Parent Teacher Association Meeting

We must have help! Although the
money for the swimming pool is COM
ing splendidly, there are many things
to be done. We request Hood River
citizens to come to the high school
building Thursday evening at s o'clock
to hear all we have done and to learn
how much still needs to be accom-
plished. Enthusiasm is needed most.

CANADIANS OBJECT
TO BERRY PACK

The Canadian government has made
stringent rulings as to the packing OF
straw berries this season and will en-
force the following law governing the
packing Of the fruit.
"In any package in which the face
or shown surface gives false repre-
sentation of the contents of such pack
age; ard il shall be considered false
representation when more than Is per
cent Of such fruit is substantially
smaller in size than, or inferior in
grade to, or different in variety from,
the face or shown surface of such pack
ing"
In such cases the fruit is subject to
confiscation.
"We have received such instructions
from the chief Inspector Of the Cana
dian government" says II. F. David
son, who will handle the straw berries
of the Apple Growers Association.
Therefore it will be very important
for our growers 10 give particular at
tention to their facing this season.
They should see that the berries
throughout the box are practically uni
form in size. Ii will not do to face q
box with Axis and have the remainder
composed of 5x5s, for if this is done
the dealers will have to suffer, and the
fruit will probably be eoniscated. A
loss will result for our growers on their
fruit, as we'll as the heavy transporta-
tion charges to the country. The Cana.
dans have always taken a large share
Of our berries, and have paid US better
prices than we have received in the
United States. "
ID. Johnson, fruit commissioner Of
| OttWaa, has sent out the following let
ters to the different chief inspectors Of
the provinces:
Ii has come to our notice that large
quantities of imported strawberries art
being offered on our markets which ar,
very much over faced, constituting 1
violation of Section 32l (e).
think it would be well for you t
visit the retail and wholesale dealers
handling imported berries in your dis
trict and call their attention to the fac
that il is a violation of the law fol
them to sell imported fruit, as we'll al

Ask their cooperation in remedying thii
condition, suggesting that they brinl
the provisions of our act to the atten
tion of the shippers.
While | understand that in forme
years no exception has been taken t,
this over facing in imported berries, a
they did not come into competition will
our domestic berries, yet many of th'
imported berries which have seen thi
spring show fragrant violation of tn
law, which il is our duty to enforce
As we do not wish to antagonize tn
trade in any way wish you would, a
requested above, call on them and ex
plain our position in the matter. Pos
sibly this will be all that is necessary

remedied at the shipping end. How

With Its Ruins, and Scenery De-

East San Diego, Cal,
March "a, 1915

Editor Times,
Wahpeton, N. D.
Dear Sir:
We are still having July wealth
er, which seems strangely out of
place to one from North Dakota !;
but 1 am not yet prepared to ex-
change our climate for this in
California.
Yesterday we drove up into the
mountains about 63 miles to
Warmers Hot Springs; or rather
we went on Monday and returned
yesterday. This early in the sea-
son we found most of the rooms
taken by guests. We were assign
ed rooms in an adobe house built
by the Idians many years ago. 1t
seems that this used to be an In
dian village, and about twentY4
five of the old adobe huts are still
standing. We visited the ruins Of
the old chapel of the Spanish miss:
sionaries, the rude grave yard,
and the place where the Indians
ground their grain. These were
interesting from the fact that the
Indians were removed from here
many years ago.
This is beautiful country, and
sometimes our roads led up the
mountain side, showing below
some of the finest scenery one
would care to see. But North DaE
kota is not circumstance for
waste land. All they need is wat
er; and when irrigation comes in
to its own, there will be some
great farms out l.ere.
We have been at the Exposition
a part of a day. 1t is not so large,
Of course, as that at San Fran
cisco, but it is very beautiful. The
buildings are built on the old
mission, style, and the Landscape
gardening can hardly be improvE
ed upon.
Today we expect to visit the old
Chinese pirate ship lying in har-
Dor, the government aviation
field, and other points of interest.
On our return we expect to spend
some days in Los Angeles and
take in some of the sights in and
about the city.
BY this time the snow is pro-
badly gone in North Dakota, and
spring is beginning to show forth.
1t is nice to be here in March, but
the North Dakota summers are
hard to improve upon.
Yours sincerely,
ELMER DUDEN.

WHO HAS LIVED
IN COUNTY LONGER
Than Ex-sherln Moses N. Prop
per, the lldgerwood
Pioneer7
is he FIRST LIVING CITIZEN
That's the Question the Times Is
Just Now Trying to
Settle

There is little question that ac-
cording to history compiled by the
Red River Valley Old Settlers As
sociation, EX-Sheriff Moses P.
Proper of Lidgerwood has lived
longer in Richland county than
any other member of that organ
ization of old settlers, but is there
some person still living here who
came to the county before he did?
That's what the Times wants to
know before it passes on to con-
slider who is the next oldest citi-
zen in years of residence here.
The readers of the Times would
also like to see a letter or two
from Mr.. Proper regarding in
cidents of early life in the county.
We have it ON record that Mr..
Proper was born in York state
in 1912, and that he has resided
in this county since 1865. Will he,
or some friend for him tell us
something about the county as he
remembers it in those early days,
and so far as his knowledge goes,
who else is living flere now that
was here when he came, or soon
! afterwards?
Tell us, Mr.. Proper, all you
can about the early history of the
county that is not already on rec
ord, as we later arrivals want to
know. You owe us this much to-
ward the early history of the
county. Please start the ball a.
rolling and others will follow.

NORTHWEST IN BEST
OF CONDITION

The Northwest is i'm better con-
dition financially, commercially
and in an agricultural way than
ever before. This is the optimistic
report of J. M. Hannaford, presi-
dent Of the Northern Pacific rail
way, given out at Grand Forks af-
ter his return from a two week s
inspection trip of the road.
"The northwest will see lar
ger acreage planted this year, -
said Mr.. Hannaford. The high
prices of grain will tend to extend
the acreage under cultivation and
divert land from other usuage.
''The lumbermen of this section
tell me they are looking forward
to an increased business. Funda-
mentally there is nothing wrong
with our part of the country, and
every material cons Iteration gives
cause for optimism.
These words of Mr.. Hannaford
only repeat what is said by all au-
tilol lCiCS Ill IOuCll Will CIIc SlCuu-
ton. North Dakota is listed in all
of the financial reports as being
in prime condition, in fact she is
one of two or three in the entire
country which is given the high
est place. She leads in financial
condition of her people as whole
and in the prospect for a busy
growing season Of development
which is predicted for nineteen
hundred fifteen. This state is
growing rapidly and will doubt
less show over a million people
within the next two years. This
means that the 1920 census will
show gain of over 100 per cent
as against gain Of 8).8 per cent
1900 to 1910.
North Dakotans should realize
the fact that they are living in the
most prosperous state in the Un-
tied States. Invest in North Dako-
ta. Help to develop this great
state. There is no better. surer
spot on earth in which to make
legitimate profit.

raising description OF the animal
they were about to see that most
of the boys in the room instinc-
lively took their hats in their
hands and inclined a little toward
the doorway, ready to spring out
side if the animal by any chance
should break loose.
|. Thus were the nerves wrought
up to such a pitch that it would
take very little to stampede the
whole crowd. Just then an un-
earthly growl and the rattling of
chains in the side room made
most of the boys turn toward the
door and plant their feet more
firmly on the floor, ready to run
instantly, should the ferocious
beast appear in the doorway. But
just then its keeper appeared at
the door and told the boys not to
be uneasy as the beast had almost
gotten loose, but was now thor
oughly chained again and there
could not possibly come to them
any harm.
Thus reassured, the boys had
just loosened the tension of their
nerves, when another unearthly
yell pierced their ears, and in an
instant the Snowman reappeared
with badly torn and a very bloody
shirt, and yelled: '"The Jiasticutis
has broken loose-every feller for
himself" Such running and yell
ing as instantly followed this an
nouncement has never been wit
messed in Wahpeton before. With
hats in their hands, running,
crowding, pushing, tumbling and
screaming they came out of the
door and windows of the building
pell-mell, headforemost and every
other way, and in less than thirty
seconds everybody was out of
sight and is supposed to be run
ming yet.
The showmen then walked away
with their chain and beet juice,
and probably will show in Aber-
crombie or Fargo tonight.
