MAYVILLE NORMAL
OPENED WINTER TERM
WITH MANY STUDENTS

ter term Of the Mayville normal schools
for the year 1917-18 opened, pm,
Wednesday, January 2. with q very
good enrolment. although there is a
falling of from the corresponding en-
rollment last year. This was to be
expected owing to the fact that there
-is the greatest shortage of teachers
perhaps ever experienced in any one
year In North Dakota This demand
for teachers %pursuaded many high
school graduates to enter teaching
when they would ordinarily have en-
tered a, normal. school and completed
the course before teaching. Every
day the normal school has calls for
teachers and is unable to supply the
teacher.

OF WASTE \ The
BIG QUESTION ''
North Dakota Hotel Men in
Convention Discuss How
to Go About It.

Jamestown, N. D., Jan. ia. HI
of Fargo, president OF tho
Restaurant and the Hotel Men's.{as-
ISOLATION OF North Dakota, speaking
before the North Dakota Hotelmen's
convention in session here yesterday,
declared that the problem Of the
keeper Of a public eating establish
ment is even more confusing than
that of the housewife.
/. I'VE are trying not onlyvto feed the
hungry mouths of our temporary
families, but are struggling to secure
by the act Of supplying the desires
of these mouths, enough return to
allow us to feed and clothe ourselves
and our families said Mr.. Leinl-
bacher.
"a business must be made to pay
Its running expenses and the living
expenses of it's owners. More than
that we scarcely expect to do in
time of war, but I believe it can be
done while living UP to all the le-
tqufrements put upon it by the Ineces-
stty of food conservation.
The. majority of hotelkeepers are
patriotic and entirely DESTROYS Of as
regular maintenance of meatless and
wheatless days and by the elimination
of waste. Certain phases are met,
however, which work to weaken our
resolutions. Some Of these which ]
have found in my own business and
which I have heard from other hotel
keepers in the state are, first, the
high cost of substitutes; the opposi.
ton on the part Of the chef and the
baker; the idea that meatless AMI
wheatless menus are unpopular with
the guests, and most maddening Of
all. the, unequal competition imposed
upol us by those unpatriotic eatins
houses which refuse to comply witt
the regulations.
IF there be any question as tt
whether the amount Of food saved b,
hotels and restaurants can be made
worth while, l quote the savings O.
the Gardner at Fargo for November
and December, 1917. namely, 2.20'
pounds of meat, costing $4.36 NOR,
than the preceding year,; eight bsr
rels of flour with a cost of $3.50 les
than in 1916, and 200 pounds o
sugar was saved. In addition to tn
saving already suggested for US a
hotelkeepers. there might be foun'
one excuse for those who, operate II
! small townsnand where there are n!
incineratOrs IN drastic garbage or
d%inances.1 A, great waste Is constant!
being made of garbage which coul'
be used easily for raising hogs. L
tho larger cities we are compelled t
eonsign our, garbage to the %incinera
tor. Why not raise hogs on nearb
land with hotel garbage and ~increas
the hog supply?"
