" | OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS | A DAY OF PATRIOTISM Patriotic Americans will heartily endorse the plan to make| May 1 permanently “American Day,” the one particular day when patriotism and loyalty to national ideals will be impressed | upon all. The American Defense society has undertaken to lead in the movement to make the first day of May an effective | rebuke to the various forms of anarchy which are seeking to use| the day to advance their attempts to overthfow the government. “May 1 can be advantageously utilized: as the occasion of a program of public activities,” a bulletin o fthe society says, “as well as to show how we can preserve our Americanism against the sinister infiltration of anarchy and lawlessness; also to af- ford an opportunity for all patriotic citizens to reconsecrate themselves to the ideals and institutions of our nation, and to pledge their unqualified support to all those things that have made us a great and united people.” The only way that dangerous radical teachings can be overcome is by instruction in Americanization for the aliens and the exhortation to more emphatic Americanism on the part of citizens. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” This state- ment was probably never nearer the truth than at the present time. The enemies of organized government were never more persistent in their efforts, atlhough they may be more secretive | than at times past. Lo | The forces which threaten our government today are sym-i bolized by the red flag, whether they marshal in'the name of| communism, industrial workers of the world or bolshevism. They stand for one and the same thing—a deep-seated con- spiracy against civilization. This is no time for hesitation. A mobilization of patriotic Americans on May 1 will be a great dis-| couragement to the disloyal propaganda. Every citizen should give his support to the program of the various patriotic organizations which will stand back of the ob- servance of May 1 as American Day. The day falls on Sunday this year, and ministers and teachers of all religious creeds may well call attention of their followers to the importance of edu- cation along patriotic lines.. There can be no true religion with- out obedience to the reasonable-regulations for the safety of society. ey ————— LET HIM STAY “Big Bill” Haywood has jumped his bail and fled to Rus- sia. 'A lot of folks will feel that this is “good riddance of bad rubbish.” He says he will return in the fall. Not if about a hundred million loyal Americans have their way. “Bill” would bring nothing home but trouble. Lenine is the chap to deal with him, Lenine brooks no interference and he takes no chances of any other scoundrel snatching from him the reins of power. He sent Berkman out to work-as a track-hand on the railroad and he’ll find a suitable job for “Bill.” OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR A ITVITTTITITIRVITIITINETTVINVIR ST EE T ol Ii it i e st Ll Ly Borrowing Insurance Money Tt is seldom that more vicious advice is given than that tendered to the people of North Dakota by the Fargo Courier-News when it urges those. of them who are carrying life insurance to borrow on their policies and invest the proceeds in state bonds or to place it with the Bank of North Dakota as a savings account. The Fargo paper points out that in 1919 the North Dakota policy holders paid the old line insurance companies $5,560,000 in premiums. This money, Mr. Lemke’s organ says, belongs to the policyholders, who) by bor- rowing and reinvesting as suggested, would be able to “eat their cakd and |gp THE GENERAL BODY COMPANY have it, too.—Grand Forks Herald. oo S Bemidji Co-operative Spirit _Bemidji served a free dinner to the farmers of the surrounding trade ierritory last Saturday which was followed by ‘an interesting program, con- sisting of talks on land clearing and agricultural development. The: first three. carloads of dynamite, ordered' under the co-operative plan of-land clegrmg, was digtributed the sanie day. Bemidji realizes the value of hér agricultural territory and is encouraging the farmers which will undoubtedly be of great advantage to the city in the future.—Farmers Independent. If the addition of women to electorate of the land should result in in- culeating new respect for the dignity and honorable estate of the marriage relation, the nation will be the gainer. Will it have-that effect? - Good citi- zenship chensheg a hope that it will, but it does not accept the result'as a foregone conclusion. Something closely resembling a doubt has been raised by recent réports that the church is losing its grip on the affections and de- votion of many women.—Minneapolis .Tribune. ‘:Pon’t name your son for any great man, until after the great man is dead,” has been a favorite quotation.

I know I came nearer to wishing to van- | ish oft the face of the earth at that moment than ever before.or since. The morning schedule in this college consisted of four periods for recita- tions with five minute periods of inter- mission between classes. All classes were dismissed and summoned from and to classrooms at the"same time by a small bell operated exactly like the | ordinary doorbell. This bell was in- stalled in tlie entrance hall of the building~—where- most of the students congregated during intermissions. For the convenience of the students a telephone was likewise placed in'this hall. One morning 'the usual crowd of, students was gathered in the, hall, waiting, for the signal to call them back into classes. When it came, mis- taking it for a telephone’call, I bastily picked up the receiver and called “Hello.” No answer—so 1 repeated | my “Hello” louder. By this time 1'had the attention of most of the students—they stopped their chattering and were intent on | watching me wake up. It was a rude | awakening.—Exchange. | Raven a Solitary Bird. Like most of his tribe,/the raven | is omnivorous; his dietary ranges from “a worm to a whale.” When his| nest is built beneath some overhang- ing rock you can often discover its position by the remalns of rabbit neat- 1y laid in the short grass at the top of the cliff. In distncts where food is scarce the raven will attack with- out scruple a newly born lamb. The raven has a passion for solitude. He will tolerate in the neighborhood of his nest not even his own offspring. | He drives them ruthlessly away as soon as they are able to shift for themselves. } Shawis Came First. | The shawl is the mother of all clothes. ~ Before scissors were in-| thing at all, wore shawls. The cold- en the climate the larger and heavier | the shawl. In the tropics the shawl | was of figleaf size. The summer shawl is our sheet. The toga, and from the original shawl. Even as late as our Civil war men wore shawls for overcoats. Just a Week-end Trip. Minneapolis workmen claim to have discovered some ancient Roman coins while digging in' the street.

As Walter Dill Scott suggests, .every business youth, on beginning his or her business life, should adopt an avocation, a fad, some outside in- terest, only less absorbing thaa his business, and should continuously cul- tivate it as a foil, a rest, a saving grace to his business. Provided this fad or unbusinesslike interest be one not too narrow and one not too- diffi- cult and fatiguing, the recipe is funda- mentally an important one for this matter of business hours as well as for . personal hyglene in general.—G.| V.
