PAGE EIGHT CORNER STORE HBLPRD MINERS WIN STRIKE « a Springfield; Il], Sept. 2.—The po- sition of the little corner grocery store, sometimes ridiculed, is respon- sible for the settlement received by | Iilinois striking coal miners, union) officials and miners assert. | It was the backbone of the de-! fence which, for almost five months withstood the assaults of poverty and hunger, these officials cla adding, that no matter what may be the future of the coal miners inj industry, the corner groceryman is} inextricably bound up in the welfare of the coal miners. The end of the strike found many of the Illinois miners destitute. | nee April 1, they received but $6 | ix strike benefits. Supplies of food- stuffs gathered before the strike, soon were consumed and the simple clothes of last winter in many in- stances were made to serve through- out the summer, Amusements were almost negligible, The home garden and fish from nearby streams enabled many to pull through, but miners say it real- ly was the credit extended by the corner groceryman and his faith iny the word of the men that enabled them to keep their families from straving. Many of these grocery stores, ‘especially those in the min- ing villages, depend .entirely for ex- istence on the miners patronage. For them it was a case of credit or go out of business, it is explained. Every grocery store in this section which has a miner's business is car rying hundreds of dollars of miners’ accounts on its books. Throughout the summer they supplied their pa- trons’ needs in flour,\sugar and ot! er staples without seeing a penny in cash. Unusual activity in these grocery stores stores marked the closing of the strike. Huge orders began to roll in the day after the settlement was announced, ‘A few mines, however, were assist ed by officials and employes at union headquarters from their private purses. Associated charities in some of the larger cities and towns also cwere called upon, but only when the need was most dire, FEDERAL AGENT URGES CHILD SUPERVISION Bureau at Washington Makes Suggestions to State Administration i Members of the Children’s Bureau at Washington, in making out their, report of the conditions in’ North Dakota have established a list of suggestions for future legislative enactment. The Bureau makes the point that these are suggestions only and should not be considered as the recommendations of the bu- reau. ‘ The suggestions, as outlined in-the report are; 1," State’ supervision over institu- tions and agencies and over placing * out of dependent children. 2, State supervision (or promo- tion) of the work of juvenile courts, probation and parole from institu- tions. 3. Mothers’ Allowance Law-provi: ding for some form of state super- vision or assistance in the admin- istration; raising age to which aid may be granted to 16 years to com- ply with the compulsory school at- tendance and child labor laws. (It was stated by some people in North Dakota that the present laws “puts 4 premium on desertion and non- support through the genera] provi- sion ‘that ‘any woman,’ etc. may be granted aid.” This js not a legitimate complaint since aid may be refused in cases such as those mentioned. 4, Possible changes in non-sup- port law were suggested (this study did not’go into this question at all. 5. Controlling ptrental release of dependent children to the permanent custody of institutions or agencies. 5. Providing for inquiry into adoption cases—including need for removal from custody from parent or parents, and’ conditions in prospect- ive adoptive home. 7. Amendment of law relating to importation ,of dependent children. The present law provides for a bond ef $500 to each county, apparently for any number of children brought in by a society. 8, Prohibiting commitment of de- pendent children to the State Indus- trial School, 9. Regulating the keeping of chil- dren in Almshor . 10, Possible desirability of pro- viding a State Training School for Girls. At present boya and girls are in the same institution. 11, Amendment of law relating to contributing to delinquency of min- ors. 12, Amending law relating to es- tablishment. of paternity of children of legitimate birth, making \ this more practicable than at present, and <according to the earlier sec- tions the law with the last secti providing for support as if legiti- mate. 13, Regulation of the work that has been undertaken by the State Humane Society is the field of child welfare, which is not authorized by the law giving this society a small state subsidy. : (The law should specifically make: it impossible for a society of this kind to duplicate what has been done in other states by organizations with similar beginnings that have made themselves into official state bod- ies). 14. Providing for training of blind and deaf children under the age now received. into the state schools, within the state instead of in a distant state. 15. Providing for the treatment and training of crippled children. 16. Providing for training in con- BOY.EDITOR i nection with the public school sys- tem of subnormal and mentally de- tective children who do not require custodial care, 17, Increased facilities for caring for mentally defective children in the State Institutions, if required. (As waiting list would indicate). 18. A State Board (or official) (existing or new) given administra- tion of laws relating to State sup- ervision, etc. 19, Providing for county organi- zation of child welfare or public welfare work, related to a_ state board, OF AYR PRINTS WEEKLY PAPER Ayr. N. D., Sept. 56.—If you nap- | pen to find yourself stranded in Ayr with nothing to do, read a copy of the Ayr Gazette. It only costs five cents and you will find it interesting. It is. the smallest newspaper in the state and its editor, Eddy Mc- Cosh, is the youngest editor. He is twelve years old. The weekly is & four page sheet, mimeographed on both sides and then folded. Eddy who felt the town needed & newspaper prevailed upon two-thirds of the’ ctiy’s business houses—a bank and a general store, to buy the mimeograph on the understanding that he was to do the work of mime- ographing the newspaper and anv circular matter which the business houses wanted to send but. . Frances and Jessie McCosh are among the reporters and H. A. Malchose of the bank’s staff is the manager. - The editor uses an admirable brev- ity of style. For example: ’, “Ihe railroad put up a crossing sign here Tuesday.” Space is further conserv: ed by elimination of heads; ‘the items are separaed by dashes. Society, general news, agriculture, editorial, advertising and ‘sports have their place. An item of each kind of news, re- printed from the columns of the Gazette follows: Society—“A party was held last Thursday night at the Colvin home for Lucile and many of her friends attended.” 7 General News—“Mr. Ray Manning is fixing up his house for a restau- rant and it will not be long before he will have it ready for use.” Agriculture and Editorial—“It hes come to dur attention that a colony of farmers in the vicinity of Hed Wing and Cannon Falls, Minnesota,| has been raising Wheat and Flaxseed mixed together with excellent re- sults.” é “The surprising part of it is that jn some instances the yield of both grains has been increased; the yield of the wheat alone having been bet- ‘ter than’ fifteen bushels to the acre, and the flax ‘from eight to ten bush- els.” 4 Advertising—“Have it’ printed ‘in Ayr.” Sas - eports (The editor apparently not altogether’ satisfied with: the ef- forts of his sporting editor pubishes the’ following: ) , “For some reason, unknown to the ‘publisher, ‘the Ayr corespondent has slipped a few points in his writeups regarding the ball game. Evidentty one. cannot keep tab on the gamt while triying to find « ‘Minnehana Pale’ in a tub of ‘Hamms’.” The account of the game is given as follows: “The last game of the season for the Ayr boys was played at Fingal, last Sunday.. The two teams played an interesting game even though there were quite a number of error: chalked up against both sides.” After giving the score by innings the editor adds: “We realize that we were handi- capped owing to the feet that we did not have many Rooters from Ayr. ‘And it was‘ little too far to travel with ice cream and pop so our ‘Pub- licity’ man wasn’t on the job either.” George Robert Sims, Journalist, Dead London, Sept. 5.—George Robert Sims, 5, journalist and dramatic au- thor, died at his home here today. Sims was/one of the best)-known gures in London’s theatrical literary and journalistic life and was known throughout the entire English’ speak- ing world as the author of almost in- numerable plays, playlets, sketches and other works.

Bismarck INTER-CITY © PIGNIG BIG ROTARY AFFAIR Jamestown, Valley City, Man- dan and Bismarck Join Hands at Lake Isabelle The first inter-city meeting of Rotarians and their families éver held in the state of North ,Dakota was attended by 260 Rotarians, their families, and their friends, at Lake Isabel yesterday with Burt Finney, George and Fred Copelin in charge. Bismarck, Jamestown, Man- dan, and Valley City delegations wére present, The Bismarck-Mandan folk appear- ed at the lake at the time best suit- ed to their individual conveniences. The Jamestown-Valley City delega- tions made their appearance in en masse, with flying banners, placards, and gay attire. They met the West- Bismarck and Jast-Mandan group like long lost brothers and. sisters. : True Rotary Spirit This Rotarian spirit of which so much was said by the after dinner speakers was put into Kipling’s words by Judge A. M. Christianson when he said: , on “Oh, East is East and West is West an aa the twin et oth wand sky “stand ippeeéntly at God's Meatat ae seat “But there is neither East-ror West, nor border, breed, nor ,birth “When two Rtarians stand face to face * “Though they come from the ends of the earth.” The cities swam together in the sparkling water of Isabel, they talk- ed, they dined, they sang, they play- ed, and they danced together. The | warmth of the day made the Jake a particularly desirable spot, Many of those who arrived early took a dip before the wonderful one o'clock chicken dinner which Mrs, Eastman ot Dawson had prepared, was serv- éd. Others enjoyed “a social hour” in the shade of the many fine trees which have helped to make Isabel famous. Dinner Gong Welcome Proniptly at 1 o'clock the dinner gong sounded. The 260 Rotarians and their guests trooped into the big pavilion where Jong tables were lined with good stuff to eat, As the| Ww: banquet started William Upshaw of Jamestown took charge of the sing- ing: which opened with “Smiles” by | the Jamestown group, was followed by. the popular Rotary song, “Pull ithe Blinds Down, Mary Ann," by the Bismarck : group, and several fine selection by, the Mandan Nut Trio, composed of Henry Halverson, A. H. Petersen, and D. C. Mohr, who made a big hit with their audience. James- town was represented at the piano by Miss Foster, et hve Another popular number was a of. Ji town. Upshaw’s leading was so.in- spiring that “his audignce almost raised the roof on. the pavilion dur- ing the musical ‘portiqn.of the pro- gram.

In all the successful dairy states it has been demon- strated that dairying cannot be permanently or profitably established without the aid of a creamery. The creamery, provides the market for the butterfat. : While it is not necessary that the creamery be a co-operative creamery, neverthe- less the experience of most all dairy communities is that the co-operative creamery is the best, Jt is not hdrd or difficult to organize and establish a co-opefative creamery. Ifthe State farm school cannot send a man to advise and help, the secretary, of most , any successful co-operative in Minnesota could be secured at small expense to ‘visit the community and help perfect the organization. ~ ‘ . \ Such a creamery should not be organized unless there are cows enough in the neigh- ‘borhood to support it because if the creamery has a limited supply of butterfat, the over- head expense ui manutacture is too high. It is not wise to start a creamery unless at léast 400 good cows are pledged and if more can be secured, so much the better. In a way, the following maps out what our program in this community ought to be: Get into the dairy business to an extent such that we have at least 400 good cows available to support’ a creamery.; With this number of cows and the farms go farmed as to grow the feed these cows will need ‘and the system of farming so perfected that these cows can be properly cared for and the herds graded-up and added to, there won't be any i ‘question about our community getting its farming operations upon as AY profitable a basis as the dairy communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin. ‘What such a program will mean for the permanent prosperity of our community can hardly be overestimated. Here are some actual figures showing what the carrying out of. this sort of a pro- ; gram did for the farmers of Todd County, Minnesota, In studying these figures just régall what you were able to get for any little quantity of butter you may have happened ‘to make on your farm and sell in whatever channels were available to you. Here are thé average NET price per, pound paid by all co-operative creameries in Todd County, 18 in number, for butterfat for the years mentione: at Year of 1917 uf Year of 1918 . f Year of 1919 . Year of 1920 by Year of 1921 .. . « Juat study these figures a while and decide whether or not it pays to get the farm onto a dairy basis with a good creamery as the butterfat market. Thesé prices brought the farmers of Todd County over two million dollars cash each year and there is this about dairying: it is progressively profitable; that is, every year it:gets better. The farm gets more and more onto a dairy basis, the feed is easier to ‘rise, {ta production js more certain, the cows get better and better as they are graded wy ang une soil of the farm itseif is constantly improved because of the presence of the iveatock. What a wonderful thing it would be if we could make this community permanently and dependably prosperous. The program we have been outlining has brought such prosperity to other farm communities. It will bring it to our community, Dairying is not only profitable in itself but it leads to other kinds of farming that are profitable. It makeg @ business man out of the farmer, enables him to profit through his study, planning and his ability. The establishment of a co-operative creamery does other things too, besides providing a dependable market for dairy product. It promotes com- munity spirit, It teaches farmers to work together and prepares the way for the taking up of other projects that are beneficial not only from the standpoint of profit but in a social and an educational way. We are some years. behind the prosperous and pro- gressive farm communities of the dairy sections of Minnesota and Wisconsin but let’s not get.any further behind. Let us take this dairy and creamery project and’ put it over, ‘” We shall have more to sdy about his matter next’ week. . - The First National Bank © : "BISMARCK UTUOEUUOLOUOEEUORENEGEUESEEUUEUEHEEEEEATUEOEGUEEEOEESEEEOOEEAESGEESEUOOOHEUEOAOAEEESOOOOONEOENEEUESEOGEOSEGOEAGEOOOOEAUOAOSOAEUOAUOOOUANOROOOSOOUEQONGOLOUOUGGENE EA] Ce TT THE FAMOUS LIGNITE The Coal That's All Coal THIS COAL DOES NOT CLINKER, AND CON- TAINS LESS SULPHUR AND ASH THAN ANY OTHER LIGNITE COAL MINED IN NORTH DAKOTA ; At $5.50 Per Ton Delivered We know this coal will please you as it has hun- dreds of our customers.
