manlfestly not good business to do
work in that way, as compared with
handling 1t at nominal expense, as
an incident in connection with other
work, which is the way such repairs
are attended TO under the direction
OF an experienced road official.
On the other hand, it must be ac-
krowledged that the most expensive
man on road work is a fool engineer
He is responsible to very great ex-
tent for the prejudice many have
against engineering supervision of
road construction. But there is nc
excuse for county employing an in
competent man. An engineer apply-
ing for position should be endorsed
by those for whom he has worked
and by men competent to pass judg-
ment on engineering work. An en-
gineer with only a good character
will build roads without any "char.
acter."

FOURTH. You go to school to
get the one thing without which any
life is loose and weak-Discipline
Discipline means that your intelli-
gence controls your feeling, and de-
sire does not lead your intellect.
So you learn tastes. You learn that
you can change your tastes, mold
them, and make them minister to
your wholesome happiness and not
drag you down.
You learn to think. There is no
thought that is of any value that is
not disciplined. Thoughts are things;
they make and unmake you. And
you learn to herd them, govern
them, drive them as you choose. and
not helplessly follow them.
And you learn to use your Will. A
tough and hard Will is the surest
guarantee of happy and forceful
career. At school there is constant
appeal to your Will. You must COM
pei yourself to do this, you must re-
strain yourself from doing that.
Thus YOU come to self-mastery.
That is why you go to school
You enter the schoolhouse to find
yourself-Pictorial Review.

Q.-Suppose prospective land
buyer can not raise 80 per cent of the
value of the land he wants to pur-
chase. would he be permitted to exc
cute second mortgage to come due
while the amOrtiZed loan was being

A.-Yes. With a longtime amort-

second mortgage, because the first
mortgage would be gradually reduced
every year and would not fall due for
long time.

ton as any government based on eX-
ploitation and compulsion ever can
hope to accomplish. Why do govern
mentalists then denounce Germany
as a menace and advocate prepared
ness against it? The preparedness
advocates are now busy trying to in
stall in this country the German sys-
tenn of military training and service.
And they have an awful pile of OBJ
stacles in their way. And it is doubt
full if they ever will succeed. But
they would have no difficulty in get
ting that splendid and ingenious sys-
tenn if they allowed the Germans to
invade and conquer us. If the Ger
mans ruled us we would undOubted-
ly get and enjoy some of the benefits
and blessings of German ''kultur,"
while the preparedness" people
would only give us it's burdens, duties
and disadvantage and none of its
good things.
Being conquered by Germany we
would have one enemy less, we would
have a much more efficient system
of government and preparedness and
would therefore be infinitely better
prepared to destroy such real and
dangerous enemies as the Canadians
and the MeXicans. - Theodor john

LET THE GERMANS TAKE U.s.

LET THE GERMANS TAKE U.S.
One of the dangers against which
the preparedness advocates would
have us prepare is Germany and
possible German invasion. But why
fear Germany? Why not allow Ger
many to invade the United States
and take over our governmental af-
fairs if it wants to?
Up to this time Germany and all
things German have been the shining
example of governmental and all
other efficiency. Our reformers, leg
islators and governmentalists have
never tired of talking about Ger
many's ingenious systems of govern
ment, sanitation, Legislation, educa-
ton, etc. A university professor,
who is now a Socialist alderman in
Chicago, once went to Germany to
study municipal ownership, city san
itation and city government, and has
ever since Tin vain) tried to give Chi
cago the benefit of Germany's splen-
did achievements in these fields.
Then there is practically no I'M
employment in Germany. There are
no municipal lodging houses with
long bread lines outside. There are
no armies of unemployed, hungry,
half-naked men, tramping the coun-
try from one end to the other and
riding under box cars. No slum dis
tricts like we have in Chicago. No
police graft scandals. The police are
honest and efficient No such scan
dals and continuous fights as we
have in our municipal administra-
tons, county boards and school
boards. There is no such criminal
carelessness on the part of the au-
thorities as caused the Iroquois fire
and the Slocum and Eastland and
other similar horrors. And there is
infinitely less crime. While we have
129 murders to a million inhabitants
per year, Germany has only five.

Norton Is Pushing His
Rural Credits Measure

Washington, Feb. 9.-Representative
Norton today introduced in the house
a resolution to discharge the commit,
tee on banking and currency from fur
ther consideration Of both the rural
credits bill introduced by himself at
the beginning of the session and the
so-called administration rural credits
bill, introduced by Representative
Moss. The resolution provides that
these bills at once be placed upon the
union calendar and be considered by
the house.
Representative Norton is determined
in his efforts to have early considera-
ton given by the house to a rural
credits bill so that legislation for the
establishment of a rural credits sys-
tenn for the country will be enacted
without fail by this congress. Repre-
sentative Norton declares that if rural
credits legislation is to be secured
during this congress, an active and
vigorous fight will have to be made
by the minority in congress, really in
favor of this legislation at this time.

basketball that all like to see. They
are striving to play clean passing

type of playing, if perfected, enables
a team to play the ball around any
team which uses the opposite type. 1t
is difficult to master, but the boys are
improving in their cleanness of play
and basket shooting

Coop, Weston, Brunette and Bowen
are fighting hard with honors about

these men has any position cinched
and the moment anyone shows lack of
pep" there is somebody to take his
place.

to Come to Saint
GATHERINGS Church

1t is not very often that the people
of the Northwest are able to secure
the services of the big men who stir
the churches of the large eastern cit
les to the remarkable religious enthus-
iasm that we hear off, bringing them
as humble servants to the feet of God
despite the allurements of enticing
pleasures. I do not think it hazard
Gus statement to claim that the peo-
pie of Valley City will have in their
midst one of the most powerful speak
ers, one Of the most magnetic figures
that it has ever been their pleasure to
hear from public platform. Father
Mullaly, of Chicago, who will lecture
during mission to be conducted at
the local Catholic church, beginning
next Sunday, Feb. 10, at 1920 a. m
1t is merely through fortunate coinci-
dence of circumstances that we were
able to engage this man for Valley
City, as for years his efforts have been
anxiously sought by the large city
churches. I make these statements
without fear of contradiction, know
ing we'll of Father Mullaly's reputation
as a Catholic speaker and with the full
confidence that our citizens will feel
well repaid for having accepted this
invitation and coming to hear him
Throughout the week beginning Feb
10, he will speak in the forenoon dur
ing 10 o'clock services and in the eve
ming at 1880. Outside of the fact that
the teachings of the belief of sixteen
million American citizens will be ex-
pounded by this man of great ability,
his oratorical powers alone will pro-
vide an intellectual treat for his hear
ers. During one of his lecture courses
in St. Paul two months ago, the larg-
est church in the city could not &C
commodate the ever-growing crowds
This is a grand opportunity to hear
"the other side of it." Come and join
us in divine service next Sunday at
1870 a. m. and at 1880 p. m.
