tributed a very large share Of the
educational advantages Of the young
people of the rural, land also urban"
communities thirty to fifty years ago;
they were wonderful factors in the de-
velopment of the individuality of the
young man, or the young woman, and
brought them face to face with the
problems of using and applying the
knowledge gained in school.
These meetings not only gave them
experiences in LIES broader edu-
cational activities, but brought them
in closer touch with older members of
the community, which often gave
them broader view of life's re-
quirements, and also an inspiration
70 do, and to be, that which they had
not known before. And many of our
Successful men and women of to-day,
look back with pleasurable pride to
these old time meetings, that did so
much to arouse their ambitions, and
broaden their visions of life's pos
sibilities.
But how about the young people Of
today in your community, where no
encouragement are you giving them
What provisions have you made for
their individual development? What
is there in the community to arouse
their ambitions, or broaden their Wis
ions of LIES opportunities?
Oh, Father, mother, this is a seri
Gus matter, let us ponder we'll; and if
we have not done our duty, then will
we blame the young people, if in their
hunger for entertainment, and their
thirst for companionship, they go to
the dance hall, the picture show, and
the pool hall, when there are no other
opportunities for recreation, and no
effort being made to direct them to a
higher social and moral standard.
If the parents and older members
OF these communities are not satisfied
with conditions, and are not reconciled
to organize a grange as social and
educational community center, where
both old and young can meet together
on a common level for the entertain
ment, advancement and up-building
of rural life.
We must admit that the home life
Of family, and the tendency of the
children in the home, is governed
largely by the standards of the COM
munity life by which the home is sur
rounded. So dear reader, if you live
in community where a good grange,
or some other social and educational
center is successfully maintained, you
are exceedingly fortunate, indeed.
And l trust you will do all in your
power to help give to all other young
people an equal opportunity for in
diVidual DEVELOPMENT and preparation
for helpful, efficient, useful life.

Deplorable Rural Conditions

have had so much to say through
the columns of The Independent, with
regard to what the grange is, what
it has accomplished, and what it pur-
poses. to do, that l seem to hear some
say, "Oh, give us rest!" But when
| think of the hundreds of rural dis
tricts in this state, where there are
no public meetings of any kind being
held, no church, no sunday schools, no
literary societies or debating club;
not single opportunity given the
boys and girls, the young men and
young women in the community, to go
on with their general work after they
have quit the public schools; no chance
to learn to speak, not even to sing in
public, or to take part in, or to con-
duct public meeting; no opportunity
to develop leadership, because there
way OF an organization or public
enterprise for them to lead. In fact
there seems to be lack Of public
spirit or enterprise in most rural COM
munities.
When l think of all these deplorable
conditions as they exist in many, very
many, rural districts over our fair
state, and then call to mind that it is
in just these same communities that
parents and older members of the COM
munties, roar and howl and say that
all the young people Of today think of
is to play cards, run to dances, picture
shows and pools halls.
1t makes me feel like saying that
we should have compulsory law in
this state, that would compel the
parents and older members of these
communities to provide some oppor-
tunity, and some encouragement, for
these young people to prepare for
useful citizenship, by having them
make use of the basic education that
our compulsory school law now re-
quires the child to receive.
Now parents, the conditions above
referred to are all too common and has
caused many sleepless nights, and
many anxious moments, but, they are
not altogether beyond your control.
Instead of bowling about the frivolity
of the young people, we must come to
realization of the responsibilities
that rest on us. And we must assume
our share of these responsibilities
that rest on US. And we must as
sumo our share Of these responsible
ties, of providing some better social
and educational entertainments that
will take the place of the amusements
that we are so prone to condemn.
The young people are not alone to
blame. They are as progressive, in
telligent, sedate and dependable, as
the conditions under which they have
been born and reared warrants them
to be. And here lies the great danger
to rural life in North Dakota. And
also to the future status Of the citizen
ship of our state as a whole. The out
look for progressive, virile citizenship
in such communities is at best not
very encouraging.

the beginning of this article, con-

Nonpartisans of Northwestern North
Dakota Met in MinOt
Nearly fifty prominent members of
the nonpartisan league met in Minot
Sunday and discussed the plan for
the spring campaign.
District meetings are being held
throughout the state. A similar
meeting was held at Williston Mon
day. Former Governor Lynn J. Fra
zier and former Commissioner of
Agriculture Hagan, attended the
meeting.
Nothing definite was decided upon,
an effort merely being made to Sc
cure the sentiment of the delegates.
The proposed plan of A. C. Townley,
president of the National organi-
cation of the league, to use the league
as balance of power, was one of
the subjects discussed. This plan is
not meeting with much favor in North
Dakota and it is very doubtful if it
will be carried out in this state.
No candidates were endorsed for
this will be left to the county con-
ventions to be held about March 16
and to the state convention to be held
a few days later, possibly March FL.

Many Having Cars Re-painted

o. o. Kerr, who is in charge of the
Minot Auto Paint Shop, reports an
unusual lot of business. People are
disposed to fix up their old cars and
making them last as long as practic-
able, which is not a bad idea consider
ing conditions. Mr.. Kerr is one of
the very best automobile painters in
the state and he has hundreds Of first
class jobs to his credit. 1t costs all
the way from $500 to $50 90 to paint
a car, which means burning off the old
paint and giving the car two coats Of
paint, making it look as bright as
when it first came out of the factory.
A good car ought to run 100000
miles or more before it is put into
the discard and frequently they are
run much farther. Joe Hodgins has
White bus that is said to have run
100000 miles or as far as around the

MARC0NI REALLY
FATHER OF RADIO
Story Of the Gifted Italians
Work In Development Of Air
Communication.

While experiments along the line
OF radio really started as far back as
1927 and hundreds of scientists were
interested in solving the problems in
VOWED for many years, it was not I'M
til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo
Marconi took out his first patent that
the mastery of air communication got
its first great impetus. His life his
tory is to all practical intents the his
tory Of radio communication.
Senatore Guglielmo Marconi G. G.
V. O., L. L. D., Disc. M. I. e. E., was
born in Bologna, Italy, April 25, 1874
His mother was Irish, while his father
was Of family whose mechanical
ability was marked. After an edu-
cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the
young man interested himself in the
problem of wireless telegraphy, start
ing his research in 1896 He went to
England and in 1896 took out the first
patent ever granted for a practical
system of wireless telegraphy, by the
use of electric waves. His early ex-
periments in England were made at
,Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward
Marconi saw w. H. Preece and
at his request made some experiments
for officials of the postoffice Some
further experiments were made in
May, 1897, in the Bristol channel,
wireless communication being estab-
lished between Lavernock and Brean
Down, distance of nine miles.
On the invitation of the Italian
government Marconi afterward went
to Spezia where a land station was
erected, which was kept in constant
communication with two Italian bat
tleships working from a distance Of
IL miles. For this success the Ital-
ian government conferred upon Mar
conf the honor of knighthood. After
a return to England further expert
ments were conducted and on July 20,
1897, the first radio company was
formed and two permanent stations
erected. In 1898 wireless reports of
yacht races in Kingston were made
and proved the usefulness and adapt
ability to which the system lends it.

Heavy Tourist
Travel Predicted
SPECIAL RAILROAD RATES
TO ACCOMMODATE
$751;, TRAVELLERS.

Tourist travel to Minnesota is ex.
pected to begin much earlier thar
usual this season, and summer tour
list railroad fares will be put into
effect May 18th, two weeks earlier
than usual, to accommodate travellers,
according to announcement of the
Ten Thousand Lakes Of Minnesota
Association. The special fare and
one-half rate will prevail from May
18th to September 80, carrying stop
over privileges and return limit up
to October 31st.
inquiries that are being received
daily at the headquarters of the Ten
Thousand Lakes of Minnesota Asso-
citation indicate that the interest in
fishing and in the lake resorts will be
unprecedented this year. More in
quiries have been answered than in
any other previous season, up to this
time, and resort keepers report their
reservations are far in excess of the
number usually on hand at this time
of the year. Preparations are being
made for the largest season in the
history of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association.
Minnesotans will be particularly in
terested in a special weekend rail-
road rate for trips from the principal
railroad points to various lake re-
sorts. This rate will be on the basis
of one and one-tenth fare for the
round trip, or approximately the old
one-way fare with war tax. This
schedule of rates will go into effect
May 10Th and will continue through
out the summer. Weekend rate
tickets may be purchased Friday and
Saturday and will be honored on the
return trip until midnight of the fol-
lowing Monday. 1t is believed this
schedule will stimulate intrastate
travel during the summer vacation
season, and will attract many more
thousands of city jewellers to the lake
resorts in all parts of the State.
Many new hotels and cottages have
been built throughout the State and
the communities are getting their
camping grounds in shape to take
care of the visitors. 1t is the object
of the Ten Thousand Lakes of Min
nesota Association to make the tour
lists visit to Minnesota so enjoyable
that they not only will come again
but will bring other tourists with
them.

there are charts showing the elective
officials of the state; there is data or

hensive but readable chapters on Elec-

whole is most carefully indexed.
Members of the League in Mime
sofa will be proud of the fact that
this book is not only an important
contribution to it's work of political
education in this state but that it re-

national undertaking. Last Deem
Der the Institute of the National
Leagues Efficiency in Government
Department held in Chicago voted to
ask each state to publish simple &C
curate summary of it's own election
laws before the next primary election.
Minnesota is the first state to COM
plete it's summary. Ohio will be the
second, publishing a similar book in
May.
The Minnesota League feels Miss
Harrison's book to be valuable con-
tribution to the state and hopes that
men and women will avail themselves
of it. There is nothing that makes
the Digest more valuable to one sex
than to the other. 1t is needed by
every voter-man or woman.

If one but looks around he can
see plenty of people who in spite of
what some would call bad luck have
made a success of their lives. One
of the most remarkable stories of
achievement is that of Helen Keller.
Helen Keller was born deaf and
blind. Last week she spoke to an
audience of three thousand in Mime
apolis. By unremitting toll she learn
ed to speak, attended school until
she graduated from one of the prom
inent eastern colleges with honor,
learned to speak two languages be-
sides English, and is an authority on
mathematics and economics.
To see this woman is an object
lesson in achievement. To the per-
severing there is no bad luck.-Whea-

Election Laws
Clearly Stated

An accurate readable and COM
prehensive digest and description OF
the system of laws under which we
live in the State of Minnesota has
been carefully prepared by the State
League of Women Voters and has
received the approval of the Attorney
General. The book has been publish
ed in handy form with carefully in
dented paragraph heads, on excellent
paper, in clear readable type and is
now being circulated by the League
for the very small sum of twenty-five
cents which does not of course cover
the cost of publication and the ex-
perts' time taken for its preparation.
It can be had on application to the
State Headquarters, 321 Meyers
Arcade, Minneapolis. The work OF
preparation has been ably and pain
stackingly done by Miss Gladys Har-
rison, the Leagues State Executive
Secretary, who is assured that her
work is as accurate as it can be
made, humanity speaking.
The book is intended primarily for
the use of study groups and for in
dividual voters, but its usefulness to
election officials, candidates, and poll
tical committees is already being de-
monstrated by the orders being re-
ceived for it.
Perhaps the most attractive feature
of the Digest of Minnesota Election
Laws is the use Of graphic methods in
displaying facts otherwise dull. Bal

Information, About
Soldier Insurance

District No. 10 of the United States
Veterans Bureau announces that a
campaign will be instituted on May
LIST, for the purpose of reinstating and
converting United States Government
insurance policies of ex-service men
and women. ..
There is apparently general i'm
preston among those formerly iden-
titled with the service, who have al
lowed their insurance to lapse, that
they are no longer entitled to the pri-
vilege of carrying a policy with Gov
eminent. This is not the case, how
ever. Insurance can be relnstated
any time up to March 3rd, 1926, re-
CARELESS of when the last payments
were made. The only exception to
this rule is in the case of those who
are permanently and totally disabled
or are suffering from disability
which is not due to their military ser
vice. Although it is not necessary to
reinstate this insurance until March
3rd, 1926, there are many advantages
in doing so at this time, and it is be-
cause of these advantages that the
Government is now inaugurating this
campaign in the states of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Montana.
A man who converts or reinstates
his policy during this drive will pay
smaller premium than if he waits
for several years. He will at the
same time be building up cash loan
value; and if he has limited pay
ment. policy it will mature earlier.
Then too, many men who are in good
health at the present time may not be
able to reinstate a few years from
now due to some disability which they
might contract in the meantime. No
man, especially one who has depen-
dents, should be without insurance,
and for ex-service men the govern
ment offers the best, cheapest and
safest policy.
In addition to yearly renewable
term insurance, the government issues
six different plans of permanent forms
of insurance. Ordinary life, twenty
and thirty payment life, twenty year
and thirty year endowment and en-
dowment at the age Of sixty-two.
