OTTER TAIL AND THE CONTEST

The fact that the canvassing COM
mittee in the Queen Contest at the re-
cent Benson Exposition threw out the
subscription vote Of the Fergus Falls
Journal has been commented upon ex-
tensively in the press, with so many
inuendoes and charges Of bad faith
directed towards the officers of the
West Central Development Associa-
ton that we are led to make the fol-
lowing comments in order that the
newspaper boys Of the district may
know the other side and if they feel
so disposed remove any false impress
sion which they may have unwitting-
ly created.
The contest was something unique
of it's kind. 1t would be manifestly
difficult if not absolutely impossible
before a practical try-out to adopt
rules to provide for every unforeseen
contingency that arose. Thus it was

ADVANTAGES AT SMALL COLLEGE

Leading Wisconsin Citizen Tells Stud
ents at HamIine His Views in
the Matter.
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. lift I were
to choose again college in which to
take academic work, I should go to
a small institution" said A. p. Mel
son, banker at Grantsburg, Wis.,, and
vice-president Of the board Of regents
of the state university of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Nelson said these words recently
at chapel at Hamline university, from
which institution he was graduated in
81.
The attitude toward the small coll
eye taken by Mr.. Nelson is that of
many authorities on higher education.
His utterances are of special interest
to high school students who cOntem-
plate entering some college after grad
uation.
Mr.. Nelson stated that one of the
reasons for preferring a smaller coll
eye was that the physical development
was much more easily acquired in a
smaller college than at large univer-
sity, irrespective Of the money and
attention paid to athletics in the larg-
er places of learning.
1.-THE influence of the faculty is an
other thing to be considered in choos-
ing college. The students at the
small college receive at first hand, the
contact and personal touch Of the fac
ulty members that after all is one of
the real investments in college life.
Personally, l would not take one-third
of my education so far as scholastic
training is concerned for the influence
that came to me from faculty men,
bers.
els it not true that in institutions of
three or four or five thousand stud
ents, the individual is lost in the mass?
Only here and there a shining exam
pie may come to be a leader. You
have here at Hamline the possibility
Of developing larger number of
leaders in life's great battle.
what the world today needs more
than anything else is an educated
manhood and womanhood who are not
only strong in mental grasp but who
have developed that grasp that makes
men real brothers and sisters. The
primary thought of education is to be-
come givers and not getters. What
we need is the idea that we are to
give. The world will remember the
giver long after the getter is forgot

North Dakota has appropriated $780,
900 for the purpose Of erecting ter
minal elevator in the hope that it will
help the grain growers of that state
get square deal in the marketing of
their products. The Equity Exchange
hopes to get the new elevator located
at St. Paul. The Equity farmers gath
ering at St. Paul last week was an en-
thusiastic affair and reminds one of
the Farmers Alliance which was so
strong about twenty years ago. The
movement is particularly strong in
Chippewa county, and the delegation
from that county had the Montevideo
Boy Scout Band of fifty pieces with
them to emphasize their enthusiasm
Prom the first we had clear and
settled policy with regard to military
establishments. We never had, and
while we retain our present principles
and ideals, we never shall have, a
large standing army.
IF asked, are you ready to defend
yourselves? we reply, most assured
ly to the utmost; and yet we shall
not turn America into a military
camp. We will not ask our young
men to spend the best years of their
lives making soldiers of themselves I"
The above words from President
Wilson's message find a response in
the hearts of all true Americans.

GOT AWAY WITH
4.5OO SHINGLES
EIGHTEEN BUNDLES WERE DE-
LVERED AND LATER Carried
AWAY BY unknown PERSONS.

Some persons in need Of shingles
worked a. new game on the Stearns
Lumber & Export Company during
the week by which they secured
eighteen bundles, or 4,500 shingles. A
wagon was used to cart them away,
but as yet no trace has been secured
of the thief whom, the police suspect,
is a. white man.
The lumber company received a
phone message late In the afternoon,
purporting to come from Mrs. George
Bell, asking that twenty bundles be
delivered at once to No. 112 North c
street. The order was complied with,
but the driver did not secure a re-
ceipt for the shingles.
The next morning eighteen Of the
bundles had disappeared and Mrs. Bell
had ordered no shingles. The people
living at No. 112 North c street know
nothing Of the shingles SO it was evil
dent that the party representing him
self as Mrs. Bell got away with the
shingles during the night.

NEGRO CAUGHT
WITH CHICKENS
JOHN WILLIAMS CAUGHT AS HE
WAS LEAVING YARD WITH A
SACK FILLED WITH POULTRY.

When Chief Sanders and Special Of
flcer Hall received a call last night
to hurry to the corner OF Cerva ntes
street and Eighteenth avenue they
made a quick trip in the city's automo-
bile, with the result that they arrived
on the scene just in time to catch
John Williams, colored, leaving the
yard with a sack filed with fine
chickens.
The two officers left the automobile
as they neared the house and were
walking by the side of the yard fence
when the negro leaped over almost into
their arms. With the chickens in his
possession he did not deny the theft
but said he had taken large number
Of other chickens from the place and
sold them to a man working In a sa-
loon.
The negro had been employed at
the house by Miss Murphy. the osc1-
pant, who never suspected him of be-
ing the thief.

In the area Of purely military ac-

there has been little change in the
relative situation Of the opposing ar

an occasion early in the battle when
the Belgian army exhausted and al
most without ammunition was on the
point of retiring before overwhelming
numbers, when much to their surprise
two German divisions opposed to them

GERMAN CRUISERS MAY
HAVE BOMRARDED ODESSA

Washington, Oct. 30.-Absence Of
confirmation Of reports that Turkey
had declared war on Russia occasioned
the belief in official circles here that
the cruisers Goeben and Breslau may
have bomharded Odessa and other
Russian cities on their own initia-
tive. One diplomat thought the Ger
man crew and officers of the two
ships might have undertaken the raid
under the German flag. There never
has been an exact definition Of the
status of the vessels. When they en-
tered the Dardanelles, it was claimed
that Turkey had bought them. The
German officers and crew remained
despite protests of the Triple Entente.
An official dispatch to the Russian
embassy here that Turkey had taken
warIike steps was believed to be the
same as that cabled to the Russian
embassy at Toxic from which the re-
port emanated that Turkey had de-
clared war on Russia The continued
presence of the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the allies in Constantinople
was pointed out here as indicating that
the Goeben and Breslau may have been
acting Independently Of the Turkish
foreign office. The next step seemed
to depend on whether Russia would
view the vessels as still German and
refrain from activity against Turkey
or would regard them as engaged in
acts Of war on behalf Of the Ottoman
government.
Earlier in the war 1t was generally
assumed that the entrance OF Turkey
on the side Of Germany and Austria
would force Italy to assist the allies.
The opposition of Greece to Turkey
and the sending OF Greek troops TO
Albania, where Italy feels special
interest, might alter the situation. in
the view of diplomatists here, causing
Italy, perhaps. to resent the approval
which the Triple Entente is said to
have given to Greek operations In
Epirus.

TURKEYS WAR STRENGTH.
The full war strength of Turkey
army is 800, 900 trained men, according

The regular army is composed of

The artillery lost many Of it's guns
during the recent Balkan war.
Turkeys naval strength consists Of
three battleships, four cruisers, three
torpedo gunboats, ten destroyers, ten

gunboats, a coast defence ship, and
some auxiliary craft. The battleships
are old and none has guns larger than

is suggested also that Servia soon
may be compelled to retire within her
own borders and assume a purely de-
fensive role in consequence OF the ma
tional exhaustion resulting from the
fighting of three campaigns in as
many years.
The battle arena stretching between
La Basse and Newport has been vir-

for a general freight rate increase vas
concluded today before The interstate
commerce commission. II Is expected
the case will be considered by the
commission next week for an early
decision.
Clifford Thorne, speaking In the In
terests Of numerous shippers inter
ests, summed up the opposition to
the advance. He declared nothing in
the way Of developments beyond the
European war had been brought out
to justify the renewed appeal.

argument to the power of the COM
mission to grant the relief sought On
the general showing made at the re-
hearing.
Mr.. Brownell also read a cablesTam
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin,
which provoked considerable comment
by Commissioners Clements and Mey-
er. The message compared Russian
and American freight rates showing
the latter to be lower and said that
tae ambassador had been informed by
the directors Of the Deutsche bank
that confidence Of investors IN Amer
lean securities was shaken by rising
wages and reduced freight rates
