industries that has been given life
this year. The Drayton Sheep and
Wool Growers association has Just
been organized with a membership
of twenty Of the most prominent
farmers in the southwestern section
of Pembina county. All of them are
sheep owners and plan additions to
their present holdings in short
time. 49,, ...-
This association has affiliated with
the Minnesota Sheep and Wool
Growers association gaining by such
afiliation a great number of advant-
ages. The; purpose of the organiza-
tion is to secure better prices for the
wool product, it being the plan of the
members to sell their entire wool
product in one shipment.
~ Another thing the farmers of that
community have taken an interest in
is the cooperative store. Eighty Of
the farmers of the district are inter-
ested in such store, and the same
will be opened for business within a
short time The farmers also have
their own elevator, the finest rural
telephones in the state and are pro-
gressive in every sense OF the word.
Drayton also has creamery which
provides market for the cream OF
the. Immediate vicinity and for many
miles in every direction.

the alleged asylum mystery. A
skeleton was found In a deserted
building. The following facts were
established: That it vas a woman;
that she was a patient of the old
asylum; that her body had lain
where found a long time; that the
asylum authorities could not posi-
lively establish her identity.
The last fact afforded full oppor-
tunity for the imagination of the
reporter to roam. Where facts
failed fancy interviewed and forged
the links in the chain of circum-
stances leading to murder. Where
careful deduction would evolve
natural death, fancy insisted upon
foul play, and a story of violent
death was built up.
l may be coming to the wrong
source for light upon this tendency
to preach violence, for your paper
dealt with the matter from the
standpoint of common sense. You
might, however, be able to assist my
old mind to reach the conclusion

is confined to but few papers, and
that sanity and conservatism hold

DEER SLAUGHTER
IN NEW JERSEY

DAYS of open season this month. 1t is the policy of the State to
preserve it's game deer. For that purpose a close season of five
years was maintained until the species could increase and multi
ply and permit of a short open season without danger of extermi-
nation. How many deer were killed in the State is unknown.
That information should be in possession of the Fish and Game
Commission, and it would be practicable for the commission to
ret it. There would have been a much greater killing if the law
permitted the tracking of deer with dogs, and some pothunters
in South Jersey are talking of having a bill introduced in the
Legislature for that purpose. OF course, it will be strangled. In
course of time, with the increase of population, the picturesque
wild deer will share the fate of the Indian, but while there are
forest recesses for them to hide in let them be preserved by law
in reasonable numbers, for they are part of the poetry of the State.

set in to make that part of Newarks great thoroughfare what it

attract trade until the idea of illumination was adopted. That
device has atoned for the years of inertia. 1t has opened a new
era for that section. In a few years the oldfashioned buildings
which waste so much space in the air that would be valuable for
floor space and present such a dingy appearance on the street will
be swept away and replaced by ornate structures. The future

I believe that the company which

A NAVAL REVOLUTION
To BE EFFECTED

in subordinate positions before he can reach even a captaincy.
The principal positions in the navy are occupied by officers of three
score years or more. All the bureau chiefs at Washington are
men in the "sere and yellow leaf Advancing years make them
conservative. They do not like innovations and are not friendly
to new ideas. They are welded to routine and detail. So the
navy department has been in rus for years, and has had Il poor
organization. The secretary of the navy is always a civilian, and
it is, therefore, necessary for him to act upon advice, but he has
had no responsible advisers. and there has been no connection be
tween the construction and equipment of the navy and its opera
tion. These defects of organization are now to be remedied.
The navy secretary is to have four official advisers, who are to
be officers in active service; bureaus are to be consolidated and
their duties better apportioned. A greatly improved administra.
ton of the navy may now be looked for, with the barnacles re-
moved and with the operation of our fleets directed by officers in
active service and in the prime of life.

. UphoIds Public Service.

To the Editor of the Star:
Mr.. Editor-I am a lover OF fair
ness in all debate. This %proneness
to the square deal induces me to re-
ply to some OF the Public Service
critics. They complain of the lack
of cars, and again OF the type of
cars
Answering the first criticism, l
beg leave to assert that If more
cars were run on our principal
streets all other classes of vehicles
would be driven elsewhere. The
company is maintaining a schedule
which calls for the passing and re-
passing of approximately 100 cars
an hour at Broad and Market. This
steady stream of cars is maintained
from 6 in the morning until about 5
in the evening.
Would you have the number IN
creased? IT SO, then prepare to
abandon the use of your streets to
the company. The remedy is no to
be had in more cars. If our city is
to grow, we must grow with 1t. We
must do as they are doing in the

A burglar bored seventeen holes
in the rear door of a Newark store
recently and was then frightened
away before he could put them to
any use. The holes were long and
each represented n great deal of
patient industry. 1t Is impossible not
to feel sorry for this poor thief.
Not that we condone his habits.
Far be 1t from such. But when a
man loses that for which he has
been earnestly working a long time,
even though his calling Is a COM
paratively lowly one, we confess to
a feeling of sympathy. And, after
all, is not industry always COM
mendable? Ha! We fooled you.
You thought we would say: 1T IL
not" but we have signed a pledge
to say that again. To get
back to the disappointed first-story
man, sympathy is dashed with pity
at his amateurish work in boring
seventeen holes, when seven might
have been enough. Evidently he
was not a good thief. Oh, yes, in
deed, there ere good thieves! Many
OF them. and some great ones Not
all of them work with augers
and search-lights, however. When
some Of these latter get too good
they are sent tesaS FEDERAL home
