Accommodation

Editor Times Record:
Dear Sir: Having heard several
prominent people discussing the new ne
found their views not altogether un.
reasonable when they remarked that
they failed to see why the present
high school building could not have
an addition very successfully built on
at much less expense, and that taxes
were already high enough, in fact
were quite hardship for some, and
with an added expense of $91 900 (the
estimated cost Of the new building)
they would still be higher.
The writer and those discussing the
matter, do not wish to hinder educa-
ton in any way, but with building ma
make this suggestion through your
valuable paper?
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM HERZBERG.

A new FARM
PROFESSION
Secretary Treasurer

Washington, Feb. 17.-Labor is the
great problem on the farm at the pres
ent time. War conditions and abnor-
NAL wages in the various lines of in
dustry have demoralized farm help
to such an extent that it is exceeding
ly difficult to get assistance requisite
to carry on operations.
In this state Of chaos, the Federal
Board for Vocational Education has
hit upon what seems to be solution,
and has created a brand new profess
sion-that of farm mechanic" and
it is figured that any farm of more
than. 100 cultivated acres can very
we'll afford to have man of this sort.
The men being qualified for this
work are disabled soldiers who be-
fore injury were farm boys. With
this background of agricultural
knowledge these men are being taught
to operate modern tractors which do
the work of many teams and men.
They are being taught operation, care
and up-keep of motor trucks and other
gas engines. They are being given
general course in looking after all ma
chinery used on modern farms, and
luUlCdClO1S arc -G1ldC tAAC SNPPaJ -
these specially trained men will not
begin to equal the demand. Farm
hands who before the war, could not
hope to make more than $25 or $50
a month as laborers can by becoming
proficient as farm mechanics, qualify
for positions paying from $1OO to
$125 per month with steady employ
ment the year around.
It is an exceedingly interesting de-
velopment of our national rural life
brought about by forces of necessity,
and is but another illustration of the
we'll known fact that the emergency
is usually met in one form or another.
Farm boys who have been discharg-
ed and are disabled as result of their
services either by sickness, accident,
or disease would do we'll to write to
the Federal Board for Vocational Ed
ucation, Washington, D. c., and obtain
the particulars Of this training which
the government provides free for its
disabled men.

Our Losses and Those of the BIRTHS

Our Losses and Those of the British.
Out of every 1000 combatant troops
in the American forces on the west
ern front between June and Novem-
Der, 1918, no less than 500 were killed
in battle. The British suffered a
slightly lower rate of losses. Out of
every 1000 Of their men 48.8 were
killed. The statistics branch of the
general staff made public these figures
this week. From June to November,
1918, the British had 58,495 killed on
the western front, while in the same
period the Americans had 1859 killed
on that 'front.'. The highest rate OF
battle deaths per 1000 troops among
the Americans was in October when
1894 men were lost, or 1913 per 1000
This was also the highest mark of the
six months for the British, for they
lost 1856 combatants in the month
or 1873 per 1000.

Justice for Farmers Secured.

Northwestern wheat growers will
receive upwards of $25,000,000. .addi-
tional money for their 1919 crop as
direct result Of showing made to
the United States wheat corporation
by seven republican congressman. The
government guaranteed price for
wheat is for No. quality. Because of
the dry summer there is practically
no No. 1 wheat in the northwest this
year. It was learned that the light
weight wheat was bringing the farmer
from rs cents to AZ cents bushel less
than the government guaranteed price,
whereas, based on the quantity and
quality Of flour it will produce, it is
actually worth only to 10 cents a
bushel less than wheat that grades
No. 1. With samples of wheat and
flour and group of experts this fact
was so clearly demonstrated to the
United States grain corporation that
an order has been issued raising the
guaranteed price on the lower grades
to an extent that will bring to north
western farmers increased price, for
their product, as above stated. *

Why Spoil a Good Road?

Brother Halstead of the Brainerd
Tribune AYERS that he is in favor of
good roads and has been persistently
and consistently advocating them for
IS years. That is good record, but
why spoil it by knocking the only
practical plan anybody has proposed
to get the good roads? His lame OBJ
lection to the Babcock amendment is
that the cost of the highways is to be
met by the automobiles and his argu-
ment is that the automobile "only &C.
casionally uses these roads during
several months of the year." Drive
over any state road in Minnesota and
you will meet from 20 to so automo-
biles to one horse drawn vehicle, and
it is the automobile that destroys dirt
roads. Two thousand dollars mile
would construct roads that would
stand up for years if the automobiles
were kept off them, but when they are
subjected to motor-driven cars. and
trucks they will be filled with ruts and
holes and bumps in few days. The
state has attempted to keep them in
passable condition by caretakers, and
this is not only an expensive PROPOSE
ton, but it is impossible to maintain
the roads in good condition. AS
matter of justice and fair dealing, why
should not the automobiles and trucks
that destroy the roads be taxed. to
make better roads ?-St. Cloud Journ-
al-Press.

Animal Show Should Be Abolished,

There is an organization known as
the "Jack London club" the purpose
of which is to use it's influence against
trained animal shows. The club has
$4,000 paid members in the United
States and the membership is rapidly
growing. Jack London, the famous
author, started the club after having
made study Of the methods used to
train animals for exhibition purposes.
He found the methods, without ex-
ception, relentlessly brutal and, being
a lover of animals, he started the
club which is growing rapidly through
out the country. If reports are true,
trained animal shows are the products
of unadulterated cruelty and the club
calls on humane people who desire
as far as possible to reduce the sum
of world suffering" to discourage at
tendance at all trained animal shows.
The dog and pony show at the fair
last week had all the earmarks of the
kind of training the Jack London club
organization says is the rule.-Long
Prairie Leader.
We are pleased to note that Editor
A00 A<ao C<AA0A up ku1S Trained animal
exhibition matter and would like to
see other papers follow suit. Through
the instrumentality Of the press these
shows can eventually be prohibited
the legislatures of the various states
can be induced to act in the premises
by passing laws to that effect. Mr..
Lee declares that the "dog and pony
show at the fair had all the earmarks
of the kind of training the Jack Lon
don club organization says is the
rule"

a high ball, when it slipped from the
sphere. Doubtless, as Jack London
said, all sorts Of tortures and cruelties
are practiced in order to train these
poor dumb brutes to the satisfaction

curiosity. But the time will come
