FELLOWSHIP.
The earth is warmed by the kindly
sun, -
But lives are warmed by the deeds
of men
And their words Of praise when our
best we've done
And the parting wish that we'll
meet again.
The clouds may blanket the sky with
gray
And the earth grow chill as the
rain descends,
But he shall keep smiling along his
way
Whose heart is warmed by the love
of friends.
It's the glad "hello' and the hand
clasp true,
The smile of joy on a friendly face
That means contentment for me and
And makes of the earth a happy
place.
1t isn't the gold that we strive to
Nor the fame we struggle SO long

Who has sought advantage by trick

And seeks for a welcoming smile
in vain.
For the earth is warmed bv the
kindly sun,
But lives are warmed by a higher
plan,
And he shall be glad when his work
is done
Who has kept the faith with his
fellow man.

ROTTING FRUIT.

investigation by a Chicago newspa-
ner shows that four hours by ran
from, Chicago fruit valued at half a
nd,,ion dollars is rotting on the
1ronnd or in imminent danger OF
spoiling, while in Chicago prices LOT
fruit of the same grade are so nlgn
that the family Of ordinary means is
unable to buy.
This is no new thing. Similar con-
ditions have existed. somewhere in the
country wear after year, n wide pub
licity has been given to the facts. Ell
forts to ascertain the causes n TO
provide remedies have had only par
tial effect. Without question the
greatest and most satisfactory prog
ress has beer made among the fruit
" of the Pacific coast, where
growers associations have beer
formed to supervise the fruit industry
all through the growing season, and
to the final, marketing of the product.
One thing thai has always stood
in the way of a satisfactory solution
of this problem is hat too many peo-
pie have approached it with the solu-
ton all ready in advance of investl-
cation. Demagogues have approach
ed the subject, not for the purpose
of correcting an evil, but in order to
obtain material with which to sup
port their widest theories. The So
luton of IN important business prob
lem has been subordinated to the
election of somebody to office or the
enactment of a law which will apply
somebody's set theory.
The distribution of our food prod
ucts to- their consumers is a business
full of complications. and the COM
plications are multiplied many f:...
where the products are OF a perishable
nature, such as fruits. If wheat can
not be marketed advantageously when
threshed. it can be stored, and. prop
erly stored, it can be kept for years,
If necessary, without great deteriora-
ton or waste. This is not true of per-
.shable products.
Potatoes must be protected from
frost, and must be marketed within
u few months after digging. Under
no circumstances can the potato crop
be carried over into the next year.
Fruits are still mora difficult to han
die. They must be protected from
both heat and cold, and even in the
best cold storage plant they car be
kept advantageously only a very short
lime.
The canning factory in the center
of a fruit growing district OF limited
area seems to provide a means for
taking care Of at least one part of
the problem. Then, if for any reason
a satisfactory market cannot be found
for the product in time to avoid spoil
ing, the fruit can be taken care of in
the factory.
So far as we know, all the fruit as
sociations that we have-and several
OF them are operating very success
fully-are cooperative enterprises,
organized, financed and managed by
the growers themselves for their own
benefit. 1t is a fact that by means OF
this form of organization the fruit
growers Of the west have been able
to invade the eastern markets which,
by all the rules, should nave been
supplied from the fields and orchards
nearer at hand.

A POLICY.

AS Don as the five commissioners
who are to be elected tomorrow have
qualified the city will be operating
under a new form of government diff
ferins materially in several respects
from the old. The city council will
wind up its work and turn over the
affairs Of the city to another group of
men.
The city council which now closes
its work has conducted our civic af-
fairs through what has been in many
respects the most trying period Of the
city of Grand Forks. The war period
enhanced the cost OF every article OF
consumption. and at the same time
made such demands on the people for
funds for war purposes and purposes
related to the war that it was i'm
perative that all costs OF city admins
tration be kept al the lowest possible
level.
notwithstanding the difficulties of
the problem. our bonded indebtedness
has been materially diminished: tax
es levied for sinking fund purposes
have actually been applied to the re-
tirement of bonds: all current ex-
penses have been paid and no floating
debt exists, and there has been Of
fected an actual reduction in our tax
levy.
The Citizens ticket contains the
names of live men, one Of whom was
for years identified with the city, soy-
eminent as alderman and mayor. and
four Others who are now members of
the city council. These men are com.
nlltted to q continuation of the policy
OF economy and efficiency which has
brought the city through these criti:
cal years with assets Increasing IN
value and with credit unimpaired. They
are not plungers or adventures. They
recognize the fact that in the e.s
OF the city, as in private enterprise.
wherein they have succeeded. endur.
ing progress must rest on prudence,
This Is the truly constructive policy,
1t u not necessary to attack the e
sonAl character or question the mo
tives Of the men whose IN appear
on the opposition ticket. But the fact
'fs indisputable that these men have
not the experience in or familiarity
with thesaffairs Of the city possessed
by the candidates on the Citizens
ticket. and 1t cannot be expected that

Mayor wheeler voted in favor Of per-
uniting the local power company to
increase it's rates for steam heat.
The fact IL that Mayor Wheeler did,
not vote on the subject at all for the
excellent reason that he had ne voting
rights in, the matter. The only people
competent to vote on the subject were
the members Of the Railway COM
mission, which has sole jurisdiction
over this subject.
Mayor Wheeler appeared before the
commission to represent the interests
of the taxpayers of Grand Forks.
When the question Of rates for steam
heat was up for discussion, Mayor
Wheeler insisted that this branch of
the company's service should be re-
uuired to stand on its own feet, and
that the different classes of service
should not be merged and treated in
bulk. He declared that it would be
an imposition on users of gas and cleo
tricity throughout the entire city to
require them to pay n part of the
cost of maintaining the steam heat
service for the downtown district.
Does anyone object? .

county agent in Dunn county for more
than a year, resigning last April to
accept a position as manager of the

CENSUS INDICATES CHICAGO
HAS POPULATION OF 4.oOo,OOt

CHICAGO, Jan. 24-Chicago will
show population Of 100000, accord
ing to veteran census enumerators
now engaged in checking up the resi-
dents. This will mean that the city
has almost doubled in population since
the last census. Several districts
show an increase of 200 per cent and
enumerators say the city is due for a
great surprise when returns are all
in. They say the figures will help eX-
plain why hotels, clubs and private
homes are crowded to the limit and
many applicants appear for every va
cant house and fiat. 1t is plain the
building program has not kept pace
with the growing population. Enum-
orators who have finished their work
discover they must wait until the en-
tire enumeration is completed before
they get their pay. This probably
means they will have to wait until
June and perhaps two months longer.
