BUSINESS men BACK
STRIKING OPERATORS
Adopt Resolutions Holding That De-
mand For $40 Increase Per Month
Should Be Granted.

1Iinot, N. D., Jan. 29.-One hum
dred business men OF Minot in ses-
sion have adopted resolutions in de-
Tense OF the striking telephone girls,
holding that the demands of the
girls for an increase of $40 per
month in wages should be granted.
J. f. Mcguire, manager of the
Minot telephone exchange. declares
there Is no strike among the tele-
phone girls and that the operators
supposed to be on a strike were dis
charged from duty on the grounds
Of INSTRUMENTATION.
g. s. Wooledge states that 500 to
$35 or $3.50 per month is not suf-
ficient for a girl to live on in Minot
and suggests that If the Northern
States Power company, which oper-
ates the telephone exchange, is not
making sufficient to pay the girl oper-
ators a living wage, il is up to
the people to pay what would be
necessary to enable the company to
do so.

The retention Of the conservatory

recommendations Of the special COM
mittee, composed Of Marion l..
Burton, president Of the University
of Minnesota; Donald ]. Cowling,
president of Carleton college,; and
Frank M. Sheldon, secretary of the
Congregational Education society,
Boston, Mass; which, late in 1917,
made a canvass Of Fargo college to
determine the best manner in which
to put the institution on q solid
financial foundation.
Tie committee, in it's report, de-
clared that in view of the rigid cur
tailment already made, no further
retrenchment could be made without
lowering the educational standards;
that no economy could be effected by
disseminating the few business
courses; urged the selection of a
strong president; and that the
relationships of the college be
broadened by opening the way for
other denominations to share in its
management and its work.

l intended to tell you about the
stunt pulled the first Sunday at sea,
General Vollrath made a big hit
with the men and officers when he
took part in special Sunday services
held in the big mess room, and which
was conducted by the chaplains on
board, the first Sunday at sea. His
part was entirely impromptu and
unexpected but il showed keen acu-
men and perception, and knowledge
of that little touch needed to COM
plete the task Of cheering up every
body.
Say what you choose, everyone on
board was a trifie blue over leaving
that good old land of the Stars and
Stripes. One of the chaplains gave
rather a lengthy prayer that helped
lift the load Of indigo a trifie. An
other chaplain delivered a short but
to the point sermon. and 1t seemed
that eyes became a little brighter
and the clouds a wee bit thinner
after the gathering had sung the old
Gospel hymn, What a Friend We
Have in Jesus"
Pardon me a moment" inter

like to ask that before we go on we
sing the last verse OF America"
Our Fathers God to Thee,
Author of Liberty, To Thee we sing,
Long may our land be bright,
With Freedoms Holy light
Protect us by Thy might
Great God our King"
Fetters Embossed.
Every person in the audience
seemed to unloose the letters Of sad
ness: the whole verse seemed to
flash through each mind and each
one seemed to grasp in an instant
the full meaning Of such glorious
assembly Of harmony and words
appeal and patriotism. The rendi-
ton Of previous songs had been or
binary, but the words of the Nation
al Hymn, just the last verse, were
sung with a veritable passion OF JOY
and thanksgiving. and prayer and
1ubilation. It told each one the
true meaning of the United States
entrance into the war, and 1t charm
ed away any fear Of submarines. II
seemed, too, that the Supreme Ruler
of the nations destiny had taken
newer hold on the personal thoughts
and hopes Of each one on board.

FARMERS SEE
BRIGHT SPRING
Ward County Land in Good
Condition to Receive
Grain

Donnybrook. N. D.. Jan. 29.-It is
a reasonable expectation. and one
that is born OF experience among
farmers, that last year being a dry
year and little fertility being taken
out of the soil, that the ground
properly worked this spring should
yield an extraordinary crop.
The soil froze full Of moisture last
fall and this is said to be in an ideal
condition. There will be plenty of
moisture for starting the crops and
to keep them growing for a long
time.
Ward county farmers fear that
there will be a labor shortage be-
cause OF the large number of men
who have entered military serv-
ice.
