yet, we freely predict this type Of ed
ucational work on ''preVention' will
prove q real asset. Needless to say
the audiences are larger by far than
prevailed over the former method.
Through the aid of friends in Bis
marCk ana over the state to the num-
Der Of seventy, we were able to raise
a special fund amounting to $4,000
for this new phase OF the work.
Praiseworthy Wordo.
We desire very heartily to thank
the several ministers and singers and
accompanies who have donated their
time and talent in aiding us to carry
on the Christian IIndeaVOr work at
the penitentiary. Aside from the few
ministers from out of town, all who
rendered service in this respect liv'
in Bismarck. dnAlAM1
a case Specially Mentioned.
We deem it wise to record one spc-
cial case largely, if not altogether,
the fruit of the society's labor at the
penitentiary. The young man who
wrote the "A Prisoners Redemption
words and music, which is mentioned
above as having been sold over the
state, was converted while a prison
inmate to his own confession. The
proceeds from the sale of the music
wont toward helping him get re-estab-
lished and also to take up his forg
gu cneckS. he was released some
time ago and is now in Il training
school fitting himself for Christian
work The society Sill retains an
interest in him.
Respectfully submitted,
G.. B. NEWCOMB.

Automatic sprinklers successfully
controlled 9ss per cent Of the fires
reported In cotton mills. which are the
most hasardous Of industries.

An interesting editorial in a
recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, dealing with the
cost of the European war, points
out that from a broad viewpoint
everything consumed in the war
is pro llce1 llring the war, ex.
cept the small amount, compare
lively speaking, of bridges, rail
roads and buildings destroyed by
actual military operations. The
article draws the conclusion that
the greatest property lossis the
entire cessation Of saving by the
population of the combatant ma
tons. Europe's savings, which
normally amount to about seven
billions each year, are now en-
tirely non-existant for the reas-
on that each nation is putting all
of its resources into its military
operations. The article closes with
the startling statement that the
individual who saves nothing is
financing himself on a war foot
ing. How many people are
there in this community who are
doing this very thing?
