(Established 1878) GES ————— WHERE THE URBAN TRAINED FARMER WINS The city man turned farmer, and tens of thou- sands of him are turning, is usually an object of sympathy to the sorrowing neighbors for some moons after he begins to sow, and to cultivate and, maybe, to harvest. But there is one thing the city man on the farm does do that the average lifelong farmer does not. On the rare occasions when‘the city man has anything to sell he sells it in the best market. Also he usually buys in a cheaper market than his neighbor, who has a line of credit at the coun- try store, and who never bothers about prices. If we were to be asked for the most significant clue to the new agriculture, we would choose the new salesmanship that farmers are beginning to adopt. Many farmers now have their own truck lines, and transport their products direct to the city public markets, or the retailers and commission houses. The urban mind first saw the advantage of the farmer having his own “railroad.” The city man may not raise much on his agri- cultural experiment station, but his sense of man- agement, his ideas of salesmanship, and his knowl- edge of the power of co-operation will be a God- send to the real producers. The other nations love Uncle Sam for the same reason that the first baby is named after the uncle who has the most money. THE WAR BRIDE AND HANDS ACROSS THE SEA The all-seeing editorial eye evidently has been troubled with a sty or something of late, or it would have paid more heed to these arriving bat- talions of war brides. We can see a lot of interesting eventualities trailing along just behind these troops of English and French women, who have married our soldiers, or have become married unto them, and who are coming “home”to get acquainted with “his folks.” ‘But of one thing we are certain, their coming will forever erase the last of our provincialism. In one second class American city 27 French and English brides arrived in a few weeks re- cently. In 27 families in this city will be a mother who can tell her children of new lands, new customs, new ideals; a mother who will have cosmopolitan children, who will go out into the world unham- pered by the old narrow viewpoint of the typical American. And yet, children who have a higher regard for their own country, and its institutions, because they will know what sort of a world it was “over there” when mother was a girl. These thousands of brides are binding the free- dom-loving peoples, not their governments per- haps, but the peoples, together with thousands of invisible wires of love and sympathy, and, in time, England and France will understand that America is not exclusively populated by red Indians, just as we are discovering that the Frenchman is clean minded, and the Englishman can really see a joke without a reading glass. Insularity makes for suspicion, for bigotry, and for injustice to our fellows. f The wedding rings on the graceful fingers of ten thousand war brides are links in a golden chain of understanding that should make war between the great nations of the world forever impossible. At that, the way the graduates settled world problems was about as rational as some of the solutions offered by statesmen. DOWN AND OUT.KINGS The cables tell us former King Constantine of Greece is broke and is trying to patch up some sort of a deal with Venizelos by which he may get some sort of an allowance. Since he departed from Athens Constantine has been “grub-staked” by former Kaiser Wilhelm but the once kaiser seems to be a bit shy of money. Former King Nicholas of Montenegro is pot- tering about Paris making a “touch” wherever he finds a charitable and affluent gentleman with sympathy for royalty in distress, Nicholas de- serves sympathy. He is the most aggravatingly bowlegged person who ever wore a crown. When he endeavors to walk north or south his legs act as if they wished to take him east or west. Ex-Kaiser Carl of Austria-Hungary not only is “busted” financialy but matrimonialy. He is in Switzerland sending out “S. 0. S.” calls to persons with money who formerly kowtowed to him but now do not seem to hold him either in reverence or esteem. King Peter of Serbia, broken in health and wretchedly poor is in a sad state. He is in a Greek village by the sea almost beridden and with few creature comforts. His son is acting as regent. Peter still remains a king in name but his country is a wreck. These certainly are parlous days for monarchs. Even Wilhelm Hohenzollern, who was to have ruled the world and upon whose temper the fates of nations depended, is none too strong financially. He was the richest man in Europe a few years ago, had 33 castles, and a personal income of millions a year. Now he is endeavoring to make a deal with the German republic by which he may get ‘oy [Some sort of an allowance for himself and his tribe. Dukes have gone into the discard. Princes are in poverty. The world, so far as those who were fortune’s favorites by “Divine Right” is topsy turvy and seems destined to remain so. This is a distressful state of affairs especially for the vast number of persons who worshipped at the feet of these puppets. But bad as conditions are for the once mighty they are worse for the literary persons who wrote novels about royalties and near royalties. The world is bankrupt so far as they are concerned. Are we to have no more novels written about the lords of creation? Are we to have no new crop of literary persons who followed on the lines of The Duchess, Walter Scott, Thackeray, Ouida, Marion Crawford and the like who pointed a moral or adorned a tale with royal or lordly precept or person? It looks as if this war not only has bankrupted the world for royalty but for the writers of roy- alty rubbish. When a man sets up a little shop of his own, he would give almost anything for a 44-hour day. Someone should explain to thé senate that its job is to ratify a treaty, not to ratify a president. Paying the indemnity won’t trouble Heinie much more than digging up the funds to enable the Hohenzollerns to live the way they were raised. WITH THE EDITORS | fetta pr tech HITS ULTIMATE CONSUMER You will notice that the legislation passed by the last legislature and which has been alluded to as such fine dope for the people of the state, is going into effect with very startling effect to the consumer these days. The new eight hour law for instance is causing an upward tendency on eat- ables that comes out of the pocket of the dear pub- lic with alarming regularity. Coffee at the eating counters has gone up to 10c per cup, double, dough- nuts the same—they. could leave the hole out of the doughnut we presume—to cover the extra cost. And so on all along the line. Hotel bills advancing with alarming regularity regardless of whether it is right or wrong and the dear people are the suf- ferers. The restaurant and hotel keepers claim that the eight hour law causes them to employ more help so they pass the buck to the consumer. When the farmer comes to town to trade and wants to get a lunch it will cost him double and if he wants to remain in town over night it will cost him from 25c to 50 for his room more than it did before July 1. Contemplate the scene, some of you people who have been telling us that the new laws are not going to hurt. Maybe calomel is needed to clear the vision and those who have been boosting these new laws are the ones who need this kind of dope. Where is all this to end. Then take this workmen’s compensation law—that is another big bill of expense for those who have men to employ. One employer got his tax bill of expense this morning for this new law alone and he was as- sessed $202.46. Does anybody think that we are going to get our taxes raised 30c as some of the league leaders said from the platform or $2.87 as one of our brilliant league business men—an ex- pert in political economy—said some months ago. Figures talk, not hot air, and we are just beginning to get the figures. God bless our home.—Valley City Times-Record. } BEGINNING OF THE END The writer spent Monday and Tuesday of this week in Bismarck and took a particular interest in finding out the attitude of the big fellows since the election. As near as the Record man could judge, the anti forces are jubilant over the showing made and the more tough-hided Townleyites are‘show- ing a very bitter spirit. “The Beginning of the End” is the way the result is generall yexpressed. The Record finds among the league farmers an attitude since election that speaks well for the future. As one farmer up at Hazelton put it, “Reason with them instead of trying to buck them.” This man has been an ardent league mem- ber, but apparently he hasn’t secured just the results he liked. With both sides polling in the fifty-thousand figures in an election where some 110,000 votes were cast, it looks like there would be no more walk-aways. A_close vote will do wonders to trim the sails of the revolutionary leaders who have been running things. A league farmer from Union, when he heard the returns of Emmons county, said “It’s a good thing. It will teach them a lesson to go a little slower.”—-Emmons County. Record. ' BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, JULY 10, SECOND ALARM! > | HISTORIC HOUSE INTO DISCARD Philadelphia, . July 10.—Another landmark of George Washington is to go into the discard. The histori¢é Washington House, noted as a hotel’ since .1746, is to be torn down as‘ soon as prohibition be- comes effective, it is announced. In its place willbe: erected &. modern hotel, office building and . theatre. The place is filled with reminis- cences of Washington and revolu- tionary times... Washington: retreated to it. after the disaster of Brandy- wine. A bronze tablet reads: In this room September 11, 1777, Washing- ton wrote the énly’teport of the bat- tle of Brandywine.”' Previously Washington had been & guest in this hostelry then known as the Washington Arms, and again, when making the journey from Washington to New. York when: he was elected president, he with his retinue had breakfast in the hotel’ dining room. To ‘commemorate this event the Daughters'of the American Revolution erected a tablet reading: “This marks this house as the place where Washington wrote at midnight the only report of the battle of Erandywine, September 11, 1777. Here Washington also received the congratulations of the people of Chester upon his election as the first president of the United States, April 20, 1789.” After- the evacuation of Philadel- phia by the British army the name of the hotel was changed to the Wash- ington House. On each occasion when Washing- ton stopped at the hotel the best room in the house’ was placed at his disposal. The fine mahogany chairs which were in this!.room. are still preserved as historic relics. When Washington departed from == = E My Dear mr, Skweez : You ASK WHAT CAN BE UVING QUARTERS.

There it was that La- fayette’s wounds were dressed by Mary Gorman on the night of the batile of Brandywine.’ Tennis Tournament Attracts Entries Kansas City, Mo., July 9.—All the well known Chicago tennis players will compete in. the western tennis cham- Ponships played at the Rockhill Ten- nis club courts at Kansas City, starting July 28th, according to a letter trom J, C. Stewart, of Chicago, secretary of the Western Lawn. Tennis association. Among these .players are Heath By-- ford, Walter T. Hayes, Ralph Burdick, Sam Hardy, Jerry and Jimmy Weber and Al Green. Al Green recently won the Chicago city championship from Walter T, Hayes, Stellar court per- formers from all parts of the United States are expected to participate in the western tennis championship tourn- aments here. The right to enter the national jdoubles turnament at Longwood, Aug- ust 12th, is expected to. swell the en- tries in the double event‘of the west- ern play and to make competition. keen in that section of the court contests. Prominent women tennis artists are being invited by the local women’s committee and Kansas City girls plan to entertain the visitors at their homes during the week. The tournament is to be supervised by the Kansas City Tennis association and representatives have been selected from the various tennis country and athletic clubs to act.on the tourna- ment committee. The direct manage- ment of the tournament will be given to three members from the Rockhill club, D. Reedy Campbell of this city will act as official referee. BY CONDO DONE TYERFIELD | FEMININE JUDGES TO HEAR CASES Calgary, Alberta, July 10—When the Marys and Janes and Susies of Alberta who get into trouble that takes them into a court room they find that they get a “square deal” from feminine magistrates who hear their stories. The experiment of ap- pointing women commissioners for the juvenile court two years ago has been exceedingly successful, accord- ing to the tenth annual departmental report issued. ‘The advantage of having girls tried before a commissioner and offi- cers-who are sympathetic members of their own sex is so valuable that it is a wonder that the system was not initiated years ago,” the report says. The report also tells of the work done in behalf of neglected and de- pendent children during the year 1918. An increase in the number of such children over the previous year is accounted for by the influenza epi- demio which swept over the province last fall leaving many children orph- ans or with only one parent. In many instances near relatives were easily persuaded to take care of the children who were left alone. Other children were placed in foster homes. During the year 182 were adopted and 267 placed in private homes un- der temporary agreements. That boys are worse than girls is indicated in that portion of the re- port which deals with delinquency among children. Of the delinquency cases handled, more than 90 per cent were boy cases. About half the lads were charged with theft or damage to property. Only ten were sent to the industrial school at Portage La Prairie, the rest being disciplined by their parents or under the supervi- sion of probation officers. A solution of the boy problem, the report says, is the establishment of a combination farm and college. WORK ON NEW DAKOTA’ TRAILS Rapid City, S. D., July 10.—Accord- ing to J. K. Hull of this city, presi- dent of the Chicago, Black Hills and Yellowstone Park Trail association, construction crews have been put to work on that highway in Brookings, Kingsbury, Beadle and Hand coun- ties in South Dakota. The crews will be moved to other counties along the Black and Yellow Trail as fast as work is completed. Word from Buffalo, Wyoming, indi- cates that scores of automobiles are daily making the trip to Yellowstone Park over this trail. Fargo, N. D.. July 10—The 1919 football .schedule for the North Da+ kota Agricultural college has been completed. The playing season will open Octover 11 with Jamestown col- lege, at Jamestown, and will close with the University of Detroit, at Detroit, Mich. The dates as announced are: October 11—Jamestown college at Jamestown; October 18—St, Thomas college, St. Paul, at Fargo. October 25—South Dakota State college, at Fargo; November 1—University of North Dakota at Grand Forks; Nov- ember 8—Fargo College at Fargo and November 15—University of Detroit at Detroit, Mich. NEW DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION Milwaukee, Wis., July 10.—“The Organization of Higher Education for Service of the New Democracy” was the theme of an address delivered before the National Educational as- sociation. in annual conventions here ‘by Dr. Edward F. Elliott, chancellor of the University of Montana. Dr. Elliott emphasized the import- ance of sound economic education and urged the establishment of econ- omic research stations for the scien- tific examination of social and politi- Siu: Fatal Fat Unhealthy Fatness Shortens Life.

In no stage of a system of education ‘Yat gins to fit a people for a de- mocracy, may this problem be ne- glected. A siruggle for peace ‘began with the signing of the armistice at Versailles. Mankind is now to be tried in the fires of the new world, idealism arising from the great war. The stamping out of ravaging radi- calism, which is a tragic by-product of economic illiteracy, is the common test of civilization. The real contest during the next decade will be —be- tween the conservatives, who want the world put back where it was be- fore the war, and the conservation- ists, who desire that the world be put forward where it shouldbe be- cause of the war. Neither capital nor labor can hold aloof from the rightful education of both workers and leaders in the now vital econ- omic issues. “The extraordinary development of American agriculture,” said Dr. El- liott, “has been due in the largest measure to the educational services of the agricultural experiment sta- tions. If our industries and our com- merce are to be developed to the point of enabling us to maintain our position in the field: of world compe- tition, and at the same time permit a constantly better standard. of living for all our workers, we. must. see to it that economic policies are based upon carefully tested facts, that. ap- ply to the world as it is, and upon principles that are the products, not of partisan expediency, but of patient and sound research.” + THE OLDEST FAIR SECRETARY The season for State and County Fairs is again upon us and the prom. ise for great increase in attendance and interest in exhibits is better than in any former years. The secretaries of these. Fair Asso- ciations are the busiest men in the world at these times. Their activities are. greater than the secretaries of Chambers of Commerce and those boys are busy ones, too, you know. Some investigating writers. have been looking up the personal histories and points of service of some of the “old line” secretaries and the result has been to. bring out the fact that these men show more zeal and untir- ing service to publicity and promotion than most any other class of men in the commercial business. The honor for the longest period of faithful service and buckling up to the harness seems to rest with the secretary of the Shelby County Fair at Harlan, Iowa. He is Mr. H. Pickard, and he ‘has been_ secretary there for 50 years. Their Fair is this year celebrating its Golden or 50th Anniversary and in all that time Mr. Pickard has been the acting secretary. He also has an added honor this year by being able to celebrate his Golden Wedding Anniversary, having been married for 50 years—years full of health and happiness, and to him the Shelby County Fair is almost a part of his life. Other secretaries are congratulating this Fair on the good man they have at the helm, and also on the bounteous joys of life that Mr. and Mrs. Pickard are celebrating this’ year.
