there is costly
insurance. In the silk trade time
iterally mea money.
The worlds record on the Yoko-
.ama-New York silk course was set /
p a few months ago when the Orient
7as brought within IS days, 8 hours r
8 minutes of Manhattan. Z
The new record established is IL
avs, IA hours and SO minutes.
Special port forces moved the rich
assignment in three hours to the
ilk train waiting with steam up.

CASH MARKETS FOR
HOGS ESTABLISHED
HOG PRODUCTION RAPIDLY IN
CREASING ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.

This fall at least three Roosevelt
county towns will have a cash mar
ket for hogs during the entire ship
ping season. The Farmers elevator
at Poplar inaugurated a livestock
marketing department last fall and
it became such a popular source of
outlet for the hog growers that over
$4,000 was paid out by this elevator
for hogs raised in the Poplar dis
trict last season. Manager Tinker
estimates that he will handle over
$50, 900 worth of hogs from the same
territory this year. The Equity ele-
vator at Wolf Point also started a
similar department and in a short
seasons run handled around $1,000
worth of hogs. This fall Manager
Bannister will have a new feed lot
and estimates that he will have an
enormods hog business this year due
to the better accommodations for
hog growers and the fact that there
was a large increase in hogs in this
territory during the last season.
The Farmers elevator at Froid is the
one to start this department as
all ACCOMMODATION " CnG mug SIOW-
ers in that territory and they esti-
that they will do a great bust
ness in that line this fall. All of
these marketing organizations will
handle hogs on about the same basis.
Instead of shipping them for a COM
mission they will buy the animals
and pay a cash price based on the
best market for the same class of
less the marketing expenses.
The hogs will be purchased on suffi-
'ient margin to insure against any
oss that may be incurred, such as {
market fluctuations, disease, etc.

took patrons dividend will be de- t
