Line fishermen at Lake Koshkonong
are replacing snags and brush piles
in the lake. They claim that baby
game fish need the brush and snags
to hide away from the voracious elder
fish who live on them.
And Dick ART, Menasha sportsman,
wants a law outlawing pickerel, which
he claims are destructive of other

What do you think of these heresy
trials anyhow? The Paris (Mo) APP
peal says:
"They are sending me to hell" This
cry of anguish was uttered by Prot
estant bishop whose brethren were
trying his for heresy in Ohio last
week. Poor nut! He may have been
having a hell of time, but the boys
who were sitting in judgment on him
could not have sent him to a calaboose
which is man-made institution, much
less to eternal torment where the
worm dieth not and the fire is not
quenched. What would become of
God and the judgment day, if our
neighbors could act as recruiting
agents for the devil when we failed to
see things through their ecclesiastical
glasses"
Heresy, it seems, is a difference in
opinion.

Getting the TOe-hOld.
At Omaha, couple of young sol
diers, 10 and q, got leave to spend
the weekend in the city. They en-
tered grocery store and attempted
to hold up the proprietor's wife at the
point of a gun. The grocer heard what
was going on from his living rooms
upstairs. He took double-barreled
shotgun and riddled the youthful
trooper bandits like a sieve. Both
were dead when people rushed in.
This is not a romantic conclusion.
The young men may have dreamed OF
easy money and if caught, a refined
prison sentence. They got what was
coming to them. More of the same
kind of medicine would work wonders
with outlaws. Fear remains the
greatest corrective in the world where
reason and good sense do not guide
Alright. Punishment, swift and sure
will deter people from crime where
they lack innate desire for good cit

Robert Ridgeway, New York en-
gineer, was elected president of the
American Society of Civil Engineers.
Ridgeway never took a college en-
gineering course. He learned his pro-
fession by humble steps, first as a
chairman, rodman, instrument man
and finally surveyor. But he did not
stop there. He began building huge
bridges and planning railroads. To-
day he stands at the top of his pro-
fession in this country.
A college course is a fine thing just
as a common school or a high school
are fine things. They are not indis-
pensable things. Many of the greatest
men in history never saw the inside of
a schoolhouse. Abe Lincoln studied by
the light of blazing pine knots his
poverty and limited ownership OF
books combining him to the great
minds of the ages. When he wanted
a new book he would walk miles to
borrow it. Thomas Edison was tel
egraph messenger and later an opera
tor. Still later the worlds greatest
inventor. Andrew Carnegie ran er-
rands around the steel MILL. tow
headed little Scotch lad. Charles NJ.
Schwab, his protege, was mill me-
chanic with taste for metallurgy.
Marshall Field began as humble
merchant. And so on, ad infinitum.
Some men with college training sue
coed and many fail. Some men with
no training except self-training make
the greatest successes of all. There
is no royal road to fame and power.
The school of experience is the best
school of all.

RATE
CHANGES ASKED
by N. ID. BOARD

A complaint making a sweeping at
tack on practically all class rates
in North Dakota has been filed with
the United States interstate COM
merce commission by the board of
railroad commissioners Of North Da-
kota.
Similar complaints are likely to
be made by the railway commission
of South Dakota, Kansas and Ne
braska covering the same classes of
rates for their respective states and
the case will thus vitality effect the
entire middle west and northwest
sections Of the country.
The state commission has attack
ed:
The rates between all points in
North Dakota on the one hand and
points in Minnesota, more particu-
larly, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth on the other as compared to
rates between points within the
state of Minnesota, it being held
that the North Dakota rates are
higher, mile for mile, than the Min
neseta. rates, and are therefore un-
just and excessive, and in violation
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion act.
1t is pointed out in one section of
the complaints that the rates be-
tween Chicago, Milwaukee and other
eastern cities and st. Paul, Mime
apolis and other Minnesota cities as
compared to rates from Chicago,
Milwaukee and other eastern cities
to North Dakota points, are low. 1t
is held in this section that the rates
from or to North Dakota points are
generally the coordination of local
t thses lfom or TO ST. raul
through rates materially less than
the combination of the local rates.

Lack of Adequate Rain in
Winter Belt Brings Raise

Chicago, March 30.-Owing largely
to lack of adequate rain in the do
mestic winter crop belt, wheat aver
aged higher today during early deal
ings. The fact that world shipments
were smaller and that the amount of
wheat on ocean passage had decreas-
ed by 100000 bushels. tended furth-
err to lift values. Selling to realize
profits led to only temporary set
back in prices.

vance, with May S1.57 to $1.57 Ia
and July SLAP to SLAP 3-4, was fol-
lowed by drop to $1.55 3-4 for May
but then by a rise which carried
May to $1.58 Ia.

$1.46h to STAT and July $780, to
$1.36A.

other things provides: The enforce

SPRING HOUSE
CLEANING TO

Various Sundry improvements
Will Be Made During Two
Years of Appropriation
Period

Grand Forks, N. D., March 80
Spring house cleaning will soon be-
gin at the state university here and
will probably continue through the
summer while the varsity students
are away. The house cleaning OPP
erations now contemplated are to use
about $l1,635 of the legislatures
biennial appropriations for the state
school. Sundry improvements are
planned during the next two years of
the appropriation period, according
to c. l.. Ellis, superintendent of the
buildings and grounds for the state
school.
Probably the largest of the i'm

summer the roads to some of the

to the superintendent.
The water that does not soak into
the ground must now be carried off
in the sanitary sewage system. This
sewage must be elevated to meet an
|other section of the Grand Forks
system.
1t is planned that the new sewer,
supplementing one built last year
will do away with this trouble. 1t
is hoped the work on this can be
started early this summer, and be
\ complete by the opening Of school
in the fall.
p Redecorating and minor improve

planned. Dormitories are to be
cleaned and redecorated and two
buildings are to be painted to con-
form with other buildings on the
campus. New showers and dressing
rooms will be installed in the wom-

farm help was anticipated. He de-
clared that more than hundred
men could be placed on farms i'm
mediately, and that "as soon as word
gets out that we need men, they
will be here in plentiful numbers"
An unusually heavy demand from
western North Dakota is iN'ted this
year, he said.
Field work has started in the
southern tier of counties, with re-
sultant calls for farm workers from
that section. ''
There is an especial strong de-
mand for general farm help and for
housekeepers and girls" he said.
The supply of married couples to
work on farms seems about equal to
the demand, but housekeepers and
girls are lacking. Wages for all
classes this year will be fully as
good as last year.
