Electric Display and
Industrial Show at
A.C. Is Huge Success
Engineers Certainly Fulfilled Every Promise Z
They Have Arranged
ArmCry Was Crowded to the Limit During ths reEveaine
and All Enjoyed the Many Featurgg
This Exhibition Is One Of the Most Interesting ali instructive
That Was Ever Seen ii Fargo

In order to express the degree Of
success that attended the open night
of the electric and Industrial show
given by the lyceum Of engineers at.
the agricultural college last evening,
the word success should be spelled
with big capital letters. The crowds
began arriving before O'Clock and
throughout the evening the big arm
ory was completely filled.
The engineers certainly kept their
promise with regard to the display
features; for If anything electrical
escaped them. it was not noticeable
among the multitude of apparatus,
machines and appliances for the use
of electricity. II would be quite inn
possible TO enumerate the various fea-
lures, many of which were scientific
in nature but most of the exhibits of
commercial articles The electric
railroad was the first to catch the
eye, on entering the hall. An electric

equipped freight and passenger trains,

Just year ago now there met here
In Fargo before the state high school
board representatives from some
thirty schools and communities all
asking to be designated as one OF the
first Ave schools to maintain depart
ments under this new law. Grafton
was one Of the fortunate schools. The
other four were Velva, Beach, La
Moure and Darlington.
Service is the key note of all sue
cessful and efficient human endeavor.
We are beginning to recognize this
more every day. This is certainly
true Of all public service corporations.
Street car lines, telegraph and tele-
phone companies, railroads, Depart
ment stores, modern factories--all
know that in order to succeed to the
highest degree they must be unselfish,
almost altruistic. Now, the modern
high school has as its chief character
istic this same attitude. The old
cultural school was q closed corpora
ton which admitted only the elite who
could squeeze past Certain narrow
pillars OF entrance and permitted no
deviation from the narrow way OF
the prescribed course Of study. But
the modern high school believes that
1t has definite work to do, that it
is the peoples college, and that IL ex-
lists Tor the best good of all. And so
in this latest department added to it's
other activities the note of service
is the fundamental characteristic of
all endeayor. The agriculture course
Is there for the benefit of all who will
take advantage of it. It's purpose is
to serve all. Now, this cannot be done
even indirectly with any marked re-
suits unless 1t extends it's influence
beyond the four walls OF the school
room. So extension is fundamental to
success in any good agriculture high
school. Minnesota recognizes this so
fully that she has set aside the sum Of
slbOO,0O0 for extension work in con
Inection with her agricultural college
and state schools. This sum is ex-
actly the same that Is available for all
purpose at Bismarck this winter. And
yet agriculture is certainly the basic
and only universal industry in North
Dakota
N. o. High Schools.
I'm these five schools here In North
Dakota we try to spread abroad the
idea that they are maintained for the
GOOD of all the farmers within reach.
We aim to reach out and get into per-
sonal contact with every farmer and
his problems. And this for good mum

IS GUILTY.
NOT INSANE

kansas City. NO. Jan. 17.g Guilty
was the verdict returned in federal
court in Kansas city, Kan, today in
the case of Wells Lounsberry, of Med
ford, Ore, who last August robbed a
mail car of the Union Pacific overland
train between Kansas City and Law
renee. The verdict was returned on one
count. According to the courts in
struction each count calls for a SEN
tence of ten years Imprisonment.
Insanity was the defense plea. Ex-
perts denied that Lounsberry was i'm
sane. Lounsberry held up six mall
clerks, forcing one to bind the others,
rified the registered mail and hid in
the Pullman, where he was captured
by the conductor
Wells Lounsberry was former res
ident of North Dakota and had an ex
press run out Of Mandan. He was
badly injured in the head in rail-
road accident years ago and Is said to
have acted queerly since.

wise teachers at our colleges have said
that dual qualities could not be main
tanned.
An annual was issued in 1912 by the
English Dairy Shorthorn association
giving the milk records Of 243 cows for
that year. The cows were in milk on
the average 29411% days. The lactation
periods In many instances were not
completed. and quite a number Of the
animals We're heifers. The average
production in. milk was 7.518.SS
pounds. The males, the progeny of
these. when grown into beef invaria-
bly, do well. The steers grown on
skimmilk and adjuncts during the milk
period are positive favorites with the
butchers. They attain to a large de-
velopment. especially during the Sec
ond year Of growth. and it is claimed
chat the beef produced by those ami
mails is better marbled than when the
calves are reared upon the dam. In
the latter instances the maturity is
frequently premature, and the external
fat is excessive. 0.
