Director of Vocational Training.

The state board Of education
has appointed Prof. |. Colodny
to the position of state director
of vocational training, position
created under the Smith Hughes
bill passed by the last session of
Congress. The appointment of
Prof. Colodney will meet with
general universal approval, not
only on account of his fitness and
qualifications for the place, but
it is direct slap at the regents
of the university who dismissed
him without cause from the fac
ulty of that institution. Evident
ly the state board of education
have no friends who derive their
income from renting houses to
prostitutes in the red light dis
tricts of the state, and therefore
are glad to avail themselves of
tn e services of a competent
official.

Enrolment for Shipyard Work.

The committee having in
charge the matter of accepting
enrolment for shipyard work
have opened headquarters in the
city hall, and they request all
artisans, whose trades en- ter
shipbuilding, to call and register.
1t must not be understood that
enrolling for this work is enlist
ing in the service, but the en-
rollment is made for the purpose
of giving the government inform
alton as to the number of men
available for this class of work.
and when the government has
a demand for their services they
will be offered positions which
they can accept or not as suits
their pleasure. No positions are
available at the present time, but
having your name on the govern
ment register puts you in line to
be called for work when needed.
Cards for registration are now in
the hands of the committee.

Testing the Law.

Ex-State Engineer Cobb, whose
resignation was recently accepted
by the governor, is going to carry
his fight against the state COM
mission into the courts by attack
ing the constitutionality of the
law creating the commission.
There was never any good reason
why the bill should have been
passed except to create more
offices to be filled by politicians
who wanted job, and the same
could be said about the old board
of control. Public institutions
should be in direct control of the
governor, and he should be held
directly responsible for their
proper administration. The gov
ernor creates the state commits
sion, and now indirectly through
them controls public institutions,
but when trouble comes he can
slide out from under by placing
the blame on the state commits
sion. Dividing responsibility is
always breeder of ineficiency,
and lets down the bars for ex-
travagance and graft. If we
are to have a state commission
to control public institutions
there should be a constitutional
amend ment providing for theil
electl on by the people, thereby
holding them to answer for dire.
LECTION of duty or grating by
impeachment or recall. Arizona
has too many commissions al
ready, and responsibility is toe
much divided.

Stacker Outlaws Kill Sheriff.

Early last Sunday morning
Sheriff R. F. Mcbride, of Graham
county, and two deputies, M. R.
Kempton and Kane Wootan, were
killed in the Galurie mountains
by John and Tom Powers. two
alleged draft evaders, whom thev
were attempting to arrest. Dep
uty US. Marshal Frank Haynes,
who was with the officers. was
the only one to escape, and he
hastened to town to give the
alarm. Posses were immediately
formed at Thacher, Stafford and
Globe to hunt down the murder
ers, and also another outlaw
named Tom Sisson, who is
thought to be of the gang. When
these men are captured let us
hope no strenuous efforts will be
made to- save them from vigil
ance committee. In a state that
has no capital punishment it is
up to the outraged public to visit
judgment on such Grim

Not Boosting Oil Stocks.

We are in receipt of a letter
from Prof. Chas. F. Willis, d.
rector of the State Bureau of
Mines connected with the state
university, in which he recites
that a number of oil companies
in the state are advertising that
the State Bureau of Mines has
put it's approval on investments
in their particular stocks, which
calls from Mr.. Willis the protest
that such representations are ab-
solutely untrue, and the use of
such advertising is unauthorized
and is condemned as being de-
ceptive and misleading.
Promoters who are working
their grating game of selling
worthless stock in oil and mining
companies never hesitate at mis-
leading advertising to get the
money from the susceptible suck
ers who are always looking for a
chance to buy something for
nothing, and Mr.. Willis is to be
commended for exposing some
of their crooked methods.

One would think that every
thrill, every act Of reckless dare
deviltry, had been injected in
William S. Hart photo-dramas.
However, this famous Western
character always figures in some
new and startling adventures.
For instance, in The Narrow
Trail" the initial Ince-Artcraft
picture, which will be seen at the
Opera House Sunday in matinee
and evening performance, Hart
portrays an outlaw who falls
under the influence of a beautiful
girl. He loves her with all the
desperate passion of which his
wild nature is capable, and de-
termines to reform.

Red Cross Notes.

We invite all women to come
to our workroom TO help US.
There is some kind of work each
one can do. Each one should add
their mite. Though you may not
be able to accomplish much in a
few hours work, a great deal can
be done by many hands.
A rumor seems to be going the
rounds to the effect that we are
not going to do any more knitting.
Like most other rumors this is
entirely without foundation. We
shall knit as long as we have
yarn and when the present sup
ply is exhausted we shall buy
more as our funds permit it.
Another rumor is going the
rounds. Like others of it's kind
it seems to have originated with
German sympathizers to keep
women from giving their time to
Red Cross work. When some one
tells you that you are wasting
your time by working for the
Red Cross, because all your work
is undone, tell them it is false
hood, then come in and see the
work that is all done and wrapped
ready for shipment. When you
see what we have done since
Jan. 1st, you will realize that it
does count when you give your
time to us. We need your help.
Do your bit to help our soldiers.
At the last meeting of the ex-
ecutive board the resignation of

Thou shalt not construct a sock

tinCtiOn of Initial Sail
Over Enemy Lines

To North Dakota boy, Capt. Thorn,

the first Liberty motor" over the
enemy lines. Capt. Box, recently
promoted from a lieutenancy in Uncle
Sans flying forces, in letter to his
father, Secretary Thomas Allan Box
of the state council of defense, tells
of this experience.
When the war broke out, Capt. Box
was in South Africa. following his
profession of mining engineer. He
wanted to get into the shindig, so he
paid his own way to England, and
there enlisted in the royal flying
corps. He remained with this organ
ization, advancing to lieutenancy,
until America threw her hat into the
ring, when he applied for and re-
ceived commission in the first
American flying corps. Most of his
time since has been devoted to train
ing cadet aviators. but he has done
some flying himself, and has had the
pleasure, more than once, of leaving
q souvenir for Fritz.
He has shipped his father a notable
collection of 80 war posters done by
the foremost French artists.

Having a town sitting straddle of

Cold facts and figures furnished by
Orris w. Roberts. meteorologist in
charge of the U. S. weather bureau
for North Dakota, dispell the general
fancy that the recent November, was
an exceptionally warm and altogether
unusual month for this latitude. The
mean temperature, which was 81 de-
grees for the month, was five de-
grees above normal, but it could not
compare with mean temperature OF

just tied the mean temperature for

which date back to 1874, do reveal one
November with real '.mear" temper

thirty days average was but degrees
above zero. During November the
