Baudette, gram will include: Methods ture; local problems: in their school work. Each teacher is expected to attend one of these institutes. A certificate of attendance will .be_issued-4to-edch teacher who ic neither tardy nor absent from ome or the other of these institutes. This certificate will entitle: her to draw the same pay fof the week as if she had taught. This is paid by her school board, who cannot refuse pay for attending one week of Teachers’ Institute. Teachers who are’ tardy or absent a part of the time are not cntitled to pay- During the past few years, states County Superintendent J- C. Mec- \ Ghee, many ungualified teachers were permitted to teach throughout the United States because qualified teachers could not be secured in a sufficient number. Today there are plenty of teachers. Those doing the best work will not-need to worry about wages, because school boards will pay a premium for excellent work. The indifferent, the poorly prepared, the teacher without ability and the one who wants to teach only a year or two will find it hard to secure a school next year, he says: Therefore, ke urges all of the teach- ers to make themselves betten by at- tending and being interested in the institute. All teachers in this county are asked to interest themselves and their pupils in the spelling and both contests, Beltrami having won second place in the written spelling contest and seventh in the booth. contests at the state fair this year- All are en- i rouraged to make an’ even better “Sshowing at the state fair mext year. Those teachers who plan to "at nd the Baudette meeting and who ish private boarding places are re- vested to write Supt. J. A- McAr- hur of that city as soon as possible.

Club, under the auspices, of the - Ralph Gracie post of the .American Legion could not be stageds, This. club. is booked for showing at Fosston dur- ing the fair there Wednesday and Thursday and it s doubtful if ar- rangemeits can be made to stage the show here, although there is a possibility that Thief River Falls may not stage the exhibition as planned for next Sunday ana in that event the club may decide to show here instead. Quite a few local fans have ex- pressed the desire to see this pro- gram and were disappointed in the woather Sunday. It is expected that if the show is staged here, it will be largely atended. i ON ERICKSON LA, 10 REST IN GREENWOOL Anton R: Erickson; formerly post- master of-Bémidji and ‘a resident’ of this ity for“the past 25 years, was’ laid. to rest in Greenwood cemetery Sunday afternoon following funeral services held. at the First Lutheran church at-2 olclock.

The award is to be made by a com- mittee of seven, of which D. Edgar F. Smith, president of the American Chemical society, is to be chairman. He is to select four of the commit- tee. The others are to be named by the Allied Chemical and Dye cor- poration of New York City, which, through William ‘H. Nichols, offerea the prize. The committee members are to have no connection with the corporation. The gift is to become operative next year. It is pointed out that while no true desciple of science is so much actu- ated by hope of reward as by his in- terest in the search for knowledge, nevertheless, a material reward fot scientific work can not help but act as a spur to increased endeavor. Chémical discoveries, it is_noted, have frequently laid the foundation for large industries and huge for- tunes. . Carborundum, the ‘“electric furnace abrasive, synthetic graphite, the' various celluloid and cellulost products, the fertilizer and cement industries, the utilization of a thow sand bi-products, and the extraction of oils, dyes, and medicines from coal tar, are all cited a® cases in point. It is hoped that the large prize of- fered will stimulate still further the chemists of the country in endeavors to solve the many pressing chemical problems the answers to which will raise the standard of living and in- crease wealth.

J. Hepburn commanding the American destroy- ers at Smyrna. The British rushed reinforcements today to resist the threatened onslaught by Mustapha- Kemal’s troops- All the transports for the Near East were loaded with British soldiery to reinforce the lit- tle band of 19,000 troops and stem the way of the threatened invasion of 400,000 victory-maddened Turks Great Britian by starting all avail- able troops to the Dardanelles thea- ter "has made good her declaration mit to Turkish occupation of Con- stantinople or the neutral zone of that she will fight rather than sub- the Dardanelles. It was belived here that Brit:.in will attempt to play a lone hand if necessary. A British transport has been load- ed at Malta with 100,000 Gordon Highlanders and 200 special detail- ed troops accompanied by a field artillery. A surprise attack of Kemalists and Chanaks commanding the en- trance to the Dardanelles is not al- together expected. Meager forces of allied troops have been rushed to the entrance and were reported to ba entrénching to resist the hemalist army- Allied representatives here admitted frankly they ‘were coneern- ed over the probable eventualities if the Turks rushed toward the city- The allied soldiers could make but feeble resistance against the enor- mous nuniber of troops and grave consequences are, felt. Intelligence agents report here that the Turks appeared over-awed by British warn- ings against invasion of the neutral zone and authorities belive this may prevent Kemal f{rom orderng an advance. Bouillon is the French nuthori‘ty on Near East affairs. He negotiated the Franco-Kemalistic treaty- Only overt act by Kemal will draw military actions from France, it was stated officially. France may inter- vene on the side of the British 1f Kemal actually invades the Dard- anelles neutral zone, but otherwise action by France is considered re- mote. The English request for military ;sistance met with a cold reception in France. It was pointed out in semi official circles that when France at- tempted individual action against Germany, England objecteq Erng- land by taking its present action has only widened the breech in the British-French Near East Policy.
