Established 1873) GED MR. WILLIAM WRIGLEY’S BIG LIFE I ANCE POLICY wn R- Mr. William Wrigley’s life has been insured for | $1,000,000. How many sticks of gum would Mr. William Wrigley have to market to produce as much as} Mr. William Wrigley’s estate will receive from; the insurance companies on his death? | Lacking exact knowledge as to Mr. William | Wrigley’s profits, but allowing him half a cent on! each stick of gum, he must sell 200,000,000 sticks of gum to make $1,000,000. A stick of gum is three inches over all—that means including wrapper. I[t will stretch much ‘further. Two hundred million sticks placa! end to end will reach 600,000,000 inches, 9,468 miles —further than from New York to Berlin and; back, j Allowing: an active stenographer one stick an hour. for each eight-hour day, it would take ‘her 25,000,000 days, or 68,500 years, to masticate the value of Mr. Wrigley’s policy, by which time she might be classed as an antideluvian. i Indeed, it would take her close to 3,500 years | to chew enough to pay the annual premium of | $50,000, though a battery of 3,500 stenogs will) do it in a year and have some days to spare. And Mr. William Wrigley started making chew- ing gum on the kitchen stove! You’ve got to hand it to Hindenburg, one way at least. He’s sticking it out in Hunland, while) Ludendorff and the other arch-criminals are sneak-| ing to cover. | KEEP UP PRODUCTION The war taught us how to produce. Never was as much wealth created as in the years when the strong and skilled men were engaged in destruc- tion.” The aged, the infirm, thewomen and: the children preduced enough to feed the: guns and the soldiers and leave less dbject poverty at home than has existed at any time during the previous century. ; This was possible because we cut out some of the waste and used our strength intelligently. We put the idlers at work. There were almost no unemployed. There are usually more men hunt- ing work for work in America than we had under arms. Willingness to serve, and sometimes direct pressure, employed large numbers who had grown to believe that their possession of wealth excused them from useful work. Waste and friction and duplicate motion were abolished in all parts of the industrial machine. Every process of production was speeded up. Bet-| ter relations between employers and employes re- moved a vast amount of waste. Oiling the wheels of industry with enthusiasm and good will multi- plied the product. Our allies were doing the same things. They are now preparing to profit by the lessons of war. The press of England and France is filled with discussions of how to increase production. They see plenty of ways to use the added wealth, and they demand that land, men and machines shall not remain idle while wants go unsatisfied. Our allies cannot understand why the friction and waste that has been removed with so great effort should be permitted again to accumulate. More women went into industry in Gieat Bri- tain than in any other nation. But no one is con- sidering how to drive them out and give men their jobs. The problem which British statesmen are considering is how best to/use woman’s pro- ductive power in industry while securing for her greater health, security and pleasure and bringing greater wealth to the whole community. They are not worrying about a surplus of producers. Their attack is upon the social idlers and the unsatisfied wants of a growing civilization. They do not fear that wants will decline until there is “over production.” They doubt the exist- ence of any such animal as over production unless it is born of ignorance and incompetence. They are concerned only with the problem of increasing production fast enough to keep up with the wants, and effective distribution of products. x England is abolishing the slum by building a million new houses. With France and Italy she is planning a new ang better schoo] system. These nations have decldred war upon ignorance, pov- erty and preventable disease. Such a war calls for much wealth. It calls for a continuance of the organized economical produc- tion that defeated Prussianism. : It demands the same intelligent direction of industry, extensive |back to the camp where he had started his war ‘and told him that while he was fighting so bravely | ground” to which they thought their boy had BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE think that war is worth such an effort.

We want the best schools in the world, and have started the legislation to secure ‘them. Our department of the interior has |sketched a plan to drain swamps, irrigate the des. and plant the mountains with forests. | We are ready to join our allies in the war upon ‘ignorance, poverty and disease. To win that war we must abolish waste and increase production. “McAdoo awarded five cents in railroad suit.” ‘In his straits, every little bit helps. | WHEN HE COMES BACK—LISTEN TO THE STORY OF PRIVATE DOG-EYES When the last soldier returns to his home he; Il have heard the last soldier problem of the demobilization period. Most of us have been wor- ying about the chance for work the home-comer will have, and feeble efforts have been made to} provide employment. | But there are other demobilization problems, and probably there are other soldiers who share with Private Dog-Eyes in a demobilization prob- lem which cannot be solved by human hands and mortal minds. For that reason, if for no other, we stay-at-homes should go far out of our way to take a bit of the drear and chill out of lives such as Private Dog-Eyes’. This Sioux warrior was ealled by Uncle Sam from his Rosebud cabin where aged parents tried their mightiest to “carry on” until the pride of their Redskin hearts came back. They couldn't understand this white men’s war, and they could- n’t understand how it was that some invisible hand reached way up into their South Dakota cabin and took Dog-Eyes, stalwart and strong, and their only child. The other day Private Dog-Eyes came back, adventure. The lieutenant called him to his tent and nobly over there the angels of death had visited his mother and father. The little house on the prairie is empty now. Neighbors say that Dog-Eyes’ father and mother died of broken hearts, each hoping to reach the “happy hunting already gone. The government is going to give Private Dog- Eyes an honorable ‘discharge and he is going— -“To where they lay,” he. said stoically, unbend- ing, uncomplaining. Out on the wind-swept prairies of the Rosebud country are two Indian graves. In the nearby cabin. window flaps a worn, home-made service flag. “That is ‘the story of Dog-Eyes’ war sacri- fice. 5 We have said much about the sacrifices of war, the brave boys who will never come back to sad- dened homes, those others who gave of their cour- ageous bodies to achieve victory, and now we are reminded by the story of Dog-Eyes that many a war veteran will come home to find vacant chairs, stilled hearts and eyes closed in eternal | sleep. With them we sincerely sympathize and for ithem we pray the healing hand which God and Incidentally it is the only war that will defeat; We made a good beginning at increasing produc- wise DAY, JAN. 15, 1919.

There was one factor, however, which marked the beginning of German surrender and that was the splendid system ‘of maintained ahd therefore serviceable highways ‘be- hind the allied west front.

The remainder belong to tribes which speak four different languages and offer only nom- inal submission to the government. The Krus elect their kings by the selection of the most avail- able man of the royal house. In the Jorroway tribe the king is an absolute monarch for a reign cf six years, and is then put to death. Other tribes also follow different customs. The tribes do not acknowledge the government lof Monrovia, because they feel that it does not protect them. By treaty the United States gov- ernment is required to help the Americo-Liberiang against the tribes, and in 1912 this country helped put down a rebellion of the Krus. The constitution of Liberia has a literacy test ed or failed to reach the market.
