ROGERS NOTES

Torkel Linden, Andrew Waler, Will
Martin and Levi Etzell motored down
to Valley City last week and spent
the week in attendance at the Gum
mer trial that is now under way there
Levi Etzell reports very good
time at the Odd Fellows hall in Rog-
ers on Monday night. There was an
old time dance, the music being fur
nished by a voluntary orchestra, and
was an enjoyable affair. Dick Bezley
was called on for a couple Of songs
and to dance for the crowd and he
responded promptly. Mr.. Bezley is
real dancer for a man of 80 years. E.
McGarry and Miss Alice Farrell rem
dered a very nice duet. The hall was
we'll filled in spite Of the inclement
weather and the party did not break
up until 4:3O a. m.

our reports. This editorial is inspired
to show what lot of morbid curiosity
there is in a criminal case Of this ma
ture and we read time and time again
where women get so "daffy" over a
man who is awaiting trial for similar
offenses as this defendant is, by send
ing flowers and candy up to the Jail
as token of appreciation to him for
the diabolical work and crime he is
supposed to have committed. When
people get to such a state Of mind as
that there is something wrong with
them. Prisoners charged with helm
Gus offenses should be given every
opportunity to prove their innocence
but this sending candy and flowers to
them is rather sickening and decided
ly silly.

there he saw young man and young
lady come to the hotel and stated that
he later identified the young lady at
the morgue as being the same person

examination he admitted that the
slight glance he had given her when

GREAT WATERWAY A POSI-
BILITY

The approval by the international
Joint Commission Of the project for
connecting the great lakes with the
ocean by waterway through the st.
Lawrence river and a ship canal,
means, Of the United States and Ca
madam governments also approve OF
the project and make appropriations
therefor, that the ocean will be brot
within $50 miles of Beach and the
Golden Valley, for the project con-
templates waterway that will per-
nit seagoing ships and steamers to
dock at Duluth and Superior.
Everybody knows that water rates
are much less than rail tariffs, and
the completion of such a waterway
will mean directly millions Of dollars
in the farmers pockets and better
times for everybody. But there are
powerful influences at work against
this project, notably the congressman
and senators from the eastern states
and the people of New York to man.
The newer route would greatly lessen
the business and Importance of the
Erie canal, and remove from New
York a large part Of the terminal bus
mess that city now enjoys in the grain
trade. None of us want to do any
thing to injure that great city or the
good people of New York state, but
charity begins at HON, and we must
ever strive for those things that will
build up our part of the country and
spread prosperity more generally ov-
er the land.
This project is one Of the most es
sential things to northwestern well
fare and we are for it with all our
might, and there ought not to be a
dissenting voice in the west.-The
Beach Advance.

BOYS AND GIRLS
CLUB WORK PAYS

While the financial benefits of
boys and girls club work is one of
the least important of its advantages,
the work rewards the club members
financially, it is indicated by the re-
port Of the property owned, made by
the boys and girls attending the an
nual state boys and girls achieve
ment institute at the Agricultural
college late in December. The sum-
mary of the reports was made public
today by Harry E. Killing, state club
leader.
Sixty seven of the boys and girls
own an average of 1903 each in prop
erty of various kinds, the report show.
The property consists of liberty and
other bonds and war savings stamps,
bank accounts, livestock including
poultry, implements, furniture and
miscellaneous articles. The youths
own 81 bonds, mostly libety bonds,
having a par value of $1,002, and 288
war savings stamps with value Of
SOIL. The total value of the bank
discounts is $4,791.
The livestock includes heep, pigs,
cows and calves, and poultry, and to-
tails $4,317. The total value of the
farm crops grown by the boys and
girls is $1,031. The boys own i'm
Elements and other property valued
at $192, while the girls own furniture
and other property valued at $3.50.
This average of property does not
include the value Of the canned vege-
tables and fruits, baking and sewing
done by the members who reported.
The total value of the canned prod
ucts was $1,681. The total value of
the baking done was $671, and Of
sewing $767.
Sixty seven of the "a delegates
made the report. Of these, 20 were
in club work for the first year, and
the same number for their second
year; ID were doing their third year
of club work, seven their fourth year,
four the fifth year, and two their
sixth. Of the 81, nearly three fourths
or 81, were attending the institute
for their first time; ~ for the sec
ond time; three for the third time,
and one for the sixth.

speech so we are informed along the
line of retrenchment for the purpose
of bringing down taxes. His speech
was the keynote for economy in state
affairs and he held that it was no
time to go wild over spending mil
lions of dollars at this time parties-
larly for road purposes. While Gov.
Nestos is a good roads advocate he
is firmly Of the opinion that this is
no time to ask the people of this state
to vote millions of dollars for the Dsr-
pose of building roads-we should 60
along careful in these matters. 1t
means many added dollars of taxa
ton to every person in the state and
at this time when the tax payers are
carrying more than they are able
the warning of the governor to go
slow on these matters is pertinent at
this time. There is no one more
anxious for good roads than the ed
itor of this paper but we feel now
is the time to go slow. We are 60
ing somewhat wild on these matters.

there is the expense Of heating and
cleaning the gym after party, which
is covered by charge to outsiders
for the use Of it, but surely this added
cost would not be burden to the tax
payers if the students were allowed
the same privileges as outsiders. We,
as taxpayers, think the students
should not be denied the privileges
that are accorded persons having no
connection with the school.

Senator Laid has gotten both feet

tor Laid is evidently working hard
for the farmers by trying to get a

THE COMEBACK OF MIXED
JURIES

There are no social gains that do
not carry with them some social loss
es. Women now serve on juries, for
example, as part of their duties and
privileges as citizens. Late reports
indicate, however, that many women
find jury duty very unpleasant, if not
forbidding. They are not only called
upon to handle and deal with the
seamy side Of life, but they are COM
PEELED to do this in mixed company.
The possibility of loss in the sit
uation may be gathered from one or
two illustrations. If man or woman,
at dinner party or in a polite soci-
ETY., should bend the conversation I'M
duly to the Arbuckle case, such one
would be regarded little off color.
The host would have the right to feel
aggrieved. Yet men and women, I'M
known to each other, are today ex-
pected to consider together loathsome
details of any case.
Much the same thing is true of the
Stokes case, or of many others that
might be mentioned. In all these in
stances, matters which would be
Stunned in the thought and CONVEX
sation Of polite society, are given to
mixed juries, these days, without the
slightest reserve or conjunction.
SUCH a procedure surely carries
certain dangers and losses, with what
ever gains it brings. Native reserves
are necessarily cast aside, and there
are not honorable points of ignorance
left or allowed.
One of the finest elements in his
tory and in human life has been a
certain Difference and reserve that
men have instinctively borne toward
women. This native chivalry prompts
man to doff his hat, when meeting
woman, or to show other courtesies
that mark the gentleman.
This chivalric attitude toward wo-
men has been one Of the strongest
factors in keeping men up to high
level. The rudest kind of a man is
hardly without some sense of this
idealization. What will happen to
what is left of this chivalry, when
men and women, totally unacquainted
with each other, follow and discuss
together incidents and details that
would be barred out of any decent
family circle?
Not all of the new things in the
new social order are of unnitigated
good. Some of them have yet to
prove just how good they are. The
problem of gaining freedom, while
retaining the values Of chivalry, has
not yet been solved in modern So
ciety. In some instances the losses
may eventually prove to outweigh

President Harding has gone on rec
ord as being in favor of the Great
Lakes St. Lawrence waterway pro-
iect which is now before congress.
The president in taking this step is
likely to incur the dspleasure of the
fasteners, particularly the New York
bunch who are fighting the project for
all they are worth. New York Of
course realize that if this Great Lakes
project is put through--and it is go
ing through without any question,
that the port of New York is going to
lose lot of business that they are
now getting, but those who have Civ
en- this project consideration and
have the welfare Of the country at
heart, are in favor of it. This water
way project would mean the saving OF
millions of dollars to the farmers of
the west and middle west in freight
rates, it being estimated that it will
save from eight to twelve cents per
bushel in grain freight to get the
produce of the farm to the Liverpool
markets. Hasten the day when this
project shall become reality. Mr..
Harding may secure the displeasure
of New York and other eastern re-
publicans but his advocacy of this
measure will also secure for him
great deal higher admiration of the
farmers to the proposition and while
the New York millionaires may try to
head this legislation off we do not
think they will succeed.
The senior class of the High School
held a class party at the K. of P.
hall on Monday evening. Just why
should it be necessary for the men,
bers of the various classes Of the
high school to go to the expense OF
renting public hall for their parties
when the high school gym could be
used for the purpose? At the time
the new high school was built there
was considerable agitation as to wheth
er the students were to be allowed to
use the gym for dances and other
school activities. Questionaires were
sent out to the parents of the students
attending high school asking for their
opinion as to whether the gym should
be used for that purpose and we are
advised that the majority Of the par
ents were opposed to the proposition
Consequently students are denied that
privilege. However, we can see no
consistency in refusing the gym to
the students and allowing them to
hold their parties in hired hall. The
gymnasium has been used by people
outside of the school for basket ball
games, public dances and political
speeches while the gym is barred to
the students for school activities,-
and class parties and dances are as
much part of the school activities as
the course of study provided. The
parents opposing the proposition can
have no serious objection to their
children attending these functions as
all members of a class are resent
whenever any such party or dance is

difficulties the Seattle police are hav-
ing in keeping track of Hastings and
attempting to serve warrant which
they hold for his arrest in connection
with the looting of the Scandinavian
American Bank of Fargo. 1t seems
that they took his word that he would
appear when they wanted him. There
are number of people in this state
who have intimate knowledge of the
value of the word of Hastings. How
ever, it is to be hoped that they will
succeed in their efforts to take him
into custody and bring him before
the court to answer to the charge
against him. 1t is also hoped that the
authorities will make every effort to
see that every person having a hand
in the looting of this bank be brought
to trial, regardless Of their social or
business standing. A great many
people, who could i'll afford a loss at
this time. have lost considerable sums
in the failure Of the bank and the

answer for their prostitution of the

Gov. Nestos, in speech before the
county commissioners at jamestown
yesterday, emphasized very strongly
the need of retrenchment in eXpend1-
lures of the state and urged the coun-
ty dads to use every effort to keep
expenses down in order to reduce tax
alton. The governor pointed out that
in the last five years taxes have in
creased from fifty-siX and quarter
per cent to one hundred and seventeen
and six-tenths per cent. This is an
enormous raise in taxation and with
the state now at the end of its cash
resources on this account the state
administration wants the corporation
of the various counties of the state to
help reduce this taxation. The farm
ers of the state can not carry such
load with the low price of farm prod
ucts and the merchants cannot carry
such a load with business conditions
as they are.
