AMERICAN SCHOOLBOOKS
'sMADE IN JAPAN"

American schoolbooks are being
printed in japan and sent to this
country at prices far below the cost
of production here. japanese COM
positors earn about Is cents day,
and pressmen and binders are paid
in the same proportion. This is about
one-twentieth the wages paid in sim
liar employments in the United States
Paper can be made in Japan for less
than one-half the American cost of
production. A world tourist, lately
returned from the Far East, found
that American schoolbooks, for the
use of American boys and girls, were
being reproduced in japan and ex-
ported to the United States at cents
apiece. The American wholesale
price for the same book is 33 1-3
cents. Schoolbooks are admitted free
of duty under our present Free-Trade
Tariff. Previous to October 3, 1918,
they were dutiable. We wonder
what American publishers, American
printers, pressmen, bookbinders and
paper makers think of schoolbooks
for American children made in ia

WASTE MATERIAL
IN GREAT DEMAND

New York, Dec. 15.-The war has
sent the prices of waste material
soaring to such height that the coun
try has almost been swept bare of
such products, according to reports
received by the National Association
of Waste Material Dealers at its quar-
terly session here. Louis Birkenstein,
president of the association, told the
members that the process of reclama-
ton here is akin to what apparently
is being done i'm Germany.
1.-THE demand for cotton for explo-
sives and for cotton batting and
linters has resulted in reclamation
work in cotton waste products, which
has made it possible to substitute
many of these for the standard pro-
ducts" said Mr.. Birkenstein. 1.-The
retaining of wool, jute and other
fibers and materials for uses not OBJ
tanning in the past is going on
steadily.
Certain grades of wooden rags
have been tripled in price since the
war began and other grades have ad-
vanced 8 to 500 per cent. higher than
1914. Colored wool rags are actual
ly bringing more than a similar
amount of raw wool, owing to the
dye in the rags and account of the
color famines."

DR.. Taylor, Of Grand Forks, member
of the state board of regents and Chas
Brewer, the newly elected secretary
were in Valley City Monday. Their
object was to visit the Normal school
and get in line on the financial and
business end of the institution. 1t is
impossible for the whole board to visit
all the institutions and this work will
be taken up by committees. Mr.. Brew
er informs us that no radical changes
are expected to take place in any Of
the state institutions until the educa-
ton expert has been selected. This
may not occur for several months and
meantime the work at the various
schools and colleges is expected to go
on the same as before.

Tuesday:
The attendance at one day of the
Barnes County Fair this year was
equal to the total attendance of four
days last year.
This indicates in a striking way
the unusual progress made by the
Barnes County Fair association. This
is it's tenth annual exhibition and the
most successful ever held. Indeed, in
quality and number of exhibits, in at.
fractions and attendance it will com
pare favorably with any fair held in
the state. Over $500 will be paid in
premiums and $3.50 in purses. In
order to increase interest in stock ex'
hibits the same premium is paid for
graded stock as for thoroughbreds
All of the buildings have been newly
painted, the grounds improved, and
the fair has strikingly prosperous
appearance.
; It's location is ideal. AS is we'll
known Valley City is situated in the

are located on the top of great hill

the grandstand overlooks the entire
valley. A beautiful winding road
leads UP to the fair grounds and mum
erous popular jitneys have solved
nicely the transportation problem.
In the women's building the exhibits
are more varied than before. The
showing of grain and grasses is very
fine. In this building the w. C. T. U

ladies who have come from a distance
So far the attendance at the fair has
been over $4,000, twice as many as
attended last year. Of course the idea
weather that has most fortunately
prevailed has contributed greatly to
the success of the exhibition.
The stock exhibit and practically
all of it is from Barnes county, would
do credit to an exhibit from a strict
ly dairy community. H. w. King, one
of the most successful and progress
sive farmers in Barnes county, stated
that he believed the raising of stock
has increased at least 40 per cent as
a result of the interest created by
means of the county fair. Mr.. King

The imperial government welcomed
with gratitude when the American
government, in the note of May Is it.
self, recalled that Germany had al
| ways permitted itself to be governed
by the principles of progress and hui
mainly in dealing with the law of mari
time war. Since the time when Fred
erick the Great negotiated with John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin and
Thomas Jefferson, the treaty of friend
ship and commerce of Sept 9, 1885, be-
tween Prussia and the republics of the
west, German and American states
men have, in fact, always stood to-
gether in the struggle for the freedom
of the seas and for the protection of
peaceable trade.
In the international proceedings
which since have been conducted for
the regulation of the laws of maritime
war, Germany and America have joint
ly advocated progressive principles,
especially the adjustment Of the right
of capture at sea and the protection
of the interests of neutrals.
Even at the beginning of the pres
ent war the German government i'm
mediately declared it's willingness, in
response to proposals of the American
government, to ratify the declaration
of London and thereby subject itself
in the use of it's naval forces to all
the restrictions provided therein in
favor of neutrals. Germany likewise
has been always tenacious of the prin-
ciple that war should be conducted
against the armed and organized fore
es of an enemy country, but that the
enemy civilian population must be
spared as far as possible from the
measures of war.
The imperial government cherishes
the infinite hope that some way will
be found, when peace is concluded, or
perhaps earlier, to regulate the law of
maritime war in a manner guarantee
ing the freedom Of the seas, and will
welcome It with gratitude and salts
faction if it can work hand in hand
with the American government on
that occasion.
If in the present war the principles
which should be the ideal of the future
have been traversed more and more,
the longer it's duration, the German
government has no guilt therein.
1t is known to the American gov
eminent how Germany's adversaries,
by completely paralyzing peaceable
traffic between Germany and neutral
countries, have aimed from the very
beginning and with increasing lack of
consideration at it's destruction, not
so much of the armed forces as the
life Of the German nation, repudiating
