AUTOMATIC Phone
WORK ON MADISON'S NEW SNS-
TEN BEGINS TOMORROW
CONTRACT LET TO A.
j. GARNER.

Actual construction of the new au
tomato telephone system TO be in
stalled by the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company will be commenced
tomorrow.
George Phifer, manager for the
company, announced this morning
that the contract for the underground
work had been let to A. j. Garner,
who is building the new telephone
headquarters building on East Fifth
street 1t was explained that the Of
ficials Of the company had given up
its original intention of sending men
from the Aberdeen headquarters to
do the digging and lay the conduits
for the new line. The change in
plans will mean additional work for
twelve or fifteen local men during
most of the winter.
Work will be started on East Fifth
street, and IL will be checked only in
extremely stormy weather, it is be-
lieved. Practically all of the mater
ials, including conduts, manhole
covers. wire and poles are on the
ground.
W M Mclaughlin, foreman for
the company with headquarters in
Aberdeen, has arrived in the city in
connection with the company's new
plant Mr.. Mclaughlin. who has had
wide experience with telephone sys-
TENS. took occasion today to congrat-
ulate Madison on its acquisition of an
automatic service. He prophesied
that subscribers would find that it
was all that had been said for it, and
more.
Mr.. Mclaughlin will probably re-
main in the city good share OF the
winter.

lures, yet only one. The leader has
certainly splendid way of making
much of the material at hand and
does not hesitate to call for a solo
from boy or girl in the audience or
male quartet on the spur OF the mo-
ment and the remarkable thing is
that he always gets harmony.
The audience seems perfectly natu-
raj throughout. Each one who takes a
part, either In quoting text of scrip
ture or telling OF their appreciation
of Gods salvation, or of what the
church has meant to them, does SO
without the least evidence of stage
fright or excitement. The short SER
mon by the pastor has no aim nor
claim Of high flown rhetoric or dra-
matte paragraphs, but Is pure and
simple appeal for sinners to come to
Christ. Ii is put with the clearness
of one who knows and with the zeal
and ardor of heart that loves both
the sinner and the sinners God and
has most ardent desire for reconcil
iation. That there is a sympathy of
feeling between the churches is evil
denced by the fact that three other
pastors were present at the meetings
last evening. S*

is also obvious that quite a number
have not been particularly interested
in the city's greenhouse, ii is said. for
the reason they are unaware that
there is such an institution in Madi-
son. The florists establishment is
this city's newest industry, and it
will be formally opened next Satur-
day.
While not nearly all the flowers in
the hothouses are in bloom visitors
declare there is there presented a
color scheme that would prove the
delight of the expert banquet hall
decorator or the landscape gardener
Almost every known flower and plant
from carnations to palms and Dutch
bulbs are being grown.
The greenhouses, of which there
are two, and the boiler and "potting"
house have been built upon the most
modern lines, at cost OF several
thousands of dollars. The green
houses are entirely of glass and steel
construction. and are patterned after
the John c. Moninger. Chicago.
type One house is 10 feet wide by
100 feet long. and the other 2S feet
wide and 100 feet long. Both are
equipped with modern hot water
heating systems. The new office
building. which is 16 by 2S feet, one
story and basement. was built with a
view to the elaborate displaying of
plants and cut flowers on the ground
floor and terminating bulbs in the
darkened space below the stairs.
Mr.. Renner. who is assisted by G..
Hudspeth, florist who has had con
siderable experience on the Pacific
coast. said today that he would spe-
cialize in floral designs for weddings
and funerals and in decorations for
general social occasions. The pro-
prietor invites the general public to
attend the formal opening next Sat
urday.

REVIVAL MEETINGS
REMARKABLE INTEREST In SIC.
RIES In PROGRESS AT THE
BAPTIST CHURCH.

TO one not belonging TO the Bap-
tist church and looking on as one in
terested in human welfare the series
of meetings being now held at the
church by the pastor assume re-
markable aspect. Ii it is the purpose
of the meetings to turn men away
from sin and give them a new pur-
pose to serve God then the meetings
are evidently accomplishing that pur-
pose. A number OF young men came
to the front last evening as express
ing this determination. One of the
first things to be noticed in the meet
ings is the absence of stiffness and
formality 1t is more like a parlor
gathering with invited guests where
each one feels not only that it is his
privilege to have a part in the pro-
gram, but feels that he is expected to
help to interest others. The singing
led by Prof. Deal is one of the fea-

LITTLE BOY KILLED
IN ANTLER VICINITY

Antler, N. D., April ga distress
ing accident occurred at the G.. Ten
nesson home in Sherman township,
which resulted in the death of their
little-two-year old son, Clarence. A
tank of water had been hauled up to
the yard and left standing for a few
moments with the team hitched to it.
The little fellow, along with some of
the other children, was playing around
the tank when the team started and
the children say the tank passed over
his body, but it is hardly thought this
was the case, although he was terribly
injured internally and died from his
injuries. DR.. Perrin was called at the
time Of the accident and did every
thing possible to alleviate the little
fellows suffering, but did not hold out
any hopes for his recovery at any
time.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1915-04-29

thereon added and averaged, their
average being almost precisely 2 feet
1892 inches, or two thirty-seconds of
an inch less than the correct length;
although some of the estimates were
as much as an inch or more too long
or too short.
Each pupil was then asked to meas
ure the rod with the instrument he had
brought. This was done, and the aver
age of the measurements turned out to
be not quite as close as the average Of
the so-called "guesses," such average
having been about fee 2O-32 inches,
or one thirty-second of an inch farther
away from the true measurement than
the average of the "guesses."
The class was convinced by this
demonstration that the average OF
carefully made estimates, when made
in sufficient number, is likely to be
reasonably accurate and dependable,
and that the averages of the estimates
of 10000 crop reporters are worthy Of
credence.

CONTINUE SHIPMENTS
DESPITE INJUNCTION

Fargo, April 27.-Employes of the
Northern Express company, operating
along the Northern Pacific railway,
would be glad to accept assistance
from fortune tellers and seventh sons.
They want to know how to tell
whether package of liquor offered
for shipment into North Dakota is for
private consumption or for sale.
The injunction secured by the attor-
ney general in Judge Pollock's court
prohibits the acceptance of liquor
shipments into this state to persons
for the purpose of sales. The law
does not prohibit the shipment OF
liquor to anyone for private use. Lack
ing the power of divination, express
agents find themselves in a peculiar
situation.
Despite the injunction, the company
continues to accept small package
shipments. If brought before the
court for contempt it will plead in
ability to determine whether the
shipments were made to persons to
sell or for personal use. AS long as
the packages are reasonably small
they will no doubt be accepted. Ship
ments in large lots, obvious too
great for private consumption, might
be refused.
The combination of the provisions
of the national Webb-Kenyon law and
the North Dakota prohibition meas
ure makes such a strong prohibitive
case the attorney general feels con-
fident it will stand the test Of the
courts.
The hearing as to whether the in
junction shall be made permanent
will be held in Fargo on May g.

BURKE SEEKS PLACE
h. ...... ON FEDERAL BENCH

Fargo, N. D., April 27.-Disappoint-
ment amounting almost to stampede
exists among North Dakota democrats
as a sequel of Washington advices
that John Burke, three times COVER
nor Of this state and now United
States treasurer, is seeking federal
judgeship in Iowa, his native state.
The North Dakota democracy had
made up it's mind that Burke could be
elected United States senator next
year. The demand that he be a can
didate was practically unanimous and
there is CONSERVATION over the Wash
ington report.
| Because of the probability of his
many republican candidates and the
foregone conclusion that difference
and bitterness will follow the prim-
aries, it was generally conceded that
Burke stood a fighting show of win
ming.
His ambition to hold federal
judgeship has been known to close
personal friends for some time, but
SO certain were they he would enter
the senatorial contest first they can
scarcely credit the report that he is
now seeking the Iowa position. They
take the view that he should subordi.
nate his personal ambitions to the
good Of the party in this state.
Some of his friends admit that from
a personal standpoint his attitude is
right, for federal judgeship would
insure him life position, while II
Wilson should be defeated he would
lose the United States treasurershir
and the senatorial election would be
by no means certain.

GIRLS OF CLlONIAN SOCIETY
WON THE TUESDAY DEBATE

The first of the series of debates TO
be held between the various societies
this spring, took place in the auditor
ium Tuesday morning. Classes for
the last period were suspended and
the students met at 10:45 to hear the
debate.
The two contending teams were
made up entirely of girls, represent
ing the Home Economics and the
Clionian clubs respectively. The ques-
ton for discussion was: "Resolved:
that the United States should give the
Philippine Islands their immediate in
dependence"
The subject was we'll handled, all
of the girls being excellent speakers,
In debate proper and in rebuttal
Ten minutes was allowed each speaker
for the main argument and four min
utes for rebuttal. The judges were
Rev. Lyon, Ex-Governor Frank White
and Mrs. Featherstone. In the alb
sence of Mrs. Featherstone, Mrs
Frank White acted as the third judge.
A decision was rendered as to the
winning side, also as to the rank Of
the individual speakers. The Home
Economics club upheld the affirmative
of the question in a very creditable
manner, and the Clionions very ably
argued the negative. The judges
gave their decision in favor of the Gil
oman society but in individual ranking
Miss McQuigan, of the Home Econ
omics club won first. Miss Frohne, O
the Clionians, won second place an(
Miss Wilkinson, also of the Clionian'
took third.
The Atheneum and E. B. C. debater

will meet to determine the schoc

ACCURACY OF CROP ESTIMATES

The teacher of class of students in
a western agricultural school, year
or so ago, was explaining to the stu
dents the bases, scope, and value of
the estimates and forecasts of the Blu.
reau Of Crop Estimates of the National
Department of Agriculture. The stu.
dents were rather dubious as to the re-
liability of the bureaus figures, and
so expressed themselves, reasoning
that the individual crop reports, used
as bases for the bureaus figures, were
themselves necessarily inaccurate, it
being impossible for the average farm
er to give anything more than random
guesses as to any of the subjects to
which the bureaus figures relate.
The teacher, a more than ordinarily
wise pedagogue, told the pupils to de-
fer further consideration Of the matter
until the following day, and requested
that each class member attend the
class next day provided with an in
xtrument of some kind to be used fol
measuring length.
His request was complied with BY
every pupil. Some brought yardsticks
some tape-lines, other carpenters
foot rules, and few graduated desk
rulers. The teacher brought stee
rod, the exactly accurate measurement
of which was 2 feet inches.
The rod was passed from pupil tt
pupil, each one of whom was asked K
estimate its length and to place his
guess" on slip Of paper. These pa
pers were collected, and the figure!
