John Lawton's Home,

Duluth Herald: A bank out in
Spokane is circulating as an ADVERTISE
ment q story worth telling.
The hero is called John Lawton,
though that is not his name.
He is a mechanic on moderate pay,
with a wife and child to uppor He
lived in a small, cramped house on a
small, cramped lot, and paid rent
enough for it, in all conscience.
John Lawton and his wife got the
homecoming fever, and decided they
would like to own a home of their
own, with room enough to spread out.
They wanted room for the little one
to play in, and they wanted a space
in the back to raise vegetables and
MOVERS Where they were living the
child had to play in the street and all
anybody raised in the back yards was
tin cans.
But they had no money.
That didn't daunt them, however,
and this is the plan they adopted:
John and his wife held a convention
one evening and mapped out a course
OF action. Johns wife was to play
the role Of heartless boss, and her first
step in that role was to demand a 10
per cent cut in his wages. That is,
proceeding under the assumption that
there had been a 10 per cent cut. she
took 10 per cent of his wages and
with what she could save out of the
household expenses put it in a saw
lngs bank to draw interest.
they realized, you see, that if there
had been such a cut in Johns wages,
they would have got along"
So they got along with 10 per cent
less than they had beer living on.
They got along with less than that,
for when they began to study, and to
study Jointly and work Jointly, they
found quite q few places where ex-
penses could be trimmed.
John made q little extra money oc-
casionally, and when that came in, in
stead of buying something they had
coveted, they stuck it in the bank. too.
1t got to be quite an interesting
game-interesting enough to make up
for the little privations it involved.
Presently, with the savings bank
interest added in, they found they had
$500.
There was their capital. It was
enough for u first payment, and they
already had their new home in mind.
They made that first. payment, and
moved in. 1t was a day to celebrate,
and celebrate they did, but not ex-
pensively. =
From then on things looked bright
err" continues the story, for the rent
was saved and went promptly to the
bank to swell the fund and paw off
the notes. Then they went to work
to improve the property. Trees were
planted, shrubs were set out and the
house put in thorough repair by John
on holidays and after working hours
An incidental fact, and one that
was not really needed to add strength
to the story, is that shortly after this
a boom came along, and John Law
toms home sold for twice its cost
enabling them to build a finer place
in the suburbs with more land to be
planted with shrubs and flowers and
vegetables.
That is a story that almost any
body in Duluth can duplicate by his
own ~eXperience-if he will.
Even the boom part will happen
first thing you know; and that's a
mighty good reason for starting that
bank account now.

In memory of Samuel ,Coleridge-

music lives. 1t was his own, and drawn
from vital fountains. 1t pulsed with
his own life, but now it is his i'm

Too young to die-his great simplicity
his happy courage in an alien world,
his gentleness, made all that know
him love him.

FARGO COLLEGE,.

Fargo COvets the title of being d
''city of homes" It is a beautiful little
city. It's summer climate is excellent
and it has many patriotic citizens who
4ove it and who are endeavoring to
make it an ideal place in which to
alive,
Among the important features OF a
tity that aSpires to be a place where
people will delight to settle down and
rall it their home town." are its edu-
Eational facilities. People with chill
dren demand good schools, and a city
Ihat is we'll supplied with all kinds of
Educational institutions has gone a long
Way toward the goal Of being a home
CITY,
Fargo has excellent schools. This
has always been one of its boasts and
almost anyone can recall some friend,
who has given this as II Of the rea-
sons for coming to Fargo TO live. Now
pne of the most important Of these
schools Is in danger of being closed up
Tor lack Of funds.
There is no use in mincing words.
t'hcse are the cold, bald facts laid be-
fore the citizens of Fargo last night.
Unless Fargo college can get immcdi-
ate help from Fargo it will be COM
PEELED to close up. and several thou
sand students will be moved out Of the
population at one stroke.
The college plant is in excellent con-
dition. 1t has Il lot of valuable prop
cTty, clean Of encumbrance. 1t has
moe students enrolled than ever be-
fore in its history, but it lacks the
funds necessary to meet the heavy ex-
pense involved in running a great in
stitution.
Fargo college is not like d state in
stitution. 1t must depend on cndoW-
ment for its support. The amazing
fact was brought out last night that
this institution, which has meant so
much TO the progress and prosperity Of
Fargo. has only received $4,000 from
Fargo citizens, outside the board Of
trustees.
1t seems to The Forum that here is
an excellent opportunity for some Far
goun who has accumulated consider
able wealth in his city-and there are
Il number Of such men-to do a mighty
big stroke for Fargo. Those in charge
of its affairs are now on the right
track. They propose now, to do what
they should haV lone before, to put
the financial side of the institution into
the charge of a committee of hard
headed, responsible business men.
If the immediate crisis can be pass
cd the future of the institution seems
to be assured. 1t seems to be up to
Fargo to meet the crisis.

Big WINNIPEG
HOTEL BURNS

Winnipeg, Man, Dec. 10.-Leland ho-
tel, one of the finest hotels in WIN
nipeg. and one of the oldest in the
| city, was practically destroyed by fire
Saturday night which broke out at 10
O'clock in the kitchen located on the
fourth floor.
The fire spread to the third and
which were poured in from the high
pressure system copmleted the loss.
Water was poured in in a flood
from the top to the basement and
Mac Roachon, d well known curler,
who is proprietor, states that there
will be no rebuilding of the ruined
building, but it will be torn down and
a handsome hotel built on the site,
which is to be one of the most de-
sirable in the city, facing as it does on
the north side the city hall square,
On the east side the Union bank, a
~tWelve-story structure, II to the
south, the ,Bijou theatre, the White
and Manahan block.
The theatre escaped, but the White
and Manahan block was badly damag-
ed b. an overflow from the high
pressure.
Inc insurance was only $1UU,0UO,
while the damage Will run to $780,
900. The night was intensely cold. The
weather to date has been fine, but
Saturday night the flremen and their
ladders were coated with ice.
A keen northwest wind was blowing
a gale, adding to the discomfort Of the
fire fighters.
To the southwest Of the fire center
is the great wholesale center of Win
nipeg, and had the high pressure wa
to-. system not confined the flames
to the hotel, the los would have been
enormous.
The hotel was a nine-story struc-
ture and many Of the female help had
retired and escaped only in their night

Over 100 guests had to be accom-
modated in other hotels and suffer in
many cases a loss of baggage. The

shop n Leland grill room were also
burned out.

Views on the Presidents Message

Philadelphia Bulletin: On the
whole, the message indicates a care
full avoidance Of the radical, and while
there is little that is positive in it,
there is assurance, in the negative
which it gives to the fear of a disturb
ing policy of continued crusading, and
experimental reforms.
Atlanta Journal: The message was
marked in it's entirety by the same
breadth and s~uccinctness that has
made each Of the presidents preced-
ing addresses to congress distinctive
and Statesmanly, The enthusiasm
with which it was received is cheer
ing proof Of the unity of purpose that
obtains between the executive and the
legislative branches of our govern
ment and forecasts a harmonious and
faithful record for the regular session
Of congress that has just opened.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: The best
in American craftsmanship is reflect
ed in every paragraph of this spoken
message. The president sees clearly
and speaks plainly. His references to
PSoSS oIlu IAiO GLCA1SdIl ~
ton bespeaks the disposition of Am
orleans generally to dwell in friend
ship with all nations. President and
congress have worked together in har-
mony for eight months, putting into
action policies Endorsed at the polls.
The country will echo Mr.. Wilson's
wish that the. same. degree Of CO.
operation may continue through the
present session.
indianapolis News: 1t must be said
in conclusion that even the business
men Inc bankers seem to be pleased
with the presidents treatment of BUSH
ness questions. No wild crusade
against business is proposed. On the
contrary, though the president intends
to go as far IS the can with his pro-
gramme-which is, in the main, a good
one-he spoke with a wise conyersa-
tism. and in a certain sense from the
business point of view. For business

BOY SCOUTS AND "GANGs."

Juvenile Judge Porterfeld of Kansas
City. a brother of Vim. p. Porterfeld
of Fargo. is out with the statement
that the Boy Scouts movement is the
proper antidote to the "boy gang"
In view of the extensive circulation
OF mysteriously unfriendly comments
touching the Baden-Powell and Seton
Thompson organization, !. is good to
find Judge Porterfield stating the mer-
its of the case sensibly and clearly.
The Forum wonders, however, if the
judge has encountered the theories Of
a recent magazine writer who under
took to a~nalyze the value of the gang
spirit in boys. According to this
writer, every normal boy has a strong
tendency to be a part of a gang Of one
sort or another. All boyish games n
fancies indicate this. Few men will
be able to review their childhood
without recalling a time when they
were members of gangs that went
west to fight Indians" and who spent
their Saturday afternoons in pretend
ing that a county road was not q
county road at all, but a trail through
d desert harbOring enemies.
Perhaps it is true that the Boy
Scouts movement has the effect of per-
fecting the gang idea" and of trans
forming evir tendencies into whole
some tendencies. Perhaps the aver
age boy yields SO readily to the spirit
Of the Scouts movement simply be-
cause of its legitimate gang" fea-
lures; its organization, it's rivalries,
its concerted action. it's phases Of true
romance, Of adventure, of tempering
discipline and hardship.
