ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

5 Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone, died the morning of
Aug. 2, at his summer home at Bad
deck, Nova Scotia, Canada.
DIR. Bell was born in Edinburgh,
Scotland, March 8, 1847. He received
his education at Edinburgh high
school, Edinburgh University and the
University of London.
He came with his father to Canada
inl1870 and two years later moved to
Boston, Mass, becoming first a teach
er Of deaf mutes, ard later a profess
sor Of vocal physiology in the Univer-
sity of Boston. IT,:
In 1867 he began the study of voice
transmission by electric currents, and
after nine years Of research and ex-
pertinent, he invented the telephone in
1876. b: ss .,
The American Bell Telephone Com
pahy was organized in 1877 and in
the following year the first telephone
exchange under DR.. Bells patent was
established In 1879 the new method
of communication had become firmly
established as a. business and social
necessity and since that time it has
come into use in all parts of the world
until today there are more than 49,
100000 telephones in use throughout
the world, $4,000, 900 of them, or
about two-thirds of the worlds tele-
phones, being in the United States. ~
Immediately after the death. of DIR.
Bell, the following telegram was sent
TO the employees Of the Northwestern
Bell Telephone Company and Asso-
5ciated Companies Of the Bell System
by Harry B. Thayer, President Of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, commonly known as the
Z parent company Of the System:
'sIn behalf Of all the men and wo-
men of the Telephone System which
bears his name we extend our deep
est sympathy and express grief in the
passing Of Or. Bell. History viii Ne
cord the inestimable value OF his ser
vices to mankind, but we who are car

on his great discovery are peculiarly
appreciatiye of his genius. =

cannot make to exceed s per cent.
Just as suddenly many who ha'
formerly been for abandoning th
project because of it's cost to the Gov.
eminent turned champions of Govern
ment development, regardless that ]
meant spending many millions more
Then the men who had inveighe,
against government mismanagmen
of railroads and shipping suddenl.
became champions of government de
velopment and operation Of water
powers and nitrate plants. -
It appears that hatred Of Henr!
Ford, or dislike for his political views
is SO great that many men who detes
government ownership and govern
ment operation of industry are will
ing to swallow even that bad mouth
full rather than see Ford get Muscle
Shoals.
/ have analyzed the Ford PROPOSE.
tien carefully, and while objections
have been urged to some of it's de.
tails, l think the proposition in the
main is fair alike to the Government
and to Mr.. Ford. 1t might be we'll to
modify his plan in some of it's details
but l am sure that Mr.. Ford would
accept any notifications that were
within reason. We should avoid max
ing such radical notifications that
Ford, or any other man, would re-
fuse to undertake the work. We must
look out for that danger.
The situation makes apparent what
a hard fight is ahead of those Sena-
tors who wish to see Ford develop
Muscle Shoals, but I believe it is a
fight that in the end will result in
victory. I am convinced Ford can
handle this project in the way the
great majority Of the people of the
country wish to see it handled, and
I believe the people will back up the
men in Congress who are fighting to
bring this about and that majority
will finally be won over for it.
Victory may not come at this ses-
sion of Congress. The men who DOM t
like Ford, and the influences that
want to see no development of Mus
Gle Shoals, may combine with those
who wish to see the Government, and
no private agency, develop the prop
erty, but we shall fight hard to pre-
vent that from happening.
Losing a skirmish doesn't matter
If you finally win the battle. The
senator's who are backing the Ford
proposition as the only really practi-
cal proposal for the development of
Muscle Shoals for service in time of
war and to furnish the farmers of the
country with cheap fertilizers in time
of peace have big fight on their
hands and are in that fight for fin
ish. AS I see it, it is Ford and the
people or one side, and the Fertilizer
Trust and the private waterpower in
terests on the other. In the end Ford
and the people will win.

INTERESTING ADDRESS
ON ILLTERACY

| Wednesday evening Aug. 8, Mrs
Cora Wilson Stewart, Chairman Of ths
United States Illiteracy Commission
gave a very Interesting address, al
the Presbyterian Church, on the Illit.
eracy movement in the United States
T Mrs. Stewart was accompanied By
Miss Palmer, from the Superintendent
Of Public Instructions office at Bis
narck, who told of some Of the work
accomplished in this state and espec-
ially at the Penitentiary, which insti.
tuition boasts of no illiterates.
Mrs. Stewart stated that North Da-
kota has 9,937 illiterates, of which
number Bottineau county has 165, and
the purpose of the. organization in
North Dakota is to Danish ilEteracy
from the state by 1924. The slogan
for our state is "No Illiteracy in
North Dakota by 1924. .tt%
Mrs. Stewart addressed the State
meeting of the County Superinten-
dents at Fort Yates, N. D., the week
previous, and all Superintendents are
very enthusiastic over the work they
have set about to accomplish, that is
banishing illiteracy by 1924. The Su-
perintendents will be assisted I'M this
campaign by the Women's Clubs, who
have taken this subject as one Of the
main topics of study for the year.
= Night schools are being organized
in different towns of the state, Minot
Dickinson, Williston and others hav-
ing schools which have accomplished
much good. No doubt an effort will
be made to organize a right school
in Bottineau this winter. - -
Mrs. Stewart told some very inter
esting stories of the work done in
Kentucky, where she was the founder
of the Moonlight Schools. Kentucky
was the first state to start cam
paign against illiteracy, in 1911. To
prove the fact that one is never too
old to learn, she cited cases of mer:
and women who learned to read and
write, between the ages of eighteen
and ninety-four years. These people
would come to these Moonlight
School, after the days work.. walking
many miles, so eager were they to
learn to read and write. Over sixteen
hundred men ard women attended
these schools one winter.
- Mrs. Stewart is a very interesting
speaker and it is a regret that more
were not out to hear her, as it is very
seldom that Bottineau is visited by a
speaker of her ability. s -:
Mrs. Stewart was here under the
auspices of the Bottineau Woman's
Club.

STATE FUEL DIRECTORS

The Governor has designated the
Board of Railroad Commissioners as
Fuel Directors aid Distributors for
the State of North Dakota. The COM
mission is now engaged in making a
survey to determine the amount of
coal now available for distribution
and the amount of Ignite that will be
mined under present existing condi-
tons. A survey is also being made to
determine the amount of coal that will
be required by public utilities, govern
mental institutions, wholesalers, re-
tailers, industries and households. The
operators have been called in confer
ence at Bismarck for Wednesday,
August 9th, and in view of the fact
that the commission has also called
a conference on Ignite rates on the
same day, it is expected that there
will be large attendance.
The Commission will impress on the
operators the fact that they should
not take advantage of the present
emergency to increase the price of
coal. The increased profits should
come from greater volume Of business
and not from higher prices. The Com
mission requests that wherever posi-
BILE Ignite coal be burned so as to
permit use of eastern coal for thresh-
ing needs. An effort is being made by
the Commission to obtain sufficient
eastern coal to provide for threshing
operations.
Approaching the fact that many
people are not accustomed to burning
Ignite coal, the Commission has re-
quested Mr.. E. j. Babcock of Grand
Forks, to write a bulletin describing
the best methods of burning Ignite
both in ordinary stoves and il. furn-
aces. We have also inquired as to the
best methods of storing Ignite. s
y The Commission earnestly solicits
the cooperation of the people of North
Dakota in the present emergency. We
would like to be advised If dealers are
charging extortionate prices and will
also be pleased to receive suggestions
from the public. ,>,~

were outstanding among scores of ex-
hibits planned by the North Dakota
Agricultural College at the State
Fair ~ -~,. Il :.
i A good hen that produced 173 eggs
and the poor hen, in the next cage
that produced only 2s eggs and was a
marked contrast to the. bright eyed,
red combed, contented good hen were
a part of the demonstrations prepared
by the poultry department of the COL
.lege.
How good purebred sires increase
the dairyman's profit was shown 500
pounds Of butter in tubs representing
the yearly production of scrub cow.
The first generation after the use of
the pure bred sire showed an increase
Of 50 per cent in milk production and
So per cent In fat. The second genera
tion showed 180 per cent milk and 12s
per cent fat production increase. The
four steps to attain good milk pro-
duction were illustrated by flight
of stairs; the first step was labeled,
"Sterilize utensils" the second, "Clean
healthy cows" the third, "Small top
pals" and the fourth "CooT the Milk. +"
Visitors were given an opportunity
test of their cow Judging ability by
guessing which was the best milk pro-
ducer of eight cows from Stutsman
county cow testing association.
Demonstrations in the agricultural
building on the fair grounds by each
of the departments of the N. d. A.
G. showed interesting aspects of the
work and training offered to stu
dents. Sample sheets of books used in
the farm accounting and farm cost
accounting work was shown by the
agricultural economies department.
"This is the layout of the Bonsack
farm south Of Fargo" said Mr.. Mil
Ter, pointing to map on the wall,
"and this next map shows an ideal
layout for the same farm" Other ex-
hibits showed the work of the Chem
istry, Pharmacy, Home Economics,
Agronomy, Science and Literature,
Education and other departments of
the College.
"Club members have the key to bet
ter potato production" said sign
over the boys and girls club exhib-
its prepared by William Mortensen,
club leader in Cass County. The ex-
pertinent station had several exhibits,
the most outstanding among which
was the, Mandan pasture trials.
Crowds filled the grounds on the
first days as never before on the op-
ening day of the fair, and saisfac-
tory attendance of farmers and towns
people marked each days record, ac-
cording to fair officials.

FAIR NOTES 5

a dozen are being promoted i'm this
state this year. Minot and Dickinson
are planning big fairs for later in the
season and at this time contractors
are busy ON improvements on the
grounds to make ready for the events.
County Republican
+ Yes, Mr.. Groom, and we will also
take note of the success of the fairs
referred to above as fall fairs. We
have predicted that when farmers of
this state stop trying to farm the
whole earth and get down to small
er farms and diversity more that we
will all be holding fall instead of mid
summer fairs. These conditions are
fast approaching and we will view the
result Of the Minot and Dickinson
fall fairs with interest. =. u.
Mr.. Beaton informs us that he will
1consign about six head Of registered
Shorthons to the Livestock sale
planned for October ~at Bottineau.
This, is good start. Next. :@

Just now with their farming opera
tions, but we predict that enough
stock will be listed to insure splend-
id sale, the success of which win as
sure an annual livestock sale at Botti-
neau. There will be somewhat Of 9
handicap in the fact that the contem-
plated cattle barn and sale pavilion
Is not yet built, so the horse barn
will have to be used instead. A cattle
