LEGISLATIVE NOTES

Representative Sandbeck of Cass
county introduced bill to do away
with capital punishment.
Senator Bond of Minot has introduce
ed bill providing for an appropria-
ton of $99,135 for the Minot Normal
school.
Dickinson, of Ward, would deduct
the amount of mortgage on land from
the assessed valuation in bill he has
introduced.
Freitag's bill provides that county
officers must pay all fees collected by
them before they can draw their
monthly salary.
John Rott Jr. would repeal the law
allowing supreme judges $500 year
for travelling expenses, for the reason
that they are not now required to
travel.
Rep. Smith of Kidder introduced a
bill providing for the compulsory edu-
cation of the deaf and blind children
at the state Institutes if they cannot
be educated any other way.
Rep. Bratton of Rugby has intro
duced bill providing for the publ
cation of delinquent tax lists for three
successive issues instead of "three sue
cessive weeks" as now provided.
A new rule has been adopted that
will put stop to pigeon holing bills
When committees fail to report on
bills within seven days, they will be
acted on by the bodies as committees
as a whole. This will do away with
the rush at the last end of the session
The legislative printing cost the
state about $4,000 two years ago.
The fat appears to have been fried out
of the Knight Printing Co.'s contract,
for the legislature hopes to save fully
$4,000 in postage, cost of printing
and cost of mailing out extra copies
of the journals and bills. Farmers
clubs, women's clubs, commercial
clubs and other publications may re-
ceive copies of journals and bills upon
application. It appears that newspa-
pers are not included in the list.

Governor Hanna Is Very Busy.

Governor Hanna is one of the bus
lest men in the entire state today. He
is at the capitol building the first in
the morning and may be found at his
desk after every other official has
gone. The writer found the governor
wrestling with myriad of details,
yet he clears his desk each day, knows
what is going on in every department
and finds time to greet his friends
pleasantly. The other day he was so
occupied with work that he had his
dinner sent to his desk in lunch bas-
ket and he dined while at the same
time he carried on the business of
state.

Is due for premium payment week
after next, and we've either got to
have two new rear tires for the car
or quit going out, and for one can't
afford any new clothes"
Mrs. CHUNKY assumed an injured
air. Nov, Fred she demurred,
sweetly, you know just as we'll as l
do, that you simply can't 60 in that
old suit. They'd talk about 1t for the
next fifty years. You just must get a
new one!"
That's always the way" snapped
CHUNKY glowering, externally after me
to spend money. Do you think I'm
made of it? Not more than month
ago you were limiting for new dress,
too. Well, I'll give in this once. I'll
60 and get the suit, but we'll have to
scrimp to make up for it, I tell you"
ooh. I'm so glad!" chirped Mrs.
CHUNKY, running around the table to
kiss her husband. You're such an
old dear, even If you do get little
bearish sometimes"
CHUNKY grinned and looked foolish;
he was afraid Of his wife when she
acted thus. II hope I can get some
thing that will go nicely with your
gray silk" he said, returning to what
he meant to be the main point.
But, Fred, my dear" objected Mrs.
CHUNKY firmly, II simply can't wear
that gray silk cant do it at all
it's too old and too we'll known"
1T looks very WE'LL" explained
CHUNKY half hopelessly, "and, as ]
said before, not one of my people
have ever seen you with it on
"But cousin Susan" began Mrs.
CHUNKY tragically.
Cousin SUSAN" lie answered criply.
"What in the name of common sense
has she got to do with it,"
"Why, she was with me when J
picked it out, and she's the one your
cousin is going to marry"
CHUNKY was stricken dumb tor an
instant II might have known It," he
grumbled "Ill bet dollar and a
half you fixed up that wedding just
81 yOu HI6uI ldYO a 6oou OASuoO AoA
demanding that very dress you asked
for a month ago."
Fred CHUNKY, you know very well
I had nothing to do with those young
peoples getting engaged" retorted
Mrs. CHUNKY. "And, anyway, II your
cousin Will proves to be just one-half
as good a husband as some other
members of his family could men
ton, Susan ought to be thankful to
me all the days of her life"
Maybe you're right, after ALL
agreed CHUNKY, looking foolish again
'Go ahead and get your dress. But
for heavens sake be as light on the
price as you possibly can"
"Oh, 1t didn't cost much" cooed
Mrs. CHUNKY happily, leaning over to
kiss her victim on the bald spot, land
you're such a darling. l knew you
wouldn't care, 20 got Susan to go
with me last week and pick out the
dress for the occasion. "-Chicago

Unloading Provision Ships.

An endless chain unloader, do

meat carcasses, is being used in IN
loading provision ships in English
ports. Each crosspiece Of chain is
provided with six hooks. on which the
frozen carcasses are placed by the
men working in the hold. Several

the country were keeping themselves
poor by reason of the excessive cost Of
marketing their products. These prod
ucts could be hauled only at seasons
when everybody had to haul. This
resulted in temporarily overworked
railway service, congested markets,
and low prices.
The older and weather. states saw
the point first, and began giving aid
to counties and towns in building i'm
proved roads, so that produce could be
marketed at any time in the year. The
result was almost electrical in it's ef-
feet. Thousands of farms which, be-
cause Of their relative unprofitableness
under q bad road system, had been
practically abandoned, became pro-
ductive again. The general values of
farm property were enormously en-
HANGED. This was accomplished BY
the building of a few town and county
roads purely for local purposes.
Then the automobile became factor
In the road question, and the road
problem became widened and en-.
larged. With vehicles, which would
cover 100 or 200 miles q day, the con-
ditions In each county rapidly became
known to the reople in adjoining
counties, and a broader comprehen-
sion of the whole highway question
was inevitable in country where
Intelligence predominates.

PICTURES
FOR CHILDREN

The Woman's Home Companion is
carrying on a great campaign for bet
ter motion pictures. In the May issue
it recommends 1874 films. Along with
these recommendations appears a
special article entitled. "Better Films
for Children" in which a report is
made of an interesting experiment
conducted in Louisville, Kentucky, by
Mrs. Frederick Levy. Mrs. Frederick
Levy discovered that her children had
attended an undesirable motion picture
show. This aroused her interest in
getting better motion pictures for the
Louisville children, and she arranged
with moving picture managers for a
special performance for children, CIV
en- in a Louisville theatre once a week
every Saturday morning. The US
ual ushers were dispensed with and
young women attended to the comfort
of the children who came from all
kinds of homes and vary in age from
four to sixteen. Following is an ex-
tract from Mrs. Levy's own account of
how the children have received this
kind of an arrangement:
"Do they appreciate it? You just
ought to hear them! They applaud
the hero and hiss the william in true
melodramatic style. At a critical mo-
ment they jump up and shout advice
to the dcspairing heroine. They weep,
they laugh, they yell, according to
which chord of their emotions is
t%wanged. They are not seeing pic
lures. They are living life, a life full
of sweet adventures as a plumb pud-
ding.
eve have not worked out all the
problems, by any means. For in
stance, the theatre is centrally located
in the business district. This means
that many children must pay car fare,
which is a considerable item in some
families.
"Our plan holds possibilities for any
city to work out a systematic method
for children's programs. Our chief
expense is due to our long distance
from the exchanges which serve us,
the nearest being Cincinnati and In
d%ianapolis. If the interested women
in those cities where exchanges are
located could work up special pro-
grams, their judgment could be taken
by women in other places. A net
work of cooperative service could be
built up over a considerable territory
surrounding an exchange if a number
of intelligent people would devote
some of their time to this urgent
need"

Keep It In Mind.

A little time ago w called attention to the Chautauqua, which commences
July 3rd and closes July 18th. The committee has commenced unusually
early o n its plan to make the 1915 Assembly positively the best ever. Con-
tracts have been made for talent which assure a stronger program than here
tofore. The terrible world war which is scourging 81 many millions seems to
have brought us Americans to a fuller realization of our blessings. In a land
of peace and plenty it is our privilege to meet as fellow citizens, learn of the
latest wonders OF science and how to apply them, get a glimpse of the latest
and best works of dramatists, poets and statesmen-A succession of treats
for everybody who loves his home, his kindred, his community and his native
land. This is all possible because u people cooperate to bring it about.
Keep this sin mind and support it by every possible method, for when you quit,
others may and the Chautauqua be ruined. Most important of all, plan to
take out season tickets for everybody you a afford to pay for. Money thus
spent buys nor Of that which is worth while than any where else under the
