THE FIRE WHISTLE,

The firemen are within their rights
when they ask that the fire whistle
be blown at night in case of fire un-
der the new alarm system. Under
the new system each fireman will be
notified individually in case of fire.
If the fire whistle is blown hun
dreds of people crowd around the fire
and interfere with the firemen. In
several cases in the past firemen and
others have been injured on account
of crowds interfering with the work
of the fremen. Automobiles have
been left in the middle of the street
directly in the way of the fire truck
and firemen
The firemen have the right plan
for fires in the down town districts.
One fireman will be detailed to tele-
phone the owner of the property on
fire. The owner is the only one that
need know of the fire. In case of a
fire which endangers block or
which gets beyond control the fire
whistle will be blown and then every
citizen will know that there is Sc
rious fire and that his help may be
necessary.
It is up to the firemen to decide
for themselves:

AGAINST PEOPLES WISHES,

The action of a member of the
county commissioners voting against
the appropriation of $3.50 to assist the
Northern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION in it's excellent work in
Northern Minnesota, and thereby de-
feating the appropriation, we believe
to be against the wishes of the people
of Beltrami county.
That much good is being accom-
plished for the county by the asso-
citation is very evident. 1t is one of
the few means for advertising the
county and to take care of the in
terests of the county.
It is regretable, in our belief, that
the interests of the people have been
defeated.

LEAP YEAR,

It is all right, boys. Cherished

American girls, even though it is

New York leaders have agreed on
that point though they differed on

posals. -

the housewives league of New York,

of information he never asked for Is hurled at

~ODAY l want to talk especially to parents
who troubled because their children are
perpetually asking questions Most OF all,
/ want to them not to make the mistake
many parents make Of trying to discourage this
questioning habit
AS a matter of fact, the parents who ought
to be troubled are those whose children ask few
questions
A child who does not ask many questions is
usually child of sluggish mentality The more
questions a child asks the more alert, a rule,
his mind is
He asks questions simply because his mind is
active and because he instinctvely Graves to get
which he lives.
This Is the parents opportunity
Instead of REFRESHING the child instead OF I'M
patiently ordering the child to be SILENT the wise
parent will try to his child's questions IN
such a way as to increase the chtlds stock OF
knowledge and at the time keep alive the
impulse to question.
To repress the child will only deaden the childs
mind. False evasive answers will similarly have
bad results. Or, stated more deliberately by one
authority child psychology:
MANY of the questions put by child can be
answered only fragmentarily. Many Of the an
swers, moreover will be misunderstood to
add shadows to the dark places.

not be answered at fifty-and could not be IL the

They are among the permanent human problems
"But these are precisely the questions when
must be answered carefully and honestly II the

The atlanta c commercial EXCHANGE

The Atlanta Commercial Exchange organized
comparatively short time ago is enjoying steady
progress and constant growth. Beginning with
forty, members it now has enrolment of about
one hundred and forty and a campaign has been
recently launched to bring the membership up to
two hundred more.
The organization is composed Of of At
lantas leading cotton brokers, cotton seed oil
brokers and grain and provisions dealers. The
exchange holds two sessions daily and fixes cotton
quotations for the Atlanta market. These quota
lions furnished to the government and the
principal cotton exchanges. At daily session
also by interchange of trade is made Atanta's
market for cotton seed oil products. Atlanta is
fast becoming one of the big cotton seed oil CEN
tiers of the south
Atlantas commercial organizations perform for
it many and varied services They bring together
the leaders in every line who alert to advance
the city's business interests and to maintain and
enhance the city's reputation the leading COM
mercial and industrial center of the southeast 1t
is gratifying to note the growth of the Atlanta
Commercial Exchange, one of the youngest of these
organizations.

Twenty-Cent Cotton
And It's Dangers.

The new high record for the price Of cotton at
tanned during the latter part Of the week must OF
course. bring rejoicing to cotton farmers through
out the south and In fact all southern business
interests From the present crop and what re-
mains OF last years yield, it is estimated mat the
south will have $1,000 100000. which includes
cotton seed and cotton seed products.
This immense sum turned into the business
channels of the south must necessarily raise all
business activity to high tide. Prosperity is here
and here with rush, to be sure, but IL brings with
Il many dangers and temptations. 1t is time now
to give strict and intelligent heed to these dangers
that the prosperity Of the south may be conserved
for the future and not dissipated in reckIessness
and futiIity.
The most forward menace growing out of
present conditions is that the farmers. swept of
their feet, so to say by the big price for cotton
may be lead into the folly of overplanting next
year. 1t must be asserted again and again that IL
IS the total yield of the cotton against the needs
of the world that annually fixes the price. 1t so
happens that the crop this year is small and the
demands OF the world large-hence the record
prices. change in either of these factors effects
the price directly. The southern farmers have no
control over the consumption of cotton products
This is determined by the ebb and flow and the
eddes of world commerce. The demand for cotton
prising proportions. No can forecast this with
accuracy.
But the southern farmers can control the size
OF the crop planted If all the south is white with
cotton next fall it may be set down certain that
no such attractive prices for il will be forthcoming
is now the case Self restraint and a steady
head are the prime requisites of southern farmers
facing the new crop year.
Another temptation that should not go I'M
noticed in this connection is that southern inter-
ests. now more flush with money than at any time
for many years, may be lead into unwise invest
ments and specuIations of all kinds The way of
safety lies in the payment of old debts and the
saving OF the surplus the turning of it into in
Festments. the soundness of which cannot be
doubted; safe and sane" once slogan that
failed in politics. It cannot fail, however in the
business OF this and next II the south will take
it to heart and live up to it strictly.

Wilson's Part in the ...
Future World Peace.

We rejoice in the election of the most
sagacious statesman American politics has
thrown up since Lincoln. 1t is the one
indisputable CLEAN of light in the dark future
that lies before the world. 1t is to do some
thing nobler than the building of a higher
tariff wall for the American plutocracy that
he comes back TO power. 1t is to establish
a society of nations and TO change the whole
doctrine of force in the world. He cannot elm
mate force, but it is in his power and the
power of the American nation to make force
grind the wheels of peace instead of the
wheels of war
These are words said of President Wilson by
Alfred G. Gardiner, editor of the London Daily
News in a special article in recent issue of that
paper They set the ina gination to leaping with
regard to the role President Wilson may play in
the great adjustment and readjustment that is to
come The fates who preside over History Past
NAV truly have saved Wilson to transfer him to
History Future TO enact the leading part in the
drama of The World at Peace Again and in the
founding Of a Band OF Nations to insure its con-
tinuance Under Wilson the American people have
decreed that force must forever be subordinate to
right Under him false notions of national honor
have been blown clear OF the path of humanity
struggling to find itself. He may, indeed, stand
forth as the central figure Of the century that
evolved the Parliament OF Man under whose DEGREES
all the world shall yet live and labor, Tapped in

The Value of Your Vote.

Surely there has been no more dramatic han
pening the political life of the United States for
a generation at least than the overturn in the
aspect OF the result Of the election that took place
between the Tuesday night of November and the
Wednesday morning after. On Tuesday night
Hughes seemed elected on the returns from New
York and the east and few states of the middle
west. On Wednesday morning Hughes defeat and
Wilson's reelection were inevitably forecast in the
returns from the far west.
The Louisville Courier-JournaI draws an i'm
portant lesson from this happening and believes
that the dramatic circumstances will serve to i'm
press it indelibIy upon the minds of the American
people Says the COurier-Journal:
For several days the whole continent was
waiting in suspense for information as to how
few remote. inaccessible corners of the
country had voted. On these scanty stray
Cling returns depended the result of the ma
tionsl election in which nearly seventeen mil
lion votes had been cast. New York
who writes I Rule above her Headquarters I'm
Wall street watching eagerly with one
hundred million OF Americans, for the news
of a few dozen votes that we're to decide the
presidency of the nation for four years
The volume of history never recorded more
impressive lesson Let New York learn from
it that she does not rule. Let the Democrats
at least, learn from fl that New York can not
rule except by the suferance and serviIity of
other parts of the country. Let every voter in
the land learn from it the value of his vote
and the Importance of casting it inteIligentIy
and patriotically.'
It is really alarming how many men possess
the franchise and yet do not use it. They regard
with indifference this priceless heritage-a blood
bought gift from the forefathers. Surely If they
have never known its value before they cannot now

Economical War Cake.

A fruit cake without eggs was much used in England during the holidays and further popularized by being called war cake" It is really very good and undoubtedly economical. It requires one-half pound of flour, two ounces of sultana raisins, one ounce of entrants, one ounce of but ter, one-half pound of brown sugar. one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda. one tablespoonful molasses, one-fourth teaspoonful cinnamon or mixed spices. one-fourth teaspoonful of ground gin ger. one teaspoonful vinegar. Mix the ingredients after creaming the sugar and butter, in half-cup of milk. Put the vinegar in last and very carefully a drop at a time lest it curdle the mixture. Bake in moderate oven for an hour and do not cut for a week.

LIVED UP TO INSTRUCTIONS
Told Always to Do Things by Com bination. Pat Faithfully Obeyed
 His Employers Orders.

A gentleman in want of a coachman had an Irishman apply for the situa- tion, when the following conversation took place between them:

 Sure, they're all here, sor.
