SCHOOL DIRECTORS MEETING

A large number of the School Di--
rectors Of the County were in session
Monday and Tuesday Of this week.
Mr.. Robert Brander of Souris was
elected chairman Of the meeting and
Mrs. Geo. Hawker Of Westhope was
elected Secretary of the Association
for the coming year.
Mrs. Tatem, Rural School Inspector,
was present and gave valuable help
by her presence and willingness to
answer all questions asked her.
Supt. A. G. Berg Of McHenry CounA
ty gave very able address on "The
Teacher and the School Board" He
dealt chiefly with the problem of get
ting good teachersas qualified az pos
sible for the schools they were to
teach. He emphasized the fact strong
ly not to hire teachers whose quail
fications are not known. His slogan OF
"Hiring Home Teachers" was well re-
ceived by all in attendance.
Tuesday forenoon Prof. Shuler of
the Forestry Normal gave a very in
teresting, talk on the rainfall situation
and showed the reasons why rain
would fall in certain areas and not
in other places. He explained during
the address that the different cur
rents of air meeting caused the rain
to fall in certain localities and not in
others. He did not think that the rain
fall could be determined by any hu-
man being.
"The Round Table" of questions
conducted by Mrs. Tatem brought out
very interesting facts concerning the
different problems that are concerned
with the rural teacher from time TO
time. @
The night school was strongly
championed by Mrs. Tatem as one OF
the means by which illiteracy could be
stamped out in the year to come. OPP
ening schools later in September was
DISCUSSED at great length by those in
attendance, as the only safe and just
way in which to give the country boy
and girl fair chance to compete with
the town children and by starting
school later it was thought that the
majority Of country children could
then start school and have a better
chance Of graduating with the town
boy and girl.
AS a whole this meeting was one
Of the best Of it's kind held in the
county and much credit is due Co.
supt. Annie Burr for its success.

EQUITY GROWING BY
LEAPS AND BOUNDS

) st. Paul-Four years ago the Equi-
ty Exchange started the cooperative
handling of live stock at the South
st. Paul market, with the idea Of elm
mating the speculator in the selling
Of feeder and stocker cattle, and saw
ing the spectators spread for the
farmer. Also with the idea of'getting
more farmers control Of the selling
of farm products on the terminal
markets.
AS the live stock exchange was a
closed market organization it was nec-
essary for the farmers company to
operate independently in the market
and this aroused the opposition Of the
combined forces Of the live stock ex-
change.
However, against this organized op-
position, the cooperative method has
proved to be successful to such an ex-
tent that last month the farmers COM
pany handled tMenty-seven more cars
of livestock than any other commits
sion firm in South st. Paul. Further
than this, with "a commission firms
in the market, the Equity Cooperative
Exchange in one week handled more
cars of stock than II of the Sd firms
handled in the entire month.
In the South st. Paul market at
present there are "a commission firms
and 81 speculative firms.
The 81 spectators receive no ship
ments direct but depend on buying
feeders and stockers from the 81 COM
mission firms at low price and then
reselling same to outside farmer buy
ers for all they can get. In that way,
they take the large SPECTATORS profit.
The Equity Alley at South St. Paul
or Chicago is the only place in either
market where as a rule feeders and
stockers are not sold to spectators,
but are sold direct to farmer feeder
buyers, thereby saving the spectators
profits for the farmer.
n Every live stock producer can help
in bettering his market and can help
build more of producers control by
supporting this farmers cooperative
organization with his live stock ship
ments.
The success that the farmers COM
panyshas made is due to the fact that
there are thousands Of farmers in
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin
that are anxious to buy their cattle
direct and this gives the Equity CO.
operative Exchange better outlet
than any other firm on the market
and shippers to the Equity have as a
rule been better pleased than have the
patrons of other commission firms.

MINISTER Goes
after BIG BUSINESS
FIFTH AVENUE PROFITEERS
SOUIRM WHILE DIR. SHIPMAN
DENOUNCES THEM


were blistered fore and aft in SER
mon delivered recent Sunday morn
ing by the Rev. DR.. Herbert Simpson,
rector of the Church Of the Heavenly
Host, Fifth Avenue, New York. He al
so placed the torture brand on those
who exploit labor in greed for gold.
The pastor read a~poem which ne
had prepared for the occasion, over
which he placed as title "The Profl-
teer". It caused the fashionable par
ishioners to sit in hushed awe and
gnash their teeth, for it hit many OF
them present. He especially excoriated
the "1-per-year patriots who remained
at home during the war and made
money by gaining inside information
and privileged opportunities.
eff ever there is a thought which
makes me bitter" said DR.. Shipman,
cit is against those who out of sacri-
flee and blood have coined dirty mon
ey." He likened profiteers to "greedy
human vultures" and "crawling
ghouls."
DR.. Shipman was in the overseas
service and on a recent Sunday morn
ing in his church held an Armistice
Day ceremonial. Students Of Columbia
University who had been with the Ar
my in France were present by special
invitation.
The poem read during the service
gives the pith of the sermon. 1t is
quoted herewith as follows:
You have docked your frowsy wives
with borrowed splendors,
You have hung your daughters
necks with stolen pearls;
Have you thought about the other
wives, the lenders,
Or the harlots made to decorate the
girls?
You have fashioned from the needs of
sick and dying,
From the souls of children pleading
for the right, =
Ready cash today to do your Christ
4. mas buying;
Ready cash to pay your prostitute
tonight.
You have coined your filthy gold from
blood and sorrow; =,
There are soldier graves across the
fields Of France;
Whence the dead through you upon to-
morrow
Will rise to damn your profits with
glance.
All the deathless deeds worth doing
and worth telling,
All the things that noble men hold
high and true,
All but seemed to you for buying and
for selling,
All to serve greedy human vul-
ture-you.
God! That better men shold toll and
1. sweat and labor,
3 Bear the cross and climb up calvar-
les Of pain;
While the crawling ghouls that spare
not friend or neighbor
n Damn the world to make a crucible
for gain.
II IN blackest hell, O Lord, there be
II beneath the deepest pit, deeper
pit;
! Not e ter harlot' thief q coward slack
But for these, that blackest, deep
est hell is fit.

W. D. VANDERLIP'S PRIZE
ALASKA'S HALF-SISTER

The land in northeastern Siberia
leased from the Bolsheviki for de-
velopment purposes by Washington
d. Eanderlip of Los Angeles. repre-
senting an American syndicate, is de
scribed in a bulletin of the National
Geographic Society, issued today as
"a sort of a half-sister to Alaska" 1t
comprises the kamchatka Peninsula
and neighboring country, and is vir-
tually untouched by modern develop
ment. The bulletin says:
THE kamchatkan Peninsula and
the Siberian country between 1t and
the Artic Ocean is asort of half-sister
TO Alaska Kamchatka and the coun-
try north to Behring Strait contains
a large area of tundra or arctic
plains-soft. spongy morasses during
the few months of summer, frozen
snow covered wastes in winter. In
winter teams of dogs and reindeer
whisk laden sledges over trails that
are beaten down by the teams Of the
natives taking their furs--the chief
resources of the country-to the

.DEBSNOT4NCLUDED
IN WILSON PARD0NS'
Rumor Says President May Re.
lease All Political Prisoners
Except Socialist Chief.

President Wilson Is considering an
unusually large number Of pardon
petitions this year and il is expected
that his acts of clemency this Thanks
giving will number more than during
any year OF his Administration.
Applications for the pardons or
commutation OF sentences OF So
called political prisoners have served
to swell the normal number OF petit
tions.
According to well-grounded infor-
nation, President Wilson Is about
ready to pardon all the political pris-
oners with the exception or one"
who Is understood to be Eugene V.
Debs, the Socialist leader, serving a
ten-year term in the Atlanta peniten-
tiary.
Strong pressure is being brought TO
bear in the interest OF Debs, however.
by well organized associations
throughout the country. Pleas toT
the release of many military prisoners
also are before the President.
The Department Of Justice and The
War Department heads usually make
the recomm andations and the CHER
Executive acts accordingly, but the
President is taking personal interest
in a large number of cases.

A CURE FOR BOREDOM

When army aviators at Langley

These flyers who have been over
Washington several times during

The planes are equipped with
radio telephone outnts, through
which they are kept in continual

The flyer reports his altitude to
the battery commander and the bat
