COMMUNICATION.

Mazda, N. D., Nov. 10th, 1914. |
Reading the announcement of the
public school entertainment at MAZDA
of a recent date, which was held in
the church, the school house being
too small for which $40 or SIS was |
to be paid for use of same. II
noticed the amount raised by the box
social, which exceeded something like
$50 or $53 was, like everything else
done at Mazda, omitted. Outside Of
this, $40 was raised for the teachers
present. The teacher having sixteen
pupils in her school was we'll worthy
of a present having shown great
interets in her school. 1t would have
shown more respect, both to the child
rem and their parents to have made
her a nice present out of the proceeds
of the social, instead of canvassing
around the settlement, and asking the
young men and any n who would give
| at all. 1t would also look decidedly
| better of a party whose name appears
very conspiciously in this column and
his colleges to have got up a concert
and social for the church and not take
advantage of the childrens' school
social. The children need encourage
ment and not after a lavish supply of
boxes had been sold, to auction and
sell them a paper bag containing 2
sandwiches and two pieces Of cake
for Csc, after they had given their
services. If the teacher had taken out
her expenses for tissue paper dresses,
etc., and something for her present
and the children and what was left to
spare to have taken our presidents
example and contributed a little to the
war fund, for the need and suffering
as many of our American schools are
doing. Any remark will be welcome.

WHAT COLD STORAGE HAS DONE

In the current issue OF Farm and
Flreside appears very interesting
editorial. entitled Users Of Cold
Storage" Following Is an extract
showing some Of the advantages de-
rived by the public from cold stor-
age.
I'VE object TO the behavior OF the
meat packers sometimes, and with
good reason but we should not for
get that the livestock OF the United
states is now slaughtered and sold
by such methods that the difference
between the price OF meat on hoof and
meat on the hook is less than IL
could otherwise be. The cold stor-
age OF meats il the thing which
makes this possible. Eggs are stored
in March April and May for the next
winters trade. II this could not be
done eggs would be worthless on the
farms when they are most plentiful.
and priceless In the cities when they
are scarcest Apples are sold In ey-
cry month in the year. " this were
not so. there would be market for
about onc.third Of the annual crop.
cold storage makes this possible

IMPROVING THE HIGHWAYS

We issued over seven million dol
dars OF bonds last year. and raised
almost an equal amount by taxation
for the Improvement Of our highways
The amount OF bonds issued was al
most double that OF the previous
year. which indicates that we are
making rapid progress In road i'm.
provement.
But there IL another side TO the
story. There was over four million
dollars Of proposed bond issues de.
feated. These elections. with a few
unlmporfant exceptions. were carried
by majority vote. but failed TO get
the necessary two-thirds. The amend
ment Of this law to permit the Is
suance of bonds on majority vote
Is an important opportunity present
