DISCOURTESY HAS COST THE
RAILROADS MILLIONS

In the May American Magazine is
an article by Fred c. Kelly which
shows how the railroads lost millions
through discourtesy.
t'The famous public be damned"
policy governed railroads for a great
many years and q large ratio, if not
a majority, of these railroad employs
who dealt directly with the public were
a crusty lot. They were never told,
or given the slightest incentive to be
otherwise.
The consequence was that discour-
ttesy has cost the railroads in this
country millions of dollars. A friend
of mine analyses it in this way. A
conductor, brakeman, gateman or tick
ct agent, is the only point of contact
between the stockholders Of a railroad
and the public. When a farmers wife
was di~scourteously treated by a con-
|ductor, brakeman, gateman Of ticket
agent, she went home and taught her
children to fear God and hate a rail-
road. Her boys grew up and became
Legislators, land appraisers, county
commissioners, jurors, and so on. The
railroads know the rest. Public ser
vice corporations by means of dis
courtesy have done more to promote
socialism than all the street corner ag-
itators.

THIS IS
THE TRUTH

Mr.. M. L. Sprung, being interviewed
by the reporter for the World this
morning, informs that the article in
last evenings Journal relative to the
furnishing Of the new hotel for MI. B.
W. Heath is all a mistake. Mr.. Sprung
wishes to state that he has inter-
viewed MI. Heath and that he was in
formed that no furniture. or furnish
irgs has been purchased from any one,
and that he has made no contract, nor
is he ready to purchase furniture md
fixtures yet. It seems queer that a
reliable newspaper should publish such
stories without first learning the
truth of them. When it comes to fur
nishing the larger contract for furni-
ture and furnishings we might mem
ton the beautiful new Masonic temple,
which is a credit to the ones who had
the work in charge as we'll as to city
and county, is one of the most elegant
|ly furnished buildings in the whole
northwest, and the entire furnishings
were purchased through our local deal
Ter, M. L. Sprung. A city the size of
Devils Lake that has a dealer who can
compete and furnish such an estab-
lishment as this elegant structure de-
serves more than passing mention.
From the inception Of this temple the
work has gone forth with much rapid
ity and accuracy, and from the archi-
tect, J. A. Shannon, the contractors,
Fjelseth & johnson, the building COM
mittee, down to the finishing touches,
each and every one deserve much cred
it. Devils Lake should be proud to
have such an architect in our city and
q firm Of contractors who could erect
such a building without a hitch.

LEAST EXPENSE
RECORDS KEPT SHOW DODGE
BROTHERS MACHINES DO MILE
AT TWO CENTS FLAT. 49,

The report of the department Of
public works on the individual main
tenance cost of 81 automobiles oper.
ated by the department shows the
Dodge Brothers motor car operated
by Mr.. John Dunn was the most econ
omically driven car in the department.
The statistics include every expense in
CURED by the cars from July l, 1915,
to December 1, 1915, gasoline, oil, re-
pair cost, tire expense, etc., and show
that MI. Dunn's car was operated at
the low cost of exactly two cents per
mile. >Elx Ne -,
The five Dodge Brothers lars used
in the department also are given sew
eral records which place them at the
top of the low maintenance records.
Not n of the 37used in the depart
ment was run for six months at q low
er cost per mile than any one of the
five Dodge Brothers cars. They also
showed the highest mileage, the low
est expense on tires and the greatest
mileage per gallon of gasoline of any
touring car in the department.
Three of the Dodge cars were op-
Grated for the six months without any
expense On tires. On the other two
n of this make the only tire ex-
pense was for the replacement Of
spare tires which were stolen from thu
machine.
The report shows many interesting
comparisons of the maintenance cost
Of autos which range in cost from
two cents a mile for the Dodge Broth
ers car to 81 cents a mile for one of
the heavy duty trucks.
Such figures are interesting to mo
ltor car owners and to prospective buy
(ers Of motor cars, said ,Thorlas4 J.
Dolye, local distributor for Dodge
Brothers cars.
In these days Of the high cost Of
gasoline every one is looking fof a
car that can be operated economically
but it is seldom you can'hnd any own
er who a tell you the exact cost per
mile for the operation Of his car. Such
Dodge Brothers owners who have re-
corded the expense for their cars have
found them exceedingly low and that
they were getting unusually high
mileage on a gallon Of gasoline.

MODEL DEMONSTRATION FARM
PLAN OF EDUCATION.

PLAN OF EDUCATION.
By S. Toledo Sherry, Day School In
spector for the Omaha, Santee, Win
nebago and Yankton Indian Reserva-
The. model demonstration farm plan
of education is believed by it's friends
to offer a solution for many Of the de-
.fiencies of the present systems. Lead
ing educators have for q quarter Of a
century believed that the present
methods are not producing the best re-
suits.
A brief outline of the plan is ass
lows: A sufficient area Of good land
adjoining the school to give each pupil
a plot Of ground 80 feet square is pro-
vided. This is plowed, and narrowed,
and marked off into farms one-half
chain square. The selections are made
by drawings similar to to those Of the
government when reservations are
open to settlement. Each pupil di
vides his or her farm into nine equal
divisions. The middle one on the
south side is in the yard. The central
division is the barn yard. Four Of the
fields are sown to alfalfa, oats, wheat,
and Sudan grass. One of the other
fields is planted in cor and the first
year the barn yard is planted in po-
tatoes. The remaining two divisions
ire used for a garden in which are
grown a dozen or more standard gar
den vegetables. The pupils study the
the selection and testing Of seed, and
SOW, plant, cultivate and improve
their Model Farms just as a modern
up to- date farmer is expected to do.
Allsthe literary and class room work
Of the school can be correlated with
the manual training and industrial
work of these Modern Farms. Dur
ing the winter shop work, both boys
and girls construct fences, gates, hen
houses, barns and other out buildings
and cottages for their respective
farms. The plans and specifications
are first carefully worked out and
studied, and are modelled after those
of the Agricultural department. Tha
buildings are constructed on a scale OF
one inch to the foot.
After the gardens and crops are in
growing condition, the improvements
are properly installed. When thor
oily completed under ideal conditions
the interested observer beholds a mod.
ell community Of miniature farm homes
resembling a most prosperous town.
ship.
These farms ar cultivated and i'm.
proved for twelve successive years OF
from the ages Of six to 10. They e~e
miniature experiment stations among
the environments where the children
will most likely make their homes and
their living. These embryo citizens
have their local and township organi.
zations;and hold their school elections
at the regular times. In this name,
they are taught practical civics in 9
way that appeals to their interests.
These model farms are to their future
home life what the plans and specifca.
lions Of the architect are to the build.
er; what the boy is to the man. The
proper coordination Of literary, man.
ual training and industrial work give.
a definite, logical, sequence, and fur
nishes the best kind Of education. fo1
the head, the hand and the heart.
The object II this plan Is to trai1
our boys and girls to become self-e.
specting, self-supporting America,
citizens; self-supporting American
home makers and home keepers.
