finished President Wilson, accompanied
by the ex-president, fastened to the
Pennsylvania avenue side of the Capt.
toll, where carriages awaited to take
the party to the luncheon in the execu-
tive mansion.
All along their route up Pennsylva-
MIA ven the old and the new presi-
dents We're greeted tumultuously.
AT the executive mansion the two
were met by Mrs. Taft. who hitherto
had taken no part in the days cere-
monies, and a subcommittee of the of.
fetal reception committee. President
Wilson also saw for the first time since
early today Mrs. Wilson and their
three daughters, who had been under
the escort of special military aids dur
ing the ceremonies at the Capitol.
There was a brief exchange of COM
pliments between Mrs. Wilson and
| Mrs. Taft, in which the latter grace
fully turned over the suzerainty that
had been hers for the past four years
to the new mistress of the White
House. Soon afterward Mr.. and Mrs.
Taft quietly left through a rear en-
trance to take the 3:05 train from the
Union station for Augusta, Ga. Here
they will spend several weeks before
going to New Haven, where Mr.. Taft
will take up his work as professor of
law in Yale university.
The Great Parade.
Next to the great event, so essential
to the rest of today's celebration, the
great military and civic pageant this
afternoon held the public's interest.
Considered purely from a spectacular
viewpoint, it was not only by far the
biggest feature of the Inauguration,
but in many respects surpassed any
thing that Washington has seen in a
long series of inaugural spectacles.
The first grand division of the pa
rade was composed Of the Regular
naval and military forces, the West
Point cadets and the middies from
Annapolis. Next in line came the mil
tia division, including cadets from
try. The third division was made up
Of the veterans OF the Grand Army and
several other patriotic organizations.
Civic organizations, mostly political.
led the fourth grand division. which
included a band of Indians. students
from Princeton university and other
college men.

TRUCE IN FARGO SCHOOL WAR
Friends Of Hoover to Win Must Elect
Three Members of Board,

Three Members of Board.
Tt is probable hat a majority of the
Fargo board Of education ill make
no further attempt to secure a sue
cessor to Superintendent Hoover until
after the election in April.
Professor Slider of Idaho, who was
chosen, declined to accept in view of
the internal dissensions. .
There are nine members of the
board, three retiring annually. or the
three whose terms expire this spring,
two are against and one for Mr.. Hoo
yer. OF the remaining members four
are against and two for Hoover. In
order to control the board, Hoover's
friends must elect all three members
this spring. That would give them five
of the nine members and insure the
retention of Mr.. Hoover. Should one
OF the anti-Hoover candidates win it
will mean the retirement of the pres
ent superintendent.
A truce appears to have been ar
ranged temporarily, but the election
Of the three members will be holly
contested, as the citizens Of Fargo
are strongly divided on the proposition
and the friends of Superintendent
Hoover contend that he has a majority
Of the people for him.

RESULTS FROM SEVEN COWS
Farmers Revenue Averages $18 Per
Week All Winter.

One of the most profitable herds of
COWS in the state, considering their
number, is undoubtedly that of j. F.
Stone, a farmer living near Fessen-
den. According to reports received by
the Development League press bureau
at Grand Forks, Mr.. Stones revenue
from seven COWS has averaged $18
a week all winter. This profit comes
from selling cream at 80 cents a quart.
Owing to the fact that the COWS are
fed only on home grown feeds it is
difficult to estimate the cost of feed
ing. They are fed on forty pounds of
silage a day, ten pounds of ground
oats and barley and twelve pounds of
millet hay. In addition to the sale Of
cream thirty pigs were raised on
skinned milk and pasture and are
now being fattened on ground feed.
This is only one instance where a
few COWS and pigs have paid a larger
return on the investment of time and
money than did the big crops of the
farm.

Next North Dakota State Convention
to Be Held in September.

Lisbon was chosen by the executive
committee of the North Dakota W.. G.
T. U. as the place for the annual con-
vention next September. That city's
invitation was presented at the 1912
convention held in Devils Lake, but
no action was taken at the time. At
the annual meeting Of the executive
committee held in Bismarck the invi-
tation was renewed and the city sue
ceeded in securing the prize.
An active season Of work was
planned by the state committee at its
meeting in Bismarck. w. G. T u.
Institutes will be conducted in con-
~nection with at least three Chautau-
quas, those at Devils Lake, Valley
City and Tolley, and plans probably
will be adopted to include the Mandan
Chautauqua.
In addition to this work there will
be a series of district conventions the
latter part of May and June.

Four years of litigation between the
citizens Of Valley City and the North

summated at Bismarck, so far as the
North Dakota railroad commission is
concerned, by the rendering of a de-

Three years ago the courts granted
the citizens a temporary injunction,

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS
President Wilson Briefly Outlines
Changes Needed.


Washington, March 4.-President
Wilson's inaugural address was COM
paratively brief. He referred to the
greatness Of the nation and the mag
nitude of our industries, but declared
we have not hitherto stopped thought
fully enough to count the human cost,
the cost of lives snuffed out, of ener-
gies overtaXed and broken, the fear
full physical and spiritual cost to the
men and women and children upon
whom the dead weight and burden OF
it all has fallen pitilessly the years
through.
Speaking of existing conditions that,
in his opinion, should be changed,
President Wilson included the follow
ing as the chief items:
A tariff which cuts us off from our
proper part in the commerce of the
world, violates the just principles Of
taxation and makes the government a
facile instrument in the hands of pri-
vate interests; a banking and curren-
cy system based upon the necessity Of
the government to sell its bonds fifty
years ago and perfectly adapted to con-
centrating cash and restricting cred
it's; an industrial system which, take
it on all sides, financial as well as ad-
ministrative, holds capital in leading
strings, restricts the liberties and
limits the opportunities OF labor and
exploits without renewing or conserv-
ing the natural resources of the coun-
try; a body Of agricultural activities
never yet given the efficiency of great
business undertakings or served as it
should be through the instrumentality
Of cience taken directly to the farm
or afforded the facilities OF credit best
suited to its practical needs; water.
courses undevelOped, waste places un.
reclaimed, forests INTENDED, fast dis.
appearing without prospect of renewal

Convictions of women violators of

operates a hotel at Geneseo, has been
found guilty. She was first arrested
two years g and a signed confession
was secured. Prosecution was de-.
ferred on her promise to observe the
law. but repeated recent complaints
led to to the prosecution on the old
charges. She will appeal.
