COLLINS WIN Pay Dues.

Eddie Collins, of the Athletics, was
greatly surprised when he read that
he had been expelled from the Base
ball Players Fraternity for not pay
ing his dues. Collins explained yes
terday that his failure to send his $50
to the treasury of the fraternity was
purely an oversight. Eddie stated
that he had not received any notice
that he was in arrears. He intends
to send his dues, so as TO be restored
to good standing in the fraternity.
Frank Baker has also been expelled
for the same reason that action was
taken on Collins. The chances are
that Baker will also make good to the
treasurer of the fraternity.

Harry Harper, the young southpaw

the Washington Club of the Amer

ceived his contract for the coming
season yesterday, but returned it
not because of an offer from the
Federals, but because Griffith forgot
to insert the clause excluding Harper
from Sunday games. This young
player, before he signed his contract
last summer with the Senators,
promised his mother he would not
play on Sundays, and Griffith agreed
to it. The manager, no doubt, over
looked his promise. The contract is
expected back in a few days.

COWS AS
GOOD SECURITY
x.Esltge, addressing y e Dairy.
men, Says 8ahkers Should
Consider This

VIM. #. Siege or Medina, banker,
miller ana sdairyaman. delivered an
interesting address on credits at the
meeting of the North Dakota Dairy
mems association, held at Fargo. Mr..
Siege said, in part a5
when this subject was first as.
signed to me, | thought it would be
very easy to handle, for the reason
that the success Of every country,
where farming is carried on, is due
to dairy stock and other lines that
are in connection with it; but after
studying the subject over more care
fully, | find that it is not SO much as
to what had been done in older Sec
tions of the, country as it is what
really ought to be done in a. grand,
new state like our state Of North
Dakota, for the eason that it is quite
customary, especially in the west
two.thirds @of North Dakota, that
when n farmer asks for credit at the
bank Or from $Other parties having
money to loan, he finds that they us
nally want two or three to one for
security-in other words, lit is Gus.
tomary that if a man was to buy a
COW for $50 they would want this one
and two or three others which are
free; from incumbrance, as security
in payment for the COW bought, and
where q farmer is unable to do this,
I have known of instances where he
has been refused dmoney for cattle.
II believe that a good many bank
ers who refuse to extend credit on
live stock, that is, COWS or young
cattle, do not seem to- realize that
their security is worth more six
months or a year from the day they
took tho chattel mortgage than it
was the day the loan was made, and
in addition to this the farmer has an
income from the day he goes into
dairying and live stock; on the hth-
er hand. in making a loan on horses
and machinery , especially in the
spring, time, his security is. worth
less in the fall than in the spring,
and this is the time most of our col.
lections are made"
Old-timers especially will be inter-
ested in the word of greeting that
was received by Secretary Flint from
E. E.. Kaufman, first dadiry commits
sioner of North Dakota, who is now
engaged in business in Fresno, Cal
Mr.. aufmaia wired as follows: "R. F.
Flint, Sec. Dairy Association, Fargo,
N. D.: Still on the map and back in
the dadiry game al bmanager of the

was a hard hitter. but am still game
and expect to beat the hoodoo in the

BESSARAblANS
" GROWING WISE
GERMAN EDITOR SAYS THEY
WILL REVOLT FROM
IGNORANCE. ,

+. j. Kehrer, editor of, the German
section of the Ashley Tribune, who
was in Bismarck yesterday, on his
way home, from jamestown, where
he attended q meeting of the Ger
nan Alliance, has just returned from
a visit to his former home in Bes-
'sarabia, in Southern Russia, near
Odessa. 1t was IL years since he had
been there, and he said that he was
greatly interested in everything he
saw. Eut he said he would not 60
back there to live under the present
conditions if they would give him
200 acres of land and a fine house.
Mr.. Kehrer says the curse Of the
country, ruled by the czar, is ignor.
ance and vodka. The government
does not want the people to be edu-
Gated and fr0wns upon all attempts
to establish schools. Vodka, a strong
whiskey, is manufactured and con-
trolled by the government, and 1t is
a large source of revenue. Men and
women drink it freely and every
where, and it is debasing the nation.
1t is not infrequent to see men and
women, arm and arm on the street,
shouting and singing and both I'M
der the influence of vodka.
The government? They have moth.
ing which corresponds to the free.
dom of our institutions. The govern
ment is poor and "rotten from the
tnn tn tho. hnttnms"
Land for q hundred miles around
Odessa Is worth about $3.50 an acre.
That held in large tracts by the no.
bility is not worth so much, because
it is undeveloped, but that held by
the Germans, who fled to this part
of Russia in 1912, is kept in a high
state Of cultivation and is very pro-
ductive. Bessarabia is in exactly the
same latitude as North Dakota, but
the waters Of the Black Sea temper
the atmosphere and the climate is
much milder than here.
Mr.. kehrer spent two months in
B%essarabia and says that the light OF
the twentieth century is beginning
to be felt there through the returned
American citizens, like himself and
others, who tell what is being done
in more enlightened regions. He
says the, people are becoming wise"
and says he would not be surprised
if they had a revolution inside of the
next 10 years and throw off the bur
dens which for 100 years have kept
them down.

"We should make the teachery po-

New York, Feb. 27.-Because Jim

argued that the hcme atmosphere is
the only n in which certain truths
relative to the creative function can
most properly be taught. However,
it was d%eplorable that this sacred
duty in all too many homes goes un.
fulfilled. Why parents should be sc
Indifferent to these home confidenc-
es was indeed a mystery.
Mr.. F r. Packard declared it un-
thinkable that the press could posi-
bly, carry on direct instruction but
that it could materially aid in an in
direct way. by calling attention TO
the astounding need of sex instruction
in the home. He stated frankly that
the press could aid by throwing out
'quack ads" which produced such
baneful results. He also suggested
that perhaps a society like the n
in session might profitably maintain
\ bureau of information and furnish
the press Of the state proper mater
ial. thus wisely directing attention
TO the need Of the subject being
taught in the homes.
General discussion then followed
with Rev. W. c. Lyon. Valley City,
leading off, and was conducted by him,
as to participate a lively and Animal
"a discussion. Some one raised a.
question and a shcw of hands was
called for as to how many had re,
ceived sex instruction in the home.

up. This from an audience largely
made up from normal school stud
elts. L. proved another glaring evi-
denco of present dav stupidity on
the part of parenthood.
Pref. Rudolph Acher, of the Nor

address on Education for Parent

Wilson'S Policy UNCHANGED.

>. . ~sSJ
WashingtOn.-The two hours dis.
cussion of the Mexican situation in
all it's phases by President Wilson
and his cabinet today developed an
unanimity Of opinion that the time
had not yet arrived for any change
in the policy of the Washington gov
eminent.
Though still reserving Judgment in
the facts surrounding the execution
of William Benton, the British sub
ject, the president and his cabinet,
it was learned, are inclined to regard
as serious the hanging by Mexi-
can federals of Clemente Vergara,
the American citizen
Secretary Bryan after the cabinet
meeting, cabled Charge de Affairs
O'Shaughnessy to demand of the
Huerta government the punishment
of those responsible for Vergara's
death. An explanation will be sought
by the American government of why
any harm befell Vergdra when assur-
ances had been given to the ameri.
can consular representatives that he
was safe. 't'
The cabinet discussed practically
every move that has been suggested
for the protection of foreigners in
Mexico and restoration of peace, but
no conclusion was reached as far as
could be learned, except there will be
a naggressive pursuit of facts of the
deaths of both Benton and Vergara.
Bryan conferred with the British
ambassador, informing him that Villa
had consented to allow the body of
Benton to be seen or examined by
two representatives of the American
government, two representatives of
the British, two physicians, the wild
ow and other relatives.
Bryan said a special train had been
promised by Villa to take the party to
Chihuahua. where the body had been
located. The start will probably be
made tomorrow or Sunday.
