THAT Is the difference between
determined man and an
nhsflnaAA NAM A. Eulion

obstinate man? At Fulton
street and Broadway the other after
noon a certain man stood wondering
what he would do with an hour and a
half between business engagements.
Staten Island came to mind. He
boarded a South Ferry trolle, and In
exchange for his nickel received a
transfer good for passage on the
Staten Island ferry to st. George. lie
enjoyed the trip down the bay and not
having time to go ashore according to
his business programme prepared to
return on the same boat. The fare
collector came.
"Give me a trolley transfer back to
Fulton and Broadway" said the man
as he handed out his nickel. II don't
issue transfers." answered the fare
collector. "If you wish one you'll
have to go ashore and pay at tho
ticket ONCE"
That started the wrangle. Tho man
argued that he was entitled to a trans
fer right up to the moment the boat
was to leave. Hot words passed be-
tween him and the collector.
"Ill moi ride back on your damned
line" said the man as he went ashore,
He declared himself at the ticket ONCE
and announced again that he wouldn't
ride on the boats OF a company that
had such bum management"

ment has been gaining momentum for
some time now to limit the number of
hours to be devoted to work to eight
also. What about the remaining eight
hours of the day. the speaker ques'
toned. s&A.,. ~
These Dean SQuires asserted should
be spent in leisure; not in idleness or
in amusements of debasing nature
but rather, in a leisure that will make
for the uplift of the body and the
mind. Such time should be spent in
activities Of constructive nature and
should be given as much Importance
as the time spent in work or in sleep
The address was we'll given and in
spirational and was well received, as
Dean Squires' addresses always are.

Lusitania Settlement Is
Favorable to the j. s.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Germany is
understood to have agreed to the sug-
gestion of the United States that she
substitutes the word recognizing liza
bility" for the word assumed liabil-
ity" in the tentative draft of the COM
munication designed to settle the Lusi-
tania case.
The revised draft was received here
late tonight from Berlin. It will be
submitted to Secretary Of State Lans-
ing tomorrow by Count Won Bernstorff.
the German ambassador. From high
Teutonic authority came the statement
that it was expected the Lusitania case
would be finally settled to the satisfac-
tion Of the United States and Germany
at conference tomorrow between
Secretary Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorff.
American officials already have said
the two governments were "substan-
TALLY in accord" The ambassador is
understood to be prepared to make the
tentative communication formal note
setting forth the instructions which
have been given him by the Berlin for
eign Office.
1t was also stated that one modifi-
cation made in Berlin was not material
and that German officials here did not
consider that the state department
would object to the change.
Officials and diplomats said tonight
that if the communication, as submit
ted tomorrow by Count Won Bernstorff.
contained the statement that Germany
recognized the liability for the lives of
neutrals lost in the commission of an
act such as the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, probably the last cause of con.
tention has been removed and that the
administration could we'll proclaim as
having achieved recognition of all high
! principles for which it has contended.

Faculty Guests Were
Banqueted Tuesday

Nearly 100 members of the faculty
and their friends, met at reception
and banquet in the home economics
rooms at the State Normal school
Tuesday evening in honor of Dean and
Mre. Vernon P. Squires, of the Univer'
sity of North Dakota. A delicious four
course turkey dinner was served by
the young ladies of the department.
Following the meal, President Nc.
Farland introduced Dean SQuires as
one of the prominent leaders in the
educational field in this state. Dean
Squires responded with an address on
"Some Of the Characteristics of Con-
temporary Poets" He named several
poets who are attracting attention at
the present time, among them the Gre
ator of "Spoonriver Anthology" Alfred
Noyes, Massefeld, and Gibson.
The speaker read from each of the
authors and showed the general trend
of their work. He pointed out a new
form of expression, which is neither
poetry or prose, but has something of
the style of both.
The work of each of the authors
named was characterized and CRITICS.
ed by the speaker. OF these
Spoon River Anthology" secured the
worst arraignment, for it is a work
that is neither rhythmical nor does it
portray uplifting themes. But, from
the other writer's, Dean Squires admit
ted he looked for better works.
The attempt Of modern poets, it was
pointed out, is all in the same direc-
ton, that of leading expression to the
universal brotherhood of man.
Following the interesting and edify-
ing address of Dean Squires a social
hour was spent and greatly enjoyed
by all present.

Board Of Regents Lets
All Contracts in Future

Bismarck, Feb. 1.-THE question of
arranging for contracts for the publ
cation of the catalogs, for the janitor
and dormitory supplies, for uniform
regulations regarding the government
of the various educational institutions,
annual budgets, entertainment and lee
ture courses and kindred subjects, will
come up for consideration in prelim.
mary way before the state board of re-
gents at the meeting which began here
this afternoon and will continue the
rest of the week.
It is probable that arrangements will
be made for the letting Of contracts
about the April meeting.
The board believes that a better
quality of goods can be obtained and
possibly reduced rates through letting
the contracts in this manner than by
permitting each institution Ito award
its own. The calls for bids will be SO
arranged that local dealers can 60
after the contracts in their home
towns, or after those in all the institu.
tions If they desire. The contracts
will be on the basis of local delivery at
each institution. The board has found
this plan works successfully in regard
to fuel supplies and believes a more
general application Of the system will
make for economy.
In regard to rules and regulations
for the various institutions the board
recognizes there must be a certain
amount of individuality and fexibility
for each, but also believes uniformity
of a certain character can be made ef-
fective in such a manner than will be
beneficial.
The intent of the board appears to
be to let contracts and make regula-
tions for the institutions wherever it
can be done in benefcent way, with
out in any manner handicapping any
institution.

can not be separated. The lodge calls
for belief in God; the church for an
effort to love and obey God. The
church keeps a PERSONS relation to
truth and light in the first place, as
a preparation for proper motive and
inspiration, while the lodge looks only
to the inspiration Of form and social
influence. The church strikes for a
dynamic that will hold the man, the
lodge deals little with dynamics other
than precept. The church would move
a man to cry out, "Create in me
clean heart, o, God, and renew right
spirit within me-" and this is true to
the message of the Christ.
in conclusion there is no place for
a conflict between the lodge and
church. The work Of the former may
be limited in it's scope, and this is
mems right. On the other hand, for
those who want life as Christ advo-
Gated it, there is need for taking the
wider basis for the individual life.
One may belong to and work in a
lodge, and be bigger than the aim Of
the lodge as such. Indeed one who
fully understands the implications of
the ideals of the lodge will never sever
himself from the institution that the
more perfectly insures their attain
ment." .....,.....
There was a large audience, the Odd
Fellows entering in body, and the
sermon was listened to with interest.
The choir, under the direction Of Mrs.
W. T. Craswell, with Mrs. Blumen-
shine presiding at the organ, lead the
singing and rendered splendid
anthem. A solo by Mrs. Craswell
pleased everyone. Next Sunday the K.
P. lodge will be present to hear the
sermon by this interesting speaker.
