BOARD REMAINS IN SESSION TWO DAYS (Continued from pa ge 1 so each school could have at least one representative or that the division be not made on the townline but in such a way as to give satisfaction to all parties concerned. The second school petition was presented by the residents in district 27 in the townships of Dailey and Page. Last winter the school house at Page burned and since then this dis trict hs?s been without a school build ing. There are two factions in this school district and they were not in agreement in regard to the erection of a new school house. Th county board heard the arguments from both sides, which at times became much heated, and finally decided to divide the district. The petition presented by Alfred Almgren et al called for the formation of a new district with the river as the dividing line. The board ruled to make the division according tc valuation and not with the river as the boundary line. The money in the treasury and all the school property was divided equally between the two school districts. The board held an evening session Tuesday at which a large number of bills were audited. The greater part of the session Wednesday was devoted to a consider ation of plans for a new court house. Groft & Boener, the architects se lected to draft plans for the proposed new court house, displayed their plans. They have agreed to erect the build ing, if the bonds carry, for a sum not to exceed $150,000. The plans include a jail in the basement of the court house. The matter of selecting a site for the proposed new court house was brought before the board. Jacob An finson offered the county a square block for the sum of $1. The board accepted his offer. This block is in the extreme southern portion of the village outside the platted area. I has a good elevation and is in an open stretch of country. There is not a tree or building near it. According to the description of the site available at this time, it appears to be in an open field which is this year planted to corn. Some of the residents of Mil aca protested against the action of the board stating that the site was too far removed from the center of the vil lage. But if the court house is really erected there, Milaca will undoubtedly expand in that direction and every thing will be satisfactory. The site is only a little more than a half mile from the postoffice. Party Fealty. Why are you a republican Or why a democrat? I would be interesting to learn the reason for the party affil iation of the individual, and to learn how much of party history he may know. That most men inherit their party allegiance is patent, and that bigotry has more to do with party prejudice than judgment cannot be de nied. Par ty names are no indication of continuous party sentiment. The Bourbon democrat can trace his party ancestry further into the past than can his political rival. Ye if he goes back far enough he will find himself classed by the detested rival name. For when, after the political rivalry of Jefferson and the elder Adams, party conventions succeeded congressional caucuses, the followers of Jefferson called themselves republicans, while the Hamiltonians were federalists. Madison, "father of the constitu- tion," was a republican of the stripe of Jefferson, yet he was the projector of the protective principle in the traiff on imports, while the modern demo crat is in theory a free trader, except that he has not the courage to say so, and suggests the traiff is justified only as a revenue producer. The name democrat was applied to the republicans in derision by the aris tocratic federalists. Since 1856 the principal political organizations have been known by their present names, but character both have changed. Could Lincoln visit us today he would have difficulty in recognizing as his own the party that has wonderedsofar from his teachings. And who would think of making the policies of a Cleve land tally with those of Jefferson? Jefferson, the democrat,was the first pubhc advocate of the abolition of negro slavery. Lincoln gained im mortality by achieving it. Madison, the democrat, fathered the protective tariff principle, and while it is incon ceivable that he would have supported it as it is in present practice, the idea has been a vital tenet in the theory of government of the latter-day re publicanism. The student of political history must be aware of these facts, and the stu dent of political history is becoming cynical regarding the reasons for par ty affiliation on the part of the masses. There are explanations of the situa tion other than mere inherited fealty, but they are hardly complimentary to the ideal of American citizenship. Dearborn Independent. A Bit of Postoffice History. Postmaster General Hubert Work, in an address before a local club, stated it is not generally known that Abraham Lincoln's first public office was that of postmaster. I was in 1833 under the administration of An drew Jackson that he was appointed as postmaster at Ne Salem, 111. Postmaster General Work also called attention to the fact that it was dur ing Lincoln's term as president that two great postal activities were in augurated. One was the introduction .-"|IHWMII||J^ nmm^mmra^f^am ^wyuti^i^fiWliinffl^WtBk*Miyw of the money order system and the other was an agreement with foreign nations for the systematic and equita ble handling of international mail. Both of these departments have be come very important part of the postal service today. The postmaster general traced the development of the mail transporta tion from the time of the dispatch bearer 600 years B. C. to the present day with the modern railway car, the auto delivery wagon and the airplane. When Benjamin Franklin was made first postmaster general there were only 28 postoffices in the country and the average day's progress of a letter was be "ween 30 and 50 miles. Frank lin received a salnry of $1,000 a year, and the total postal revenue amounted to only a few thousand dollars. Today approximately one-half of the entire number of governmental employes are in the postal service and the annual revenues amount to over $460,000,000. Chippewa Suit Nolled. In the supreme court of the District of Columbia yesterday Justice Hoehl ing dismissed the suit brought by John Morrison, president of the Chippewa council, in which he sought to restrain the secretary of the interior and the Indian commission from further ad ministering the affairs of the Chippe wa Indians of Minnesota. In his decision Justice Hoehling held that Morrison had no authority to bring the suit, that the suit was brought to compel the court to per form an administrative function. said also that the state was a neces sary party to the suit in view of its interests in swamp and overflow lands. He held further that the Red Lake In dians had separate rights from the other Indians and that the suit in effect was a suit against the govern ment which cannot be sued without its consent, and that such consent had not been given. Proves Pasteur's Theory. To prove his germ theory, Pasteur, when he was twenty-six jeais of age, 74 years ago, sterilized veal broth in glass tubes and then sealed the tubes. From time to time some of the tubes were opened, and it appeared that by exposure contamination occurred and the broth decomposed. But some of the bottles remained unopened and the broth in these, examined on his one hundredth birthday, proved as clear and perfect as when originally sealed in 1848. It is asserted by the first American pupil of Pasteur, now in Philadelphia, to whom the great scientist gave one of the sealed tubes, that the experi ment demonstrates the truth of the en tire theory, that decomposition and disease are due to the action of mi cro-organisms or "germs," that de stroying the germs will stop the dis ease, and that germs do not occur of their own accord out of a substance or tissue, but invade it from without, remarks the Topeka Capital Giving Ocular Proof. Several of us had taken a ferry trip from Detroit to Canada and had bought several souvenirs I had also invested in a good amount of lace. Hoping to evade the customs officer I rolled the lace on a card and stuck it the top of my stocking Alas! I didn get it down far enough. I had gone considerable distance past the customs booth when the card fell out on the walk beside me. Imag ine my sensation. I looked back to see a customs officer standing with his foot on an end of my lace and the whole length of my treasured stuff strung out along the walk between us. "Be sure your goods don't unravel next time, miss," he called out.Ex change. tfiXiJtLi S^EalteJs Airplanes to Fight Fire.

New uses for \\ood continually are being found, uses which may be un familiar to many. Sawdust can be con\erted into a sugary food for cat tle, forming at least one-fourth of the total food requirements without apparent detriment to dairy cows or to their product. Both wood and grain alcohol can be made of sawdust, as can be made, wholly or in part, smokeless powder, linoleum, sausage casing, chloroform, celluloid, ink and artificial silk. From wood waste we can make acetylene, varnish, paint and soap. Soured Later in Life. "I understand you've invested in a number of money-making schemes that didn't turn out well."
