The entertainment which followed
was a huge success, surprising the ex-
pectations of all present, as it was not
generally known that such talent could
be brought together to take part.
Special mention is due to Mr.. and Miss
Soper, Mrs. Moore, Miss Gilbertson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spranger, MI. Newly and
Mrs. VIM. Kain who rendered so efficient,
ly their parts. The Rev. Stintsen from
Edmore gave a very able and appropriate
address for the occasion which the
young and old are not apt to forget in q

given by the scholars we're in each case
performed in a most satisfactory manner
rejecting great credit to their tutors.

The oldest, hide, fur and wool house
IN the Northwest is that of D. Bergman
d Company o fist. Paul. This firm began
business in a small way in 1867, and
which has gradually grown, until they
are now the largest house, in this line,
IN the Northwest. On account of the
enormous increase of their business it
was necessary to secure new quarters
and last year they erected in st. Paul
the largest, most modern, and best
equipped building for their line of bust
ness in the United States. They have
private trackage upon which five cars
can be loaded and un1oaded at the same
time, and the building has a capacity of
fifteen million pounds and is so con
structed that they can handle goods
promptly and at the smallest expense,
thus giving shippers prompt cash re-
turns and the highest market prices,
When shipping your hides, wool and
furs remember this, firm if you want tor
market prices and immediate cash re-
turns. Market letter and shipping tags
with fuH instructions for shipments will
be sent on request.

The Two Cent Rate In Practice.

1t is probably fortunate that there is
a difference in opinion as to the advis-
ability of making a fiat two cent rate
of fare on all the passenger railroads
Of the country. Local conditions vary
widely, according to density Of popula-
ton, closeness Of competition in the
territory and other factors in opera
ton. A rate which is profitable and
even increases business by it's cheap
ness in a populous region may be I'M
fair and unbusinesslike in q district
less favored.
1t is being argued that the two cent
rate long in existence on the New York
Central road has built up thriving
cities along the line. But this road al
ways had a very profitable carrying
business between the lakes and sea-
board to even up its low passenger
rates. What is wanted is q rate to en-
able the operating companies to live
and increase their facilities for serving
the public. Rate regulation should be
dealt with after due investigation of
the needs and conditions in N par
ticular stretch Of country involved.

Down Grade In the Army.

Uncle Sans military establishment
has come in for a good deal of home
criticism of late. Foreigners profess
to admire it, but perhaps their good
opinions are insincere. The worse our
army is the better for another army
that might go up against it. The Ar
my and Navy Journal recently can
vassed the subject and argued that
the current notion about low pay for
officers and men being at the bottom
of the deterioration which is alleged
is wrong. 1t also declares that the no
ton that West Point ideas are harm
full to the rank and file is without
foundation. About half Of the COM
pany officers, this paper asserts, are
promotions from the ranks or outsiders
who have w been to West Point.
Commenting upon this line of
thought, the New York Tribune thinks
that, while the army pay is fair, yet it
should be increased But the trouble
lies in Ae "undemocratic constitution
and methods Of the establishment, ac-
cording to this paper. 1t says, eff the
public could be convinced that there
were as free a career open in. the army
to talent and application as there is in
industrial and commercial pursuits
there would be no avoidance Of service
by youths Of ambition and energy"
Now, the Army and Navy Journal,
which champions the military side,
boldly asserts that democracy is at the
base of the evils which are being criti-
cised. The ambition to get some
thing by fair means or foul" invades
the ranks of the officers as well as Of
the enlisted men. While the enlisted
man seeks "to get out of doing things
that become a soldier the officer goes
one better and depends upon a "pulr'
to escape being disciplined. One rad
ical trouble, says the Journal, is that
the army is full Of boys. 1t would
place the age minimum at twenty-five
years instead of eighteen, as at pres
ent.
1t is a matter Of official admission
that the recruits who offer themselves
today are inferior to those of a few
years past. Perhaps the Tribune's ex-
PLANTATION that al army career is a mar
row one is correct. For a hustling
young American to shelve himself in
an army garrison is to wonder
among his fellow men. Chances for
promotion to the lower grade commits
| sions is less than one in a hundred
and for high command not one in ten
thousand. AS for adventure in time Of
peace, there is more of that in running
a cross country trolley car than in
! wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam.

The Germans, who believe in thor.
oughness, are about to put in opera
ton in Berlin a rule that no man shall
be permitted to drive on the streets of
that city without he has first demon
strated his fitness to do so. 1t is doubt
full whether the innovation will result
in any very marked diminution Of ac-
cidents. Observation teaches that it is
not incompetent drivers who are re.
sponsible for the mischief done in big
cities. Usually c~arelessness is at the
bottom Of the trouble, and the man
who knows how to drive is more APT
to be negligent when handling the
reins than the fellow who is new al
the business.
