To Represent All the People.

Cogswell Enterprise: Older states
have found it a good policy to elect
their congressman to the senate when
a change was necessary. Congressman
Marshall has been member of the
house for eight years and has a record
Of which any man might we'll feel proud.
If change is to be made in North
Dakota, who is better qualified than
"Our Tom" to represent all the people
Of this great commonwealth?

A. o. u. w. Insurance.

A. o. u. w. Insurance.
DR.. H. P. Boardman In North Dakota Workman
E. ]. Moore, Grand Recorder.
Dear Sir and Brother: I have been
paying on the level rate plan in the
Workmen for about two and one-half
years, but for the sake of convenience
will figure on a basis of four years.
I do this to make comparison between
the Workmen and two old line policies
that have of $1,000. On one Of them
I pay an annual premium of 1924. .95,
and ON the other $221.05. These pol
icies have been running four years and
on the first named have paid 1888. 80;
ON the latter $884.2O. The loan value
on the first is $53s.O5, and on the latter
only $255.oo.
How do these figures compare with
the Workmen plan? Well, we will do
q little figuring and compare the result.
do not know the exact number of
assessments for the past three years
but presume that there were about
eight per year. My rate in the Work
men is $6.18 each assessment and for
eight assessments I would pay $49.44,
making the cost for four years s197. 76.
Reducing these amounts to equal
terms we find these figures: For the
Workmen per thousand for the four
years $3.50 and the old line for the
same time and amount we have $185. 90
and $4,000 respectively. .r--
A comparison of the loan values
shows: Workmen, for the four years,
$7s per thousand; for the old-line COM
panies, $1O1.OO and $500 respectively.
One can see at a glance that the
Workmen, especially for person Of
small means, is the proper insurance.
It is just as safe as the old-line COM
panies; it has all of the reserve feat.
ures of the old-line companies and is q
far safer investment, for the 40. u. w.
is Incorporated under thelaws of North
Dakota and the state has supervision
of its affairs.
It is a certificate of worth and value.
You can borrow money on it the same
as you can on an old-line policy. Where
is there another fraternal insurance
association of which you can borrow on
your policy? If you quit paying on your
level rate certificate in the Workmen
your certificate still has some value.
Where is there another fraternal Ger.
tificate that has any value in it aftel
you cease paying assessments? It il
not on my list.
Fraternally yours,
H. P. Boardman, NJ. D.,

parents, students and teachers. From
this standpoint of economics the BEST
is the cheapest, and this city, in order
that it may take its place as an educa-
tional center in the educational system
of the state must have a system of
schools which stands at the top of the
list of accredited high schools. This
status of our schools will boost our
city and country. Make the school the
talking point in trying to land people
in this section Of the state. The high
school inspector, who was here last
week, paid high compliment to the
board of education, citizens, students
and teachers on the conditions of our
schools. He examined all grades Of
the high school department and p1o-
nounced all departments in an enthus-
iastic state and progress. He stated
that the report was excellent except
our reference library, supplementary
reading, physical, chemical and botan-
ical equipments and all these weaknesses
will be strengthened by an ample sup
ply of all. He emphatically endorsed
our doctrine that 1--WE can not do some-
thing with nothing" which is as true in
the school as in any other line Of
activity
The grade book the last month has
been issued, showing the record of
each child's work. We request parents
to examine these reports carefully, sign
and return them the following morning.
Examine their attendance and applica-
ton before looking at the grades.
These two features often explain a
students standing without further
trouble.
The attendance and punctuality in all
departments have been good but we
desire to eliminate all tardiness and
absence as it will be more conducive to
good results. Make it your business to

SEWERS CONSIDERED AT HEAR
 ING.

Residents of Parmelee Avenue Are Divided on Question of Their Needs,
 The four republican members of the aldermanic committee on sewers and squares held a public hearing last night and Frank J, Rice appeared before the committee and urged that sewer be put in on Parmalee avenue. He said the conditions existing after a rain were very bad and that the sewer was an absolute necessity.
 A gentleman appearing for John A. Hor-e stated that the street was two blocks long and had seventeen houses on both sides. He said eighty people lived in these houses.
 Charles H. Pabor appeared for his wife, who is large property owner on the street. and objected to the sewer. He claimed that the drainage of the street was good and sewer was un- necessary.
 Frank c. Alderman. also objected to the sewer.
 Jacob Greenberg spoke in favor of a sewer on Scranton street, between Day and Waverly street. There was no ob- jection either to this petition or that of the Winchester Repeating Arms com pany for a sewer in Mason street. be- tween Sheffield avenue and Mansfield street.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN. "

Presentation at New Haven Theater Last Night--Fairly Good, But Not as
 of Tore.
 "The Gingerbread Man." which was booked to have appeared here earlier in the season, but did not turn up, made it's debut at the New Haven the ater last night before good house. Had the weather been more favorable it is safe to predict that the audience would have been very large one. But what was wanting in numbers last night was amply made up by the en- thusiasm displayed. The company was not as large or as powerful as it might nave been, yet, taking all things into consideration, the performance was a very average one, and if the applause bestowed on the various members of the company when they appeared is to be counted upon as a sign of approval, then "The Gingerbread Man. must be counted a success.
 Madge Lawrence as Mdzle, a cohlec- tioner's salesgirl, who was transform ed by an evil genius into a sugar plum and into @ princess, is famous for her beauty. Her song, That Beautiful Land of Bonbon," was the song hit of the evening, Others in the cast are Winlfred Florence, Fred J. Nice, Dan
 Young, Nellie c. Nice, Harry Bond.
 Willard Lewis, Helen Gray, H. M. Burnham, Maude Howe, Lillian Harris and George Hoey, jr. Moon Moon" by Jack Horner, was another hit of the evening.
 The scenery and dresses were very fine, and while the Gingerbread Man
 was perhaps not as crisp as when he
 was first baked, yet he was fresh enough to pass the approval of the au- dience.
