Information Is Correct

The price of foodstuffs sold through

Of such articles instead of enforcing
the usual zone prices.
This announcement has been made

Postmaster Frank Reed at Bismarck
has not been informed by Washington

tht this official announcement will be

morrow.
When the announcement was first
made from Washington. it was stated
that the different parcel post zones
would govern the cost of sending the
articles from Omaha to this city; but
a later ruling was made it is reported
permitting such section, regardless how
far it might be from Omaha, to charge
the rates enforced for the first zone.

PALMER R0PP0SES
PRICE FIXING BY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
United States Attorney General
Believes Penalty for Prof
iteering Better
$4,000 FINE; TWO YEARS

Washington, D. G., Aug. 2O.-Pro-
posed amendments to the food control
act which would authorize the presi-
dent to fix wholesale and retail prices
of certain commodities were strongly
opposed today by Attorney General
Palmer
Appearing before the house agricul-
tural committee to urge speedy enact
ment Of laws to help reduce the cost
of living, the attorney general declared
such executive power would be too
drastic and would provoke so much
debate in congress, as to delay pass
age Of other amendments suggested by
the department Of justice.
"An anti-profiteering law imposing a
fine of 5000 and two years imprison-
ment for violations is the best method
Of combating high living COSTS" said
Mr.. Palmer.

Jamestown College
Recognized as One
of Best in Dakota
Head of Institution Speaks
Highly of Institutions
Accomplishments

"The Jamestown college is looking
forward to its most successful season
this fall and winter" said Dr. B. H.
Kroeze, president of the college, who
was among the delegates who came
from jamestown to welcome the d.
rectors Of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce to that city upon
their arrival here last night.
DR.. Kroeze has two hobbies, the
main one being the Jamestown COL
lege, which he has so ably directed
and the other is boosting Jamestown.
Between the two, he is busy man
and during his visit here yesterday
it was with difficulty that he could be
swerved from these two topics.
"We have a wonderful college at
jamestown now," he said, thus giving
double barreled boost, "and 1t Is
being recognized by the leading edu-
cational authorities all over the coun-
try as having a very high standard Of
instruction.
Endowment Over 100000.
The rockefeller foundation in New
York, has voted $50,000 toward the
permanent endowment of the college
which brings the endowment above
100000. We hope to soon have an
endowment of 100000 and l believe
it will soon be fact.
"Our slogan Is The best for our
youth in education and we are turn
ing out some mighty fine graduates.
Our biological and chemical labora-
tories are very we'll equipped and our
engineering and physics courses are
very extensive and thorough. Our
nursing course for high school grad
yates has proven very popular. This
has been due, to large extent, to the
war.
"We now have school Of music af-
filiated with the college which is grad
uating some very accomplished stu
dents in the art of music. Both the
mems and the girls glee clubs are
popular organizations and perform
very creditably. The college band Is
also great organization"

ARE0UR
ONLY NEED NOW,
SAYS CITY DAD
Jamestown Mayor Lauds Civic
Attractiveness Here But De-
pl0res Absence of Parks

in some ways, particularly your
streets, Bismarck has better civic as
sets than Jamestown, but there is one
thing we have that seems to be sad
ly lacking and needed in Bismarck
and that is parks" said Mayor II. c.
Flint of Jamestown, who headed the
delegation from that city to welcome
the directors of the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States who were
in Bismarck last night.
Mayor Flint praised many of Bis
marck's oherished possessions, the
pretty homes, the miles of paved
streets, the general appearance Of
neatness, the cleanliness of the city,
the Country club and it's golf course
and the progressiveness Of the mer-
chants and business men here.
When asked what was the one thing
lacking to make Bismarck perfect
city, His Honor without a moments
hesitation, said: Parks. With all the
accomplishments and achievements OF
your city, can not understand how
you have overlooked having parks.
The lack of shaded places for people
to sit and gather, where band concerts
could be given, place for young peo-
pie to congregate for amusement Is
very conspicuous. However, as Bis.
marck has many things that we lack
think it presumptious on my part to
criticize your delay in establishing a
park board"
jamestown to Pave.
Mayor Flint stated that Jamestown
intended to start this fall on putting
In paved streets and paid particular
attention to the manner in which the
various types of pavement were stand
ing up under traffic here. He believed
the criticisms of his city would be in
favor of concrete surfaced streets
rather than asphalt
The city intends raising $45,0 fol
school purposes, Y52,O0O for genera
purposes and the park board will ex
pend $3. 900 out OF this years tax levy
Mayor Flint said.
There is some opposition to paw
ing in Jamestown, 1t is said. but ii
spite Of injunctions and other OBJ
stacles, the business men are going
ahead with their plans. The first
paving will be about fifteen blocks in
the business section and this will be
followed by paving in the Residential
districts as rapidly as the property
holders desire it.

SENATE RESERVE
ON FOUR POINTS
PREPAREDTODAY
Reservations Embodied in Sep
arate Resolution Not Sub
mitted to Wilson
MONROE DOCTRINE SAVED

Washington, D., G., Aug. 20-Four
reservations of the league of nations
covenant are embodied in separate
resolution prepared today by Senator
Pittman, of Nevada, a democratic
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee, for introduction in the SEN
ate.
Senator Pittman said the resolution
was in line with the suggestion made
to the foreign relations committee yes
terday by President Wilson that il
reservations are to be made they
should be embodied in a separate res
olution and not in the resolution of
ratification which might make new ne
gotiations necessary.
Senator Pittman said the reserva-
tions had not been submitted to the
president. They are similar to those
proposed by a group Of seven repub-
lican senator's and deal with the right
of withdrawal from the league, article
10, domestic questions and the Mon
roe doctrine.

Meat remains fresh and sweet for a
month or more in the airless, sunless,

STOCK PAVILION
is JAMEST0WN'S
NEWEST VENTURE
$4,000 Company Will Erect
$25, 200 Building to Stimu-
late Better Breeds

The first livestock pavilion in North
Dakota is to be erected in jamestown
this fall and will cost about $25;000,
according to Andrew Haas, secretary
of the Commercial club of that city.
Mr.. Haas is guiding the Jamestown
delegation that came to Bismarck yes
terday to welcome the directors of
the national Chamber Of Commerce
who arrived in Bismarck last night.
'"rhe members Of the Commercial
club and stock breeders in the vicin-
ity Of jamestown have formed a $780,
900 corporation to build and operate
a live stock pavilion" said Mr.. Haas
last night. The building will be To-
Gated a quarter mile out sof the city
on the rights-o1sway Of two rail.
roads, the Northern Pacific and the
Midland. This will enable shippers
al er a considerable territory to send
their stock to the pavilion without any
trouble, or extra expenses.
"The principal work of the pavilion
will be- to simulate better breeding Of
dairy and beef cattle In the state. Auc-
tions OF the best, blooded cattle and
other high grade stock will be held
frequently. It is planned to have as
many as twenty auctions annually,
but l do not believe 1t will be possible
to have this number at first.
"The organizers are about ready to
let the contract for the construction
Of the pavilion and It is planned to
have it completed before the end OF
fall. 1t will cost approximately $25,.
900 and it is intended to be large
enough to house 25O to 300 head OF
stock at one time"
Mr.. Haas was very enthusiastic
about the coming fair that is to be
held at Jamestown September %, "a
and Is. One of the features of the
fair this year, he said, was the
amount of prizes to be competed for
solely by women. Awards for needle.
work. canning, and other housewife
activities will amount to 400 in com.
parison with only $50 last year, Mr.
Haas said.
The tourist travel over the Red
Trail thru Jamestown is very heavy
Mr.. Haas said. The Sunshine high
way, which runs from the south as far
north as Canada, through Jamestown
he said was very popular. Travellers
on the Red Trail, he said. speak high,
ly of the general condition of the
roads through the various counties
When asked whether they spoke flat

of the Red Trail, Mr.. Haas was forced
to admit, "there were some complaints

service last year.
Practically all of these men have
been released and it is expected that
q large number Of them will continue
their university work this year. Many
other young men who had originally
intended attending the state institu-
tion entered the service last year or
did work that was made necessary by
the absence Of older men.
Making Up Faculty..

years work is already outlined and
the main program now is the making
up of the instructors staff for the
