ARNOLD IS now
AT GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. d, June 15.-"Rev.'
James Russell Arnold of Devils Lake,
erstwhiIe inmate of the St Cloud.
Mimi. and Jamestown, N. d, asylums
for the insane, escaped from
Devils Lake only to land In the
clutches of the Grand Forks police de-
partment. He occupied a cell in the
city Jail this morning and Will II the
police see fit, deliver a public address
some time during the day. But it is
very probable that Grand Forks peo-
pie will have to forego that pleasure,
as Arnold is looked upon with a great
deal of favor by the city's speech
censor
Arnold has been giving the city Of
Devils Lake no small amount of adj
yertising lately. He got busy at Fargo
last week with his street addresses,
and provided no little amusement for
ON and trouble for the police.
From Fargo he went back to Devils
Lake.
Thursday afternoon he decided that
he would leave Devils Lake, thinking
that they were about to send him to
the asylum again, and he boarded No.
D without q. ticket or means Of paying
for one. The train officials were un-
able to handle Arnold with any de-
gree OF satisfaction. and when they
reached Grand Forks Of1cer Herrick
boarded the a and took charge Of
the man.
Arnold Is about % years old, and
his principal trouble is that of want
ing to talk too much.

R~EvoLuTloNlzE BANKING.

William J. Scott, a farmer living at
Central Point, near Medford, Ore, has
q plan to revolutionize the banking
business Of the country. Some time ago
his county planned to issue 81, $780, 600
bonds for good BAD 1t was found
that the county would have to pay in
interest. and final redemption at the
end Of twenty years, the sum Of $3,-
100000. The farmers thought this
sum Il large and voted down the bond
issue.
This incident set Mr.. Scott to think
ing and he has evolved a plan that
seems simple-and possible under the
present banking laws. He proposes
that the county shall organize a tax
payers national bank, issue the bonds,
deposit them with the federal govern
ment. secure money without interest.
The entire property Of the county win
be behind the bonds TO insure their
payment.
Each year a levy OF a certain gum
a be made. This levy viii decrease
in mills annually as the assessed valua-
tion increases, and at the end of twen-
ty years the amount Of money needed
for paying off this bond isue will have
been raised. This can be turned back
to the government, the bonds redeemed
and the bank can be dissolved.
In the meantime the county will have
spent the money On good roads-and
had the amount without interest.

GETTING TOGETHER.

Fargo and Moorhead are getting to-
gether. In the old days Fargo people
were wont to reflect on Moorhead as
being a place only where booze was
sold. 1t occurred to many Of
them that ii it were not for Fargo pat
ronage-there would be little necessity
for so many places that handled liquor
and beer.
The people Of Moorhead used to be
sore at Fargo-because they alleged
this city tried to secure their business
and trade. The M-feeling and recrim-
nations continued for many years
until within a comparatively recent
period. Charges by citizens Of one
town against those Of the other are
rarely heard now. A spirit Of good fell
lowship is being built up and an era
OF good feeling is evident.
There is no reason why the people
Living SO close together-should not
be on the best possible terms-and
helpful to each other.

SCRIPTURE.
Genesis xl, 9.

XXI
And the whole earth was Of one
language, and of n speech.
And it came to pass, as they jour-
neyed from the east, that they found
plain in the land Of Shinar; and they
dwelt there.
And they said one to another, Go to,
let us make brick, and burn them thor
oughly. And they had brick for stone,
and slime had they for mortar.
And they said, Go to, let us build
us a city and a tower, whose top may
reach unto heaven; and let us make us
a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
And the Lord came down to see the
city and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
And the Lord said, Behold, the peo-
pie Is one, and they have all one
language; and this they began to do;
and now nothing will be restrained
from them, which they have imagined
to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there
confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's
speech.
So the Lord scattered them abroad
from thence upon the face of all the
earth: and they left of to build the
city.
Therefore is the name Of it called
Babel; because the Lord did there
confound the language Of all the earth:
and from thence did the Lord scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the
earth.

PUBLICITY CURE.

In Fargo as well as other cities, there
are people who own buildings that are
used for improper purposes. Rev. DIR.
Curry, a New York priest, has a cure
for this practice. He advocates a law
requiring that the name OF the owner
Of any building shall be placed in a
prominent position on the structures.
This measure, he believes, would pre-
vent sanctihed and hypocritical church
members from renting their property
for houses Of ill-fame and for saloons.
The idea is a good one. It is a no
torious fact that many prominent peo-
pie derive large incomes from property
used for immoral purposes.
There are quite a number Of good
people who would dissolve promptly
their indirect partnership with vice
II they could no longer continue as
silent partnership would have the
TACT bIazoned to the world that they

source
There are other considerations also.
Public opinion has tremendous weight
with a large number Of people. Pub
lie opinion naturally condemns the
man who keeps dilapidated old build
4ngs in a growing district. They de-
tract from the value OF the modern
buildings with which they are sur
rounded-and give the city a bad as
pect where their holdings are. But
few people know who are the owners
Of the dilapidated and rundown struc-
lures. The owners name afaxed prom
anently on such buildings would give
these owners q notoriety which they
could scarcely valne-and which they
may take some pains to avoid.
Publicity is a great thing. It has it's
uses and abuses. It would seem that

Forgive me, my dear Ridgeway, but

Now Mr.. Lawson is asking these
same "shrimps,'' tapes" and Jokes
to send him to the senate. Mr.. Crane
the gentleman whose toga Lawson
covets, has seen a great light and has
determined that he doesn't want to be
senator after his present term expires.
The Massachusetts, legislature must
select his successor.
Lawson is going out after the SEN
a~torship in the same spectacular way
that he has gone out after some other
things; that is, he will buy up whole
pages of advertising space in the lead
ing newspapers and tell the dear peo-
ple'' Ono, not apes and shrimps this

they should send him to congress. He
will not use the old weapons in this

Lawson in his politics is a radical

win doubtless throw many lurid and

SATURDAY, JUNE IS, 1912
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED.

Fargo has had a busy time In edu-
1cational circles. The graduation exer-
,cisea at the North Dakota Agricultural
college were held last week. This
week those OF Fargo college, the Fargo
high school and Sacred Heart acad-
envy occupied the attention Of the peo-
Eple.
There were a number OF bright
young boys and girls graduated from
hthese schools-and the exercises Incl
dent to commencement week have fur
Inished a great deal Of interest and en-
Itertainment to the young people, their
parents and friends.
The recent graduation OF so many
young people In Fargo and Moorhead
has emphasized the growing import
sance Of the two cities in an educational
way. Many local people scarcely real
ize the magnitude OF the work and the
large total enrolment OF young people
In the places Of learning on both sides
OF the Red river. Opportunity is Of
1ered the youth Of two states to secure
mental training Of almost any kind
they wish at accessible locations.
The educational advantages OF the
two towns VIII Increase In importance

Red river valley not only the com
mercial and ~ananciaL-but educational
headquarters, as well.

Your meridian is a north and south

weather changes and events, moving
toward some eastern point, will reach
your vicinity. On an average these
move about 500 miles a day, but some
times they move faster. sometimes
slower.
The warm waves should be your
guide, and beginning the day 1t reaches
you, the weather changes will be close
to the following: Warm, threatening,
cooler, cool, fair, moderately warmer.
This will cover the seven days, and
you will find that the weather changes

Planetary ~meteorology is rapidly
gaining in favor through the civilized
world, and many orthodox scientists
are coming yer to our side of the
subject. Professor Nordon Of France
is publicly declaring that the planets,
through their attraction and electrical
forces, cause the sunspots. and that
sunspots are related to our weather
changes. Professor Serviss, an Amer
lean newspaper and magazine writer
on astronomy, is publishing we'll illus
trated articles for the great newspa-
pers, boldly declaring that the sun
spots, through electric : magnetic
forces, control our weather changes.
Seems there are many progressivea

as well as among other statesmen. 1t

than to pull against the stream that

broken, and there will be a rush Of
mighty matters, a great and rapid

and INSTRUMENTATION Will soon be
generally acknowledged as the king
OF the physical forces.
There has been talk OF destroying
some OF the old weather records to get
them out of ireproof vaults that are
now overcrowded. That would be a
calamity. We cannot hope to calcu-
late future weather except by its past

ords, together with the old army rec

from the Red river by the clear water
win be very rapid.

The story that the water was pumped
into the mains yesterday morning is
not correct, for we did not begin to
pump the water from the clear well
into the city mains until 20 minutes to
5 last evening.
Everything about the big plant Is
working perfectly and we will begin
the tests within a few days. The fire
