The Cavalier Chronicle is running
a page advertisement edited by Mr.
Lemke, ct al, showing what wonder
full things the Nonpartisan admins
tration has done for the state the
last two years. But it does not
mention word about the 100000
practically dropped in the Scandina-
vian-American Bank of Fargo, the
$4,000 lost in the Peoples State
Bank Of Grand Forks, through the
Grand Forks American, the $4,000
lent to the Michigan City Bank for
financing the purchase of the auto
mobile concern that furnished the
League with automobiles, when the
capital stock of that bank was only
$4,000. We could publish pages of
the same kind of mismanagement.
Yet they are spending $4,000 thru
the Nonpartisan press to let the peo-
pie know how we'll they have man.
aged things. All this publicity mon
,ey comes from the state fund and
will have to be paid by the taxpay-
ers. Wonderful management.

We notice in the Cavalier Chroni-
Gle, the official organ of the Nonpar-
tisan party, that there will be an
election in Pembina township on
March 18th, and caucus on March
18th, at two o'clock. The most in
teresting part of this matter is that
there is scarcely a copy of the
Chronicle taken by the voters Of this
township save the faithful" ones.
The Nonpartisan vote of Pembina
township is in the majority and the
township board are all of the Town
ley faith which probably explains
the matter. For fairness to every
body we think that township elec-
tions over everything else should be
kept out of politics, and if there are
two factions in municipal organiza-
tions those who are forcing it on the
public are to, blame. It is poor pol
icy to bring politics into local affairs
to say the least.

CITY ELECTIONS.

The city election will take place
the first Monday in April. There
will be elected a mayor, one alder
man in each ward, and police ma
gistrate. The outgoing aldermen
are Julius Benson in Ward 1, sue
ccssor to the late H. L. McDougall in
Ward 2, and G. G. Thompson in
Ward 3.
Mayor Miller, who has served in
that capacity for about sixteen years
declines to stand for election again
on account of his health. It is a
tact that Mr.. Miller has been elected
against his wishes the last two
terms, and now that he has been in
poor health for some time he wants
to get away from the responsibility.
Mr.. Thompson, who. has served as
alderman from the 3rd ward for
about twenty years, also declines to
run again. Mr.. Benson, who is
rather a new member on the coun-
Gil, will probably accept re-nomina-
tion. He is good man and takes
interest in city affairs and should be
elected.
Mayor Miller retires from the
highest position on the city's gov
erning board with clean record.
He has served faithfully and his
ever watchful eye over the expendi-
lures of money for public improve
ments, is we'll known.
The policy of the people of Penn
bina has been to eliminate politics
from the city elections. It has made
no difference what the candidates
political affiliations were, or whether
he was Jew or a Gentle, if he was
considered the right man he would
be elected. And the mayor and al
dermen have served without cents
compensation, which is saying a
great deal.
Let us hope that at the coming ell
ection the same policy will be fol-
lowed Elect men who have the in
terest of the city at heart and who
are actual taxpayers, and have busi-
ness ability. There is lots to do for
the city administration the next two
years. The Red river bridge ques-
tion is an important one. water
works will be considered, and sundrv
other things that requires vigilence
and good Judgment.

PROPOSE ROAD AND DRAIN ON
INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY.

State Drainage Engineer Willard
and Engineer James Deneen are
busy at the present time running
the levels on the International boun-
Diary line on the north side of Kit
son county, in order to make a report
to Congress. Similar information
as to the line north of Roseau coun-
ty Is already available.
The expectation is to get drain
age canal on the line taking the
overflow waters from the Roseau
river basin direct to the Red river
and to gather up the water coming
into Roseau river from the Canadian
side and take it west by the new
route, thereby preventing the floods
in the river basin in the west part of
the county.
Incidentally it is hoped to estab-
lish an international highway along
the boundary line from the Lake of
the woods to the Red river.
It is probable the matter may be
referred to the International Joint
Commission for recommendations as
to its engineering and financing diff
ficulties. and being an international
project it is likely to be built under
their directions, if the government
can be made interested in the mat

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE?

The North Dakota legislature ad-
journed Friday night amid fist fights
and disorder generally. The legis-
lative assembly will go down into
history as one of the most turbulent
political gatherings ever held in the
Flickertail state.
The general impression is that
very little was accomplished in the
way Of new laws, which is true: On
account of the senate being Of one
political complexion and the house
another, it was not expected there
would be any agreement on vital is
sues. The issues between the two
factions were so clearly defined and
'';"..,e+r;callv nrrosed to earh other
that things could not be different.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER.
Exclusive to the Pioneer Express)

objected to having the agricultural
bill, containing the Gronna amend
ment for s5,OOO,OO0 for seed loans,
referred to the conference committee
Friday until promised by Chairman
, Sidney Anderson Of the sub. COM
mittee that the House would be CIV
en- an opportunity to pass upon the
amendment.
If the bill were to go to confer
ence in its present form, without the
approval of the House, the Gronna
amendment, which was added to the
bill after its passage by the House,
might be stricken out by the House
conferees. However if the House it,
self agrees to the amendment the
conferees will have no power to act
upon the additional appropriation
and the loan feature will go through
with the general bill.
Republican leaders, in their efforts
at economy, are not taking kindly to
additional appropriations of this
character and hard fight is due un-
der any circumstance if the bill is to
go through in its present form.
Governor Lynn J. Frazier and
Spurgeon O'Dell. speaking for the
Nonpartisan administration and the
Bank of North Dakota. appeared be-
fore the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor, in
session here last week.. urging that
the unions of the country buy up
$5,0O0,000 of state bonds and also
that they deposit union funds in the
Bank of North Dakota.
The Governor arrived in the city
early in the week and conferred with
labor leaders for several days. Mr..
O'Dell is understood to have done
likewise. During the conferences it
was impossible to learn the attitude
of the union leaders but it is report
ed that the labor heads refused to
recommend to their organizations
that they purchase North Dakota
bonds, declaring that labor was not
IN the bonding business.
At any rate Governor Frazier did
tot appear at the Labor Temple on
Thursday and it is believed that he
las given up hope of making any
sort Of deal with the Federation
men. Toward the end of the week
It was stated upon good authority
that the Governor, failing to reach
an agreement with the union men,
had departed for New York, accom-
panied by DR.. E. F. Ladd, senator
elect, who had spent several days in
the city.
It is now reported that Walter
Liggett, assistant state immigration
commissioner, now in Washington,
will be secretary for DR.. Ladd, while
Macarthur, now in Congressman
Baer's Office, will act as clerk. at
least temporarily.
The soldiers bonus bill is now up
IN the Senate and it, seems highly
probable that it will pass before the
end Of the session. No funds how
ever will be provided until the next
Congress meets.
Amendments to the bill, adopted

that applications for aid under the
bonus provisions must be made by
former service men before july 1st.

ART TRAINING FOR CHILDREN
BY c. Louise Schanner.

BY G. Louise Schdffner.
Walter Scott Perry, director of the
school of fine and applied arts, Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn, n. Y, says:
Drawing is the only universal Ian
guage used by men of all ages and OF
all nationalities.'
IL teachers and parents realized that
this definition Of drawing is literally
true, more time and attention would
be given to the subject at school and
at home. 1t would not be considered
a "frill' nor an extra" but would be
classed as an essential, along with
reading, writing and arithmetic.
All children, especially the very lit
tie folks, who have not mastered the
spoken language we'll enough to ex-
press themselves clearly, naturally en-
JOY making pictures to show what they
have in mind. They should be given
every opportunity TO do this. The diff
iculty in most homes, the rich as
well as the poor, is that no attention
is paid to this part Of the children's
development, and no suitable material
is given them.
Usually the only medium they find
with which to make pictures is a lead
pencil. They use it eagerly and with
enthusiasm, partly because Of their
natural desire to draw and partly be-
cause they see the older members Of
the family using it to write with. The
only thing that they can d. with the

WHEAT LOOKS GOOD

The winter wheat crop Is reported
price of wheat is SO much better than
that of nearly every other farm prod
nc, that it begins to look like the
farmers best hope, wherever there is
reasonable prospect of securing a fair
yield per acre. This is the way M. X.
Benedict, farm management specialist
at State college, sizes up the present
situation for the South Dakota farmer.
Where wheat habitually fails to
produce up to the average yield Of
the state he says, sit is questionable
whether any price justified growing
it, as the cost per bushel is excessive
where these low yields habitually oc-
cur.
As TO the world supply and demand
he says: "The total exports Of wheat
and -four reckoned as wheat from the
United States and Canada from July
l to February "a, are reported by
Bradstreet's at 800, 1S3, $50 bushels.
"Only three months remain Of the
crop year. The price of wheat at
Chicago has been ranging from about
$1.60 to $40 per bushel for the March
delivery, with premiums for spot and
a discount Of about 10 cent per
bushel for May. The discount on fu-
lures has prevailed throughout the
crop year, showing the skepticism of
buyers toward the theory that a short
age would develop before the next har-
vest.
Argentina and Australia are now
the chief sources Of supply for the
importing countries, and their sup
plies appear to be ample for all de
mands. This country is thought to
have sold about all it has to spare,
and the movement to put an import
duty on wheat has stimulated the
movement from Canada to this coun-
try, to provide against possible needs.
THE worlds carry-over will not be
large, and it is now quite improbable
that Russia will contaribute anything
to the next years supply for western
Europe, and as the Argentine and
Australian crops this year were much
above the average of those countries,
the outlook for the price Of wheat
from the 1921 crop would seem to be
very good. Moreover, it will be pro
duced at lower cost"

the children's development, will sub
stitute the lead pencil and wax cray.
ons or crayola.
In most homes, and unfortunately
in some k~indergartens and primary
grades, most of the art work which in
wolves the use of scissors and paints,
consists in cutting out and coloring
pictures from magazines or pictures
outlined from patterns. This has little
value as art training except to give
skill in the handling of the scissors
and the brush. 1t is good as far as it
goes. 1t is far more educational, how
ever, and will develop the child's idea
of form to a much greater degree, TO
encourage him to cut out his W
forms, without any patterns, just as
he makes his own drawings when al
lowed to express himself freely as an
individual. Tearing u from paper
forms in which he is interested, using
the thumb and fore finger of each
hand held close together like two pairs
of nippers is also an excellent way
for a child to work out his own idea
of form.
TO be Of real value, most of the art
efforts of children should be the re-
suits of their own thinking and seeing,
just as their talking efforts should eX-
press their own ideas and not consist
merely in the repetition of the words
of those around them.
