The Press sincerely hopes that the
appointment Of Mr.. Taylor to the
presidency of Dickinson's now normal
school has, or will, be made. There is
not a more capable man, more con-
scientious man, nor a more scholarly
man in the. entire state. He is man
of liberal education, holding several
degrees from some of the, best edu-
cational institutions of the United
States. His first appearance in the
political arena of North Dakota was
when he was elected clerk Of court of
Grand Forks county several years ago.
He then rose in rapid succession to
superintendent of schools of the same
county, then deputy state superin-
tendent, and finally to the highest
educational office in the state, that of
superintendent of public instruction.
He held this office three terms to the
entire satisfaction Of almost every
educational critic in the state
This summer the people of Dickin-
son and vicinity became intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Taylor through his
association with the Dickinson sum-
mer school, Of which he was the head
Yes, let's have Taylor as president of
our new state institution.
Many friends and admirers of P. S
Berg, superintendent of the. Dickinson
schools, have hoped to see him head
of the new normal and justly so, as
he is thoroughly qualified to assume
executive control of any educationa
institution in the. state. sBut Mr.
| Berg, so rumor has It, has declined
the honor, feeling perfectly satisfied
to continue the work of supervising
the city schools. =,

Thursdays session was given over
to President Robert M. Pollock's an
nual address, Secretary Treasurer
Oscar ]. Sellers report registra tion
details. A banquet at the st. Charles
hotel in the evening concluded the
program the day, except for those
who accepted the invitation of the
Dickinson Town and Country Club to
spend an hour or two at the club
house dance.
The feature Of the banquet program
was the address, "A Week in the
Courts Of England" delivered by
Judge w. D. Evans of the supreme
court of Iowa. Judge Evans has the
faculty Of talking law entertainingly,
and his description of English juris-
prudence was of great interest, both
to the lawyer and to- the iayman.
Today (Friday) the morning ses-
sion was given over to an address on
Responsible Government" by Hon.
John E. Greene of Minot, followed by
reports of committees, election of Of
ficers and the selection Of the next
meeting place. This afternoon the

'FLIVVER" PUTS WATER
SYSTEM ON THE BLINK

On Saturday evening a Ford driven
by Mrs. Chas. Bakke became mman-
ageable at the intersection of Second
Street and Second Avenue West, and
charged head-on into hydrant at the
curb. The hydrant was broken off
and. on the following day a crew
drained the water pipe and repaired
the damage. When the collision
took place a young lady passenger in
the car received the contents of a pail
Of perfectly good ten-cents-a-quart
milk over her clothing, much to her
chagrin-and to the merriment of by
ISLANDERS.
A remarkable thing about the acci-
dent is the fact that while the iron
hydrant was broken off, the Ford was
not injured in the least and the motor
never stopped. The accident was due
to the confusion of the driver in max
ing the turn at the corner when other
cars were travelling near the corner
in the opposite direction.

"Near Beers''
Subject of Discussion Between
Attorney General and
DIR. Ladd.

DR.. F.. F. Ladd, commissioner Of
pure foods for North Dakota, does
not seem to agree with Attorney Cen
eral Langer's recenb order prohibit
ing the sale of Notwithstanding "near
beers" in the state. DR.. Ladd. states
that it is next to impossible to ascer-
tain the volume of alcohol in a bever-
age if below one-ffth of one per
cent, and recommends to the attorney
general that this figure be made the
maximum to be allowed. All of the
"near beers 'on the market since the
putting into effect of the bone-dry
law have tested below this mark, &C
cording to the food commissioner, and
hence are recommended for lawful
sale by him.
Chemists, if the .one-ffth of one
per cent dead line is established, will
be in a position to go into court and
maintain their findings under exami-
nation of experts who may be used
by. prosecuted companies, is a consid-
Grafton that has covered DR.. Ladd in
his; recommendation.

GrasshoPpers
Do Much Damage to Crops on
Lillibridge Farm Near
Regent.

Grashoppers, thousands of them
are doing considerable damage to
crops in the vicinity of Regent. E. A.
Lillibridge of this city, who has farm
ing interests in that vicinity, reports
that these pesky insects have almost
completely destroyed his flax crop,
and that only the stalk is left to tell
the tale of what might have been a
fair crop of So flax. He brought
back a sample of his flax which
speaks for itself, all of the heads and
leaves being destroyed. He believes
that the grashoppers hatched out in
an adjoining field which has not been
cultivated this year.
Considerable damage has also been
locality. This is the first time for
done to wheat and other crops in that
many years that grasshoppers have
infested this section of the state.
Crops in the Regent country are
reported to be very good, that locality
being particularly favored with local
rains during the growing season, and
feed is plentiful.
