EQUITY EXCHANGE
REPORT INTERESTING
Tells of Honest Mistakes
Made in Early Years Of
Organization.
tBy Tom Parker Junkin.) }

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 29.-For the
first time this session. the house Is
almost unanimous. Practically every
member is ready and willing to vote
for recess of week. beginning with
Wednesday. 1t is probable the sem
ate will concur in resolution to this
effect. The resolution will be intro
duced today or Tuesday by Rep
-resentative Reishus of Minot 1t will
call for adjournment from Wednes-
day of this week to Tuesday Of next.
Many farmer members are very
anxious to get home to look after
their places. They have been receiv-
ing letters that unusually severe
weather and heavy drifting SHOWS
care of livestock and so most Of them
are ready to make the trip as soon as
possible.
At the same time there are num-
ber who desire to make a trip to st.
Paul during the winter sports carni-
val.
No Fair Removal.
The attempt to pass bill to re-
move the state fair from Grand Forks
Ito Fargo permanently Is the most
high handed piece Of business at this
time, and under the circumstances,
said a senator today You can say
there will be no such measure pass
the senate this session.
1T Is apparently an attempt to
punish The Grand Forks Herald and
Senator Stenmo, because they have
dared to stand up fairly and squarely
for the principles they believed in.
Grand Forks will retain the fair
this year, you may be sure of that
I understand there is move in Fargo
to have their representative repudiate
the measure, so far as that CITY is
concerned"
Equity Report.
The most remarkable statement Of
condition of the Equity Cooperative
Exchange appears in a report of the
recent meeting of the stockholders as
printed in the last number of the
Nonpartisan Leader. 1t will bear
reading and reading again. following.
as it does. the report of Endorsement
of the house bill "A, the secret caucus

President Anderson. in reviewing
the work for the past year, explained
to the stockholders for the first time

sented losses sustained during the
early days Of the exchange, through
mistakes made by the management"

These items had been carried on
the books as assets. until this year. as
1t was beheyed that admitting these
losses in previous years would have
resulted disastrously to the company.
In the same report, it is stated that
the same officers were reelected as
were the directors whose terms expire
at this time.

II Socrates is conceded to rank as
the greater. or more influential of the
two philosophers, II is largely because
of the devotion and ability of Plato
his admrer and biographer. Accord
ing to Plato's "Apologia,' Socrates was
really the supreme man of his age,
foremost in originality and in thought.
Ploto's great humanity-his uncon-
Scious prophecy of Christianity was an
exhibition of that-his application of
philosophy not simply to morals in the
abstract but TO nation, or personal
ity, has won him great popularity in
all ages. and there are many who put
the Stagirite in the second place, and
consider Plato his exponent as the
greater. and more influential of the
two. Really, il is wise not to attempt
comparison of these great Grecians,
but to read thankfully what their wis
dom has given to the world,-Ex-

SEND Them CANDY
Officers Advice to Women Wish
ing to Aid Soldiers.
Suggestion Explained by Fact That
Men Need More Sweets Than They
Get in Their Rations.

Somebody asked someone in the
quartermaster's department what she
could do to make life for the soldiers
at the front wherever that might be,
more attractive.
DO they need sweaters. or wrist
warmers. or what can | make them?"
| she queried
Don't knit said the man quoted.
Make them candy. they crave sugar
and they need sugar"
So the young woman in question
! promptly went 20 the nearest candy
shop and placed an order that a pound
of candy be sent every other day to the
particular soldier in whom she was in
tereSted.
Years ago when the Boer war was
raging Queen Victoria once celebrated
her birthday or some other festal day
by sending II package of sweet choco-
late to every Tommy fighting in South
Africa. And some of her subjects stay
Ing safely at home said to themselves
and each other: "Why on earth Is the
queen sending sweet chocolate to men
who are giving their lives for us? Why
doesn't she send them something they
need?"
Today most of US have come TO rec
ognize the food value that lies in
sugar We have learned that pure
candy. if 1t is eaten as food. is
wholesome. 1t is harmful when it is
eaten between meals. and so spells the
appetite. We know, too, that the more
hard physical work we do. the more
sugar we need, because ii Is an easily
aSsimilated fuel food.
Hence today the quartermaster's
mandate that we send candy TO the
front, although II at first seems
strange, is easily understood. The ra-
lions of the soldiers are carefully bal
anced, but still. many of them, living
outdoors all the time, crave more
sweets than they can get. and are bene-
fitted by them.
So add to your list another chance
10 help the men at the front-and send
them candy

Between tNO thousand aud three thou
sand horses are used for freighting

Baron Won Rosen was to put the poi

barns and start an epizootic among
the horses which would cripple the
whole transportation system.
The revelations in regard to what
the baron described as his scientific
