conn CONTEST

We would like to call attention
TO the Boys COrn-Growing contest
Announcement Of this conest has
already heen made thru the Bull
letins for March and April. The
response has not been as encour-
aging as we had hoped and we sus
pect this is partly due to the fact
that seed was not to he furnised.
This. together with the scarcity
Of seed. may have led some of the
hoys to feel discouraged about err

We think this contest is too
valuable for those who take part

GENERAL svs,Nees SITUATION

The main characteristics which
have been noted of the business
situation in recent months are un
changed, except tv show signs of
greater intensity, as Spring comes
on and the period for more active
outdoor operations is at hand.
There is not enough of materials
or labor for all the work that til.
country would like to have done,
and the result, of course, is that
the requirements which are most
pressing and can afford To out
bid the others will be served
first, and others will await their
turns.
The effect of fun employment
and rising wages are seen in the
excellent reports upon the retail
trade which come from all sec
tions of the country. There is
Il large distribution of merchan-
disc, and retailers, instead of buy
ing for immediate wants only, are
rndravoring to cO.er their wants
for some time To come. I'hi is
is always the case when the turn
has clearly been made, and the ef-
feet is to- ovcrwhelm jobbers and
manufacturers and stimulate
prices unduly. The buying pow
er of tn" country, based upon tn"
money value of the crops and dis
bursementS for wages i'm all lines
of industry. was never SO great
as at this time. that is rrowdiIig

STATE BOARD
OF REGENTS
Arc Getting the Educational sys-
tom Financially right Down
To Business
LARGE MEETING NEXT WEEK
Al The Heads Of the Different
Schools Will Appear and
Submit Their Dudaets

Next week Will be q DuSy period
for the members of State Board
of Regents and the heads of the
educational institutions under
the control of that organization.
A meeting will begin Aprii ~ that
may continue practically all week.
Each Of the presidents will ap-
pear before the Board and sub
NIT the budget for the next fiscal
year as we'll as information relat-
ing to all forms of supplies.
The budget plan has not former
ly been in force at all t hesitate
schools. It is being inaugratej
by the Board, which insists on a
systematic system for each in
stitution that will insure each
keeping within its appropriation
for the coming year.
The Regents have also decid-
ed to let the contracts for the
supplies Of the various institu-
tiuns direct rather tran to follow
; the old custom of each puchas-
ing for itself. The members be-
lieve they will not only be able
to save the institutions and, i'll
cidentaly, the taxpayers, money
through this plan, but that it will
also secure higher quality OF
goods and more efficient service.
Recently the Board let contracts
for the printing Of the catalogs
of the institutions and has other
plans for systematizing the busi-
ness phases of the different state
schools.
The sessions of the Board next
week will be "f special interest
because of the presence Monday
and Tuesday of Dr. p. p. Clax-
ton, u. 5. Commissioner Of Edu-
cation. This gentlemen is super
vising and directing the education
al survey of North Dakota, which
is being conducted by the State
Board of Regents. His assistants
are DR.. f. b. Craighead, until re-
Gently president Of the UNIVERSE
ty of Montana, DR.. w. L. Bawdcn,
industrial expert of the Bureau
Of Education in Washington, and
Dr. l.. ID. Coffman, of the depart
ment of education at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. They are do
ing the detail work while the U.
is. Commissioner is giving it gen.
eral direction.
DR.. ClaXton spent month in
the state Of Washington, where
lie is directing a similar survey.
While in Bismarck Monday and
Tuesday he may give the members
of the Board Of Regents some
outline of the report Of the sur
vey commission which is now we'll
under way and is expected to be
completed in June.
DR.. Claxton was in North -Da-
kota last November when the work
was started and again after the
holidays. He visited some Of the
institutions last fall and is fairly
familiar with lie work at the three
state normal. the State School OF
Forestry at Bottineau and the Un-
iversity of North Dakota. After
his conference with the first of
next week he will visit the North
Dakota Agricultural College, the
State Schoo of Science at Wan

NAY BUILD OUR
OWN RAILROAD
Commercial Club hears Report "a
To Huron.Duluth
Limo
WILL CONSULT ENGINEER
Other Work Done, Al ooina to
Prove That This is
The Man

A meeting of the board Of dir
ectors of the Commercial club
was held April 9TH at the Park
hotel at 6:i5 p. III. to receive the
report Of the secretary relative
to action taken at the annual
meeting Of the Duluth Huron and
S. w. R. r. held at Wahpeton,
April 4th.
The secretary presented the re-
solution adopted at the Meeting
of March 23rd, to the effect that
the territory crossed by the pro-
posed line from Sisseton to Per-
ham would undertake to raise ap-
proximately $l5OO,OOO if that
route were taken. He also ad-
vanced the argument that this
route was shorter and more di-
rect; that it passes through a
territory with greater population,
and one that would and does have
much greater productive powers
than the other. That it was a
country that could easily be built
through and that Fergus Falls
already possessed a survey with
complete protiles. etc. Offering a
good basis to justify the cmsidera
ton of the proposition; that
most of the line would be of easy
construction while at least a part
of the second route offered very
difficult territory through which
to build.
The officers of the company
said that the city had had a
chance to get the road, that their
representatives came to this city
last summer and asked for the
Commercial club but were in
formed that there was no such
organization. They then at
tempted to place their PROPOSE
ton before men of town hut did
not meet with encouragement and
left Che city without further ef-
fort. The proposition was ther
put up to the towns of the other
route and accepted by them; thai
their report was already for the
underwriters of the bonds thai
it was proposed to sell to build the
road with. that they We're anxious
to get to work at once and thai
it was hardly desirable to oper
up the matter again. They die
offer to give careful considera-
tion to any survey the club might
make and suggested that we have
a survey nf the route as proposed
and that the opinion of consult
ing engineer he secured at a to-
tai cost Of approximately $1,000
That if such action were taker
would he glad to consider it.
BY vote of the directors il
was tehn taken as the sense of the
meeting that i'm the view of the
fact that the city already had q
very complete survey of the route
through Fergus Falls that it was
not desirable to spend 81 900 on 4
further survey with no assurance
that it will he uhed. The vote
directed the committee to get ir
touch with a good railroad mar
with the view of ascertaining the
possibility of building such a
road by private effort. Also tc
secure all possible information
as to the cost Of building and
operating gas electric line or
this route. Report to be made
at later meeting of the entire
club.
At this meeting plans for en-
tertaining the Stavanger Lagt
which comes here in June and for
considering a Commission form
of government were also consid-
ered.-Fprgus Falls WheelOck' 5
