THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ” (Established 1878) THEY’RE SO NOISY Dutch manufacturers are trying to introduce the habit of wearing wooden shoes in this coun- try. They will be cheaper than leather shoes. Also + they are greater producers of noise. With wooden shoes on pa’s feet there’ll be no sneaking up the stairs in the wee sma’ hours of the-morning and not awakening mother. Why, he'll be lucky not to wake up everybody in the “ Wlock! . On the other hand, a burglar would have no easy time clattering round downstairs in a pair of wooden shoes. WINNING IN OIL Did you read about that Chicago boy who trad: ed his $400 worth of liberty bonds for an oil lease? And how he was offered $10,000 for the lease? And didn’t you think, how nice it would be to do something like that with your liberty bonds, or your savings account? F ; Don’t do’it before you have thought out the chances ‘you will take. : Once in a million times a person may find a needie in'a straw stack—but that’s a poor gamble. Persons have bought gold bricks, but seldom - were they gold. , 2 : ountless millioks have tried to get something ’ for nothing—and didn’t. |' 4 Where one made a fortune out of oil. a thous- and failed to break even. ; \ Scores of oil stock dealers have what they call “liberty bond sucker lists,” and they’re going to induce other bond owners to part ‘with their ‘sav- ings. Don’t do it merely because a boy happened to “strike it rich.” So many of the oil stocks are continuous April foolers. THE REAL THING ~ : The movie business has taken its placa as one of the colossal business ventures of the world. , The progress made in the industry and some of *, the figures it provides, are startling. ( Because, for instance, the domestic production of film has now reached the total of 2,000,000 feet annually, a product worth approximately _. $75,000,000. i za “The United States, by far the largest producers ‘of movie film in the world, exported over 50,000 miles of film last year in the manufactured and still to be manufactured state. _ That is'some- thing over $10,000,000 worth. And the business is growing by leaps and bounds. { There isn’t such a'thing as over-production. On the contrary the demand is for more movies and for better movies, and the world is being scou: for plots and stories that will stand filming, and for lots and locations that will provide the back- ground. The manufactured film that was exported last year was distributed in 53 countries. Europe, Asia, South America, Canada, Mexico and South Africa, each took a part. The unclad native of British East Africa tried to comprehend the an- tics of Charlie and “Fatty” and Doug, as well as did the turbaned tot of India. 1 FOR OLD MEN , John Walsh, 69, an ex-soldier and friend of Dan O'Leary, most famous of pedestrians, has started west on a walk across the continent to San Fran- cisco, . “Too mény men think they’re done for when they approach’ 70,” says Walsh. “They sit by the fire place‘and wait for degth to take'them. And that’s when they are done for. “So they begin’ to decline at ‘the €arly jage of 70. I propose to wear out, not to rust. 'That’s ,. why I’m, walking. ~ mes 2 "Old age is a calamity only to the-extent that men make it such for themselves.. There is no ight more inspiring than the old man playing young. ~~ t i» “The fact is,” wrote Cicero, tha Roman, “that old age is respectable just as long as it asserts it- » self; maintains its proper rights and is not en- slaved to any one.” , * . Cicero, himself of ripe age, described the ideal “old man, thus: “He keeps his \ mind at full ,, Stretch like a bow, and never gives it ta old age ' by growing slack. He maintains not merely an influence but an absolute command over his fam- ily * *,* The man who aims) at this may possibly become old in body—but. in mind he never will.” : Greek every day and for the exercise of his mem- A a ws + j MONDAY, APRIL 5, 1920 ory he repeated in the evening whatever he had said, heard, or done in the course of each day. “For a man who-is always living in the midst of these studies and labors does not perceive when old age creeps upon him,” he wrote. “Thus, by slow and imperceptible degrees life draws to its end. There is no sudden breakage; it just ‘slowly goes out.” a ; , : A man is as old as he feels, as the saying goes. And he’s as young as he thinks. —_——_ < “DIMENSIONS” ' When people talk of “four dimensions” it is well to know what they mean by one or two or three. The length of a room is a matter of only one dimension; for a single straight line will measure it. eae The size of the floor is a matter of two dimen- sions; for one must measure in two different di- rections to find it. But when one asks how much lumber it took to make the floor, he must meas- | ure its thickness ‘also; and that, makes three di- mensions. ! ee That is as far as human experience ever: goes. Time has onlyione dimension. It means sorfie- thing to say that one event took place.so long be- fore or after another, or-that both: took place at once. Thus time has length, but no breadth or} | thickness. a When scientists speak of four dimensions of space, they méan something like this: (1)! that if it were possible to make a model in four dimen- sions (as of course it is not) then they could use points upon it to represent the position of an ob- ject in every one of the three dimensions of space at every moment of time, and (2) that they get valuable results by using the mathematics that they would use in connection. with ‘such a model. They do not mean that there is any magical way of jumping in or out of the everyone is familiar. ‘ BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE . Persons who anxiously look forward to the fond day when “For Rent” signs will again hang in windows of vacant houses will find small en-| 2ouragement in a comparison of’ the figures for building. permits' and marriage licenses. For records of various American cities show that marriage licenses are from three to.15 times as great as are permits for the erection of houses and apartments. .... | |, ‘ There’s a pretty to-do.

General Langer at Mandan. F That is rather frank talk from Mr. Langer, and may not be altogether tactful or politic, but it is the bald truth. We have the machinery at hand here in North Dakota for the holding of‘a‘fair and representa- tive republican, convention to select candidates. That convention should be organized through the precinct caucuses and the county conventions, in the same manner that the recent Bismarck con- vention was organized. This convention should then select the candidates to oppose Townleyism. Any man who refuses to abide by the election of such -a properly organized republican convention, and who insists on becoming a candidate in spite of any action\of that convention, convicts him- self of placing his - personal political fortunes above the best interests of his party and the state, hands of thé républican, Voters.—Fango Forum. space with which \ AFTER You, / 1 Guess You'Re NEXT, JOSEPHUS 4 | AT THE: MOVIES { Mary Milés Miniter, Star of the Real- art Picture, “Judy 6f: Rogues’ Harbor,” which ‘will be shown at. theEltinge |’ The beauties of nature-for us create. heatre: tonight, is’ afforded every. op- portunity. to‘ dis; hen gifted-ability and matured \artistry “in this well- known story, adapted ‘from .Grace Mil- ler White'# hook. ‘The athtic young star enters into the tenge scenes and exciting situations/with ‘all the vim, vigor, verve and. yivacity of her girl- hood.
