auce If war, even at the twelfth

sion is that ii IS too late and that il
is impossible to prevent it. By far
tho greatest responsibility lies with
the sixth-rate powers To me 1t is
perfectly clear that if the great
powers were united in their wish to
prevent a new Balkin war they could
do it without difficulty. That they
have not been united so far naturally
raises a suspicion that at least some
of them do not sincerely wish to pre-
vent it, Further developments. are
likely to prove this theory.

Bridge Needing Repair.

The floor on the Waltersville
bridge and on the approaches on
both sides of this bridge is worn
out and will soon have to be re-
paired. We learn the city is try
ing to get the county to repair
this bridge. The true status of
the case is this. The bridge Is in
the city Hmi,s, Was built by the
town and the town can be held
responsible for any injury sccru-
ing to any individual or stock in
crossing it. The only way the
city can get around repairing this
bridge is to strike out the terri
tory covered by this bridge and
approaches from its boundary
line. 1t is an easy matter to do
this at any regular meeting of
the Council, and it should be
done. This territory was only
incorporated in the city limits
for the purpose of building this
bridge. 1t has served its purpose,
now let the city unload it on the

City School Opens.

School opened Monday with an

the prospect for a good school this
year is manifest. This is encour-
aging, and the patrons should
lend a helping hand to the teach
ers. The majority of disturb
ances in all schools occur on &C.
count of the parents interfering

none of this this year. There has

in our schools for some time, and
we hope it will be some time to
come again before we learn of
another case.

Visits Home OF Forefathers.

Mrs. Hattie Gibson and her
daughter, Miss Elva, have recent.
ly been visiting Mrs. Sudie Ringo
and family. They are nieces of
Mrs. Ringo. The visit was a very
pleasant one as City City was the
home of their grandfather; Judge
John French, one of the old piO-
nsers-of thisccSun.ry, and was the
builder of the Red River Iron
Works, and, also, the foreman of
same for many years. Mr.. Will
der, the father of Mas. Gibson,
was chief nail cutter under Judge
French. This was Mrs. GibsoD's
first visit to this place, and she
said it was a real pleasure to
view the old home of her grand
father aud father, and drink from
the spring at the old oak from
which her grandfather and fami-
ly and father had drunk for
many years long ago. Their Wis
it was greatly appreciated by the
Ringo family.

Trial Of the Last Road Case.

In the case of exceptions filed
by Edwin Rose against the coun-
ty in the matter of the new road
between this city and Stanton,
tried out in the County Court
Monday, the damages were rails
ed from $3.50 to $500. This brings
the total amount of damages for
the new road up to $500. This
upon the face of it, seems to be a
light damage, but when il is un-
derstood that so many made con-
cessions in the matter of fencing
and gave the right-of-way straight
out, it may be considered little
high, but not enough, it is
thought, to block the opening of
this all important road.

Corn Going Up.

Corn which was plentiful not
many weeks ago at $3.50 per bar
rel has steadily climbed up until
1T is now $500 per barrel and
scarce at this price. While there
is yet plenty of old corn in this
county, the short crops in the
bluegrass counties have forced
the prices up there, and this has
stimulated the advance in this

Egg Prices Low
Butter very High
Potatoes Sen for Lowest Price In Five
Years-Hens Do Duty, But
Cows Fall Low

There is feast of potatoes and eggs
in St. Paul and q famine in lemons and
oranges.
The mild winter has played peculiar
tricks with food prices as the adjoining
table will show. One of the things
most evident is that the hens have been
working overtime and have brought
eggs down to the lowest they have
been at this season in five years.
Egg spectators, who last summer
helped fill the cold storage houses, have
lost fortunes. From several sections
it is reported that hens have been lay
ing consistently and the supply all over
the Northwest is steadily growing
While the hens have been doing more
than was expected of them, the COW
has barely brought her products under
the 1912 prices, and not nearly as low
as in 1911 or 1909. Butter is "a cents q
pound and fancy cheese 81 cents q
pound.
Potatoes are cheaper now than at any
time in the history of the St. Paul
Board of trade. Yesterday carload
after carload was brought by the COM
mission men for 30 cents bushel. The
nearest approach to these prices was in
1910, when they were IS cents. This
time year ago the housewife was pay.
ing exactly three times as much for
potatoes as she is today.
While this part of the country has
benefited by the open winter, Cali.
fornia has had the worst winter ir
years. This is revealed in the lemon
and orange prices. The almost unhearc
of price of 50 case is being paid fo,
lemons, while California navel oranges
are higher than they have been in five
years. M-
Poultry. which, with butter, eggs
and cheese, forms the principal colo
storage products, has swayed back and
forth for five years almost as true as 9
pendulum. Hens are right where they
were in 1909 and turkey is the same,
although it has varied more than its
smaller sister.
Although the table shows an upward
tendency and unmistakably higher
average of prices, still the law of supply
and demand has played an important
part. as is evident in the egg supply
this year. '@f
The above table is based upon the
reports and quotations of the st. Paul
Board of Trade, which is lower than
the grocery store, but which is the true
harometar Of nricea

Few Bills Recon-
mended to Pass
MaYville Normal School May be Dis
continued and New One Built
: " West Of Missouri

The legislatures are spending less
time on recesses than in former years
when passes were in order. Many bills
have been introduced but few recon-
mended to pass.
The members Of the legislature west
of the river want the Mayville Normal
moved west of Mandan. The only
normal schools in the state are those at
Valley City and Mayville and it would
be right to have one in the western
part of the state and leave the one at
Valley City.
A bill has been introduced in the
senate which prohibits the killing of
deer in the state until Nov. 10, 1918.
Many will be in favor of this bill pass
ing.
The bill providing for the summoning
Of jurors by registered mail passed the
house.
Another bill to pass the house was
that of electing United States senators
by direct vote of the people.
Every citizen of the United States
and civilized person of Indian descent
who shall have severed his tribal re-
Z lations two years proceeding election,
will be allowed to vote if the bill that
has passed the house will pass in the
senate.
Representative Freitag introduced a
bill in the house that will amend the
constitution and locate an insane asylum
at Max.
Represents Hoge introduced a
bill relating to the right of way for

luton, providing for establishment of
an asylum for the insane at Garrison.
Other bills have been introduced asking
to have the asylum located at Leeds
and at Rugby. Either an entire new
asylum establishment will be built or
additional building placed on the James
town grounds. ...t

School For Public Service

1t is q possibility that the time will
come when every man before he be-
comes an official Of the government,
city, county, state or nation, will have
to pass an examination to show his fit
ness for the Office he aspires to fill.
The business world demands trained
minds. Why should not the public
service be considered of as much i'm
portance? ~ ~
There are too many officials in re-
sponsible positions, who were placed
there as a reward for some political
move and not as q result of their fitness
for the Office. A step toward such IN
ideal was taken by the founding Of .
school for public service in New York
in 1911 by Mrs. E. H. Hartman.
The Brooklin Times, discussing this
school says it was q real inspiration and
adds: ~
In no department of life or occupa-
tion is it SO important to secure trained
and expert services a. in the ramifed
public service departments Of such q.
city as New York. Chance and pref
erence and plunder have been the rule
rather than the exception in the ad-
Of the affairs of this great
metropolis.
Citizens that have been successful in
private business or in the manipula-
tions Of political influences are not
necessarily competent to do service in =
public Office which they secure to them
selves. Certain it is they can lay no
claim to being experts either in point
of education or training. And the lack
Of competent. public servants has, there
fore, constituted the city's greatest
weakness.
Mrs., Harriman's school, established
under the auspices Of the bureau Of
municipal research, bids fair in time
70 contribute In very material way in
converting this weakness Of the city
into strength. The students under ito
curriculum are not only required TO
study the principles Of scientific gov-
ernment and public service, but to inn
bibe and apply them by actual service
in the various departments Of the mu-
nicipal government Of New York.
i This, then. = the great labratory''
where theory is turned into experience.
