FREIGHT RATES INCREASE
MEANS HEAVY BURDEN

The campaign which the railroads
are and have been making for in
creased rates, and the case which they
are prosecuting before the interstate
commerce commission means many
millions to them. They have selected
such commodities for increases as will
throw the burden directly on the farm.
ers. They claim they are hard pressed
financially and they want to shift their
burden to the shoulders of the farmers.
So heavy is this burden on grain alone
that it would amount to more than a
thousand dollars year to the average
farmers elevator company.
On behalf Of the farmers elevator
companies the National Council of
Farmers Cooperative associations,
composed of the state associations Of
farmers elevator companies in the
seven seven states of Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas, have joined the state COM
missions in opposing any increases in
grain rates. The council has employ
ed experts of national reputation to
analyze operating costs of handling
grain and to make comparisons of
costs in support of this opposition.
The evidence presented in behalf of
the farmers shows that the grain traf-
fic is a highly profitable traffic, yield
ing an average income, on the Rock
Island for instance, of 1882 per car
as against an operating cost of $35.49,
a profit of 124.34 per cent. Profits on
three other lines are shown to be
even larger. It was shown that the
pure grain traffic alone yields more
than three times the average gross
profit on other freight traffic. 1t was
shown that the roads west of Chicago
are making profit, as shown by their
own reports to the interstate COM
merce commission, of from per cent
to 16 per cent after paying all expen-
ses, including interest on bonds, while
the average farmer is making from 3
per cent to 4 per cent.
A good fight is being made against
these increases in freight rates, but it
is not yet finished. All have done their
best, but yet better fight ought to
have been made. In this case in which
it is proposed to take so many millions
directly out Of the pockets of the farm
ers and place it in the profits of the
railroads, it is sad thing to say, but
it is true, that only a small number of
farmers have been alive to their. in
terests and have defended their rights.
Among all of the many organizations
of farmers in this country only the
Corn Belt Meat Producers association
and this council have lifted their
hands in defense of the interests Of
the farmers by opposing these increas-
es. It is high time that the farmers
awaken to sense Of duty to their own
interests and get active in such vital
things as this very rate case.

N0RNALONIANS
ARE VERY GOOD

LAD q AIIAA6 AAoAO w CAOA Ok AA0
tour of the state the Normalonians
closed their season with an overwhelm-
ing success at the Normal auditorium
Monday evening. They filled the last
number on the lecture course program,
taking the place that was left vacant
by the fact that John Kendrick Bangs
was snowbound in South Dakota early
in the year. The chances are that
every person in the audience Monday
, night felt that he had proated by the
substitution.
That the enthusiastic reception Of
the club at dozen or more cities Of
North Dakota was warranted was fully
proved Monday evening. It is seldom
than one hears more beautiful blend
ing of so many voices, while the little
details that go to make artistic glee
club work seemed to be perfect. Per-
haps the best of the chorus work was
the rendition of "The Kerry Dancing" !"
but the Normalonian medley was an
other chorus which brought out the
fine points and the excellent blending
of the voices. This number appears
on the program as arranged by MRS.
Goodsell & Co." The Times-Record
does not know who arranged it, but the
arrangement itself closely approached
a work of art. Not only the words,
but the tempo and the harmony fitted
perfectly, with none of the abrupt
changes which characterize the aver
age medley. The close with the w.
C. N. Loyalty Song" was appropriate.
Miss Aas and Miss Coughlin were
the vocal soloists and both were very
good. Miss Aas is perhaps hampered
in her execution by her posture, but
she has good voice. Miss Coughlin
deserves all the praise she has won
this spring. Probably most of the au-
dience felt disappointed at not hear
ing Miss Emma Ellingson in solo work,
Judging from the timbre of her voice
in the quartet.
Miss Dorothy McFarland's whistling
solo was given a hearty reception, in
fact Miss Mcfarland, in this appear
ance, her work in the quartet and in
the ladies' orchestra, scored the hit of
the evening.
The duet, sang by Miss Ruth An
dreason and Miss Coughlin was ex-
ceptionally good.
OF the work of Director Goodsell and
Ben Goodsell on the violin and Mrs.
Goodsell at the piano, the only thing
to be said is that it was perfect With
his host of admirers in Valley City
the Times Record believes that Ben
has great future before him and will
some day rank with the masters of the
violin.
The one appearance Of the quartet
was the signal for prolonged applause
which was responded to by a sec
ond, after which determined attempt
was made to secure still another.
Valley City would welcome another
concert by the organization at an
early date. But if that is not possible
we can hear them at the Chautauqua
this summer.

It is reported in railroad circles
that the Northern Pacific railroad is

which is indeed high for the first year
of a sectional educational association.
The first program was held at $50

At 8 o'clock Thursday evening, Miss
Frances Foote, dean of women, con-
Quoted a storytelling hour, assisted
by the Normal conservatory of music.
Miss Foote gave several interesting
stories suitable for children, which
illustrated the methods used in the
work. Miss Fjelde rendered a de-
lightful piano solo and Prof. Meyer
sang in his usual vigorous manner,
"The Drum Major" After the program
an informal reception was held in the
Normal gymnasium.
Friday afternoon brought the con-
vention Of the Central Teachers asso-
citation to it's close after most sue
cessful meeting.
The program began at 9 o'clock Fri
day morning in the Normal auditor
tium. Miss Burns, of the training
school, gave an interesting talk on
Reading in the Lower Grades" Her
talk was well illustrated by class
demonstration of the children of one
of the lower grades. This was follow
ed by somewhat similar discussion
by Miss Amidon on Reading in the

are making to recover the rest of the
ground they lost last week, public in
terest turns to the Dardanelles, where
the French and British have been

How far these attacks have prog
ressed only those on the spot know.
The British have landed at three
points on Gallipoli peninsula and have
thrown line across the outer point
on the peninsula. The other British
troops are threatening the Bulair line
of forts, the French taking care Of
the Turks on the Asiatic side Of the
straits.
The Turks report all landing parties
have been repulsed but the British
reports which are very brief, state
that progress is made and ignore the
Turkish claims to victories. Along the
western front in France, there is. much
activity and there are reports that the
British have begun the offensive in the
