PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN SEPT. s
Some Confusion Has Resulted from
change of Date From Monday,
September Thirteenth

A number of persons have inquired
which date is correct September otn
or 18th, for the opening OF school.
The Normal catalog and an ad in the
papers a few weeks ago gave Septem-.
sber 18th as the date. However, at
the meeting Of the city Board OF Ed
ucation, Aug. 10th it was decided to
begin Sept. s. The work at the Nor
NAL school as well as at the high
school and ct Central school is such
that the schools dates must coincide
and SO the date for the opening Of
the Normal has been set ahead one
week and the ads now being carried
in the papers giving the date as Sept.
9th are correct.
The chief reason for the earlier
date as expressed by the Board mem
bers at the meeting is financial. The
Board contemplates the possibility
Of extending the Christmas vacation
two weeks longer than usual and thus
save several hundred dollars on fuel.
During the weather that usually pre-
walls at that season, q ton Of coal is
consumed each day at the high school
alone. The decision to close the
schools for q longer period at the Shol-
iday season, however, has not been
finally made.

MISS NELSON HAS
MADE NO CHANGE
Mass Nelson Has Managed Schools
of the State With Free Hand
During the Past Year

Another batch Of /. v. A. lies and
campaign bunk has been .disproved
by examination Of the state records
at Bismarck. These falsehoods, in
dustriously circulated by the Poison
Ivy politicians, were to the effect
that Miss Minnie Nelson, state sup
erintendent of public instruction, has
been shorn of her powers by the pres
ent state board of administration, and
further, that this body had introduced
courses Of study tending to spread
Socialism," w.. .- ,.
According to North Dakota's school
law, Miss Nelson, the state superin-
tendent, has complete charge of the
course of study in the common
schools (frst eight grades); the state
supreme court has also decided that
full responsibility rests upon the
school superintendent.
An examination of the records at
Bismarck reveals that the. county
superintendents are still using the
course of study in the common schools
formulated by N. G. Mcdonald in
1917 and that the present state sup
esintendent, Miss Nelson, has not
sent out any new courses.
Thus the Poison Ivy politicians are
tripped up in another batch Of incred-
lille faleshoods.

In the provincial elections of Nova

In the provincial elections of Nova
Scotia the farmers have elected
seven farmer members to the legis-
lature and labor elected five of it's
own men. The Liberal party polled
about half the vote and retains con-
troll Of the cabinet, but the old Con-
servative party has practically disap-
peared from the province. The farm
er-labor group thus did not achieve
the kind Of victory obtained earlier in
Ontario, but they did not expect to
because their movement in Nova
Scotia was not 50 widespread. They
are now the opposition party and
are likely t. follow Ontario's exam-
pie next time. D

THIS AFFECTS YOU

With the opening of the hunting
season, would it not be wise to re-
frain from the slaughter of one of
cur greatest friends and allies, the
prairie chicken?
From no less authorities than lead
ing enaturalists and entomologists,
we learn that prairie chicken will
devour over 5h bushels of grasshop-
pers in year; that at this season Of
the year their value is greatest, as
they are actively engaged in the de-
struction Of the pest before they lay
their countless millions of eggs, pre-
venting their increase and devastation
of the grain fields, which are the far
mers' main sources Of livelihood.
In this grasshopper crisis many
farmers feel that those who wish to
eat chicken should go to a farmer,
near whoseplace they propose to hunt,
who would willingly donate from
among his barnyard variety cockerels
that must be eaten, rather than have
the ruthless hunter destroy the beau
tiful, innocent bird that asks no more
Of the thoughtless than to be left un-
molested while they continue their
silent effort to curb the most serious
menace that has ever befallen our
fair country.
Will the good common sense of the
so-called sport prevail, or must we be
deprived of defenseless fsathered
benefactors by those who care not
for the consequences
Protect the birds that protect our
homes. What less can we do?
A FARMER.

The decision of the Chicago Fedora
tion of Labor to deposit its reserve
funds with the Bank of North Dakota
is of great significance It shows how
rapidly the bond Of close understand
ing between farmers and workers is
growing. The Chicago unions have a
surplus Of we'll over $1,0O0,000 and
such sum will be handy for North
Dakota farmers during crop-moving
time. On the other hand, the funds
deposited there will probably be less
subject to injunctions and court or
ders instigated by labor prosecutors
than they are in private banks in n
linois.
We shall hear much Of similar ac-
tions in the near future. Both labor
and the farmers have. come to realize
the Importance Of not feeding the
beast that bites them any more than
can be helped.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF
THRESHfNG OUTFITS

The following was received by wire
too late for publication in our issue
Of last week: -.
"At the time the Workmen's Com
pensatio1 Bureau made the ruling
that all threshermen except farmers
threshing their own grain must come
under the Workmen's Compensation
Fund and pay premiums for all work
men employed by them, the Bureau
was in some doubt as to. whether the
service of men employed on threshing
rigs was not agricultural service"
and therefore the Bureau referred the
matter to it's attorneys for an opinion
which has been received today-Aug.
18. The attorneys report that after
an exhaustive investigation on COM
pensation legislation in general and
an investigation Of the legislative
history Of the law in this state, they
have arrived at the conclusion that It
was not the intention of the legisla-
ture to include threshing under the
compulsory features of the law. That
it was the intention Of the Legislature
that men employd on tlreshing rigs
be considered in agricultural ser
vice." and finally that men employed
in threshing would undoubtedly be
held by the courts to be employed in
agricultural service;" therefore in
surance for that class of work is not
compulsory under the law.
This is to notify you that the ruling
Of the Bureau has been modified SO
that insurance in the Workmen's
Compensation Fund Of persons en-
ployed by threshehmen on and around
threshing rigs is. optional and not
compulsory. Therefore, If you Have
already paid your premium and do not
desire your employees to be protected
and insured, you should Immediately
make application to the Bureau at
Bismarck for the refund of your pre-
MUM. It will be promptly refunded
to you upon receipt Of your applica-
tion for refund. IF you wish your
employees to be protected and insured
against injury and have already paid
your premium, do not apply for the
refund. If you want your employees
protected and insured and have not
yet made application, make your ap-
plication and remit your premium
Immediately. The modified ruling Of
the Workmen's Compensation Board
is that insurance Of employees on and
around threshing rigs is optional and
not compulsory.

GAME COMMISSIONER SPEAKS

The following letter explains itself,
regarding very important matter:
"To the Editor of the Farmers Ad-
vocate, Bottineau, N. D.
"In recent issue of your paper ap-
peared the following item:
1--WE learn that the recent visit
of the state game and fish board
to Bottineau was for the purpose
of discontinuing the operation of
the state game farm north of
Bottineau, also that the fish hat
cherry at st. John is to be discon-
tinued. Oh, we'll, it wasn't much
use anyway, the way it has been
conducted for the past while back
"The game board has no thought of
discontinuing or abandoning either
the Bottineau game farm or the state
hatchery at st. John. That neither
has been the success hoped for is due
largely to the incompetency, misman-
agement and misrepresentation of
former employees of the department,
but we hope to survive the blight of
this misfortune even, and make the
Bottineau farm just what it was in
tended to be-of great value to the
state. We have been handicapped
somewhat through causes impossible
to overcome, but am glad to say
we are making progress.
"Conditions at the ST. ohm hatchery
have been discoursging, owing to the
work Of nature, which no human
power could overcome The lakes
have receded to such an extent that
they have become foul and stagnant,
resulting in practically all fish being
exterminated. This unfortunate con-
dition prevails in many of the border
Canadian lakes, as we'll as many Of
the lakes of Minnesota.
"The Bottineau farm was located
where it is largely through the ef-
forts of Hon. John H. Kirk, who was
at the time a valued member of the
board. While there was some ques-
tion as to the advisability and prac-
ticability of the location, I was and
still remain one Of those who have
faith in it's ultimate success. It would
be most discouraging to know ALL
the people of Bottineau county feel as
you evidently do about your game
farm. However, with the cooperation
of those not members Of the Knockers
Club, we hope to make the undertak-
ing such success that even the Far
mers Advocate will point to it with
pride. Very truly yours,
~. H. BLOOM.

HOUSING. PROBLEMS

Housing experts see little hope Of
relief for the homeless people of New
York state in the suggestions for
emergency housing laws which the
leaders at Albany have given out
since Governor Smith summoned the
Legislature in special session to deal
with the housing shortage.
State Senator Lockwood, in charge
of the program, says that the first
measure will be one exempting from
state income taxation all mortgages
on buildings erected for dwellings.
Next will be law granting prefer
entail treatment of building permits
for dwellings,, which is intended to
make labor and material more avail
able. There is measure which
would lower the taxes on dwelling
houses and apartments.
In the tenement and cheap resi-
dence districts, however, there is be-
ing agitated demand that the leg
islature shall follow at least one step
in the path opened by North Dakota.
That is, they want a state constitu-
tional amendment drafted and adopt
ed which will permit the state to sell
bonds to raise funds to be loaned to
persons wishing to build homes.
Another scheme talked Of is the
establishing Of series Of state
building and loan banks, on the plan
Of the farm loan banks.

SUGAR PRICES DROP 50

Sugar prices are tumbling. But
men who know the market are by no
means certain that the prices will
stay down. The present drop is in
part due to the arrival of the sea
sonal crop, and in part to the arrival
in our ports of shipments Of sugar
from Java and from Europe -
sources Of cane and beet sugar that
have sent us no supply for years
past. These distant producers have
been attracted by the famine prices
which the sugar trust has forced on
the American people, thanks to At
torney General Palmer.
IF this new supply keeps coming
for month the trust will have to
sacrifice some Of it's loot. But if it
can stop the shipments, by any de-
vice, then we shall presently be en-
joying the privilege Of paying more.

GREED CHECKS MARKET

feed wholesale prices to get cash.

cent of the garment workers-on

are now unemployed.
Japan's panic is explained in much
the same way-overstocking on ex-
port silk. A trade journal quotes a
university-bred Japanese as telling
private audience the other day:
"The truth in nutshell is that Japan
is canceling all the foreign orders
she can, and at the same time is try
ing to force her silk out to get money
to liquidate the already overburden-
ed markets in Japan, with the banks
pressing them harder daily.
"Both America and Japan can
thank their own inordniate greed for
the situation confronting them. They
were war profit mad The overstock
of raw silk has got to be got out OF
the market, and the United States is
the place to do it, and cheap raw silk
is the only answer"

WASHINGTON, D. C. Doctor
Ladd's report to the people Of the
Northwest that the Farm Bureau
federation is going to tackle the job
of ridding the country of the useless
middleman, either through co-opera-
tives on a tremendous scale or by
the North Dakota method of state
ownership Of marketing facilities,
has created near-panic in lobbying
circles in the national capital.
Here the Farm Bureau federation
has been supposed TO be wholly or
napental and standpat body, created
in many places by the active aid Of
chambers of commerce for the pur-
pose Of preventing the farmers from
falling under radical" influence.
The idea that a body so big and
prosperous and SO capable Of getting
what it goes after, should ever go
after anything that the profiteers
have nailed down, had never before
occurred to the minds of the dinner
dance statesmen who draw thou
sands a month from the food gam
blers to keep them ''in touch" at
Washington.
They are going to look into this
situation, and if the Farm Bureau
federation is shown to be getting ac-
tually disloyal, like the Nonpartisan
league, they are going to turn the
case over to the Public Ledger, the
Chicago Tribune and Bill Taft.
A NEW CAMPAIGN MANAGER
Congressman Doremus of Detroit,
who led the forlorn hope of the house
Democrats who opposed the repeal
of the Panama canal tolls act some
years ago, is announced as manager
of the Cox campaign in the West,
with headquarters at Chicago. Dore-
mus is typical big-city Democratic
politician, reactionary to the last de-
gree, and past master Of the tricks
Of the vote-catching trade. He has
remained a defiant wet, persistent
worker for high tariffs on automo-
biles, and valued adviser of every
big corporate interest in his baili-
wick.
At the time of his battle with
President Wilson over the canal tolls
issue, Doremus was chairman of the
Democratic congressional compaign
committee. He gave up that job at
the end of the year and permitted
the party to notice his absence.
Later, the White House made truce
with him, and now that Cox has come
to the leadership Of the. national Or
ganization the Detroit sachem is call
ed upon to show how a practical cor
poration lawyer can run practical
business mems campaign.
