~ A Little Girl
9fOYV Who Had
Never Seen Snow
Never Seen Snow


M ACK and Evelyn thought IT very nice to have a snowstorm once An
awhile. They liked to watch the big fakes coming down and pHlng
one on top Of another until they made great big drifts and oiled up the
SD paths.
But what DO you think Of 4 little girl who has never seen anowrs daddy
inquired,
Jack and Evelyn said they would feel sorry for her
"Wels" daddy went IN, "se may have missed some fun, but little girls
who live where there is no snow have other things to make up for IT,
lilly was q little girl whose mother and father had spent d great many
years in India. In India ts very warm. There is no snow there except on
the tail mountain tops
When Lily was seven years old her parents came back to the United
States to live. Lily thought it q very strange place
Lilly went to live with her grandma and grandpa, and, though the house
was warm and comfortable, little Lily would shiver when she went out into
he cold.
"one evening when she went to bed grandpa said to her. when you get
ap in the morning we wiIyhaye something to show you that you have never
seen in India
Lily wanted to know what 1T was, but grandpa shook his head and
laughed. Come to the window and look out he answered. Then be pointed
to the sky, which was covered with gray clouds. TT will come from there
be said.
Lily wondered what he could mean, but grandpa only smiled. Run to-
bed, my dear and while you are asleep the fairies will be- getting a surprise
ready for you'
Lily was go anxious to know what the surprise would be that she could

I'm the morning when she got out Of bed Lily RAJ to the window. She

"Oh, grandpa; OH grandma, come and see; the ground is covered with
froshng just like grandmais fruit cakeF
Lily learned better Grandpa bought her q little sled and taught her to

SATURDAY, JAN. Is, 1919.
THE Law.

The order of Judge Pollock regard
ing the enforcement OF the law which
prohibits selling cigarettes. cigars or
tobacco to minors, the prohibition of
minors from a poolroom and
the prohibition Of gambling devices,
and the announcement that this order
is to be strictly enforced by States
Attorney Fowler and Sheriff Ross.
viii be welcomed by all Fargo citizens
who have the best interests at heart.
Fargo, as the leading educational
city OF the state, is the temporary
flower of the young manhood and
young womanhood of the state. These
young people come to Fargo at the
most critical period of their lives. The
city owes it to them and to the state.
to3see that they are not surrounded by
Influences that emo to lower their
physical, mental and moral make
up.
Judge Pollock, in issuing the order
stated that its inception was in the
difficulty he found in dealing with
minor delinquents. He said: Il am full
~ persuaded that the root of much of
the evil car be traced to three things.
the cigarette habit, the use of slot ma
chimes and the peolroom vice"
These are the words Of a man who
has made a study of crime for years,
because it has been his business to
deal with crime and criminals. He
finds that indulgerces seemingly OF
little harm in themselves perhaps,
lead to vicious habits and finally
make many of those who participate
in them criminals before the law. The
Forum believes That laws are made to
be- enforced and it commends the ac-
tion taken by these officials.

.I7HE N, 0. PANAMA gxHlsIT.

The Forum believes that it would be
9 sorry mistake. purely from a busi-
ness standpoint for North Dakota to.
have an exhibit at the Panama exposi-
tiensthat was In the least skimped by
an inadequate appropriation, 1t would
be almost as serious a mistake to go
In with South Dakota or any other
STATE son a joint exhibit proposition.
The Panama exposition is going to
be n Of the greatest worlds fairs in
history. The very magnitude of the
achievement 1t commemoEates insures
this. Millions OF people from this and
other nations will attend. Not for de-
cades, ~prohsbly, will there be another
such opportunity to lay the advantages
ef Rerth Dakota before such mighty
cpncourses of people as there will be
at-San Francisco in 1915.
4 NeFth Dakotans are proud of their
a~tate-pFoud Of its fertile wealth pro-
ducing plains and OF It's unlimited beds
OF Ignite coal and brick and pottery
sclayTproud of its growing dairy and
aather industries. The state should be
represented at the exposition by a build
ing and an exhibit typical of the state
and its resources. The exhibit should
be made along broad lines and should
not be hampered by lack Of funds.
North Dakota is crossed by two
great tFanseontinental railroads. Thou
sands will so through the state E
these roads either going to or returns
ms from the exposition. Undoubted-
ly many could be induced to stop of
on the return trip IL the right impress
sion was made by the North Dakota
exhibit.
AZ for going In with South Dakota,
ftheHfact that it would cheaper the x
hibit for beth states to such an ex-
tent as to practically nnIlify the effect
should be sufficient to condemn the
plan. This state Is big enough and
wealthy enough to take its place in
the sisterhood Of states with a charac-
~teristic exhibit Of its own.
ia make an inadequate a~ppropria-
ttion on the ground Of saving money for
the state would be false economy.

CRY BOOKKEEPING.


Success in business, or in anything
else, is largely a matter OF applying
systematic business-iike methods. The
Forum believes that this is Just as
true in running the business Of a
city or any other form Of Cavern
ment. 1t believes that the commits
sion form of government is the more
business like way of conducting the
business of the city and that Is the
reason this paper has taken a stand
In favor of the commission form Of
government for Fargo.
In its last weeks issue. The Sat
urday Evening Post has the follow
ing editorial which tends to prove,
this.
A goodly number of cities do keep
books correctly and publish fiscal
statements that are at once inclusive,
reasonably concise and ineligible.
We know this because they have been
sending us their balance sheets ever
since we wrote something on the sub-
ject OF blind, muddled municipal ac-
counting over a month ago.
Why should not every city do it-
presenting to the citizens a statement
of income, outgo, debts and money
on hand at least as comprehensive
and easily understandable al that
which every well conducted public
service corporation presents to its
stockholders? Cross incompetence in
city government and a desire to eon
ceal the truth are the only reasons
we can think of for n city's re-
fusal TO do SO. Either eason should
be sufficient to make citizens sus-
picious.
We notice the cities that have sent
us their model balance sheets are all
of middle or small size, and that all
most every one OF them lis under a
commission form of government, In
deed, almost every OF the LETT
ters contains a sentence which refers
the beginning of ineligible account
ing in that city to the time when the
commission form of government was
adopted,
Is there not a suggestion here for
cities that have not adopted the COM
mission form?

KINDLY WORDS FOR
MRS. TOWNSEND
LAST SAD RITES OVER THE re-
MAINS OF A WOMAN WHO HAD
DONE MUCH TO CHEER THE
THEATRICAL PEOPLES VISITS
TO THE CITY OF FARGO.

From the hall Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic and Women's Relief
Corps. where she had been an attend
ant at ali of the meetings when her
health permitted, the remains OF Mrs.
Samuel s.. Townsend were carried to
their last resting place in Riverside
cemetery yesterday afternoon, being
borne by members Of the @. A. r.,
Messrs. Hill, Halderman, Kennedy,
Newton, Barrett and Perry.
The casket occupied a place direct
ly in front of the platform and was
completely hidden by the numerous
noral offerings that were sent by low
ing friends and different organisations.
There were pieces from the g. A. r.
and ladies' organization of the same,
from the theatrical employees and from
the Fargo Theatrical Co. and others.
When the ceremonies began at 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the room
was filled, the services being conduct
ed by Rev. r, A. Beard of the First
Congregational church OF which the
deceased was a member and attend
ant. Very tenderly did he speak of her
good works, and of the kindness of her
heart, Kindly did he talk of the the
atrieal women who were the particu-
lar friends of both the dead woman
and her bereaved husband. He told
how for years the two had each spring
and summer carried to the different
theatres flowers that were of their own
raising TO cheer these people who
have no home and are among the
hardest working people in the world, E
said the speaker, and let q little sun
shine and cheer into their always
dreaPy existence.
All over this country said DIR.
Beard, there will be tears shed when
the theatrical people know that their
friend is no nor 1t isn't all of life
to do just one great big thing in this
world, but the one who o about day
after day with a kindly look and a
smile for those about him is practic.
ing a religion of which there is none
better. These kindly acts and good
words make up a great deal in life, not
only for those for whom they ars in
tended but for those who give and ut
ter thenl.ts
During the services Miss Evelyn
Dare Of the Orpheum theatre and Mrs
Brown rendered in q beautiful manner
several selections that were loved By
the dead woman. Undertaken Dough-
erty had charge of the funeral and art
err reaching the cemetery the remains
We're placed in the vault until spring.
The hall was beautifully decorated
In flowers and the national colors, two
flags being placed at the head and two
at the foot Of the casket, for Mrs
Townsend loved America and ali that
pertained to patriotic sentiments and
actions.
