Which is to say, that one reason prices are so high is because the buying public persist in paying the price without complaint. And in buying things it doesn’t need. And at exorbitant prices. The cheaper cuts of meat do not move any faster, when the better cuts double in price. Shop girls are shod in the latest style in shoes, whether they cost five dollars or fifteen the pair. The traveling public demands the best the fin- est hotels have to offer, whether the price be three dollars a day or thirty. ii The cafes and cabarets and grills and similar resorts are as thronged as ever, and the cheaper restaurants, where the serving of food is the main business do not gain in popularity. Nobody, that is “anybody” quits joy riding when tires are boosted fifty per cent. Whether gasoline be fifteen cents or fifty a gallon the country roads are as crowded on Sun- day. The only institution not patronized in a period of inflated prices is the savings bank. No other nation does this. No other nation can afford to do it. It is to be doubted if even this nation can af- ford to do it. MONEY. IS A HANDY THING, AFTER ALL Two classes of advisors have sung the praises of poverty so long that it has become almost fash- ionable to decry the dollar. |... Almost, but, notuquite, with, pork. chops at 50 cents‘a pound. 2 One set of preachers of the philosophy of pov- erty have been poets, who were unmarried, and who were young, and who lived on their friends and admirers. The other was the plute, who had his millions, and having made a hog of himself for his dollars’ sake, felt a spiritual tummy ache and lauded the delights of a possessionless state. Though the plute usually managed to die with enough to give himself a fair funeral, and to leave enough to gladden the hearts of his lucky heirs. But for the average run of us a dollar is a handy little thing to have. Dollars educate our children, or at least give them the opportunity. They relieve the wife from the drudgery of heavy housework, They give us vacations from the deadening routine; and they enable us to mingle with our sociable fellows and enjoy a bit of life. Dollars, in use for human happiness, are fine things. Dollars heaped up in piles are likely to topple over and crush all the joy out of their heaper. But the American public, en masse, is not much of a piler-up of sordid gain. The average American worker’s family believes in living as it goes along, and though it may not own its home it probably has a flivver; it may not carry as much of a marriage dot for the eldest daughter as a French peasant would consider proper ; but it has a fine phonograph, and a list of jazz records that turn blue Mondays into festivals. No sir, the good old dollar is not. be sneezed at; he’s only worth about forty cents today, but he is a mighty fine little pal at that. BANKS There is more public good will towards the bank as an institution than ever before. The reason is that the bank has more good will towards the public than ever before. More people are using the service of banks. People are seeing their relation to the bank, and, best of all, the banks are seeing their relation to people. Through better banking laws and better order and system there have been but few bank failures within the past five years. Go into even the small rural town and about the best systematized and best appearing business institution is the bank. The bank and the postoffice in a small town are about the only institutions where all the pa- trons do not run behind the counters and where there is no loafing. Yes, and courtesy of bank officials and em- splendid social service in teaching more of us to save. Pick up the average weekly paper of even the remote rural community and we will find one or more well written and well reasoned advertise- ment by the bank and for the starting of savings accounts. The banks have and are performing an im- mense educational service in this country and by evolution: first, they induced us to take our sur- plus funds out of stoves, tin cans and stockings and put them in the bank; then they induced us to save more,and now they are teaching us how to produce more. Even comparatively small banking institutions are issuing well prepared literature on household economy, gardening, chicken raising, bee culture and the like. , Other banking institutions are appealing to the young, the coming generation, for increased pro- duction and by organizing boys and girls into corn clubs, garden clubs and even pig clubs. Throughout the country a few months ago there was exhibited a moving picture of a troop of boys running out of the elegant banking building of a southern town, and each with a squeeling pig under his arm. A bank in Cleveland has recently been conduct- ing industrial exhibits in a small space along the sidewalk and in front of their building. These in- clude tractors, wire weaving machines, electric welders, gear cutting and screw machines and all in full operation. This is not only generally educational, but it shows the relation of the bank to industry. Many of the larger New York banks are cir- culating to manufacturers over the country litera- ture on foreign trade. : All of this is prepared by specialists after first hand research and is of the utmost value to our future commerce. ; Any effort that will increase our thrift and pro- duction is a service to humanity, and service to humanity is good business. If the liquor interests are really urging the immediate ratification of the treaty, it merely goes to prove that a man never becomes depraved enough to lose his common sense. NON-RESISTANCE Courtesy is akin to ‘genius, att This morning coming dowh on the car, the con- ductor, a healthy young hulk of a fellow, approach- ed a certain passenger for his fare. The passenger flew into.a rage, and in a voice that could be heard all‘over the car, protested that he had paid when he got on, and continued by ask- ing the conductor if he looked like a man that would beat the company out of.so small an amount. “No, you do not,” replied the conductor with a smile and in a low voice, but which rang true-with honesty and perfect good feeling, “and,” he cén- tinued, “I beg your pardon!” The car had been in a blockade, many of the passengers were looking at their watches and pro- testing to their fellows that they would be late to work. fe But the incident of the supposed defaulting patron and the contrasting way in which the con- ductor met the attack, drew their. attention from the matter of their own protests. The comments upon the conductor were many and favorable and some even began jesting the wrathful one, which made him all the more wrath- ful, and all save he finally arrived at their des- tination in a state of good humor, * * * This conductor who kept his temper and his voice in the face of such opposition is a very able representative in the interest of the stockholders of his company. He not only disarmed: the angry one, but he turned the complaints of the other Passengers into favorable comment. This man is capable of managing many cars rather than just one car. He has the prime element to control a whole car company, and which is self-control. We will miss our guess if this young hulk of a conductor does not finally become a Manager of men rather than remaining just one of many men and to be managed. And as to the passenger who became angry— well, he looked like a man of some affairs, and he no doubt arrived at his office in such a state of mind as to unfit him for his work for several hours. He may have remained in that state long enough to prevent his lunch from digesting and to a point of actual illness during the afternoon. Through his mental and physical unfitness he may have suffered the loss of money or the oppor- tunity for profit during the day. It would have been far more profitable for this passenger to have handed the conductor an- other fare with a smile and made the good natured, low voiced comment that the amount was too small to quarrel about. * x * It occurs to us that this might-be a practical demonstration of the doctrine of non-resistance. That at least there are times when it does not pay to be resistant, and never to the point of in- POPULAR BISMARCK RETURNS FROM OVERSEAS WORK PHYSICIAN “The grit of the wounded American soldier was the most inspiring exper- ience- medical officers-in the Ameri- can expeditionary force have ever, or will ever enjoy,” said Capt. J. O. Arn- son, just returned to Bismarck after. many months in the ‘service, both ai home and ‘abroad.

Bismarck were in- cluded in the unit: Upon its arrival at Camp Jackson, Section No. 1 became @ part of Base Hospital No. 60 there and thus officially. passed out of ex- istence. ‘Shortly after his arrival in South Carolina, Captain” Arnson was made| adjutant of the base hospital which! position: he- held. up to the time of] its departure for France in August. Captain Arnson landed in Brest on September 3, having sailed from this country via Newport News. While No. 60 was at Brest, that camp: was prob- ably in its worst: condition, and it is generally conceded’ now that those conditions were just ms bad as had been reported. it i; said. ‘Daily Aerial Bombardments. Captain Arnson, together with Base Hospital ‘No. 60 was, sent to the de- partment of the Vosges and was lo- cated near the city of ‘Neuf Chateau, 30 miles from St.’Mihieland 50 miles from Verdun. Our city was under bombardment from German aviators, but our hospitals were never struck,” said Captain Arnson today in relating his experiences overseas. ‘The havoc caused by these«derlal’raides, contin- ued as they. were almost daily, soon demolished almost. every house and building in the eity, or ruinel them quite badly.-The hospitals alone were left unscathed.” Captain Arnson stated that at Neuf Chateau, No. 60 received many wound- ed from the St, Mihiel drive.

At this:time, the front lines were not.very distant, but as the figthing progressed, the lines moved continu- ally nearer to German soil unti!, when the: armistice was: isigned, * Captain Arnson’ was left ‘a considerable’ dist- ance behind the front lines, After the armistice, Captain Arnson returned to Fase Hospital No. 60: and that organization left’ Neuf Chateau on May. 16 and landed at,Newport ‘News on, June © 27.

Colonel Quain Returns Soon Lt. Colonel Quain is expected to re- turn to Bismarck early next wek. He was chief of the surgical service at Fort Snelling for some time following his return from France.

MARKS LEAVES CITY PERMANENTLY TO LIVE AT FARGO City’ Will Suffer LossWhen Booster of All Things Patriotic Moves B.C. Marks, for the past two years Probably the most indefatigable war worker in Bismarck and. Eurleigh county, leaves this city Saturday to take up his permanent residence in Fargo. H ris While he still retains his position as vice president of the City National bank and will make frequent’ trips to Bismarck..in. the interests of business connected. with that institution, Mr. Marks will devote practically his en- tire time to directing the affairs of the ‘North Dakota jurisdiction of the Ancient Order of United Workmen ot which he is grand master, or presi- dent. The work of the Red Cross in Bis- marck was in a large measure a suc- cess due to Mr. Marks’ continual and persistent hard work. During the per- iod of the war, the banker thas always been in the forefront of matters pa- triotic, bending his shoulder to the wheels that turned the various Lib- erty and Victory loans into super-sub- scriptions. Patriotic Activities. His cooperation. with the food ad- ministration, equalled probably the splendid efforts he made toward the success of financing this section’s share of the war finances and the var- ious drives to raise funds for the or- ganizations that aided the men in khaki’and blue. In civic and social affairs, as well, Mr. Marks has al- ways been a leader and his absence from the city will cause a vacuum that will be ‘hard to fill. At its monthly meeting, the direc- tors of the City ‘National bank unani- mously tendered a vote of thanks to Mr. Marks. for his splendid achieve- ments. during the past few years in his connections with that institution. He was unaniuously re-elected vice president for another year. J. A. Gra- ham, who has been cashier of tHat in- stitution, has. been named a vice pres- ident, and J. B. Rhud, formerly con- nected with the bank, but just recently discharged from the service, has been made cashier. C. D. Owens, former teller,, was elected assistant cashier.
