GOVERNMENT POWDER PLANTS
PLANNED IN JANUARY
: J. NOW IN OPERATION

Operation has begun in two Govern
ment powder plants two months ahead
of schedule. When the task of build
ing the plants was considered by the
War Department in January it was
predicted that the production of
powder might begin in August, barring
unforeseen delays. r.
The $120,OOO,OOO allotted for the
plants is expected to give the Govern
ment a, smokeless powder production
capacity equal to all other American
plants combined. In construction of
the plants it was found necessary to
build new town on each site to house
the employees, and approximately g.
900 buildings were erected. Streets
were. put down and severed, power
plants constructed, and stores and hos
pitfalls built Approximately $4,000
men worked on construction and about
10000. will eventually be engaged in
the actual production of powder. 49,,

Some Social Doings in Foldahl.

A pleasant surprise was given last
Friday evening to. the newly married
couple, Theodore Lofgren and wife, at
their home in section two, by a large
number of friends, who arrived in
thirty automobiles. The newlyweds
were presented with a dining room
table, and chairs and some money, the
presentation being made by Ole J.
Westman. Refreshments were served
and good time enjoyed by all. Mrs.
Melin, the mother of the bride, gave a
well attended reception to the happy
couple on Thursday evening".
On Saturday night last large num-
Der of neighbors and friends surprised
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Svean on the oc-
casion of their silver wedding. The
affair was also in the nature of a house
warming, the family having just moved
into their fine new home. It was also
farewell to son Carl, who was one of
the Marshall county boys who left for
Camp Grant on Monday. Rev. Gilseth,
Of Newfolden, spoke appropriate words
for the occasion.

The Small College,

However much the State may pro-
vide large and we'll equipped establish
ments for higher education, there will
always be place for the smaller col
lege supported by private contributions.
At the time State universities and high
schools had a new birth, thirty or
forty years ago, many of the smaller
colleges were languishing for lack of
support. 1t seemed then that the end
Of the local college was at hand. But
today this class of schools is, better
supported and better appreciated than
ever before.
Even if the influence of these schools
was merely local, their work would
justify their being. The town that has
grown UP about a college, each grow
ing with equal pace, the town in which
the college has been both municipal
child and municipal mentor, takes on
high moral and intellectual character
such as can come to it in almost no
other way. "a college town. expresses
a type of municipal character well I'M
derstood among us and always respect
fully understood.
Higher education will always be had
by those who are untiringly determined
to get it. But more will get it, if the
hindrances to its acquisition are fewer.
Consequently there are usually more
college graduates in and about college
town than though the college were a
little farther removed. A citizen of a
Minnesota college town, speaking re-
Gently of the effect Of the college on the
town, said: my parents came to this
town from Norway in 1880 and raised
a family Of eleven children-and all Of
us were graduated from the college"
In this case the proximity of the col
lege and the fact that the family were
members Of the religious denomination
supporting the college, probably ac-
counted for the higher education of at
least a portion Of the family. And the
chances that the immediate descend
ants of these children will receive a
higher education are heightened, be-
cause the school was close to their par
ents' door.
Not only does the college educate the
children who happen to be born near it.
1t draws to the town and vicinity as
permanent residents, people whose
chief ambition is a higher education
for their children, and whose choice is
to live, in a community that favors
higher morals and higher education.

ton Of a population of choice quality.
There is much to be said in favor of
the college whose student population is
not too large to shut out personal touch
with the choice spirits among the
faculty. The small college. well sup
