Debating Team left today for Hatton.
This morning on the "dinky'' the de-
batting team which, consists of Alice
Daley, John Smith, and Albert Jacqua,
left for Hatton, N. D., to debate with
the team Of that town this evening.
They are chaperoned by Miss Flagg,
their Instructor. Last December this
same team defeated Michigan City on
the question-Resolved that North Da-
llota should adopt a plan of working
mems insurance similar to the Wiscon-
sin plan," Devils Lake had the afirma-
tive. Hatton also won out on the az
firmative side of the question and
when the teams were matched for the
second series Devils Lake was given
the negative. This has meant double
work for the team and if they win it
will be because of their hard work
and of the patience of Miss Fiagg

Letter From Mr.. warren.

Editor Confederate Column Times
Dispatch:
Shiny attention has been called
to letter appearing in your issue
OF last Sunday signed by {. w Nor
Kiss. in which the writer seems TO
have discovered need for new
camp OF Sons of Confederate Veterans
to 'porpctuate the slorJ OF the Con
iederacy" and hand down to future
generations a history that is full Of
sacrifice and rcsplendent with acts OF
heroism.'
1T Is true says the writer "that
there IS a camp of Sons of Con-
fedcrate Veterans In this city, BUT
they only meet once a year. ana they
have so little interest and patriotism
that they some time ago voted to
discard the gray"
l have not the slightest objection
To Mr.. Morriss's organizing a new
camp or TO his rcN:iving an old one,
as he desires. and according to his
own patriotic ideas, but as a member
OF X. Il. Lee Camp, Sons OF Confederate
Veterans, | desire to make brief
statement in disapproval OF his charge
that our organization is so void OF
patriotism. lest some OF your innocent
readers be mislcd by h.s words.
At present we have enrolled IFS
members in good standing. We well
come othe rs-any son or grandson of
a member of the Confederate Army
or Navy with an honorable record.
We have one or more general meet
ings a year. The executive COMMITTEES
composed of twelve members, meets
at least four times year. and more
frequently at the call OF the COM
mander TO attend to important mat
ters coming up from time to time.
The cap always holds itself at the
service Of the Daughters OF the Con-
federacy and the Confederate Me-
mortal Literary Society.
We make substantial annual do
nation to tho Home for Confederate
Women. which we feel is the best ex-
preston of the best patriotism.
Recently this camp raised the
money and marked the sites OF tho
Robertson Memorial Hospital md
Libby Prison We arc now preparing
to mark another site.
We havo not discarded the gray
We regard 1t as sacred. ana we do
not feel That we can make 1t more
Immortal. 1t is 10y personal opinion
that we have not the right TO wear
the Confederate uniform. That right.
1t seems to Inc, belongs solely to
those who made its everlasting fame.
Nor do we think it is possible for

What is probably the largest, and
undoubtedly the most modern and
hygienic bottling plant in New Eng
land, has just been completed by the
Narragansett Brewing Company, Of
Providence, r. /.
The building has been in process of
construction almost a year, and rep
resents an investment of many thou
sands of dollars. 1t is modern in
every sense Of the word; steel frames,
brick and cement construction, make
1t absolutely fireproof thruout. 1t oc-
cupies space about 300 feet long by
200 feet wide, between the Office build
ing and the special railroad tracks of
the Narragansett Brewing Company.
To appreciate the efficiency of the
plant, and the manifold processes
which are necessary to modern
nygienic bottling, it is only necessary
to follow the bottles from the point
where they are received from return
ing auto trucks and refrigerator cars

being washed, cleansed and scrubbed,
filled, capped, pasteurized and la
belled, they are again ready for ship

and are automatically hoisted on trays

ter large, long, automatic "soaker,"
where they are soaked and rinsed.
They are then washed and scrubbed
inside and outside, with automatically
revolving brushes. and rinsed four
times over
hii during the cleansing operation,
the bottles are moving on an endless
chain, upon which they continue to be
carried thruout every succeeding pro-
cess. The machine which fills the
bottles is a masterpiece of mechanical
ingenuity. The bottles approach it in
phalanXes, but just before they enter
the "fller" they drop automatically
into single file to enter the immense
rotary frame. Each bottle is firmly
claspsd in place by metal bands and
a cap which fits tightly over the top
0f the bottle is let down, and the brew
,iows into the empty bottle. All this
happens simultaneously. The filing
is done while the frame rotates, and
is completed in about half circuit

CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS
President Taft Invites Governors OF
All the States to q Conference 20
Consider His Plan For Reducing
the Cost of Food Production.

Beverly, Mass.-Radical state and
federal legislation to bring the Amer.
lean farmer cheap money at better
terms and TO reduce the cost of living
to the consumer by reducing the cost
of production TO the farmer was urged
by President Taft in n letter sent Fri
day to the governors Of all the states
inviting them TO Il conference in Wash
ington upon this subject
According TO President Taft. the
plan which he advocates offers
means to secure to this country great
or productivity. at less cost. from the
farms that are now under cultivation,
and. above all, to give us more farms
and more farmers. 1t will make II
profitable for the farmer to return to
the cultivation Of the abandoned farm
lands Of the east and to open mp the
vast areas OF untitled land In the west
This offers the consumer relief from
the increasing cost OF foodstuffs."
To do this President Taft would
have established. I'm the interest OF the
American farmer. financial machine
based upon the cooperative principle
employed In nearly every country of
Europe. The scheme. says Mr.. Taft.
has been tested in Europe through all
the changing conditions Of a century
and the results can be seen in the fact
that today the American farmer, be-
sides his payments in commissions
and renewals. pays an average Of sl2
per cent for his money as compared
with the Sia or AZ per cent paid by
the farmers Of France or Germany.
