PRICE REDUCTION PROBLEM.

From time to time some student of
the best to reduce the high cost
of living a discovery of a
short cut by which some Of the alti-
tudinous climb is avoided. 1t may be
a using Of the cheaper cuts Of meat, on
the theory that these are as wholesome
and nutritious as the more expensive
tenderloin, or it's a menV from which
the higher priced vegetables and 9TH
err foodstuffs have been eliminated and
others just as DEMONSTRATING substi-
tuted. Or it's the making over of
clothes instead of buying new ones, or
it's some other similar method OF econ
omizing.
All these things enable the income
of the householder to go farther, but
does not reduce the cost of the better
grade stuff. except in so far as the
Elackening demand might do so. On
the other hand. the increased demand
for less expensive materials tends to
put up the price for that grade Of
goods. Such expedients to reduce the
cost Of living mean that the people
must step down to a lower standard
of living and still pay the price which
a few years ago obtained for the high
er standard.
The American people have been ex-
travagant, but this was largely due to
better wages than obtained in older
countries. But there would be no
harm OF living or a less e~xtravagant
scale. The pinch is in paying high
grade prices for a lower scale IF liv-
ing. The real problem is to reduce
the cost of those things which go into
the matter OF living. If this desirable
result could be obtained, following the
more recent lessons in living on a less
exalted scale, the savings account
would be the gamer in many in
stances.

%pIscoNTENT OF LARoR

H. G.. Wells In Everyman: The
present discomfort of the laboring
mass of the community is a thing at
once dangerous and fine. In h last
thirty years or so the worsinglnan q
quickened from acquiescence to intel
ligence, has become imaginative. hun.
CRY, fastidious, human, as we who
read and talk and think estimate hui
mainly.
The ideal state, its cities splendid
and spacious, Its affairs b~enignant, its
life of fearless action and clear
thought, has passed from being the
peculiar vision of rare thinkers to an
integral part of our collective con-
sciousness-and his. And there is an
infuriating contrast between that ideal
and present reality, the muddle or
misery Ink drudgery streaked with
preposterous pleasure which the rich
have built out OF his toil-toil he has
performed far more consctentiously
than they have ever performed their
duty Of government. The labor revolt
is a revolt of the imagination against
the pettiness of the immediate life.
and more particularly a revolt of the
workers imagination against the tg-
noble extravagances Of wealth and
authority.
But much of this revolt still fails to
find expression, or shutters into mis-
leading claims. Socialism, and espe-
cially social democracy, the first CO.
herent attempt to state a democratic
policy, has all the excuses OF defini-
ton that are natural In a first attempt
to give a form to ideals. Finality Is
the negation of life. Life is change,
and for the mastery Of life we must
be quick to foresee and challenge it's
changes. In social democracy / find
little more than a disposition to lop
the present social system Into a trun-
Gated fnality.
That cry, The World for the
Workers, gallant as it is, perpetuates
a social error. It Is true today that
the world is far more for the cotton
spinner than it is for the scientific i'm
Yestigator; that it takes far more care
that the cotton spinner shall work in
a proper place and under proper con-
ditions. And social democracy seems
to have no suspicion of the foolishness
and wastefulness of that. A triumph
for social democracy as it is imagined
today would-at the best-made us a
nation of prosperous trade ~unionists,
well fed, well paid, c%ocksure; cotton
and postoffice clerks and-functionar-

SATURDAY, MARCH IS, 1918.
BIG YEAR FOR FARGO.

This is going to be one of the best
years for the retail stores of Fargo in
the history of the city. Business con-
ditions in Fargo are usually largely
dependent on crop prospects, and bust
ness either picks up or drops off as the
crop prospects f%luctuate during the
summer.
While this condition will hold good
to a certain extent this c there will
be so much improvement work done
in Fargo this summer, 80 many big
buildings to be erected, so many build
ings to be remodeled and so many
other big enterprises to be carried out
that money and work will be plenti-
full. This insures a big summers bus
mess to the merchants OF the city, de-
spite anything that may develop in the
crop situation
Few realize what a vast sum of
money is going to be expended in Far
go this summer in permanent improve
ments. Beginning the first Of the
year The Forum has recorded some
new contemplated improvements with
almost every issue. Several great
warehouses, costing into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars are to be erect
ed. Many of the big retail stores in
the centre of the city are to be entire
ly remodeled. New and more up-to-
date windows and store rOOms are de-
manded by the expansion Of trade that
comes with the rapid growth that Far
so is making.
Perhaps the most important an
nouncenent that has been made is he
one published in The Forum last even
ing, that the Great Northern is to make
this city a division point. This will be
a big thing for Fargo In many ways,
not the least of which will be from the
money that will be spent in the city,
in the improvements that will be nee
essary. A new ~roundhouse will be
built. Many miles Of double track and
miles of new yards will have to be laid
and a great steel bridge is to be
thrown across the Red river.
Another important feature will be
the bringing Of hundreds Of families
of railroad men to the city as resi-
dents.
With so much to be accomplished
before snow flies again this fall. Far
go should fairly hum with industry
this summer.

"IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND WORTH
LOVINE.o

This poem was discovered by George
Morgan, of the banking firm of Morgan,
Rrexel & co., in a country newspaper.
he carried 1t in his pocket for five
friends. The author is unknown. In
quiries for copies of it were so fire.
quent that he finally had it printed for
distribution.
If you have a friend worth loving.
Love him. Yes, and let him know
Ihat you love him ere life's evening
Ttnge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
OF a friend-till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you,
Sung. by any child of song,
Praise It. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the JOY you may tmpart?
If you hear a prayer that moves YOU
BY it's humble, pleading tone,
Join it.. Do not let the, seeker
Bow before it's God alone.
ny should not your brother share
The strength of two or three in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brothers weeping eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own your kinship in the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When a brothers heart Is sad?
If a silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share 1t. IT'S the wise mans saying
For both grief and Joy a. place .
There's health and goodness in the
mirth
In which ar honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
BY a friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should q brother workman dear
Falter for a word Of cheer2.
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you go
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow.
So, until the happy end,
Your life shall never lack a friend.

Bismarck, N. D., March 15.-An-

take up his duties.
H. B. No. 27 which is known as the

passed and that it was enrolled and
started towards the governors Office
but it appears that up to the present
time it has not reached the executive
department. 1t is not probable that
anything can be done and it is not
known that it can become a law. ,

The library commission just at the
present time is busily engaged in re-
plying to requests for data on wom-
ans suffrage. 1t appears from the
number of letters that are received
daily that the people of the state are
interested in the matter and that it
will be a subject for debate in many
of the schools and clubs this spring.
The commission has also received n
request from Iidgerwood for assist
ance in the purchase of $500 worth of
books that are to be placed in the Ii
brary there this spring. Another
letter requests that Mrs. Budlong, the
secretary, go to Sykeston where they
are going to organize a library asso-
citation and they want the advantage
of her experience in that kind Of work.
All of the correspondence received by
the commission appears to indicate
that there is an increased interest in
the library proposition all over the
state.
The board of control of penal and
charitable institutions is going to open
bids today for the supplies for the
coming quarter and their rooms look

merchandise store. Samples Of goods
to be furnished have to be submitted
and they have come in every conceiv-
able manner. The entire board will
be present. The supplies to be pur-
chased include almost everything,
groceries, meats, clothing, shoes, to-
bacco and in fact all things necessary
to the running of a big institution.
Dairy Commissioner Flint has been
in the southwestern part of the state
this week holding dairy meetings. He
was at Mott Wednesday, Chandler
Thursday and Flasher Friday and will
be home this evening. Meetings next
week will be held in the northwestern
part of the state at Rugby, Kenmare,
Williston and Hannaford. e. A. Green
wood, one of the assistants in the de-
partment, is assisting at these meet
ings. 1t is probable taht Commission
err Pierce will hold the meeting at

to make the connections. f.. L, Mer-

The Jamestown Alert: The North
Dakota legislature adopted what is

passing OF a tax proposition for the
purpose OF building terminal elevators
witfin the state. Al half mill tax is
levied for this purpose, to provide eie-
vators whereby grain shipments can
set what is claimed fairer treatment
than has been accorded them during
the past q An argument against
the bill was that the grain business
was at best a speculative business, and
the state had no business with ST. but
the arguments for the bill could not be
overcome.
