which to be married. There were
about 40 guests present.
DR.. and Mrs. Nicholson will
spend their honeymoon here, and
will make their home in Edgefeld.

Burbank Beats Bob Smith,

On his experimental farms at
Santa Rosa last year Luther Bur
bank raised corn l6 feet high, with
80 we'll developed ears. Il is said
that one grain added to each ear of
corn of the entire crop of the United
States will be worth $5,0O0,000 to
the farmers, in increased produc-
tion. What would be the result if
each stalk could be made to produce
half Burbank's wonderful crop-l6
ears? The proposition looks too
great for consideration-and yet
he thinks it possible, by proper seed
selection and production. d

College For Girls,

Rev. David NJ. Ramsey, presi'
dent of Greenyille Female college
who addressed the mems meeting IN
the Lyric theatre yesterday after
noon, under the auspices of the Co
lumbia, Y. NJ. G. A., is delighted
with the condition and prospects of
the Baptist institution over which
he presides: ;,
"Greenville Female college," he
said, ''has completed the most sue,
cessful year it has ever had, the en-
rolment exceeding that of any pre-
oeding session, the standard OF
scholarship having greatly advano-
ed, and the income having consid.
e,ably increased. For l9l3-19l4
the president and board are laying
extensive plans. More money has
been appropriated for teachers sal
aries, thus enabling the administra-
ton to hold many of the high-grade
university graduates, and to procure
others of similar standard.
THE first floor of the new north
building was equipped last summer
by the heirs of the late Major T. @.
Donaldson with all the appliances
necessary to complete modern lab
oratory second to none ia a wo-
mans college in the State. Adjoin-
ing this department. there is spa
cious room designed to be used for
the steam laundry. 1t has been
found, however, that this room is
admirably adapted for the domes-
tic science laboratory. The archi-
tect is at work now upon the plans,
and the equipment will be COM
plete before the opening of the
next session. There will be two di-
visions, one for students in the sew
ing and one for those taking cooke
ry. In addition to the normal
course in domestic science, there
will be course designed for future
housekeepers, the object of which
will be to enable girl to perform
easily the duties that would other
wise be burden.
The rooms are being engaged so
rapidly that the ensuing year prom
ises to be even more successful than
the past has been. Progress Is the
word that best characterizes the
work of the college. The State.

the monuments marking Chicka-

in the valley-the entrance to which

is seen a patch of green trees, under
whose shadows lie the remains Of
$1,000 soldiers, while further to
the east is the Confederate GENE

the soldiers of both armies have
been re-opened, the underbrush cut
from 5000 acres, and the battle

best preserved battlefield in the
world. The length of the main
drive through the park is 90 miles.
And this driveway runs all the way
between the battle lines. Five steel

A Voice from Chattanooga.
litor Edge6eld Advertiser:

Editor Edge6eld Advertiser:
am anxious to tell your readers
something about the reunion and
the historic city of Chattanooga.
Chick.mauga has long been a very
historic place, both for che untutor-
ed Indian az well as the civilized
white man. 1t was along these,
and through these gorges, and over
these bills that the red man settled
their disputes of boundary and do
minion. And how faithfully did
the white man years afterward do
the same thing. In 1880 the little
settlement on the banks Of Tenn
essee, which is now the great city
of Chattanooga, was known as the
Ross Landing named in honor of
John Ross the celebrated chief of
the Cherokee tribe.
Historic Chattanooga" has won
world wide fame. Every school
bog. has read the stirring story of
the Battle Above the Clouds; of
the charge up Missionary Ridge.
To-day it is Industrial Chattanooga
with its 300 factories, representing
more diversified products than any
Southern city that is pushing to the
front. The primitive Indian saw
here the advantage of a camping
ground, which became the great
camping ground of the most popu-
lous Indian tribes in the Central
South. And during the civil war
the generals Of both armies realized
the strategic Importance of Chat
tanooga and the bloodiest battles
of the conflict followed for the poss-
ession of this key to the South.
What the savage mind intuitively
saw, the military mind with scien-
tiic foresight discovered. And so
the commercial mind and natures
designs are now being realized with
marvellous rapidity. Lookout noun

growing throughout the county.
Mr.. C. c.. Jones came in Monday

What is the reason for this surprising condition.
Mr.. Ro, deplores the fact that Greek and Latin are
no longer required subjects. In his opinion, the
translating of classics-such as Homer and Horace
into tersc, concise English is the reason why college
graduates are better writers in England. But that
can hardly be true. Some of the greatest writer's
as, for eXamplc-Shakcspeare, Burns and Abraham
Lincoln. never had this classical training. And others
could be mentioned.
An article in a recent issue Of The Boston Tran
script comes closer to the real cause. Our boys and
girls do not read enough real literature. The old
masters are neglected. Our schools are as much to
blame as the colleges. lnculcate in the child a love
of good literature and the art of writing will be I'M
consciously acquired. Our methods OF teaching
grammar and language by conjugating, arising and
diagraming is not as beneficial as supposed. Let the
boys and girls in our schools read the masters of style
and expression and the intuitive impulse to initiate
will make them proficient in the use of good English
without the present methods of literary dissection.
They will then be able to write we'll when they enter
college.

Fires Due to CdreleSSneSs

The greater part of the annual IRE waste III 'o
United States, amounting to nearly Sz'o'ooo''o' "
wear. is due to carelessness. Much of this IS personal
for which property owners are directly responsi"'''
and mich is municipal, through the federation by 'he
authorities of dangerously infammable constrnctloh'
laxity in the enforcement Of building ordinances an'
the regulation Of explosives and inflaMmaoles' failure
10 insist upon rubbish being cleaned up, etc. Inc
average citizen should have impressed upon nm aS
personal responsibility for his share OF the prevent
able fire waste of the country, which is draining IL
national wealth. Every man can at least see tn'l
manner old boxes and rubbish are not allowed to &C
cumulate in dangerous places or out-of-the-way cor
ners, and can keep an eye on his lighting and heating
appliances. If these alone are attended 10 properly
nearly half the fires could be prevented. IN lore's"
countries the owner of property is made responsible
for fires originating on lis premises and can De helo
for damages done the property of his neighbors. AM
erican independence may not yet be ready Tor such d
degree of regulation, but its necessity could be a'o"-
ad r. each citizen would feel his personal RESPONSE
bility without waiting for a law to enforce 1t.

MAN COULDN'T SEE
HIS own Horse

What was at first thought to have
been an attempt at horse stealing,
yesterday afternoon, proved to be
nothing But the error of a drunken
man.
When P. ]. Nelson, a farmer living
north of Bismarck, started to 50
home last night, he found his team
gone. The team had been left stand.
ing in front of the Union Mercantile
company's store. Mr.. Nelson asked
several. people standing by about his
team and was told that a man,
Slightly under the influence of IL
Quor' had been helped into tie w2g-
on a short time before and had start
ed for home. Mr.. Nelson hailed IN
automobile and started after. A short
way out of town they met a Bismarck
business mar and asked him if he
had seen anything of the team, He
told them that a few minutes before
he had seen a nan sound asleep on a.
lumber wagon. They were directed
to the place. There they found the
erring one peacefully sleeping Off the
effects of g few hours hilaritv. Mel
son took his team and started home
and the drunken mar was brought
back to Bismarck.

HUNDRED new fORDS
COME TO BERTSCH'S

A branch of The Bismark Implement
Company which will be known as The
Bismarck Motor Company, Bertsch
Brothers proprietors, has contracted with
the Ford Automobile company for one
hundred and fifty cars. The contract
dates from October 1, 1918 to October L,
1914. The territory in which these cars
will be sold is the northern part of En-
mons county, all of Burleigh county and
the southern part Of Mclean county.
While the territory Of Bertsch Brothers
has been enlarged the contract is nearly
triple of the amount Of cars contracted
for in 1918. ~
In contracting for Ford automobiles, it
is the experience of Bertsch Brothers that
double the amount of cars are sold each
year as are contracted for, and should
that experience be taken as a criterian.
next year The Bismarck Motor Company
will sell three hundred Fords in this ter
ritory.
A very large line of Ford parts will
be carried by The Bismarck Motor Com
penny; in fact the part line will be SO
complete that new cars can be built from
it. Bertsch Brothers have always carried
a large line of Ford parts but nothing

The PROGRESS of Our Business Men

American business men have taken three distinct
steps forward in late years. They have d1scoVe'eo
that they can work together locally for their lhu'-
yidual gain. They have learned that gam IS larger
than the pocketbook. They have come, rather SLOWLY
tc understand that the business advantage of organ
iziag locally has its parallel in organizing hatona"s'
Are they now to learn a fourth lesson, 10 take d
fourth step, queries the Minneapolis Tribune.
The most important of the three advances already
made was second in point of time. 1t was the change
in ideal and it was probably only half recognized.
The merchants and manufacturers of a town Or
ganized to procure better freight service, to 90 some
little and usually poor community adVertlsihs' or 10
manage a trade excursion. For the help it would
mean to trade, they then set about paving the mann
street. Next, perhaps, came ornamental lights. lheh
came the great discovery that Sums, disease, parks
Fairgrounds, open air schools, special care OF all VINO
are below the type, were business problems, not char
tiles.
Are they new to attack these business problems
on a national scale? Not this year, perhaps, but
eventually, yes. The wedge will lie in some specially
close relationship between a business problem and a
social problem. 1t may come, for example, in the TACT
that the child labor factory has a trade lead or 5 Or
10 per cent over the adult labor factory. Suc1 reg
ulation goes by states. Tennessee will appeal to the
national chamber of commerce for protection against
Alabama. That day will be the beginning.
Like most prOgressions in history, these are not
linked one after the other, clearly, distinctly, sequen-
TALLY, as in a chain. They are rather like strands IN
a cable, one entering before the others and ending
before them, but in its course going forward out OF
the way with the others. American business men
have not yet completed their local organizatiohs; their
participation in Social service is yet hating and uh-
certain; their amaleamation on the national scale is
only begun; and the beginning has not been made on
social service as a national body.
Eut the awakening has come. The progress or
our merchants, our bankers, our manufacturers, our
professional men in the last ten years is now so clear
that it is possible to foresee its direction for a gener-
alton. What a power for sober public opinion, for
healthful bodies and wholesome minds among chill
dren, for a richer life among all people, they will be
when they become active on the national scale!

The Road Ahead NOW Clear

When the roadway ahead is dark cautious men
go slow; when it is clear they can travel fast and
far:
For months past manufacturers and merchants,
unable to foresee the final shape in which the tariff
bill would be passed, have been doing a hand to
mouth business, afraid to n.ke important contracts
involving future delivery of goods.
With the enactment Of the tariff law they will
know just what to count upon and can 60 full speed
ahead. They are ready to do this, because most
provisions of the law have been in hand for some
time past and available as the basis of tentative cal
culations.
But no one could tell what changes might be made
at the last moment and therefore it was impossible
to make long term contracts. With the enactment
Of the law the road ahead is clear, and business
should take a new start.-New York Herald.

TammQny as a Pdrty Menace

Everyone knows the position that Tammany assum'
ed in the Baltimore convention Of 1912. President
Wilson and his friends certainly have not forgotten
it, says the Review of Reviews. At the present
moment, when the democratic party of the nation
seems to be fairly efficient, and to be using its lease
OF power to good advantage, its chief enemy IS not
the republican party, but is within its own camp
Tammany Hall, with its control Of the democratic
machinery in the state Of New York, is by all DDS
the most formidable enemy of an honest and mtell-
gent national democracy. 1t is reasonable enough,
therefore, that the present situation in the city and
state of New York should interest the entire country.
In a great municipal election, Tamnany is trying to
regain control of the affairs OF the city of New York.
In a striking contest at Albany, Tammany's legisla-
ture is trying to get rid of a philosophical and az
gressive governor by process of Impeachment.

Excise Violations

1t would seem from a case now at hand that the
courts may have to pass upon a nice question OF eX'
else law application, and it is to be hoped that they
will interpret the law in the spirit Of it's enactment
and give the community the benefit OF the protection
which its trainers intended. The new law defines
certain offenses and imposes restrictions in the dis
pensing Of liquor in the District, usually in terms
which refer to licenses issued under this act says
the Washington Star. 1t has been contended that
such offenses, committed prior to the issuance of
licenses under the new act, are not to be prosecuted
under the new law. Inasmucl as no licenses at al!
have been issued under the new statute yet, and none
can be for some time to come, a period i%nterposes IN
which, il the law is loosely interpreted and applied by
the courts, offenses which are specifically condemned
by the new enactment may go unpublished. 1t should
certainly be the effort of the courts to carry into
effect without delay provisions of the new law which
are plainly designed for the public protection. To
waive those provisions on the technical ground that
licenses have not yet been issued under the new stat
ute is virtually to grant a time of grace to lawbreak-
ers.
