Ralph Otis and Meyer Stein met
yesterday for their regular polite
bout at the hearing of the senate in
vestigating committee on schools.
Questions and answers we're interest
ing.
Otis is a member of the school
board which the senate body is sup
posed to be rigidly investigating. In
cidentaIIy, he is connected with the
Otis family, which, through the Otis
estate, holds a fat school lease on the
property at Madison and State
streets, most valuable in the city.
Stein is attorney for the senate
commission, which, according to dis
patches from Springfield, was created
in a queer manner. The legality of
it's operations will be questioned soon.
School leases came up in the
course of the rigid examination" this
morning. STEMS questions and Otis
answers carefully pointed out that
the school board should have given
in to the latest school lease grab
rather than tie up the rents to come
from State street properties during
litigation.
Otis, called as an expert on school
questions, freely outlined the policies
of the board and presented more of
his suggestions for improvements. "
when the board of education re-
fused to accept the appraisal of Ber-
tram Winston, Simon Strauss and
Jesse HoIdoIn, was it because this ap-
praisaI was too Iow?" Stein asked |
Otis.
"Oh, no" was the reply. 'Tt was
because the board did not agree with |
the manner in which the three ap-
praisers arrived at their conclusions"
At the outset of the school lease |
discussion, Stein suggested that the |
property acquired by the Chicago |

reason for this action in the case Of

The efforts of both seemed to be to
decry court action contemplated by
the school board to throw out the
last appraisal on the State st. scohOl
lands. This appraisal gives many

even lower rent than they have been
paying, in spite of a clause in the
leases which says that the valuation
shall be raised as the value of the
property increases. Rental is based
on per cent Of the value.
eff the appraisal is accepted the
school board would lose about $780,
900. Am l right?" asked Atty Stein.
Right" answered Otis. But the
matter might be tied up in court for
six or seven years and in the mean
time the school board will lose the
use of the rental"
'This would amount to about
$275, 900, would it not?" asked Stein.
Eyes, and more" declared Otis.
ct would come to $3OO,OOO."
Otis, when quizzed on the matter
of school sites intimated that one
man should have control of the selec-
ton Of sites. This would do away
with any graft which now exists, he
said.

= cYNTHIA's CONTRACT

BY Harold Carter
The hotel register had her name
Madame AIloni, but>the hotel stood
two miles from the village and the
moment she had passed the patch of
woods that separated its grounds
from Meadowdale she became Gym
thia Dale again. Insensibly she
seemed to shake off the cosmopolitan
airs that had attracted attention at
the hotel the moment she set foot
inside it. Her gait grew free, her step
assumed the elasticity of girls. And,
in fact, at 80 the famous opera singer
had resolved to become a girl again,
"just for one day." as she phrased it.
Nobody in the village would recog-
nize in her any one but the Cynthia
Dale who had gone to New York and
then to Munich to study music ten
years before
But year later her father had died
bankrupt; his wife had followed him
within three months, and Cynthia
had found herself upon the world,
helpless. ....
She had never permitted herself to
think of those dreadful days of pow
erty and temptation. Gradually she
had won out. For two years she had
oeen one of the most famous of Muz-
zini's opera singers: His companies
were already famous throughout Eu-
rope. Muzzini she had never met, but
he had persuaded her to come to
America at a fabulous salary. The
contract had been signed abroad and
she was to meet him in New York in
two days time.
Suddenly homesick, the girl had de-
cided to pay visit to her native
town. 1t had changed little. How
every recollection came back to hel
as she set foot within it's limits. Cy
Warner, the blacksmith, was still at
his forge. He looked up as the styl-
ishly dressed woman passed him, hes
itated, and then beamed on her as

MAY z WILL BE ARBOR DAY

Governor Hanna has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation, setting apart
Friday, May z, as Arbor and Bird day
for the state of North Dakota:
State of North Dakota, Executive
Department, Bismarck; Arbor and
Bird Day Proclamation.
THE Beauties and Resources Of
Nature are among the most essential
things in the growth and development
of a state and its citizenship. North
Dakota being a new and prairie state,
has not an over abundance of trees,
shrubs, plants and flowers. Natural
wealth and resources are most desir-
able assets in any community and he
who plants a tree renders a great pub
lie service.
1.-THE people of our state are a new
people-thrifty, industrious and prog
gressive-and being a new people,
have. perhaps of necessity paid but
little attention to this part of the de-
velopment Of our commonwealth; but,
being a progress loving people, we
should and must put forth our best
endeavors in the propagation, care
and growth Of Natures resources.
"A movement of this kind must ne
~cessarily include the subject Of bird
and animal life and its proportion and
the need Of this should be borne home
to the members Of the younger gener.
alton. In the growth and develop
INIT of u greatest asset-our child
ren-surroundings are everything:
beautiful things tend to beautiful
thoughts and we must always remem-
Der that thoughts are the real mould
ers of character.
"Now, Therefore, I, L. B. Hanna,
Governor Of the State of North Dako.
ia, realizing our needs along these
lines and In conformity with annual
custom. do hereby proclaim and SET
apart Friday, May Z, 1915, as Arbor
and Bird Day for the State of North
Dakota.
II earnestly recommend and re-.
quest that the people in their homes,
the teachers and pupils in OUT schools
and all others give this day to the in.
a~uguratton of a general movement 70,

and flowers, and that the good work
be continued until North Dakota shall

Steele County Fair.

Second annual Steele county Stock
and Industrial fair will be held at
Finley. N. D., Friday and Saturday, |
October LIST and 2nd, 1915.
The directors of the Steele County
Fair association met at the CONNER
cial club rooms at Finley, N. D., April
22nd, 1915 and decided to hold the
Second Annual Steele County Fair at
Finley, N. D., Friday and Saturday,

ers of this vicinity and the business
men of Finley for the way they have
taken hold Of the county fair and
helped 1t along with time and money
realizing it is a good thing for the
county at large, and it is the hope of
the directors that every land owner
and every business man of Steele
county will take a great deal of in
terest In our County Fair and help
make it the best Stock and Industrial
fair in the state. If every farmer and
business man in the county would
buy a Life membership in the asso-
citation this could easily be accom-
plished. $500 will buy one.
The fair this year will be on a
larger scale than last year and cash
premiums will be given to all win
ners.
The Live Stock Department will be
given special attention and cash
premiums will be given on both Reg
tstered and Graded stock.
The Woman's Department which
seemed to be a popular idea at the
Fair last fall will also receive special
attention this year and cash prizes
will be offered on hand sewing and
domestic science.
A similar department will also be
added for girls under sixteen. The
Fair association has also provided for
a school department whereby the ex-
hibits Of the school children will be
judged separately. This is to en-.
courage Industrial contests among
our boys and girls and to stimulate q
loyal interest in our County fair.
There will be prizes on sewing
cooking and butter making for the
girls, and corn and potatoes, etc., fol
the boys.
Cash prizes will be awarded to The
winners Of the above and a specia'
cash prize will be given to the schoo
having the best general exhibit.

SPRING WHEAT PRODUCTION, BY
VARIETIES.

The most profitable variety Of
spring wheat grown last year was dur
UNI wheat, according to an investiga-
ton made by the Bureau Of Crop Es-
Inmates of the Department Of Agri-
culture at Washington. In yield per
acre the Marquis led, but the higher
prices paid for durum made its value
per acre slightly higher than that of
Marquis wheat.
The total production Of durum
wheat in Minnesota, North Dakota,
and South Dakota (Which produced
IS per cent of all durum wheat in the
census year Of 1909 was about 49,
1880 bushels in 1914, as compared
with 2~1,529,O0O in 1913. Durum
wheat represented 11.6 per cent of all
spring wheat raised in these states in
1914 compared with 1875 per cent in
1918.
In former years an obstacle to the
growing of durum wheat was the low
price offered for it. For instance, in
the census production year 1909 dur
um yielded two bushels per acre more
than common varieties of spring
wheat, but it sold for II cents per

profitable.
This year. however. the price of
durum has been higher than that of
all other varieties, being about 1927
per bushel in the middle of January,
as compared with about $1.15 for
common varieties thence, on this ba-
sis, the value per acre was $1,000, as
compared with $11.79 for common
varieties.
The Records on file at Grand Forks
show that in 1914. As per cent of the
wheat raised In North Dakota, or &c.
$4,000 bushels. was Blue Stem; 81
per cent amounting to 1884, 900
bushels was Fife; Is per cen amount
ing to %1O,389,000 bushels, was Dur
UNI: IL per cent amounting to 9,425,-
900 bushels was Velvet Chat; S per
cent or 4,111.000 bushels was Mar
Quis, 4 per GEM amounting to $685.
900 bushels was Of miscellaneous
kinds. The total state production of
all kinds was 81,592.000 bushels. The
department shows that there were
also about 10000 bushels of winter
wheat produced in North Dakota.
