high schools Of the state and has the
advantage Of participation in two de.
bates already this year, having defeat
ed LangdOn in one Of the regular de-
bates and East Grand Forks in n de-
bate outside of the league. Surrey is
a smaller and newer high school, but
is very well supported and has all the
enthusiasm Of youth. The debate
promises to be a spirited one Graf

The winner in this debate will be
one of the two teams who will have
the honor of appearing in the final de-
bate held on the evening of May 18th,

ton. Last year the team representing
Hatton appeared in the finals but was
defeated by Leeds! though they put
up a very strong debate. This year
they have been vowing to leave no
stone unturned in their efforts to win
the Herald cup. This trophy which
is the emblem Of victory in the league
contests has been won twice by Leeds
and INC by M~innewaukon. The school
that is able to win it three times will
have it for a permanent possession.

AN IMPORTANT HEALTH CON

world wide health movement OF the
twentieth century really amounts TO

felt-in the schools. The l%nternation-
al Congress on School Hygiene, TO be
held at Buffalo, y. Y, August 1890,
will be an international summing up
OF recent achievements In the hygiene
Of the school.
The congress is international and
national. Practically every foreign
country and every state in the United
States will be represented by dele
gates. SO far all the states but Okla

Maine, Florida and Kansas have been
heard from %fayorably. 1t is estimated
that at least 5000 delegates will be in
attendance, 1900 of them from abroad.
Many Of the most prominent scicn-
lists and educators in this and for

the meeting. A preliminary program
of the congress has been issued, cop

A VAST TRADE EXPANSION.

Every week nowadays figures come
to us from Washington showing that
the country's trade has reached d.
mansions never before touched. The
figures for the foreign commerce are
easily obtained by the government at
the country's chief ports and are, OF
course, accurate. Those for domestic
trade can only be inferred, but as the
mills are all running at full tine, and
as the home needs of a population
growing at the rate Of 1900 900 a
year are not only supplied. but a large
surplus Is left over for foreign con-
sumption, the volume of the activities
must be greater than evcr before.
Particularly gratifying is the news
Tat the iron and steel, exports are
touching the highest level V e reach
ed. For the 215 days reported upon in
the current fiscal year, 1915, 900, 900 Of
manufactures of iron and steel have
been exported by us. This 81 600 600
per day, which is likely to be kept up
for the remainder Of the year., shows
a larger increase in these articles than
has been attained in any other field
OF manufactures. For many years the
United States has been the largest
producer Of iron and steel products
OF any country in the world. The
fact that it is winning new markets
all over the world every year for its
wares in this line is q fne tribute
the skill Of it's people.
Another gratifying feature of our
foreign trade is its increase with
South America. Our imports from
South America in the past ten years
have abeen much more than doubled,
while u exports to that region in
that time have almost quadrupled.
While we may not be rising to the
entire level Of our opportunities in the
way of cultivating the commercial
friendship of our neighbors on the
lower half of the hemisphere, we are
not altogether %neglecting them. Man.
ufactures comprise 81 per cent Of our
exports to South America, while they
form only 80 per cent of our ship
ments to Europe and but ~ per cent
Of our total exports. If there should
be any check in this trade expansion
the country will readily see that It
will be due to what the democratic
party does or is expected to do. The
country's trade was in the best pos.

MR.. TAFT At NEW HAVEN.

That was a rOusing welcome given

tuition. The reception vas all the
more impressive because OF its sin.
cerity, its utter lack OF selfshness
and because IL was a spontaneous
tribute TO Individual worth. Perhaps
in all the period OF his public life
Mr.. Taft never experienced anything
just like it. He has been for many
years in places where things were

moment the famous Taft smile" was
absent and Mr.. Taft was overcome
with emotion. Here was genuine ar

three thousand undergraduates who
expressed enthusiastic pleasure be-
cause Mr.. Taft, just plain Mr.. Taft,

it is doubtful If Mrs. Taft ever re-

These were the words of greeting
from the former president. And they
were magnificent words, for they
came from a deep conviction Of duty
and opportunity. What a significant
contrast this scene presents to the
spectacular feats of another former
president who left his high Office to-
devote himself to %fonenting disorder

country's most cherished institutions.

Salary Limit MayCause Trouble
In International League.

All Clubs In Circuit Were Forced to
Reduce Salaries Of Pill Tossers.
Men Refuse to Sign-Evers' Con.
tract-Other Gossip.
BY TOMMY CLARK.


The enforcement Of the salary limit
in the International league is causing
q lot OF trouble and may result in 4
general revolt among the players. 10
date only a very small percentage OF
the players have accepted terms ten
dered them by their clubs, and the
chances are that a majority OF them
will absolutely refuse to report under
existing conditions. The salary limit
Of the league is $4,000 per month.
This limit was arbitrarily fixed on the
league by the National Association OF
Minor Leagues.
This limit naturally forced the clubs
to decrease the salaries of nearly all
their players, and of course in many
instances this was a hardship on the
players who have refused to sign their
contracts. The clubs. Of course, are
powerless. II they violate the salary
rule they are subject to a heavy fine,
and If they live up to it they are sure
to start the season with many Of their
best players out Of the fold.
II Johnny Evers is laboring under
the belief that he has Il three year
contract to manage the Chicago Cubs
he may find himself badly mistaken.
1t is said on the best Of authority that
while President Murphy rendered
Evers a three year contract the ten
day clause was not eliminated and that
it is possible for Murphy to drop Evers
at any time after giving him ten days
notice.
1t was only after Murphy had con-
WINGED Bresnahan that such was the
condition Of Evers' contract that the
duke" accepted the Cub terms. for. ac-
cording to reports. Bresnahan would
not have gone to Chicago unless be
stood a chance Of becoming Evers' sue
cessor. 1t is. OF course. surprising that
Evers. who is considered Il wise base
ball man, could be led to believe that
he had a three year contract when the
ten day clause was not stricken out.

Daily River BulIetin-Bismarck Dis

The gOrges which have formed in
the Missouri river between Bismarck
and Buford are gradually giving way
and the immense amount of water
that has accumulated is coming down.
There was an estimated stage Of TWEEN
ty-fve feet at Expansion and 20 feet
at Washburn, higher in each instance
by several feet than during 1910.
Williston wired this Office as fol.
lows: "River fell about 2 feet since
Yesterday. Two-thirds full of ice NOV
ing slowly. Gorge formed at Buford
broke during the night.
Word vas also received from Mr..
bridge, S. d., stating that the ice was
moving out slowly. From Cannon Ball
TO a point between Washburn and
Bismarck the ice remains, otherwise
the channel Is open.
The river at Bismarck rose gradu-
ally all day until 900 p. m, at which
time the stage was 1913 feet. There
was a slight fall for a short time, and
then a rapid fall, due to either a gorge
forming above Bismarck or the ice
moving out below, probably the for
Imer.
The lowest stage reached was at
$50 p. M, at which time the gage
read, 7.3 feet. At $3.50 p. m, the ice
began to run again and the river to
rise, and at 1920 p. M, the stage was
s. 0. feet. The last reading made was
at midnight, when the stage was 9.5
feet and rising. All residents of the
tlowlands between Glencoe and Paint
ed Woods have been warned to re-
move their effects to high ground.

If Joe sticks there may be some inter-

language telling what he thinks Of the

human family. But that's a matter for
