no evidence with which to prove such
charges if they were to make them.
So let the Nonpartisans undertake
to recall all the Independents they
want to. The Independents have all
the best of it from the start.
At the next primary and general
election, the Independents will be
Democrats and Republicans again.
Adangerous three cornorei fight is
then inevitable. Now we can all be
together.
Let us not fool ourselves into
thinging that there can be political
peace in North Dakota while consti-
tutional government is being under
mined, our schools polluted, tax
money squaandered and despotic
state officials talking about revolu-
tion and machine guns. Hadn't we
better get together for a real con-
test this summer? If the Indepen-
dents would do that we can win so
completely that there may be pros
pect of political peace for while
after that.
The future is full of more unde.
sirable compromises and dangerous
complications than the most of US
realize now. We will do we'll to care
fully take stock of the troubles a.
head before we decide to stop the
recall campaign now under headway
Backing up on the recall now may be
a mistake that We will regret fol
years.

be held and a genuine spring clean
up made at Bismarck to rid the state
of it's political paracites. If you are
in doubt onthe matter be sure to
read the letter of T. G. Nelson on the
first page of this issue. There is a
possibility that the State Convention
at Devils Lake will decide against
holding a recall at this time. If you
are in favor of letting Townley keep
his hands on the State Finances and
debating the actions of the Industrial
Commission through the Attorney
General, all right. If you want to
get rid of them and have the state
house cleaned out and put in order
again as soon as possible, it is time
to get busy. Set down and write to

THE PRODIGAL VILLAGE
BY Irving Bachelor

Mr.. Bachelor wrote this story for
you. He knows your confusion, your
doubts and your worry at the trend
of present-day affairs. And in this
tale he shows the clash of the new,
corroding materialistic aims with
the old sturdy, Strengthening Amer

still hold us steadfast to the good.

breath taking sort; but they grip you

pleasurable glow which comes from

The other initiated laws provide
for other needs so that when these
laws are approved a special session of
the legislature may not be needed for
some time if at all. These laws go
into force thirty days after they are
approved New officers likewise take
office almost Immediately.
If we back up on the recall it will
be charged that the legislative in
vestigation was farce. What shall
we say? Shall we treat the work of
our legislators as joke? Shall we
say that the principles of govern
ment, for which we have waged such
a bitter and costly fight, are after all
not worth enough to make another
fight for alta moment when every

an election this summer. But this
question of whether or not to go
thru with the recall is too serious a
question to settle on the basis of per-
sonal feeling. We haven't the right
to push it aside just because we are
tired.
The voters of North Dakota are al
a critical place. The quality and
caliber of our craftsmanship is being
put to a test. If we do not clear

fiction. 1t is replete with thrilling
adventures, has captivating ro-

fully written, it's incidents are cum

a smashing climax; and in addition,
it throws many Illuminating rays on
the railroad problem as it exists

twenty years has been turning out

BULLDOG DRUMMOND
BY Cyril McNeile


If any thing in the way of fiction
could be more exciting than BULL
Dog Drummond" and carry more in
tense concentration of the reader
from one installment to another, we
doubt If it has yet been written.
Thrills there are galore and adven-
lures of the most remarkable kind.
But it does not rely entirely upon
these characteristics to attract and
hold attention. The main character
has humor as wei as bravery and
there is an entertaining by-play of
cleverness in connection with all the
episodes of the tale. Also there are
some very attractive character stud
les and pleasing romance in con-
nection with the plot; and a con-
siderable purpose in the light which
is thrown upon certain revolutionary
tendencies throughout the world and
the forces behind them.
Readers of Bulldog Drummond''
will be held spellbound by the ex-
citing phases of the narrative, but
will retain something in their minds
besides the pictures of Drummond,
his sweetheart Phyllis, the malign
individuals against whom they con-
tend and the many dangers through
which they passed. A story of thrill
ing adventure, it also inspires thot.

THE PRINCESS OF MARS
BY Edgar Rice Burroughs

Is story of another world, curiously
captivating in its romance qualities
and in the originality Of its concep-
tion.. The spirit of adventure car
ried beyond the earth into realms
of space. No one but the author of
the "Tarzan" tales has an imagina-
tion sufficiently bold to create such
narrative and make it charming.
It is wierd, bewildering, fascinating.
So unusual are the characters and
episodes that the reader falls under
their spell and finds himself viewing
as it were, a pageant of happenings
in another sphere.

In the reports coming to me from
the teachers throughout the county.
l find that most of the underweight
children have gained to normal
weight. A great number OF the
schools in Steele County have the
hot lunch system, and it is in these
schools that the largest per cent OF
the children have gained. l hope
that all of the defects of Steele Coun-

they will start to school again with

the field in which the greatest progress
could be made in the shortest time
was in improving the morale OF the
service. was sure that by merely
introducing a different spirit into the
relations between the department and
the employees, by making them more
comfortable, and by giving them as
surance about their future commensu-
rate with their worth and importance
as a matter OF simple justice-by
merely doing this | felt confident that
we could accomplish the equivalent OF
adding many thousands of employees
to the department
And, in proof of the good in hui
man nature, and for the benefit of
public and private employers every
where who may contemplate the same
step | am glad to say this assump-
ton proved correct. The most inn
portant element in any service is the
spirit of the men doing it, and we
are getting away in the postofice SER
vice from any idea that labor is a
commodity. l am determined in all
seriousness to go to great lengths to
develop in the department the spirit
that we are $4,000 partners"

MOROCCAN WOMEN
DO ALL THE WORK
THE HUSBANDS TREAT WIVES
WORSE THAN CATTLE. CON-
sumo FOUR MEALS DAILY.

While the men OF the savage, war
ike Berber tribes of Morocco are busy
fighting off the Spaniards in the bloody
truggle now going on in Morocco,
Africa. the women lead most miser-
able lives. They do all the work. The
women look after the cattle, grind the
grain, make the bread churn the but
ter. hew the wood, draw the water,
do all the blowing and sowing and
are treated by their lordly husbands
even worse than the animals to whom
they are yoked to do field work.
The Berber families number about
10000. of whom 5000 are men of fight
ing age. The tribes are divided into
nine factions and quarrel among them
selves. They are nomads who settle
temporarily in places where pasture IS
plentiful. Their homes are large tents
which they pitch in circles.
Eat Four Meals Daily.
The tribesmen eat four meals each
day. They consume great quantities
of weak tea, and before they retire for
the night devour large balls Of flour,
water and honey. Their chief care is
the cattle They are careful to put
them to pasture with their backs to
the sun. so that they will not become
blind because of its brightness.
Among the chief festivities are those
connected with births and the giving
of names. The names are given eight
DAYS after birth, and the father sacri-
fees sheep, sprinkles the child with
its blood and pronounces the names
to be given it.
Bargaining for Wives.
When a young man of the tribe
becomes 20 years old it is time for
him to begin bargaining with the faith
er of some girl whom he wishes for
his wife. The young mans father
speaks with the girls father and tries
to arrange terms of the marriage. His
uncles sacrifice a sheep in front OF
the tent of the chosen bride and at the
same time entreat her father to give
her to their nephew.
If the father consents the price OF
the girl and the dowry she is to bring
with her is agreed upon. The day OF
the ceremony is set, but the bride
knows nothing about it. When the
wedding day arrives the parents of the
bridegroom go in procession to the
tent of the brides father, to whom
they give half the price to be paid for
the bride, receiving in return half of
the brides dowry.
The couple go to their future tent
although the ceremony is not
yet complete. The real wedding takes
place the next day, when the bride is
taken on the back of camel to the
tent of the bridegroom, where she is
welcomed by his parents. The rest
of the price and dowry then change
hands. The wedding is completed with
much feasting.

FINGER PRINTS OF
POSTAL DEPOSITORS
PRESENT METHOD OF IDENTI-
FICATION IS SUPPLEMENT-
ED BY GOVERNMENT.

Beginning December 18th a system
of finger prints for identification OF
postal savings depositors was put in
effect by the postofice department. In
structions for inaugurating the system
already has been sent to postmasters.
The system will be used to supple
ment rather than replace the present
method of identification by means OF
personal history of depositors, IT was
explained, and postmasters were warn
ed care must be taken not to associate
with criminology.
Two main purposes of the system,
it was explained are the protection of
paying postmasters and clerks on the
one hand and the depositors on the
other. Finger prints must be taken
when an account is opened and when
ever interest or principal is paid for
comparison of impressions. Finger
prints OF all present depositors will
be taken when they make their first
deposit after the installation OF the
system.

POSTAL DEPARTING
WORLDS BIGGEST FIRM
EMPLOYS $4,000 PERSONS. H.
100000, 900 LETTERS ARE MAIL
ED EVERY YEAR.

The United States postal service,
with $4,000 employees Immediately
connected with the operation, serving
100000 customers, is the biggest
distinctive business in the world, &C
cording to Postmaster General VIII
H. Hayes The post office department
spends S600,000,000 annually.
The department has the largest eX-
press company in the world handling
more than 2,500,000,00 packages this
year. 1t has over 100000 depositors in
postal savings, the largest savings
bank in the world, with Is per cent OF
the depositors being of foreign eX-
traction. There is twice as much pos
tai savings business done in New York
CITY alone as in the entire Dominion OF
Canada. 1t has increased 289 per cent
since 1912, with no increase in postal
facilities since that date.
Some Letter Figures.
The statistics of the postal depart
ment shows that in every single hour
OF day 100000 letters mailed, in ev-
cry day of the year 33,000,000 letters
are sent. and this year more than H.
000,000000 will be handled There are
1,125,000,00 postal cards sold each
year.
Debts to the amount of $1,500,000,-
900 are satisfied each year through the
sale of 100000 postal money or
ders The earth could be circled ten
times with the two rails on which the
mails are carried in the United States,
and postal employees use enough lead
pencils in one year to place one be-
hind the ear Of 100000 persons.
Public Is Blamed.
In New York city alone there are
100000 letters re-addressed each day
by clerks from city directories, and
there are 100000 undelivered let
tiers handled annually by the division
OF dead letters at Washington, all ow-
ing to the neglect of the public in ad-
dressing mail. The cost OF this service
to the taxpayers all comes back to the
careless individuals.
Each day $4,000 rural carriers go
out in the morning, serving 6,5O0000
families. and before shutdown every
day travel 100000 miles, total OF
353,000,000 miles every year over the
highways OF the country The postal
service uses 100000 miles of Irvine ev-
cry year, enough to girdle the earth
80 times. Mr.. Hayes figures that the
department will save $15,00000O in
the current year from appropriations
already made by congress without any
detriment to the service.

TIME NOT WHOLLY WASTED
Youth Missed Acquiring Academic
Knowledge, but Probably Learned
Something Worth While.

The pursuit of learning is not al
ways an easy matter, as a young stu
dent found who set forth from Bris-
bane to study at Edinburgh, for when
he reached the port of Falmouth he
found that, owing to having taken 200
days on the journey at sea, the term
was over. Contrary winds and other
contretemps accounted for the delay,
during which the crew had to set
about finding means of turning some
of the corn they were carrying as
cargo into bread. They found an OH
berry-mill-but the story is too long
to tell. 1t is one of the seas many
yarns, and leaves the conviction that
that student, If he Is worth his salt
will not object to having lost some on
