He had j Wire yester mor stating that i ttle were starvin; all the feed was gone, and Cermak had hoped to saye the herd by shipping this hay to Dickinson. Fanned by a stiff wind, the flames soon enveloped the entire field. Volun- teer fire-fighters rushed to the field and attempted to stop the spread of, the flxmes, but the fire had gained! such o headway, aided by the wind, that their efforts were futile. A back fire was started at the road north of Sterling and this probably | prevented the flames from leaping across the highway and_ threatening the town of Sterling. In this way the fire was checked and it soon burned itself out. Only four tons out of hte entire 320 ss Were saved. | Cermak fears that his herd of cat- tle at Dickinson will be forced tg die of starvation, as he is unable to obtain any hay in time to save them. STANGELAND 10 SEE THAT STUDENTS HAVE RIGHT SORT READING North Dakota educational librar- jes are to be revised according to plans prepared by Dr. C. E. Stangeland, = well known radical at one time recalled from Ameri- ca’s diplomatic service. Mr. Stangeland has been connected with the league from the time he qualified by proving himself a man in favor of more or less di- rect action. He is now in the em- ploy of the state board of admin- istration, which has contro! of all educational affairs in ‘North Da- kota. He has been engaged by this board to make a survey of in- stitution libraries. “There is al- ways a possibility that much dead material may have accumu- lated on the library shelves,” ex- plained the board.

First, it is a car that needs seryice- attention but very infrequently: Second, when it does seem desirable to give the Dort a “going over” you can do it yourself easily, quickly, and inexpensively because of the marked simplicity and accessibility of Dort construction. Third, its mileage per set of tires, gallon of gasoline, and quart of oil is perceptibly higher than common. Prices F.O. B. Factory ‘Wire Wheels and Spare Tires Extra Bismarck Motor Co.

They are not being taught to make out programs—to make out pro- grams,” he repeated. Miss Neilson called Mr. Muir's at- tention to the fact that each county has a superintendent of schools whose duty it is to look after this work. “But,” objected the very Rev. George A. Totten, “the county super- intendent is located at the county seat, and may be 40 miles away.” So the job of checking over high school courses and teaching prospec- tive rural school teachers to “make out programs” is delegated to Mr. Macdonald, who may be all the way from 200 to 500 miles away. - How they Work. An example of the working plan of the board of administration came up Thursday, The secretary reported that something had: gone wrong with the | building of a garage or some other important adjunct to the science school at Wahpeton. Chairman Tot- ten thought Muir could go down and fix it up and Muir agreed that he’d like a ride on the steam cars, so that was arranged. Along toward the close of the after- noon, after he had milled“it over for some time, Totten decided he’d like to'take a trip, too, and he announced his intention of accompanying Muir. Not to be outdone, Mr. Casey joined in with a “Me, too,” so as a result thé three members of the board set out Thursday on a mission which could propably have been disposed of in a five minutes’ long distance telephone conversation. Miss Nielson was in- vited to enjoy the junket and when she refused the other members beard agreed that her position was very odd. Expensive Experts.
