Senator Hughes: believes that by building 25 homes in a bunch he can save a lot of overhead costs, and he purposes to pass this saving on to the ultimate consumer. We have been told that an ordinary cottage can- not be built for less than $6,000. Mr. Hughes believes he can build 25 modern homes whose cost, including the lot, will not exceed $4,500 to $5,000, and he intends to offer these dwellings to homeless ones who can scrape together enough to pay for the labor . involved, extending ten years’ time on the balance at six or seven percent. The scheme appears: practicable. It will not net Mr. Hughes any great immediate profit, but, inasmuch as his investments are all in Bismarck, anything which works \for the betterment of the city and which increases the number of our citi- zens, must ultimately benefit him and his enter- prises. So, it would seem a good business prop- osition and an experiment with which other busi- “ness men who have the means might ‘well con- cern themselves. ; It’s a good thing that Armenians’ believe in God. There doesn’t seem to be much chance of help from any other source. A YOUTHFUL COUNTRY The death of Mrs. Marie Picotte Van Solen, re- corded by The Tribune yesterday, serves to re- mind us that with alt of our progress and our problems, we are a young civilization yet. When Mrs. Van Solen was born in 1839, it is doubtful if there. were 100 whites in all of the Dakotah territory west of the river. The Sioux were living the lives of pure aboriginies, almost free of any European influence. The tribesmen from whom Mrs. Van Solen’s ancestors sprang were more given to war than to husbandry, and forays at the expense of their more peaceful’ neighbors, the Mandans, Hidatsas and Arickaras, who held the land where Mandan now stands, were among their popular diversions, Mrs..Van Solen lived to see the development of river commerce on the Missouri; the establish- ment of white men’s fortifications in the domain where her people had for centuries held undis- puted sway; then the coming of the railway, and the Black Hills gold rush, and finally the last armed resistance of her race against the Euro- pean invader. \ ; For more than thirty\years, from her early young womanhood until the-close of the last cen- tnry, when her people finally bowed ‘to the inevi- table, she stood as a shield between the whites and the inhospitable red men. influence with her mother’s people was strong, 8nd it was ever exerted on the side of peace and progress. Before death claimed her she found her .ye- ward in seeing the sons of the two hostile races front which she was descended fighting shoulder. to shoulder in a common cause? she saw the de- velopment of a new generation of native Ameri- cans who had beaten their swords into plough- shares, and who by their devotion to the flag which had adopted them had won the highest privileges of citizenship in the new civilization. Few have had the privilege to live in a period so ric in romance, or to have lived so fully and 80 well. And so Germany will try her own war criminals. It one may judge from present conditions she will also take her own time about paying up. BOTULISM An odd little word, botulism, but it is freighted with tremendous meaning. Practicing the pre- cepts of this little sermon may save life. Stories printed tell of the death here and there through the consumption of food infected with an organism, a germ, a bug, bacillus: botulinus. Ripe olives have been the chief source of trouble. But corn, asparagus and string beans, home- canned, have also offended. And there is no greater likelihood of the poison being found in olives than in other foods. It has been found in Sausage and in cheese. The United States Bureau of Chemistry says that in practically every case of botulism the ~ food was shown to have had an offensive or ab- normal odor. It advises that consumers avoid food of any ‘description showing the slightest un- natural odor, color, swelling of the . container, signs of gas, or any evidence. of decomposition. +$7.20 | BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1920 All spoiled food may not contain the poison germ, botulinus, but any of it may. The'safe rule is to examine all foods carefully before serving and to discard those that are in any way suspicious. Safety first is a high class rule in this connection. Any sign of spoilation in the product is a clear warning that the food is no longer edible, the chemists say. America is not wholly dependent on Russia for our supply of flax and Bolshevists. Some of both is grown here, ‘A LUXURIANT BLOOM : One may recognize 4 plant by its blossoms.

You can say one thing about this era of ever- lasting peace. It is doing much to encourage preparedness. : DAN O’LEARY To keep well—walk. To live long—walk. To enjoy life—walk. The advice comes from Dan, O’Leary, who has stepped off 200,000 miles and is still going strong. Away back in the 80’s 0” Leary established his claim to the hiking-championship by three times| defeating Edward Payson Weston. O’Leary, whose home is in Chicago, is 79. He will celebrate his 80th birthday June 29 by tramping 100 miles at Springfield, Ill. He says Governor Lowden of Illinois has promised to walk the first 10 miles with him. Since 1874, when he first put his talent as a pedestrian to work, O’Leary literally has walked his: way around the world. Thus he gainéd a liberal education. He has met most of the prominent people. He has aided others by teaching them the value of walking as an exercise. So he doesn’t think his life. of “hitting the trail” has been a ‘useless one. | Lansing now is'a presidential candidate; so’s| ' every little boy in the fourth grade. Dan Roper is afraid too many Americans are re- writing the Golden Rule, to suit. themselves. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre- sented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the. press of the day. RUSSIA’S NEW GOSPEL OF WORK. It is an astounding fact that Soviet Russia re- cently has been winning the respect of the world, not by military successes, not by the overthrow of the Kolchaks and the rest of the monarchial leaders, not by negotiations and diplomacy, but by the new and unexpected soviet. gospel of hard work. : The soviet leaders who bamboozled a race of 160,000,000 people into believing that they could be happy without industries and could live with- out toil clapped upon the soviet populations a despotism of labor. It has been the best thing that ever happened to them;,it may turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to the rest of us. If Russian reports are 50 per cent credible every man that is able to work is not only compelled to get on a real job but he is kept on“it ten, twelve, and fourteen hours a day.. Women: are having similar tasks set for them. Thus Russia, Strangely. enough the only" country in the world which set up.a government policy or a govern- ment fiction of no labor for anybody, has become through her gospel of work the industrial menace of the greatest nations. in Europe.. This is so because when elsewhere millions of men refuse to do a square day’s work, and when millions of others have forgotten how to‘do it, any country of large population that buckles down to real work is on the road to become the productive leader of. the world. Not only the German government but the French and British governments have been quick to see the meaning of Russia’s going back ‘to in on the Russian trade, which now is full of promise. France tried to keep the others from rushing in, but when France found. that’ they were going anyhow the French government straightway found plenty of reason for consent- ing to go along with them. « Now perhaps comes our turn. What the Lon- don dispatch; probably means is that Soviet Rus- sia has not offered to-make peace with us, but has invited us to come to the tea party. In one way or another, Mr. Wilson approving or disap- proving, we’ll get there sooner or later. That gospel of hard work always appealed to the Amer- ican people in the old days as to no other people.| fre Unless the Americanism of our fathers is dead their spirit must rekindle to the flame which was and can be again a torch for the footsteps of man- kind—The Sun and New: York Herald. work. .

D March 10.—Wyo- ming’s next legislature probably will be asked to make an appropriation for a new state penitentiary which would be used for ‘ ‘imprisonment of first of- fenders. Investigation of condittons at the Rawlins prison has, according to state officials, shown that the institution is overcrowded and inadequate. The prison has about 300 convicts and was built to care for about 250. Some of the trustees: have been quartered in the old prison chapel and several have escapedfrom this _ building. Prisoners, young and old, first of- fenders and hardened criminals, are housed in the same cell building. The, problem has not been serious in thé summer when many of the convicts are at road camps but these camps are closed during the cold months. VIGILANTE TRAIL WILL LEAD TO: VIRGINIA CITY Twin Bridges, Mont., March 10— The Vigilante Trail association is per- fecting plans fora highway through the most historic districts of the state which will lead to Yellowstone park. The head of the trail will be at the present junction of the Yellowstone trail at Cedar: Hill, south of White- hall and will be routed through Twin Bridges, Sheridan, Virginia City and Ennis. In the days of the Vigilantes, Vir- ‘ginia City was a great gold camp and was the capital of. this territory. Stage robbers .operated effectively upon the Vigilantes organized. It is said that dozens of hangings took place along the route which tourists will travel. FOR RENT—250 acres of bi Boyd Township.
