As Predicted

During the late winter of 1916
and early spring of this year numer-
Gus land sales were being made each
day and it was generally thought
that after spring seeding was over
that a Stacking down of the farm
transfers would occur However. as
predicted by this paper, that has not
been the case, as every day new
farmers have appeared on the scene
and farms have been bought almost
every day during the entire time, and
from figures made available from the
different real estate Offices, a safe
and conservative statement that more
than $4,000 acres of land have
been sold during the last eight
months is about correct. Some do
ings. boys and girls, and when this
years crops are turned into cash of
approximately 100000, the reason
for the great activity in the real es-
tate line is most evident.

In speaking of the labor situatio

In speaking of the labor situation
President Spoule of the S. P. Co,
said: There are Just so many units
OF labor available. The railroads have
to compete for this labor with all
other industries. In our mainten-
ance of roadway, bridges, buildings
and structures we are short about
$500 men. These figures are with
out reference to the draft. Perhaps
when the crop season is over we may
get some relief by the return of the
men to railroad work. Our disposi-
tion is to employ women in places
where they can fit into our work.

A total of $4,000 had been reported
subscribed at moor today in the cam
paign for raising funds for the Y. NJ.

Fexpected- that the quota Of $4,000 for
this city and county will have been
reached in the course of two or three
days. One team, hat which is cap

completed it's campaign with a total
Of $S75 subscribed in it's district, and
several other teams have reported
progress all along the line.
The full campaign force has not
been working yet, but will be active
on the firing line tomorrow when all
members of all the teams will do
their utmost for the purpose of rails
ing even more money than the local
allotment calls for.
Reports which keep on coming in,
are to the effect that the campaign
meets with enthusiastic sentiment on
the part of practically all classes OF
scitizens. and those who are in charge
sof the campaign entertain nc doubts
that Grand Forks city and county will
have done its very best when the cam
closes on Saturday.

Northern Pacific tracks and is now
stationed back of the First National
Bank building at DeMers avenue
where the public is invited to inspect
the exhibits which have been sent
here under h auspices of the United

in Indian lands in Oklahoma.
j. E. Schwalm Of Poteau, Okla, is

with him a corps Of demonstrators

sires to dispose of is allotted and.un-
allotted Indian land in the eastern

1t is described as excellent agricul-
tural, timber and grazing land, and
much Of it contains oil and various
mineral products, such as lead, zinc,
natural gas and manganese. OF the
latter mineral, substance the govern
quantities for use in the manufacture
of ammunition. ii
The land is being sold in 40, 80 or
l6O-acre tracts, and it is not neces-
sary to go to Oklahoma in order to
file for it. All arrangements can be
made here while the exhibit car re-
mains in the city.
A number of local people visited
the car this afternoon and made a
thorough inspection of exhibits, and
when it is opened again this evening
at 7 o'clock, it is expected that a large
number of citizens will avail them
selves Of the opportunity to get first
conditions.
Mr.. schwalm and his demonstra-
tors are ready to answer all questions
that may he submitted to them.

a horse from Canada into United

REQUIRED FOR
RURAL SCHOOL
Problems Of Educational I'm.
provement Discussed at
Teachers Institute.

The conferences at the Grand
Forks teachers institute were contin-
ued this morning, conducted by CLYDE
K. Travis Of Mayville, and assisted
Catherine Gallagher Of this city.
During the morning hours various
problems relating to rural school bet
terment were discussed by Mr.. Travis,
who pointed out the necessity of hav-
ing legislation provide for better
trained teachers for the rural schools.'
ldMr.{ Travis also emphasized the fact
that rural school management cannot
be efficient as long as political in
fluence is tolerated in connection with
filling the offices of the state and
county superintendent.
Various other points were taken up
in the course OF the address Of Mr..
Travis, such as, for instance, the re-
adjustment of the system Of public
school taxation; extension of commu-
nifty center activities; Improvement in
rural school attendance; standardiza-
ton of rural schools everywhere, and
consolidation of one-room rural
schools wherever that is feasible.
During the morning hours consid-
cradle time was also devoted to a. dis
cussion of primary reading. advanced
reading, nature study, etc.
Those in charge of the institute
agree that this years attendance is
tPSAASSS. AAoAiI ~ pOllkCS VI VIEW, dIlO
that Grand Forks county has as good
and efficient "a body of rural teachers
as any county in the state. Educators
who have opportunities for compar-
ing this county with other sections
OF the northwest, say that Grand
Forks has no reason whatsoever to
feel Inundated.
A part of the morning session was
spent in learning the last verse of
the national hymn, America" 1t
seems to be a pretty we'll established
fact that the majority of people gen.
orally sing only the first verse of my
Country, 'Tis of Thee" so it was
thought appropriate, in view Of the
crisis through which the nation is
passing, to impress upon the teachers
the Importance of teaching their pu-
pills the words of the final stanzas of
the song:
Our fathers God: to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing,
Long nay our and be bright
With freedoms holy light;
. Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!"
The institute discussions were con-
tinued this afternoon, and , prizes
awarded for the agricultural and in
dustrial exhibits Of boys and girls
from all parts of the country. Var
ious contests were scheduled for to-
day, and also a story, hour conducted
by Phyllis Sherman, president of the
story hour club at the high school

GEORGETOWN TO
DRIVE FOR BETTER
STREET LIGHTING

A big drive for better street light
Ing in Georgetown is to be launched
by the Georgetown Citizens Associa.
tion when it resumes its activities for
the year 1917-1S.
Officers Of the association declare
that street lighting in Georgetown is
the worst in the city. Recommends
tion was made by the association to
the Commissioners for inclusion in
the annual estimates OF a sufficient
sum to provide new lights for N
street and Wisconsin avenue, the two
big business streets OF Georgetown.
B. a. Bowles, president of the as
sociation, said today that George
towns lights were the worst in the
city, and that there was not a bust
ness street, even in Anacostia and
outlying suburbs, that was not bet
ter lighted than the two business
streets OF Georgetown.
Every residence street in George
town is still dependent upon the old
gas lamps Of civil war days. Electric
lighting has not been extended west
OF Rock Creek in Georgetown prop
er, except on the two business streets
which have Out-of- date arc lights
that furnish a minimum OF illumina-
tion.
