 Catcher Killifer, who is AleXan- der's battery mate and who was solo to the Chicago Nationals recently with the pitcher, easily makes the nlace behind the bat. His grand aver age is .629, eight points better thah that of Rariden, of New York, Con zaIez of St. Louis, is third ana Wlhso' of Cincinnati. fourth
 Among the first baseman konetchy of Boston and Chase, of Cincinnau are almost tied for first place; the Braves initial sack guardian winning the position by the scant margin Of three points in grand average. Chase has five points the better of the bat ting averages but Konetchy is eleven noints better in fielding with the net results that the Boston player Is the choice for the bag.
 Another Boston player fits in on the midway sack for Rawlings records at bat and in the field show to better advantage than either CutshaW or Brooklyn or Doyle of Chicago. Of this trio CutshaW has the best batting average but Rawlings fielding puts him to the fore with a total of 6l6 to Cutshaw's .611 and Doyle's .6O3.
 At third base Groh, of Clnclnnau, leads the field by a comfortable mar gin. He batted .304 and felded ,966 for grand average of .633 Ills nearest rival is Zimmerman, of New York, who is thirteen points below the Cincinnati player.

BOTTINEAU BOY IS MAKING

8 A recent dispatch from Bismarck
contains the following which will be
Of interest to,the people Of the county:
]. NJ. Brander, Burleigh county's
better farming agent, was born and
reared on North Dakota farm, and
is the son Of Robert Brander Of Sour
4, one of Bottineau county's first
farmers. The elder Brander moved
down from Canada into Bottineau IN
1882, and has lived there ever since,
making ! North Dakota farm pay
good dividends. The son helped
around the farm, went to school, and
absorbed enough practical agricultur-

In all his work Mr.. Louck was ac-
customed to appeal to reason and
judgment, never to passion and pre-
judice. "Our remedy" he used to say
"lies not in abusing the railroad, ele-
=. ;;...tor, manufacturing or coal monop-
~seor N.'sts or combinations. That
nlIga1ety our feelings, but not
our finance ,ong as they gather
the plums, they can laugh at the
abuse" When he set out to organize
the Peoples party, he was assailed
bitterly by the republican and demo-
cratic press of his state. Often his
friends counseled libel suits, but he
refused.
/ was with the Aberdeen News
then and we'll remeber when Mr..
Loucks came to town to open the
Brown county campaign. The News
was the leading republican paper of
the northern part Of the state, and
its editor missed no opportunity to
attack Mr.. Loucks. It was expected
the Alliance president would get
back at the News, and the aopera-
house" was packed to suffocation.
The editor Of the News had the cour-
age Of his convictions and went along
with the rest to see what happened.
Mr.. Loucks said that before tax
ing up the principles of the new par
ty, he would first consider objections
that had been made to it. Quoting
a saying of Ignatius Donnelly, that
in all such discussion it was well to-
admit as much as one could, he said
that the first and worst objection
made was that tLoucks was a bad
man"
Nov | am going to admit that"
he added quickly. Then, after an eff
fective pause, he continued: s
"And if any of YOU doubt it, I am
prepared to prove it by the Aberdeen
News" =
The independents lifted their voices
as one man, and the old building
rocked under the force Of the explo-
sion. Without abuse, Mr.. Loucks had
fairly turned the tables on his op-
ponents, and most of them were good
enough, sports to admit it.

IOr sack ana SacKlng Wnen the bran
is sold by the sack. About $3.50 is
figured as the proper charge for this,
making the price at the mill 500 a
ton for bran in sacks, according to
DR.. Ladd's figures.
Fargo Mill Co., quotes bran at
$3.50 a ton. Shorts cost $500 more
ton, $34.50. Their prices embody
a reduction of nearly So ton from
the prices that prevailed here prior
to December 26. Manager Brophy of
the Fargo Mill Co., states that no
further reduction in the prices Of
bran and shorts were likely at this
time, claiming the present quotations
are based on the governments al
lowance. Bran at $3.50 complies
with the government price regulation,
38 per cent of the cost of the wheat,
plus sack and sacking charges, Mr..
Brophy claimed.
"The cost of feed, bran and shorts
will be one of the principal things to
be considered at the meeting Of fed
eral administrators in Washington
next week." Prof. r. O. Baird of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
stated before he left for Washington.
Professor Baird and Lorne Wilde
will represent DR.. Ladd at this meet
ing.
eve shall endeavor to bring before
the national food administration the
prices now being charged for bran,
shorts and other feeds in North Da-
kota, with the object of getting some
action that will tend to enforce the
governments ruling regarding retail
prices," said Professor Baird. "At
the present time the government on
ly makes recommendations but there
is no machinery for putting these re-
concentrations in force.
"This situation is revealed in the
prices charged for bran and shorts
in Fargo at present. The govern
ment's ruling is that millers must sell
bran for 38 per cent Of the cost of
the wheat milled in the production of
a ton. DIR. Ladd has figured out that
with wheat at $2.05 bushel here
in Fargo, local mills should sell bulk
bran for $25.85 per ton in carload
lots. A recent ruling by the national
food administration provides that Soc
a ton may be added on less than car
or mixed orders.
"The government has given public
ity to this and as result of the
prices charged the state food admin
istrator has been swamped with COM
plants from all parts of North Da-
kota. The farmers have until just
recently been charged as high as $40
a ton for bran when it should have
been less than $50 at the present price
of wheat. The farmers feel that
they have just grievance and we
shall endeavor to put this matter be-
fore the administration at the meet
ing.
Investigation has shown US that
the retail feed dealer is not to blame
for the high prices charged. Most OF
the retailers are selling bran on a
$3.50 a ton margin. Many dealers
today have stocks of bran on hand
and Just received on which the in
voices are way about what the. retail
price should be-. ". !.
cdr. Ladd believes in government
control of the mills Of the country
and we shall recommend such action
at the coming meeting. It will like
~ be found that government control
lis the only: solution to the enforce
ment OF, price regulations in this
case" y;..,ls 's%31.,f f s>z;;;

WHAT THE STATE SCHOOL
OF FORESTERY Is DOING
(Contributed.)

.4f
We visited the State School of For
estry and Agriculture yesterday. We
knew in general the function and ac-
tivities of the school, but had not been
definitely informed as to how it was
working out. We found group of
ninety-two students actively and earn
estly engaged in securing an extreme
ly practical education. We were i'm
pressed by the fact, that was very ap-
parent, that these students were at
tending school because they were anx-
ious to obtain knowledge, not because
they were being sent. The students.
average much older than those in our
high schools. "a
We found students in forestry
drawing landscape plats, planning
windbreaks and shelter belts for our
farms, arranging for ornamental
planting in parks, cemeteries and on
public grounds, studying the shrubs,
vines and trees suited to planting in
North Dakota, and the engineering
features, such that these T. students
equipped to go out as landscape gard
eners, landscape engineers and. city
foresters. Ii
4 The trade course in. Automobile
care and repair is being taken by
eleven young men. There seems to be
SO much demand that: il is likely an
evening course will also be organized.
The new metal and woodworking shop
Is how completed and affords an exx-
.cellent equipment. This automobile
work is extremely practical. The
theoretical work is accompanied by
actual repair work on autos. A Chew
rolet and q Ford are now being re-
paired while j Buick stands ready
for It's turn. The practical benefit TO
the young men taking this. course Is
Of great value; as everyone needs to
be familiar with motors in these
days.
q We found fifteen young ladies
working in the Trade Course in
Dressmaking. Here again we were
impressed with the practical value OF
the work. AS in all the trade courses,
the students put in from $3.50 in the
morning until 4:15 in the afternoon.
The Dressmaking is followed by 9
Trade Course in Millinery. MS
Our visit to the Commercial De
partment gave as an idea. Of the high
grade Of work there done. Students
were busy at bookkeeping, shorthand,
typewritting and the relative sub
iects. It pleased as to learn that all
students are required to take PEN
