THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER, (Established 1878) E> TOMORROW A man said, “I’ll oil my automobile tomor- row.” The next day found the bearings burnt out which meant a heavy expense in having them re- placed. Who loiters on the way must pay—and pay dearly. When you shirk your work you flirt with fail- ure just as sure as you flirt with death when you play marbles with dynamite. The glory of your past accomplishments cast no halo over the doings of the present or the dreams of the future. Doing nothing or putting off what you have to do will be the undoing of your reputation for past accomplishments. Time is money—or moneyless—as we choose to make it. Putting off until tomorrow is the most expen- sive habit you can cultivate, even including that of driving a high power automobile on Fifth avenue. for HERE’S A SENSIBLE DOC The tired business man has finally received a square deal. A worthy and, evidently, highly intelligent M. D. in a recent medical magazine “leader” as- serts that business men should not take violent physical exercise after a hard day in the office. They should not golf, and do gymnastic stunts, and endeavor to banish the waist line with Gre- cian bends. Instead they should take it easy, compose their souls in a soft chair, relax; that’s the word, relax. Fine business, and thank you, doc. Instead of the wife hustling us into a spiketail, after a hard day down town, and shunting us into the opera mob we will relax and, at our ease, in slippers and smoking jacket and cosy comfort, smooth out the wrinkles of our soul. No more will we delve in the garden, or mow the lawn, or clean out the chicken coop, and lug up wood from the basement. “Do not add physical exhaustion to your al- ready oppressive daily labors,” cautions doc. Believe us, esteemed sir, we won’t from this hour. Somehow we always felt that this craze for work was all wrong and that there was entirely too much exertion connected with the chore of living, but now that scientific authority has come to the rescue we will faithfully abide by the decision. Say, doc, how would a wheel chair do in getting about the office? Or would it be better to install a scooter sys- tem, so we could make the long fifty-foot journey to the cashier’s window on Saturdays without dan- ger of complete exhaustion? And you can bet our name is signed, from now on, with a rubber stamp; we will not risk our cherished health by wrestling with a fountain pen. BREAD BELT MOVES NORTHWARD What do you think of the brain power of a man who can extend the wheat belt 100 miles north- ward toward the everlasting snows? That is the accomplishment of Professor W. F. Thompson of Saskatchewan University. Not long since farmers jeered at the idea of science invading agriculture. Thompson is a scien- tist. And his discovery will revolutionize wheat growing in western Canada. As you travel north toward the Yukon, the summer season grows shorter. Beyond a certain point, wheat cannot be grown, for it does not have time to ripen before the first frost. Red Fife for years was the standard wheat grown in Canada. Then a government scientist developed Marquis wheat, which ripens a week sooner than Red Fife. The wheat belt moved 100 miles further north. A year ago a wheat wizard brought out Red Bobs, a wheat that ripens a week earlier than Mar- quis. The wheat belt advanced another hundred miles toward the North Pole. Now comes Professor Thompson with still an- other improved wheat. It ripens a week sooner than Red Bobs. Again the wheat belt knocks down the fences of climate and pushes northward. Professor Thompson’s discoveries will bring under cultivation millions of acres of land west of Hudson Bay that until now have been supposedly too far north for wheat growing. Amazing is man’s conquest of climate and weather. Consider the debt we owe to the inventor of the hothouse. It enables us to grow fresh vegeta- bles under glass while blizzards rage a few. feet were it not for'Tellier. ‘His invention gave us re- frigerator cars and cold storage plants. He died of starvation. When winter is at its worst, the furnace inven- tion enables you to live in summer temperature. You can change the atmosphere of your house to spring or autumn by merely touching a little magic box called thermostat. One scientist even proposes building a riprap jetty 200 miles long, extending out into the ocean from Newfoundland. It would change the course of the Gulf Stream and revolutionize the climate of Europe. The Witch of Endor and the black-art sorcerers of the Middle Ages would gape amazedly, could they but see the twentieth century magicians who by invention and laboratory research defy the ele- ments. WHERE REPUBLICANS STAND IN 1920 With a national campaign before us, it is in- teresting to note that the Republican party will seek no compromise with the socialists who have captured the state organization. In a recent state- ment Will Hays, chairman of the national Repub- lican committee, plainly sets forth the platform upon which the next national campaign will be waged. Two quotations suffice: “With all our power we will strive to prevent the further spread of socialism and set the nation’s feet once more firmly on the path of progress and along ways which liberty and order must ever guard and preserve.” And again: “We will not forget that while we fight to make certain the rights of free government in the world, we have a republic to preserve in this country ; that we are a representative government and not a Bolshevist syncopation.” The proper note is sounded. It should prove a strong rally cry the nation over. GETTING THE BIG HEAD Hatters throughout the country report a short- age in their stocks of large size hats and a surplus of small sizes. Their orders for the spring and summer trade were based on the accepted propor- tion of sizes but somehow, they say, the small sizes do not sell in the way they should and the large sizes sell like hot cakes are supposed to sell. They have studied the situation and are at a loss for a satisfactory explanation. Men who gen- erally wear a seven, now find a 7 1-8 necessary and the former 7 1-8 man must have a 7 1-8 stretched or take a 71-4, As for the 7 1-4 man they cannot be comfortable with anything less than a 7 3-8. If the change in the size of men’s heads was confined to soldiers, hatters say, they would be in- clined to believe victory or life in the open had made the cranium of the doughboy swell a bit but it is the same with many civilians. Not only that but in London the hatters have had the same experience as the Americans. There, if anything, the demand for larger sizes has been more pronounced than here. If you ask a Frenchman to explain any latter day phenomena he will answer c‘est le guerre. So far no reports in regard to the size of hats have come from the German hatters, Until they come the enlarged head of the An- glo-Saxon may continue to be a puzzle. CLIMATE AND DIVORCE North Carolina has the best record of any state in the union in the matter of divorce. In 6 out of its 102 counties there were no divorces in a year. In only one county, Transylvania, did the total exceed the average for the United States which is 112 per 100,000 of population. The rate for the whole of North Carolina is 31 or only 36 per cent of the nation’s average. A captious person might insist that South Car- olina’s record is better as there were no divorces there but the answer is that divorce is impossible sani owing to the fact that there are no divorce laws. The northern states show far more divorces than those of the south. There are two explana- tions. One is that in the south divorce is not con- sidered so lightly by the whites as it is in the north, the social lines being more tightly drawn there against an offender guilty of violating the marital vow and the other being that among the blacks, who form a large part of the population, divorce is too costly and the easier way is to call the marriage off and let it go at that. Whether there is merit in the statement that there is more of chastity in warm climates than in cold is open to question but so far as the official records go there are more divorces per capita in WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1919. hn CR | OUR DAILY BREAD _ | P NON q } ee i TOWNLEY ANNOUNCES PLAN BY WHICH HE HOPES TO CONTROL CROPS OF STATE The first intimation of the plan, through which A. C. Townley hopes to control the production and market- ing of North Dakota crops is con- tained in the following article from an official league organ: A marketing ‘system which in all probability transcends anything ever planned before in size. completeness of organiaztion' and democracy of op-| eration, is before the indusirial com- mission in Bismarck and will in all) probability be adopted and worked out and put into opeartion before the end of this coming winter. This information was given out a few days ago by Prof. J. A. Hover- stad, “formerly ‘of) Minneapolis, who was employed by Dr. EB. F. Ladd un- der the industrial commission to or- ganize a marketing system that would cover the whole state of North Da- kota and take in all farm producers and farm, products. Professor Hoverstad, who has been authorizéd to spend $9,000 appro- priated by the ast legislature for this work, has been studying the question ever since his appointment and laid his tentative plan before the commis- sion several weeks ago. The com- mission has favored the plan suffi- ciently to permit: its publication. Comprehensive Plan This marketing system is without doubt the biggest, most important and far-reaching plan conceived to date by the organized farmers and probably means more in the ultimate than anything they have yet attempt- ed, for it contemplates the complete organization of all the producers of the state.to handle all the agricultural products co-operatively in the domes- tic, national and foreign markets. It is the redemption of the fundamental pledge of the organized farmers that they would completely emancipate the producers by placing the marketing of their products in their own hands. EVERETT TRUE It is the second great stride of the organized farmers. The first stride— the establishment of state-owned ele- vators, flour mills, packing plants, Warehouses, cold storage plants, creameries, the state bank, state in- surance in various forms, state coal mines and other methods of bringing marketing, finance and insurance more directly under the control of the people will have been made when the referred laws are indorsed by the elec tors on June 26. This lays the foun- dation for the next step—the building | up of a great state-wide marketing system for handling all farm products based upon these publicly owned utili- ties. If the answer of the people in June is favorable and the first step is taken, the second step will be taken before another year rolls around and North Dakota will be placed in the most independent and secure position of any commonwealth in the world—it will be entirely free from private monopolies at home and abroad and will carry its own products to the consumers everywhere. _ Plan Already Under Way _ With nothing in the way of estab- lishing this great peoples’ marketing system the industrial commission thru Dr. Ladd and Prof. Hoverstad has proceeded with the second part of its great program, _ Professor Hoverstad has been study- ing for a year the problem of a new 1 co-operative and democratic market- ing system that would-include all the farm producers. During that period he has visited the great marketing centers like Minneapolis where mar- keting is done by and for the trust, and has attempted in this way to com- bine what is most efficient in big busi- , ness with a system owned and con- trolled by the actual producers.’ The result, as Prof, Hoverstad explained,| is a system reaching from local ware- house associations covering the a ae ae i = FAIZ | ey i é i on northern Europe than southern Europe and more in the northern states of the United States than in the southern. There is wide difference in the divorce laws in our states but in all except South Carolina one cause—adultery—is accepted. When the farmers adopt the 44-hour week, part of the problem will be to find a substitute for eats. Munitions plants would go out of business if we could make it as hard to start a war as it was to arrange peace, Germany will now have the full confidence of every man who thinks a mad dog can be trusted after being whipped. Great nations are strong for the theory that overhead. You city, dwellers would rarely eat fresh meat, one is his brother’s keeper, provided the business of keeping nets a profit. CRY. — o CEAVS HIM THERE TLL WE SSS Get To THS Stock Yards state thru district exchanges to the central state exchange. Concerning this state-wide market- ing system, Prof. Hoverstad said: State-Wide Association “I have really been assigned two tasks—to outline a preliminary mar- keting organization and to outline a permanent state-wide association. The first program contemplates a ser- ies of 53 county conferences for the organization of county agricultural organization societies. Each of these 53 county conferences is to elect a delegate to a state marketing con- vention when the plans already out- lined will be presented and experts will be consulted and out of the wishes and opinions of the delegates, the experience and knowledge of ex- perts and the plans already outlined the final system of marketing for the whole state will be evolved by the convention. This will give the people of North Dakota a marketing system that they will democratically choose and or- ganize themselves and will in no sense be an attempt to impose a system on them by one man or the industrial commission. “Whatever plan is adopted by the state marketing convention will be referred back to the county agricul- tural organizations for ratification. If it is ratified by the county organiza- tions, steps will be taken immediately to put it into operation. This consti- tutes the first part of the plan as it has been worked out. Main Features of System “As to the actual plan I have worked cut and have offered to the people of North Dakota to adopt or reject or amend or change to suit themselves, the following are the main features: “First. Local warehouse associa- tions. These should be composed of those growers of farm crops who are close enough together so they can de- liver their products to a central point. These associations should be organized under the co-operative laws. They should own and operate their own ele- vators, potato warehouses, stockyards, cold storage plants, etc. The duties of these associations should be to re- ceive, store, pack, sack and load the farm products. All members should have an equal vote in the association. They should have a board of directors and an executive committee that will be in charge of the business of the as- sociation, The warehouse should be in charge of a manager employed by the board. “Second. These group warehouse associations should organize them- selves into a district selling agency. This should be composed of one dele- gate from each warehouse association. The executive committee of the board should hire the sales manager. He would be in charge of the selling of the farm products of all the warehouse associations composing the member- ship in the district exchange. Local warehouse managers might do the selling, but they should have the au- thority of the district sales manager. “Third. The state central exchange should be composed of one delegate from each of the district exchanges. The central exchange will be the ad- ministrative and educational office. The duties of the central exchange shall be: To Develop Market “1, Locate or develop domestic or foreign markets for farm products. “2. To advertise North Dakota farm products. u “3. To be in charge of telegraphic and.cable reports on foreign and do- mestic markets in order to route the cars most intelligently. 4, To investigate into the com- mercial standings of business con- cerns with which the state exchange is dealing. “5. To be in charge of the sales agencies outside the state. “6, To attend to all legal work. “7, To suggest to growers what crops the markets will demand. “8, To study and try td improve the transportation problem. “9, To attend to any other admin- istrative work that naturally would belong to the central state @xchange. “This association, as o@tli i primarily designed for the farm products, but the sai WORE GOOD THAN ° EVERYTHING ELSE Change In Climate, Medicines And Treatments Failed to Help Ben- ich—Tanlac Restores Him. “Treatment, medicines, change of climate nor anything else helped me until I got Tanlac,” said John Benich, a well known boiler maker employed by the Union Iron Works of San rrancisco and living at 2499 Green- wich avenue, recently. For eight years, before coming to San Fran- cisco, Mr. Benich was boiler maker for the Union Pacific railroad in Kan- sas City, Mo. Mr. Benich owns his home in Kansas City, which he states he left sometime ago in search of his health, “During te past year and a half,” he continued, “I have simply suffered torture with my stomach, My food would sour almost as soon as I had eaten and gas would form and cause such terrible cramping pains in the pit of my stomach that I could hard- ly stand them. Many a night I have just rolled and tossed all night long, so racked with pain that I could not sleep. I also suffered a great deal from intestinal trouble. Sometimes I was dreadfully constipated and at other times was troubled from just the opposite condition. I just tried everything that was recommended but codldn’t find anything that would help me. @ took two special courses of treatment, and even sent to Italy for a medicine a friend of mine claim- em wonders for. I also tried living on a diet of very light things, but kept getting worse. I was losing weight and getting so nervous I could hardly do my work. At last I became so miserable and uneasy about my condition that we packed up and mov- ed here to. San Francisco, hoping the change of climate and salt air would do the work that medicine had failed to do. «4 “But everything disappointed me until my wife read in the papers about Tanlac and urged me to try it. Well, I got me a bottle of Tanlac and when I finished taking it without feel- ing any better I just thought, yes, more money thrown away. And‘then I decided maybe I hadn’t given it a fair trial, so I got the second bottle and my stomach hasn't given me the least bit of trouble since I finished taking it. I have taken three bot- tles now and talk about rating! My! I eat like a wolf and never have a sign of gas nor a pain of any sort, and I’m always ready with a big ap- petite for the next meal. I sleep like a log for eight or nine hours every night and wish I had time to sleep more. Tanlac has done me more good than' everything else put together and my only regret is that I didn’t have it before I left my own home in Kansas. City. _ Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N D. and J. H. Marrett and in Wing by F. P. Homan. Advt. chase the commodities the farmers are in need of.” Embodies Recall of Officials Professor Hoverstad’s plan includes provision for democratic manage- ment for voting and expressing the will of the membership and such dem- ocratic safeguards as the recall for any official who failed to perform sat- isfactory service or worked contrary to the interests of the producers, or proved untrustworthy. The state would have complete supervision of the business transactions of the associa- tion and would practically examine the books, This system would possess the fol- lowing advantages: It would consti- tute a united selling and buying pow- er that would command the great ad- vantages that come with powerful wholesale selling and buying; it would make possible scientific and expert management and marketing on a co- lossal scale eliminating waste and securing the greatest possible econ- omy; it would enable the use of the widest possible marketing knowledge and would be in a position to apply this knowledge in the most advan- tageous way by being able always to find the best markets and the best prices; it would be able te build up a name and reputation for North Da- kota products that would give them a decided advantage in the markets; it could take care of products, especially perishable products, in a way that would practically eliminate waste; it would eliminate the wastes and costs of unnecessary middlemen and unnec- essary handling and constitute the shortest route possible from producer to consumer and would save an im- mense sum for both producer and consumer; it would free the crops of North Dakota from the exactions and extortions of monopolists and the thefts of speculators and gamblers and make North Dakota independent, self-sustaining and prosperous. | _ This marketing system, or one simi- lar to it inaugurated by the people will be in operation in time to realize great benefits from it in the marketing of next year’s crops. Rejoices Daughter Can Resume Studies “Everything my little 12-year-old girl ate distressed her; even a glass of water would cause her to belch gas and she was unable to go to school for nearly a year. I bought her a bottle of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy and since taking it she is eating us out of house and home and is attend- ing school again.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intes- tinal tract and allays the inflamma- tion which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ail- ments, including appendicitis. “One dose will convince or money re- funded.
