MAIL.oRDER PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The Wisconsin free library commits
sion will send its books to citizens of
the state by parcel post. This will
make it possible to carry out the prin-
ciples of the commission the members
of which believe that "the books be-
longing to the state are as much the
property of the farmers living on the
far north peninsula as of the frequen-
ter of state library"
A good thing but not the best pos
sible thing. The post office depart
ment itself is the agency which is the
best equipped to operate free mail
order Libraries. There is no good rea-
son, except the initial expense, why
the United States government through
the post-oftices, should not carry to
anyone, anywhere, any ordinary book
in the English language. 1t would not
be necessary for it to maintain reaa.
ing rooms. or tie force of librarians
and assistants required by the public
libraries of the cities and towns, but
only to keep books in stock at conven.
lent places from which the holders of
cards could obtain them by handing
their applications therefor to the post
man.
Such system is easily within the
ability of the United States govern
ment to establish, and would bring the
blessing of books to millions of hungry
minds. There is an organization in
Canada devoted to the work of secur-
ing this boon to the people of our Sis
ter nation.
If education is one of the first duties
of government, the postal circulating
library cannot be said to be outside
proper governmental activities.

SUFFRAGE PROSPECTS.

Persons interested in the woman
suffrage are specializing on the pos
sibility of action in North Dakota in
the near future. Many people who
voted on the question last Novem-
Der supposed that they were voting
on a constitutional amendment. This
was not the case. They were voting
on an act of the legislature which, I'M
der terms specially provided in the
constitution, had to be ratified by the
people at a general election before
becoming law. The constitution
enumerates the persons who may
vote, but authorize the legislature to
make provision for woman suffrage,
and to make certain other changes,
but the changes thus undertaken, I'M
der authority of this clause, must be
ratified by majority of all the votes
cast at the ensuing general election
The legislature did it's part, but the
voters, by a majority of some 10000
OF the votes cast on this proposition,
rejected the proposed change. The
! majority by which the proposition
failed to pass was, of course, consid-
erably larger, as several thousand
persons who voted failed to vote on
this question.
There was at the time, however, a
! constitutional amendment pending,
for the last legislature, in addition to
passing the bill above referred to,
passed in the customary manner a
| constitutional amendment providing
Tor woman suffrage. This is still to
be acted on. According to law, this
proposed amendment was referred by
the last legislature to the succeeding
one, hence the legislature at the ap-
preaching session will be called on to
act on the question. It may vote to
refer the question to the people for
their decision, in which case it will he
voted on in November, 1916, or it may
reject 1t, which will dispose of the
subject SO far as this legislature is
concerned. If the amendment passes
at this session, it will become law on
receiving a majority OF all the votes
cast at the general election on this
proposition, regardless of the total
number of votes cast.
! In case the legislature should re-
]ect the amendment, the advocates Of
the change will still have the oppor-
tunity to force the question to vote
IN 1916 under the newly adopted in
ltlatlve provision affecting constitu>
tional amendments. The nrecedure
required is to have filed with the sec,
rotary of state not less than six
months before the general election no.
utlons demanding the submission of
the question signed by not less than
20 per cent of the qualified voters re-
siding in not less than half the conn
ties OF the state. If this is done the
question must be submitted to a pop-
ular vote at the general election, But
contrary to the practice in the case
OF amendments proposed by the legs.
lature, the amendment initiated by pe-
tltfon must have majority, not of all
votes cast on the proposition, but of
all votes cast at the election, as
was the case with the vote last month
If it should receive the required pop.
ular vote it is then to be submitted to
the next legislature for ratification
and if ratified there it becomes law

THE OTHER SIDE.


made by one of the leading state pa
pers that there is some extravaganza
in the state schools and that the towns
in which the state schools are located
have assumed ownership" The writ
er would not attempt to pose as a
judge of what it ought to cost to main
tain a school and will therefore pass
that feature of the complaint without
comment, but to the charge that the
towns have attempted to control the
schools, we are inclined to believe
that in a measure that is true, in fact,
if there is town in the state that
has school attended by boys and
girls that is not interested to the ex-
tent of watching and safeguarding
their welfare the school ought at once
to be removed. Speaking for Valley
City there is not a citizen in the town
that does not feel a personal interest
in the school and the students from a
distance attending here and who does
not, in a large sense, feel responsible
for them and their welfare. And
now as to the exchange of benefits as
, between the state and the city. A
Normal school is a splendid institu.
tion for any city to have and yet it is
an institution that will not stand
alone and if made such success as
the Valley City school has become
must be backed by local time and fin
ance.
1t is valuable asset to a town
and at the same time an expense. To
illustrate. The Normal school in Val
ley City has created an interest in ed
ucation that has grown until it has en-.
! tirely outgrown the school today and
has created another institution that is
securing for the school, Valley City
and the state more publicity than the
combined advertising done by all the
educational institutions in the state
as well as the state publicity depart.
ment, all without one single cent of
expense to the school funds or the
state, all contributions coming from
Barnes and adjoining counties. The
citizens OF. Valley City take very
laudable pride in the fact that Valley
City is recognized as the educational
center of the west and to further that
! opinion are spending large sums of pri.
/ vate money, that is going to benefit
; not alone Valley City and the immedi.
ate vicinity, but is of equal value to
the entire state, as calling the atten.
ton OF the world to the fact
mat North Dakota, U. S. A., has edu-
catlonal advantages for the boys and
girls as good as are offered anywhere
IN the world and that the farmer bows
and girls of the state are given lit.
tie better chance than anywhere else
on earth. Valley City and the sur.
rounding country has given back a
dollar to the state in advertising for
every dollar in benefit and will un-
doubtedly continue to do so and while
we are justly proud of the great state
institution we resent anyone thinking
that We are failing to do our share in
making the school what it is or what
it is destined to be.

his head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as q silver

him from scratching them with his finger

those mittens OF which would not allow him
to scratch and then he would wake up and

new MANAGER OF
KNITTING MILLS

The Fargo Knitting Mills will have
a. new manager within a few days
when M. H. Aved Of Harvey assumes
his duties in that position.
Mr.. Aved has been a prominent
merchant in the central portion OF
the state for a number. of years and
has been manager Of the Chicago, De-
partment store at Harvey for fifteen
years and a half. He m to Fargo
well acquainted here in business Cir
cles and his advent will be welcomed
cordially by every business man OF
the metropolis. 49,.
The following is from The Harvey
Herald, announcing MI. Aved's de-
parture from his old home for Fargo:
M. H. Aved, for the past fifteen and
one-half' years identified with the
Chicago Department store in our city,
leaves the last of the week for Fargo,
where he will reside in the future.
The change in his residence is be-
cause of his acceptance of the post
of manager Of the Fargo Knitting
mills, which makes a specially Of la
dies and gentlemen's full fashion
sweater coats, and have also a sus-
pender factory in connection.
Mr.. Aved came to Harvey about
sixteen years ago, and has, in all that
period been with the Chicago De-
partment store, the last seven years
as manager. With the proprietor,
Julius Sgutt, he has become asso-
ciated in the SELF Mercantile Co.. at
SELF, the Farmers store at Martin,
and the Sgutt & Ayed Land Co.. his
interest in these three companies be-
ing still retained by him. Mr.. Aved
has also been the efficient secretary
of the Harvey Commercial club for
the past four years, much of the eff
hclency of the club being due to his
activity and application to his duties.
On retiring from this Office he was
unanimously elected to life member
ship without dues. He also retires
from the .secretaryship of the local
ta1r association, and during the per-
iod of his incumbency the association
has been placed out Of debt for the
first time since it's organization, due
to the efforts Of live boosters, one of
whom was himself.
In fraternal circles Mr.. Aved has
been active in the local Masonic or
der, at present holding the office of
W. M, which is his fourth year of
incumbency as such; and in business
circles he has always been to the
fore where enterprise and boosting
ability were needed to properly as
sist in placing our city on the map.
Having always been identified with
the progress n development Of the
city and community since becoming
a resident, it is with regret that
his large circle for friends, both BUSH
ness and social, witness his depart
ure, and while Fargo is a much larg-
er city and has large numbers Of able
boosters and business men, it will

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Wheat: Has scor-
ed a further advance Of 1-2c on con-
tinued bull fever and enthusiasm and
free covering by shorts. Export sales
were entirely absent and the foreign
market failed to follow our advance.
Commission houses continued on the
buying side of wheat until after prices
crossed SAC when they were noticeable
sellers. Believe when the trade con-
slider the situation in a sober second
Judgment attitude they will realize
that the advance has been entirely too
rapid.
Corn-Scored 12c advance on cover
ing by local shorts and commission
house buying. The strength In cash
markets southwest due to weather con-
ditions bad throughout the belt. This
restricted movement and gave con-
sumptive demand a chance to catch up
hence the firming in cash market.
Prices may work somewhat higher, but
on the upturn believe sales will be adj
visable.

supplied with selling orders at this
