has prepared data proving con-

in Texas can live cheaper than

COMPANY TO CUT
STOCK IN half
Citizens National Life Stock-Hold-
ers So Decide.

The stockholders of the Citi-
zens' National Life Insurance
Company decided at their an
nual meeting yesterday to reduce
their capital stock from 81, 500 =
600 to $3.50, 600, to conform to a
recommendation of the insurance
commissioners of Mississippi,
Alabama, Tennessee and Ken
lucky. The stockholders also
elected thirty-six directors, max
ing seven changes in the direc-
torate. At the directors meet
ing officers were elected, headed
by Charles ID. Pearce as presi-
dent. Mr.. Pearce had acted as
president since resignation of w.
H. Gregory, Dec. 7th, when the
Gregory brothers sold their hold
ings to the interests represented
by him. Mr.. Pearce's election
was unanimous, and the vote to
reduce the capital stock was all
but unanimous. Only 2O3 shares
were voted against the PROPOSE
ton, while the vote in favor
represented 1OO,873! shares, as
announced after the tabulation.
Two or threa thousand shares
were afterward voted in favor
of the resolution to cut down the
capital stock, but these were not
officially counted, as they were
not needed. The outstanding
capital stock is 1873. 533 shares,
and the two-thirds vote necessa-.
ry to carry the proposition was
only 80, OPS shares.

EDUCATION Is POWER

We have often heard it said
that education is power, but it
had never dawned upon our mind
until recently" how truthful
this saying is.
Education is the key that I'M
locks the door of opportunities
for men and women, and with
out the education they are unable
to grasp the opportunities even
though they are presented by the
thousands. Noperson can secure
and hold their position long, that
is higher than their qualifications
call for, and as it is the amount
of education a person has that
qualities them for the various
positions, it is necessary that we
educate and qualify ourselves
for the positions in life we eX-
pect to fill, or we will never be
able to fill them.
What kind of position are you
educating yourself or children
for? Do you wish for them to
grow up in ignorance so they
will only be able to work as some
one else directs? Ordoyou want
them to be qualified to attend
to any kind of business they may
happen to be interested in?
1t is the educated person that
climbs. Had Abraham Lincoln
been content to grow up in ig-
norance he probably would never
have have been known outside of
his immediate neighborhood1
Had James A. Garfield been con-
tent with only knowing how to
cipher and write his name no
doubt but what he would have
followed the pillow all his life. |
But they were not content to
grow up in ignorance and as a
result of their discomfort, and
desire for knowledge they were
able to climb from the position |
Of rail-splitter and plow-boy to
that of Presidant of the United
States.
In this country and in this day |
men are not born great, but
greatness is achieved by those
who qualify themselves and
strive for it.
The men who hold positions
If honor in both our state and
rational governments, did not get

No Real Shrinkage.

directors explained after the
meeting that the reduction of
the capital stock by one-half
does not represent any actual
shrinkage of values. The auth
orized issue of capital stock is
10000 shares of the par value
is $40. According to the resolu-
ton reducing the capital stock
the par value of each share is
now S., but each So share, with
the surplus which it represents,
is now worth just as much as a
$40 share was worth before the
insurance commissioners refused
to allow certain investments to
be carried on the books as assets.
In other words, the reduction is
a bookkeeping transaction, pure
ly.

SPEAKER at 1FahC LOmcrr0W Night,
THE idea TO use. the public. school
buildings as social centers-as common
ground on which men and women can
meet for study of common interests
and for acquaintance and human fell
lowship, absolutely without heed to the
prejudices and class distinctions which.
in all other activities Of life, tend to
keep them apart-was not original with
Ward; it arose. among our grandr1
fathers in the little red schoolhouse of
generations ago. But Ward recalled it
and established it i'm a modern city"
The lecture will cover a multitude of
ideas all of which tend to make the
public school the center of social life
and promulgates interest in civic life
which tends to elevate the standard
of citizenship and develops a keener
interest in civic Improvement and
higher municipal and social conditions.
Democracy in the schools is an idea
advocated by this great teacher to
whom a Fargo audience will have the
