BUILD FOR THE FUTURE.

Are the people of Linton satisfied
with the building Of an addition to the
present school house? Are we build
ing for the future--for more than the
Immediate present? No, not even for
the present
When the present four-room build
ing was erected, even the school board
wee booming Linton. We all forcsaw
Linton was to grow; that good
school. High School and grades, would
help it's growth more than any other
factor, and yet without protest we let
that building be put up, cramped in
! between railroad. court house and
front strect--completed that no add
, ton could be made with architectural
beauty or convenience, and in two
wears what was the result? Eight
grades and four years Of High School
F, work have been clamoring for room to
work.
Is it feasible that an addition can
be added to that building, making it
possible to give the grade children
proper room inside and out?
Our country is waking to the needs
of it's children and it is timely wax
;:1E. See what progressive towns are
doing for their children. Their play
grounds are ample for games and pas
times in healthy recreations; for room
to watch the beauty and growth OF
vegetation The buildings are suf
ficicnt that room may be set aside
for domestic training for the future OF
the girls Rooms where manual ant
other training reach the boys tastes
and talents.
Thoughtful reader, what has educa
ton done for you? What would {
direction along your talents and de
sires have done for you instead o
bordering over rules and forms whel
, the real application of nature rule
and practical appliances would hav'
, helped all through life?
Add thousands of dollars in an add
ton to our school building and wha

bring children. They are going t
help pay the costs of the school. Tn

central building.
The grades will and should be SCI

PASSING OF PIONEER MERCHANT

Fargo, Oct. 23.-Funeral services
for William G. Doble, 60, president
and manager Of The Doble Co.,
Wholesale notions, this city, who
died at St. Paul at o'clock Satur-
day afternoon following six weeks
illness from diabetes, were held from
the residence of his brotherin-law,
H. M. Pearce in St. Paul, at o'c-
clock this afternoon. Interment was
made in st. Paul.
Mr.. Doble was taken from his
home, 921 Ninth street south, to a
St. Paul hospital two weeks ago, but
never rallied. His wife, sister,
Mrs. H. M. Pierce. of St. Paul, and a
brother, Bud" Doble, manager of a
large stock farm in southern Cali
fornia, survive.
For 35 years Mr.. Doble was a
travelling salesman, making the
northwest his territory. Coming to
Fargo from St. Paul three years ago,
severing his connection with the
Veil-Doble Co., firm that he helped
to found, Mr.. Doble founded the To-
cal firm bearing his name, maintain
ing active charge until his last ILL.,
ness. No other man was probably as
widely known over the northwest.

Mp. IMPROVEMENTS
AT DICKINSON

Dickinson, Oct. 24.-There is a
rumor current that the directors of
the Northern Pacific railway are con-
templating branch line work out of
this city, because of the extensive
improvements now under way in the
local railway yards. The round
house is being rebuilt, machine and
car shops enlarged, in fact the entire
yardage and shop equipment in
Dickinson is being improved and
modernized. Some venture the
guess that the Northern Pacific will
make a proposition for the purchase
of the newly organized Dickinson
and Southwestern railway, as soon
as actual construction work COM
mences. Anyway, Dickinson is due
for a big boom, both in the building
and business line. There should be
q million dollars in; new buildings go
up in this city next summer. Watch
US grow, and become the railway
center, as we'll az the metropolis Of
the Missouri Slope.

CARRANZA LEAVING
MEXICAN TERRITORY ?
Wife Crosses Border Into United
States Cause OF KumOr.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Charges
that General Carranza is preparing
to leave Mexico are being freely
made by his political opponents, in
Mexico City. They are based upon
his decision to leave his capital for
Queretaro, and the fact that Mrs.
Carranza already has crossed the
border into the United States, ac-
companied by the wife Of her hus-
bands war minister and chief sup
porter, General Obregon.
Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various reli-
able sources. So far, nothing tan
gible tending to support the story
has come thru official channels. IT
is known, however. that many officia-
ais here believe General Carranza
has committed political blunder, at
least, If he is not in fact preparing
for fight, by permitting his family
to leave Mexico just at this time
The trip, they say, was certain 10 De

fession of weakness.

HOME PROBLEMS
OF RURAL WOMEN
Lack Of Domestic Help I'm.
pedes Farming.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 24.-Home
problems OF the rural woman in re-
lation to the health of her family
were discussed by Elizabeth Kelley
of the University of Wisconsin at
the session on Rural Communities at
the seventh annual meeting of the
American Association For Study and
Prevention of Infant Mortality at
Milwaukee today. She called atten-
ton to the fact that tho the country
is the best place from the standpoint
of health, in which to bring up chill
dren, it is clearly shown by the NOR
tality records that the death rate
among infants from birth to one
year is greater in the country than
it is in many large cities.
This she said, lis mainly due
to three causes: Poor grade of coun-
try doctors, lack of nurses and lack
of domestic help. The farm woman
is an Indispensable part Of the farm
establishment. The home is the
only commissary department on the
farm. When the farm woman is
incapacitated the running order OF
the farm plant breaks down at its
most important point. 1t naturally
follows that the farm wife feels she
must be absent from her post not
more than three or four days at the
time of childbirth. When she re-
sumes her household duties after
this absence she finds SO much to be
done that she works beyond her
strength and lessons the supply OF
milk so that it becomes necessary tC
artificially feed the child partly OF
wholly.
"The remedy for the first two
causes - namely, poor physicians
and lack of nurses, lies with the
medical profession, but the last
teaching the mother how to care fol
herself before and after childbirth
is the province of Home Economics
'"The farm woman can no more
remedy the lack of domestic hell
than the farmer can remedy tn
Hack of hands on the farm. Lik'
him, she must turn to power machin
cry to solve her problems. The hus
band has the seeder, the planter, tn
cultivator, the mower, the reaper, al
run by power, so the wife must have
first, running water in the house
then the bread mixer, the dishwash
er, the meat grinder, the washini
| machine, the vacuum cleaner. Sh
1 must learn to make machinery, guild
ed by her brains, do the work tha
a dozen human hands cannot do
She must learn that it is her patri
otic duty to give to the state, strong
healthy boys and girls and to do thl

TAGGED DUCKS
WANTED BY u. S.
Wild Game Birds Cured, Sought BY
Biological Survey.

Bismarck, Oct. 24.-If you kill or
capture wild duck bearing an al
uminum band around one leg, the
band having a number on one side
and on the other request that the
U. s. department of agriculture or
the biological survey be notified, you
are urged by Uncle Sam to forward
the band Immediately to the bureau
of biological survey, department OF
agriculture, Washington, D. c.
Valuable to Survey.
The band, If accompanied by a
statement as to date, place and cir
cumstances under which the bird
was taken, will be of service to the
survey in it's efforts to determine the
longevity of individual ducks and
the routes of migration of the spe-
cies.
The hands are being attached to
considerable numbers of wild ducks
of various species which have been
cured of the duck sickness prevalent
around Great Salt lake, Utah, and
there released.
Anxious for Reports.
Many of these diseased ducks
also taken about year ago from
the Long Lake region, near Bis
marck, cured and set at liberty.
The department is especially anx-
ious to secure reports from these
birds to determine their complete re-
covery from this malady, which has
killed hundreds of thousands OF
ducks in Utah.
Local sportsmen report that there
is little indication of the prevalence
of this disease.
