ARATToIR FOR SMALL CITY.

Small cities considering the cree
ton of a slaughter house may get
many pointers from the model which
has just made the journey through
the canal. The estimated cost of
such an abattoir is s22,500 if con-
structed of frame; $4,000 if made OF
cement, as is the model.
The individual farmer who slaugh'
tiers his own meat often does not con-
slider the loss which he incurs by not
being able to make the best use OF
the blood and other b%y-products, such
as bones and hides. Sometimes he
loses the entire value of these rela-
lively unimportant parts of his live
succK. However, the saving effected
IN the case of a hundred farmer
would not be so inconsiderable if all
we're able to have their live stock
slaughtered in a plant where every
by-product\ could be saved and used
to the best advantage. Eventually
the saving would be so great that the
initial cost of the building would
seem incidental. This is the lesson
it is hoped the model may be able to
teach the municipalities looking for
a solution of this problem.
Any municipality interested in this
particular work may apply to the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, Wash
ingtoa, D. C. They will then receive
the result of the work of specialists
along this line, as we'll as architect
ural drawings and specifications.
Bismarck's Commercial club might
we'll interest itself in such an enter
prise. A cooperative slaughter house
under municipal control is needed.

The Statesman

Old Silas Haskins vowed that he De
sired to save his state.
He used to set around the store al
day and crate.
He lowed as how our commonwealth
was goin' down hill fast.
He said some statesman ought to tel
the truth, but not n dast.
He howled about the legislator, morn
ing, noon and night.
He said the legislator eve did {
burned thing right.
Iie stuck up fer the common folks
and said they should be heard
The spirit of reform rang out in every
spoken word
He said he'd fix the railruds if he
only had a chance.
He'd make the rich folks holler ant
the corporations dance.
He said, if to the legislator he shoult
e'er be sent,
He'd lower taxes in this state abOu'
nineteen per cent.
He said the legislator set around a1t
wasted time.
The way it piled expense up wa:
1othin' but a crime.
The whole burned state was goin' tt
the dogs at double quick.
The brand of statesmen. that we hat
made him tarnation sick.
The folks got tired of his -yowl and
SO, along last fall, .
They engineered a scheme to shu'
him up for good and all.
They ran him for the legislator aat
he won the race,
And then they sat and waited TO-
them reforms to take place.
1t seemed like nothin' happened AMI
things went on just the same
AS what they did before 81 Haskin:
got into the game.
They sent a delegation down to flint
out what was wrong. /.
Why Haskins was delayin' them re
forms so long.
They found ST iHaskins sittin' will
his feet UP in the air,
A-takin' things burned easy and with
out a shade of care.
He wor a tie and collar and som'
patent leather boots,
And he was drinkin' his:hballs ant
was smOkin' cigarotts.
His whiskers they was trimmed ant
he was dressed up like a dude
He told the delegation t:rat their ar
guments we're crude. !,
He'd said he'd get the railroads ant
he'd said it with a vim.
But it looked to the con mittee like
the railruds had got him.
There r lots of hot reformers witt
will weep and wall and sob,
But it makes a pile of difference
when they really git the job.

TEACHERS
IN SURANCE
Law Providing for That Fund
Will Probably Be Repealed
, Soon.

A fight was made on the teachers
insurance and retirement fund in the
house yesterday afternoon, only there
was none there to stand up for the
fund and tell why it should be col
lected.
The question. of repeating the
present law which provides for this
fund came up n the meeting of the
committee of the whole house. Rep
resentative &C.. C. Converse of Will
liams and Mckenzie counties was pre-.
siding.
When H. B. No:s109. Blanchard,
came up for discussion, Mr.. Watt
moved that it be so amended as to
repeal the whole law known as the
teachers insurance and retirement
fund law. in ten years time" said
Mr.. Watt, this means $4,000 taken
out of our school funds, and l consid.
er it wrong to take out of u school
funds for this insurance fund
Mr.. Torson stated that he had pre-
pared the same sort of al amendment
to the bill as had been proposed by
Mr.. Watt. He said that SO far as he

favor of the repeal of this bill, and
also the school officers. He expressed
his doubts as to the constitutionality
of the present law. The people In
his section of the state, he said, are
very much opposed to the law as 1t
now stands.
Mr.. Divet stated that it was impossi-
bic to amend the bill in the proposed
manner as the idea of the amendment
was to repeal the present law, which
was not the idea Of the bill up for dis.
cussion. He suggested that a new bill
be introduced in order to observe the
law on this point.
l.. l.. Twichell moved that the com.
mittee report the bill for, indefinite
postponement and this motion carried.
Treadwell Twichell, in answer to
Mr.. Lists query as to what would
be done with the money already in
this fund should the law be repealed,
suggested that it be put into the
general fund.

ONLY A EiASCO.

No wonder the public often refuses
to take a legislature seriously, when
a member upon his own admission
introduces resolutions impugning the
integrity of state officials without
scarcely reading them.
The recent candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket left 5000
loads of accumulated debris in the
prison yard, but has distributed dou-
BILE that amount of political muck
throughout the state.
Although the voters repudiated his
false and slanderous statements, it
seems necessary that a committee OF
the house waste time in threshi1g
out newspaper reports and the drivel
of a disappointed, d%iscredited politi-
cal place hunter. Such is the merry
round of modern politics. Scandal
travels miles while truth is getting
on it's feet.
Let US get down to the more seri-
Gus business of the state without
further delay.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR AGE?

How old are you? When were you
born? See if you really know. See
of your children know how old they
are.
Do not laugh at these simple ques-
tons until you try the test. Assume
that you were born on March 16, and
that you are Is years old, in what
year were you born?
According to a recent issue of the
Public Health Reports, it is a COM
mon occurrence to find school chill
dren, even high school pupils in the
junior and senior years who cannot
tell how old they are, or who, if they
know their age, cannot tell accurate
ly in what year they were born.
You will need this information
when you apply for a marriage Ii
cense, or in registering for voting;
or in seeking a government position;
or in case you claim that you are
heir to a fortune that is going to
zone other person. You may have to
go under oath as to your age when

WEARING OUT CHILDREN.

WEARING OUT CHILDREN.
The calendar of the American HUI
name Education society says on its
January leaf:
The last Sunday in January is
Child Labor Sunday. 1t is necessary
to educate men and Women regarding
child labor, what it feally is, ald how
dearly it is costing the human a c
The movement for child protection,
the protest against child labor, even
the juvenile court, are all related to
the general humane education work.
All human and humane movements
advance together. Progress in n
line helps all progress"
Haven't we a child labor law in
our state?" is a common question
when child labor is under discussion.
No one should be contented and CON-
Portable because his or her state laws
forbid child labor, nor because his or
her own children are free and happy.
Many states have laws designed to
protect children, and these laws are
enforced to the degree demanded by
local public opinion. The votes Of
women are counted in eleven states
and they are counted for the pro-
lection and education of children.
But child labor is a national ques-
ton and a national disgrace. 1t in
wolves at least two million children
who are robbed of school and play
ground life and growth.
Child laborers of other states help
to make what all people eat and
wear. More than a million children
are at work today, eleven, twelve,
and even thirteen hours. Tonight,
while WI sleep, the night shifts of
children in factories, and even in
mines, will contribute something for
the worlds use tomorrow. Eight
hours work makes a long day for a
strong man. Noise, lint, bad air and
tension add hour by hour to the la.
borer's fatigue.
II we could see the world process
sion of child laborers, dismissed at
the end of their daily, or nightly, toll,
we should be appalled,. We should
be ashamed. We should be convicted
of gross cruelty. We should know

NOW Investigating

The joint committee appointed
from the appropriations committee of
the senate and house under the Lath.
rop resolution, to look into the finan-
ces Of the state and its! institutions,
yesterday met with. and informally
discussed matters with several state
officers, among them the tate auditor
and secretary of state.
The committee, it is said, Intends to
call all state officers and heads Of in

of clerk hire, including deputies, at

$500 for each working day of the
year, is also'be.ng looked into.

also that we are iljurilg the race
The weakest of the children die
Those who are only half killed grow
up to become the parents of the next
generation. Every spool of thread

coal, every shoestring and hat trim

every glass bead and glass bottle

every book and magazine we touch
are products in part of the labor o.

The child labor problem is closely
related to the problem OF unemploy
ed men and women. The cheap labor
of children has supplanted the dearel
labor of men and onen Sometimes
parents lose their jobs and the places
are given to their own children, al
half or quarter wages. 1t seems
queer that a nation calling itself civ
