The North Dakota state legsla
ture opened up its session yesterday
at Bismarck which is designated by
ardent league supporters as an epoch
making body. Governor Frazier de-
livered his message to the Joint ses-
sion and outlined the plans of the lea
que. He said that among the impor-
tant legislation to be passed this SEES
sion will be the establishment as early
as possible of state owned terminal
elevators and flour mills, the creation
of state central farm and commerce.
al bank, the taking Of steps to give
state control Of the Ignite coal in
dustry, establishment Of compulsory
state hail insurance and Workmen's
compensation. New revenue leglsla-
ton was also advised. This session
of the legislature will probably be the
most important of any held in the state
as many bills relating to state owner
ship will be introduced and passed so
different from the work of any pre-
vious legislature.

Retiring Superintendent Of Public
instruction N. C. Macdonald on Mon
day refused to turn over his office to
Miss Minnie J. Nelson, his successor,
on the ground of lack of educational
tional qualification was threshed out
in the primaries and during the cleo
ton and it was proved beyond
doubt that Miss Nelson had all the
necessary qualifications for the office.
We had an idea that the election set
tied the matter. The people of the
state by big majority repudiated Mr..
Macdonald and if he had the least bit
of sense he would have accepted the
verdict Of the people and quietly and
courteously retired from the Office in
a decent manner. His action has
aroused much Indignation all over
the state and has lost for Mr.. Mac
donald the friendship of many who
heretofore were friendly to him. The
Times-Record thinks his action the
greatest mistake of his life and one
that will certainly put him out of the
running for any further political pref
erence where the people have the right
to vote on his candidacy. The people
are the ones to Judge of persons fit
ness and qualification for office and
they most emphatically endorsed our
home candidate at the polls. Her ex-
perience, together with the necessary
qualifications for holding the Office,
eminently fit her for the position and
the people of the state need have no
fears but what she will give them good
and efficient service. In this connec-
ton the Times Record is not going to
put the blame on the nonpartisan
league as political coup not by any
means. 1t may be that there are
some high up league officials back of
Macdonald, but we are perfectly sure
that the majority of the league men,
bers and many of them officials at
that, are absolutely against any such
raw deal as that Mr.. Macdonald has
tried to pull off. These league men,
bers are for a square deal and many
of them supported Miss Nelson in the
election. If such raw stunt like that
was allowed to be pulled off there
would be a great wave of indignation
sweep over the state not only by Miss
Nelson's friends but by league men,
bers as we'll. Mr.. Macdonald better
remember the old Scotch saying.
"Oh would to God the giftie gle us,
To see ourselves as others see u.s."

The Commercial Club is trying to
get out people interested in the work
of identifying the city by putting in
curbs and cutters in front Of lots not
now possessing the same. The club,
through Secretary Moe, has sent out
letters and cards to resident and non
resident lot owners asking them to
signify their intention of putting in
these improvements with a view to
making Valley City more attractive
as we'll as making it easier to keep
the streets up and draining them. OF
course we know that our people have
been solicited often and heavy for the
Red Cross and government bond
drives, and probably feel that they
are about all in but they always have
a little left for public improvements
and so many of them will perhaps sig
nifty their intention of putting in these
improvements. The work to be done
in the way Of public improvements
will also furnish means for giving
some of the returned soldiers jobs until
they can set something better to do.
Think these matters over and if you
think you can stand a little for per-
manent improvement, sign the card
sent and be prepared to help beautify
the city.

FICTION IN DEMAND

Unhappy endings have been known to

In the assortment of fiction and
stories of personal war experiences,
carried by the librarian on the same
ward visit, were a dictionary, a higher
algebra and trigonometry, plain and
solid geometry and a book on me-
chanics, each of them going in res
ponse to a special request to the &C.
cupant of some bed. An Italian in one
of the wards eyed the collection and
drew out the trigonometry.

WROTE MESSAGES WITH DYE
Material for Invisible Writing Used by
German Spy Was Obtained From
Silk Hosiery.

A cleverly designed method of out
whiting the government officials and
furnishing information to the enemy
was revealed in the early days Of the
war by the arrest Of a man in Pater-
son, N. j., by naval intelligence Off
GERS.
The man, held as an alleged spy in
a Jail in Brooklyn, Is said to have
come from Holland and to have been
employed in a silk dyeing establish
ment in Paterson. His unique method
OF sending messages to Germany
called for the use Of silk hosiery Of a
peculiar dye. 1t is said that he had
received dozen pairs of these socks
from German agents in Holland and
that his method was to soak them in
water and use the coloring matter
which they gave forth as a writing
fluid. AS this dried it became invisible
until brought out by special process,
which, however, the federal agents are
said to have worked out.
They, in turn, in learning the secret,
opened his letters and changed the
contents and forwarded the letters.
The information thus received by the
Germans proved of little use to them.
But for long time, it is said, there
was not enough evidence on which to
convict this man, until one day
through carelessness he left one of
the socks where naval intelligence
officer found it When confronted with
this the man is said to have confessed
to the entire prOiect.
