GET SQUARE DEAL
in DEATH RATE
CITY OF FARGO WILL BE GIVEN
A SQUARE DEAL REGARDING
DEATH RATES AND ALL NON.
RESIDENTS AND TRANSMITS
WILL BE TABULATEp.

At last the city of Fargo Is going
to get a square deal in the vital sta
tistics as far as the death rates are
concerned. For many years the city
has been the victim of circumstances
having a large death rate because of
the non-residents and transients who
came to the local hospitals from all
over the state for treatment and died
here.
There has been a great deal of dis
satisfaction and the way the death
tabulation has been handled in Far
go. There has also been a great deal
of neglect on the part Of some par
ties whose duty 1t is to report vital
statistics, and it is limited that the

Chauncey Olcott, the sweet voiced
celt, delighted an overcrowded house
last night. The management had the
S. r. o. sign out when the doors were
open but many people were so anxious
to see the play and hear olcott sing,
they eagerly purchased standing room.
Macushla, the new play, gives Mr..
olcott an ideal Irish background and
setting for his delightful Irish songs
AT the end of the third act he was
forced not only to make a curtain
speech but to come out again and sing
NV Wild Irish Rose. The audience was
very demonstrating and encore after

The company was adequate in every
respect. Gail Kane as Pat, was most
capable and beautiful. Jennie Lamont,
as Mrs. Boyer was a great favorite.

UNCLEANL|NESS
IN OUR SCHOOLS
Principal Williams of Prospect
School Summoned Before
Board of Education
Complaint of Justice George w.
Wheeler of Unsanitary School
Building Stirs Board to Action

Sumner P Williams principal Of the
Prospect street school was ordered
last evening at the meeting of the
Board of Education to appear at the
next meeting of the board to answer
to certain statements he is said to
have made to Justice George w.
Wheeler in regard to filthy conditions
school. Justice Wheeler had sent a
communication to the last meeting
Of the board wherein he stated that
pect school he was amazed with it's
uncleanliness. He stated that he had
questioned Principal Williams, the
latter informing him that he had
lodged complaints with various MEM
bers of the school board but that
nothing had ever been done to remedy
the conditions. When the communica-
ton of Justice Wheeler was read at
the last meeting, superintendent Deane
was delegated as committee to as
certain from Principal Williams with
whom he had lodged complaints. At
the same meeting the weekly reports
of the school principals relative to the
work of the janftors were looked over
for a number of weeks back, but no
where could it be found that Super
intendent Williams had found fault
with the work of the Prospect school
janitor
Superintendent Deane stated that
Principal Williams had designated him
as the one to whom he had made
complaints, but he, himself. could not
remember any specific complaints
Members of the board also stated that
they had talked with Principal Will
liams, the latter stating to them that
he had made verbal complaints to
them of the school conditions None of
the school commissioners could re-
member SUCH
The communication of Justice Wheel
er reflected so much, at the time, on
the work of the school janitors, that
DR.. Deane has made detailed state
ment of computations on how much
work and how much time janitors
really give to their duties He found
that it took about 20 minutes to sweep
an ordinary school room, a hall or
stair case; about an hour to scrub a
room or hall and the same length of
time to clean the windows in a room.
On these computations he figured that
it took about Is 2-3 hours each week
to sweep a 10 room building. With
these figures for sweeping alone, and
thea 0ther work in scrubbing and
washing besides tending to the care
Of the yards and furnaces it would
call for g. 1-3 hours work each day for
a janitor in charge of a 10 room
school. AS many janitors started
their work about o'clock in the
morning and some at o'clock and
had to be present all the time during
the school session, he believed too
much work was expected of them. He
appreciated the fact that in consid-
GRAFTON Of the money paid some of
the janitors of the larger schools they
were able to secure help out of their
own salaries.

Ten Acres Enough.

About twenty years ago book with
the above title created a good deal OF
interest among those who We're seized,
as are an immensely larger number now,
with a desire to "get back to the land"
The volume, as we recall it at this time,
told how a good living could be made
from that number of acres, and health
and pleasure secured at the same time.
We are reminded Of this volume now
by recital which comes from San An
tonic. Tex, telling Of the success man
down there has made Of ten acres de-
voted to truck farming. He has an ir-
rigated tract, and from it last year he
sold 1924 worth OF vegetables, divided
in this way: Winter vegetables, $1.00S:
Bermuda onions, harvested in March.
S4S5: beans, peas and beets, $641;
radishes, both winter and summer
crops, such as California beans, etc,
$685. He paid out 1921 for help, for
seed and plants. $1S7; water for irriga-
tion purposes. 500; expense OF mar
keting, $1S4; total expense, $642, which.
deducted from s2.924 he got for his
crops, left clear profit Of s2,2S2: and
besides this he had all the vegetables
he wanted for his family of five and all
the food stuff for his two horses and
two cows.
In this section we do not need irri-
cation; tho the present exceptional dry
spell makes the farmers wish they had
something of the sort: and with better
shipping facilities and markets nearer
than in the section Of Texas we have
mentioned. it seems that any indus
trous man would find "ten acres
enough" to give him all he needed in
the way OF a living.-Nashville Tonnes
