(Established 1873) REPLACE UNCERTAINTY WITH CONFIDENCE | If you want to stimulate business inject confi- dence into the buying public. Do it not only once but keep it going, and to do this every community has the right tonic if applied. Never in the history of America was there More need of applying the remedy than right now, and each locality has the remedy. While there is hovering over a community the dread of hard times, and uncertainty as to what the future holds in store, the average housewife as well as the head of the family, plans curtailment. If the great in- dustries that go to make up the industrial world, would act jointly and publicly declare that during the ensuing twelve months wages would not be cut, you would find a healthy response from the buying public. Confidence would be instilled, and that is the greatest factor to bridge over a period of uncertainty. Business is good, and if the whole United States from Maine t6 California, and from Canada to Mexico would issue a statement that wages were not to be cut, it would replace uncertainty with confidence, and this country we dare say would enter upon an ear of prosperity unequalled even during war times. Let a man think he is ill, because he has some little ache or pain and if he broods over it long enough he will be a mighty sick man.. Not only does it effect him, but the family circle as well. Let the manufacturer assure labor that wages will not be.cut during the coming twelve months and we venture to say that instead of an atmosphere of. uncertainty we will have confidence, the real asset as a business getter and a business builder. Now that we have made things nice and safe for Burope, let us get busy and make America safe from the imported scum of Europe. YEP, THIS IS THE MOST HEROIC DEED ae OF’ ALL How can they be so heroic as to do it? “We stay-at-home civilians will never understand it! We couldn’t do it in a thousand years—never, never, never, though we have time and again and our firm intention of doing it! We refer ‘to a certain daily act of tremendous repeatedly at home and in the club bragged about heroism performed by many of the returned heroes who have come back from the land of machine guns and shrapnel and who are now making us stand in awe of them because of this self-same| daily deed. Talk about bravery! We can understand gal- lantry under fire, the saving of a comrade’s life under terrible circumstances and all that. We can understand the heroic endurance of heart-break- ing conditions in the trenches—slime and mud and ooze and filth and all that. But this thing— this sublimely heroic daily deed which the re- turned soldiers think nothing of but which makes us civilians stand in amazement and gasp in awe! When we stay-at-homes gather at lunch or at “the club we talk about it in whispers. It doesn’t seem possible that the thing can really be—it is too tremendous, too enormously brave for our prosaic minds to comprehend. How can they do} it—how can they do it? We who did it once in our lives and have been parading it ever since, go off in a dark corner and bemoan our timidity. We know that even with the heart-warming example of these heroes we will never even make a try at it again. i How can a man be so brave—so supremely heroic as to do it day after day, week after week, month after month, and think it nothing? iy We refer to that act of heroism to which civil- i * ians never attain—we refer, in short, to that thing which calls for such tremendous heroism and _bravery and which so many returned soldiér daily take, namely—A COLD SHOWER BATH! The reason why Europe is willing to trust her futire to America is because we don’t jerk off our cape and try to look humble when a possessor of ancestors rides by. : Daniels is going over to study the latest type of ships, and we were just wondering-if Burleson - would decide to go over and study the latest type t of mailed fists. : The healthiest sign in America is the fact that he is in sympathy with the scum whose patron ig f meses sible; the police would probably think him a liar and a Bolshevist anyway. After that row at Tien Tsin, a court-martial will tell it to the marines. , O Happy Day! Peanuts have been released from the list of restricted imports. Gentlemen may cry Peace! Peace! but there is no peace until civilization or Bolshevism is dead. Supreme war council would limit Germany’s standing army to 100,000 men. More power to Proof that conditions in Germany are normal again is contained in the dispatch that both Spar- tacans and government troops “acted like wild beasts.” ’ : The Tageblatt has learned that the league is to be a mere league of arms against Germany. It is more than that, Heinie; but thank Heaven it is that also. Carranza has decided to collect a royalty tax on oil produced by foreign companies, and someone should tell old whiskers that the league for peace isn’t doing business yet. Despite South ‘America’s pitiful wail for popu- lar automobiles and toilet goods, we are about to take those ships off the South American run and send them to people who regard food as a luxury. WITH. THE EDITOR THE WORTH OF A NEWSPAPER A newspaper in‘a town is a factor in the growth and development of that locality. No town is complete without a weekly newspaper. Kill it off and you have destroyed one of your best boosters. You will not have a publisher in your midst fa- miliar with conditions and acquainted with the people, to give the news and happenings of the town and community. No paper to give the people at first hand events to take place and items of interest that every community should have. The legal publications in town, the township and school BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE CANT FALL TO Acts of 16th Assembly districts tributary to the paper should be published therein, It is no joke to finance a country news- paper with this support. To have a legislature deliberately and premeditatedly legislate this sup- port away from a paper and give it one paper is wrong,.and arouses the wrath of the country press and the community that has a paper in their midst. The county commissioners proceednigs is the only printing published in three papers and all other legals are published over the county in the different papers. If the legislature wished to save the taxpayer they would:have cut the legal rate or passed a law letting the commissioners proceedings to the.lowest'bidedr. Bunehing ‘all legal notices in ‘one paper, robs the country newspaper and fattens up the one selected, and is no saving to the tax- payer. The country newspaper has a kick coming and they can’t be expected to have much love for those passing the law.—The Carson Press. A SIX-HOUR DAY A six-hour working day with a two-hour lunch period for every industry is labor’s vision of the industrial Eden as expressed in a demand by the Labor Congress recently held in Chicago. A two- hour lunch sandwiched in between two three-hour slices of labor looks good, if served out impartially to every working mortal and guaranteed to be permanent. ; But it cannot be made general ‘nor can it be guaranteed to be permanent—not yet. The foun- dation industry of the world, the production of bread, butter and meat, cannot be pursued on the six-hour plan. Sun and rain and frost determine the work hours of one-third, the agricultural third of the labor of American. Farming cannot be made permanently profitable without domestic animals. These animals cannot be left alone for eighteen hours out of the twenty-four. The human animal on the farm cannot be fitly bedded and fed by six hours of work. Any intelligent farmer’s wife can testify to that. The model division of the day into eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep, and eight hours for play, may some day be realized for all labor that is not at the mercy of weather and season. Such a division seems reasonable, for a decent mar- gin for recreation is every man’s birthright. But the farmer, by virtue of his calling, is compelled to spend at certain seasons, more than eight hours in the field and much of the rest of his waking time in “choring around.” If he works with horses he must feed them two hours before they begin HOUSE BILLS. 1,—An Act to fix and limit attor- neys’ fees and all costs on the fore- closure of liens and mortgages by ad- vertisement. 2.—An Act to amend and re-enact Section 6076 of the Compiled Laws of the statt of North Dakota for the year 1913 relating to penalty for usury. * 6.—A concurrent resolution: Agree- ing to a proposed amendment to the constitution: of the state of North Da- kota by changing the number of elec- by initiative petition; by changing the time in which: the initiative petition may be filed, and the duties, of. the secretary of state with respect there- to; by. reducing the number of signers required for referendum petitions, by providing fora referendum on emer- gency measures and for special elec- tions thereon; -‘by providing for the circulation of, and designating the force to be given, such petitions and the publicity to be ziven thereto and providing for repeal or amendment of such nieasures by the legislature, and declaring that said amendment bas be- come a part of the constitution of the state. 7.—A.concurrent resolution.

Less than ten hours for the horse means a rise in the cost of the standard foods. Before the war farming was not a super-profit- able industry. It was rather a mode of living. - It will go back to that basis. Much of the food pro- duced on American farms was produced at a ficti- tiously low cost because the soil was being robbed. For example, dollar wheat is an impossibility in honest farming. It cannot be produced on the farm at that figure today, if the fertility of the soil is maintained. © The practicability of the six-hour day then‘de- work in making them fit for the next day’s labor. | tha kota | by providing for the future amendment thereof; and declaring it said amendment has become\ a Part of the constitation ofthe state. {. 11.—Concurrent resolution.
