Honorable Board Of City Commission

Bismarck, North Dakota.
Gentlemen: ,.~
Enclosed find statement covering
operations Of Auditorium from Janu-
airy LIST to July 1st, 1917. The showing
for this period is quite satisfactory
considering the conditions and circum-
stances. The weather was extremely
cold and the coal bill amounted to
over 100000. The large number of
free dates, as shown by the state
ments,f accounts, in part, for the heavy
expense of lighting and heating the
building and the extreme cold weather
for the balance. The number of shows
handled was small compared with pre-
viOus periods.

Summer Silage Beats Pasture

Thirty three acres ON t h G
State College farm ut BrooklngS
produced about 4o0tons OF Silage
enough to feed fifty COWS for d
full year, While the same area in
pasture would carry twenty COW $
for only about four months. Ac-
cording to Prof. G. Larson OF the
dairy department, silage for both
summer and winter supplies the
best and cheapest feed in the
Northwest.
Summer silage is more econ
omical than summer pasture be-
cause it yields approximately
seven times as much feed from
the same area. Furthermore,
pasture is subject to INJURY by
drouth which might Suddenly
cut off the supply OF succulent
feed. Summer silage is also
more satisfactory than soiling
crops which cannot be handled

She's Beginning

The hens are beginning to lay.
This sounds like an inconse-
quential barnyard item OF news,
but it means millions. The price
of eggs must come down and the
effect upon the high cost of living
will be big for 40 meal is failure
if it contains slsillfullv cooked eggs.
And, the hens having resumed
now is the time to knock high
prices ON next winters eggs by
family preservation of eggs.
Municipal governments, Con-
gress and the United States SUI
preme court have found no way in
which to defeat speculation and
cornering. The h e II has. She
lays and lays, when the laying's
good. She sits on q handful Of
straw and does her part to bust
trusts. She does her part and that
we have egg trusts is not her fault.
There was time when the
American housewife preserved her
winters supply of eggs, and butter
too, when prices were low. Now
a-iays she is usually too busy.
Every housewife and every
househusband, too, knows that
competition is sure cure for COM
bination extortion. They don't
act. The hen does. She lays most
eggs when eggs are cheapest. and
considering the labor and pains she
takes to get up eggs, you can't
blame her for not laying eggs that
will not preserve themselves.-St.
Paul News.

Governor a Worker

Probably there is no man in the
state who is more sincerely glad
that the legislature has finished its
session than Governor Norbeck.
He has been the hardest worked
man i'll the state house for the last
two months.
He brought it upon himself, of
course, because he knows so many
people in South Dakota and the
Legislators felt themselves so we'll
acquainted with him that they have
been seeking him out so often.
Norbecll has wav with him that
has made himself one with the rest
of the working members OF the
state government. When he peel
ed Off his coat in the gubernator-
ial private office and attacked the
mountain of work that always heap
ed his desk, his visitors felt right
at home and proceeded to unbur-
den more upon his broad shoulders.
He carried the load, and between
the legislators and himself the last
session has placed vast amount
of really constructive and progress
i've legislation upon the statute
books. Aberdeen American.

ter of the highway acts of the last

work would be required under the

that the requirement would not be

Juggling potatoes and lum-
ber was not the only thing he
did, however, before he landed
on the campus of Northwestern

Lane worked for a while with
his brother, who ran furniture

the lumber yard job, because it
paid more than $40 a month.

Told Why Prices Soar.


was Mrs. Christine Frederick $
advice to University of South
Dakota students whom she. add
dressed on The High Cost of
Living. Mrs. Frederick is IA
member of the staff OF the Lad
les Home Journal.
Mrs. Frederick took up the
causes ofthe high cost of living
in detail The decreased
area of land available for beef
production and the fact that the
American farmers are turning
away from stock raising can be
credited with the increased cost
of meat. With this is to be con-
nected the equally potent cause
of unreasonable demand by the
consumer for fancy cuts of beef.
Some men seem to think beef
steak is all that grows on Il
steer" said Mrs. Frederick.
The tremendously increased
money price Of land is another
reason tor the high cost OF liv--
ing. Only 3s per cent of the
population of the United States
now lives on the farm, and this
36 percenthas to fill the nation
al larder.
National extravaganza is a
cause for the high cost of living
and will continue until Ameri-
cans learn thrift. So extrava-
CANT is the American nation that
65 per cent of all productive la
Dor is engaged in producing lux
uries.
The increasing demands of
labor for shorter hours and more
pay entered into the cost of
everything including the means
of transportation as we'll as the
means of production.
The unreasonable demands of
the consumer add to the tremen-
dous cost of living. To buy q
loaf of bread or cake of yeast
and have it delivered means an
increase in the cost uf living
The craze for sanitation which
demands that every store hand
ling food products he white
enamel store that the clerks be
white enameled. that the pack
ages be sterilized and deodorized,
means a tremendous waste and
an added cost.
Changes in the style designed
merely to make the consumer
spend more money uselessly add
to the cost of living. When a
woman finds her last seasons
shoes are sound and good but
somewhat out of style she
throws them away and buys a
new pair and adds to the burden
and the budget.
Lack of judgement in buying
and lack of discrimination be-
tween essentials ON the part of
,he consumer means a higher
cost of living.
Mrs. Frederick urged the wo.
men students of the University
of South Dakota to study home
economics, to try to prepare
themselves for efficient home
makers and to learn the values
of different human foods. "The
farmer feeds his hogs scientifi-
cally,' said Mrs. Frederick,
but human beings eat what
tastes good and looks attractive
no matter whether it is good
from feeding standpoint or
not" She urgrd the men stud.
ents to study economics in buy
ing and urged them to go back
to the farm it they had the op-
portunity and desire to engage
in agriculture. "1'he farmer is
the only member of organized
society who approximates econo-

Frederick, and the farmer
