MAIL ORDER COMPETITION

Here IS an editorial from the Will
liams County Farmers Press that is
logical and especially timely at this
season. 1t applies to Wolf Point as
well as the Williston community.
"The mail order houses have
started their regular fall advertis-
ing campaign. During the last few
weeks tons Of catalogs have been
dumped into the Williston postof-
flee and distributed over the terri
tory that surrounds this city. To
many, the mail order catalog holds
a bewitching charm. Here all the
var of the vendor are listed in at
tractive display. Things look good
on paper and more stress is laid up
on price than quality. To others the
catalog offers the only opportunity
they have to select the things that
they need for their home and choose
their needs from those items listed
at prices that they think they can
afford to pay.
"Some people buy from the cata-
log houses because they think they
are saving money. The majority
who patronize mail order firms would
buy in Williston if they were con-
WINGED they could do so as cheaply.
But the trouble is, too often, they
are not given a means of compari-
son with what the home merchant
has to offer unless they visit his
place of business and look over his

MAYOR THOMPSON ON
The WATER SITUATION

Although a quorum was not pres.
ent Mayor Thompson at the CITY
council meeting Monday evening
presented a communication stating
the condition Of the city water sup
ply and the necessity for increasing
the amount of water available.
The communication reads as fol-
lows:
To the city council:
During the past eighteen months.
this city has several times been
threatened with a water famine. On
two occasions the attention of the
water users has been called to this
shortage by means Of hand bills; al
so by notice in the local paper. At
the outset / was inclined to the opin-
ion that the apparent shortage was
occasioned by reason of some defect
in u pumping equipment. I be-
lieve the pump in the old we'll has
been o%verhauled and the new well
was dynamited, casing subsequently
pulled, screen removed, pump over
hauled and yet the results are far
from satisfactory. The maximum
volume furnished by both wells to-
day appears approximately one hum
bred twenty thousand gallons.
"This would no doubt meet the
requirements of a city Of our size
in its incipient stage; but totally in
adequate to meet the requirements
of a city of modern homes, extern
sive sewerage system, numerous
lawns, large hotels, restaurants, ga
RACES, and numerous other concerns
requiring water for a thousand and
one purposes.
"The condition that confronts
Wolf Point today calls for more
pumping facilities and an enlarged
supply. This need is immedi-
ate. 1t is imperative. For our future
requirements I express no opinion.
For u present necessity I suggest
an additional we'll located in close
proximity to our two present wells

number two well now in use and

BUILD FIRE-SAFE

Seldom does the editorial page
"scoop" the news columns. This is
an exception. A tremendous disas-
ter occurred today. Property valued
at $1,466, 744.44 was wiped out and
Al persons lost their lives by fire.
The destruction proceeded continu-
ously through the "a hours; every
hour $61,115.60-every minute ST.
O18.59-every second $16.97 was
wiped out.
This is another way of stating what
the National Board of Fire Under
writers, the highest authority on the
subject, tells us-namely that our
national fre-loss is $535,372, 1872.
This by way of calling attention to
National Fire Prevention Week, De-
tober 40.
What this means may be com
pretended from a few comparisons.
Our annual production of gold and
silver is $1O3,119,7 41-less than
one-ffth of annual fire loss. AS
a people, we produced wealth of ST.
900,287,000 in our 1922 corr crop;
but we wasted more than % per
cent of that amount by fire. Our
1922 cotton crop amounted to ST.
1872, 461 900; our fire loss was A per
cen of that sum. In 1923 we paid
our Government internal revenues,
excluding income and inheritance
taxes, totaling $3O9, O15.O5O. We
wasted by fire the same year more
than half again as much as Uncle
Sam collected in these revenues.
What is the cause of this loss?
Fire department chiefs, insurance
actuaries and other experts tell us
that rs per cent of our fires are
partly or wholly p%reventable, the
results of one form or another of
carelessness. Carelessness is GER
tainly to be denounced. But it is a
delusion to think that the time ever
will come when it will not be neces-
sary to forestall the results of care
l~essness.
In this and five other states,
%"stoves, boilers, furnaces and their
are most frequent causes Of
fires and f~re-losses. If the rooms
and Easements in which stoves, fur
naces and boilers are located were
entirely encased, as they should be,
with incombustible material, fres
originating from this cause would
be minimized, and if pipes and fues
were properly insulated from the
wooden and other construction which
makes them dangerous, the total fire
loss would be materially reduced.
For the fundamental cause of COM
oustibility. And the way to fore
stall the results Of ca~relessness is to
build fre-safe. We must either adj
NIT that we "'build to burn" or ac-
cept the challenge of the new slo- !
gan Guild Fire-safe." {

BACK TO SCHOOL
eau Claire (Wis.) Leader)


This is the season of vacations but
soon it will end and the question
will arise in many family councils
as to whether son or daughter is to
continue in school or return to other
labors. We use the expression
other labors," feeling there is a
sound reason for the belief that ev-
cry child of high school age should
have some manual task to perform
side by side with the educational
duties, not only to reveal the pro-
pensities Of the individual but to
create a wholesale respect for man
ual labor by Young America.
Parents at times err in letting age
be the determining factor as to when
a school career should terminate.
Our compulsory attendance laws can
not be prophetic and have no magic
power; the degree of training neces-
sary to meet the probable future
aims and interests of the individual
child should form the basis for the
decision.
Adolescents are often tempted by
the man of the world Of bust
ness or by the desire to acquire more
spending money to abandon the COM
pletion of their education. They
lack the foresight to see that a pre-
mature entrance into the highly
competitive fields of commerce can
do them no good. They are in a
period Of rapidly changing ideals and
there is little assurance that their
own plannings Of today will meet
their needs of tomorrow. Maturer
natures must extend a directing
hand.
In country the individual is
largely ranked by his degree of
leadership. We occupy positions at
various steps of the ladder from the
top rung to the lowest. A good edu-
cation is today essential to a com
handing place. It is because OF

EXCURSIONS IN

Dean of Men, University of Illinois.
Punctuation

THERE are various Ways Of punc-
4 tuating the beginnings and end
ings of a letter as there are Of setting
off the different parts of the address.
Each Of these has it's own advocates.
and each system can find its justifica-
ton in the regulations set down in
the myriad of textbooks that cumber
the shelves of the book stores. and of
our Libraries. You can prove that al
most any method of punctuation is the
best If you set out to do so. Punctua-
ton is like remedies for rheumatism:
every one has his own sort, and can
cite you instances where it has proved
a marvellous panacea.
The best thing 1 can say about pune
tuation is that every one should adopt
a method of his own and follow it
punctiliously until it becomes auto
matte. If in writing a letter one has
to stop and scratch his head to de-
termine whether he shall use a comma
or a colon following the complimentary
beginning, he has not trained himself
adequately. If at one time he uses a
semi-colon and the next a comma and
a dash, there is nothing settled about
his method, and it is likely to be a
kind of hit or miss process.
Even when l was young, not to go
back too far into ancient history, there
was much more formality in letter
writing than at the present time. We
could begin our letters, "Honored Sir"
and close them with, "Your Most Hum
bic and Obedient Servant" with every
word capitalized for emphasis, but
nothing like that goes. Formality is
now reduced to a minimum both in
phrasing and in punctuation, and we
must all follow the styles in this par
ticular as meticulously as we do in
choosing our straw hats, and our win
ter overcOats.
In many instances when a colon
once used we now use a comma,
or a comma and a dash, and in many
cases where punctuation was once
thought necessary, the marks are left
out entirely. For instance, we once
.unctuated the address and the com
plimentary beginning of a letter as

Chicago, Illinois
My dear Sir
If in the above illustrations, mich
igan" or avenue" should be abbre-
Waited, then a period should be used
to indicate this a~bbreviation, in addi-
ton to the comma. AS l have said at
another time, it is not wrong to use
authorizations, but the most careful
people very seldom do so.
In writing the complimentary close
to a letter, as very truly yours" or
yours very truly" or "Truly yours"
or yours truly" or any similar COM
bination, only the first word is capt.
talized, and the phrase is followed by
a comma. The complimentary close
is written somewhat to the right of the
middle of the page.
If written in full, the date lines may
be punctuated as follows:
81 East Main Street,
Rantoul, Illinois,
July s, 1924.
If the writer so desires, the pune
tuation marks may be omitted from
the end Of the lines. 1t is never cor
rect to place a comma between the
month and the date (July 81, though
if the names of the month, or the
street, or the state are abbreviated,
should be followed by a period.
The use of figures, and dashes to pune
~ IA Ifvido tHo cOnouo+o vou4.
Of the date, is often employed, as,
33-7-24," but it is careless, confusing,
and not authorized by any good author
ty. Few people, OF the spur of the
moment could name the seventh or
he ninth month much more readily
hen they could tell the fourth or the
ixth commandments. One would usu-
lily have to stop and count in either
ase.
The %indenting of paragraphs Is i'm
The beginning of a new para
raph should be shown by beginning

%indentations should be regular
nd even, as they are in a printed
ook, which any one may consult if he
oes not understand what I mean An
yenly indented page looks heater and
etter ordered than one not so done.
As to the punctuation of sentences,
still must capitalize proper names,
nd each sentence must, in the regu-
n way, indicate it's close. Short SEN
.nces need little punctuation, but
)mpound sentences should have their
arts separated at least by commas.

WASHINGTON SURPRISED.

WASHINGTON, April 27. - It's
psychological effect outside of Ger
many rather than what it may por-
tend as a new direction in German
politics appears to be the chief con-
Germ in official circles here in view
ing the triumph of Field Marshal
Won Hindeburg IN yesterdays election.
Continued official silence on the
election did not conceal today a re-
action of surprise bordering on shock,
with the generally held view that
Germany has taken a step that is al
most certain, for a period at least,
to hinder her progress toward recup-
Grafton from the war.
Besides the suspicion which gov
eminent and diplomatic observers
here are known to feel will result
from the Hindenburg election, partic-
uIarly in France, its chief effect for
Germany IS expected in the result of
the attending uncertainties on the
attitude of financial interests on both
sides Of the Atlantic. It is felt that
complete execution of the Dawes plan
IS almost certain to be still further
delayed with certain effect on the
restoration Of Europe to a sound
