Daddy Bedtime
@. What ! Young
DTOTV FSenchman Saw
Ii the FIRE
Joseph Kept e4arina
Into che Fire.

@AHE children were watching the smoke curl slowly up the chimney.
I'VE like to watch the fire. add Evelyn.
Yes agreed Jack. "Dinah says w cal see pictures In the are"
"WenL" replied daddy, there have been people who have seen very
wonderful things h the fire."
"Are you going to tell us another fairy storyYs Evelyn asked.
mo; this is to be d real story about real people. There lived In France
long before y0u and I were born two clever brothers-Joseph and Ehenne
Their father was d papermaker. The family was quite well or and had 4
nice home In winter when it was cold outside they had beautiful roaring
fires in the open fireplace, and thctwo brothers would sit beside the cheerful
blaze studying their books
Joseph was a quiet young man who would often sit staring into the nre
for a long time He was thinking thinking thinking, all the time, though
stupid people said he was wasting his time.
Zone day al he thus stared into the flames his brother Euenne came In
and made some joking remark.
"a penny for your thoughts, brother he said Il Joseph Joseph smiled.
but did not take hR eyes OF the Gre. 8@ 1
"T do not know whether my thoughts are worth q penny, he answered
You zee how the hot air from the nre carries the smoke up and forces 1T out
OF the chimney. I was wondering il one filled a bag with hot air Ii lit would
not rise as the smoke does
I've can try 1t, the brother answered. grsa s#
They made the bag and held it over a IRE outdoors, so that the air rose
and filed it When the bag was full Of the heated air they let it and it
rose and hoated away until 1t was lost to view while the brothers watched 1T
with sparkling eyes.
THAT was the first balloon, and you may be sure the clever brothers kept
right o n making them and sending them up until all France had heard Of the
wonderful things and ven the king was 90 anxious to see them that he sent
for them to come and lei hin.
she told them to keep right on with their work, for he hoped that some
day they would dd a way Of making a balloon that men could 20 up in.
"The king gave many honors to their father, and he did not forget to honor
the brothers. though he knew that these good sons would be more pleased
with what he did for their nne old father than with anything he did for them.
Their last name was Montpelier. Remember that, for they made the first
balloons and started the work which led to the making OF the wonderful flying
machines we have now" #& I#%

Sonl1nue0 crom rage One
the entire population Of the city is de-
enden upon manufacturing for it's
subsistence and the money paid out
each year in this way is more than the
combined capital stock of all the banks
in the city.
The crowds at the show last week
were most gratifying. TO the mafTufac-
turers, of it is stated that 5000 visited
the show during the first day and we
r much indebted to the ladies for
their assistance in our opening. /
think 1t is q low estimate to say that
10000 attended during the week, not
counting the 500 children who attended
on the last day and who were much
pleased. I want to say that the on
duct Of the youngsters was beyond re-
proach and we were glad they at
tended. We look upon the boys of to-
day as the buyers Of tomorrow, ana
that when many OF us have gone from
this sphere of action the boys will ne
the ones who VIII have to keep the
present businesses alive and running.
Spirit Of Loyalty.
There was a splendid spirit of 10y
atty shown in the Home Products
show. for we were all together in the
show, helping III another all the
week, and I want to say that the three
new manufactures that were repre-
scented were all given d hearty well
come and each and every one OF the
older establishments did ali that was
possible TO cali attention to the new
ones. What was done at this show
was not done in a spirit OF Individual
ism, but all was done for Fargo. We
needed more space in which to show
our goods and it was really lucky that
all OF the manufacturers did not show
up, or we would not have known what
to do with them. II we all had this
spirit of loyalty to Fargo, continued
the speaker, I'VE would have d city
here in no time Of 10000.
Some Of the Results.
Il don't believe that the results Of
the show can be computed In dollars
and cents, but let me tell you this, that

near the Georgetown aqueduct bridge.
The building could scarcely have been
considered OF those priceless land
marks that should be left as a heritage
for the Americans that are to come.
Although it failed to save the build
ing. however. the Francis Scott Key
Memorial association undoubtedly did
some good by its efforts to ain that
end. 1t il well that Americans should
be prodded on subjects pertaining to
the forging OF the liberty they now
take SO much as q matter OF course.
The spirit Of Key, whatever may be the
shortcomings OF The star spangIed
Banner as a national anthem, was Of
the sort that a nation needs always.
The associations agitation has served
to stimulate interest, doubtless, in the
man and his times. 1t has recalled the
price that was paid for independence,
and here and there caused a little
deeper thinking and a little keener
patriotism.

OF BIRDS.

The Forum is pleased to note that
Henry Ford. wealthy manufacturer of
Detroit, has CHOSEN as a new and ex-
celiert hobby the movement which has
been launched by John Burroughs and
Ernest Thompson Seton, famous natur-
alists, looking to the protection OF mi
gratory birds in the United States.
Mr.. Ford Endorses the idea that the
cause may be promoted by the school
children, If the latter will urge their
parents to write to their congressman
urging g national statute for the pro-
lection OF the birds. A news item tell
ing of this idea and making an appeal
to9children and>others for assistance in
the fight for the birds win be found on
another page of this issue Of The
Forum.
It-is frankly admitted by men who
90 hunting that game is becoming
more scarce every year." and some of
the nimrods go further into the sub
ject than just to those aspects touching
their w pleasure. Upon broader
grounds it Is depressing to find that
any of the wild species Of America are
vanishing. Yet It appears to be a fact
that some of those specie are likely to
so the way OF the wood pigeon, which
formerly existed in veritable clouds"
hut which is now extinct.
There has been developed in the
United States a class OF wealthy hunt
Fers who can afford to follow the flight
of the game birds from section to Sec
tion, the result being that the winged
creatures have little or no time for
nesting and breeding.
The state laws are often a farce, par
tally because game wardens have un-
enlightened assistants. and partially
because public sentiment needs a great
deal Of educating.
But 1t is well known that the man
whc ignores a state law Is made sud-
denly contemplative when such a law
becomes federal in it's application and
enforcement.
For this reason The Forum hopes
that Mr.. Ford's latest special activity
may bring definite and speedy results.

TUESDAY JAN. q, 1918.
GOOD CITY WATER.

After many years of delay and vex-
atoms Fargo now a a supply Of pure
water. Every p~recaution has been
taken and although the purified water
has been coursing through the mains
for months, it was not until 1t had
been tested and retested n those in
charge were thoroughly confident that
1T wa perfectly safe for all purposes
that the announcement to that effect
was oficially made.
Perhaps Fargoans will have more
confidence in the statement of Prof. e.
#. Ladd, the state pure food commits
siener, regarding the purity of the wa
TED than in any other. "The water is
perfectly all right for all purposes"
said Professor Ladd. 1T is very low in
solids and is exceptionally pure. It is
better for drinking purposes than much
OF the artesian water"
The Forum has published full &C
counts OF the methods of publication
and OF the splendid big plant that sup
plies the city through the mains. The
water is taken from the Red river and
mechanically Uttered. It is now clear
and sparkling and can be used right
from the tap.
The fact that Fargo has an adequate
supply OF excellent water should be ad-
vertised constantly to the world. 1t
will be the means of bringing many
pe6Sle to the city and is in marked
contrast to the adverse advertising
that the city received for years because
or the poor water that was formerly
supplied through the city mains.

NJ AND FARM LABOR.

Whatever the changes in farm con-
ditions may have done for the farmer,
the matter of household labor is a more
serious problem than ever. This stu
alton is brought out in an official bull
letin on Wages and Farm Labor, writ
ten by George K. Holmes, chief of the
division of production and distribution
of the department Of agriculture, who
finds that the women either lack the
requisite training or are too proud to
do the women's part of the work
around a farm.
The investigator is inclined to blame
the efforts to get into society of some
sort, chiefly by means of women's
clubs, the Grange, the Maccabees, the
w. c. T. U. and church organizations.
Country girls have come to regard la
Dor for hire as undesirable, he says.
Lamenting the decadence Of the
woman Of a past generation, the bull
1etins says:
The old-time domestic products are
all but forgotten. The women Of the
farm make no more soap, candles. or
I've, and other domestic products of
former days. 1t is rare that n of the
younger of the women knows how to
knit. Throughout large areas the
pride of the housewife in the great
stores of preserved. dried or picked
fruits, berries and vegetables, exists
only in history, and dependence is
placed mostly upon the local store for
the products of the cannery and the
evaporation,
With the coming of the automobile,
i~nterurbans, rural free delivery and
parcel post, the isolated condition of so
many farmers families has been vast
ly improved, but the labor of cooking,
washing and housekeeping is not di-
minished, while the disposition to do
these things has visibly decreased. The
problem is a serious one and the field
for the invention of labor-saving ma
chinery is limited.
