 Mr. Curtis recalls a visit in 1875 to the snaithy of one of these ancient artisans at East Hartford. There, pusify engaged, was an old man forg- iag spoons for Hartford jeweler. The

FARMER LEGISLATION
WANTS TO FINISH BY 1920

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. is. - The
North Dakota's farmer legislature is
not going to get for its farmer con
stituents all the things it set out to
get. This was apparent today. But
they have gotten and will get good
deal, Just the same. The session ends
March /.
Holdover senators mussed up the
program the farmers had planned for
the 1917 session. These senators had
been elected for four years under the
I'D regime. They will be out in 1919
when the farmers hope to control the
house and senate. This year they
rave only the house, whose members
are elected biennially.
1t will therefore be at least 1920
before the farmers legislation is
completed. 1t may be even 1921 he
fore it is enacted. State owned ter
minal elevators, state owned flom
mills. state owned cold storage plants
l,te hail insurance, exemption of
farm Improvements from taxation
state inspection dockage and grading
OF grain, and rural credit banks op-
Grated by the state, are things the
farmer legislators still seek to get.

DIRECT FROM THE
STATE HOUSE

The senate will have two problems
with which to wrestle this week. The
confirmation of the Governors ap-
pointments and the Horton-Harris
prohibition bill which passed the
house last week. Incidentally the
senate may take up few minor
things but since rushing business
seems entirely out of the ordinary in
the upper house, the minor things
will be exceptionally minor.
AS the house adjourned Friday
noon to meet again Tuesday morning
with pretty full calendar and with
a large number of additional bills re-
ported out from the committees, it
will face enough the first thing to
keep it busy for couple of days at
least. As the calendar closed Friday
it had but one really important bill
the measure by Mrs. Hertz. repeating
capital punishment. While there has
been little lobbying in the interest of
this measure, there seems to be lit
tie if any sentiment in favor of a
change at this time. The bill will
probably die natural death.
The public welfare measure intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Coul-.
dren of Weld county, is finding a
large amount of opposition. The
measure would practically pass the
police powers of city out of the
hands Of the regularly constituted
authority into the hands of COM
mittee of five, this committee to be
appointed by the mayor. The law
would give the board, should this
measure become law, most pow
erful and arbitrary. The board would
be given power to do all things me-
cessary for the preservation of peace
the good order of the city, and for
tine conservation of health and NOR
ais. and for the suppression of vice
and immortality of the inhabitants of
the city. 1t is held that in the hands
of unscrupulous individuals this
would be hardening back to the dark
ages and result in untold harm.
Many Denver societies are against
the measure and objections to it have
commenced to come from other cities
and towns in the state.

THE MODERN NEW
YORK POLICE FORCE

While the country is on the subject
IF preparedness, it might be well to
turn to New York city for practi-
cal example of what efficiency, dis
cipline and readiness can do to a po-
lice department.
New York has known for some
time that in Commissioner Arthur
Woods it had a valuable head for its
police. But it is just beginning to
wake up to what he really has done.
In a speech the other evening
Commissioner Woods revealed in de-
tail some of the changes that he has
made. First he told how San Fran
cisco, at the time of the earthquake,
had to call upon the United States
army to handle the situation and how
the cities in the Ohio valley had to
do the same thing during the 1918
floods. Then he proceeded to inform
the citizens of Gotham that their po-
lice force is prepared to take care of
just such emergencies without any
outside help at all.

York city be suddenly turned out of

the food and clothing can be secured
and how to get it. In case comnun-

and Brooklyn, the police know where
they can get the boats at once to
resume traffic.
There is another side of Commits
sioner Woods preparedness. He be-
lieves in first aid to the ex-convicts.
His policemen are not allowed to
hound them. On the other hand it is
their duty to help them. Policemen
have found jobs for 700 ex-convicts
already since this order went into eff
feet. Moreover the cops" keep in
close touch with these men to sec
that they succeed.
New York policemen must be ply

as any army. They are taught first

DIRECTORS OF FAIR CHOSEN

Owing to the fact that it is the
general opinion that this is to be the
big year for the San Juan the Colo
rado-New Mexico fair directors met
last evening for the purpose of Sc
.ecting their officers for this year
with the idea of getting an early
start.
There is no more important orga-
nization in the San Juan than the
Colorado-New Mexico fair associa-
ton. There is no more useful and
entertaining program offered during
the year in this section than that Of
fered by the fair association. 1t is
the one great big event for all San
Juan people.

chosen president; Frank Eldredge,
vice-president; Morris Stein treasur-
er; A. d. Leiner was chose secretary.
The other directors taking part were

1t is to be hoped that the directors
will be able to get the united sup
port of the people of this section and
give extensive publicity to the next
fair that it may be the best ever held
here. 1t is the big things that count
most. Let our minds work on a
broad gauge track and then we will
look for results accordingly.

TOXIC, Japan, Feb. 16 =. Eight
German war prisoners, released from
the Japanese prison camp at Nagoya
near here, because they were of
French descent and former residents
Of Alsace-Lorraine, are today on the
way to Marseilles to join the French
amy and fight the country which
,laims them as subjects.
The men left Yokohama secretly.
Their families are still in German
territory and the ex-prisoners fear
hey will suffer mistreatment from
the Germans if the latter hear of the
release in Japan. The eight prison.
ers were captured when Tsingtao fell
to the Japanese. There are fourteen
others in the Nagoya camp who
claim to be of French descent. They,
too are expected to apply for release.
