THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER. (Established 1873) i> IT CAN'T BE DONE “Give until it hurts,” has been the slogan in past campaigns, It can’t be done. There was a time, here in North Dakota as in other states, where actual giving hurt. It hurst most of us to give to our civic clubs, and to our few charities, even to our churches. We complained about the burdens that were thrust upon us by our duties to society. We wailed about /our club dues, and because we had to kick in occasionally for some booster pro- We protested our taxes—they were always too high. We howled every time we let loose of a dollar that didn’t have our return card on it. In those “good old days’’ giving did hurt. But that isn’t true today. We have acquired the habit of cheerful giving. The more we give the better we like it. If there is anything that hurts it is our in- ability to give more. And every time we do give we find, through some miraculous dispensation, that. we have just a trifle more to give the next time. Of cburse, Uncle Sam hasn’t asked us to give anything. The money we have loaned him is mighty well invested. The interest rate is good, and the security is the best on earth. :. When we buy Liberty: bonds or War Savings Stamps or certificates of indebtedness with Uncle Sam's faith and credit back of them, we're simply giving to ourselves and insuring our future. Most of, us—probably. all of us who have bought $50 and’ $100. bonds—are buying with money that we formerly frittered away on- nothing in particular. We're not giving ‘this.money to Uncle Sam, He is giving it to us by encouraging us to save it and by making it easy for us to save. * “This war is making a different people of us; a better people and a more thrifty people. We will find, when the war is over, that that only thing that hurts is useless, harmful, foolish squander- ing of money. We'll have retained the capacity for painless giving, and it will be a splendid thing for all of us. CLEAN-UP WEEK Spring is the best time in which to clean up. This is spring. Therefore, clean up. Paint up. Whitewash. Clear away rubbish. Haul off tin cans and broken glass. Mend a fence or window. Fix a leaky roof, or a broken hinge. Clean up the backyard. Clean up the vacant lot. Clean the street, alleys and sidewalks. Your home will be better to look upon, and healthier to live in. So will the neighborhood in which you dwell —and the whole city. Take a tip from the good housewife. She goes from cellar to attic with broom and mop and dusting rag. That backyard and vacant lot will make fine gardens. America needs gardens. Filth and disease lurk in rubbish-strewn back- yards and vacant lots. The house will last longer if painted this spring. The fence will wear better for a coat of white- wash. Both will look better. If every man, aided and abetted by every woman and child, were to start out the first day of clean-up week and clean up, first around their homes, and would insist upon the city officials doing their share, why, fellow citizens, this.city of ours would be so far ahead of fairyland’s “Spot- less Town” that there’d be no comparison! Get out the rake and shovel, the paint brush and wheelbarrow. Monday is the first day of clean-up week. DO SOMETHING WITH THEM A number of Bismarck citizens in the new pav- ing districts have suggested that they be allowed to plant their wide parking strips to potatoes. Two reasons are advanced, first that every foot of soil which can be used should be made to produce foodstuffs this year; second, that it will cost less to cultivate a potato patch than it would to create a good lawn. Potatoes are great weed-killers. Spuds this year would mean: greater chance of a lawn next year. On the other hand, potatoes are not decorative, and.the man who has gone ahead and taken pains to insure a good carpet: of grass tor his parking Strip isn’t going to, appreciate a cegnsidera- potato patch next to his beauty spot, The city commission now has hem o pigs te e a eal n men lar to one created several years dgo ‘when Avenues A and B were boulevards, The.cost of caring for Resa d strips under this system is comparatively slight; the city buys its“water “at eale rates and engages a man, or'in the case levote THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE'|f, 4.00| particularly bitter thrusts from fate during the 00} hy hot winds the hail or the drouth has taken 00 them, and its farmers generally are men who are ——|not wel lestablished, who are new to the land and property is considerably less than the cost of water alone for lawn sprinkling, and uniform and con- stant attention is assured. Beauty is a civic asset, and The Tribune is in- clined to believe that a green, glossy lawn, will do the owner fully as much good this summer as would a 30x100 foot potato patch. It is probable that the commission will give each property- owner his choice—a lawn or a potato patch, at the same price. Suffice it that something is to be done with these boulevard strips and that they are not to be allowed to grow up into forests of weeds, as they have from the beginning of time in our unpaved secions, When Wing’s Liberty loan banner is awarded it should be a flag of more than ordinary size and of colors of unusual brilliance, for the little town of Wing in quadrupling its quota has done some- thing that few other communities anywhere have been called on to do—it has made some genuine sacrifices. Wing is in a ten-mile strip of Burleigh county that seems to have been singled out tor last two years. If its crops haven’t been scorched who have their every penny tied up in their farms. And still thse people, in the face of two failures, have come forward and oversubscribed their quota to an extent greater than reported from any other community in this county. North Dakota was the second state in the Ninth district over the top, and it hasn’t yet fin- ished going over. And this is the state whose farmers, their friends would have us believe, a bankrupt. North Dakota farmers are not bank- rupt in money nor are they bankrupt in patriotism and loyalty, however much some of our dema- gogues would like, for political reasons, to so rep- resent. them. Teddy Roosevelt has no designs on the presi- dent’s office, which should enable President Wood- row ‘and Son-in-Law McAdoo to sleep better 0’ nights. Boy, page the spotlight for one A. C. Townley —he has been out of the calcium glare for a full week now. Frazier, Totten et al seem to have found a Tartar in Col.

It is a patriotic act. For no one can suppése that the toil and moil of public life still has any great attraction for Senator Nelson. ‘It may be taken for granted that in his twenty-three years Ye BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE | NEW GRADES T0 LIGHTEN WHEAT GROWER’S LOAD Many Tight and Rigid Restric- tions to Be Smoothed Out After July 15 (Minneapolis, Minn, April 19.— effective July 15 will smooth out so- called tight or rigid restrictions as viewed by the grain trade and tarm- ers in general, R.

In happier times he would be glad to spend his declining years on his Alexandria farm,. honored and beloved of all Minnesotans, and gratefully re- membered by the nation. But he feels the force of the appeal that has been made to. him, not only by the state he honors, but by the country as well, and even by an administration with which he differs politically. He is a force in the senate that cannot well be spared just now. His militant patriotism, his sound judgment, his unflagging industry, his fund of plain common sense, would all be sadly missed in the war-time senate, were he to retire at the end of his fourth term next year. later on to re-election, will be hailed by men of all parties in Minnesota as a fortunate and happy settlement of the senatorial succession.

TURN OF THE TIDE There has been a gathering of politicians in the city the past day or two, under the guise of the Lincoln Republican league. Not being invited into the councils of this new party that has for its pri- mary object the undoing of the Nonpartisan league and the saving of the state, we are unable to tell our readers a thing about its deliberations. We can say, however, that a bunch of real good fel- lows, from various sections of the state, Held some sort of a meeting in this city yesterday and up to the wee small hours of this April morn, but what the conclusions of this august body was we know not. It is apparent that a great many people are getting tired of Boss Townley, and especially of the fact that the state is gradually being turned into a socialist hotbed, and perhaps these men think it is time to call a halt. North Dakota is most intensely loyal and its people are not long going to stand for any propaganda that is going to put it in bad with the other states of the union. We have had much undesirable advertising as a result. of this socialistic regime that we have been inflicted with the past two years and it is becom- ing somewhat offensive. The Times-Record is not making a fling at any particular person or persons, but we do want to see the state settle down to its normal conditions governed by men of unques- tioned ability and standing, and men that we do not have to apologize for every time we go away from home and are asked where we hail from. If some sort of an agreement can be made to put a straight, loyal ticket in the field whether it be composed of democrats or republicans, thousands of voters will rally to that standard. It is the men we want as well as the principles. If we cannot get men of known stability that will give the farmer as well as the business men a square deal, we better let matters alone. It is a fact that the state has been upset the past two years and we ‘know not whither we are drifting.

Averav BY MISS RANKIN Alleged Connection with Butte Labor Troubles Reason for Stopping Addresses Deer Lodge, Mont., April 19.—Miss Jeanette Rankin of Missoula, Monta- na’s representative in congress was refused permission to speak in Deer Lodge tonight, where she had been scheduled to give a liberty loan speech. A meeting of citizens, led by state Senator ‘Williams and R. D. Larabie, voted not to permit Miss Rankin to give her speech on acount of alleged association in Butte yesterday with W. F. Dunn and Tom Campbell, who were leaders in strikes conducted in the mining camps last summer by the electricians and the metal mine work- ers’ unions, respectively. Miss Feankin, it is said, protested when informed of the action and insist- ed that she be given a chance to make her side of the case known. She was refused, however, and told not to come, ‘The attitude of the citizens who at- tended the meeting was that Miss Rankin cast reflections upon her loy- alty by associating with the strike leaders, who have been accused in Butte of I. W. W. affiliations. Miss Rankin came to ‘Montana last week to give liberty loan addresses through the state. Yesterday in Butte sho was unable to cure a hall, through some mis-management and was forced to speak on the street.
