And in a way other than accumulating interest and the honest opportunities always open to the man with cash. | A man with only a job between himself and the immediate bread and butter problem must stay right on that job. : : A man with even a small amount in saving can afford the time to hunt a better job and can ex- periment with himself for enlarged opportunity and increased earnings. * * * The thing most of us fear most is this bread and butter problem. Saving will eliminate this fear. And even though a man might not withdraw a dollar from his savings while seeking a better job, yet-his accumulation gives him moral. support, the courage to act in improving his condition. The courage of most-of-us can be measured to the degree that we are away from the immediate problem—the bread and butter problem. Then, free‘from the paralyzing influence of fear, we might all do better work, and see enlarged opportunity in our present jobs. A WONDERFUL NIGHT Probably they still hang baskets on the door knob of their best beloved on May night, some- where in this big land. But never a May Day comes but what it brings the faint scent of wood violets and the wild grass flowers of the prairies. = May day nights were nothing in our young iboisterous lives yntil our thirteenth year, when Cupid shot us so full'df holes that we have never been. downright ablebodied since. We remember we had been out angling for sunfish; and we came home through the dusk and the spring dust, with our half dried little string of fish dangling against our bare legs. .The family had gone away somewhere, and after surrounding a cold apple pie, and ten dough- nuts, and half a galfon of buttermilk, hung in the well bucket, and other odds: and~ends, we saun- tered out the front door and’something was dang- ling from the knob. We found a lamp and investigated, and it was a little black wicker basket, full of apple blossom and violets, and it had for emphasis, a Valentine, lacy sort of card that advised us that somebody loved us. And we sat down there in the moonlight and had our case of love at first sight all alone. We didn’t know who it was, we weren’t espe-: cially interested in personalities. But we discovered that girls, all of ’em, are wonderful creatures, and that there was a mystery in the universe that we had never suspected. And we went about for days with our secret, and not another blessed thing, inside our heads ov heagts. That was a long time ago; a long time ago. THE BASIS OF CIVILIZATION The income and leisure of the people determine a nation’s civilization. Burying this fact in phrases, denouncing it as materialistic, narrow and selfish does not alter it. We may sing of the blessings of poverty, the joy pf love in a cottage, the discipline of economy and application, but when we have offered homage to education, cul- ture, contentment and the whole pantheon of vir- tues of the simple life, we find these gods all have feet in the clay of common needs. It is still true that the worst enemy of the poor is their poverty. High wages and ample leisure remain the foun- dation of any social ideal and most of the private virtues, and will continue to be so until labor be- comes leisure and work constructive play—some- thing less fantastic than the words seem to convey. Along with low wages and long hours come drunkenness and crime, high death-rate and stupi- fying ignorance, riots and social disorder. Life lengthens with income and broadens with hours of well employed leisure. The cigarmakers’ union doubled its members’ lives in 20 years by raising wages and shortening hours. Infant death-rates give a ghastly obverse to this picture. The children’s bureau of the federal government found that where the family income averaged less than $450 annually, 168 of every 1000 babies born die in the first year. If the income is between $450 and $59 only 135 perish in the first twelve months. When the income reaches $1250, still less than a decent wage, only 65 die. A “living wage” is not a figure of speech. The Low wages cause and aggravate ‘sickness, Sickness adds to poverty. So the vicious, deadly circle draws in upon the worker. High wages are the greatest enemy of illiter- acy. labor from the child and send ito school. Night schools for adults fail everywhere to reach the low paid long time workers—who are mostly illiterate. An eight-hour day and a living wage send more men to night schools than all the floods of posters, leaflets and preaching devoted to urging attend- ance upon overworked and underpaid illiterates. Housing, education, healthful amusement, “general culture” of all kinds rest on the same hard material basis. In the world’s civilization those nations lead whose people receive the larg- est income and the greatest leisure for growth. GOING FISHING Hey there, Mr. Man, wipe that worried look off your face, stow your troubles in your roll top desk and pull down the top and then go fishing. You’ve not been fishing for a long, long time now, not since you were a kid and hauled catfish out of the town creek with a home made hook and line amid the jealous glances of all the other fellows. It isn’t fair to yourself to mope and browse and fret around your office all the time, never getting out into the country where way bills cease from troubling and correspondence is at rest. Come on, old scout! Of course you may not catch, any fish, but what’s the difference? It’s not so much the fish that constitute the fascination of fishing as it is the loafing around in the midst of nature with never a worry or care. It’s the scent of the coun- tryside, the exchange of commonplaces with the folks you meet, the smokeg,and the eats and the forgetting of all the fretyxa \d vexations of daily life that make fishing-s@sfascinating. If you do catch something so mu¢} mu know no matter how small it in you and it, it will grow in size as time goes on and you re-tell the story of the day’s outing. Come on, you poor, cross, worried, good old scout, you owe it to yourself to get away for a day and get all tuned up again. THE OUT-OF-TOWN SHOPPER STABS HIS HOME TOWN IN THE BACK! , The other dav in a certain Chicago hospital a young man volunteered to have his arm strapped to a little child’s, and to let the healthy blood from his veins flow into hers. The operation saved the child’s life. Such an. act is heroic, in its place But'‘need: we of , Bismarck. be FOOLISHLY heroic? =) a ! ; Are New York and Chicago, and our large neighbor cities, like frail infants on‘hospital cots, perishing for want of blood? Need we open our veins to them as freely as the Chicago youth did to the little child in the hospital? Just think that query.oyer before you mail off your next -money order;\or before: you make an out-of-town shopping ‘trip. The cities that’ house great mail order institu- tions are not suffering from lack of money— Bismarck need not exhaust its life blood for their sakes, : Have you ever stopped to think that each time you shop by mail, each time you order goods out of town, each time you send off your hard earned cash to pay somebody else’s profits in some other city, you are stabbing your own town in the back? More than that, do you realize that every one of these little cuts in the back is a wound that actually drains the life blood of your own city— your own home? ‘ When you buy out of town you are helping to produce civic anemia, —-The -flow—of--currency through a community-is: parallel to that of blood through human véins. Where.it circulates lustily there is health, strength, well-being and long life. But when it is drained off, lassitude, feebleness, misery and death result. You can no more separate your own well-being from that of Bismarck as a whole than you can cut off your arm and expect that it will continue to function usefully all by itself. Your prosperity is Bismarck’s and Bismarck’s is YOURS. Bismarck’s prosperity depends upon the con- tinued flow of good money through its commercial arteries. Bismarck’s prosperity depends upon its industrial soundness, its realty values, the sta- bility of its merchants, the resources of its banks, the circulating wealth of its inhabitants. are linked indissolubly with the prosperity of the town you live in. Your most vital social interest is to maintain the commercial strength of the en- terprises which have made Bismarck their home. It is alike your civic duty and your personal interest, to “Boost Bismarck, and buy in Bis- marck.” Let us have no futile blood transfusion. Let us not impair the strength of our town’s ‘circulatory system for the benefit of some other and larger community which really doesn’t need your help, after all, and would- n’t even appreciate our needless sacrifice, if we made it. : Let us keep our money at home, for the benefit of our own merchants, our own town, our own selves. Irving Fisher, the great Yale economist, pre- dicts that pre-war prices can never be restored. Don’t wait for an impossible Utopia of cheap prices. ~~ between it and a “dying wage” is writ- lea i. cae mortality tables, : Buy what you need when you need it. And buy it in Bismarck!

It was believed that the NC4 could be. repaired in time for the “jump off.” The blaze which Commander John H.
