School Kids Get Hot
Dinners for One Cent

Warm dinners for children of
a country school at the cost of
one cent each shows management
on the part Of their teacher, Mrs.
Ella Marshall. Of the Lever
school, near Bixby, Perkins coun-
ty. The teacher thought the
cold lunches not the best for the
children, many of whom come
from a distance, and started to
supply warm soup at each lunch
and branched out to complete
warm dinners. The parents of
the children furnish the supplies
at the regular market price, the
school board supplies the utensils
and the children are charged
cost price for the materials Of
the meals, the teacher doing the

Stormy Weather
Greets Institute
Not Many in Attendance at the
Farmers Meeting on Mon
day and Tueeday.

The dates fixed for the Farm
er's Institute this week drew the
worst weather we have had thus
far this season, and in conse-
quence thereof. many farmers.
who had planned to be in attend
ance were compelled to remain
at home. For this reason the
attendance this year was nothing
like it has been in former years.
However those who were able
to attend speak very highly Of
the lecturers and the manner in
which the subjects were handled
by the corps of workers headed
by w. S. Fraser and L. M. Foote.
We hope that more interest is
shown next year by the business
men of Lennon and that the
weather is not so rough, thus
permitting the farmers to attend
in great numbers.

State Guard To Be
Increased Many Times

That the state guard in North
Dakota may be increased four.
fold is possible as the result OF
expected recommendations that
the militia companys of the
nation be increased to make 500,
900 men available at three weeks
notice.
The general staff and war col.
lege have been at work for more
than two months working out
the details of system that prob
ably viii be recommended by the
secretary of war in his annual
report, and presumably with the
sanction of the president.
From what can be learned,
however, it is probable that any
steps looking to the better pro-
lection of the country do not
contemplate any increase in the
regular army, but will be more
directly devoted to the enlarge
ment of the militia forces of the
states.
The nearest basis for this re-
organization reached by the eX-
perts contemplates the creation
of a volunteer reservist force to
bring the 4S state militia forces
t0 500, 900 men, who can be made
ready for active military duty
within three weeks.
One of the details Of the new
plan contemplates the establish
ment of a permanent training
camp in each state during a
period of from four to six months
each year.
Under this plan the present
Minnesota state guard Of 3,462
would be increased to 13, 52l;
Iowa from 1921 to IL, 165; Mich
igan from 2,667 to 10, Ali;
Nebraska from l,516 to 5,9l6;
North Dakota from 739 to 2, 1856,

Pierre, Dec. 8. The Democrats
outnumbered the Republicans in
the state committee meeting
held today under the provisions
of the primary law to make en-
dorsements for appointments.
The Republicans with thirty
seven members Of their COM
mittee present, took one vote at
the morning session and adjourn
ed to the afternoon and the pro-
liability is against any endorse
ments by them when they meet
again.
The Democrats, with forty
one counties represented, found
one application on file for their
consideration, that being for a
land office appointment at Lem
mon. They adopted a resolution
that so long as there are several
other applications for the same
place. no endorsement be made.
Then they signed up their milage
vouchers and adjourned.

Elect Ladd President
Of North Dakota A. E.

| Fargo, N. D., Nov. %. The
long expected split in the affairs
Of the North Dakota Agricultural
College has come, according to a
statement given out by the Forum
yesterday afternoon and re-iter-
ated and elaborated by h e
Courier-News this morning. The
statement published in the For
um is as follows: q
The A. C.. board of trustees
has split wide open on the matter
Of selecting a head of the insti-
tuition.
Two weeks ago DR.. E. F. Ladd
n wv head of the chemistry de-
partment, was elected president
of the Agricultural college by
unanimous vote. At the same
time DR.. J. H. Worst was elected
president emeritus. At the meet
ing at which this was done every
member of the board was present
and every vote was cast for the
proposition.
The board even went so far as
to call in DR.. Ladd and congratu-
late HIM on his election, and DR..
Ladd accepted the Office.
The whole matter was kept
from the public, however, until
today:
Later four members of the
board, Alex Stern, Peter Elliott,
Eugene Weigel and Fred Jenson,
met and rescinded their action.
AS a result of this the other
three members of the board,
Clark W. Kelly, George H. Hol-
lister and Claud E. Nugent, sent
their designations to Governor
Hanna today.
These three men are preparing
a formal statement which they
will give to the public tomorrow.
The four members who voted
to rescind their action gave as
their reason the fact that the
terms of several members of tie

sastlc candidate to win by their
own efforts.
Below we print the standing
of the candidates when the con-
test went to secret ballot. From
now on the votes will be deposit
ed in the ballot box and only the
person depositing them will
know what tn cir particular
standing is.
AS we have repeated many
times before, it is now simply a
matter Of hustle, hustle every
minute, keep eternally at it and
win.

board will soon expire. New
members will be named by Gov
ernor Hanna the first of the year
and the four members say they
believe that the matter of select
ing a new head FOR the institution
or of re- -electing DR.. Worst should
be left to the new board.
Why they did not take this
into consideration in the first
place is not stated,

This claim is put forward in the
latest bulletin issued by the pro-

There is much agitation at
present in favor Of the proposed
measure and a systematic cam
paign is being waged to create
s en- t iment favorable to it's

of the movement is explained in

Brake beams may come down
with the same result.
Where a double track system
is in use it is especially danger
Gus to fast trains going in op-
poslte direction from the long
freight trains, because without
warning cars will pile up on
opposite track and derail the
other trains.
