State Superintendent Approves
Of Club Plans for Baby Week

State Superintendent E. j. Taylor
has sent out the following letter to
the teachers and superintendent of
North Dakota.
Bismarck JAM 20, 1916.
Teachers and Superintendent:
The Children's Bureau of the U. s.
Department of Labor has inaugurated
a movement which has for it's object
improving of the conditions Of very
young children. This movement has
enlisted the attention of the best peo-
pie OF our country.
The National Children's Bureau has
designated the week beginning March
as Nationwide Baby Week. The fol-
lowing is taken from the circular sent
out by the bureau:
"The purpose of Baby Week In a
community is primarily educational;
It is two fold: First, to give to parents
of community an opportunity Of
learning the facts with regard to the
care Of their babies; and second, to
bring home to every one in the com.
munity the Importance of the babies,
the facts relating to the babies Of
that special community, and the need
of permanent work for their welfare"
The North Dakota Federation of Wo'
mems clubs has requested that our
people give this movement special at
tention through the public schools.
It is surely very proper for US to d.
rect the attention Of our people to
this subject. There is nothing Of
greater Importance to out state than
the children. Their welfare means
the welfare of uor state.
We have had our weeks for study
lag the resources Of our state and de.
Y1sing ways and means Of increasing
She wealth Of North Dakota. The nat.
ural resources, live stock, manufact-
airing and commerce have had our at
tention. 1t would seem that our PEG.
Die should very properly set aside one
week for the children and especially
the babies.
Lendorse the movement and ask that
you cooperate with the officers of
the Federation of Women's clubs and
the committee of the State Education
Association County Superintendent
Minnie J. Nelson of Barnes county
and M. Beatrice tombstone of Grand
Forks county, in making the week of
March to II one devoted to the vel.
fare of the very young children.
Very truly yours,
E. J. TAYLOR.

Japan Jumps on China

Washington, Jan. 26.-Awaiting con.
firmation from official sources as a
necessary preliminary to any action by
the United States state department Of
ficials were deeply interested today in
the report from London that the Jap.
anese government has revived all OF
the demands upon China included in
the famous group five" of the list OF
proposals submitted to the Pekin gov.
eminent more than year ago for a
permanent settlement of outstanding
issues between Japan and China.
There is a conviction in official cir.
cles that any action at this time likely
to have results toward warding off
the new Japanese demands must be
taken by the United States practically
alone. ...
With every evidence of sympathetic
interest by the European entente al
lies in the attitude of opposition which
the United States assumed when the
proposals on the GROUP five" orig
inally were submitted, it is believed
that none of these powers will be in
clined to take issue with Japan at a
moment when they are leaning heav.
lily upon their Oriental ally not only
for munitions but for military and
naval protection of their interests in
the Orient.
The very close study that has been
made here of the proposals embodied
in group five" has only confirmed
officials in their original belief that
if accepted in full by China without
protests from other nations they would
lead not only to material and indus
trial but even political domination of
China by Japan. =

COOPERATION is ABSO-
~ LUTELY NECESSARY

In any community, state or nation
no portion of a people can obtain per
menent good or permanent prosperity
at the expense of others. Proper
growth and development, proper pros
perity, can come only to all Of the
people. Building upon any other basis
is building upon the sands.
A business, a community, an institu
ton or an organization built upon any
basis which contemplates growth and
profit at the expense of others, can
not permanently prosper. An organi
cation built upon class prejudice is
foredoomed to failure.
This great state will serve her PEG
pie and her country, when her people
cooperate each with the other for the
good of all. Often misunderstanding
arise and injustice occurs but preju
dice and the branding of neighbol
as a thief will not correct such evils
Cooperative thought and an inclina
ton to do justice each to the other will
/ solve such problems.
Human beings average much the
same In all professions and occupa
tions. The banker is as apt to be
wrong as the farmer and each is sub
ject to the same faults and frailties.
Permanent prosperity will come
through sympathetic thought and al
endeavor to understand the other mar
rather than through class hatred. NJ
class Of citizen is free from the wor
ries and troubles of this life. Eacl
has his problems to solve, each has hi.
difficulties. Don't imagine that tn,
other fellows life is one long swee
song probably if you knew his trou
bles you would not trade places will
him.
Calm discussion and cooperation
will solve problems which organize
tions along class prejudice lines vii
only aggravate into open warfare ant
loss to all.

ANNOUNCEMENT

On account of the steadily inereas-
ing business of our firm we find it
necessary to enlarge our quarters in
order to be better equipped to serve
our patients.
Having secured the three front
rooms of the Houston-Grandin build
ing and completely remodeled them
we have an arrangement which is the
latest idea in dental parlors, the fin
ish of one operating room being in
buff while the other is in pearl gray
hurmonizing with the office equip
ment. The latest ideas of modern
sanitation are embodied in every
feature and detail.
We will in the future, as has been
our policy in the past, serve our pa
tients with the most modern methods
of dentistry and the most conscen-
tious treatment.
The firm is composed of DR.. Morri-
son, who has been practicing dentist
ry very successfully for the pasi
eleven years in this vicinity, and DR.
Rowe, more recent graduate of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons
of San Francisco. and who has beer
a resident of Nevada for a number o
years.

MONDAY NIGHTS FEAT
uRt AT THE NIXON

At the Nixon opera house next Mon
day night William A. Brady will pre-
sent Frances Nelson and Arthur Ash
ley in story of love, romance and
mystery, What Happened at 22."
Everybody loves a mystery play.
Here's one that blends laugh with a
cry. tear with sigh. A photodrama
of exceptional value, wonderful in
tensity, great suspense, with stars of
ability Following is a description Of
the play.
Not frequently, but now and then,
conditions force one of the South's
fair daughters to disregard tradition.
Needing the subtle call of The Big
City, she will pack her travelling bag
and a few days later be seen aboard
the ferry crossing from the Jersey
shore, gazing wild-eyed at the long
skyline of the "city of hope" no
doubt wondering if the clouds kiss
the tall towers that rise heavenward.
To her, it is "the city where dreams
come true"-where the fairy prince
who awaits her arrival. will make
vanish her sorrows, that all may be
happy again. And so all fair daugh-
ters may find it, if like Louise Lloyd,
they seek, through the right way
what most women deserve-eternal
happiness.
What happened at %" does not Of
ten happen, but supported by an ex-
cellent cast, Frances Nelson as
Louise Lloyd and Arthur Ashley as
Wilson, ably demonstrate what did
happen. and what every woman and
every man ought to guard against.
1t is a clean, wholesome, interest
ing and well-worth-seeing play, with
enough thrills to satisfy all.
