Outside of the professional politician, the aver- age voter is not intensely interested in the sen-| atorial contest, but he is vitally concerned with) the future of North Dakota. A majority of the voters-do-not. want.-to-return to the domination of the nonpartisan league nor do they desire to} have any other clique or faction fasten upon; the state an expensive Utopian program. The people of the state generally are satisfied ‘with the progress made toward normalcy. They | realize that the work has hardly been started. Neither is:the hold of the independents upon the) reins of state government any too secure. There! is still a vigorous minority who want to see the rule of the league returned. Confronted with such a situation, the conflict for senatorial honors has a deep significance. If bitterness and strife is stirred up at James- town, there cannot be a united front against the league in the June primaries. ‘That there should! be such'a front is vital, so vital in fact that many | leaders are ready to ignore the senatorial fight and allow it to be fought out without involving state issues. The professional politicians, however, who are nursing grudges because of unrequited political ambitions are willing to wreck what has been ac- complished in bringing voters of one mind on state issues together, so that if possible they can add another political scalp to their belt. It may be possible that the I. V. A. organiza- tion is strong enough to dictate a senatorial nom- ination hostile to McCumber and still maintain the equilibrium of its state machine fashioned to fight the encroachments of the league. The Duluth Herald has this very significant comment to make: é “The I. V. A. faction of North Dakota Repub- licanism meets in Jamestown this week and all the signs point to a lively fight between the friends and enemies of Senator McCumber. The convention may select a new candidate or it may decide that the state and party is of more im- portance than factional interests and give tacit! support to McCumber. But whether it does or not news trickling here from the outside indi- cates that the real battle at the June primaries will be between Ex-Governor Frazier, backed by the Nonpartisans, and McCumber. (As the Fargo; Forum says, ‘Some clear thinking on the part of the independent Republicans is needed’.” | Caucuses and conventions throughout the state clearly indicate that Senator McCumber has! ‘a large following ‘among some of the most ardent | supportets ‘of: the Anti-Townley, Anti-Socialist | machine. These followers are divided into two} sides; one want an endorsement out of the James- | town convention while the other would be satis- | fied if the convention would confine its delibera-| ‘tions solely to state issues and relieve the con:| vention of. the embarrassments that always fol- Editor - low whenva house.is divided against itself. ication and he said in his district it was mud. Bad Resolutions adopted at the various county con- jroads can be the greatest defect in any commun- ventions showed practically a unanimous feeling toward the state administration and a willingness ‘to, get behind the Anti-Townley, Anti-Socialist ;of children in school. They can be the greatest program. But there are some bitter enders who/|defect in farming, when they do not permit the want McCumber’s scalp and are willing to hazard the chances of returning the Nestos regime to get it. Against such extremists, the Jamestown con- vention has its hardest battle. Once they are subdued and either an endorsement of McCum- ber given or a “hands off” policy decided upon, equilibrium will be established and the harmony necessary to win in the primaries against the league will follow. With the independent forces torn into factions over the senatorial fight, the campaign against Townleyism and the league will 4be weakened considerably. A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION The city commission, in purchasing a fire truck | with which the present apparatus can be utilized, has reached a solution. of a vexing problem which ought to be satisfactory to most taxpayers at this time. If there has been one demand of every branch of our government more insistent than any other demand it has been for reduced taxes. The only way to reduce taxes is to reduce expendi- tures. The fire department service now to be ‘terial element necessary to an ideal diet are un- jgreater results could be obtained in increasing ing apparatus and the employment of firemen all of whom can be on duty day and night. RESULTS GRATIFYING Those women who have been responsible for milk distribution in the schools are gratified with the results. Children under weight in many in- stances have reached a normal standard and an improvement in scholarship is noticeable ‘in many instances where children have not been properly nourished. : Students from families able to pay for milk twice a day have availed themselves. Under- weight is not restricted to pupils coming from homes unable to furnish the best of diet. In fact children from families able to supply every ma- der weight and need this extra nourishment daily. There has been a solicitation of funds to pur- chase milk for needy children. This work is to be commended and shows the proper cooperation between the school and the home. Probably even the efficiency of Bismarck’s schools if a Parent and Teachers’ Association were formed. Such mutual organizations have functioned effectively in many cities and form a clearing house for both teachers and parents and often iron out differences that can be handled in no other way. ¥ The women who have taken up the question of a school nurse, the doctors interested in medical examinations and oral hygiene and others who from time to time have-interested themselves in school problems could work efficiently through some such an organization. ~ 4 | A SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCE Irrigation in western North Dakota is receiving intensive study by engineers who have sensed the great possibilities in this section of the state. The conference called for this city tomorrow is one that should focus attention of thoughtful men upon the great opportunity that is before the pecple of the state. ; : The men who framed the constitution had pos- sible irrigation projects in mind when they wrote the following section into the organic law of the state. Sea, “All flowing streams and natural water courses shall forever remain the property of the state fer mining, irrigation and manufacturing pur- poses.” Major J. W. Powell, director of the United States Geological Suvey, in an address before the Constitutional convention at Bismarck in 1889, urged that such & provision be incorporated in the constitution. ; Hew North, Dakota streams in sections where rain fall’is not. adequate to insure continuous fertility of soil, can be utilized will be discussed at the conference.

BRIDES MUST BE COOKS Burgomaster Rimmel of New Ulm, in Bavaria, refused a few days ago to marry a couple because ‘the girl did not know how to cook and keep house jand has since laid down the rule that hereafter ihe will not perform the ceremony for any couple until satisfactory. proof of the bride’s ability as a housewife is presented. ° | This idea will probably make more headway in |Germany than it would in America.

He entered the hall just after eight o’clock and announced himself with a loud, “Hullo, everybody!” and thumped the butt of his rifle on the floor. An enormous crash in the kitchen and a shriek of “It’s the master!” heralded the tumultuous dis- charge upon him of High Jinks and Low Jinks. Effie appeared from the dining room. He was ‘surrounded and enthusiastically shaking ‘hands, “Hello, you Jinkses! Isn't this rip- ping? By Jove, High—and Low— it’s famous to see you again, Hullo, Effie. Just fancy you being here!

He began to notice it at once, Effie, with whom he had anticipated a lot of fun, was differ- ent; not nearly so bright; subdued; her eyes, not always, but only by occasional flashes, sparkling that in- tense appreciation of the: oddities of life vaat had so much attracted him in her. Yes, dash it, Mabel was treating her in a rotten way. Bully- ing. No, it was not exactly bullying, it was snubbing, a certain acid quali- ty always present in Mabel’s voice when whe addressed her—that and a jmanner of always beng what he \thought of as “at her.” In March he came back, a second Meutenant; and immediately, when in time to come he looked _ back, things set in train for that ultimate encounter with life which was await- ling him. He went over for one visit to ‘the office at Tidborough. Not so much enthusiasm greeted him as to encourage a second. Twyning and {Mr. Fortune were immersed in jadapting the workshops to war work for the govemmment. And it was made sufficiently clear to Sabre that, so long away and immediately to be off aga‘n, there could be no interest for ‘him in the ‘enterprise. He rose to go. “I only called in to show off my officer's uniform.” Twyning said, “Yes, congratula- tions again, old man.” He laughed. “You musin’t think you're going to have Harold saluting you though, if you ever meet. He's getting a com- mission, too.” His manner, directly he began to speak of Harold, changed to that enormous affection and ad- Imiraticn for his son which Sabre well remembered on the occasion of Harold joining up. His face shone, his mouth trembled with loving pride at what Harold had been through and what he had done. And he was ch a good boy—wrote twice a week his movher and once when he was sick in the hospital the Padre of his battalion had written to say what a good and sterling boy he was.” Extraordinary different Twyning the father of Harold, and Twyning: in daily relations. VI His leave drew on. He spent his time in Jong walks alone and, when- ever they were possible, iin the old evenings with Fargus. In Mabel’s absence he and Effie were much thrown together. Mabel’ frequently come upon them thus together, and when she did she had a mannerism that somehow seemed to suggest “catching” them’ together. And some- time she used that’ expression.

In spite of the Green Shoes, the Twins stum- bled at almost every step and loose stones and gravel, roots and brambles {tripped them constantly, The path was as crooked as its name, too, and turned this way and that in the craziest fashion. It was so very crooked that Nancy and Nick sometimes almost met themselves coming back. It would go in circles like a watch spring, then take a sud- den turn and unwind, and when at last they were sure they had come to the end and would soon be out ‘of the valley, they found themselves at precisely the same place they had started. At last they came to two lovely {rose vines climbing over tall gate posts and between them swung a cute little gate. “Welcome,” said a sign in bright gold letters on an arch overhead. “This must be the postern gate the dove told us about,” said Nancy. “Let's ;go in, Tt must be the way out’ of {Curlicew Valley.” | “All right, go ahead,” said Nick, holding tht gate open for his sister. ‘But before (Nancy had time to put a foot across the threshold, the dove suddenly fluttered down onto a rose vine. “Stop,” he called excitedly, “This gate leads to the Garden of Snares. If you enter you cannot leave for twen- ty-nine years, Be on your way.” | “Patience brings its own reward,” |cooed the dove, flying off. So the Twins proceeded on their dizzy journey. Uphill, downhill, twist- ing, turning, circling went the path! | Suddenly the dove flew down, “The postern gate is before you,” he said. -| A little, crooked, weather-worn door ; swung open and the Twins stepped | through. i (To Be Continued.)
