THE HIGH

IS FOUND BY LUD|A
American Representative of Inter.

ture Says Need Is Scientific
Plan of Marketing Products.

Rome. Jan. 2G--"The remedy for
the high cos OF food IN the Tinted
States Is adoption by the national
government OF a scicntinc plan for
disposins Of farm products. aatJrd-
ing to David Lubin, the American
representative to the International
Institute OF Agriculture here and
himself the originator Of the plan of
founding that institution.
The remedy Was worked out by
Germany many years ago and all we

he said. The trouble with our pres
ont farming conditions is that the
mlddleman and the Spectator rather
than the farmer get the bigges, profit
from the sale OF farm products. This
Is shown by the faetithat soon nearly
so per cent of the farms Of our coun-
try will be morteaeed or merely oc-
cupied on lease by the soii's cultiva-
tors.
What Poverty Means.
Right here in GONE a long while
ago we had a striking example Of
what poverty means Ia the farmer.
IN the time OF Emperor Tiberius
Gracious. Rome began 60 buy her
food from Africa instead Of encourage
ing her farmers. The land rapidly
passed from the hands OF the culti-
vator OF the soil TO other ownership.

No Recommendation.

Signor Marconi, in an interview in Washington, praised American democ- racy.
 "Over here," he said, you respect a man for what he is himself-not for what his family is-and thus you re- mind me of the gardener in Bologna who helped me with my first wireless apparatus.
 As my mothers gardener and I were working on my apparatus together a young count joined us one day, and while he watched us work the count boasted of his lineage.
 'The gardener, after listening long while, smiled and said:
 eff you come from an ancient fam fly it's so much the worse for you, sir, for, as we gardeners say, the older the seed the worse the crop.'"

The Editor.

Editors, like actresses-beg pardon. like actors-are hidden from the vulgar gaze when off stage. It is not meet that the curtain should be lifted upon personalities, for this might lead to personalities; hence the editor is in a flock all to himself, save when attend ing conventions.
 The editor, be it known, however, has no sorrows. He is gay lot upon the universe, shifting shiftily from one white page to another, blithering blithely as occasion fits, regretting nothing, daring everything.
 The editor fattens upon anonymity Yet he is human, for when by chance his name appears there is no living with his concGjt. And when 1t is mis- spelled-ye gods, the masses have their revenge!
 Here's to the editor. May he live long and write short! - Richmond Times-Dlspatch.

and delightful
The music was furnished by Haer-

splendid time and good class of music
was an inspiration to the dancers.
The crowd was one of the largest
ever seen in the Armory and from the
beginning of the grand march to the

one of gaiety and brilliance
The presentation of the favors form
ed an enjoyable diversion at intervals
| during the evening. They were in the
form of patriotic emblems, especially
appropriate at this time. A very beau.
| tiful and unique effect was produced
! after the presentation of the flags,
when the guests sang the national
songs while dancing and waving the
flags.

tiful entertainments ever given in VAL

Easter Services at Churches
Of City Were Very Beautiful

Of the audience with renewed zeal for
the Christian life. The music by the
choir, under direction of Mrs. Cras.
well, was pronounced the best ever
heard in the church, and as climax
to day of superlativeS the collection
for the education of Priests was the
largest ever contributed in the church.
Due to a very bad cold, Father Baker
was practically debarred from partici,
patton in the services and was contn.
ed to his house on Monday.
Easter was full of beautiful things
for those attending the Baptist church.
The church was elaborately decorated
in a typical Easter decoration repre-
senting life and death. A white cross
draped with smilax and banked with
tulips formed beautiful background,
while the foreground held Easter lii
les and white hyacinths, all typical of
the Easter idea. Overhead were drap.
ings of red and white and the words
"Christ is risen." All services of the
day had the Easter message and were
we'll attended. In the evening Rev.
Quello proved the truth Of the resur-
rection of life and explained it's full
est meaning. Mrs. Sam MikkelsOn
sang the old favorite, "Tis so sweet to
trust in Jesus" in very touching
manner. All through the service there
was spirit of peace and conservation
and those present felt that Easter was
more sacred than they had ever rea-
lized.
All the churches had special music
and services, but report of some has
not yet reached us, although from
what We hear they were most enjoy
able.

Bread Making contest Holds
Attention Of Lasses Of County

One Of the interesting industrial con-
tests conducted for girls in Barnes
county from the county superintend-
ent's office ias the bread making con.
test.
' Upon first thought this work may
seem rather simple and insignificant,
but when we consider the food value
of bread and its important place in
the diet we realize that any girl who
can make good bread has mastered
one of the most important problems in
cookery. How often we find girls who
can make various fancy cakes and
pies, but who cannot make a good loaf
of bread. In view of this fact we
ought to begin to place more emphasis
on this plain, wholesome food which
has long been considered the "staff of
life.' Bread and butter make almost
a perfect food.
Instructions for this contest have
been sent out to all the schools in the
country where domestic science
teacher is employed. The contestants
will make at least six bakings, write
a story and reports which will be sent
to the county superintendent Office.
Local contests will be conducted in
different schools before Juhe /, 1917.
The local winners will meet in Valley
City to give the final public demon
stration during fair week next fall.
Emphasis is not to be placed upon
the prizes, but rather upon the skill
to be acquired in doing the practical
work. However, the prizes offered are
significant and are as follows:
First-Trip to boys and girls insti-
tute, Agricultural college, Fargo.
Second-Fifty pound sack of Occi-
dent -four, presented by the Russell
Miller Milling Co.
Third-A set Of baking tins present.
ed by Veblen, .Myhro, Aldahl Co.
Some recognition will be given to
all the girls in the county who finish
the work creditably.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in this contest which is certain
to be very beneficial.
This contest is under the direction
of Miss Clara L. Larson of the county
superintendent Office.

School Attendance Law Is
Set Aside by Needs Of U. S.

Attorney General LANCER some time
ago sent out several letters to the
county slpecintendents CT schools and
states attorneys in the state instruct.
ing them to enforce the compulsory
school attendance law. Owing to the
conditions likely to follow because OF
the threatened war he deems it best
not to push the fulfllment of this law
and County Superintendent Nelson
and States Attorney Richie have re.
ceived the following letter from Bis,
marck, which will be Of interest to
school patrons:
International complications have be.
come SO acute that it is highly prob.
able that the United States will soon
be involved in war. The department
Of agriculture has issued a statement
calling upon all inhabitants to plant
every available acre into grain. The
state of North Dakota is the bread bas-
ket OF the United States and conse-
quently the call of the department of
agriculture involves directly every
farmer in North Dakota. Owing to the
scarcity of farm labor in this state at
the present time, it is my interpreta'
tion Of Section 2 of Article 1912 of the
Compiled Laws of 1913, that every
child kept home by the farmers of the
state in order to help them till the soil
and plant crops are not illegally out
of school, because such child, where
actually employed in the aforesaid
business, is actually necessary to the
support of the family. In ordinary
times such construction of the sta
tute would be unwarranted, but in a
situation such as now exists, such a
construction in my opinion is right
and proper. Will you please immedi
ately upon receipt of this letter send
copy of it to every school officer in
your county?
Thanking you for your courtesy, in
this matter, am, Yours very truly,
William LANCER,
Attorney General
