In connection with the discussion
Of the commission system as compar-
ed with the old government by mayor
and city council, R. H. Proudfoot,
chairman of the Mandan city COM
mission, writes an article of con-
siderable length for the Fargo News,
to refute some of the statements that
have been made regarding Mandan's
experience with the commission. Mr..
Proudfoot finds that the work in
all departments of city government
is better done under the commission,
that the funds expended by the city
bring better results, that records are
better kept, and that the public
works are put in for far less than the
best figures obtainable by contract.
Mr.. Proudfoot does not argue that
any system will bring about good re-
suits with inferior men. out he be-
lleves that with a good average CT
Iublic officials, better results can be
obtained under a system that fixes
responsibility closer, and puts all
members Of t'.e governing body on
the same footing. Mr.. Proudfoot's
article is interesting and VOL worth
reading as showing what the Mandan
city commission has done.

up all these old cases.
The first case called for trial was
the Beach Land and Loan Company
vs.. George A. ferley and A. H. p.
Arps for some $270O commission on
land sale. The plaintiff claims they
could have sold the land but the de-
PENDANTS stepped in and sold before
they had an opportunity and sold it
to the party they we're figuring with.
The defendants claim that the
plaintiffs failed to sell at time agreed
on and they had to act to save them
selves financial loss by stepping in
and selling the land. The jury call
ed in the case is E. E. Taisey, Cum

We had her once, shy and lovely creature %
I think 1t was last year-her every feature
Was rarely beautiful her blue
Belize the Skies and there sprinkled through
Her hair the lilac flowers, the cherry blooms
she delicate with soft perfumes
Distilled feld and where her feet
But touched the turf soft and green and sweet;
But for year she's been awning
Have YOU any who looked like Spring?
We had her but somewhere she has flown
To whereabouts exceedingly unknown,
though plead with her to come-aack!
She's in huff and not back
The buds and flowers all wait for her, the
brown until her footballs
Across the hills the meadow arks still,
melancholy lies plain and hill
Nor flowers will bloom will the robins sing
Oh melancholy We wait
lift the latch that holds the
still she smile from
Would swell the bud and make the stir,
Would leaf the would bring the robins note
From the bleak trees and swell the birds throat
On branch and still, till all along
Would be symphony of flower and
And still she waits afar and will not sing
YOU anything that looks like spring?

It is very evident that a spirited
contest was had in Minot where the
commission plan for government of
cities was adopted by the narrow ma
jority Of twelve. To be sure the COM
mission plan is still an experiment,
but SO far as can be judged, candidly
and without prejudice, it is an i'm
provement over the old system. TAX
ing Bismarck as ereterion, no man
in this city made correct prediction
of the result of the election In the
appointments, no factor has control
ed. 1t is mix-up. No one man
nosfaction can control the acts Of the
five men elected as president and
commissioners of Bismarck. And
while the benefits under this system
depend largely upon the character,
independence and Judgment of the
men selected on the commission,
there is direct responsibility that
cannot help but affect favorably the
acts Of the men chosen to admins
ter the affairs of the city.
The Tribune, as an original advo-i
cate OF the system, and without am
bitfon Tor reward or recognition,
feels justified in predicting-allow-
ing for all ordinary conditions and

KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM.

AAAAA/A AANA OOA - Wv AAAI II AAASASAs
The Outlook magazine publishes
an interesting quotation showing
what a Kansas farmer does to keep
his boys on the farm. Knowing that
the city has attractions hard to be
resisted, he has set up counter at
fractions. The chief one is co-opera-
ton, partnership.
The farmer whose experiment is
described is Charles Kirkland of
Salina, Kan. He owns $50 acres six
miles from Salina. He has three
boys, 16, II and years of age, and
three girls. In the winter the fam
lily lives in town on account of the
school facilities and to enjoy the
social life. OF course this feature
is one that few farmers can initiate,
but it is not so important as the CO.
operative factor. Indeed, if the ap-
peal of this latter argument were
not powerful, the boys would look
forward in dread to the return to the
country, and the winter in town
would spoil them for the summer on
the farm. 1t doesn't, in this case,
however, for the entire family looks
forward joyously to the spring and
the return to the soil.
The Kirkland family is described
as pure democracy in which every
member is citizen, with the rights
and privileges of citizenship. Ever
since they have been old enough to
be- interested in any way the chill
dren have had some share, however
small, in the farm. Each has some
thing he can call his own. Mr.. Kirt-
land has ''toted fair" with his chill
dren. If they were not old enough
to exercise judgment as to money or
property, they were properly credit
ed on the books. When they arrived
at proper age, they were given the
management of their own share,
which not only provided business and
farming education, but created an
honest self-interest that is wedding
those children to farm life.
Last year, the two older boys, hav-
ing accumulated some capital from
their share of the farm produce, rent
ed an adjoining forty acres, using
the family teams to break the ground
and paying the father a fair price
for their use. They bought seed |
wheat and paid for the threshing. |
The venture netted these lads of IA |
and 16 nice profit of $780, They did
this without neglecting their home
work or their schooling, and this !
year they say they will do better |
still.
The 6-year-old lad last year bought |
with his savings two baby pigs. He |
fed them daily with his little pail |
filled at the farm separator, and a
little while ago when Kirkland sold a |
bunch of hogs, the boys two fatten-
ed swine brought SIS, which went |
on the little fellows handbook.
That farmer is going to keep his
boys on the farm because he is go
ing about it in the right way.

WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA.


A description of the Australian belle
reads not unlike that which calumni-
ators are wont to ascribe to the Chi
cago girl. They are said to be, though
pretty. tall and well formed, not grace
full. Her feet are seldom small, her hands
rarely beautiful. Moreover, she does not
dress well. Her toilet has nore of the
chic of the Parisienne's and little of
the so5riety of the Englishwoman's
Overdressed or dowdy, she produc the
impression not only of having little
taste. but no artistic sense of the fitness
of things. Stylish and elegant women
are to be seen more frequently in Mel
bourne than elsewhere.
Nevertheless, dress is dear to the soul
of an Australian. and much is spent
upon it. Down in the lowest social
grades dress pays most important
part. The Australian hugs the idea of
equality. and believing in uniformity
OF dress as the visible sign thereof,
often sacrifices actual comfort to OBJ
tain fashionable clothing. An Aus
tralan family makes brave show on
holidays. There may be bare feet and
rags in the house. but there are cheap
feathers and gloves in the street.

from a point of view which does net

Attention, coloeed people! Blanks

your hair and make 1t silky, soft. pliable
and beautiful
Then follow instructions for the
use accompanied by the guarantee of
harmlessness, and by other statements
calculated to encourage the application
OF the preparation. But the sign is not
what draws the colored people to the
window and causes them to remain
there with admiring gaze. The bottom
Of the show window is piled high with
black hair in the natural state. There
is enough to make a good beginning
with a mattress. Above are exhibits of
what Blanks take-out-kink" can do.
Switches and bangs and braids and
other forms of black hair. soft ard
glossy and wavy, are shown in strong
contrast with the raw material under
meath. The sight is temptation. Col
ored pastors of Washington have dis
covered that the fashion to expert
ment with "take-out-kink" is sweeping
through their congregations. They are
denouncing from the pulpit in vigorous
language the wickedness Of trying TO
