A in a
county educational lines was
taken in Walcottlast Saturday,
in the meeting of boys and girls
called by Supt. Barnes in con
nection with the Farmers' In
stitute. This meeting was held
in the M. W. A. hall commenc
ing at 1:30 o'clock. About
thirty boys and girls were pres
ent. After discussing the im
portance of corn, and seeing
some manufactured corn pro.
ducts, such as corn starch,
laundry starch, corn oil, brown
sugar, corn syrup, glucose,
grits, dextrin and vulcanized
rubber, the boys and girls of
last year's contests told their
a as
causes of their failures. They
finally decided to have another
corn contest and to continue
the strawberry contest for at
least this year, and that it
would be a good plan to have a
potato contest in 1911, this last
to be open to both boys and
girls. It was voted to have an
other such meeting the next
time that the Farmers' Insti
tute is held in Walcott, and
Supt. Barnes stated that in
such case the boys making the
three best exhibits from around
Walcott, and he girls too,
would be expected to prepare
papers telling about their work,
to be read at the meeting. One
or two institue workers may be
present to answer questions for
the contestents, and possibly
two sessions might be held, one
for boys and the other for girls.
Supt. Hoverstad is enthusiastic
in desiring to co-operate with
the plan, and hopes that next
year a two day institute can be
arranged for Walcott.
Adolph Stenberg, proprietor
of the Walcott feed mill, met
with araerious accident Monday
forenoon while grinding feed in
&
SOURCES
the mill. In some manner his
right hand got caught between
the steel rollers that crush the
grain and was mangled in a
fearful manner. If the driving
belt had .tot slipped off there is
no doubt but that the whole
arm would h9ve been crushed
to pulp. He was taken to Dr.
Bean's office at once where the
injured member was dressed,
but it was found that the hand
was so badly crushed that it
was necessary to amputate
some of the lingers. Not wish
ing to perform such an opera
tion in Walcott, Dr. Bean took
him to Fargo where the opera
tion was performed by Drs.
Bean and Darrow. The greater
portion of the thumb was saved
but the first and second fingers
had to be amputated above the
second joints. If complications
do not set in Mr. Stenberg will
be out of the hospital in a week
or ten dayB.
For the first time in Richland
county that compulsory educa
tion law has been enforced by
fining a man for not sending
his children to school. The ac
tion was brot only after every
means bad been exhausted to
induce Heiiry Holthusen
Center township to comply of
his own accord. Supt. Barnes
had written him kindly, visited
him and called him into the
superintendent's office to talk
matters over he had tried to
get the man to comply thru
asking Holthusen's pastor to
see him about it he had asked
the states attorney to talk him
into sending the children to
school. But the man gbsolute
l£ would not obey, yet there
•was no reasonable excuse "for
his failure to do so. He was
brot before Justice Jurgenson
Friday and fined the minimum
penalty of $10.00 and costs, and
given to understand that he.
would be fined hereafter lor
every day that they are absent
without good excuse. Th is
week the children are in
school.—Walcott Reporter.
A GOOD REASON
Wahpeton People Can Tell You
Why it is so
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the
cause of disease, and that is
why the cures are always last
ing. This remedy strengthens
and toues up the kidneys, help,
ing them to drive out of the
body the liquid poisons that
cause backache, headache and
distressing kidney and urinary
complaints. Wahpeton people
testify to permanent cures.
William Drew, 101 S. First
St., Wahpeton, N. Dak., says:
"During the past seven or eight
years I have taken Doan's Kid
ney Pills, when having trouble
from disordered kidneys and I
am pleased to say that I have
found this temedy to be just as
represented. A few months
ago I was bothered by a dull
pain in the small of my back
and too frequent passages of
the.kidney secretions. At that
time I got a box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Keen's Drug Store
and theii use relieved me at
once. I have not had the least
symptom of the trouble since:''

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD PAPJER
The newspaper man is blam
ed for a whole let of things he
can't help such as using parti,
ality in mentioning visitors,
giving news about some folks
and leaving others out etc. He
simply prints all the news he
can find. Some people inform
him about such things and oth
ers do not. An editor should
not be expected to know the
nemes and residence of all your
uncles, aunts and cousins even
if he should see them get off
the trains. Tell us about it,
it's news that makes the news,
paper, and every man, woman
and child can be associate edi.
tor if they only will. Never
apologize when you give this
bit of information to an editor,
for if there lives one so dead
that he has lost his apprecation
of such favors he is dead, in
deed to every virtue that im­
