declaring that be was the cnly one
implicated in the mystery Of the Lovett
boys death, the authorities are now
endeavoring to establish q more def
mite motive than that ascribed by
Decker.
The police apparently are not fully
satisfied with Decker's statement. They
believe there are many details yet to
be revealed. A special session Of the
grand jury, beginning next Thursday,
to investigate the Lovett murder was
called to-day by Judge D. w. Boyce, of
the Kosciusko Circuit Court, after a
conferences with Prosecutor Henry w.
Graham.
ELKHART, Ind, March 1e.--Mrs.
Lydia Decker, mother of Virgil Decker,
listened quietly to-day at her home
here to the story told in her sons con-
fession of the murder of his chum.
Later she left for Warsaw.
"Did he say any one else helped him
to do it," she asked.
"He says no one did. But what do
you think about it" was the reply.
"Man. haven't the slightest idea,'
responded the mother, "but it looks to
me as If there was some one that knew
say why he did it?"
"He said the devil told him TO-"
"Why man." she exclaimed, showing
emotion for the first time, "he must
be crazy! There is something wrong
with that boy. don't believe he would
do it alones Some one must have told
him to do it. Man, have no more idea
than you have why Virgil would kill
Leroy, because they were always good
friends and Virgil liked him.
"Thers are those" the mother con-
timed, "that I would not put it bit
past if they had something to do with
it. tell you, man, Virgil has some
thing the matter with him. There
is certain person that let Virgil have
some money the day he went away with
the Lovett boy. Pm not saying any,
thing against anybody, but if any one
helped Virgil do that it was some one
who had a reason for it, to get money
or something like that.
$50 he told that he did it? NY, what
wickedness there is in this world! I
don't believe he did 1t alone, and maybe
he didn't do it, and they just scared
him into telling that he did it,"

100 Citizens Guard Town
TO Stop Incendiary Fires
Three Blazes in Week, Set by

SOMERV1LLE, N. j., March 49,
Sheriff Robert Conklin to-day swore in
400 citizens rs special deputy sheriffs
to aid in catching the incendiary who
has set three fires here in ono week.
The deputy sheriAfs were stationed in
various parts Of the town whore it was
thought the "firebue" might attempt
to start another blaze to-nirht. !
Duke and United States Senator Ere
Nnghuysen have houses here.
Newspapers and tar paper were piled
last midnight in a ventilating hole in
one Of the lumber sheds of the Hoff-
man Building Supply Company and 2
match was touched to the pile. The
shed is in large lumber yard, but a
man passing, saw the smoke, turned in
an alarm, and prevented what would
have been serious fire.
An incendiary fire was set on the
previous midnight in q building used
by M. H. Slater & Sons for storing
farm implements. 1t was burned down
and the damages amounted to $4,000.
The firemen said that evidently oil or
gasoline had been poured on part of
the building.
The senior member Of the firm had
received q letter on Thursday, mailed
in Somerville that morning, which
read:
'1f you don't pay the bill you owe
Inc your buildings will be burned.
"BILL."
Mr.. Slater said he thought the note
had been written by a crank, and he did
not report it to the police until after
his storage building was destroyed.
One week ago a stable and garage
owned by A. G. Anderson, former
Somerset County Clerk, was burned
while Mr.. Anderson was in Florida with
his wife. The cause of the fire could
not be determined at the time.

QUALITY is URGENT FACTOR
Striking Example Furnished by Ken
tuckian, Who Markets Eggs,
Poultry and Fruit.

An example of the part that quality
plays in business of direct marketing
of farm produce is furnished by the ex-
perience of man in Kentucky who
markets eggs, dressed poultry, meats
and fruits to consumers in Nashville,
Tenn.
The business was established over
two years ago by obtaining friend
as the first customer. From this mod
est beginning the producer has OBJ
tanned sufficient customers to buy all,
of the high-grade produce he can sup
ply. Most of the shipments are made
by parcel post.
This business is conducted on the
basis of high quality with adequate re-
turns, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Customers are
selected with as much care as most
consumers show in selecting pro-
Queer from whom to buy farm produce.
Customers are retained by never
breaking the rule to supply only the
best produce raised on his own farm.
If, when an order is obtained, this
farmer does not have produce of the
| highest quality. he informs the custom
er and states that unless otherwise in
structed the produce will be shipped
at the earliest possible date.

whats the difference?" asked
the man.
"a difference of fifty cents in this
case" replied the agent. The
lower is higher than the upper. The
higher price is for the lower. If
you want it lower you'll have to go
higher. We sell the upper lower
than the lower. In other words, the
higher the lower. Most people
don't like the upper, although it is
lower on account of it being high

have to get up to go to bed and get
down when you get up. You can

CLUB CHARACTERS
PRESENT PLAYLET

Wednesday afternoon at 4:3O the
Dramatic Club presented to pleased
audience consisting Of students and
faculty it's first play Of the year.
"The Return Of Lefty" is set in a
simple country home. Lefty, the
daughter of the house, has been away
for four years and has won some no.
,toriety as an actress. She is expect
ed home and her mother and friends
are. greatly concerned that she may
. find them and the old home too simple
for her. However, they are there to
greet her. She arrives with 50 much
pomp and baggage that their fears
are certified. Their welcomes are stiff
and formal. Lefty is, hurt to think
that they believe her changed. To re-
lieve the situation she puts on an
apron in place of her silk dress. They
then realize that the same playful
comrade has returned to them.
Celeste, the French maid Lefty brings
with her, is very amusing in her dia-
lect as is also the little cousin who
runs about in great excitement over
the return of her famous" cousin.
The success of the play was in
large degree due to the directress:
Miss Kittel. Edith Ralston took the
part of Lefty and Ada Engen, her
mother. Other characters were Anna
belle Yaeger, Pearl Johnson, Gertrude
Murdoch, and Matilda Anderson.

WORKS OUT PLANS
FOR FUTURE GROWTH

President C. E. Allen has given the
Normal School Budget the follow
! ing statement of some of the posi-
| bilities that are in store for V. c. N
! We feel that alumni and friends will
, read it with pleasure.
! The next two years will be import
ant ones for the Valley City Normal
School. The 18th Legislative Assem-
! bly, enacted a law giving the Board of
Administration authority to extend
courses in normal schools, and it is
expected that as a result of this new
law, Valley City will have the first
State Teachers College of North Da-
kota. We hope, before the close of
this school year, to have authority
from the Board to add two years to
our course, and to confer the degree of
Bachelor of Arts in Education upon
those who complete a course of four
years beyond graduation from a
standard four year high school. Such
an extension of work will give pres
tige to the institution, and will mean
much not only to those who take the
advanced courses and secure degrees.
but also to students who complete the
ordinary curricula which have been Of
fered here, and will continue to be
offered in the future.
Again, the two years Immediately
before us will see improvements and
developments which increased appro-
priations will make possible. In
creased costs made the appropriations
of the 18th Legislative Assembly in
adequate for the proper maintenance
of the institution. Supplies and equip
ment and even relairs have been nee
essarily curtailed. but with the coming
biennial period appropriations just
made will furnish needed supplies for
all departments. Necessary purchases
of furniture, apparatus and machinery
can now be made, and generous pro-
vision for repairs will make it possible
to put and keep all buildings in good
condition. The library will have funds
for more new books than heretofore.
and grounds and walks will be i'm
proved.
Beginning with this coming sum-
mer, our school year will consist of
four quarters of twelve weeks EACH
forty-eight weeks in all. The fall
winter, and spring quarters will be
the same as the corresponding terms
have always been, but the summer
quarter will be divided into two terms
of six weeks each, and credits may be
made in either term or in the entire
quarter. With all departments ade-
quately provided with funds for sup
plies and equipment, with the institu-
ton taking the rank of a state teach
ers' college, with the school year
heightened to four full quarters OF
twelve weeks each, and last but by no
means least, with a physical educa-
ton building in prospect. the outlook
for the future of this school is very
promising.
