tie public money was used for his
benefit on better farming. For l
think he loses enough in many ways
to make up the difference.
I have read many articles written
by our friend Murray which were
we'll prepared and points we'll taken.
But on this one we differ in some
ways. Now, I am in favor of better
farming and better methods Of dispos-
ing of our farmers products. Now, in
Mr.. Murray's article in the Ryder
News of Aug. 26, 1915, he made some
startling figures, and really he must
have been standing on his head
He says let figures show the result
He shows freight lac, commission 1c
on bushel of wheat to the market.
Now, do not call this inconsistent
cy. For it is only lack of knowledge.
For the freight-say from Minot to
the Twin Cities on wheat is only 9
6-1Oc, and the commission is only 1-2c.
So you see how easy it is for a school
teacher to be mistaken. When he is
out of his line of business, like better
farming and the shipping of our pro-
ducts. His figures would be in my ia
vor. For I say the freight, commits
sion and dockage is about lie on
wheat, and with this years estimate
of 11O,0OO,OOO bushels of wheat for
North Dakota would give US about
$12,000,00O in one year to build farm
ers' mills, which would build 48 mills
of $250,0O0 each and would grind 1000
barrels of flour per day and 800 days
in a year, would consume 80,OOO,OOO
bushels of wheat, and with the rest
of the mills already in North Dakota
would hardly leave wheat enough for
seed. These mills would employ g.
900 people at a good wage, all of
which we lose because we don't get
together as farmers should.
Now, Mr.. Murray, don't talk any
more, and let us do all we can for our
farmers and the people of our state
and try and build up the state. Don't
talk shipping wheat to terminal eleva-
tors in Minnesota; talk mills for
North Dakota farmers. Just think of
the above figures, what that means in
only one year, and how easy it would
be to sell flour from North Dakota
hard wheat and not send it to Mime
sofa to be mixed with poor stuff and
sent back here with freight added for
us to buy. Now you may laugh at my
offer of $100 for Farmers mills in
North Dakota, but l stand by
my offer, and I think it
is the right move, l see Minot grinds
all the wheat that comes to Minot,
and also shipped from near Kenmare
and Berthold branch, in all nearly
100000 bushels. In fact, it means
just this, it would be building up our
own state instead of Minnesota OF
some other state.
Now, speak some from experience
as l was a grain buyer for fifteen
years, doing my own business, and
if had in money what was taken for
dockage and freight paid on dockage
from me, l would not have to be in
North Dakota trying to raise grain:
I think it is for the interest of all
the people of our state to start a
movement of this kind, and join to-
gether and not draw swords like
they do in Europe, for that gets moth:
ing. These are my views and I would
not rehearse this subject again.
Respectfully yours
P. VANDENOEVER.

The Meanest Man in Minot.

The meanest man in Minot is the
cur who sneaked into the beautiful
yard at the C. P. Stewart home and
tore some plants out Of their beds. Mr..
Stewart has some unusually pretty
flowers. A mans footprints were
seen in the beds and the plants were
strewn about the lawn. A dose Of
buck shot in the vicinity Of the bosom
of the mans trousers would teach him
a lesson.

DEATH ACCIDENTAL.
So Decides Coroner's Jury in Case Of
Charles e. Meyer.

That Charles E. Meyer, who was
found dead in the Wilson Hotel Satur-
day afternoon met his death by an
overdose of morphine, taken by mis-
take was the verdict of the coroner's
jury at the inquest held at $3.50 this
morning. New developments in the
case were the finding Of $40 in bills
sewed up in the dead mans shirt, and
the hypodermic syringe concealed in
the trousers. The jury was composed
of a. c. Sharp, o. D. Taylor, and j. j.
Hall.
w. H. Throne. proprietor Of the hotel
where Meyer was found, testified that
he might have been mistaken when he
said that the man found dead in the
room was not the same man who
registered for that room. Throne said
the man who registered seemed to have
been dressed more neatly. but 1t was
possible that he was mistaken.
A post mortem examination revealed
that all the organs were in normal
condition with the exception of a slight
congestion around the lungs which
would seem to indicate the excessive
use Of some drug, according to Coroner
Lynn
Meyers body was turned over to
county authorities after the post
mortem examina ton. The body was
buried in the county farm cemetery
this afternoon.

HUBBARD IN OPERA TALKS.
Boston Musical Critic Appears Before
Two Clubs in This City.

Boston Musical Critic Appears Before
Two Clubs in This City.
Havrah Hubbard, of Boston, as
appeared Wednesday afternoon before
the afternoon Mr.. Hubbard. formerly
Tribune and the originator of the
opera talks" gave an address on
"Parisifal' before the Woman's Club.
In the evening Mr. Hubbard appeared
before the Twentieth Century Club in
an Interpretation Of "Hansel and
Gretel"
Ninety members of Twentieth Cen
tury Club were entertained at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Willard. 6O9
West Main street. Mr.. Hubbard's pro-
gram being the opening number of the
season.
Mr.. Hubbards method Of presenting
an opera is in the nature of dramatic
monolos, preceding which he gives a
thorough outline of the drama. Mr..
Hubbard has such an intimate knowl-
edge of his opera that he is able to pre-
sent it to his audience in a most pleas
ing and interesting way.
Before beginning the story of the
opera Mr. Hubbard gave an interest
ing talk on the opera to famliarize his
hearers with grand opera. The tend
ency of the American public is to go
to the opera to hear an individual star
sing, when one should really be ac-
quainted with the drama and story of
the opera. Few realize that the opera
is not musical form of art but a
drama with music fitted to its parts.
and to know an opera one must know
the drama. The music is merely to
enhance the drama. Mr. Hubbard also
deplores the fact that the American
public does not demand that the opera
be translated into English so that it
may be understood. Some Of the opera
stars claim that the English language
is not artistic and not understandable
when sung. Mr.. Hubbard lays great
stress on the fact that II English is
not understandable when sung it is
the fault Of the singer and not the
language, and he urges that the people
insist on having English-sung operas.
The charming fairy tale Of the opera,
"Hansel and Gretel,' was a pleasing

subject for his talk in the evening. and
was thoroughly enjoyed and appre-
ciated by the club members and
guests. Mr.. Hubbard. with Mr..
Weston's accomplishments. sang and
told the story of the opera in a most
delightful and realistic manner. In
the story of the. familiar German folk
songs are introduced by Humperdinck,
the composer. In conclusion Mr.. Hub
bard gave THE Secret Of Susanna"
which was also pleasing.
After the program an hour was spent
informally and refreshments were
served by Misses May Willard. Helen
Beatty. Miriam Andrews. Edna Balch,
Josephine Gabelman, Margaret Thomp-
son, May Dell AXE, and Caroline Wetz-
stein.
Mrs. E. B. Crane, Of Seattle, Wash:
Mrs. Julia Wilson. of Sedgwick, Maine:
Mrs. c. F. Gtiiiford, Of Platteviile. Wis:
Miss Pauline Weiss, of Chicago: and
Miss Kate Rogers. Of New Orleans,
were guests from away.
Mr.. Hubbards subject. before the
Woman's Club in the afternoon was
"Parsifal." and his Interpretation and
descriptions from selected scenes of
the opera were vivid and full Of action.
"ParSifal," is one of the best-known
operas because Of its spectacular
greatness and the material composing
it. 1t is. however, not so great dra-
matically and unsteady as other of
his masterpieces. but as spectacle it
is most wonderful. In his preliminary
sketch Of the work Mr.. Hubbard said
that Wagner spent thirty-two years in
developing and producing the opera.
The opera was first produced in this
country at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York. in 1896. The story
of the opera is that of the Holy Grail
which is very beautifully told and en-
HANGED by the music and setting of the
opera Mr.. Hubbard's Interpretation
and story of the opera were splendid.
and Mr.. Weston's accomplishments
added greatly to the value of the en-
tertainment.
The art and music department, of
which Miss Fannie Flower is chair
nah, had charge of the afternoon pro-
gram There was an attendance of
200 members and guests. and the pro-
gram was greatly enjoyed. Guests
from away We're Mrs. Ella Harris and
Mrs. Charles Hayes. of Chicago: Mrs.
P. L. Hayzlett. of Red Oak. and Mrs.
c. E. Alexander, Of Winterset.

they had not.
We quote from small manuscript
written by prisoner at Sing Sing
called Two Minutes in Sing Sing
in regard to even the present improved
condition in the cell block.
Notwithstanding the present meth
cd used to eliminate conditions re-
ferred to, prisoners must still remain
large part of the "a hours in these
cells and their health must and does
suffer in consequence"
1 can find nothing more touching or
human than the splendid bulletin is
sued through the Mutual Welfare
League of the Prison. written by the
Bulletin editor, Joseph Nathans.
In speaking of the old system, he
says: always We're we being pun
ished and never rewarded, the incen-
tive for decency was lacking, thus the
prison system of New York state de-
generated into a horrible realistic por-
trayal of seething. shrieking hell"
Two cardinal rules--iron clad and
unbreakable-were inevitably before
the prisoner: DO this Don't do that"
forced task is never a cheerful one
So Mr., Osborne reasoned that, given
self government, the boys will make
have. Self-imposed restrictions are al
ways harsher than those forced upon
Us. Mr.. Osborne's reasoning was logi-
cal, and as f-governing body, we
have barricaded ourselves behind rules
and regulations, which, if advocated
under the old system, would have in
cited riot. Yesterday, we were dodg
ing brass buttoned guards; today, We
unflinchingly face 1900 of our fellow
inmates Yesterday, when we commit
ted any infraction of the rules, we
harmed no one save ourselves: today,
if we break any of these rules, we hurt
the whole body polite, as we'll as our
selves. We have to face 1900 accusers,
and it is truly a bold man, who would
openly flaunt defiance in the face of
such an army of men.
Came tSen our next, and perhaps the
greatest obstacle, thnt we had to con-
front: The abnormal conditions that
existed. We did not live our own lives,
they were lived for us: our personal
identity was almost obliterated--we
were known by a number. Mr.. Os-
