Although the North Dakota wheat crop
was one of the largest ever produced

North Dakota's largest potato crops,
prices received for both crops, the
official report says, "are so low that the
net profit to North Dakota farmers will
probably be the lowest since the war.
"A larger turkey crop than usual this
year insures the proper observance of
Thanksgiving in every corner of the
State, and the proper spirit will enter.

only fair outcome of season which

NORMAL SCHOOL WORK
 WILL BE INCLUDED IN
 CURR|CULA COLLEGE
EDUCATORS HOLD CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON; COURSES
 BE NAMED SOON

As the result of conference be- tween Dr. John J. Tigert, Commission CT of Education of the United States, and President Bunnell of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, in Seward the forepart of the week, new courses of study will be i'm cluded in the curricula of the College to cover two years of Normal School work. Dr. Tigert is quite willing to give Alaskans educated in the Terri tory an opportunity to teach in the native schools supervised by the Bureau of Education.
 It is believed by both educators that better results can be obtained, other things being equal, if the young men and women of Alaska will prepare themselves for these positions. Their knowledge of conditions gained thru living in the Territory ought to be decided advantage in carrying on edu- cational work among the natives.
 Many who come to Alaska as teach CTS in the Indian School Service are entirely unfamiliar with the condi- tions encountered and are at dis advantage in attempting to apply rules and regulations, with which they are familiar, to the new problems present ed to them in the North. Often their desire to experience Alaskas much advertised thrills has been the induce ment that "called" them to enlist in this service.
 pr. Tigert has also requested Presi- dent Bunnell to arrange to assist the Bureau of Education in extending the scope of it's work among the natives by giving special courses for Eskimo boys who are engaged in the reindeer industry. The plan is to carry on this work ill such way that the Bureau of Biological Survey thru it's station at the College can be of mater ial assistance. The reindeer indus trv is bound to become of immense importance and the College is in a position to contribute to the success of this enterprise.
 President Bunnell welcomes these now demands upon the college. They are entirely in keeping with his policy of making the College an instrument mentality thru which the people of Alaska can efficiently develop the re- sources of the Territory. He states that soon after his return to Fair hanks he will issue bulletin outlin- ing the new courses that will be offer ed.

HIGH SCHOOL BAND
TO ORGANIZE SOON
Schedule of instruction for Mu-
sical Students to be Arrang-
ed by Mr.. Limburg.

Redwood Falls students who will be
enrolled in the local schools this
school year are entitled and eligible
to receive free instruction on wind
and string instruments, according to
Supt. j. H. Wichman. Those who
plan to enroll for such instruction are
requested to meet with the instructor,
Mr.. Limburg, on Tuesday, August 81.
Mr.. Limburg will be headquartered at
the Senior high school building on
the above mentioned date for the pur-
pose of arranging schedule of in
struction which is to begin before
opening of school.
"It is desirable that students who
plan to take the work but who do not
have an instrument to consult the in
structor before ordering" said Mr..
Wichman. "It is necessary that all
instruments will be represented in
our instruction SO that a band and
orchestra may be fully organized. We
hope that a good representation will
be on hand on the above date"

Teachers Meeting Monday With
School Opening Tuesday.
Supt. Makes Statement.

Tuesday, September 4th, has been
selected as the opening date for the
Redwood Falls public schools accord
ing to recent statement of Super
intendent J. H. Wichman. Monday
will be devoted to getting the work
planned and all teachers will meet
for a general faculty meeting. A
full days session is planned for Tues
day, September 4th
On commenting on the opening of
the local schools for the 1928-29 sea-
son, Mr. Wichman said:
"All students who have not been
attending our schools before or who
did not attend the past year are re-
quested to enroll on Thursday, Aug
ust 23rd, at the Lincoln school be-
tween the hours 9 to II A. M. and 1
to p. NJ. All students enrolled the
past year need not present themselves
for enrolment. 1t is imperative for
all new students to enroll on the
above date. This includes students
and pupils for all grades and the high
school, 1t will be necessary to pre-
sent transcript of the high school
and grade records when students come
to enroll. All eighth grade students
who are enrolling as Freshmen are
expected to present their eighth grade
diploma and also the record of their
state board examinations.
"The text books for the four classes
in high school will be the same as an
nounced last May. New students

ing for them at the office. All books
and supplies will be strictly cash as
in the past. Students may leave sec
ond hand books for disposal at the
office. No second hand books will be
accepted unless all writing is erased.
"We urge all students to plan to
attend school the first day. Much of
the success which a student enjoys is
due to his attendance the first few
days of school when the teacher is in
Producing the class to the new sub
jects. We wish all parents would as
sumo the responsibility to send their
children the first day of school and
then be concerned with regular at
tendance. We raised our average
number of days present per pupil
from 141.56 days in 1926-27 to an av-
erage of 1876 days per pupil for
the past year. Perfect figures would
be 18O days per pupil so that we are
yet far from a good goal. We should
like to be able to report a large list
/ of pupils who were neither absent nor
tardy at the close of the year.
"Our faculty, we believe, is strong
Ione. 1t is our concern to raise our
scholarship and our faculty will have
this as their chief purpose from the
beginning of the year. We want pupils
Ito learn to study before they leave
for higher institutions of learning or
before they leave for their profess
sions. We trust that we have the CO.
operation of all parents in this en-

Gene Shank, Redwood County
Aviator, Does Series of Stunts
at American Legion Show.

Because of an extremely high wind
the parachute jump scheduled for the
afternoon of the American Legion
Flying Circus last Sunday was not
made until 700 p. m. that evening.
"Stub" Crissenger hoped off from
a plane piloted by Gene Shank to
make safe landing in the Alexander
field west of the Fair Grounds to end
the days entertainment sponsored by
the local post of the American Le-
gion.
Beginning at 2:30 p. m. series OF
motorcycle races, stunt riding and
motorcycle polo was viewed by some
1000 people. Either due to the fail
ure of the Flying Circus Company to
live up to it's contract, or the high
wind. the fleet of planes promised
for the main attraction did not ap-
pear.
Gene Shank, hired by the Legion as
a special event, gave series OF fancy
stunts in his new Waco-1O plane
The plane used by Shank was the
same model in which he shattered the

February. His series of stunts con-
