It has been the general belief
among the residents of this place
that the government boats trcvollng
up and down the river past this place
did more toward causing the river to
cut away the banks than anything
else did. Accordingly a -letter was
written to Congressman Robert E.
Evans asking him to intercede and
request the War Department to in
struct the officers on government
boats' ,;ot avoid the banks as much as
possible along the townsite.
Following is the reply from tho
War" Department received by Mr.
Evans:
. WAR DEPARTMENT
United States Engineering Office.
Kansas Ci,ty, Mo., Mar. 1, 1920.
Subject: Erosion of the bank in vi
cinity of Dakota City, Nebraska.
Hon. Robert E. Evans, M. C,
Washington, D. (J.
Dear Sir: '
1. Your letter of the 25th inst., re
questing that Government boats
avoid the Nebraska shore opposite
Dakota-City, has been received.
2.. Our records show that since July
1, 1918, the point in question has
been passed by Government boats
only nine times. The project for
work for the coming year will, under
most favorable conditions call for
only two ipassages by Government
boats at this point.
3. I believe that the alleged dam
age caused to the banks of the stream
Is greatly overestimated by the resi
dents at Dakota City. Even if ero
sion Were aggravated the effect
would be very slight and not to be
compared in any way with the effects
caused by the river current Itself In
its natural flow.
4. Navigation on the unimproved
sections of the Missouri river is diffi
cult and dangerous at the best, and
especially the river ubove Kansas
City. Boats In order to navigate at
all must seek the main channel.
This main channel, and on the upper
river tho only navigable channel, is
generally along ino concave or cut
ting bank or bend. The deep water
is generally near the bank and when
the water is very' deep the channel
is very narrow. A boat cannot stand
out a great distance from the con
cave bank without grounding In the
shallow water opposite.
G. It is impossible to direct boats
to avoid the Nebraska shore at Da
kota City In any way except by dis
continuing snogging operations and
river improvement on the upper riv
er. However, the master of tho
"Mandan," tho only Government boot
operating above Kansas City, will bo
directed to ease by cutting' banks as
much as possible while paying due
attention to thu safety of his boat.
Very respectfully,
(Signed R, T. WARD,
Major, Corps of Engineers.

County School Notes
Teachers' anil Patrons' Questions ltd-
nth c to School Matters Answered.
Ques. I understand that. tho dato
for the first eighth .grade eximlna-
tion was changed Is that truer
Ans. -The eighth grade amhvi-
,tlon dato was recently changed f ram
to come on tho 'former date, making
the examinations interfere with
church functions. Another reason
for changing the dato was that The
North Nebraska Teachers' association
will meet at Wayne, April 1,2, and 3.
Ques. Where will the eighth grade
pupils take their examinations?
Ans. They will take their exam
inations in the grammar grade tooitjj
of any school in tho towns of this
county. Pupils finding it more con
venient to take their examinations in
Emerson, Watorbury, or Ponca my
do bo, if they will see to it that their
papers arc sent directly to Dakota
City by the one in chargo of tho ex
aminations. Since the now law io
quires that all examination papers
must be written under a number as
signed by tho county superintendent,
it will be necessary for those pupils
who wish to take their examinations
in Emerson, Waterbury or Ponca to
obtain a number before the examina
tion day. A pupil's name must not
appear on his examination papers, ac
cording to the new law.
Ques. Will the eighth graders who
tako tho county examinations bo ic
quired to take an examination in
bookkeeping?
Ans. Yes, bookkeeping is one of
tho fourteen subjects listed in tho
new law in which a proper grade must
he earned to obtain an eighth grddo
diploma.
Ques. When was tho law passed
that requires eighth graders to tako
bookkeeping?
Ans. It Was passed in April, IDI'J,
and went into eflect on the 19th Ji
of last July.
Ques. May seventh graders take
eighth grado examinations in such
subjects as they take in tho quarter
ly examinations?
Ana. Quarterly examinations benr
no relation whatever to tho eighth
grade examinations. llowover, a
seventh grade pupil may tako eighth
grade examinations in subjects in
which he has prcocrly ccmplotedtho
work outlined in tho coiu'se of study,
nnd shows that he understands these
subjects as well as a pupil of his age
and grado can reasonably bo expect
ed to understand them. No effort
should bo made to hurry pupils of
this grade through a subject to got
tho subject out of the way. Gram
mar grade subjects are too important
in meeting the needs of later life
to pass them lightly in order to get
through with them or to got In tho
high school.
Ques. Will the grades thut seventh
grado pupllb earn hold over for next
year?
Ans. Any grades of at least 80 per
cent that a seventh grade pupil
earns in subjects in which ho has
completed tho course of study are
permanent grades. They may no
used at any time towards tho com
pletion of tho eighth grade, provided
that the grades havo been earned on
questions issued by a state depart
ment of education and the pupil'?
papers graded under the supervision
of a county superintendent.

The annual meeting of tho County
Puro-Brcd Llvo Stock association was
held Tuesday of last weok. Mr. C.
S. Buckley was re-elected president

organization decided favorablo to co
operate with the Farm Buronu in
carrying on, with tho Stato College
and U. S. Department of Agriculture,
tho "Better Llvo Stock Crusade."
This consists of enrolling farmers'
and others who agreo to use puro
bred sires only. Tho association also
offered valuable assistance to- the
Fafm Bureau in outlining tho pio
gram'for tho Pure-Bred Shorthorn

and girls. Full details of this club
will appear next week, Cvory bny

making arrangements for boys to
own a heifer on their own note if
they do not have tho money with
which to buy. If interested write
the County Agent rt once.
Emr s n precinct lccently held a
very iiu csting Farm Bureau moot
ing at L. Nacora bank. project
work for tho presont yoar was dis
cussed with tho result that a sweet-
clover growing project will bo con
ducted by Mr. John Bondcrson , who
believes that by incrcasinc tho for
tuity of his soil in this way and oy
growing corn in a shorter rotation,
lhat ho can increase, in n shott tlmo,
his yields of tho crop. This demon
stration should prove very profitable.
V demonstration for tho "dr" treat
ment for grain smut will bo conduct
ed on tho Wm. Roll do form, iust lo
foro seeding. This method has prov
en superior to tho old wet method.
Mr. Rohde will also demonstrate this

homo grown seed potatoes. Mr Pe

vantages of rolling small grain when
G to 8 inches high with a corrugated
roller. Especially in dry yeara,
much is claimed for this practico.
A gopher demonstration was planned
for the Johfl JBondorson farm, and

M. E. Clinrch Notes
Rev. S. A. Drolse, Pastor
"Signs of Progress.''" ,
Three more, out of the thirty-four
whom wo havo been looking to see
at church, came last Sunday.
Somo aro gotting courage to come
twice tho samo day. Eleven people
besides tho proachor havo a doublo
record for last Sunday. Wo had just
began to think tho samo sormon
would bo all right for .both services,
but not when folks began to act like
thot. Tho old saying, "People make
their preacher," Is truo still. If
they want him to bo lazy just lot
them stay at home on Sunday and he
will attend to tho rest.
Como on, tho preacher will show
vou good sport If you try to beat
him on that game. May bo you never
hoard of tho "barrel."
Somo now faces, in Sunday school
last Sunday, nnd more next Sunday,
Tho 80 mark was passed, but the 100
mark is ahead. , ,
Easter Sunday will be "Join the
church" day, this year. jEverybody
may have a part.jin ,the, program who
desires." Why not? ' Why should I
bo an active church member? The
noblest and strongest characters the
world has ovor known have been ear
nest Christians". The church is tho
visible means by which1 God has es
tablished tho Kingdom of Righteous
ness. Directly or indirectly all
Christian influences have come from
tho organized church. I would not
care to llvo or bring up my children
in a placo where no church existed.
If everyone should follow the exam
ple of the non-church member, there
would bo no church.
It is selfish for mo to expect to
have tho benefits of tho church while
I am refusing to identify myself with
tho church. I need tho church and
tho church needs me, therefore I
should join it and do all in my power
to establish its influence in the com
munity. Tho Son of God, gave his. life .to
redeem me, and invites me ,to join
with him In, saving the world,'
