WANTS A COMMISSION
Attorney c. G. DosIand Wants Change
in Form of Government of
Moorhead.

"No have not one item of good
news for The Forum today said At
torney Dosland when called upon as
usual this morning. But, / wish you
would do one thing, and it is, launch
an agitation in favor of a commission
form of government with a recall pro-
position attached to 1t, The method
of finding out the will of all the peo-
pie is not cumbersome. An amend
ment to the charter could be submitted
to the people in the usual way and if
the bulk of the taxpayers approved of
the proposition or the reverse would
end the controversy
"The DIRECTORS would likely be the
professional politicians. but I think in
the end that they would welcome the
change as it would remove city politics
from the zone of county and state
politics and there is no denying that
city affairs, more or less, are a factor
in lining up politics for the county and
state
Under any circumstances l should
like to see the aldermen of the city
elected at large-the ward system has
a tendency to keep young and pro-
gressive blood off the council. If we
had the commission plan in Moorhead
we could make the commissioners
boosters for the city as well as admin
istrators Of the municipal business"

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-Wheat bears
last night looked upon the advance
as largely muscular. They said that
the bull leaders had bought through
a new set Of brokers and that they
were going contrary to the news and
to the general inclination OF the mar
ket. Some Of the bear houses refused
to express any opinion on the market
last night, saying that it was use
less. PIT observers who followed the
trend Of the trade all day said that
southwest drought news was respon-
sible for the advance. one Of the larg
est traders in the southwest having
sent buying orders here for July. This
induced a few local professionals to
take hold and the market being over
sold the pit shorts were scared into
covering. 1t was the theory Of the
bulls that should they he able to
maintain values around the present
level until after the turn of the New
Year a better consumptive demand
will develop and until there Is a gen
eral break in the southwestern drought
prices are looked for to sell lower.

Grain Opinions.

Shearson Hammill & Co: Drought
conditions in the southwest will con-
tinue to be a sustaining wheat price
factor and unless relief comes soon t
win develop into a powerful bull in
fluence. This would be emphasized by
the concentrated holdings of very fay.
orable sort on the part of influential
people.
Clement Curtis & Co: We see no
Particular drift at present in the wheat
market but think scalping operations
within a cent will prevail. Corn is
still subject to daily receipts.
Ware and Leland: The wheat mar
ket developed into a weather PROPOSE
tion and that will be the governing
factor for the time being.

on wheat crop damage news, although
we look for an early return of selling

DEMONSTRATIONS
AT The INSTITUTE
TODAY HAS BEEN A MOST INTER
EsTING ONE TO THE RURAL
BOYS AND GIRLS AT THE BIG
INSTITUTE - DEMONSTRATION
IN PRACTICAL LINES.

Today has been one OF the most in
teresting to the boys and girls of
North Dakota who are attending the
institute for rural school children that
is being held at the Agricultural col
lege this week. Demonstrations along
practical lines have been most yalu-
able instruction to the youngsters.
This morning during the first period
Professor Randlett, the head of the
institute, talked to the boys on Corn
varieties Suitable for Different Parts
Of North Dakota. He dealt with the
flint and dent varieties and told the
lads under what climatic conditions
and in what kinds of soils these would
best be grown in this state.
During the second period of the
morning Supt t. A. Hoverstad in
terested the joint gathering of the
boys and girls with talk on poultry
raising. He spoke of the different
kinds of chickens that could best he
raised in North Dakota and some of
the methods for propogating them.
At the last period in the morning
Professor Palmer told of some methods
in handling cattle and demonstrated
the same at the cattle barn. He in
dicated the fine points of the beef cat
tie and the dairy cattle and the
demonstration with the animals was
most interesting.
From 100 until o'clock this after
noon Dean Shepperd gave a demon
stration to the boys on horses. He
took the lads from the country to the
equestrian barns, where he showed
them the many fine, points of the ami
mails as they were to be bred for
coach, roadster or draft horses, and
most simply explained some of the
forms used in conducting stock rails
ing methods with the horse.
After 8 o'clock the children were
taken to the gymnasium. where they
were allowed to play indoor baseball.
This game was played the first after
noon Of their arrival in the city and
1t proved so highly interesting that
two games are now being played.
This evening from 80 to $3.50 DR..
Bell of the zoology department of the
A. G.. will give the children lecture
on the birds of North Dakota. The
talk will be illustrated with q stere
opticon and it should prove moss in
teresting to the youths.
During the first period this morning
and the first period this afternoon the
girls were doing some domestic science
work Practical instruction was given
them in cooking during one of these
periods and sewing was taken up dur
ing another
The classes are proving highly in
teresting, and Professor Randlett, who
has charge of them, has had repeat
ed requests to allow spectators to
watch the children at their work. ana
has refused no one. The enthusiasm
of the children and the sight Of their
work is SO interesting that he has in
vited the general public to visit any
and all the classes.
