LONGER GERMAN WORK

Reparations Are Paid
By the Associated Press

BERLIN. November 1l.-Germany
must work two hours more daily for
ten or fifteen years in order to be able
even to exist. the imperial economic
council was told by Hugo SHINES, the
industrial ma gnate. in a speech pub
lished today by the Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung.
Herr SHINES dwelt upon the un-
productivity of the country and es-
timated that it must produce at least
100000 900 gold marks more a month
to live. Then what would ensue
would be the possibility of having
something with which TO pay repara-
tions
A loan of 500. 100000 gold marks
now would merely be wasted within
a few months, he told the council.
The people. he fought. could be in
duced to work longer hours IL the
entente withdrew the army of occupa-

THE ORIGIN OF THE
NONpARTISAN LEAGUE

Duluth Herald: Princeton univer-
sity reports that its fossil collection
has been enriched by the acquisition
of the skulls Of a giant Lilanothcre,
Of several saber-toOthcd cats and of
some three-toed horses They were
found last summer in the Bad Lands
Of South Dakota by group Of paleon-
tologists sent out by Princeton. Pro-

wsls' along, probably to escape for
Will q the sniping in the Irish capital.
!. Certainly these discoveries are
thrilling.yl 1t is ,coniectured that the
,titanothere originates from a Bur
bankian arrangement D., between the
threertoed horse and, the saber- tooth
ed. cat, and following evolutionary
fines that the Nonpartisail league
leaders of North Dakota are lineal
descendants from the titanothere
WHICH {, ,irherKqdg and i,tfansmittcd the
more p1hminaht %feAtlAeS of its ances-
tors.
But this mere territorial hypothesis
cannot be tinail ly@ wichout
more proof than is now available
Mere resemblance. in characteristics
is not sufficient. s~1t is objected also
that the Nonpa rtisan league leaders
Americans except the Indians, do, and
therefore. they could not possibly.5bc
descendants of the titanothere.
This objection is strong; and vet it
is remembered on the authority of
our own Ignatius Donnelly, himself a
doughty Lacquer in spirit, that in an
cient geologic days when the titan
othere was in being, a great continent
named Atlantis existed where the AT
lantic ocean, now rolls. This Allan
It's perhaps formed land link be-
tween America and Europe, and it is
believed that the titanothere, which
was grega lious and migratory, would
easily have; pastured it's way to Eu-
rope and become the remote ancestor
Of the present Nonpartisan Chiefs
1t is not disputed that the evidence
in support of.Sthis theory is tenuous.
|At thc same time, what was the smys-
terious call, the $jrresistible urge, sthr
fhoming instinct that, brought these
/ militant leaguers after the lapse .sof
geologic tinle3to the Dakotas? Were
they not retuTning TO their ancient
haunts XII. ...
!; It IS true that these skulls were
found In South Dakota and our leag
uers: are mainly in North Dakota but
that circumstance is not important.
Indeed, it is reasonable to assume
that the titanothere was driven from
what is now South Dakota to the Bad
Lands further north by the sabe1'-
.toothed cats who had neither pride
! in, nor love for, their descendants and
relations, the titanothercs. But real

V. E. Stenersen, assistant states
attorney of Ward county, is making a
particularly strong and pleasing cam
paign for election as states attorney
on Nov. Z.
AS rule, the Ward County 1nde-
pendent does not interest itself to any
great extent in the election of candi-
dates for county office, but in this par

all advocates of good government
should take off their coats and work
for the election Of Mr.. Stenersen.
This is very important office. The
man who is to be elected our states

Mr.. Stenersen is elected, you can rest

jury 10 inyqstigate' the attitude of
lof the witnesses in the case.
"Rerjury will not be permitted to
stalk in this court room," Colonel
llildrrth remarked
There Is no question but what at
least two of the witnesses in the
Rccd-l,ano case perjurod themselves.
The defendants, former Minot officers
were charged with transporting lquor
from the Martin Gilbertsen farm
GiIbcrtsrn and Cliff WentZ, the lat
ter serving time in the state peniten-
tiary for the theft of an automobile,
testified that they had seen Reed and
Lano carrying Wentz's whiskey from
a hog lot on the Gilbertsen farm to
two autos, and start away with it.
This story was denied by the defend
ants and Geo. Wartchaw who claimed
that they had gone to the Gilbertsen
farm looking for high jackers.
There We're two witnesses against
these three. Some Of them perjured
themselves on the witness stand
The defense claimed that Gilbert
sen testified as he did because he
wanted to save. himself from prosecu-
ton for permitting his farm to be a
endezvous for whiskey runners. They
declared that Wentz testified as he
did because he. was 'sore" at John
Reed because the latter had received
$3.50 reward for the return of WentZ's
Cadillac.
One of the jurors knew Wentz well
The man while a awhiskey runner
stopped frequently at his hotel. Wentz
told this juror shortly after he hah
lost his Whiskey and his car that he
thOt Reed knew where his car was
but did not know who took his whis-
key, but he suspected that high iackers
had taken it. i
The Courier News Sunday morning
printed this about the thre atened in
vestgiation:
Colonel NJ. A. Hildreth, United
Stat district attorney, will ask q
grand jury to investigate conditions
in Minot. The district attorney SAID
it had been brot to his attention that

Salisbury Wants
A Fish Hatchery

Salisbury, Md. Dec. 28-Salisbury
is making a bid for the establishment
in this city of fish hatchery fol-
the propagation of bass, trout and
game fish of like character for the
purpose of stocking the ponds and
rivers in this section of the State.
Many species Of fish that formerly ex-
listed in the streams of the Eastern
Shore are rapidly becoming extinct
it is said land by this means it is
hoped to replenish the stocks.
That such a project is feasible and
will, if adopted give good results is
evident from the success resulting
from the stocking of the water in
this section with black bass a few
years ago. These have multiplied
manifold and today furnish a great
deal of sport to the fishermen, be-
side providing a nutritious and
valuable food. Bass weighing from
to IL pounds have been caught in
tho Wicomico river.
By the stocking of streams with
trout and other fish, it is believed by
those encouraging the project that
the water could be developed into
valuable fishing grounds. 1t is I'M
derstood that site for the hatchery
is under consideration, and if it can
be obtained on proper basis, the en-
terprise will soon be In operation.

Are COLLEGE DEGREES
ASSETS OR LIABILITIES?
Educators Discuss Employment De
partment Head Structures.

Washington. Dec Is Capital
News Service) 1.-The Director of the
District of Columbia Public Employ
ment Department has published sta
tistics showing that comparatively
few college men who apply for posi-
lions are capable of earning more
than ten or twelve dollars a week,
and that employers prefer nondegree
men for clerical work.
cit is almost impossible to place q
college graduate in a position owing
to the lack Of qualifications needed
in the business and industrial world
to-day" said the director. These
applicants want executive positions
for which they are not fitted and
which are very few.
ION the other hand, the employers
don't want college graduates. Ihey
state that employees of this kind are
untitled for the work and are always
expecting increases, which they are
not deserving They are very unsat-
isfactory and it is a rarity that they
last any length of time"
Records of week show that more
than 100 persons the department was
unable to place had received degrees
from some of the most prominent
colleges in the country. The few
whom the department Accommodated
accepted positions of a clerical ma
ture at salaries beginning at SIS
week Applications with business
or technical training and those will
ing to accept laboring or domestic
positions were quickly placed.
Educators who discuss the report
say that the fault is not with the col
lege or the degrees, but the man.
They contend that a college degree is
an indication of it's possessor haV-
ing spent a certain amount of time,
and obtained a certain number OF
scholastic credits by acquiring GER
tain amount of knowledge; but not
necessarily knowledge desired by
business houses in employing clerks.
It was suggested by one authority
that the most expert bookkeepers'
typist and stenographer in the world
would not be worth five dollars
week as a doctor, lawyer, a chem
list, or an engineer. why, then,
he continued "blame the colleges
which prepare a man, at his own re-
quest, for academic and philosophical
pursuit, because his knowledge is not
that desired by those who would EN-
ploy bookkeepers and stenographers?
The fault. contend the educators is
in the sending of boys and girls to
college to study abstract subjects
when in future they will have to
earn their living by practical effort,
and not in the college which does but
give to it's customers the goods they
demand. There are plenty of insti-
tutions teaching the art of making
living, it is pointed out, for those
who wish to put in their college
years in preparation for money max
ing.
