w. A. G. asks: Are canned fruits
and vegetables wholesome? Are they
as good as when fresh? Are fruits and
vegetables nourishing? Do they supply
energy?
Reply.
Yes, IL no chemical preservative or
coloring is added. Canned fruits are
not as good as when fresh. Fruits like
bananas are very nourishing; fruits
like melons are not nourishing. Beans.
peas, rice, oatmeal. cornmeal. potatoes,
peanuts, are more nourishing than
beef, dollar for dollar. The majority
OF the inhabitants of the world live on
a vegetarian diet, so vegetables do give
all the energy one requires. For valu-

What Stopped the Dance?
(Morrison Sentinel.)

The band dance given by the Libby
band Friday evening in the armory
was called off by director of the organ
cation George Leslie Hodge. The band
gave an excellent concert in the fore
part of the evening and a good crowd
was out to hear 1t. The band was
given all kinds of praises for their
work. When the concert had been con-
Guided the band struck up dancing airs
but no one responded. The band kept
it up for some time, and even hao
some OF the members of the band go
out and start dancing. Yet the crowd
did not stir, and after few minutes
of this kind OF work leader arose and
stated that dance was called off.

JAP PANESE DIET
SESSION ENDED

Toxic, March 234-'rhe Japanese
diet was prorogued by the emperor,
owing. to the inability of the house Of
peers and house Of representatives to
agree on a navy appropriation. The
lower house reduced the naval esti-
mates by considerable sum, and the
house Of peers afterward further di-
minished them, but the house of rep
resentatives refused to agreed, and a
deadlock followed. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the cabinet will resign.
The difference between the two
houses of the Japanese parliament
arose over the amount to be devoted
to naval construction. The house OF
representatives passed an appropria-
ton for this purpose amounting to
$50, 100000, but the peers insisted on
reducing this to $45,O0o.000. There was
an excited discussion among the rep
resentatives on the naval scandal, and
a vote Of censure Of the government
was introduced. This was followed
by a. resolution calling for impeach-
ment Of the cabinet
While the members were hotly de-
batting, the imperial edict suspending
the session for three days, was read
to the house. AS parliament adjourns
March % in the usual course, this is
equivalent to a prorogation. This sit
uation Is highly serious as the budget
has not yet been passed.

COLLEGE CLUB
VISIT M'VILLE

The North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege Glee club, assisted by tho Crack
Drill Squad and College "Y' Quar-
tette, thirty-two students strong,
rendered matinee here Friday after
noon that eclipsed any entertainment
given in Neville, and the students
were greeted by a splendid audience
sidering the population of this little
city.
The program was put on here at
the opera house between trains, the
club playing in the evening at Aneta.
The original dating was for Neville
in the evening, but due to another
show company getting in ahead for
the evening of the Goth, the students
were obliged to fix the evening date
at Aneta and arrange for a matintee
here, as they were bound to give the
McVille people a. chance to see what
the Agricultural college can do for it's
students, and they were rewarded for
their efforts by special audience. 1t
demonstrated as usual that Neville
does not do things by halves. Business
men, school students and many farm
ers from the country were present.
The ladies were out in full force to
attend the afternoon matinee. ....
The selections given by the ''Y"
Quartette were highly appreciated by
the audience and were exceedingly
well rendered. The Glee club songs
pleased and were generously applaud
ed. The feature numbers Of the selec-
tons rendered by the Glee Club were
those in which the Brass Quartette
assisted. The Crack Squad in it's drill
work made big hit, and were time
and time again encored with hearty
applauses. Every member took his
part wit hease and executed the ex-
cellent drill word with ability. The
whole performance was a fine adver-
tisement for the A.. C. college and
the students themselves. They made
many friends here during their short
stay. They should be greeted at every
place they play at with crowded
houses.
The young gentlemen are not out to
make money on this trip, but on a va
cation trip to show the people of the
state what can be accomplished at
our state college. 1t is a grand en-
deavor and the students should be

MICHIGAN !.
COis'|llT'LON
IS worse

Washington, March 90. - John
Mitchell. the labor leader, testified re-
garding conditions in the Michigan
copper mines before the house COM
mittee for an investigation OF the Cal
unet strike.
Comparing conditions in the Michi -
gan field and Butte, Mont. Mitchell
declared '1ife and labor conditions in
Butte are much superior to life and
labor conditions in the Michigan cop
per field. Mitchell said the Butte
miners were paid on the basis Of the
selling price Of the copper, with a
minimum wage of $3.50 per eight hour
day., They were not forced to trade at
company stores or live in company
houses.
Chairman Taylor pointed out the
contention of the Michigan operators,
that the Western Federation of Min
ers was founded on red socialism.
Mitchell said the socialistic party was
organized, and circulated a newspaper
In the copper country before any at
tempt was made to unionize the labor
ers. He said 1t would seem that the
Opposition Of the operators was not
against the political socialists, but
against organized employees, and in
opposition to paying a fair wage to
the wor1men, rather than to any po-
littcal party or propaganda"
Mitchell urged Legislation to pro-
hihit the importation of armed
guards and had a spirited contention
on the point with counsel for the op-
orators. Mitchell testified that the
miners Of the federation had nothing
now in common with the Industrial
workers Of the World.

new HAVEN TO .
~ Be DISSOLVED

Washington, March 23.-After several
weeks of negotiations. the department
Of Justice and the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford Railroad company
Saturday night announced that they
mad reached complete agreement for
a dissolution of the New Haven.
The indicated arrangements, stated
in general terms, follow:
. Need Legislative Order.
The Boston Railroad Holding COM
pany is Massachusetts corporation
holding majority Of the stock of the
Boston & Maine railroad and 90 per
cent of the former stock. in turn is
owned by the New Haven railroad
The charter Of the holding company
prohibits It from disposing of the Bos-
ton & Maine stock. The legislature Of
Massachusetts will be asked to remove
this prohibition, and the stock will be
transferred at once to five trustees and
they shall sell the Boston & Maine
stock, prior to Jan. I, 1917.
~ a. Five Trustees in Control.
''The stocks of the companies which
control the Connecticut &s Rhode Is
land trolleys will be placed in the
hands Of trustees, five for each state,
and shall be sold within five years
from July /, 1914.
"The majority stock of the Mer-
chants G. Miners Transportation COM
pany, now held by the New Haven
railroad, will be placed in the hands
of three trustees and shall be sold
within three years from July ], 1914.
Steamship Stock to Be Sold.
"The minority stock in the Eastern
Steamship corporation held by the
New Haven, railroad shall be sold
within three years from July 1, 1914.
Whether the New Haven railroad
shall be permitted to retain the sound
lines will be submitted to the inter
state commerce commission for deter
mination under the provisions Of the
Panama canal act
"The Berkshire trolleys. shall be sold
within five years from July 1, 1914"
- Settlement Wiser.
In the Judgment of the directors
the general business and financial con-
ditions in New England, particularly
those affecting the transportation lines
were such that it seemed wiser to
make a settlement, if possible, rather
than face a general dissolution suit
with all of its ramifications and un-
certainties," Chairman Elliott said.
New England needs peace and a
chance for constructive work."
MeReynold's Second Victory.
Saturday nights agreement makes the
second victory which Attorney General
McReynolds has won in his efforts to
have big business adjust itself to the
Sherman antitrust act without litiga-
tion. @Ea -
The announcement shows that with
in the last few hours previous the New
Haven was granted, certain, -concess-
ions, for which it made a strenuous
fight. IS
The department however, it was
pointed out, has arrived at definite
understanding for the dissolution of
an alleged monopoly, which has been
under fire and under investigation for
years, and which was once in the
courts as a yiolator of the Sherman
act, but which never before has been
brought to the point where such de-
mands were made upon it and ac-..
cepted.

The project has been under consid-
GRAFTON for some months but the mat
ter was not fully decided, upon until a
few days ago when three friends OF
the Anti Saloon cause staked the prof.
ect with $4,000 in cash. Another $780,
600 is already in sight and it Is felt
that there will be- no difficulty in rails
ing, the 100000. which is necessary to
properly launch the project. Ia
So certain is it that the necessary
funds will DE forthcoming that alrea-

Altogether, the league now controls

Gated in this city.
But the rapidly growing reform has
.comnelled the running of the entire
plant night and day on two and some
times three shifts. This pressure OF
business has continued for some six
months until the building of another
ag,lishment became an absolute me-
cessity. Certain wealthy friends OF
the cause came to the rescue with the
necessary funds and the installation OF
