HOUSE-KEEPERS IN
FARGO PLEASED

Every cook in Fargo is delighted
with the rich, nnt-like flavor of min
nesota" macaroni and spaghetti. Even
people who never liked these foods,
say they could "a minnesota" mac
aroni every day.
Good macaroni and spaghetti are
easily digested and they are always
~appetizing because they can be pre-
pared in so many different ways. They
are fine for children-making their
bodies strong and healthy. and they
give grown people the power OF en-
durance without overtaxing the stom-
ach.
But IL you want that rich, nut-like
flavor be sure and get the delicious
minnesota" brand or spag-
hetti-made from the finest Northern
Durum wheat. with all the nourishing
Gluten left in. It is easily digested
and never gets soggy. All good Fargo
grocers sell IL.

appealed to and they believe it is good
for the boys and good for education
as vel as good for business.
A serious beginning of the half and
half or cooperative plan will be made
next June by the high schools. De-
tailed plans are being worked out now
for the last two veal of pupils whose
course, during their first two years,
has been heading toward this half,
hatfield work. superintendent Dyer
assured me that there were apparent
ly the same opportunities for high
school boys and girls as for university
men in field work. A number Of bust
ness men were convinced that the plan
would work wen in many forms of
clerical work in business houses. They
at least want to e it thoroughly
tried out.
The Cincinnati method is bound to
spread. New York's chamber of COM
merce says: 1--WE are behind all other
parts Of the world in furnishing an
opportunity for a practical commercial
education" Chicago's commercial
club, like those Of Boston, Cleveland
and many other cities. is demanding
this practical instruction. Similarly,
citizens r demanding practical In
struction in public business. 3
In training men for citizenship and
for managing public business the Gin
cinnati method would work put
thing like this: No engineer would be
accredited from engineering school
without having done worthwhile,
necessary work in municipal engineer
ing. No physician would be given a
degree who had not proved his capa-
city to do field work in connection
with the health department. No law
yer ought to be given a certificate to
roam at large in legal problems who
a not had field experience in the adj
m~inistrative law Of his city, county or
state. For the same reason that a
flower is better than a description of
a flower in teaching botany, will
schools and colleges find that the run
ming currents, the rapids and the
bayous of. public and private business
III better materials for instruction
than text books or lectures about pub
lie and private business. And when
the school men will meet the manufac-
turer and the public official half way,
other cities will find as Cincinnati has
found that business men and oficials
are glad to make such adjustments of
their business routine as may be neces-
sary to do their part.

Recognized Artist in Paris.
William S. Horton, a well-known
artist in Paris and a former resident
of Lisbon, N. D., has sent cards to
friends announcing that he will give
an art exhibit In Paris at the Galleries
Georges Petit, from March / to 15.
Friends in this state will be interested
in hearing of the success of this young
man. He is the son of MI. and Mrs.
G. E. Horton of Lisbon, N. D. He is
is an artist Of rare ability. One of
his pictures, A Religious Procession,
painted in Madrid, Spain, was sold to
the French government and the pic
ture was hung in the Luxembourg
museum, which is considered a great
honor. His speciality is accomplish
ing fine effects in snow scenes and
the French papers say that he is the
only painter who has well expressed
the u~ndefinable gaiety and intimate
feeling of now landscapes. It is
gratifying to Mr.. Horizons friends in
North Dakota to know that he has
achieved such success as an artist.

MAN IN THE CAGE.

The American: The first Of a series
of articles entitled The Man in the
Cage, which is to deal with persons
and prisoners, is published. One of
the interesting facts brought out in
the first article is that thousands of
men prisoners in America are taught
women's work and other trades which
are absolutely useless to them when
they leave jail n try again to earn a
living. Following is an interesting
extract: '
To-day there are, as far as I can
estimate, some 10000 prisoners learn
ing needle trades in our various
prisons. Every one OF these men IL
forcing some working girl outside into
~idleness, or a lower standard of living.
or the lowest step of all. And every
of these men hates his work and
the state which has broken faith with
him.
Let us glance at some Of the other
important prison industries. There is
the hollowware industry. In the
prison foundry the men may be taught
to cast those great black iron pots and
pans. griddles, skilIets and skewers.
which formed the chief equipment in
your grandmother's kitchen, but which
today-what with the growing popu-
larity Of aluminium and agateware-
are relegated more or less to the
homes of the poor and to the more
backward communities. This is a
difficult and a dangerous trade to
learn. In its day 1t was a we'll paid
trade. But the fierce competition of
the prison goods has simply destroyed
this industry so that today there is
scarcely a single hollowware foundry
in the United States outside the prison.
I base this statement upon the author
ity Of the United States bureau of
labor Goth Ann. Rept, D. 1881 and a
letter from J.. r. Valentine, president
OF the Iron holders union of North
America. In order to earn a living at
this trade, as judge and warden and
chaplain have promised him, the
former convict must return to prison!
O the prisoner may be taught
broom and brushmaking, another inn
portant prison industry. This is not
exclusively a woman's trade, nor is 1t
a monopolized prison trade. 1t is
worse. 1t is a blind workers trade,

that two-thirds Of the work Is done

important prison trade. But this. also,
