THE BOOSTER

A booster is that rare individual that
knows that his community needs every ounce
of cooperative spirit that he can muster, and
that If he Shirks his duty he becomes but
drone upon the community's progress and
development.
A booster builds railroads, highways,
bridges and skyscrapers. He has been the
mighty force behind movements that brot
industries, populations and payrolls; and
then has not stopped, but has fostered and
built homes, parks, Fairgrounds, community
centers, churches and schools, where the
wealth obtained might be transferred into
happiness, culture, service, work. play, wor-
ship, love.
A booster has never said fail" when the
work to be done was recognized as necessary
and good for his community. He has sought
to destroy gloom and kill the pessimist, and
has put to rOut the it-can' 't-be-done spirit,
sQuelched the knocker and spread general
feeling of optimism. He is behind every ac-
tivity that will advance the welfare of the
community
A booster has more or less classical names,
such as Perseverance, Optimism, Good Cit
izen; and then he has other and less digni-
fled terms, such as Lets Go" "Put 'Er
Over" and Alta Boy" but there's none of
them that quite expresses all that he is like
plain BOOSTER.
We are thankful that Red Lodge has
number of boosters.
The pessimist and knocker, one by one,
are departing and their places will be filled
by boosters.
Red Lodge has a number of enterprises in
contemplation. Among them is pea can
merry and we are certain that this will be
realized this year which will add to the
wealth of the community. More and better
highways will be built and this is going to
be done by the boosters. This paper is going
to foster every enterprise that will be ben
eft to Red Lodge and Carbon county. We
are going to be booster and when we can
not boost we shall cease to exist, and when
the day comes that the editor shall exist only
in memory of the works that he has left be-
hind he shall rest in peace if they will but
promise now to carve on the stone that
stands for him, these words; He was a
Booster"

an engine that, without expensive
renewal of parts, will fly around
the world ten times. They don't

ADVISES HIGH
STANDARD FOR
N. D. TEACHERS
Allen Says Two Years of
Professional Training
Should Be Required

Valley City, April 1.-THE mini
school should be at least two years
of professional training beyond high
school graduation, c. f. Allen, pre-
sident of the North Dakota Educa-
tional Association and Of the Valley
City State Teachers College declared
here in addressing the Southwest
Section Convention of the Associa-
tion today.
Records of the state show that full
ly half of the North Dakota teach
ers have only high school educa-
tion, he said. Although conditions
are far from ideal, "standards are
being raised," he said, referring to
the new law which requires attend
ance at a normal school on the part
of high school graduates who be-
come teachers.
Standards have been raised in 9TH
er professions, especially medicine
and law and teaching calls for more
and better training than medicine
and teaching standards ought to at
least approximate those of the me-
dical profession" He declared that
one, of the greatest needs of the ed
ucation profession was the attrac.
tion of talented young men and wo-
men. He said that people are in
clined to look down on the teaching
profession and that even teachers are
sometimes ashamed of their work
but that they should appreciate the
advantage of their profession and
"help make it the high and notable
calling it ought to be-"

OF North Dakota realized the great
value of the association to the state
and the value of tourist travel as
they do now. He said that every city
IN the state along the route is Civ
ing the association greater financial
support this year than ever before.
Bismarck has increased its quota to
the association so per cent and Fargo
100 per cent. Many other cities have

WHEAT GROWER
EDITOR LEAVES
STATE PAPER

Confirmation of the report that
M. E. Bridston of Grand Forks, pub
Usher of The Wheat Grower. organ
of the North Dakota Wheat Growers
association, had disposed of his in
terests in the semimonthly publica-
tion to the organization was receiv-
ed here today. His contract for the
publication was said to expire Aug.
z, 1925.
Bridston figured in the contro-
versy among the officials of the asso-
citation when on April 2 he obtained
an injunctional order from Judge A.
T. Cole in Cass county district court
against Geo. E. Duis. president, re-
straining Duis from interfering with
the mailing of the April issue to
subscribers. y
The former publisher declared that
the edition and the mailing list had
been locked ~ in the office at Grand
Forks by the Duis faction. He as
serted that the issue contained no
reference to the tangle between di-
rectors and the president, and that
Duis had insisted that the edition
contain a presentation of his views.
Disposal of his rights in the paper
was said bv Bridston to be due to his
disapproval of the associations p.
licy under Duis.

WHEAT SEEDING
FINISHED IN
THIS SECTION
Condition of Fields and Crops
in North Dakota Most
Satisfactory
RAINS ARE BENEFICIAL
Burleigh Farmers Sowing
Oats; Livestock in Good
Condition

Agriculturists of this section of
the state agreed today that the rain
and snow that started falling at noon
yesterday was "extremely beneficial"
to pasture lands and wheat. The rain
was reported general in most Of
North Dakota.
Wheat seeding has been completed
IN Burleigh county and many farmers
have started sowing oats, according
10 reports reaching here.
The condition of fields and crops to
date in North Dakota have been most
satisfactory. Most Of the wheat and
oats acreage south of the northern
boundary of kidder, Stutsman,
$Barnes, and Cass counties is already
in TIE ground Northward the pro-
gress Of field work has been some
what retarded as there was much less
fall plowing done, and very much
more snow. Flowing is now general
the state over. There has been suf-
ficient moisture to start termination
of all crops sown; south and especial
ly in the southwest half of the state,
fields are somewhat dry.
Much of the spring plowed acreage
is being prepared tor sowing oats,
barley, rye and unquestionably some
of it will be put into spring wheat.
There is some concern over the
prospect of shortage of sufficient
corn of good quality for seed.
All livestock are reported in excel
lent condition. moisture has been
sufficient to make excellent grass,
and concentrated feeds are plentiful.
There is no great shortage of farm
labor in the state although the de-
mand is slightly in excess of the sup
ply at this time,

of an internal machine in the Cathe-
dral of Sveti Kral during the funeral

out Bulgaria today as the result of
the bombing outrage. Sofia today
was in a state Of ferment, the great
est excitement prevailing. The
military authorities have ordered a
curfew established, the streets to
be cleared at 1880 p. m.
Although all the members Of the
government we're present at the
funeral service in the Cathedral,
none were seriously injured.
Premier Tsankoff was one of those
but was able to preside over the
cabinet during its emergency ses-
sion today.

occurred, was assassinated in the

concealed under the roof in the
southern part Of the cathedral and
spent most Of it's force in the crowd
in that part of the edifice.
In addition to the large number
of fatalities, it was estimated that
about 200 persons were wounded.
Upon learning of the disaster the
king Immediately went to the scene.
The dead includes the chief of
police and a number of prominent

The task Of searching the debris
in the cathedral consumed hours but
all the bodies were believed to have
been recovered This morning. Inside
the cathedral ancient religious rel.
les and fragments of clothing are
strewn about in confusion.
There were several acts of bravery
during the disorder which followed
the explosion of the bomb, men
among the gathering seeking to
assure the safety of women and
children by carrying them out.
The director of the central pri-
son was assassinated in the street
here today but otherwise there was
no disturbance last night or this
morning in either Sofia or the pro-
vinces. Passengers on trains are
being searched vigorously. Citizens
are enrolling and forming patrols to
