Large Number of Scalps.
Since the scalp bounty law went
into effect on January 1, 1909,
County Clerk Hill has issued war
rants amounting to $2,339.50.
The scalps presented for bounty
included 1505 coyotes at $1.50
each; 3G bob cats at $2 each, and
one cougar on which the bounty is
$10.
Since the law went into effect,
the bounty has stimulated a re
lentless war on predatory animals
and coyotes are becoming scarce.

Points Regarding the
Census ,
The census begins April
. 15 and must be completed in
two weeks in cities and in 30
days in all other areas.
The enumerators will wear
a badge inscribed "United
States Census. 1910."
The law ' requires every
adult person to furnish the
prescribed information, but
also provides that it shall be
treated confidentially, so that
no injury can come to any
person from answering the
questions.
The President has issued a
proclamation, calling on all
Citizens to co-operate with
the census and assuring them
that it has nothing to do with
taxation, army or jury ser
vice, compulsory school at
tendance, regulation of im
migration, or enforcement of
any law, and that no one can
he injured by answering the
inquiries.
It is of the utmost import
ance that the census of pop
ulation and agriculture in
this state be complete and
correct.
Therefore every person
should pramptly, accuaately,
and completely answer the
census questions asked by
the enumerators.

Last Friday, the writer con
tinued his visit to our school. In
Miss Reid's room, the little people
were doing some work in arithme
tic, It was very gratifying to
note how quickly the pupils solved
problems mentally. Following
this was a spelling lesson. The
method Miss Raid employs calls
for the closest attention of all the
pupils all the time. They are
alert and seldom allow a misspell
ed word to pass. One little fellow
always smiled a broad smile when
he solved a problem or picked up
word that had been missed. He
thorodghly enjoys his study. ThiB
is not saying that the other pupils
were not enjoying the work, but
his manifestation ww marked. It
would be hard to find a lot of chil
dren with brighter laces. What a
fine thing it would be if we could
always carry a light heart into our
work.
The next room was Miss Win
nard's. ..The pupils were just com
Dieting a test in arithmetic. . After
that was finished, the class had a
drill upon the . map of the' United
States. This exercise was lively
and very interesting. At the close
of this exercise, the writer went
with the class to the music room,
where the class gave an exhibition
of their work in music. The teach
er and pupils bad extended some
special invitations to patrons to be
present on this occasion. The
class gave ample proof that Miss
Koehnke is doing excellent work.
In the afternoon, the writer vis
ited Miss May's room during the
recitations of the 6th grade arith
metic class and the 7th grade his
tory and the writing period for
both grades. The sixth grade pu
pils are working hard to complete
their arithmetic work. This makes
it necessary to recite twice a day.
They are working with determina
tion and will, no doubt, succeed.
The history class discussed the
topics in a manner indicating a
good understanding of the subject
The next room was Miss Brew
er s. Here the pupns were just
finishing an iuteresting lesson in
geography. The lesson was de
veloped from an outline. The 5th
grade language class then took up
a lesson on verbs. This work
called for considerable thought,
but most of the pupils were equal
to the task and showed by their
work that they could think well.
The Gih grade then took up some
work in interest. This division of
this grade recites twice a day in
arithmetic. They are making an
extra effort to complete the arith
metic work of the grade. The
work of the day closed with spell
ing. The pupils of this room un
derstand the importance of learn
ing to spell
On Monday, the writer visited
Mrs. Turner's room during the
recitations in tenth grade English
and eighth grade arithmetic and
grammar. The class in English
seem to be doing excellent w r.
The arithmetic class were dealing
with some miscellaneous problems.
These lists of miscellaneous prob
lems usually present many diffi
culties. They are va uable, bow
ever, in the way of a review. This
clasH welcomes such work, as they
expect to take the regular eighth
grade examination in May. The
grammar class had a very interest
ing lesson on the adjective.
The writer visited Mies Currin's
room during the writing period.
These pupils take much pride in
their writing and are striving to
make improvement every day. It
is to be hoped that their interest
will continue until they each ac
quire a good style of handwriting.
Some of the copy books are models
of neatness.

The object of this special day is
