(Established 187; ETROIT, HOW DO ‘THEY DO Ir? Living microbes have been found in France be- ween the pages of a”book five centuries dld. Sci- cntists, who examined them, insist they are at least 5,500 years old, ‘probably the oldest living things in the world, excepting alone the redwood | which is ‘plain muskrat. after all, trees of Cafitornia. Now that they have found microbes of an age | which makes Uncle John Shell seem a mere boy by comparison, let us suggest to our learned sci- | entist-discoverers that they hunt for the rules and regulatigns of these microbie lives that we ay “take'd tip” from them. For wouldn’t it be fine if the human race could point with pride to| men who had weathered five centuries of life? If microbes can do it why can’t we? 5 Darius, Green’ once asked a somewhat similar question, and the answer was the airplane. APARTMENT HOUSES We read with a great deal of interest the story of the New York apartment house, which, aceord- ing to its builders, isto be the “last word in apart- ment. house. construction.” It will house two} scores of families. Some of the suites will have @ &S8 many as twenty rooms and seventeen bath- 3 S: vagari of. fortune. rooms. There will be individual kitchens and aj community kitchen. modern conveniences and up-to-the-second trim- mings. Also, there will be a large price to: pay. For this ‘is to be ar exclusive millionaires’ home community It_makessus very proud of human’ aceomplish- nients, this building of such a wonderful structure, doesn’t it? Man surely is entitled to pat himself on the back and point with pride!, That, no-doubt, is what the old Aztec architects and building contractors did centuries ago. Ttey, too, had their “last word” in apartment house con- | struction. Earl H. Morris has reported to the Museum of Natural History the discovery of a community hoyse 07 400 reoms in the Aztec district of Ne Mexi¢éo, which has been buried deep by centuries ; This building was to those an-| of sandstorms. cient dwellers on earth all that the New York home of millionaires will be to the 1920 sightseer. Con- sidering the tools. stone and wood of those pre-| historic workdays, it is only fair to insist that greater credit belongs to the Aztecs than to our 1919 vuilders, “WHITE COLLAR MEN” If organized capital and organized labor thave shifted to your shoulders much of the burden of f| the war, and the load is crushing and the future is black,’there‘is one thing to remember—your in- dividual life is only a link in the long chain of life that began thousands and thousands of years; ago and may go on indefinitely into the future. How often in those long years have your:an- cestors fought, their way desperately for mere existence when skies were blacker far than any that you have seen. Monstrous beasts, long since| extinct, flood, pestilence and famine pursued them. They lived in trees and caves if they could find them, they fought bare-handed, they endured heat and-cold with little to protect them. No place of shelter was entirely safe. rors of reality they had to contend with all the creaturés of their own untaught imaginations—| ~ ghosts and evil spirits and bloodthirsty gods. Yet they fought on, and their women bore them! , children and managed somehow to save them from extinction until these also could shift for them- selyes and pass on the torch of life—to you. If any single one in the long line had*recoiled from ‘life or cared-too much fo.t comfort and mere ap-} pearance, you never would have existed. Plenty of others were lost through the lure of false ideals and mere appearances; but your par- ticular ancestors never failed to pursue the path ‘that was.to keep life going and bring-you into| being. And they gave you more than life. They gave you brains; for if army tests prove anything you got rather more than the average of your fellow- countrymen. It was brains that made you able to fill your plaee“as minister, teacher, accountant, or wit ver it may be, at the time when such places *thought desirable; and now when things hanged and’ you seem caught betiveen the upper and the nether millstone, it will help you to remember that: the brains are- still yours andjmen in the treasurer’s office between two and three ‘the long run, in apite of the FUNCTION-OF-4-BRAIN I$ TO EN- ADARW HIMAELE.-39-4.- NEW Kresge Bldg | *|than raiment?” There will be all sorts of}: And besides the ter-| often called upon to meet, of the horrors overseas ‘and of what some of your fellow citizens are meet- ing now, the situation that confronts you is not so very serious after all, and it will not last so ‘very long, for it is easy to take off a white collar lif you are not too old, and your children need not; wear one att all. > | ' And you can lighten the present burden, if you} {will, by forgetting your neighbors’ eyes and teach- ling your children to do the same. President Me- Kinley once said: “A cheap coat means a cheap man under the coat’; but if that was ever true, it is no longer. In the present crisis the cheap coat ought to mean—and it often does mean—a man under the coat with brains enough to adapt him- Ov | selfto conditions and with the courage to live jioyously in spite of temporary inconveniences and to pass on his splendid heritage into, the far-dis- jtant future. | “If not the life more than meat, and the body HIS FINISH Johnny Musquash sees his finish. Demand for his pelt and its transformation into “Hudson seal,” has fixed his fate. Not long and the little fellow will have gone the ‘way of the buffalé, the great auk, the dodo and the passenger pigeon. With a habitat that ranged the width of the continent, from ‘the gulf to the arctic barren yrounds, the muskrat flourished and carried out ' is scheme of life, until the trapper came in.

The conviction of Berger, dat-| jing from last January, of viclation of the espion- age act, stands.’ If Berger was unfit to be a mem-! ber of congress before Thursday’s election he is still unfit. He will again be rejected, and since the governor of Wisconsin has said he will call no more special elections the Milwaukee district will have to remain unrepresented at Washington un- til it sends an American to the house of represen- tatives. at This is the situation, and socialist rhetoric will not change it. The re-election of Berger proves nothing new and effers no reason why the house of representatives should alter its position — Mandan News (Nonpartisan). st , HOW IT WORKS The 25 per cent reduction of a portion of the} state taxes by the special session of the legisla- ture is causing considerable extra work-in the ‘county treasurer’s office. County Treasurer E, L. iShane says “it is like taking money out of ‘one! pocket and putting it in the other one.” His office! had been working for some time and had the 1919 taxes’ computed and Feady for the taxpayers to} pay them when due. The recent legislative act necessitates the going over the record of each picce ‘of ‘real estate town lots and all the personal property tax\and figure off .5675 mill reduction from the state levy. This is no small task and cbming at a time whey, the office is rushed with other work, requires an additional force of two months to complete the work. The wages of these men will fully take up the reduction. The county pays for the extra help and the tax- [Payers foot the bill. ais Pati NE, Ree SITUATION, AND THAT 1S THE TASK “BE FORE YOU NOW. | Seen in the light of what youn ancestors were coh eae the past yeare. cloud hung’ dver the’ identity of finder of the gem-that put Kimb and South Af on the map and in- augur ated anim “Bushman boy” .w: marbles diamond of 211-4 karats that brought $2,500 Worth many times that sum. against him before, opposed him.
