Lidgerwood is known to all travel
ers, and especially the people of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota, as
one of the very best towns in the en-
tire Northwest. The city is very
substantially built town, manv fine
business houses and store buildings,
as we'll as residences, always draw
the favorable comment of strangers
to the city: A substantial city hall
building, housing the fire department,
the city Jail, the city council, the city
library. In 1915 the city constructed
a system of sewers at cost of $25,-
600, which is much-needed improve
ment in the city. Artesian wells fur
nish an ample and good water supply.
The city has proved a big grain
market in all its history, and more
than million bushels of grain have
been marketed in the city in single
year. The Lidgerwood Mill Co. has
been making high grade flour since
1890, and uses nearly 100000 bushels
of grain a year. The city is also a
large market for live stock, the ship
ments of cattle and hogs going large
ly to the St. Paul market. The cream
cry shipments also amount to large
sum yearly, and add considerably to
the farmers income.
Fine schools and good churches
make the city very desirable as a res
idence town.
The first church organized in the
city was the St. John Nepomucene
Church in 1887, and it erected a small
church structure on the west side of
the town which it occupied for num-
Der of years, and which was destroyed
by fire in 1909. This congregation
was composed of several nationalities,
and after, when it came to rebuilding,
they agreed on division and the con-
gregation selected a new site on the
east side of the city, and erected
fine building, which is credit to the
community.

NO CHANGE IN PENSION LAW.
General ASsembly's Action Was to
Add $4,000 to Fund.

Columbia, March 11.-From let
ters to the State Pension Board from
the county pension boards and from
private individuals, 1T seems that
there is a widespread misundeStand-
ing in regard to the acts passed by
the last General Assembly in regard
to pensions, says w. II. Edwards,
member of the State Pension Board.
The law as to eligibility to pensions
was not changed in any particular,
says Mr.. Edwards. The only change
made by the last General Assembly
IN regard to pensions was to add
Soo'ooO to the pension fund, out of
which must come in round numbers
$1,000 for the maintenance of the
Confederate Infrmary. The fund
thls year for pensions is $2S2,5OO,
and the fund will be thus distributed
by the Comptroller General by the
direction Of the State Pension Board
The pensioners may expect the money
or on about April Is, 1915. There
was absolutely no change made in
the pension law by THE last General
Assembly.

GERMAN WAR VESSEL IS HERE.
Steams Into Newport News for Coal,
Provisions and Repairs.

Newport News, Va, March u
Scared with rust and the two run
neIs crusted with the salt from the
ocean waves through which she has
battled for seven months since leaV-
ing Using Tao, China, destroying
commerce. thc German converted
cruiser Prinz Eitcl Friedrich slipped
into Newport News to-day for coal,
provisions and repairs.
The vessel anchored directly in
chine Company and the little coast
guard cutter OnOndaga, which dog
ged the vessel from the time she
passed in the Capes, dropped anchor
directly astern, prepared to enforce
the neutrality Of the United States.
The principal reason for coming
into Newport News, according to
Capt. Thierickens, is to land $50
prisoners taken from vessels sunk
during the raids on commerce.
Included in these were 25 members
of the crew and Capt. Kiehne and
wife Of the American ship William
u. Frye which was sunk on January
eth in the South Atlantic for carry
ing alleged commercial contraband Of
war-wheat froIh Seattle to Queens
town.
The vessel is arl1ed with three s.
inch guns and ten 5-inch guns. The
huh, to deceive belligcrent warships,
was painted white on one side and
black on the other.
The PrinZ Eitel Friedrich arrived
off Cape Henry late last night, after
having successfully evaded several
warships patrOling the Atlantic sea-
board and at 3 o'clock this morning,
in charge OF Pilot A. b. Topping.
slipped anchor in quarantine station
in Old Point. On permission Of Dr.
Hal MCCaffrey, United States Quaran-
tine officer, the anchor was hoisted
and the big black terror slowly
steamed up the James river, followed
closely by the Onondaga.
Immediately after dropping anchor
the paymaster OF the Eitel Friedrich
came ashore, and for more than two
hours was in secret conference with
Collector of Customs Norman r.
Hamilton, explaining the needs OF the
ship and making preparations, 1t is
said, for landing the prisoners.
The paymaster nor none Of the
other officers Of the ship would make

{ PaSeland Journal

In the appropriation bill passed by
the Legislature we notice the follow
ing: University of South Carolina
$104, ISL; winthrop College, $156,-
249.32-making $2GO, O,4O6.32 that
the people must pay for the support
of two educational institutions of
learning. In another place we fine
$2S6, 500 for public schools-only
$2G,099.GS more for all the public
schools OF the State than for the two
colleges mentioned above.
Now, what about that: Is it right
for us to pay nearly as much to two
schools as to all the public schools
Of the State? Think what a small
per cent of the young people ever see
inside the walls Of a college.
These colleges are worthy inStitu-
tons and the State does we'll to aid
them, but the amounts appropriated
for them are out OF all proportion to
the amount given to the great masses
Of the people. The public schools are
most important of all, for there the
real training is given to the people.
So long as the money is prOportioned
as at present, we can't hope to move
away from the bottom Of the list Of
States in education. If we are TO
have an educated and intelligent citi-
zenship, we must have more and bet
ter public schools. If the State can
pay to Winthrop and the University
something more than 100000 a
year it can pay 100000 for the edu-
cation OF the boys and girls Of the
people in the public schools.

this tube is inllamed you have rum

and when it is entirely closed, deaf
