Some of the members of the New Ulm school board want to make the study of German compulsory in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Attorney General Hilton holds that this can only be done by a unanimous vote of the board. Although Governor Cox says a separate peace with Germany is un- thinkable, the fact is that we are at peace with Germany, and while a lot of people argue that the German language should be banished from our pub- lic schools, there is really no more sound basis for this contention than against French, Spanish or Italian. However, to force any student to study either of these languages, is going to an unreason- able limit. The mastery of German, or of other so-called foreign tongue, would be beneficial to any student, but the studies of these should be elective.

Edward Rydeen is distributing some imperialism literature among the anti-imperialists. Ole O. Osberg, who recently purchased a new Gear Scott threshing machine, went to McIntosh Tuesday of last week, to put his engine in shape for business, whence he will come up here at once and commence threshing. J. E. Wilborg, manager of the Wilborg Mercan- tile company, has went out of business and is now teaching school in the town of Eddy. T. L. Tweite, clerk of town of Eddy, was up out way Friday and Saturday of last week. S. S. Hanson of Bagley was taking a bird’s-eye view of the country the other day.

This is the language of the United States, and the boy or girl who is not well versed in the tongue of the country in which he or she lives, is greatly handicapped.

Our understanding is that a unanimous vote is necessary to make German or any other foreign language elective. School boards have no.power to make foreign languages compulsory in any cir- cumstances. We heartily agreed with the Journal Press editor. Give them English first,” there is a lot of that to learn. DS S A LESSON IN CO-OPERATION. The California Fruit Growers’ association claims to be the most successful co-operative selling organ- ization in this country. In a public statement the officers of the organization assert that for every dollar paid by consumers: for the products raised by members of the association, thirty cents goes to the producers and seventy cents to the railroads and the middlemen. If that is a record to be proud of, what happens to the farmers and fruit growers who are not organized? . Truck farmers in the vicinity of Washington are receiving one dollar a barrel for green beans, eleven pecks to the barrel. The consumers of Washington are paying fifteen cents per quarter peck, or $6.60 a barrel for the same beans. At that rate the pro- ducer gets about fifteen cents out of each dollar paid by the consumer. The beet sugar farmers of Colorado are rejoicing because they will receive about six cents a pound for the sugar in the beets they have raised this year. The consumers in Washington and > other eastern cities are paying twenty-two and twenty- three cents a pound for the same sugar.LL-bor. Comment on the above seems unnecessary—the figures speak for themselves. Then we wonder why farmers and producers are dissatisfied. Take him at his word. Out in Fessenden, Town- ley is reported by the Wells County Farmer to have gold the farmers, at the county “shakedown meet- ing” that: “If you farmers don’t raise the money now so we can snow the I. V. A’s. under so deep they’ll never get out again, you can go home and slop your hogs. I'm through with you.” That sounds like a fair promise to relinquish the choice place at the trough in favor of live stock. The farmers would at least get some fat hogs if they took Mr. Townley at his word, says The Fargo Forum.—Stillwater Daily Gazette. 0— The Ford is my charlot 1 shall not want; It maketh me to lie down in wet places, It destroyeth my soul. 1t leadeth me into the deep waters, It leadeth me into the paths of ridicule for its name’s sake, .

As a matter of fact, Vane is ruining his health in business, endeavoring to supply Margaret with the luxuries she craves. In a squalid little East Side tene- ment house, Min Berry and her hus- band find themselves in a losing fight against poverty. = A boarder, Ted Leach, is taken in to revive the with- ering income.

In a more beautiful environment, Malrgaret Vane confides her disap- pointment and resentment to Paul Derrick, a social parasite. Margaret promises Derrick she will run away with him. Her husband dies from the shock, when he hears of Margaret’s plan. Realizing that his wife has felt his neglect, Jack proposes a trip to the movies. Upon returning home, Jack invents a littlé device for Min‘s wash- ing machine, which lessens her work considerably. Min is happy until Leach makes several advances to her, which are re- pulsed. Trying to express his emo- tions by brute force Leach embraces Min, and a struggle ensues. The powerful climax to this photo- drama embodies a twist in the machi- nations of fate that will thrill you with its realism. A question as old as humanity has been answered in this gripping picturization of the fa- mous Broadway success. BILL HARTS PINTO “~PONY SAVES FAMOUS™ STAR FROM DROWNING William ‘S. Hart, the famous mo- tion picture star, firmly believes that there is no human love or loyalty that exceeds that of an animal for a man. Probably Mr. ;Hart’s most cherished possession is his beautiful Pinto pony, the veteran of many a hazardous feat before the camera. Since the filming of “The. Toll Gate,” the new Hart picture coming to the Grand theatre next more than ever—with reason. er of a bandit gang, Bill is hotly pur- sued by a sheriff’s posse. He escapes them at one point by making a leap over sixty feet from a cliff-into the raging river below. But again they pick up the trail. This time Bi., as Deering, seeks to elude them by rid- ing his Pinto pony into the river bed and following the stream as it leads into subterranean passage under the cliffs. The location of this scene was So- nora, in northern California. Bill {rode his pony into the Stygian black- ness of the underground water trail. But suddenly the water grew deeper. The Pinto started to swim. struck an underwater ledge, and he slipped backward, throwing Bill into the icy cold stream. The beast tried in vain to climb the steep sides of the cave. He tumbled backwards. Then followed a grim fight with death on the part of both man and 1beast, until at last the Pinto saw a zlint of light and swam to it with l'llllfld; speed, dragging Bill Hart after m. “He sure saved my life, said Bill later, “and he can have all I have got.” MISS TRAVERSE IN PLAY OF WIDE SCOPE “From the heart of the world to the edge of the world” moves the action in “The Spirit of Good,” a thrilling screen production by Wil- liem Fox presented at the Grand the- atre tonight only. Madlaine Traverse, oue of the most famous women of the screen, plays the part of a New York show girl who, breaking an impossible union, goes to a part of the world whe e gold rules men and where love is dis- tinctly not a drawing room affair. She becomes the idol of a dance hall, and wins a great fight against long odds. The story, which is admirably fit- ted to Miss Traverse's talents and emotional temperament, is by Clifford Howard and Burke Jenkins. Denison Clift wrote the scenario, and Paul Cazeneuve directed the production The cast inciudes such well known names as those of Frederick Stanton, Dick La Reno, Charles Smily and Clo King—all of whom do admirable work.

The bill for Friday, offers a variety in amusement. Opening with Albert and Rozella who offer flexible twists and talk the bill changes in character to Walter Gilbert an European nov- elty. Saxon and Ashner present the one act comedy playlet ‘“The Tele- phone Girl” which certainly is rich in possibilities, and the bill closes with Rittle Bdothers, muscular rjar- vels.

MANITOBAN TEACHERS PLEASED WITH PAY (By United Press) Selkirk, Man., August 25.—When the schools here re-open this fall it is{ believed that this school district will have the most contented lot of teach- ers in Canada. This happy state of | affairs has been brought abodt by ac- tion of a permanent board of arbi- tration established by the provincial government at the request of the Manitoba Teachers’ Federation. The board has just awarded the teachers fifty dollars a year more than they had demanded of the board of trustees and the minister of educa- tion has expressed himself ds pleased with the award. The teachers had asked for a minimum salary of $1,- 050; the trustees stood pat at $1,000 and the board of arbitration, consist- ing of one representative from the teachers federation, one from th school trustees’ association and on from the government placed the min- imum at $1,100. y Deputy Minister of Education Ro- bert Fletcher says the result of the board’s decision will be to stabilize the profession and that there will be less shifting around and fewer teach- ers leaving Manitoba.
