Our Normal school has a new
president in the person of DR.. J. E.
Stout, Of the faculty of the summer
school of the University Of Chicago,
Mr.. Stout having been elected presi-
dent of our local institution at a
meeting Of the board of regents held
in Fargo few days ago. DR.. Stout
is a product Of Iowa, being a gradu-
ate of Cornell College, and has been
connected with that school for many
gears. He took his philosophy doc
tors degree at the University of Chi
cago. We understand that the new
president will assume his duties at
the beginning of the coming school
year this fall. In this connection it
is pertinent to add that now that Mr..
Mcfarland has resigned and his sue
cessor has been elected, it is the duty
Of all the citizens of Valley City to
give the incoming president hearty
CO operation. The Normal school is
the greatest asset this city has, and
in addition to that is one of the lead
ing institutions of learning in the
northwest. We cannot afford to let
personal feelings overrule good
J0uSIueLt DuL IdtHeT 1eL common
sense prevail and all get behind the
school to push it along and help main
tain it in it's position as one of the
leading institutions in the northwest.
The Times-Record regrets exceeding
]y to see President Mcfarland step
down-so do thousands Of his friends
here and around the state-and we
al wish for him success in whatever
he elects to do. At the same time we
extend a welcome to President Elect
Stout, and wish for him success in
his capacity as head Of our local in
stitution. Valley City cannot afford
to be lukewarm in this matter. We
have this great state institution here
and it is we'll worth boosting. Let
US boost it from this on and help keep
it in the limelight as a great educa-
tional institution. DR.. Stout and his
family, if he has one, should receive
cordial welcome to our city, and
promise Of individual cooperation
from every citizen Of Valley City and
Barnes county to help make his ad-
ministration successful and the school
power for good in the state.

A survey Of the lighting and heat
ing practices of the country has
shown that change to a war stand
ard Of economy will save the country
from very disastrous fuel shortage
during the coming winter, and the
United States Fuel Administration.
therefore, has under consideration an
order designed to prohibit wasteful
practices in outdoor lighting, espec-
tally illumination during the daylight
hours. 1t is expected that the order
will be made effective within a few
days That order will be followed by
another order establishing rules for
heating and lighting public buildings,
including Office buildings, hotels and
apartment houses. The public will
be asked at the same time to reduce
lighting in homes. 1t is thought when
all of the regulations which have been
passed upon by the United States
Fuel Administration as reasonable
and necessary are in full effect and
the public has been aroused to its
share in the work of conserving fuel
the United States-as nation-will
have taken long step toward "strip-
ping for war"

A lady who is a constant reader of
the Times-Record was saying that our
news service was little too optomis-
tic and she thought the editor was
inclined to be that way in the news
service. We want to say to our
friend that the editor is not in any
way responsible for the news receiv-
ed by wire and if it reads optomistic
we are not to blame for it-but we
are mighty glad that it is that way
instead of being pessimistic. The only
thing that we stand for is our editor
ial column and the local matter and if
that is optomistic that is the way we
look at it. We would rather be an
optomist any time than one of those
pessimists who never can see the
bright side of life. There is always
silver lining to every dark cloud and
it is our nature to see that silver lin
ing. Cheer up, friends, the dawn of
victory is in sight. Let's keep the
home fires burning.

The Minneapolis Journal yesterday
contained an article on its editorial
page anent the regents action in re-
moving President Mcfarland in which
article were many things said about
the matter and credited to the editor
ial utterances of the Times-Record.
We desire to state that what was said
in the Journals article was not in
accord with our statements and we
said nothing of the kind as alleged
in that article Outside of perhaps
two or three in the school faculty Mr..
Mcfarland was much liked and highly
respected and we do not see why the
Journal should credit this paper with
saying things that it did not believe
in and will not stand for. The guy
who is responsible for the matter
contained in that column should be a
little more careful how he words his
articles. We are ready and willing
to back up anything we say but not
what we do not say.

The pool hall men of the state are
showing a patriotic spirit and are
trying to reach some sort of a solu-
ton whereby the men employed in
these institutions can be Of service
to the country and released for work
in the harvest fields. These men re-
Gently passed a resolution and sent
a copy of the same to the state coun-
Gil of defense in which the association
offers to close up their places of bus
mess for two months each fall during
the harvest and threshing season for
the duration of the war. The pool
room men ask that the landlords
stand half the rent during that per-
iod. This seems to be fair and shows
that these pool room men realize the
necessity of doing something to help
out the shortage Of men in the state.
There are about fifteen hundred en-
ployed in this business in North Da-
kota at the present time. The Times
Record appreciates the action of these
men who are showing a willingness
to do their bit in this way.

Period Styles

Often one hears persons who know
little or nothing OF period styles boast
Ing of the fact and insisting that such
things are of no consequence to them,
since all that they want is "a cosy,
comfortable, homelike ROOM" But let
them set out to accomplish this end
BY buying in haphazard manner
whatever things happen to take their
eye or please their fancy and it will
not be long before they have learned
that it is no more possible to make
harmonious room without studying
more than mere coler harmonies than
1t is possible to make an enjoyable
weekend party without inviting natu-
nly congenial guests

day visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. E.
Gordon. They left for Fargo where
they go to show some of the wielders
of the "mashie" how to do things in
that line and from there to Chicago
to buy goods for their stores. Blythe

business men in the western part of
the state and one of the greatest of
advertisers-that is why he is enjoy
ing large and profitable business
he says it pays to advertise and to
advertise often and we'll. He is one
of the wise guys in the business and
a pronounced success-in other words
he is live wire in business.

The Fargo Courier-News is show
ing mighty poor spirit by the way
it is nagging and harping away at
the editors of the state who did not
support the Frazier ticket. If the C.
N would cut out it's political riff raft
and everlasting lampooning of those
who did not agree with it now that
the fight has been settled for month
past it would have better standing
in the state. There is nothing gained
by this vain-glorious braggadosia and
the people would much rather read
some real editorial matter than the
slush we get in that paper from day

DAIRY REGULATIONS
For the Handlers and Shippers of
Cream

AS war measure, for the conser-
walton of man power, to prevent I'M
necessary shipment over railroads al
ready congested, to enable the best
possible utilization of all dairy pro-
ducts, and to insure good and per-
manent market for the milk and
cream for the dairy men of the state,
it is deemed essential that all I'M
necessary buying agencies for cream
be abolished and that all of this
creamery work be concentrated and
brought under inspection and regu-
lation. The regulations below adopt
ed by the Council of Defense and the
Dairy Commissioner are approved by
the Federal Administrator for North
Dakota and the Food Commissioner of
the state and are presented herewith
for the information of the general
public and all interested parties who
will be given an opportunity to pre-
sent any facts or information that
they desire to have placed before the
administrator prior to enforcing these
regulations which shall become effec-
tive unless otherwise modified, from
and after August /, 1918.

Resolutions Relating to Dairy Sit

The North Dakota Council of De-
Tense realizing that great and need

power and food results from present
methods Of handling and shipping
dairy products in the bulky, highly
perishable raw state, do hereby SUBJ
nit the following resolutions to the
Federal Food Administrator of this
state for his consideration:
Whereas, There now occurs in this
state, and in other states as a result
of cream shipments originating in this
state, an actual loss and waste of hu-
man food in the form of cream and
butterfat, occasioned by fermentation
and mechanical loss due to excessive
and unnecessary length and delay in
shipment of cream, and
Whereas, Large amounts of valu-
able food for live stock, with the ac-
companying fertilizing value, are
wholly lost to the state, or lost, vast
ed, or unevenly distributed from, or
among, communities Of this state as
a result of shipping cream for man.
ufacture into butter excessive and un-
necessary distances within or out of
this state, and
Whereas, 1t is the patriotic duty of
all parties producing, handling or
manufacturing dairy products to pro-
tect and conserve food stuffs, and
Whereas, the present method of
long and unnecessary shipment of
bulky and highly perishable food pro-
duct is not in accord with the require
ments of our national government as
regards shipping space and shipping
facilities.
Therefore, Be it resolved, that this
body, the North Dakota State Council
of Defense, request the Federal Food
Administrator of the state to issue
statement advising the public of the
aforesaid wastes and losses and rec
ommending that all cream intended
for local manufacture or shipment be
delivered at the local creamery or
shipping point in a fresh unferment-
ed condition, and that same be pro-
tected from unnecessary deterioration
and delay in manufacture for ship
ment and that where shipment is nee
essary such shipment be made so far
as possible and practical to the near
est manufacturing plant.

INJECT QUININE
IN VEIN TO KEEP
PNEUMONIA AWAY

New York, Dec. z1.@Devefopment
of influenza into pneumonia can be
prevented by the injection of quinine
into the veins, according to an open
letter appearing in today's issue of
the Medical Record. The letter is
signed by Waters M. Burrows. M. D..
and Assistant Surgeon Elliot c. Bur-
rows, U. S. n. r. F.
Judgment on the efficacy of this
treatment was reserved by members
of the medical profession until the re-
suits of it's more extensive use are
determined.
One patient, according to the letter,
who had temperature of 104, pulse
of 80 to los, and all other symptoms
of influenza at the time of an injec-
ton of 22k grains of quinine, re-
sponded to the treatment within twelve
hours.
1t is not suggested in the letter that
influenza can be cured by the injec-
ton of Quinine but that if the disease
has not been controlled naturally ir
the first three, four or five days, qui-
nine should be injected before resis-
tance is lowered or pneumonia is
extensive.

10000 Join R. c.
That Was Shawnee County
Total Up to O'clock.
Girls Have Been Busy ON
Streets All Day.

1t was officially reported from cam
paign headquarters for the 1918 Red
Cross Christmas roll call, that twenty
thousand members had been reported
up to o'clock this Afternoon. It was
estimated that this figure would be
increased to a point equal to the 22,-
o'clock this evening.
The campaign of the military police
of the Red Cross is a proven success.
In one hour and a half of active work
on the streets this morning the corps
added seventy-five names to the roll
of the great society Of mercy, and at
noon turned the cash over to the head
quarters staff at the Cham Der of Com
merce.
Like Army Police.
The Red Cross M. P.'s are formed
from a special corps of girls mobil-
lied by the publicity committee of the
1918 Red Cross Christmas roll call
campaign to mop up the stragglers
after the assaults of the mems and
women's teams. The M. P.'s have
more than proven their worth and as
a regard for duty well done they will
be given some small remembrance of
the occasion in the near future.
The girls who reported for work in
the campaign of the Red Cross NJ. p. s
today were. Miss Fayeben Williams,
chairman of the NJ. P. squad; Miss
Mary Clark. and Miss Ernestine Biby,
captains; Misses Dorothy Crane, Ellis
abeth Edison, Nan Weightman, Marion
Williams, Orpha Baughman. Nancy
Boone. Margaret Whittemore, Betty
Frost. Pima Edwards. and Louise
Clark, workers.
This corps of girls, split into teams
of two and stationed at the street cor
ners acted the real part of an NJ. P.
The only difference between the two
was that the army NJ. P.'s usual hail
is Better button your blouse" and
| the Cross NJ. P.'s hail and admonition
is show your button or get one."
Reports Are Heavy.
At great headquarters for the
Christmas roll call drive Of the Red
Cross at the Chamber of Commerce
| today. both officials and clerks were
| up to their ears in a mass of incom-
ing reports. No definite figures could
be obtained on the campaign returns
| today. but D. W. Mulvane. chairman
| of the county drive. asserted this noon
that he expects the membership this
year to exceed the membership last
year by about 10 per cent. The men,
| bership enrolled in the Red Cross in
| the 1917 Christmas membership drive
was 22.4O0. and it is thought that the
| drive this year will show a total en-
rollment of about $4,000 members.
1t was announced at headquarters
| this noon that the booths in the stores,
banks. and depots will continue to
| operate all day Monday and possibly
| Tuesday. Hundreds Of membership
| dollars have come into the Red Cross
Golfers thru the booths. and it is the
thought of the committee that during
the last two days of the Christmas
rush that many another membership Z
will come in thru the same source.

Who PAID BILLS?
Berlin Is Wondering If Russia
Sent Money for Revolt.
Huge Sums Available for Work
of the ReYOlutiOnists.

Berlin. Dec. 81 (via Copenhagen).-
The question of whether the-German
revolution was financed from Russia
is agitatfng political circles the i'm
putation being that the independent
socialists received large sums from
Russian sources. Contributing to this
discussion some of the socialist news
papers have printed what purported
to be a wireless dispatch from Adolph
Joffe, former Bolshevik representa-
tive in Berlin, to Richard Barth and
Hugo Haase of the German ultra
radical faction, to the effect that
while Joffe has not paid the German
interests anything directly, they were
all aware whence the money had
come.
Joffe further declared that Oscar
Cohen. German under-secretary of
justice had control of 10000, 900
rubles for the furtherance of the
German revolution and that alto
gether 24,00O,000 marks had been
placed at the disposal of the German
revolutionists by Russia.
The Independent socialist news
paper Freiheit says that party decided
months before the revolution not to
accept money from Russia and ener-
getically resents Joffe's imputations.
Hugo Haase denies the Bolshevik en-
issary's allegations outright but Herr
Barth up to this time has had nothing
to say regarding the matter

PRAISE FOR 18th
General Winn Writes Governor
of Its Great Showing.
Was in the Fighting Up to the
Last Minute.

Strong words of praise are given
the Kansans of the Eighty ninth di-
vision in letter which Maj. Gen.
Frank L. Winn has sent to Governor
Capper. The letter which reached the
governor this morning when he re-
turned from the conference of COVER
nors and governor-elect at Annapolis.
Nd, told of the work of the organiza-
ton of selective service men trained
at Camp Funston.
In his letter to the governor. Major
General Winn said in part:
You will be glad to know that the
Eighty-ninth division continued its
active and successful part in the oper-
ations up to the moment the armis-
tice went into effect. In fact we were
completing one of the most brilliant
achievements of the war. namely, the
crossing of the Meuse, at the time the
armistice began. Kansas and the
other great states that gave the men
to the Eighty-ninth division have
every reason to be proud of the
achievements of the division and of
the magnificent way in which the men
have responded to every call. finer
lot of men were never gotten together
in one division, in my opinion. The
division Is now moving forward, hsv-
ing been one OF those chosen for the
army of occupation, distinction
which has given US a great deal o.
satisfaction"
Several thousand Kansans are in the
famous division under Major General
Winn-s command. The organization
was trained under direction of Gen
Leonard A. Wood and went to France
under command OF Major Genera
sWluns ------.

Two Monster Machines Landed
in Topeka Today.
Marking Mail Route To Be
Established in State.
Topeka WILL Be A "STATIoN"
Capital City Scheduled for Peint
on Cross Country Trip.
AyiatOrS Had No Time To Make
the City a Visit.

Two army airplanes. pioneers of a
proposed transcontinental air mail
lane, landed in a field about four miles
west of Kansas avenue shortly after
ten o'clock this morning. The planes
were manned by LieutenantS Yarbor-
ough and Starr, and Sergeants Simms
and johnson.
The planes left independence short
ly before o'clock this morning and
landed in Topeka just one hour and
fifteen minutes later. The ships were
in charge of Lieutenant Marlborough.
1t was expected that the planes would
arrive in Topeka sometime Tuesday
afternoon but on account of engine
trouble they were delayed at Marshall,
Missouri, and at Independence. 1t
was expected that three planes would
land here today but Lieutenant Var
borough stated that he had no knowl-
edge of where the one piloted by
Civilian Instructor La Grone was.
Next Stop MarysvilIe.
The planes were Curtiss training
planes of the type known as ]. N. 4-D.
These particular planes were manu-
factured in st. louis and have been in
use at the flying field near that city.
The planes left Topeka after a short
stop for gasoline. According to Lieu
tenant Marlborough the next stop was
to be Marysville where the airmen
would get dinner, From Marysville
the planes were to go to Smith Center
where they were to spend the night.
Thence on to Colby, the western ter
minal of the trip and then back to St.
Louis via Garden City. Dodge City,
Wichita, Fort Scott, and Kansas City.
Topeka u Stop.
The planes which landed in Topeka
today were the pioneers and survey
ors for the proposed transcontinental
air line mail route. Between Kansas
City and Denver, according to unof-
fetal reports from what seem to be
official sources, Topeka is to be the
only scheduled stop.
No special beforehand preparations
had been made to give the airmen u
reception in keeping with the impor-
tance of their mission. But as soon
as word was received in Topeka to-
day that the planes were in a hurried
call went out from the Chamber of
Commerce, a party was arranged and
the aviators were invited to partake
of the city's hospitality. On account
of the press of time and the fact that
they were already three days behind
their schedule, the aviators were
forced to decline the invitation. They
took the air on the trip to ST. Marys
as soCn as gasoline could be brought
out to them from Topeka
