Their potential might, although in
secret isolation from the war zone.
has been as effective, however, as II
once could they have been more USE
full than the subordinate warships In
the North sea. That was during the
raid on the Yorkshire coast, when the
Germans, to the amaZement OF WlnS-
ton Churchill, used several of their
own dreadnaughts cruisers for the
bombardment OF Scarborough, Hartle-
pool and Whitby Had the British
dreadnaughts been on guard instead
have had far simmer chances of ee-
cape.
The Germans knew, apparently,
when they ventured forth there would
be no encounter with the enemy's
first-line ships. They knew it not only
because the vessels were not on patrol
duty, but also because they were not
on the east coast of England at ALL
This latter fact is now given to the
the maximum precaution against a
submarine or torpedo boat or Zeppe-
lin raid on England's capital ships.
which guard its very life, the British
admiralty has had to leave the North
sea coast unguarded by dreadnaughts.
Apparently, the dreadnaughts are
not to be brought from their haven,
unless Germany seriously wishes to
challenge Britain's sea supremacy and
sends her own. feet out to invite bat
tile. Then the entire naval weight Of
England will emerge from the secret
west coast harbors and will move
round the British isles to find the en-
envy. This policy, seemingly, will per-
nit further successful German raids
on England's east coast by German
warships. Nevertheless, there Is a risk
attached to these raids which will
make them infrequent. Not only do
the possibilities of British torpedo
boat and submarine attacks exist, but
also Admiral Won Tirpitz cannot be
certain that after all two or three
British dradnaughts may not be NOV
ed to North sea har1oors for surprise
use. Surprise on their own part must
form the essential characteristics Of
the German raids and, in this case,
infrequency Of surprise.

"Ncedless" Expense,

When it comes to the question Of
spending money for education need
lessly," who is to establish the meas
ure by which the conclusion Is to be
reached? Is it to be tested by what
was done twenty years ago or by the
standards of today? Is it to be done
from the point Of view Of the expert
ence of older states and nations? Is
it to be done in a spirit of tolerance
and wide knowledge Of state needs?
Have not the people of North Dakota
answered these questions in their con-
stitution and in the laws passed for
the last thirty years? What they
want and what they are entitled to
have is efficiency in their government,
in their educational institutions and
in the public schools. But we are not
going to get 1t IL we emphasize econ
omy as the sole question at issue.
Not Dodging Question.
I have written this letter for the
purpose Of bringing out clearly the
point that the educational institutions,
and in particular the university, have
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-12-24

The institution now has PAT im-
mates and seven more have been ac-
cepted and will be received as soon as
certain preliminaries have been COM
piled with. This will place the popu-
lation Of the institution at 26l, or
three more than Its capacity. During
the past two years the growth OF the
Institution has been thirty per cent.
With a like percentage Of increase in
the next two years IS new inmates
will be desiring admission and there
is no room now for more.
The erection OF a new girls ward
building to correspond with the boys
ward building completed two years
ago is imperative. The present lsitcn-
Ell and dining room are crowded to
capacity In caring foe the inmates al
addition of a new ward building for
girls and the reception Of more in
mates a new dining room and kitchen
Will be necessary.
The plan Of the superintendent is
to remodel the present power house
into kitchen and dining room, and
to erect new power house. Added
laundry room will also be required.
The institution farm house is a dis
grace. Two different sessions of the
legislature have passed appropriations
for n new farm house and twice Gov
ernor Burke felt it necessary to veto
the appropriations.
The institution farm does not fur
nish sufficient land for its use, and It
Is necessary to rent land to grow suf-
hcient crops.
The present dairy barn is full to
It's capacity and the herd does not sup
ply nearly the amount of milk needed.
More COWS must be provided, and then
more room Is needed to house them.

WAR PRISONERS.

The capture OF large numbers of
prisoners by any one country is fac
tor tending TO prolong the war so long
as these captures are more or less
evenly balanced. Such prisoners are
of value not so much in handicapping
the enemy as in providing the country

their factories and fields while their

CASTOR OIL is
TASHELcSS NOW
"A Remarkable Step Forward in
Oil Refining

Pure, clear caster oil, without taste or
| smell is a recent discovery of the house
of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, iefiners of
vegetable oils.
The Kellogg mills take away the nau-
seating taste, but remove none of the
good properties of castor oil.
AS Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is
merely purified castor oil, it works
better than the evil-tasting, evil-smelliDg
dose of the past, and does not upset the
stomach. Children take it easily.
Kellogg's TasteIess Castor Oil has been
supplied to all druggists, not in bulk, but
in neat Csc and SOC bottles. l. is neces-
sary to ask for Kellogg's by name, to dis
tinguish it from disguised castor oils, fla
vored with peppermint and other strong
essences. The trademarked label bears
green castor leaf. with the signature,
Kellogg's.

CHAPTER Vii,

1t was all well enough for me to say
--as l had to to Tillie many time
that it was ridiculous to make a fuss
over person for what, after all, was
an accident of birth. Nevertheless, at
five o'clock, after every one had gone,
when | saw Miss Patty, muffled in
furs, tripping out through the snow,
with a call thin man beside her, walk
ing very straight and taking one step
to her four, felt as though somebody
had hit me at the end of my beast
bone.
They came in together, laughing
and talking, and, to be honest, if
paGc't CAUGHT the back Of a chair. I'd
have had one foot back Of the other
and been making courtesy in spite
of myself.
Were late, Minnie;" Miss Patty
said. "Oskar, this is one of my best
friends. and you are to be very nice to
her"
He Rad cna 81 these single glaSs
things in his eye ami he gave me
good stare through it. Seen close he
was handsomer than Mr.. Pierce, but
he looked older than his picture.
''Ask her if she won't be nice to me-"
he said in as good English as mine,
and held out his hand.
ANY of Miss Patty's friends" I
began, with a lump in my throat, and
gave his hand a good squeeze.
They went very soon after that. I
stood and watched them until they dis
appeared in the snow, and / felt lone
lier than ever, and sad, although GER
tainly he was better than l had expect
ed to find him. He was a man, and
not a little cub with body hardly big
enough to carry his forefathers' weak
nesses. But he had a cold eye and a
warm mouth, and that sort of man is
generally social success and a matri-
monial failure.
l had hardly closed the door after
them when it opened again and Mr..
Pierce came in. He shut the door and,
going over to one of the tables, put
package down on it.
Here's the stuff you wanted for the
spring, Minnie" he announced. Il
suppose l can't do anything more than
register a protest against it?"
You needn't bother doing that" I
answered, unless it makes you feel
better. Your authority ends at that
door. Inside the springhouse I'm in
control"

they are, that l once really believed
that. But l did. 1t was three full
