THE UNION
MEETING CLOSES

The Price Union services closed
Sunday evening. after full two
weeks program which was successful
from every viewpoint, and eminent
ly satisfactory to the good people OF
Cookeville and surrounding communi'
ties. The direct results Of the meeting
was something near 200 souls saved
or reclaimed for the Master. and the
whole church membership Of the town

DIR. Thurston B. Price is a safe ano
sane evangelist. He is forceful
speaker and possesses great per-
; sonality. He breaches plain, COM
: mon sense doctrines that can be cas-
ily understood by all, and appreciated
by all broadminded people. He does
not attempt to appeal to the emotion
!. OF his hearers, but on the other hand
zbegs his audiences to deliberate on
their decisions. He has a great fac
ulty of bringing home to the ordinary
: church member his or her weakness
les and gives them advice which, II
needed, will undoubtedly make them
better Christians and better citizens.
\ Taking 1t all in all, the Price team

strength and power for good and

having had them here during the
past fortnight. Mr.. John ID Thomas.

service on Sunday evening.

The Democratic PRIMARY Election
held in Putnam county last Saturday
for the purpose Of selecting Demo.
cratic nominees for the August 1921
general election, passed of very
quietly indeed, notwithsts nding tho
fact that it was of much general I'm
terest. The three Offices for which
there was contestants were warmly
fought for, and with the exception of
one, Register, the races were remark
ably close. Haskell Grogan CT the
10th District won the nomination for
Register apparently easy. as his ma
jority over his closest competitor was
more than 600 votes. John M. Lee
won the nomination for sheriff by q
plurality Of 103 votes, while Mrs.
Mary F. Denny is the party's nomi4
nee for Trustee BY q plurality of 1877,
according to the ofacial figures. The
vote was 342S for the county ana
shows plainly that the Democratic
party is the dominant party of Put
nam county, and when the time comes
can easily muster another 1900 votes
for in many precincts the vote was
comparatively light, although the wo-
men voted equally as well as tho
leaders expected, hut the rncn did not
anything like vote their strength.
Taking it all I'M all the county
never had a finer Lot Of candidates to
choose from. They were all capable
citizens and made a fair fight to fulH
fill their aspirations, and, be it said
to the credit Of those who did not
win, they took their defeat philo-
and will be found in the
front ranks of the party next year,
fighting for the success of the more
fortunate candidates.
The party's slate for officers to be
voted for next August is now COM
plete and the ticket will be found
from now until the election at the
masthead of the Herald's editorial
page. They are all worthy and capa-

REHABILITATION
SCHOOL WORK

The citizens Of Cookeville. the
members Of the American Legion,
: and the disabled soldiers. who are at
tending Tennessee Polytechnic Insti-
2 tute, have been somewhat disturbed
recently by press reports from Wash
ington that Colonel Forbes Of the
Veterans Bureau is contemplating
, establishing four large training CEN
ters In the Army Cantonments, for
training one hundred and fifty. or two
hundred thousand disabled ex-soldiers
About so per cent Of the men in
training are married and many Of
them have children. In the canton
ments, the wives and children would
have no opportunity or social advan-
tages. compared with what they have
In the smaller towns or training cen.
ters. In small centers, the men and
their families are absorbed into the
social unit and are given an oppor.
tunity for religious, educational and
social development. Amd from exr
pressions coming from the men, them
selves, 1t is though. that they will al
most solidly oppose such scheme.
They have been clamoring for the
past three years for decentralization
and an opportunity tor training,
tratment, and other advantages Of
fered in or near their homes, and the
idea of changing from this policy to
= militaristic centralized policy fis
not in keeping with the wishes OF the
Disabled men who are to be served by
the Veterans Burau. No doubt Col.
Forbes and those in charge of the
Bureau are anxious to do all they
possibly can for the disabled men to
acceed to their desires as to training,
ETC., and when they learn the will of
the men themselves they will he gov
erned accordingly
Asid from the convenience to the
men themselves, there are financial
reasons why the several states will
object to the change in the training
program. The Government is spend
ing hundreds of millions of dollars on
the disabled men and this. under the
present policy, is distributed among
the best co..egs and universities of
the several states.
1t is to be hoped that the members
of Congress and the snate will use
their influence for the disabled men
and also for the business interests
Of their states and districts and will
ak that the arrangement already
made, and contracts entered into in
good faith by the Government shall
be faithfully carried out.

One Valley City hotel had over $40
worth of bum checks passed off on
them last week, by what was ia ken to
be an absolutely square and honest
citizens. They are not the only ones
that have suffered. The passing of
worthless checks seems to have be-
come fad. not only in this city, but
in other places as we'll. Of course
there are exceptions, when a man
will pass check and accidentally
overdraw his account, but such things
rarely occur. A good stiff sentence
handed out to vendors of such checks
would help to stop this nuisance: 1t
will be before long that everybody
will be adopting the motto Honor

crops and the financial depression, the
state, as we'll as individuals, must
ecOnomiZe.
There is danger that this argument
for economy and retrenchment will,
IT applied to educational institutions
result in great injury, not only to the
institutions directly affected, but also
to all the educational interests of the
state.
I'm the first place, it is false econ
omy to stint the educational institu-
lions and necessitate the curtailment
and postponement of plans for their
proper growth and development. No
state in the Union can afford to check
its educational progress, and North
Dakota, with relatively large proper
ton of unframed teachers and COM
paratively low educational standards
can least afford to take any backward
step in education.
I'm the second place, the demand
for economy in connection with the
state educational institutions has
been made so long, and has been heed
ed so often by past Legislative AS
semblies, that the institutions should
not be asked to wait longer for the
oAAAAASo "hASIA CIlcy nave HG0UcO
and have been pleading for during the
past several years.
"The Valley City Normal School
was given an appropriation of $685.
10000 for an Industrial Arts building
in 1911, and no building has been Civ.
en- this institution since that time.
Requests for sadly needed buildings
have been repeatedly made, but each
time the cry of economy has been rails
ed, and the school has been told to
wait till the next session of the Leg
islature.
"This school is asking for increased
appropriations for maintenance, and
for funds for building purposes. Many
buildings are needed, but the most ur
gent need is for physical education
building. The largest normal school
in North Dakota should have a gym
nasium at least equal to those found
in many high schools of the state.
Every V. C. N. graduate is asked
to help his alma mater in this effort
to secure the things which she must
have now if she is to continue as a
first class teacher training institution.
Legislators must realize that re-
trenchment in education is the poorest
kind of economy"

TOO MUCH ECONOMY
WILL WORK INJURY

How too much economy in making
financial appropriations for the edu-
cational institutions will prove ds-
as+rous in it's ultimate effects on cdu-
cationol progress in North Dakota
is well made clear in the following
article by Pre- sident c. E. Allen.
s:The report comes from Bismarck,
where the Seventeenth Legislative AS
sembly is in session. that some mem
hers of the Assembly are insisting
that state educational institutions
must not expect to receive any larger
appropriations for the coming bl-
ennium than were granted by the
last Legislative Assembly for the
present biennial period. These
members say that because Of poer

In order to keep the public informed
as to the proposed extension of the
city delivery service, it may be we'll
to state that before any definite steps
can be taken, the report of the post
office inspector who checked over the
city, and carrier routes last week,
must be sent into the post office de-
partment at Washington for approval,
and authority received by the local
postmaster before any changes can
be effected. The postmasters have no
authority to change or extend city de-.
livery Service beyond the limits Of
routes already laid out. However, it
is expected that the report of the
post office inspector to extend the SER
vice will be favorable, and that au-
thority will be given Postmaster
Smith to extend the service as laid out
and recommended by the inspector.

1t cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the minds Of those wishing to
avail themselves of the city delivery
service that all houses must be num-
bered, regulation sidewalks installed
in front Of each and every residence
along the route, and mail receptacles
of boxes placed at the front doors, so
that the carrier may be able to place
your mail therein. The post office in
spector advises that patrons on any
city route who has not the required
street number, sidewalk or mail box
as indicated above cannot have their
mail delivered. 1t is therefor abso-
lutely necessary that each and every
patron on city route provide those
essentials otherwise they cannot have
their mail delivered, Notwithstanding

cry route.

H. L. Reade state fire marshal, has is
sued the following fire prevention
warning: 1t reads: because winter
time, which is peculiarly subject to
fires, is with us and because the peo-
pie of North Dakota do not and can
not realize how many thousand dol
lars worth of property that has al
ready been accumulated, and which
is large part of the wealth of our
state, is being daily consumed by
fires, many of which are caused by
pure carelessness and neglect on the
part of the owners and others IN
charge, now therefore, |, as Fire Mar
shall of this state, wish to direct the
attention of the public to the following
facts: Owners and occupants OF the
various types of property in this state
should direct their most earnest Ell
forts to the frequent inspection OF
their business and home property and
make sure that chimneys, stoves, fur
naces and electric wiring are in a
safe condition so as to eliminate the
danger from fire or reduce same TO
the minimum. Also, insurance policies
should be consulted and if in any
case there seems to be any instance OF
over-insurance. prompt action should
be taken at once to reduce same so as
to meet the reductions Of values that
are taking downward tread in the
business and commercial world. |
wish also to convey the information
that in case of fire the insurance loss
will be adjusted upon present values
and not on values made high in con-
sequence of the late world war. l
especially urge cooperation Of the peo-
pie of the state to join in helping, to
reduce the great fire waste occurring
year after year in our fair state of
North Dakota "a Dollar Saved is
Dollar Earned.'
