ELLISPORT

w. C. Cliff, who has just returned
from month IS absence on visit
to New Richmond, Wis, his old
home of twenty years ago, has not
yet ceased to express his wonder
ment about the vast difference in
the climate of Wisconsin and Va
shon Island. He left Wisconsin on
the 29th Of April, when it was yet
too cold and wet to make gardens,
and when there was not blade
of green grass to be seen. Snow
and siush were in evidence all
along the Canadian Pacific en-
route home until he reached the
Pacific slope.
Vashon Island is away ahead of
any place he saw anywhere, and
he even views the weeds in his po-
tato patch with high glee, and de-
clared that he would not exchange

Pans, $50 miles. One Of the lines
of ten-inch diameter will be used for
heavy fuel oils, and the other,
smaller pipe line of four inches, for
petroleum and motor spirit. 1t is
estimated that $500 tons of heavy
and 1000 tons of light oil and spirit
can be pumped through these lines
daily, thus helping to meet the prob
lem of the coal supply of Paris. 1t
is hoped to complete the lines in
time for next winter.

Youngsters In Bosnia Arc Used to Dis
semlnate Information, Since Print
ed Sheet 10 Unknown.


Bosnian children Of the Moham-
medan faith have perhaps the most
remarkable memories and aptitude
for languages of any children in Eu-
rope. Despite the fact that the per-
centage of illiteracy among the Dos
nian Mohammedans is very high,
the memories of the children have
become remarkably developed by the
mcmorizing Of thousands of prayers.
Some OF the children are also used
by the villages as walking newspa-
pers," The brightes, boys go to a
coffee house where a Mohammedan,
speaking in a high clear voice, trans
lates the latest news from the Ser
bian newspapers.
The boys listen attentively and
then go out on their ''paper routes"
When they enter a village on their
route the town crier beats drum
and all the men of the district gath
er about the boy. (The women usual
ly are working in the fields while
their lords drink coffee and ferment-
ed plum juice at the town cafe). The
little walking newspaper" then per-
forms his feat of memory. Word
for word he repeats what he heard
translated to him. His pay consists
of food, lodging and few kronen.

sooner or later swing it around to

St, PAUL BUSINESS
MEN ARE COMING

We are advised by the st. Paul AS
lsociation of Public and Business Al
fairs that the annual Trade Tour
which visits us on w ednesday, July
%, at 4:35 p. M, remaining over night
bids fair to have the largest delega-
ton ever sent out on any trade tour
by St. Paul wholesalers.
i The trip is over the 500 Line to Por-
tai and return via Detroit. The train
will consist Of five standard sleepers,
two dining cars, observation car, two
tourist sleepers for the band and train
employees, and two baggage cars. The
fact that the train travels at night
and also very often at meal-time
makes it necessary to include sleeping
car and dining car facilities on the
train.
The party will be accompanied by
the Minnesota State Band of twenty
five pieces which has reputation over
the entire northwest Of being very
fine concert band, and a high grade
line of entertainment is assured our
people.
The party will also have a commun-
ity singer and everybody will be given
an opportunity to do little singing.
Song sheets will be distributed to the
school children and others. There will
also be good variety of souvenirs for
distribution by representatives Of the
various houses participating in the
trip.

A GREAT EDUCA.
TlONAL meet

One Of the most remarkable educa-
tional meetings in the history Of the
state came to close in Barnes county
yesterday. For years the state au-
thorities have been promoting the
movement Of consolidation Of schools
through local meetings under the di-
rection of the several county superin-
tendents. Mani Of them lacked
knowledge Of consolidated schools so
Superintendent Minnie J. Nelson con-
ceived the idea Of meeting Of county

slider this and other problems. Friday

The Fargo Courier-News a few
days ago said that the Independent
forces of the state were grooming l.
B. Hanna for governor. This was Sc
ridiculous that no one paid any at.
tention to it but Mr.. Hanna himself
who came out strongly denying the
rumor and saying that if it were SC
re would not consider the proposition
for a minute. 1t was just another
wild statement of the C. N. Now the
Courier-News comes out recently and
says that Mr.. O'Connor, the demo.
cratic nominee is to be ditched for
Mr.. LANCER, which is another wild
lea born only in the brain of the
Fargo morning daily editor. We dc
no believe that any fair minded voter
in the state would stand for anything
of that kind even if some of the lead
ers of the independent forces did
think of such a thing. Mr.. LANCER
had his chance and was defeated and
so far as this paper is concerned that
is enough. Mr.. O'Connor is the regu-
larly nominated democratic candidate
for the governorship. He is abso-
lutely all right, we'll fitted for the job,
and so far as we are concerned we
want to see him elected in November.
The democrats have kept faith with
the independent republicans by voting
largely the republican ticket in the
primary election. It is up to US to
keep faith with the democrats and not
favoring the nominee of the nonpar-
tisan league for governor under pres
ent conditions. the Times-Record is
strong for j. F. T. O'Connor. If we
are to go down to defeat in November
land we are not admitting any such
defeat-we would rather go down I'M
der the banner of Mr.. O'Connor than
under the banner of a tool and rubber
stamp. Let US be fair with the demo-
Gratis of North Dakota.

Valley City by the lop-sided sum of
16 to 2. Engel and Kaplan were the
heavy workers for Valley City but in
the seventh Conroy was taken from
his position at shortstop and substi-
tuted for Engel, as the management
thought it not necessary to have a
pitcher that could twist it around the

PAGEANT PLEASE
LARGE AUDIENCE

Several hundred people including
citizens, the county perintendents
Of the state, students, and faculty as
sembled in the State Normal school
auditorium Thursday evening to hear
and see The Light" an educational
pageant of recent authorship. 1t was

The vision" ably given by Ella
May Boyd as Education" and William
Nikolaus as "Any City" opened q SER
les of appearances by these two char
acters which marked the stages in the
gradual progress and development Of
the triumphs of education and the
necessity for it's greater support. The
pageant is divided into "gimmers" in
which students and members OF the
training school took a definite part
Experience, tradition, invention,
training in democracy were in turn
portrayed effectively and convinc-
ingly.
There have been many compliments
heard on every side regarding the ex-
cellent manner in which the pageant
was staged. This was the more no.
ticeable because the preparation was
entirely made since the beginning of
the summer session, a little more than
two weeks. The presentation was Civ
en- at the request of Miss Minnie J.

lie instruction, who wished to have all

state hear and see this rendition. Miss
Susan Mccoy, head Of the Language
Department, was the leader in the pre-
paration Of those who took leading
parts. She was assisted by other fac
ulty members and by the students who
willingly and gladly co-operated in
every way to make the entertainment
success. "The Light" is a new
pageant which, if properly given, car
ries the message home in way to
be long remembered. It is especially
potent at this time when there is so
great need for increased support of
wholesome education everywhere.

Holy Mackerel! Is this true? A
newspaper states that the manager
Of the new State Bank of North Da-
kota gets salary of $4,000 a
month! and that salary is paid out
of state funds. If the salary is one
tenth that amount, it's too alfred
much. If that figure as quoted is cor
rect then well may the North Dako-
ia league members wear a goat as
their emblem-they sure are goats,
blind and frowsy.-Toledo (Wash.)
Messenger.
It is absolutely true, old man. In
addition to that we have been paying
the hotel bills Of the manager at the
best hotel in the state, as well as his
room rent, which he sees to it is also
one of the best rooms in the hotel.
When it comes to spending the money
of the tax payers these league office
holders believe in doing it right. Mr..
Townley is now going around holding
"shake-down" meetings to extract
some more coin to carry on the fall
campaign. In addition to that he
argues that it is the proper policy to
boycott any town where the business
men refuse to fall for his coarse work.
That is what we have been up against
in North Dakota, what we are now
up against and what you people in
Washington are sgoing to be up
against before very long. It is like
the measles. It spreads all over and
continues until there is no more
money coming from the beguiled
farmer-then it dies out

At II o'clock today is the time des-
ignated by the railway labor board. in
vestigating the demands of nearly a
million railroad workers, to give their
decision on wage demands, and If they
deem an increase necessary, just how
much. This board has been in busy
session for some time now, but they
have promised their decision for to-
day. Consequently rail workers all
over the country are watching anx-
iously to know the result of the
boards decision. The increases de-
manded by the rail workers will total
nearly one billion dollars, but wheth.
er the board deems it fit to recommend
such increases awaits to be seen. The
big brotherhood chiefs, and other Off
GERS of the different brotherhoods and
unions are in Chicago. AS soon as the
wage increases, if any, are announced
they will go into session themelves
and decide whether results of the
boards announcement will be satisfac-
tory. If they do not come some
where near coinciding with the de.
mands of the men general strike is
liable to be called. The men have
been pressing their demands now for
some time and are getting restless
since they claim that President Wilson
has promised them an investigation
into their wages, and has urged them
to wait and see if the high cost of liv-
ing will not start on decline. In
stead, theysclaim it has gone up, and
their wage demands still stand un-
attended to. a
