Necktie Party a Success.
The Degree of Honor of East

most novel parties of the season
last evening. when they entertained at
Gies' hall with necktie social. Forty
couples attended and the pleasure of
the evening was dancing, splendid
music being furnished by the Finley
orchestra. The neckties came into
play when supper was announced, the
ties being promiscuously passed out
among the guests and the matching
being the manner in which partners
were secured. 1t caused much excite
ment and merriment and made the
affair one of the most successful that

ket has been superseded by the crate
The farm supply of eggs has increas-
ed from the barter-for-sugar number
to an item of cash which constitutes
a large entry in the farm profit.
But poultry raising like all othe-
agricultural activities. must be scien-
tifically conducted. Two lines of de-
velorment have been followed. One
of these is to develop the egg produc-
er: the other is to develop the table
bird. Both are profitable just as the
development Of the dairy and beef
breeds of cattle is profitable each in
its respective sphere. A flock Of
chickens on every farm, while they
require special care and can not be

lie much Of the farm waste that 9TH
erwise would he dead loss.
NOT altogether foreign to the ques-
ton of farming is the automobile
show. 1t is true the possession Of q
car has been looked upon as luxury,
but it is rapidly becoming a utility.

ination of distance IL more essential
TO him than any other class. He
must be in close touch with the town
for business reasons and an auto ca
pable of making forty miles an hou-
gives him more time for business
both in town and on the farm. This
means money saved. for the farmers
time is cash.
Alrnos: helf the automobiles in the
country are owned by farmers. The
majority of them are for utilitarian
purposes. The farmers are investing
in autos as they invest in horses-to
get service out Of them. 1t is rather
opportune that they have an oppor-
,unity to study this new feature Of
farm life while giving attention to the
growing Of special crops.

material. This is contrary to the or
dinance.
In our judgment. it would be I'M
practical to make the house comply
with the ordinance in every respect
but the following should be insisted
upon. The ticket booth should be
pushed back and the guard railing in
front Of it removed so az to leave the
hallway full width. No crowd should
be permitted to gather between per-
formances or at any time in the hall.
If possible one of the stores in front
should be used as waiting room and
an additional exit to the street made.
The exits at the sides of the house
should be arranged 90 that they could
be readily opened. Better provisions
should be made for the exit from the
gallery. Space under the gallery
should be cleared out and the letter
of the ordinance observed with re-
spect to this matter.
A better and wider rear exit should
be provided at the UNIQUE theater.
A better provision in the case of this
house would be an exit at the side
near the stage which could be easily
made.

necessary at this time.

Grand Forks has become a syno-

itself to the pleasant task of making
everyone who becomes a visitor at
any OF her numerous conventions feel
desire to come again. And the mo-
1ives have not been altogether selfish.
While every public gathering is d.
rect benefit to the city in a temporary
way. the great benefit is the develop
ment Of mutual interests between
Grand Forks and it's contributing
territory The spirit OF reciprocity
has been shown Grand Forks BY other
cities of the state on numerous oc-
casions. and we feel that return of
these by the welcome extended to our
visitors this week is not selfish but
reciprocal.

wlcKERsHAM ON LEASING PLAN.

According to the Washington, D. C., Times there is a wide difference of opinion between Delegate Wicker sham and the couseryatonists Of the Pmchot stripe. In an interview Mr. wickersham Is quoted as saving: Transportation and not uue, wu decide who win control the coal The Guggenbeims viI have the entire coal fields ia their grasp in a year from the time you pass a leasing bill because they already have the trans porauoD secure. We must control it through controlling the transportation and the idea of the government build. ing and operating the railroads, has 8 good deal more merit than any other proposal yet advanced.
 Mr. Wtckersham is right n his contention that the leasing system would offer no guarantee against monopoly. And he is probably righ, taa, within a short time the inter ests controlling the transportation would also control the coal.
 It IS doubtful, however, if the peo. pie would be satisfied to wait fog Jhe government to build a railroad to Che mines, when 1t is remembered that it has taken years to decide whether anybody Is to be permitted to mine the coal A government which has been so dilatory in met ing out justice to the claimants; which has delayed the deye,Opmeui Of the country by the right of might; through ignorance or malfeasauce; could hardy be expected to build a road into the coal fields ju time to give satisfaction to the people who are wrilhtug under injustice and a needless and burdensome expense.
