WELSH HIGH SCHOOL
SHOWS PROGRESS.

Mr.. AyleSWorth has added two very
practical studies to the High School
curriculum, that Of mechanical draw.
ing and manual training.
The manual training class has built
much needed coal house and store
room with a solid concrete floor, the
building is IL feet by rs feet.
They are now hard at work erecting
play apparatus, consisting of see saws
and swings for the girls. also see saws
and swings for the small boys and an
out door gymnasium for the boys con.
siSting of swings, trapeze, travelling
and flying rings, horizontal bars etc.
Over seventy five dollars has been
spent for play apparatus.
A separate building and additional
tools are badly needed for the manual
training department and it is hoped
that these improvements will be added
IN the near future.
Drawing tables to accommodate
class of thirty lin mechanical drawing
have been constructed by the boys.
A zinc lined sand table is also being
made for the primary room.
A school victrola and records have
been purchased by the school at cost
of seventy five dollars, which was
raised by giving entertainments. This
machine is used in the music depart.
ment besides being played for the
children to march in the building.
A $3.50 pencil Sharpener has just
been installed in each room at cost of
five cents for each pupil, the remainder
being paid from the school fund. This

time saver to both pupils and teachers
besides doing away with much trouble

Editor of the Bismarck Tribune: {
Dear Sir: Your paper fayors the
war, loan and one of your arguments
is that the. people Of the United States
cannot sell grain, meat and cotton
without this proposed loan. But is
this true? Experts figured out that
the surplus of wheat which we have
for export, may be bought for S142,-
100000. Besides, we have no guaran-
tee that England and France will buy
all their foodstuff from us. Not very
long ago the papers announced that
England can get its wheat, supply
from Canada and India. Further
more, if the Allies are so deadly sure
of forcing the Dardanelles, then they
can import all the wheat from Rus
STA. What will the bushel of United
States wheat be worth then? Meat
and cotton they may get in a very
cheap way. Just seize all meat and
cotton ships, take them to the prize
court and keep the goods as contra
band. The United States packing
houses had some experience already.
The United States lent some money
to the cotton farmers. Could they
help the wheat farmers in a similar
manner, if this kind of help is really
necessary? Why must the people of
the United States first make a loan
to the Allies, to enable them buying
wheat. etc? Whose gain is it anyway?
One day the press says, the United
States must stop the war; the next
day it is claimed, we must help to
prolong the war. ,

STATE TRADE MARK

Commissioner E. f.. Ladd in the
September number of the food depart
ment's Special Bulletin makes the fol.
lowing timely suggestion:
why not lave a trade mark or
standard design to enable us to recos.
nize and protect high grade products
produced in North Dakota for those
farmers or manufacturers who pro
duce products Of quality in sanitary
factories and shops of North Dakota?
Let each nan be also licensed to COM
ply with the laws and penalized for
failure to do so.
BREAD of highest quality made in
sanitary bakeries; ice cream of the
purest and best grades made in SAM
tary factories from sound, normal
milk and lby healthy persons; North
Dakota potatoes Of MOL quality,
Observation-Disclosures nd free from
disease; butter 81 the highest qual;
ity; eggs strictly fresh and selected;
North Dakota hams, fbacons, and saus-
ages of superior grade should be IL.
Guided in these provisions for improv-
ing the food products.
who will give North Dakota a law
that will enable the Food Department
to aid manufacturers coming up to a
definite standard OF quality to produce
the articles under sanitary conditions
and hereby make North Dakota know
for her high grade farm and factory
produced products, as she is now
known for the purity o. her food pro-
ducts? Would such a condition not
be worth striving for anu In a few
years give our State an enviable repu-
tation?"
The idea is practicable and would
give North Dakota much excellent
publicity, any thing tending to stand
ardiZe food products and encourage
better sanitary conditions is a step in
the right direction.

What would be done with the wheat?

T~REsPASSING ACCIDENTS

Accidents to trespassers on rail.
ways are increasing so much faster
than accidents to other persons that
in the last six months for which the
statistics are available the number of
trespassers killed amounted to nearly
60 per cent Of the total number of per
sons killed 10y railways. For the pre-
ceding 10 years fatalities to trespass,
ers had constituted only SO per cent
of the total. .
These facts are brought out by the
Railway Age Gazette in an editorial
in it's current issue, analyzing the ac,
cident bulletin just issued by the In.
terstate Commerce Commission for
January, February and March of this
year, together with the bulletin for
tle preceding quarter. During the
same period only two passengers were
killed in collisions. IN other words
the chances of an accident of this
kind were so small that the average
passenger could travel continuously
at a speed of 60 miles per hour for 16,
no years before meeting death in {
collision.
The Gazett says:
"For the six months the two bulle
tins report a total of 1862 person!
killed in all kinds of accidents, and o
these 2,165, or nearly 60 per cent
were trespassers. During tle SAM
