A friend happened along and laughingly asked her if she was going to play this fall. “No,” she replied, “but my eldest son is and I want to know something about the game so I can talk to him intelligently and understand the plays, etc.” Wise mother. She knew that a proper interest in her boy’s game would retain his confidence and respect. Men and women are only boys and girls en- larged. They, too, like to have folks, especially relations, interested in the things they do. If you have a friend or relative you are espe- cially fond of, learn something of the game of life in which he is most vitally concerned. You'll never have to worry about his loyalty if you do. EVERYDAY VACATIONS Now, at high-tide of the year, the worker hur- ries away from desk or bench or counter for a week or a month and hurries back with a coat of sunburn and some new fish stories or golf scores.. He needed that vacation. In a month or so, he will need another, likely enough, but he won’t get it. When Mr. Average Man takes his next vaca- tion, chances are it will be in bed, with doctor tak- ing his temperature and his dollars. If Mr. Average man treated himself as well as a wise farmer treats a good horse, he would get twice as much fun out of his annual outings, and at the same time he wouldn’t be so badly in need of rest at times when Necessity stands over him with uplifted lash. Why not take a little vacation every day? Why not organize exploring expeditions in the realm of good books to rest your mind and hikes over the picturesque roads around Bismarck during leisure hours to recuperate your body? Find something to interest you out of working hours, something wholesome to fuss over and putter with. Add to the richness of the passin gdays with a fad or a hobby, especially one that takes you out of doors or broadens your outlook. THE VALUE OF LIFE The $15,000 called for to ransom the American aviators held by Mexican bandits was contributed by ranchers who did not know the captives. In the emergency, men dug down into their pockets for hard cash, eager to be of service in saving human life. All attempts to place a money-value on life have failed. Under the old Mosiac law, which is by no means dead, the person responsible for tak- ing life had to pay with his own. / The hobo places just as high a value on his own life as does a railroad president. War did not cheapen life— : Death was cheap during the welter of fighting, but life itself was never more precious than it is today on this turbulent planet. A throng of children from a poor neighbor- hood slide, swing, scramble and scream in a play- ground. You couldn’t buy the dirtiest, smallest, most unpromising youngster in the lot from its over- worked mother for a million dollars! You have sighed and moaned, as all human creatures have, “I wish I had never been born.” But you didn’t mean it! For the experience of struggling through this existence, taking pangs, pleasures, desires, dis- appointments, dreams and all, just as they come, is THE ADVENTURE! Even the finish is an exploration. You don’t have to be Pollyanna to be glad you’re alive. TO MAKE A HAPPY HOME Here are some interesting rules for making their home happy which were adopted by a young couple at the time of their marriage and which have been lived up to since that event. Perhaps other married folks will find them interesting and valuable: No. 1—COMFORT—Whatever home we have, whether it is a rented apartment, a rented house, a room in a boarding house, or our own home, is for our own comfort and happiness and not for show. Consequently we will make it comfortable and not showy. If any of our family finds happi- to-have his wish even if it spoils the appearance of the furniture, No. 2—WE’LL HAVE NO QUARRELING IN OUR HOME—Home is the place for happiness and we will not desecrate the shrine of happiness by quarreling in it. Harsh, hasty words are included in this. If we ever feel that we simply have to quarrel or get something out of our systems we'll go away from home out into the country to do our fighting. By the time we get to the battle ground we'll probably not want to quarrel. No. 3—OUR HOME MUST NOT BE A BUR- DEN—If we can’t afford servants we'll live in a small place where the housework will not prove too heavy. We’ll not fill the home with a lot of needless junk which is good for nothing but orna- ment and which entails a lot of care. We'll secure all the labor saving devices designed to make housework easier, that we can. No. 4—FRIENDS MUST FEEL AT HOME IN OUR HOME—We realize that friends are a dis- tinct asset in life. We want friends and we want friends who will feel at home in our home. Con- sequently we'll not assume a touch-me-not attitude toward them when they come to our home and make themselves at home with our things. We'll make our home a gathering place for all the nice, cheery, likable people we want for friends, No. 5—OUR HOME MUST BE CHEERY—So that it will help us to be cheery and happy our home must be cheery and happy in appearance. We must see to it that we have plenty of light at night, cheery wall paper, happy pictures, All our furnishings must be as cheery as we can get with- out being frivolous or looking merely cheap. No. 6—WE’LL CHERISH OUR HOME—We'll let nothing make our home unhappy. A happy, cheerful home is what we want, what we can have and what we’re going to keep no matter what blows or misfortunes fate may have in store for us. And, with happiness in our home, we feel that life will always meet us with a smile. TIME SOFTENS MANY A CRIME The attorney general of France has recom- mended that Joseph Caillaux, erstwhile premier of the Republic, be brought to trial. This is surpris- ing, if not disturbing. We have not heard much of Caillaux for a year or more. Wasn’t enough ac- complished when Duval and Bolo Pasha were lined up against a wall and shot? Surely when the tools of a traitor are punished the ends of justice would seem to be served. The usual procedure is to for- get if not forgive the chief. Caillaux apparently did not do anything except endeavor to bring defeat to France. He probably thought anything inflicted upon his country after the treatment it had accorded him was justified. If a man who has a grievance is not to have his re- venge what is the world coming to in the end? Despite the recommendation of the attorney general it is doubtful that Caillaux is brought to trial or if arraigned is prosecuted vigorously. Paris was a hot bed of treason for the first two years of the war. Too many men now held in high respect were willing to come to terms with the Germans to let all the facts be made known at this late day. Clemenceau knows. But for him the war might have terminated differently. Powerful as he is it is doubtful if he has the strength to bare the whole infamy today. There are influences that will aid Caillaux not for love of Caillaux but for their-own protection. Therein lies the secret of the long delay in prosecuting the former pre- mier. Time softens many crimes even that of treason. The chief complaint of Wilson’s enemies is not that he failed in a few things, but that he failed in so few. How can we hope to discourage the taking of excessive profits until the courts define the word “excessive”? One never knows whether Labor or Capital will win in an industrial battle, but he knows that the consumer will lose. Doubtless it has occured to you that the man who owns and operates a farm can sit at home and watch the crazy world go by. The monkeys swing in the trees and scold while the lion makes his lordly way through the jungle, and this helps us to understand critics. We threatened Mexico with a radical change in our policy. If she has been keeping up with “radi- cal” moves, the threat should be effective. Considering how each played its cards in the war, it is easy to guess which will get the greater profit in an alliance between Germany and Japan. The Mexican government declares that it has pursued those guilty of offenses against Amerie cans. Huh. We did that well in dealing with Villa. The food contro] act provides ample penalties for hoarding. What is the difference between pri- vate hoarding and hoarding in great cold storage plants? Our own profiteers are well described by Mex- ico’s note concerning folks who get into trouble ness in having a certain chair placed where he can Ta, Gjaitime, he down there, “through ignorance, the lack of pru- of the room and dislocates the orderly placement | ‘ Se . DONT WEAKEN, ot BIRD! GOT ’IM! — WHAT THE BIBLE DOES FOR US oe 2—. SATERFIE/D = BY THE REV. CHARLES’ STELZLE. The Bible is a many-sided book, not only in its character, but-in its influence. Here are:some of:the things it does: PRODUCES CONVICTION OF SIN. It does this by revealing our true natures, It is like a looking glass, If you want to know what your heart is like, read thé Bil You'll recognize yourself in its wonderful * characterizations. It won't always be flattering to you, but it. will always be truthful. IT HAS’ POWER TO SAVE THE SOUL. “Receive with meekness the engrafted’ word, which is able to save your soul,” exhorted James in his epistle. The holy Scripture is “able to make thee wise unto salvation,” wrote Paul’to Timothy. It isn’t merely reading the Bible that saves-a.man —it’s doing what'it commands. » If PRODUCES FAITH. It isn’t easy to have “faith.” The natural thing is to doubt. That's why even a little faith carries us so far along. To tell a man to “believe” may sometimes be like telling him to fly. He can’t do it without some help from outside himself. * < “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,” We redd in Romans. And in closing his gospel, John said that it was TO WITNESS THE “ EMPERVIRENS TOWERING 300 FEET UL OF SEQUOIA” written that men might believe, and that, believing, they might have life. If you want to increase your faith study the Bible. IT PROMOTES GROWTH. You cannot live, physically unless you eat food, no more can you grow spiritually, unless you feed upon the word of God. There’s great variety in its nutritive qualities. At every stage of growth, from the time of birth to the maturity of the full-grown man, it furnishes just the right kind of food. The Bible has been compared to milk, bread, strong meat and honey. If FURNISHES WISDOM “The entrance of thy worq giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple,” said the psalmist. The man who studies the Bible as much as he might sfudv all other books, would have*more real wisdom than if he studied all other books and left out the Bible. IT PROTECTS US AGAINST SIN. “Thy word have I- hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee,” wrote David. If he had merely stored it in his “mind” he might Haye forgotten it. But he made it part of his innermost life—he stored it away in his heart. Some of us store it away on a dusty shelf. the drama.. A. M. Weaver, assistant state warden of the park, has trained these timid animals. For more than two years, Warden Weaver has each morning and evening called to the California Redwood Park, Cal., Aug. 27—In the forest primeval, beneath sempervirens towering three hundred feet and which were: ancient forest monarchs even at thé time of 'Noah’s Ark is recorded to have rested on ‘Mount Ararat, 2348 B.

Unique features in a setting of grandeurs surround this effort of a EVERETT TR 4 California composer, Thomas’Vincent Cator of San Jose, and a California author, Don ™ Kichards, to-produce a history to the giant redwood ‘trees in song and drama. Their efforts are supported by the Sempervirens club of California which is. financing, the production solely in the interests of the California Redwood Park, a state park, with free camp sites, water, fireplaces, limbwood for Californians and visitors, In the heart of the great Big Basin, theatre. is an inner amohitheatre in which the production will be staged.

D., Where He Was Once Mayor Olaf Andrew Olson, who died Mon- day at a local hospital, was buried at his former home, Herreid, 'S. D., yes- terday. His widow, Mrs. Olsen, ac- companied the ‘body.
