An Incentive to Save.

A California man Of 30 has been left
$4,000 by his uncle on condition that
he first earn and save $1,000 Of his
ocn. Untill che thousand is secured
in the manner designated the bequest
will lie dormant.
One is inclined to commend the
Judgment of the uncle. If young
man has not sufficient will power to
accumulate $1,000 he is not likely to
possess the wisdom necessary to handle
five times that amount handed to him
as a gift.
The world is full of men whose men
tai vision extends no further than the
next pay day who have no more notion
of saving money than they have Of
growing tail feathers. Their acquain-
lance among pool room habitues is far
more extensive than among receiving
tellers. A weeks idleness means a
doubtful account at their grocers.
This young Californian will either
get his uncle's bequest, or he will not
deserve it. In either case the money
will not be wasted.-Bowbells Tribune.

TOURNAMENT.

The Grand Forks o. G. T. baseball
team will be winner. The local trav.
elers have been busily engaged in or

a dandy.
In the grand council tournament,
which will be held at Crookston in
June, the local team anticipates MAX
ing a strong bid for honors.
Tim McIlraith is to be the back
stop, and his fund Of experience in
that department will make him a val
liable adjunct.
AS pitchers there are George Tier
ney, ]. Burke Raymond, Jerry Finch,
H. McIlraith, and others.
Merrill is looked upon as the likely
first baseman; Louis Widman will
play second, Joe Daily at short, with
Finch and McIlraith probably chang
ing off at third.
Tn the outfeld there will be such
stars as stokesberry. Charles King,
George Chaffee, o. orter, Ed. John
son and several Others.
George Nelson is manager Of the
team, while Joe DAILY is captain.

ing to the fact that the weather was

It Is a Gasoline Age, MIR. Bede.

The Hon. J. Adam Bede, now on the
circuit giving friendly three round de-
batting exhibitions with the Hon. Emil
Seidel, contributes his mite to the the.
DRY of the high cost Of living.
Mr.. Bede declares that millions of
families are today spending more mon
ey for gasoline than their grand
parents spent for groceries.
To which it may be added that they
also spend more money for groceries
than their grandparents did, at that.
Those were comparatively frugal
days, Mr.. Bede. If the cost of living is
high nowadays it is largely because
general standards of living are higher
and life is more complex. People gen
orally make moro money and spend
more money-and no doubt, as Mr..
Bede intimates, burn lot Of money
in the form of gasoline.
N eeds multiply and standards Of
living rise pretty steadily in this in
ventive and forward-looking democra-
cy, and the great thing needed to con-
tinue the process and avoid the enforc-
ed setting in of the reverse tendency
is better stewardship Of our still abun-
dant land and natural resources.-Mil-

The transfer of the fourth class post
masters differs in no wise from these
other transfers, by which the classified
service has been built up. Every Off
cial in the public service ought to be
able to respond to real te-t of merit,
and if he fails ought to be replaced
by some one who is competent, but it
does not follow that every official
should stand or fall on his ability to

job for some other applicant might
submit to him, nor is it likely that

This year every citizen should take
a deep interest in the welfare of the
city. If you sincerely believe that
conditions are prevalent that need
changing, don't be afraid to start
something. This year the very best ef-

Only Hoodlun,s Can Cause War.

Only Hoodlums Can Cause War.
Japan knows very well that if she
became fully involved in war with the
United States, Russia and Germany,
certainly, and perhaps others, would
not lose the psychological moment for
helping themselves to Asiatic territory
at her expense. She would lose Man
churia and Korea, for which she has
fought, to gain what's The United
States might well exercise an equal
perspicacity as to the fact that when
we became tied up in such fight the
earth-hungry persons would seek ter
ritorial gains in South America, with
the Monroe Doctrine broken into frag-
ments.
For these reasons Japan cannot be
induced to fight this government, un-
less she is subjected to Sights that are
uncomfortable. The Japanese are sensi.
tive even to feudal degree on the
point of honor, and it is possible for
hoodlumism to intlict Sights that will
drive her to resist them. But if our
mob clement can be kept within limits
war with Japan is an impossibility.

Throwing Paper in the streets.

Throwing Paper in the Streets.
A man on the street car took lot
of circulars and other mail matter
from his pocket, and, after examining
it,, put back what he wanted to
keep and then tore up the remainder
and threw it out Of the car window
into the street. That man not only
violated the law, but he ignored the
duty of good citizenship. No one has a
right to scatter paper in the street. It
makes the streets unsightly and is an
offense to taste and good order. A
man who doesn't know any better
lacks a sound understanding. The law
against throwing paper in the street
ought to be rigidly enforced. 1t would
be a mighty healthy thing to see in
the police reports that Zachariah Funk
was fined SIS and costs for throwing
paper in the streets. Such an incident
would soon put an end to the offense.
