PRACTICAL TEAMS Graduate of Science Ceuroo of -A. C. Is Doing 8plendid Work tn the Larimore Hifeh School. Miss Elisabeth Rice of Ijarimore, a graduate of the sclei)c$ course of the agricultural college spent a part of last week at the biological department looking up materials and information to assist her fn her work of teaching. Miss Rice has charge of the division of domestic economy and botany at the Larimore high school. She is making wery effort to make her subjects of particular usefullness to the students. It is expected that it will not be many years before we see a large num ber of such properly trained teachers in the high schools of the state. It is only teachers that have had science in its direct application to farm and home work that may reasonably be ex pected to be able to properly teach such subjects as botany elementary agriculture and cooking- .Many boys and girls from the farm are apt to' have more knowledge of such subjects than the old lined trained teacher may have at. his disposal. It is not improbable, on account fft the high collars of the new coats, that less will be seen of boas. 4 **$ '4, -1 V A,- '*r'r.\\ .* 7 "Dashing" Winter 'Ovef&afs Hp HE YOUNG MAN WHO WANTS to Dre9S a little out of the ordinary and yet re train from freakish clothes will find the COLLEGIAN GARMENTS the richest looking coats we have ever shown and by far the most exclusive models of the Distinction In Dress O THE YOUNG MAN WHO WANT^ sntt of clothes he is not likely to see dup!I-» eated on every -other man he meets, will admire tSie COLLEGIAN CLOTHES and will app^ccl^Ie their exciiiiiivcacsg.,.

CONCERNING COUBTESY Northwestern Telephone Co. IV»ue Circular .to Its Employes Relative to -Treatment o# the Pubiie. The following expression to ita op erators. clerks, cdllecttfrtr. and other representatives Indicate the attitude of the company on a subject of vital Interest to Its patrons: The possession in marked degree of any worthy faculty should always be an Incentive to develop that, faculty. This company considers that its op erators, clerks, collectors, and other representatives possess the faculty o? being oourteous to the public* fcbove the average. To those who cultivate and exercise this faculty the* com pany extends its congratulations and its thanks to those who may not have fully appreciated its importance, thoughtful consideration of the fol lowing is suggested:— FIRST. The principle that under lies^ courteous treatment of others is simplf that of doing unto others as you would have others do unto you. SECOND. In a highly complex and technical business, such as that of the telephone company, there are many things,that you with your training and dally experience, understand with per fect familiarity, but whicrt t&o public do not understand therefore jnot assume that the public BhoulS 0bm prehend them without Asking ques tions, but when they make inquiry of you give them the courtesy of a reply just as full and clear as you can make it, and without any suggestion ofi Superiority born of a grfepter knowledge. THIRD. Words ore onKy! ONE means of expression, and MANNER is quite as important therefore re member that a kindly and gracious maimer is not only the sign and mark t£ s» Jself-respecting man, but is to word# what oil'is to machinery amkingt -«them move effectively to th#h jiurpbse. FOURTH. True '-Oourtesy Is no re spect or of persoh». It remembers that "a man's a man for a' that," and gives the civil word and the helping hand quite as readily to the ill-clad stranger as to a»n official of the com pany. FIFTH. Courtesy is not only some thing the public have a right to ex pect of you, but IT PAYS. It pays in the friends it makes ycu personally, and as a representative of the company. It pays in minimizing the friction of your life, as well as that between the company and its patrona. It pays in raising your standing with the company. It pays In the personal satisfaction of having done the right and kindly thing by your "neighbor."-. It is the wish of the management of this contipany that all its representa tives,, whose work brings them into contact with the public, may appre ciate and fully measure up to their duty and privilege in this respect.

Members Of t*ue jurisprudence com mittee of the North takota Bar as sociation were *n Flargo yesterday for the purpose 61' goiri# oVef drafts of proposed changes in the state laws touching court procedure which will be introduced Into the legislature this winter, and it is very probable will be passed. John Carmody of HUlsboro is the chairman of this committee and other members who were in Fargo yester day were M. C. Lasell of La^ure and John W. Hemml of Jamestown. These drafts were prepared by Mr. Lasell, who has taken a great in terest In law reforms in North Dakota, especially touching practice and pro cedure, and Mr. LaseU outlined the proposed changes to a Forum repre sentative last evening. "The principal changes which we propose to have made in the laws," said Mr. Laselh are Ih the laws af fecting mechanics' liens, and the fore closure of mortgaged property by ad vertising. V "We also propose to have a change made so that clerks of county courts, which hav^' increased jurisdiction. shfUl be abJ* to administer tfte oath and other changes in the laws affect ing practice before the county courts with increased jurisdictioh are pro posed. "There is already a committee* work ing on this matter of procedure. This is a committee of county. judges, which has charge of general procedure but our committee hopes to co-oper ate with thfs other ^committee and try to get the procedure before the county court as nearly like that of the dis trict court as possible. "We believe that the laws govern ing procedure in county courts with Increased jurisdiction are altogether too bunglescme and it is our aim to simplify and modify the procedure." Mr. Lasell believes that it is only a question of felme before the county courts that have Increased Jurisdiction will have charge of practically all of the crimin-4 fcfcsinoss that is now coming betos Justices of the peace and police magistrates. He contends that in counties where Increased juris diction of the county £ourt obtains that the justices and police magis trates have absolutely no .power except to hold prisoners to the county .court.

Professor Bolleys paper was broi^ght into the issue of Nov, 21, and the editor made this unm ber a special, feature of the matter of weed spraying. There are numerous full page advertisements of field spray ers, and one can see the type of al most every weed, and potato spraying machine that is on the market. Pro fessor Boll.ey's article deals with the character and structure of the ma chines necessary, to #o good work, and makes no mention of any particular firm's machinery. In all, the number of Farm Implements wil prove very interesting reading to any farm ma chinery firm that contemplates the purchase and sale of sprayers, and will be of much 'interest to any farmer who may be considering the advisability of purchasing a field sprayer, as it fur nishes fine photographs of praotically aH the different .types of sprayers now on the market.

Smith, who was sent uf from Cass county for grand larceny*.fiad been pardoned by the state boast of pardons. This, \v$s something of a surprise to the officials in this city. Smith was the man who pleaded guilty to the theft of a team of draft horses which were taken from the Staples farm near Absaraka last summer. It will be remembered that Smith, who was accompanied by his wife, was a black smith employed on the Staples farm and that he took the team and started for Minnesota. He crossed the river and turned the team loose after find ing that they were played out. The horses wandered back to this side and a search by people who found .the horses soon located the abandoned btiggy, and from this Smith and his wife were traced, arrested and brought back to the Cass county Jail.
