There is no such Land of Opportunity any- where in the world as there is under the Stars and Stripes. If you’ve been thinking of buying a one-way ticket to some place in Europe where you hope to find a paradise with gates ajar, either put the money back in the bank or add enough to it to get a return trip, for you’ll want it. Europe is full of glory and short of everything else. Take just this one basic fact: Europe has got to convert her factories to a peace-time basis—and then she has got to get complete supplies of raw materials with which to run those factories. America has got to convert her factories—and the whole land reeks with raw materials. And this: Europe went through four years of war. Everything she had was turned to war usage. Every last inch of ground and foot of factory space over there was under war strain. There was no such complete transformation here, and there is not the necessity now for wait- ing while the whole land is turned back to normal life, One of America’s big manufacturers estimated four months as the outside time it would take to put his plant back into its normal production of peacetime goods. That is probably the average. Europe can’t come back in five years! Production is the rock bottom of everything. America leads the world by a mile in readiness to produce. Remember this: One-sixth of the area ot France is absolutely out of business. The land ii- self is so torn up that it can’t be used. This was the richest agricultural and manufacturing section of France. The Germans destroyed it completely. Let that fact make its full impression. Put. out of business the one-sixth of America that lies from New York to Pittsburg. Would it make a difference to America? The strictly material side of things is all in favor of America. The machinery of America is intact—in running order. i The machinery of Europe is not in running order, And before it can be got in running order a lot of it will have to be bought from America where it will be made by American workmen. America was the magic land out of which came that endless stream of brown-clad soldiers and blue-clad sailors who didn’t know how to do anything except keep going toward Berlin. Again the brown and blue of America must provide for Europe’s salvation—the brown and blue overalls and jumpers that man America’s farms and factories. For America this spells OPPORTUNITY—just like that, in capitals. . Given its short space of time for rearrange- ment and American industry is bound to hum as it never hummed before. The empty hands and the hungry mouths of the world stand in wait for the things that America alone can grow and make and ship. Don’t buy a one-way ticket to Europe. ~ FIRST INSTEAD OF LAST A western state, that has more than a million population, recently jubilated over the fact that during the year its savings accounts had increased ten million dollars, Which meant that during a year of prosperity, during a time when the worker received more than double his usual wage, the average family had in- creased its savings account about seventy dollars. But, during the same time the average family spent ten dollars for three tires and gasoline and repairs for every one it put in a savings account. This is no criticism of the sensible spirit of the American worker that believes in enjoying life, and giving his family some of the luxuries. But we submit that the savings account, the fund for old age, for emergencies, for sickness, for the education of the children, should be of first consequence instead of last. Lean men live longer than fat men, but fat men have a broader experience. “Open covenants of peace” may promote broth- erly love. They certainly promote rag-chewing. The kaiser shouldn’t worry about being tried now. He should worry about being fried here- | WITH THE EDITORS | NORTH DAKOTA’S CHOICE Enough adherents of the Nonpartisan league in North Dakota have lived up to their slogan, “We'll stick,” to extend the lease of political power which A. C. Townley has held for two years. It is in the spirit of a well-wishing neighbor that we voice the hope that the people of the state as a whole will not some day find themselves in a plight that will lead them to say in concert “We're stuck.” By majorities that show a marked falling off in the league’s strength in two years compared with that of the opposition, due largely to the atti- | tude of returned soldiers, the voters at a referen- dum election have placed the final stamp of their approval on the league program formulated by the recent legislature in the shape of laws that open the gates for extensive socialistic experiment in the administration of state affairs. As a sequel of the election North Dakota. will go into business in ways heretofore left in the United States to pri- vate interests. How deep the plunge will be re- mains to be seen, but it will be deep enough to en- gage the scrutinizing attention of the people of other states. The practical working out of state socialism will be watched with an interest that is accompanied in many quarters of North Dakota with grave concern. The people of the state have made their free choice of standards after an intensive campaign by both adherents and opponents of the program. Hitherto it has been popularly called a Townley- Mills-Lemke socialistic scheme. Now it must be referred to as an officially indorsed state program. Whether the results prove to be for good or ill, the electorate will have itself to account to, itself to pat on the back or to chide. North Dakota is overwhelmingly an agricul- tural state. In the proportion of its agrarian in- terests it stands almost, if not quite, alone among the states. The Nonpartisan league movement is nominally a farmers’ movement, engineered by men who are not farmers. There is a very wide- spread opinion that it is predicated on theories that will not work out well in practice. There also is a widespread belief that its leadership is not what it purports to be in solicitude for the welfare of tillers of the soil. The people of the state who put these leaders in power have decided in a referendum vote to give their theories and policies a fair trial. For the results, whether good. or bad, they may claim the credit for themselves or must shoulder the blame, as the test may determine.—Minneapolis Tribune. “ONE BIG UNION” _ An Emporia man sold a carload of cattle on a falling market and put his profits, which were smaller than he expected, into the bank. The bank the next day finding that many cattlemen and merchants and others had been depositing money bought some notes of a Kansas City bank. The notes were those of a well-known packing firm— one of the big five. The money of the man who felt that his profits were cut down arbitrarily by the big five, went into the transaction at the bank, and he is practically lending his money to the man who robbed him. Again: The Emporia man has the eating habit. It is more or less hereditary ; his father and moth- er ate before him, and he has to have food. But he finds food prices boosted out of all reason. He finds the same packers who set the price of vir- tually everything in the grocery store. He finds them charging robber profits on fruits, buying the whole pack of a region—as for instance, the Ha- waiian pineapple crop, and doing business under aliases and criminals. He finds these same pack- ers, who gouge him on the price of his steers, gouging him on the price of meat, of canned goods, of fresh fruits, of every mortal thing from tooth- brushes to embalming fluid. They are gradually getting a big monopoly upon everything that the American farmer sells, and that the American citizens eat. They are allied with the millers, with the railroads, with the bankers. The millers and bankers are not to blame; they have to live. And they and the packers form “one big union’—a union of capital. And it’s dead right. There should be one big union of capital. But the “one big union” should be licensed and regulated. Food is a public utility. Money has been recognized for a century as a public utility and interest charges legalized, and limited. The man who buys and sells food is buying and selling human life. He should operate under a license as bankers do and as railroads must, and as doc- tors and lawyers do and editors also should. But the “one big union” of the food dealers which is economically right, because it does save many middle men, should be controlled by govern- ment. Also there is no use bucking against the “one big union” of labor. But it also should be regulated and controlled, and made to serve public ends. No class—not even the rich—should run this country for its own ends. There will be eventually in this country—at least by the end of the century, three of these “one big union” combinations: One of labor, one of capital, and one of the public, which is a little of both. And the greatest of these will be the American government. It is to be boss on this continent. Play that on your. pianola!—William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette.

Gilman of the Gilman Motor Bismarck distributors of the received ‘an sunteresting \d- Dodge cars, letter written that company by a ier in Germany. The letter follows: “While reading some New York pa- pers recently I noticed that while other ears were praised highly (in their ad- vertisements) for the good work done in overseas service, nothing was said of the Dodge car. “I have been over here on active EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO '|LOTS service fora year and have been driv- ing a Dodge sedan for the last eight months, This little car has made 27,000 miles and has never been laid up for motor, transmission or any oth- er car trouble. Its work during this time cannot be prasied too highly. In all the big battles of the third division, namely, Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel and Argonne, the litle Dodge has never once failed to respond. In the last American campaign I have driven it up hills and through roads where other cars of higher price were forced to detour. I have been through roads with mud right to the hub caps and places where only tanks and artillery tractors could make their way. “I am sure if decorations were given to motor vehicles on their good work performed: in war service, the Dodges that are on duty with the A. EB, F. would. receive the lion’s share, Al- though her beauties were marred many times by shrapnel holes, she is still on the job with the Army on the Rhine. Have used only two sets of tires in all the 27,000 miles and the roads of north- ern France are very dierent from Riv- erside Drive. As for oil, I have used from the thinnest grade to the heaviest transmision oil and have ueyer been troubled with loose bearings. \I am sure that is a wonderful record for a ear that is so low in price. “Hoping this letter gives the Dodge manufacturers a little satisfaction for the valuable work of their car in the A. E. F., I am, respectfully, PVT, FRED W. DONLON, Hadprs. 4th U. 8. Inf.,, 8rd Divisio.” FARMERS: GETTING OF USE OUT OF MOTOR ‘TRUCKS Selling motor trucks to the farm- ers is fraught with~all. the obstacles that always have beén if the path of introducing new... machinery to the farmer,” said S.°W. Corwin, of the Corwin Motor Co., local dealers for GMC trucks. “I believ in giving the farmer every assistance possible in selecting the right motor truck for his work and in showing ‘him that a motor truck is not only valuable as a rapid connecting link between his fields and the mark- et for his produce but it also is a valuable piece of machinery for work around the farm. “Every day we hear of splendid il- lustrations, A farmer hauled his crop of grain from field to warehouse, a distance of 8 miles, in about 3 hours for the round trip. “The farmer estimated that 18 horses would have been needed to do this work in the same time as well as the service of three men. The gas- aline cost was about ‘half of the amount estimated for shoeing 18 head of horses, Tribune Want Ads Bring Results. BELCHING Caused by Acid-Stomach Let EATONIC, the wonderful modern stom- ach remedy, give you quick reliet from dis- gusting belching, food-repeating, -ndigestion, bloated, gassy stomach, dyspepsia, heart- burn and otheretomach miseries. They are all caused by AcidStom: from which about nine people out of ten suffer in one way or another. One writes as follows: “Before I used EATONIC, I could not eat a bite with- out belching it right up, sour and bitter. I have not had a bit of tronble since the first tablet.” : Millions are victims of Acid-Stomach with- out knowing it. They are weak and ailing, have poor digestion, bodies improperly nour- ished although they may eat heartily. Grave disorders are likely to follow if an acid- stomach is neglected. Cirrhosis of the liver, intestinal congestion, gastritis, catarrh of the stomach—these are only a few of the many ailments often caused by Acid-Stomach. A sufferer from Catarrh of the Stomach of 11 years’ standing writes: “I had catarrh of the stomach for 11 long years and 1 never found anything to do me any good — just temporary relief—until I used EATONIC. It is a wonderful remedy and I do not want to be without it,” ‘ If you are not feeling quite right — lack energy and enthusiasm and don’t know just where to locate the trouble—try EATONIO and see how much better you will feel in every way At all drug stores—a big box for 50c and your money back if you are not satisfied. EATONIC (HOR YOUR ACID-STOMACH) GARDNER SAYS EFFORTS FAILED ‘Minneapolis Man Was Unable To Get Relief From Trouble Until He Took Tanlac, “My efforts to find a medicine or treatment that would overcome my troubles, failed completely until I commenced taking Tanlac,” said Earl O. Freeby, a well known gardner who lives at 705, eKnwood aPrkway, Min- neapolis, while talking to a Tanlac representative the other day. “T had yw bad attack of pneumonia about eighteen months ago,” contin- ued Mr. Freeby, “and up to the time I commenced taking -Tanlac I had been having a pretty tough time of it ever since. For about three months after getting up from this spell I was not adle to do any work at all. I finally improved to the extent that I was able to do a little work and then the ‘Flu’ ‘hit me, and this just about put the finishing touch to me, Well, I managed to pull through this trouble and after being in bed for several weeks I was able to be up again, but my entire system was left in a terrible weak rundown condition. I didn’t have any appetite to speak of and what little I did eat didn’t seem to give me any strength or energy to get about very much, and the differ- ent medicines I took didn’t seem to do me any good at all. f “T had been reading so much about Tanlac, and what it had done for so many other people, so I decided to give it a trial myself. I didn’t think it was possible for anybody to im- prove as fast as I did after I be- gan taking Tanlac. Why, my troubles have been completely overcome, and I am so well and strong now that I not only put in full time at my work every day, bupt I work in my garden at home until dark every night. I have such a big appetite that three hearty meals a day doesn’t satisfy me, and I have to eat a little between meals. In fact, I just feel fine all the time and never enjoyed better gener- al health in my- life. I have induced a good many people to take Tanlac, and every one of them have been greatly benefitted ‘by it, and I certain- ly take pleasure in recommending it to anybody who is in a rundown con- dition from any cause.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow in Driscoll by N. D. and J. Barrette and in Wing by F. P. H man. Advt.
