HARRIS The question of entertainment and recreation in the country offers wide possibilities® as well as interesting problems. : 2 In the city entertainment is a'busi- ness run for private profit and falls short of giving the highest service to the public. The best talent is beyond the reach of the people of moderate means and cheaper entertainments frequently cater to a perverted public taste and often sacrifice wholesome diversion to coarseness. For your entertainment you are left largely to your own resources and in-° genuity. ‘Women necessarily take the . in- itiative in activities of a social nature. In order to enable you to exchange - ideas on this subject and in order’ to stimulate your interest in your -own department of the paper, the Leader will give $25 in prizes for the best letters on the subject of entertain- ment in the country. The subject is broad enough to include circulating libraries, library facilities and every phase of entertainment that can be successfully carried out in rural com- munities. If you have had an entertainment of any nature which has given pleas- ure to your neighborhood, if you have any ideas on the subject, write them up and send in your letter. It may mean a generous prize for you— money that you will feel free to spend for some long cherished purpose. The best letters will be published and the readers will get the benefit of the newest and best suggestions. SUCCESSFUL WOMAN JUDGE Mrs. Georgia P. Bullock. is another woman who has demonstrated that women can make good in a field in which we are accustomed to believe only men men can attain success. She is judge of a police court, re- cently established in Los Angeles, Calif.,, to try woman’s cases exclu- sively, and is doing splendidly a much needed work. “It is a court for those who want to help themselves,” said Mrs. Bul- lock. “All women who have been Mrs. Georgia P. Bullock fighting the battle of life and have been knocked off their feet by ad- verse - circumstances, poverty or bad associations, will be enabled to ‘come back.” The court gives' every woman a chance.” o3, Police Judge Thomas P. White, with whom Mrs. -Bullock sits' as a joint court, is the:-originator -of the idea of the woman’s court; ' In.conjunction with the court is a remarkable sys- tem of probation.' ‘A’ committee of 23 women, representing different nation- alities, has been appointed to investi- gate the case of each offender, find - her a position and help her fo become selfsustaining’ and independent. . - Twenty-Five Dollars in Prizes Letters will be judged for the in- terest and value of the ideas, not for literary merit. 5 Take this opportunity to get into touch with your editor-and cooperate with her to make the woman’s page a feature of real interest. For the four best letters on the subject of social and educational en- tertainment in the country the Leader will give: { S ‘ First prize, $10; second prize, $7 third prize, $5; fourth prize, $3. RULES OF CONTEST 1. The contest is open to all. women readers, excepting wives and ddugh- ters of men officially connected with the Leader. A BT 2. Letters must not contain more than 250 words, written on one side of the paper. o 8. Contest will close April 15. Address all letters to Editor Woman’s Department, Nonpartisan Leader, Box 919, Fargo, N. D._ WOMEN' FOR GOOD ROADS Mrs. Lee C. Boardman is the first woman to take up the better roads movement as a national question, and her work is of especial interest be- cause she is bringing out the relation of good roads to progress and bet- terment of country women. To make communication quick and easy and thus bring the country women into closer touch with the outside world is her aim. She shows also that good roads would make possible direct market- ing between farmers and city con- _sumers to the decided benefit and ad- vantage of both. ’ WHAT KANSAS OWES TO WOMEN That Kansas towns owe their li- baries, clean streets, school improve- ments, parks, playgrounds, sidewalks and even electric light plants to club women is -the statement from 129 Kansas women’s clubs. Sixteen clubs established playgrounds, helped con- duct campaigns for the playground movement or furnished equipment. BOY-SAVING DAY IN CHICAGO By proclamation of Mayor Thomp- son, Sunday, Feb. 13, was observed as “Boy-saving Sunday” in Chicago when civic and social organizations, ministers and private titizens consid- ered means for correcting the evil in- fl_\iences surrounding the youth of that city. KANSAS'CITY STAR AGREES Approval of the position taken by the Nonpartisan Leader on the single tax on land is given editorially in the Kansas City Star of February 28. + After referring to a letter from J. B. Lashbrook of Bonner Springs, N. D, to the Star, in which Mr. Lashbroolé & approved the Leader’s position, the Star quotes from the Leader’s editor- ial, as follows and adds its own comment: Single tax, in the sense it is used in the League program, sim- ply means that farm improve- ments shall be exempt from tax- ation. It simply means that un- improved lands—Ilands held for speculative purposes—shall -be taxed the same as improved lands —Ilands used as farms. It means that every time a farmer builds - a rod of fence, constructs a pig- pen or henhouse, paints his house or barn, breaks an acre of new land or buys a new cream separ- ator, that the state will not penal- ize him for it. It simply means that the state will encourage and not - discourage improvements by ceasing to fine a man for mak- * ing improvements, - '“The Star hasn’t the least objec- tions to this doctrine. =1t quite agrees that it is foolish to tax improvements when it is possible to levy the tax on “the site wvalue, which is produced wholly by the community. But in common with many others who believe # in the advisability of the site value tax, the Star believes there are other proper objects of taxation—large in- comes, ; for example, inheritances, . lipuors and such. “The personal property tax, espec- ially in cities, is-and always has been a failure, for it discriminates-against the conscientious man and in favor of the man who fails to report his prop- erty for taxation.” SR “The Leader fights“for the farmers. 000000000000000 Save Your (iasoli : A Gas Pre-Heater Does it and Costs $2.50 Post Paid They are absolutely guaranteed to give you % more Mileage per gal- lon of gasoline. ; Your Money promptly refunded if you are not satisfied.
