YAcK had lost an umbrella. 1t as the third umbrella Jack had lost since

1T was in China and the east that Mr. Jonas Hanway first saw peouIe going
about in the rain carrying umbrellas over their heads.
He thought it such a fine idea that when he got home to England he had
a cloth umbrella made for himself. This was about 1853 ear ago.
"One rainy day after he got his umbrella MIR. Hanway raised 1t and started
out o the streets. holding it over his head. Such a sight had never before been

FULL CREWS AND PASSES.

The full crew railroad legislation
now pending in many states may re
suit In the adjustment Of one of the
established privileges of railroading,
free transportation for employees and
their families. This action has al
ready been threatened general man.
ayers of Colorado roads and indica
lions are that others will adopt the
same course. 1t is argued that the
proposed laws will necessitate the
curtaiiment of operating expenses
somewhere n the ak may fall on the
free pass"
One prominent Chicago r~aiIroader
thus expresses the position of the
managers:
There arc 10000, 900 railway en-
ploycs in the United States. There
are about five persons in the average
family and, assuming hat each m
ployee represents a family, they repre-.
sent a total of $500, 900 persons to
whom transportation is now freely
given. This figure represents about
8 per cent of the population of the
country. AS a class, railway employ
es are very well paid, and therefore
do not need free transportation II
more than any other class of per-
sons"

A CITY MARKET.

There will be a great deal for the
new commission to do when 1t comes
into power. For some time Fargo
has needed a market place. Many
market 'agitations" have been start
ed in the past but none Of them have
come to anything more than talk. The
need of a market is admitted, the pos
sibility Of getting one seems to be
very plausible, but somehow it has
never been put through.
In the Town Development talk in
The Forum Saturday this question
was discussed. The suggestion was
made that part of the park property,
just south Of the Doyle barn could be
used for that purpose.
Perhaps when Fargo's new commits
sion gets into control, it will be pos
sible to get definite action on a mar
ket. Cooperation between the COM
merCial club and the commission
would undoubtedly solve this problem.

MONDAY, APRIL q, 1918.
FREE TRADE AND WAGES.

From present indications the demo-
cratic administration will put the
country on practically a free trade
basis. Will this mean cheap wages?
The Saturday Evening Post comments
on Free Trade Without Low Wages as
follows:
Every new statement Of British for
eign commerce enforces the point that
free trade may mean cheap goods
without meaning low wages. our ex-
ports have more than doubled in fif-
teen years, and so have Ehgland's.
She still sells abroad much more man
ufactured goods h any other ma
tion-which, of course, she could not
do if her goods, on the whole. were not
cheaper than those of other countries
and at the same time she continues
to pay the highest wages in Europe.
While the United Kingdoms foreign
trade has more h doubled in fifteen
years. it Is an interesting fact that our
own share in that trade, on both sides
Of the ledger, has increased relatively
less than that Of any other big divi-
sion Of the world. British exports to
US during the period have increased
less than SO per cent, while exports 10
India, Australasia and Germany have
increased almost 100 per cent; to Can
ada more than fourfold. Imports from
Asia, South America, Australasia and
Africa have increased nearly $50 per
cent; from Europe one-half, but from
North America only one-third.
After all our agitation on the sub
ject, the United Kingdom still sells
South America nearly 81 worth OF
goods to our 81. You will find many
ingenious explanations of this fact,
but the simplest one is that England Is
the best market to buy in-though
paying higher wages than any Europ-
a. competitor.

The Janitor and the Peanuts.

The Popular Magazine: Earl God
win, who writes human interest stuff
for several newspapers. went to the
department of agriculture in Wash
ington one day. and secured q. peck of
diseased peanuts. The scientists IN
the department were having a hot ar
guments as to whether or not the pea
nuts, If eaten. would kill a human be-
ing, and Goodwin took the edibles to
his office to have them photographed.
He saw a big story in the fact that
the. high browed scientific men could
not tell when a peanut was fatal.
The next morning, when he entered
his Office, he found that the whole
peck was gone. He instituted a
search, and finally discovered that the
colored janitor had stolen and eaten
the peanuts. r.
After keeping the janitor under OBJ
servation for three days, and seeing
that he neither peeked nor pinned,
