BOYS and GIRLS
CLUB WORK IN THE
STATE HARD HIT
BY FLU EPIDEMIC
Achievement Days and
Fairs Cancelled When
Schools Close
az prof. w. @. Palmer of A. C.l

(By Prof. w. c. Palmer of A. CO
Boys and Girls Club work in
North Dakota has been very serious
ly interfered with this year by the
influenza epidemic. About 20 COM
munitles OF the state had planned
| county boys and girls fairs and
| achievement days and only two will
| be able to carry out their original
| plans.
| The Ward county boys and girls
| under the direction of Miss Frances
| HaVelena, cooperating with the Mi
| not Association of Commerce, had
planned to hold a three-day fair at
Minot during the meeting OF the
North Dakota Educational associa-
ton. A very complete premium list
had been provided by the Minot
business men. and this fair was to
be the climax Of series Of commu-
nifty fairs and meetings, some Of
Surrey Lone Tree. Carpio, Berthold,
Kenmare and Sawyer.
In Benson county the annual Boys
and Girls Achievement day is held
at the county agricultural school at
Maddox. 1t was planned to hold
the meeting on November 2 this
year, but the meeting was cancelled,
and II possible community meetings
will be held when the schools OF the
county get into full swing again. The
Walsh county boys and girls held
their Achievement day at the Walsh
County Agricultural and Training
school at Park River on Nov. 8, in
stead OF Oct. 10. as was previously
planned. The Boys and Girls Club
fair planned for Pembina county
which was to have been held at
Cavalier on Oct. &c has been can
celled.
Miss Clara L. Larson. county club
leader for Barnes county. had plan
ned a Boys and Girls Achievement
day program and fair at Valley City
ness men Of Valley City had planned
many surprises for the boys and
girls, among which were free mo-
vies. but this has been given up be-
cause OF the seriousness Of epidemic
in Barnes county
Two in Dickey County
Two boys and girls club fairs had
been planned for Dickey county, one
to have been held at Glendale and
the other at Cakes. County Club
Leader Mueller had secured a very
attractive premium list with the CO.
operation of the business men of the
county, and especially of these two
cities. His plans were broken, how
ever and the two fairs have been
cancelled. In the western part OF the
state the boys and girls OF Hettinger
county had planned for an Achieve
ment day at Mott. to have been held
on November q. In Stark county
they had planned for a series of
fairs to have been held throughout
the county. This was also true of
McTFepry county. where fairs were
to have been held at Towner. Up
ham. Drake. Velva and Bampry dur
inc the week of Oct. 21-26. These
have all been cancelled. .
Tie Grand Forks boys and girls
are to hold their Achievement days

from October % and November 2.

cLEMENCEAU THE REsoLUTE.
The Kansas City Star pays this
stirring tribute to the "Tiger OF
France"
In the hour Of victory stands forth
Georges Clemenceau, premier OF
France, incompatible leader!
He assumed the. direction Of the
French government at a time OF cri-
sis. The ministries of BRAND, Ribot
and Painleve had fallen in quick sue
cession. The Bolo- CaillauX machina-
tions had just been exposed. The
country was on edge. M. Clemen-
ceau was 76 years old. But he faced
the situation with the vigor Of youth
combined with the wisdom OF age.
His courage inspired France-and
not France merely. In the trying
days of the German offensive last
spring the one cheerful note in dis
patches telling OF the tremendous
iunges toward Paris and the Channel
ports was an occasional word that
Premier Clemenceau had returned
from the front and had assured dep
uties that all was well, that Foc1
had the situation in hand.
Such a report from some men would
have seemed mere bravado. But
there was such ring or sincerely
about this bold leader that 1t sound
ed across the Atlantic. People read
Fiis words in far off Kansas City took
heart again. There was an instinc-
tive feeling that under such leader
ship France was invincible.
Georges Clemenceau, resolute in
spirit, dauntless and intelligent in
action, the embodiment of the fight
ing soul of the great republic to
which, the world owes everlasting
debt!

10000 CARS A
MONTH ARE SAVED
BY SAILING DAYS

With a, view of increasing the eff
cheney Of cars and decreasing the
cost of operation, r. I'll. Ashton, re-
gional director of the northwestern
region, established a committee
known as the l.. G. l.. and Sailing
Day Plan committee. and the work
was Immediately started.
At the prestnt time practically ev-
cry principal station in the north
western region has a plan in effect
that is sailing cars to specific points
on specific days. based on the amount
of tonnage creating a full car load,
SO that instead Of cars going out
with three, four or five thousand
pounds, they are now moving on a
regular daily. semi-weekly or tri-
weekly service with full tonnage and
the saving Of cars at the present
time n the northwestern region
amounts to over 10000 per month,
which equipment, of course, is now
made available for other purposes.
The carrying out OF this plan has
reduced the large amount OF freight
handled at transfer points to scuch
an extent that it will soon be posi-
BILE to eliminate some of the transfer
stations entirely.
Claims Are Reduced
The claim departments report that
the loss and damage to merchandise
has been reduced quite materially in
that at all of the main points in the
region the freight has been consoli-
dated to one. two or more lines,
making through cars, where under
the old system it was necessary to
pass it through several transfer
points before reaching it's ultimate
stopping point. and the fewer trans-
fers the less damage necessarily re-
suits.
In working out this plan, the COM
mittee has also taken into considera-
ton the running of pickup cars on
certain days. so that freight train
today is making mileage with loads
instead Of empties.

stares many in the face. but the con-
querors viii first see that the hum
cry are fed, and then proceed to a
just and dispassIonate decision as to
what is best to be done in the prem
ises.
We know little on this side OF the
water OF the terrible effects Of the
war ON the allied countries, and be-
fore we overflow with pity for the
parties responsible for their grief
and desolation, we should place our
selves in their position and condi-
ton, and then, perhaps we could ar
rive at a righteous judgment.
Few outside the Socialists of our
country, who, experience has shown,
are really Boisheviks at heart, have
any sympathy whatever with gov
ernments formed of but one or two
of the many classes Of nation. The
history of the world reeks with such
attempts and without an exception
they have been followed by a renats-
sance of sanity and a decent respect
for the rights Of all classes, upon
which fairly progressive. but far from
perfect, governments have been
founded. Undoubtedly the perfect
form Of government has yet to be
found, but the greater nations of the
earth are constantly developing a
civilization that is opening up new
paths toward the highest type Of lib
erty; a kind of liberty entirely with
out the ken Of dreamers who can
perceive little beyond the red, and
O. false conception of what Is due
those who can be swayed by prom
ises of an unlimited power they are
totally unfit to exercise.
Taking history for our guide we
may safely count that after the
reigns of terror covering the dual
empires, Russia and other disorgan-
ICED states have exhausted them
selves. stable governments will en-
erge, Just as In France republican
ism of high order has developed,
after years Of travail upon the heels
of the most worthless autocracy the
world has known, for under royalty's
hateful shadow France was plumber
ed to poverty, without any Of the
of Germany under sim
