Says President Should
Strip All Expenditures In
Guiding Armament, To Bone

With the announcement that the
federal debt on December 18th has
reached a total of 81 1885,, 742, 1853,
Representative Harold Knutson, of
Minnesota, called for a liberal use
Of the PAIRING Knife" by President
Roosevelt on all federal expendi-
lures proposed for the next fiscal
year.
1--WE have found to our sorrow
we cannot spend ourselves into
prosperity" he said. "As for spend
ing $4,000. 600, 900 for defense at this
time, 1t is as tragic as it is fatuous."
Knutson declared the national
debt, including obligations for
which the government is guarantor,
is approximately 0,0O0, 600, 900 now
and said at would seem the time
has arrived for Mr.. Roosevelt to
strip all expenditures to the bone.
Extravagant expenditures for ma
tional defense proposed by Mr..
Roosevelt are out Of line with the
world situation"
Knutson's comment followed dis
closure by the navy department
that los vessels were under con-
struction for the navy on July 81,
1889, and that during the last fis-
cal year, three light cruisers, two
submarines and eight destroyers
were delivered to the government
by private shipyards.

HOMESTEAD RATE 1853
Total on Homestead
Basis 126.-On Non
Homestead 1926

People cannot have things with
out paying for them and this is
forcibly brought home when they
pay their taxes. Taxpayers in the
City of Sank Centre are confronted
with the highest tax rate in the
history Of the city, and there is no
end in sight.
Under the 1889 tax rate, payable
in 1910, recently received from
County Auditor Frank Rainier, the
total mills on the homestead rate
for Sank Centre will be 126. The
non-homestead rate totals 1926.
This is an increase of twenty mills
over last year, on the homestead
rate. Increases are listed in the
county, city and school rates.
The state non-homestead levy is
10 mills, or 6.36 mills more than
the homestead levy. The levies for
all purposes, state, county, city and

Have you noticed the number
Of Christmas trees placed in the
show windows Of the city. Quite
a number of the merchants
have compiled with the Com
munity Clubs wishes, but there
are many who have not yet done
so. There is room for Christ

The pupils Of Miss Sather have
received an interesting letter from
their former classmate, Murrell
Towne, this week. She moved some
time ago to Minneapolis, where she
resides at 500 18th Ave. South. She
broadcasts over the radio station
WMIM, at 1890 a. m. Saturday.
Many Of the pupils have listened
to the broadcast. The pupils have
just completed the study Of Europe.
They have given reports on each
country Of Europe in connection
with the study. With trouble STIR
ring in the majority Of the for
eign countries, they find it very
interesting to watch the map Of
Europe change. They also take
great interest in Germanys invas-
ion Of Czechoslovakia and Lithuan-
ia. Tuesday the pupils saw an
other interesting film. It was about
Japan and numbering in the North
west.
Due to colds and sickness, Miss
Holden's sixth grade has had very
poor attendance for the past two
weeks. New club officers have been
elected which include the follow
ing: president, Sidney Butler; vice
president, Victor Wiener. In Geo
graphy the sixth graders have COM
pleted the study Of Europe, and
after Easter they will start study

their artist talent tested when they
drew pictures Of pussy willows.
Some Of the pictures were very
neatly drawn and showed great
talent. They also learned a poem
and song about the pussy willows.

Miss Murphy's pupils are now

They have built large map Of

contains all the important products
that our country grows and pro-
duces. Some Of them are cotton
plantations, oil wells, tobacco fields
and organge leaves. They have
not forgotten the rivers and lakes;
therefore they have cut the Great
Lakes and the Mississippi River out
of blue paper and put them in their
proper places. To be sure to get
the necessary products, some Of the
pupils have written to relatives al
Florida and California for orange
leaves, etc. The most important
thing of all is that they will plant
wheat and corn kernels, in their
respective places, which will grow
to a certain height. This is nice
project and is very interesting to
see and they should be compli.

locations within the school as an
extra-curricular activity Is one of
the best movements toward q bet
terment Of the school program. BY
student publications is meant mag
azines, weekly papers and class an
nuals which are published entirely
by students. Every bit Of the pro-
cess Of putting out a paper is ac-
complished through the efforts OF
students. Students write the artic-
les, set the articles up in type, make
the dummy, and assemble the cop
les. Every bit Of the work is done
by students under proper super
vision.
Perhaps the greatest benefit OF
a school publication is the giving
of vocational training in one ex-
tremely important field Of the mod.
ern world. BY taking part in this
extra-curricular activity, a student
finds out what his particular abil-
tiles along this line are, whether
or not he is interested in this kind
of work, and If he is interested, he
gains experience which will prove
valuable to him when he enters
this profession upon his graduation
from school.
When a student is attending the
high school, he usually finds that
he has a great amount of leisure
time. The school publication puts
this leisure time which otherwise
would probably be wasted to a
worthy use. Too many students
graduate in this era without having
knowledge Of the value Of ones
leisure. Only by gaining this
knowledge in school can one ex.
pect to use his time justly wher
engaged in making living. Tc
promote this knowledge is one o,
the numerous detectives Of schoo
publications.
The successful putting out of g
school paper requires punctuality
on the part of all those involved
1t requires accuracy as well a.
speed, and it demands work above
all other things. When a student
is working on the staff of a schoo
publication, if he is doing his par
ticular task satisfactorily, he is un
consciously developing these traits
He learns to be on time with his
assignments, to work accurately
and not to waste time. Perhap:
all of this can be summed up un
der the title good work habits
The development of these GOOD
work habits" is one Of the out
comes of working on school pub
lication.
To write an article one must
be able to transpose the authors
train Of thoughts to the reader
That is the objective Of nearly
every article. This objective is not
restricted to journalism, however
for it is also the objective Of al

ART
When coming in for my news
this week, found Miss Klobe en-
gagged in the actual work Of block
printing. The process of block
printing is rather interesting in that
all the printing is done in reverse
on linoleum blocks. The design OF
desired letters are first traced on
the block and then cut out with
some funny looking tools which
Miss Klobe tells me, are called
block printing tools.

LEGATION produces a lasting effect
on everyone of its participants.
Last and surely not least is the
effect upon ones interest in school
life which school publications pro-
duce. Many students who have no
interest in school whatsoever find
that when they begin working on
a school paper, they gain an inter-
est in school affairs which they
never before had experienced. This
is one Of the most important i'm
mediate benefits of a school pub
LEGATION.
Therefore, I believe that the
school publication has and can &C
complish a great deal which no
other activity has or will.
INDUSTRIAL
Industrial Arts students spent
Monday removing seats from the
Senior High School preparatory to
remodeling and sanding the floors.
Mr.. Perry has done wonderful
job Of inlay work on a card table,
using maple, mahogany and wal
nut wood. The fine result has
spurred several boys on to make
similar tables.
The instructor states that many
projects in metal work are for sale
and can be had by merely coming
and paying for the material used
The ninth grade wood working
class is now ready to assemble and
paint their many fine projects.
Now that ole Sole is riding
higher, finishing up projects is
done out doors which eliminates
the hazards Of dust and an over
crowded shop.
HOME ECONOMICS
The students Of home economics
have one more chance to entertain
guests before vacation. That is
Easter vacation. Or haven't you
heard that the University Of North
Dakota Band is giving a concert
here Wednesday evening. Anyway
they are to be entertained at din
ner, which is to be prepared and
served by the home economies stu
dents. The advanced group has
charge. of the food, but the fresh.
man girls will take part in the serv
ing too.
Arrangements haven't been en-
tirely completed so I cannot say
If there will be a head table OF
not; or just what the decorations
will be. Miss Cary did say, how
ever, that a spring color scheme
will be carried out. Namely: greer
and yellow. Now If you girls JUS
follow instructions I know you will

The tipping room in the basement
Of the library which is serving al.
so as temporary Economic Geo.

like. On the wall to the back of
the room there are large colored
maps made by the Economic Geo

them closely you will find them to
be very interesting. The maps are
Of British possessions and on each
map the principle cities are named
and also the products for each part
Of the country. Some Of these pro
ducts have been shown by cutting
out a picture Of the product and
pasting 1t on the map.
