A. c. BERG OF T0WNER
ELECTED PRESIDENT
McHENRY COUNTY MAN CHOSEN
HEAD OF THE NORTHWEST
ERN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIA-
TON.

The eleventh annual session of the
Northwestern Educational Association
closed a two days session Friday
evening. A. c. Berg, superintendent
of schools Of McHenry county, was
chosen president. Supt. Francis Of
Minot, was elected vice president;
Supt. Darling of Bottineau, second
vice president; Miss Edith STADIUM, of
Minot, secretary, and Supt. Rochne
of Renville county, treasurer.
The report of the treasurer showed
that the membership of the associa-
ton is 479.
The gathering of educators of the
northwestern part of the state in their
eleventh annual session this year was
pronounced the best meeting the AS
ISOLATION has ever held. The papers
read and the addresses given being
especially applicable and pertinent to
present day conditions. The spirit of
the times demands more in the way of
adapting studies and Investigations to
the practical affairs of life, and to dis
pense with the less essential studies
Trade schools, manual training, music
business courses and the like will
gradually supplant the studies OF
merely esthetic value.

WOMAN PRESIDENT
BUT never A WAR
HUGHES WILL BE NOMINATED
AND SOPHIE PETERSON WILL
WE'D, SAYS JACK McNULTY.
Nobody need Worry.


No war will follow the sending OF
President Wilson's ultimatum to Ger
many. The United States will never
20 to war with any foreign country,
but will be the greatest nation in the
world for time to come because OF its
independence of the world. Germany
will take Verdun and peace will fol-
low in October.
Also Wedding.
This is the forecast of Jim McNul-
ty, free lance prognosticator OF the
Northwest. Also he adds that he will
marry young woman named Sophie
Peterson on June "a, 1917, at James,
town, N. D.
81 have never met or heard of her
before" he said. "Out of nine sweet
hearts I have had, Sophie Peterson
will be the one that I will love. She
will be Christian, tall, very grace
full, black eyes and hair, pretty as a
peach and very attractive to the
world. But I don't want too many
Sophie Petersons writing to me be-
cause this is leap year.
Time to Buy Wheat.
1--WE would have had an early spring
long ago except for the German guns.
. 1t is time for everybody to buy wheat.
We will have terribly hot June and
+ July and it will be dry, in Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota and North and South

crop to speak Of, as the hot weather
from June 6 to July IA will burn it up,

SICK MAN SHOOTS AND
KILLS HIS NURSE.

Reeder, N. D., April 1S.-Mrs. Irene
Puarie of Slim Butte, this county, was
accidentally shot and killed by a
young homesteader for whom she had
been caring during an illness. The
patient and another young man had
quarreled during the day, and in the
evening, when the homesteader was
aroused from sleep by a noise just
outside the door of his home he de-
manded to know who was there.
Receiving no answer, and thinking
it was the man with whom he had
quarreled, he shot thru the door and
killed Mrs. Puarie. The coroner's jury
exonerated him.

AUTO AND ANIMAL EXPORTS.
New York Times-l

The enormous export business built
up in this country as the result of the
war, in automobiles, horses and mules
wer reflected in a statement issued
yesterday by the foreign trade de-
partment of the National City Bank.
IL showed that nearly $500 900 900
worth of cars and animals had been
exported since the beginning of hostil-
tiles. The value of automobiles and
their equipment shipped out of the
United States from the start of the
war to date in round terms amounted
to $1S0,000,000, and of horses and
mules and their equipment an equal
sum. Last weeks records show that
the port of New York shipped out
nearly 100000 worth of automo-
biles and about a like value of horses
and mules
France was the largest buyer of
American horses, nearly one-half of
the animals exported going to that
country direct for immediate use in
the war zone. The shipments for the
seven months ending with January,
1916, were of horses to France, 1922
600, to Great Britain, $4,000, and to
Canada, 1900. Most of the horses
shipped to Canada found their way to
the battlefelds.
The total number of automobiles ex-
ported to France in the seven-month
period was 5000. against more than

A merchant on being asked what he
considered the greatest difficulty in re-
tail trade remarked that he thought
II was the lack OF the spirit Of unity
among the merchants. lie felt that
they did not take competition in the
right spirit II they found themselves
undersold by a competitor, they con-
.ceived a crouch against the man that
underbid them. They call him a cut
throat, would scarcely speak to him on
the street, and would not work with
him for the general upbuilding of the
town.
No man who is ct to serve the public
through retail trade ought to fret at
healthy competition. A little rivalry
spurs a man to do his best. No man
who has a good grip of his calling
complains about It. He looks at II
MS part OF his training. Every time
that he is worsted in fair COMPETE
ton he feels that something has been
added to his business education by
which he will profit next time.
If he finds himself undersold, let
him study the costs Of his business,
the problem of getting new trade and
of buying right, instead of complain
ing at the activity of a competitor.
Then he will be able to build up his
own lines of trade secure from COM
petition. When a merchant gets sore
on his competitors it is a sign that he
Is playing a losing game.
While competition is healthful. it
can of course, be overdone. II goods
are sold too close, the trade of town
tends to be cut up into a large num-
Der of little stores, none Of them big
enough to do business cheaply or to
serve the public efficiently.
Business men will find they can
head off unfair competition best by
cultivating the friendship of each 9TH
or. Let them discuss what should be
the prices in standard lines, and make
more effort to establish a basis for
mutual cooperation and good natured
competition.
