One of the improvements asked for
by the trustees of the state hospital
for the insane at Jamestown in their
biennial report to the governor is the
construction of all electric railway line
from the city of Jamestown to the asy-
lunl. The estimated cost of such a
line is $40, 900, and it is claimed that
the outlay will be justified by reduction
of expenses of transportation of both
supplies and patients between the city
and the hospital. The electric railroad +,
however, is but one of the many i'm
provements asked by the board.
At the last session of the assembly
all appropriation of $25, 900 was made
for the erection of tubercular ward.
The amount was found inadequate when
calls for bids were made, and even with
the addition of $50, 900 transferred from
another fund, it was only found posi-
bic to erect a building TO care for a
part of the female inmates aft1icte,'
with tuberculosis, and one of the rec
concentrations in the present repor, asks
for all appropriation of $50 900 for the
erection of freproof building for tu-
bcrculous males.
DR.. l.. B. Baldwin. former superin-
tcndent, recommended that ST.. 600 be
appropriated for moving barns and
erecting new farm buildings. The NOV
ing was made necessary on account of
the proximity of the farm buildings to
the dwelling houses, thus creating an
unsanitary surrounding. Other improve
! n,ents asked for include a farm build
ing for SIP 900; al extension of the
assembly hall, $40, 900; extension to the
boiler house, s. 800; boiler house al
tcrations, 81 800; extension of the
sewer system, 81, $50; new laundry ma
chinery, $1,000; an abattoir, 81 800
and improvements to the grounds, ST.
| 500. The fuel bill for the coming BIZ
cnnial period is estimated at 1900.
Among the legislative recommended
lions is one increasing the amount
chargablc against counties for the care
| of their insane patients, from $40 to
SIG per month. claiming that if the law
is amended in this way it will do away
with the necessity of passing appropria-
tion bills for currency expenses at each
assembly. 1t is also recommended that
all act be passed whereby the supcrin-
tendent will be empowered to send to
the various counties after patients in
stead of their being brought by the
sheriff of the county from which they
are committed. 1t is also asked that
there be introduced bill making it a
misdemcanor for anyone to take intox-
icating liquor. narcotic or any other
habit form of indulgence, on the prem
iscs or into the buildings without the
consent of the superintendent.

compiled, covering the period up to
June 30, 1910, showed the number of

State Board Of Examiners
| Will be Provided For
District TreaSurereS are to
be Done Away with

AS a result of the labors Of the
school laws compilation commission
a bill was introduced in the house
Friday. byn Alsgaard Of Nelso
county. The bill provides fol
complete revision and readjustment
of the school laws Of the state. While
there are many of the laws now on
the statutes included, there are also
a number of important new provi
sions contained and a number of the
old laws. are to be dispensed with In
the interest of economy, efficiency
and expediency in the administra-
ton of school affairs.
The bill covers all phases and
branches of educational work in the
state.
There are no changes provided fol
in the manner of electing the state
superintendent, in his qualifications Of
the tenure of office. The state super
intendent of instruction shall receive
according to the bill, an annual sal
airy of $4,000, and also travelling ex
penses incurred in the discharge Of
his duty not to exceed 81 200 in any
! one year, these expenses to be pa1G
monthly upon the filing of monthly
itemized and verified statement. Ths
office assistance provided includes
deputy and an assistant, the latter's
duty to be in assisting the state sup
| erintendent in visiting schools, in.
stitutes, attending school officers
| meetings, and also perform such 9th
er duties as the superintendent may
direct. Such clerks as are necessary
in carrying on the work of the office
may also be hired.
The election of county superintend
enls shall be held at the same time
as other county officers are named
and for a term of two years as at
present. The qualifications for this
position are raised to slightly high
er standard. In counties having SO
ore more schools a deputy may be
added. and in counties having $50
or more schools deputy may be
pointed for each 100 schools or major
fraction thereof, the salaries of the
deputies to be fixed by the county
commissioners. County superintend-
ents shall receive a salary equal to
that of the register Of deeds in each
county, and in addition thereto his
actual and necessary travelling ex-
penses.
One of the radical changes in the
laws, if this bill is passed, will be
the abolition of the district school
treasurer, there being no such officer
named in the proposed act. His du-

HAD
BIG Meeting

Minot, Jan. 13.-Local printers and
newspaper men had meeting recent
". which was attended by a repre-
sentative of the Porte company OF
Fargo, the Porte company being IN
the business of teaching the working
of a printers cost system. Several
out-of-town newspaper men are in on
the move for enlightenment, and when
the printers commence to find out
what it really costs to run an inch
of advertising in their newspapers
and what it actually costs to turn
out job work, prices will jump sky
ward. The newspaper and printing
business has always been a cut-throat
game in Minot, display advertising
selling in some publications as low
as six cents an inch, while under
the cost system it is easily proven
that theg, actual cast of advertising
in the average newspaper shop in
Minot averages IL cents per inch.
Job prices are universally below cost.
Newspaper men and the printers are

BOY RECEIVED
SERIOUS BURNS

Jamestown, Jan, 13. Charles
Godge, a young mar 10 years old,
who has been staying at Casper Wo'
jick's place, met with peculiar ac-
cident last week. He was cleaning
his hair with kerosene oil, and after
thoroughly rubbing the scalp with the
kerosene he remarked to compan-
ion: II wonder of this would burn"
He struck a match and touched It
to his hair when instantly his whole
head was in flames. One of the wy
jick boys seized a blanket and for
tunately extinguished the blazing hair
but not before the young man was
badly burned about the neck and
head. His mother came from Min
neapolis and took him back home.

have not made as much money in the
business as have those engaged In
other lines of business. They sim
ply have failed to charge fair price

failed in selling their manufactured
goods at a profitable figure. How
ever, it looks as though there is
some hope for the fraternity.

Buying Modern Goods
How to find them

The bright advertising merchant goes
at it in another way.
He doesn't wait for people to dig
through the stock to find his goods,
but he uses space in the newspapers
totell all the people about his goods.
Advertising makes it easy for them to
know about his wares, brings him
immediate buyers and he sells his
stock over and over again.
1t doesn't get chance to get stale
is never out-of-date.
Therefore, if you want to feel that
the goods you are buying are right
in style, quality and price, you
should patronize the merchants who
ADVERTISE.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-01-14

No woman likes to feel that she is
buying old, shopworn, out-of-date
goods.
She wants goods which are new and
fresh, especially in articles of wear.
The store in which you trade largely
determines what kind of goods you
are buying.
If YOU trade in stores which do
small amount of business, the mer-
chant is always carrying goods
which are two or three seasons old
and out.of-date.
This merchant depends upon people
coming to his store and searching
through the stock to find the goods
they want.

THE CRESCENT.

Legend Of lie Adoption a. an Emblem,
by ths Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out Of memory. In ancient my
tholOgy 1t decorated the foreheads of
Diana and Of Astarte, the Syrian We
nus. In the days of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies' wore 1t as an orna.
ment in their hair.
Since the foundation Of Constant.
nOple. the ancient Byzantium, 1t has
been the emblem Of the city and as
such ad0rns its walls and public build
ings. besides being stamped on its
coins and postage. The legend which
accounts for Its universal adoption In
Turkey. and Constantinople in par.
ticulhr. Is as follows:
Philip Of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 b. c. He chose q
night Of unusual darkness for the pro.
posed assault. but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
cloud. In commemoration of this
providential deliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city
The Mohammedan sultans were slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that 1t was the symbol OF
increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases Of the moon.

A DISPATCH from London
states almost pc sitively that the
real cause of the mobilizing OF a
United States army on the Mex
ian frontier and the assembling
of a United States squadron in
Mexican waters is the fact that
Mexico has granted Japan con-
cessions that may prove a
menace to this country in the
event OF an attempt to destroy
tlis country's commercial
supremacy in the Pacific. The
TACT that the Mexican govern
lnent has taken offense at the
military and naval display lends
credence to the London view oil
the situation and would seem to
indicate that a serious cOntin-
gency may arise at any time in
volving the United Stares,
Mexico and Japan.
