 Although as many as 100000, 900 menhaden have been caught and con- verted into fertilizer in one year the number becomes almost insignificant when compared with the number of these fish destroyed by their natural enemies, principally the dog fish and the blue fish. One authority estimates this number at three thousand mil lions!
 The Canadian government has al ready sought to combine war on the dogfish with an increase in fertilizer material by establishing three plants in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for the purpose of converting the dog fish into fsh-scraps.
 Near Pensacola, Fla. plant has recently been erected to utilize the waste due to preparing fish for food. With the establishment of other such plants it is thought that millions of mullet which cannot be disposed of for food might Ee made available for the fruit and truck growers.

days trip to the twin cities. Duluth,
Superior, Virginia and Hibbing. dur
ing which they gathered ideas for the

Superintendent Kelly stated that
the committee had looked W a
large number Of buildings in the
curse Of the trip, many of them of
the most modern type Of construc-
ton. and had gathered many points
which he believed would be of con.
siderable value.
Practically q" of the schools in the
towns of the iron range are of the
latest design and are we'll worth
studying. The same applies to the
schools of Duluth and Superior.
In none Of these cities. according
to superintendent Kelly. however, are
the schools as crowded as is the case
in Grand Forks. and the problem,
therefore, is not so difficult of solu-
ton.
The postponed meeting of the board
will probably be held mex Tuesday

Editor Of Willmar Tribune,
Willmar, MINI.
Dear Sir:
I have read with both curiosity and
disgust the letters which have appeared
in the Willmar papers lately dealing
with the matter Of County Superinten-
dent Of Schools.
Mr. Risner has been in the county less
than two years. Yet he is ready to die
tate to all, including old settlers and
taxpayers, and tells us that we have
only one man fit for the office Of Coun-
ty Superintendent, namely. Mr.. Freder-
ickson. Some Of us old settlers feel
that we are entitled to an opinion Of
our own, and we prefer to consider both
candidates before expressing our opin-
ion.
Neither Mr.. Risner nor Mr. G. J. Han
son have met Mr.. Nelson. Their arti-
cles in the papers show them to be so
closely attached to Mr.. Frederickson
that they forget to be fair to the other
candidate. I am acquainted with both
Of the candidates, and wish to say a
few words regarding the contest.
Mr.. Frederickson has held the Office
for eight years and now seeks it for
four more. The fact that tho people
have given him tho otace for eight years
does. not give him . quit claim deed to
tho once. Moreover, he said four years
ago that If the people elected him at
| that time he would not ask for the posi-
! ton again. Yet he is spending his time
in hurrying around the country trying
to scare the people into voting for him.
And the fact that he claims the credit
! for all that has been done during the
past six years by the people for their
| schools is enough to make sensible peo-
pie laugh.
Knowing Mr.. Nelson as do am con-
fident that he has the best interests of
our boys and girls at heart. He is we'll
fitted for the office Of County Superin-
tendent, both by education and DISPOSE
| ton. He is the kind of man who will
give the teachers kind criticism and sug-
gestions in the teachers presence and
at the time of his visit. He will am
sure, consider things from all angles,
before rendering decision.
He possesses splendid recommends
| tions from every school board that he
has served and from various school in
spectors and other state school officials.
He is able to write his own letters and
