The Library Association Meets.

A meeting of the Library As
ISOLATION was held in the Public
Library Wednesday afternoon.
The mem bers present were en-
thusiastic over the work of the
Library and the prospect for the
future. It was decided to hold
an election of officers on the first

er a member of the library or
not is invited to be present
The Library having moved into
it's new quarters will begin a
series of entertainments on Fri

The Library room in the City
Hall is quite an attractive place
and the association wishes the
people to remember that it is a
public library and that each one
should take a personal interest
in it.
Friday evening at eight o'clock
will be given quite a unique en-
tertainment "a sox party" A
number of sox" have been dis
tributed over the city, but if you
have not received one bring your
pennies with you and you will
find one awaiting you at the
door. Put in the 'sox" as many
copper cents as the size hose
that you wear, and bring them
to the Library Friday evening.
An attractive program will be
given through the evening.
Everyone in Columbu is invited
and it is hoped that all will be
present Friday evening at eight.

The large number Of threshing outfits
that pass us on the trains bound for
Manitoba and the other Northwestern
provinces excites the attention Of all who
have the opportunity Of seeing the trains
daily. By the courtesy of the customs
officials we have figures that show the
value and the approximate number OF
these machines that have gone. across
the line at Pembina and Neche since the
bebinning of the year. The total value
Of the threshers and engines that have
been entered for export for the year from
January to July, inclusive, is S4S7, ,519.0O
The figures for August are not yet made
up, but if made the same as in Julv
(S159, ,8S91 the total would be s647, ,4Os.
These outfits show very nearly an ap.
proximate value each OF $1,000, which
would make the total number exported
1924. AS these Canadian provinces also
use great many machines manufactured
on their own side of the line, which they
can buy free OF duty, it proves that the
great northwest is rapidly developing
and incidentally that we share on this
side of the line in the benefits Of that de.
velopment.

Meantime Chicago especially and a

are suffering from the unions. No man
cares to build a manufacturing establish

UNDo1NG HALLAND's WORK.

A new course Of study for the eight
years work in the common schools oi
the state will probably be ready for pre-
sentation to the consid of the
county superintendent of the state at
their next meeting in December. The
special committee upon the revision OF
the course of study has just completed
its meeting with State Superintendent
Stockwell, the work has been mapped
out and divided, and the committee has
agreed upon the non-essentials that can
be eliminated and the new work that can
be added with benefit to the schools.
Each member of the general committee
has been assigned one or two branches
for revision. and will call to his assist
ance the specialists at the different state
educational institutions. As the work is
divided, Supt. Stockwell will revise the
courses in civics and United Stetes hist
ory; Supt. Paulson of Walsh county will
revise the courses in reading ard spell.
ing; Supt. Barnes of Barnes county will
have arithmetic and writing; Supt. Alex.
ander, of Pembiua will take language and
grammar; Supt DISCARD of Nelson will
take geography, apd Supt. Croker OF
Ransom will revise the new course in
agriculture and assist with other work.
The question OF teaching the science
of agriculture in the common schools of
the state is one that has been discussed
for some time among educators, and the
preparation Of a manual in this study is
more to show the teachers what can be
done than for the immediate education
Of pupils. 1t is expected to prepare a
manual in this branch of work, and bring
it before the summeS schools of the state
another year, when it is hoped to obtain
the aid ofspecial lecturers from the agri.
cultural college to instruct the teachers
in how best to educate the children along
scientific agricultural lines.
The report OF the general committee
and the revision of the different courses
are expected to be in the hands of the
state superintendent by December, and
the newYcourse will be issued in time for
the school work next year.lN Nahpeton

UNION VS.. UNION.

"A writer in current monthly shows
up the working Of the retail coal dealers
and coal teamsters' union in 3 Chicago.
Formerly, these had two unions which
fought each other. Now they have unit.
ed and together fight the consumer. No
man; but member ofthis union can haul
a ton of coal through the streets of Chi.

and team both belong to him. This I'm.

establishments of Chicago, OF which Mar
shal Field & Co. is an example, to tear
out the natural gas pipes and fixtures
that they used in the summer for heat
light and motor power, and use coal.

ing disgrace to civilization.
During the last year or more, the word
massacre" has become almost stale
from its constant REPETITION in the teleg-
raphic news from Turkey. During the
last two or three months the news from
that benighted land have been Of the aw.
full. Now there is insurrection. From
past history that means the massacre Of
more Christians, with the other nations
OF Europe calmly looking on.
Turkey would have been wiped out Of
existence generations ago except for the
jealousy Of the nations of Europe. Be-
cause Turkey holds the key to. the Black
Sea, she is allowed to remain on the map
of Europe. Every other nation hates
Turkey, every other nation wants that
key, but every other nation prefers that
Turkey shall keep that key in preference

years Turkey has in some way commit

States. Last week it was reported that
a consul Of this country had been shot
there. This turned out to be false. the
consul was only shot at. This will no
doubt be settled by diplomacy. We have
no fear that we will have serious trouble
with Turkey. II Uncle Sam went to war
with Turkey, the rest Of Europe would
look on unconcerned, because we do not
want that key, and the Turks know it.
II they have war with any European nat-
