Casualty Insurance Comes Up.

The matter of casualty insurance on the municipal building proved a problem for the public buildings com mission, and a divergence of views was unfolded with the result that the commission finally, after an hours consideration, tabled the matter until the corporation counsers office might make further investigation of the ex- tent of the liability of the city in the event of an accident in the building.
 A sample policy with the Travellers Insurance company. protecting the building to the extent of s1o,000 was laid before the meeting by the city treasurer. Major Charles H. Slocum, who called attention to a clause wherein the company ceased to be liable for an accident should the in- fured party seek redress through the customary channels of the claims committee and the Court of Common Council.

Discuss Non-vacclna.ed Children.

Discuss Non-Vaccinated Children.
 The children of Frederick c. Blake of New Haven, who were refused ad- mittance to the public schools of that city because the father would not allow them to be vaecirated, are back in school. Family antipathy to vac cination" is given in physician's certificate as the reason why the chii- dren have not been vaeeinated. There was considerable speculation in eda- eationaI and medical circles in Hart ford. as to whether such an excuse should be accepted
 Charles n. Hine. secretary of the state board Of education, which pros eeuted Mir. Blake and had him haled into court for not sending his chil- dren to school. said that the board was not consulted before the ehil- dsen were sent back
 "The state law makes no excep- ton" he aid. though we have been accustomed to accepting the eertiii- cate of a reputable physician in any town in individual cases to the effect that it would be to the detriment of the ehild's health to be yaccinated. I would not care to express an opin- ion in the present case. Everything depends on the doctor. l would ac- cept the word of any good doctor"
 pr. Charles P Botsford, superinten- dent of the Hartford board of health, said no such excuse as family anti pathy to vaccination" would exempt child in this city.
 "1n the schools of Hartford at pres ent less than l per cent. of the pupils are unvaccinated. In each case the pupil is in such physical condition that to vaceinate would endanger his or her life, perhaps. Should an cpl demic of smallpox break out, of course, even these would have to be vaccination. While l say that no such excuse as was given in New Haven would be received by the local health board, I am referring only to conditions in times of epidemic Whether the board of education would accept such an excuse in ordinary times I do not know. The health board would not interfere in any way until it had to do so."

A PROFITABLE RESOLUTION
EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE

The passing Of Christmas week and
the last days of another year, while
carrying with them the regrets of
all, have, like everything else, their
brighter side. The death of one year
means the birth of another, and with
that birth comes inspiration for new
resolutions and for new endeavors.
The New Year resolution has come
to be looked upon as too much of a
joke. But they are still made, never
theless. Few people there are who
are not this week contemplating
some change in their routine for. the
new year. A determination to- be
more thrifty, or economical,> is a
resolution with which countless thous-
ands will begin the new year. They
may not stick to it, but they will be
better off for every week they do
keep the resolution intact. The
Sheaf can be of great aid to you in
preserving such a determination. Get
the habit of reading its Ads. The
nickles and dimes they will save you
will mean much.

The year 1916, which like. all its
predecessors, will soon lie as corpse
upon the sands Of time, has been one
of the most remarkable and moment
Gus in the history Of the world. We
are surely living in stirring times.
The great war which has engulfed
more than half the world in misery
and blood, has ragged with undated
fury thruout the year. How much
longer it will last, is still beyond hui
man ken, but signs are not wanting
that peace is greatly desired by all
nations engaged in the conflict. Who
can count all the tears and heart
aches, the sufferings and the sacri-
fees of the past year! May the new
year 1916 see peace restored and a
general disarmament begun by all
nations. Let us be thankful that the
United States has kept out of the
carnage Notwithstanding efforts on
the part of some interests to stir up
trouble. s
In our country great warfare has
been conducted in a number Of states
against an enemy of greater power
than all the armed hosts Of Europe,
namely King Alcohol. In Minnesota
about half of the state has been made
dry by county option. The year 1915
will long be remembered as the year
when the border towns along Red
River were given a cleaning, and
when our own county Of Marshall
voted out the saloons at the election
held June IA.
But the past year has dealt very
kindly with the farmers Of the great
Northwest, who this year have raised
the biggest and best crop that they
ever produced. A large part of the
crop has already been sold at prices
that are very satisfactory. Surely
there is more prosperity no won the
farms in the Red River valley than
anywhere else in the United States.
Farmers will spend great deal of
money in equipping their farms with
new buildings, and better stock dur
ing the coming year. And the reflec I?
ton of the prosperity Of the farmers
is noticed in all the villages and
towns of this region. The real hub
and backbone Of the whole United
States, commercially, agriculturally,
industrially and even intellectually is
found right here in the great North
west, where nature has deposited her
most fertile soil.

The people of Warren have always
taken great deal of interest and
pride in the public schools and have
always pursued liberal policy in
dealing with them. It has been the
aim to make the public schools as
good and efficient as any in the state.
With first class State High and
North Star College also located here,
Warren has become an educational
center to which the youth not only
of the city, but Of the whole northern
part of the valley, do flock to obtain
a good, practical education. Warren
may we'll be glad that it has an OPP
portunity to help mould the charact-
ers and equip for intelligent and use
full citizenship, hundreds, yes thous-
ands, of young men and young wo-
men, who come here to acquire an
education. And nothing else will in
so large a measure contribute to the
growth of the city in population, in
f1uence and wealth, as the mainten-
ance of good schools. Taxes that are
paid in support of good schools, is
not money thrown away, but form a
permanent investment, that will make
profits in dollars and cents, not to
speak of, the higher things which can
not be measured in dollars and cents.
The Warren high school is very
much in need Of a new, up-to-date
building if it is to do it's work proper
ly as state high school and be entitl-
ed to the state aid given for maintain
ing departments of manual training,
domestic science, agriculture, and
normal training for rural teachers.
In communication from Supt. E. M.
Mitchell published this week, is stat
ed that the total state aid given the
Warren school in maintaining these
various departments and for associ-
ated district work, amounts to $4,000.
Most Of this aid, perhaps all of it,
may be lost, unless we can do the
work properly. And without a new
building it is absolutely impossible to
do the work required by the state.
The Warren high school has reached
the limit Of its growth, unless more
room is. provided. It is up to the
people Of Warren to say what is to be
the future Of the school. And the
Sheaf is not much in doubt as to.what
the answer will be. We must pro-
gross. On Tuesday next the special
meeting is held for voting S35 900
bonds bearing four per cent interest
for the erection Of new building. A
vote for the bonds is vote for big
ger and better Warren.

Although the work Of these depart

utmost Importance, yet but few dts
tricts would be willing to start and
keep them running without some
help outside Of their own Districts.

rules, receives aid as follows. Il:

A New Building Needed.
In order that school may receive
the aid designated for the variousade-
partments, it must meet certain re
quirements which are deemed neces-
sary if these departments do efficient
work.
The Warren school are not able to
meet these requirements without the
people see fit to provide the space
needed.
The state is ready to do its full
share but we must meet the reason

The state inspector has made plain
the needs of the school. The school
board are anxious to keep the schools

We must make beginning and put
through some trunk lines (of roads)
regardless of whose house may be
benefited. Then we can put in some
crossroads, and when ten years have
gone by, we can have a large part of
the United States riding over our
roads, and paying our farmers mon
ey, and our villages money, for sup
plies and entertainment, and thus be
advertised to the Country as we
should be-a grand State.
We are asleep at-the switch. We
haven't scratched the surface of de-
velopment. Our business men are
short-sighted; they are so afraid that
the saloon will have to go and that
business might be hurt. Hurt
nothing! But there is no leadership.
Men who could do these things are
not permitted to have a look-in. If
Minnesota could clean out the barn
acles and put ability in their place,
no one would recognize the State in
ten years.
There should be concrete roads
from Minneapolis to Winona, to
Sioux Falls, to Fargo, to Grand
Z Forks, to Duluth, and from Grand
Forks to Duluth, and down through
the center of the State. The rise in
farm values alone would more than
pay the whole bill; it would not cost
cent in net results From editorial
'Time and Leadership" in Minneapo-
lis Journal.
Yes, the above is exactly in line
with what we have been thinking for
some time. We have been wasting
our energies on things that do not
build up the state. We are spending
money on what brings no profit and
labor on what gives no bread. The
same criticism applies with equal
force to the nation. When the nations
al government is more intent on
building big battleships than on de-
veloping the natural resources Of the
country, what else can one expect :?
If as DR.. Green stated in his recent
lecture here, ~ per cent of the ma
tional income is expended on the
army and navy and only % per cent
for all other expenditures of the
government, including appropriations
for agriculture, public health, good
roads, extension of our foreign and
domestic commerce, and numerous
other objects that would develop the
country and promote the happiness
and prosperity Of all the people, then
it is high time for us as nation to
pause in our folly. We have seen no
stronger arraignment Of the present
democratic plan to place increased
war taxes. on the people, than is con-
tained in this editorial Of the Journal.
Good roads rather than battleships.
