EAT, DRINK AND Be MERRY
IS SLOGAN Of PUPILS HERE
lBy Dean Samuel Quigleyl


In no place this side OF Boston is 1t
imagined that one may subsist on the
ethical provender Of philosophy alone.
And even the reputation of the erudite
"Hub Of the Universe" is based upon
a specious fiction. Boston is quite as
legitimately characterized by baked
beans and brown bread as by high
thinking and idealism.
Be that as 1t may, people must eat
to live in Gunnison; and how to ar
range for the Normal students in these
days of war prices on foods. was truly
a vital question until the cooperative
boarding club was started. The
Coop" perhaps. may not be regarded
as a complete solution. but 1t helps.
What do you think Of It? Table
board sufficient In quantity and splen-
didly cooked. at twelve dollars the cal
endar month. or forty cents day! Po-
tatoes. meat. flour. milk. butter. eggs
and all the staple food products have
continued to soar. and yet 1t has been
possible to maintain a rate that is
within. the means Of almost all stu
dents.
It requires q considerable force to
run an eating house for sixty people.

The object, first. to advance the in
tsrest and promote the culture of music
In Gunnison. Second, the mutual i'm
provement of its members.
The aim of the club is being realized
svery day as each member understands
that the ideals of the club can only be
attained thru the constant endeavor Of
the individual. At all meetings the
spirit Of good fellowship has been domi-
nsnt.
About twenty ladies' have become
members of the club thus awaiting then
selves of the opportunities to get &C.
quainted with the worlds best music.
The first year the club work was devot-
ed to the American composers. The
two years following were spent in q
systematic study ofthe German Masters.
The past two years the club has studied
the Polish composers and the programs
have been very interesting rs well as
Instructive.
In view of the interest taken in the
club work the past year the members
decided to hold meetings during the
summer months. The social feature as

any country or people the hostess may
choose.

were practically confined to the

Dakota Pressed Brick company's plant

past week and has organized a COM
pany with Bismarck capital to manu-

manufactured at the plant here. The
local concern is taxed to its capacity
in Keeping up with the orders for this
splendid building tile and the new
company will greatly facilitate the
large volume of business. 1t is under
stood that the company will erect a
plant to cost around 100000 at once.
Being located where shipping facili-
ties are much better than at Dickin-
son, the tile can be put on the. market
to a better advantage and the con-
Germ will be better able to meet COM
petition by the reduced freight rate.
1t Is also understood that Mr.. Ell

CONTROL OF
UTILITIES Is
UNCHANGED

Bismarck. n. D., Feb. 2S.-Repre-
sentative Coles bill placing public
utilities under the control of city
councils. commissions, ETC.. instead of
under the control of the state board
of railroad commissioners. is dead. II
was killed by the senate. but yester-
day an unsuccessful attempt was
made to- resurrect it.
THE conditions which brought this
bill into being took all of the money
of Devils Lake man and finally his
life" declared Senator Hyland Of
Devils Lake in opposing Senator
Cahilfs motion to resurrect III. B. No.
3S5, which removes public utilities
from the control of the railway COM
mission, under which they were placed
two years ago, and restores them to
the home jurisdiction of tn
municipalities. "A fight was made
for this law two years ago." said
Hyland, "in order that there might be
some higher tribunal to which might
be referred such bitter fights as we
had there in Devils Lake. / hope now
that this bill, which would repeal that
law, is dead, and all the bitterness
which it has created has died with it,
that it will be permitted to remain
dead"
This bill is a spite measure pure
and simple said Ployhar, in opposing
Cahill's motion, land every member in
this senate knows it. It's passage
would be a backward step. We fought
hard two years ago to get public
utilities under the jurisdiction of the
railway commission. where thirty five
other states have them.
Cahill defended his motion to resur-
rect the bill, declaring he did not re-
gard it spite measure. but a good
bill. League brethren agreed with
him, voting for reconsideration, but
the 20 ayes were overridden by 20
nays and 385 remains at rest.
