Not many remember the days when “under the spreading chestnut tree “the village smithy stands.” But it is no far stretch to the day of the village blacksmith shop ‘with its leather-aproned, red-shirted ‘Hercules, its billowing bellows, the ringing anvil, the spark ‘shower, the slowly-shaping horseshoe and — the “stamping steel, added to which was an undeniable odor of ammonia and the scent of burning horses’ hoofs. - : The village blacksmith, “and a mighty man is he,” was the village tinker. He fixed everything. But with all his: mechanical ability he is being pushed out by a new type. The village black- smith shop, except in a very few places, has un- dergone a change, a transformation. Blame’ the gasoline motor. The shop has turned into a garage. There’s a lathe and an oxyacetylene welding plant installed. The horses of the plow have been replaced by a tractor that \ never needs a horseshoe. Why, there isn’t even a horseshoe hanging | above the door for good luck! But there’s a half. dozen broken-down automo- biles: “out: in front,” or in process of Tepenetalion within the qouble doors. “<The sign of the “Village Blacksmith” nowa- | days, if not displayed on the shop, would, if put: H » ‘{n\words say, probably: “Autos Repaired and | } Flivvers Fixed.” ‘He likes his joke, the garage| “man, ‘even if he has seen better days, for it ex- presses his business and his ‘ability.

For: hours they will splash and wade and Foll, requiring as little diversion, as little enter- ‘tainment from without, as does the kitten with ité ball of yarn, or the pup with his bone. Parents of every degree and station who must raise their families in cities come up against this « problem of the fretful, blase, tired children, and as our cities grow and our backyards disappear the problem becomes more and more acute, and q so far have we left our ancient healthful heritage that many parents do not realize what is the mat- ter with their youngsters. | °° = Take them out the first bright, warm day and i let them amuse themselves in some quiet, clean pasture, where a little brook sings its lullaby, and| the tiny brisk birds and.creatures of the air and the fields ‘are living their spring song.

Hasn’t he _ that always been ‘customary? “ And yet the government tax on income isn’t. as annoying as the profiteer tax on outgo. The world would be fully as well off if it had fewer statesmen and more school teachers. _ It is hardly necessary, to explain the —movie featuring Jack Dempsey is not a war picture. * The trouble is that when a small country pro- claims its independence it begins to act too darned ‘independent.

WILSON’S VETO OF A . PEACE’ RESOLUTION Whether President Wilson will veto, as White House oracles declare, or will not veto a peace resolution passed by the United States congress should not make a particle of difference to the house-and to the senate. If he wants to take the preposterous position that we are still at war when any child knows that:there‘is no more ac- — than there is between Great Britain and France, 0| let him take such a, position, let-him veto the peace resolution and let him see what he can make out of it. If Mr. Wilson does commit such a contradiction in logic and such a blunder. in statesmanship it is no duty and it is no business of an American con- gress that knows the difference between a hawk and a handsaw to spare him from his incompara- ble folly. On the contrary, members of the Unit- ed States congress, republican and'democrat, from the east and from the west, from the north and from thq south, ought to welcome with all their patriotic hearts the opportunity to repass such a resolution over the veto of an executive who would thus deny that white is white. ‘ There would, be no better way to give the na- tion’s official advice and information to the whole wide world that on his League of Nations Mr. Wilson is in a'minority of sublime solitude than. for the congress of the United States to bury his veto under a vote of repassage as virtually unani- mous as it would be American.—The Sun and New York Herald. * NO TIME TO SPLIT That the determination of thousands of North state‘from Townley and socialism would : bring forward able and’ honest men desirous of leading the fight was expected, and following close upon the announcement of William Langer, comes that of R. A. Nestos, prominent republican of progres- sive reputation and standing. Other candidates are, possible and probable, each with just claims i for consideration. . The people of North Dakota opposed to Town- leyism are not today interested so much in the advancement of any oie particular candidate for governor, as they are in calling a sudden halt: to the present misrule, extravagance and radical so- cialistic: menace, and government of North Da- kota by a crowd that support, condone, or excuse Versen Couldn’t Stand Up Under the Work, He Says “T haye taken Iny s my share of medi- cine during the past three years but everything failed to ‘relieve my trou- ble until I gdt hold of Tanlac: said John Versen, a civilian employee in the Quartermaster’s department at Fort Snelling, Minn, while telling of his remarkable recovery by the use of this medicine, recently. . “ET had held. out. about as long 1 could, after being troubled for three years with rheumatism, indigestion, constipation and’ a general run-down condition,” Mr, Versen continued. “1 had rheumatism in my arm and should- ers and in my back, right between the shoulder blades, so had J could hardly move my arms’ and it was agony for me to. put on my coat or dress myself, let alone trying to do my work. I had been doing outside work but I could not stand up under it any longer and had to ask to be transferred to the in+ side. My digestion was so bad that hardly a thing agreed with me. About a half hour after every meal I would start to bloat up with gas and, would have awful attacks of indigestion and was troubled all the time with consti pation. “As I said, nothing. helped me one particle until I began. taking Tunlac, and that did the work, and today after taking three bottles, I haven't qn ache or pain in my body. All signs of rheu- matism have disappeared entirely and I am as active ‘as I ever was before. T eat three sheayy.. m and neyer suffer, any Iv after effects at all and my constipation has Leen relieved. I sleep better at night ind when morning comes Iam ready for as big a day’s work as any man. ‘1 feel several years’ younger and jam just full’ of life aha energy all ‘the time.

ELECT SUPERINTENDENT Mandan, April 2s—A meéting’ of the, board of trustees of, the Mandan such people as Kate 0’. Hare, Goldman, ‘Bergman and company... A very evident desire ‘and decision by the men and women of the state dpposed to Townleyism to unite into one organization “the fight against the present rulers of North Dakota was clearly dem- onstrated in the recent presidential primary elec- tion. :The two anti-league factions quickly fused into a solid opposition to the league slate, and defeated it emphatically. Such a fusion will be necessary to win in the June primaries. The candidates and their sup- porters must continue to place the cause ahead of personal ambitions and interests.” To divide will bring sure defeat, but a united front will bring victory just as surely.—The Jamestown Alert. _ IMMIGRATION ‘PROSPECTS | On two consecutive days. this week more than 2,000 Italian immigrants passed through Ellis Is- land, and it is reported that the steerages/ of all incoming Mediterranean ships are crowded. A decided revival of immigration has been indicated for some time. On the basis of news from con- sulates abroad immigration authorities have been preparing for a heavy increase. Last year the total of entrants mounted month by month. It started at 9,852 for the whole country; in July it had almost doubled, and in October it was found to have nearly doubled again, reaching 32,- 418. The decrease that came in November ‘was attributable to the port strike that tied up so much shipping. It was only a small decline, the number falling to 27,219. In general, the whole recent -history of Ammigration..shows_ that the winter months—December, January and: Febru- ary—bring a much smaller number of aliens’ to our shores than do the warm months. Immigra- tion figures for the nation for the recent months have not been published. “But Ellis Island reports that in January 25,051 immigrants , entered through the port of New York and in February 22,086. It is believed there that the arrivals this month will rise above 30,000. Yet it must be remembered that the emigration to Europe was comparatively high all last year. Repeatedly the month’s record showed more de- partures than arrivals. Last March the excess was more than 2,000. _ In: August some 8,000 more people left than reached our shores. But,in October the balance had been earried to-the credit side of the ledger, the’ United States receiving nearly 7,000. people more than it,sent away, and it seems clear we shall now gain rapidly.
