Takes Rap At Bell Phone

A publication styled the "Postal
Telegram" in its April issue takes
poke at the Bell Telephone and West
ern Union companies for uniting
their Offices in many of the smaller
towns and cities and in some in
stances abolishing the telegraph Of
flee entirely. 1t quotes many press
comments and refers to the two as an
illegal combination stating that it's
aim is to ultimately force the Postal
Telegraph company out of business.
If the service is unsatisfactory in
any of the cities where the telegraph
Offices have been entirely abolished
the company should by all means be
made to re-instate these offices or
make a satisfactory explanation to
the public.

It has none. Not because it should
not have one, but because Of lack of

lack of "Team Work." Little North

as the North Dakota Development

all the papers of Importance through

With the opportunities and re-

those of any other state in. the Union,
it almost looks like "Joke'' not to
have an up-to-the-minute publicity

time to begin is now and action

Teaching Safety

New York public schools recently
celebrated Safety Day. In each class
the teacher gave special lessons on
care and caution in everyday life, to
prevent accidents in our industrial
life and at large. The lessons were
REINFORCED with short stories to
make the subject more interesting.
How to cope with accidents. the. re-
suit of gasoline and other combus-
tibles, electricity, machinery, lakes
and rivers. In other words, a course
in first aid to the injured. With the
approach of the outing season on
lakes and in woods where profession
al skill is too distant to be of any
use, such knowledge is always Of in
finite value. There are many more
outing seasons to come; many more
lives to be saved. Why not lock the
door before the horse is stolen?
Superintendent W.. P. Dyer has
already installed such a course in the
.Bemidji schools, having a text book
entitled Emergencies" which is
taught the children in the fifth grade.

partment and considers the study Of

The figures of the last census, when

that the movement of the production
of grain under natural conditions has
reached it's western limit. Since 1856
the "median point (center) of pro
duction of the six great>crops-c
wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buck
wheat-was about 20 miles west
southwest Of Burlington, Iowa; but It'll

years was comparatively very small

In root growth alfalfa resembles red
clover, but sends down a stronger tap
root. When properly handled it pro-
duces three or four cuttings each
year and remains productive for many
years Land which is adapted to red
clover usually grows alfalfa when
any lack of incubation and of lime il
supplied.

cross Kedzie avenue. He was about
two feet in front of me- l think he
must have come off the eastbound
Twenty-second street car and have
been trying to get over to catch the
Lawndale one.
81 heard the roar Of the Tribune
auto truck. 1 stopped to watch it.
Hay had taken about three steps
from the curbing when the truck
swept up. The front wheel of the
truck struck him and knocked him
down. The chauffeur stopped the
truck before the back wheels went
over the fallen body.
81 heard no auto horn-just the
roar of the motor. It seemed to me
that the chauffeur of the truck was
trying to beat the Twenty-second

be taking ordinary precautions in

Deputy Coroner Webster.
Eyes," she replied. 'It seemed to
me that he used due caution, but the
auto truck came too fast for him to
escape it."

He said that Hay just walked right
into the side of the truck, sank to
his knees and crawled under so that
the trucks rear wheel passed over
him. He said the driver of the truck
stopped Immediately.
The jurors looked puzzled while
Cribben was giving his testimony. It
was evident they were wondering
how on earth a man ever came
to walk right into the side Of
an auto and then get under the rear
wheels an auto going slowly.
Where were you at the time Of the
accident?" Cribben was asked.
"In the car starters booth, which
is about fifteen feet from the south
west corner of Kedzie and Twenty
second street, he said. 81 saw it all
plainly"

minutes silence, don't you think

August Poncky, brass shop fore
man, gave what was perhaps the
most damaging evidence against the
Tribune.
At the time of the accident, Poncky
was sitting on the northwest corner
