THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER | | (Established 1873) Bo : “DEVIL OF DEVILS” If you ever feel yourself getting sick at heart, and the world becoming blacker and blacker, and “T have not a friend in all the world!” —stop and think. f If you are not loved by anyone, maybe you are not loving anyone. You cannot receive un- less you give. It is a give-and-take proposition. You cannot be greedy and receive, receive, re- ceive—never giving anything in return—unless you are to cut yourself off from your fellowmen. The devil of devils in these days is the “devil of selfishness.” It must be killed—‘“deader’n a door nail”—if the world is to go forward. At this distance there appears to be nobody in Mexico who is too proud to fight. ax WHEN CLEO DINED Cleopatra hay have dined on tongues of hum- ming birds. She may have'dissolved a pearl for drink. But nothing on her table equals, for qual- ity and delicacy what may be purchased in al- most any market in the United States. Consider the impression, if one knew nothing of honey and for the first time heard it de- scribed. The nectar of flowers. Sweetness gath- ered in infinitesimal portions from myriad blos- soms until there is enough to fill a spoon, or| spread on bread. : A dish of humming bird tongues is a crude, unimaginative dish compared to that. More cost- ly? Yes. But cost never was a true test of value. In this, as in many other instances, the finest thing is relatively cheap: The world pro- vides no more fanciful dainty than that which is gathered for anyone who keeps a hive of bees in his viJlage dooryard. P F ‘ Lucullus, Roman consul, is said to’ have brought fruits to his table from a great distance. He is said to have introduced the cherry tree into Eu- rope. . But no fruit he could obtain equalled the fruit | which modern farming has developed. All his wealth and power could not get him such an apple as can be bought for a few cents in almost any market hereabouts in 1920. Ouija boards work best when the operator has sensitive hands and a solid ivory head. GOD’S SHARE “Give God his share,” says a sign put out by churches that unite to raise a fund. The cause is even better than the slogan. When Jacob bought his hungry brother’s birth- right for a dinner and got it from his father by a trick, he had to run away, and the story tells that he met his God at Bethel and proposed that if God would prosper him in the new land that he sought, he would give back a tenth of all he made to God. Thus God’s share was settled. But as years went on, this rather sordid “‘cove- nant” of Hebrew tradition took on a deeper mean- ing, until men realized at last that God’s “share” is not a share at all. He demands not a part of man’s possessions, but the very man himself, and all of his devotion: “Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.’ And, * * * “thou shalt love ithy neigh- bors as thyself.” The two are connected. To give God His share may or may not mean to subscribe to some spe- cial cause. But it surely does mean to play fair with one’s neighbor in deed and thought, to care more about the work than the wages, to pay one’s taxes and see that they are not squandered, to be wisely and cheerfully helpful in all things, and ready, if, need be, to give “the last full measure of devotion” to some great cause. No church means to imply that “God’s share” can be paid in money. The next step after establishing communication ‘with Mars will be to divide her up into manda- taries. AN OLD STORY “If we provide generous salaries for the play- actors who minister only to the amusement of the public, and take pains to pay those who are not really necessary, how much more should we look after those who are molders of the style and character of our youth?” Who is it speaking thus? The spokesman of a teachers’ committee calling on a board of edu- cation to complain about salaries? Or are these the words of the sympathetic president of some mothers’ club?’ Neither! This familiar argument for higher pay for teachers was written in the year 534 by King Athalric, decendent of barbarian Goths, in a letter addressed to the senate of Rome. He was making for the teachers of his city the self- same idea that: may be heard in almost any com- munity in America. ’ Pleading for better pay, the teachers of our time point out that they cannot do their work at school properly so long as they must worry about making ends meet at home. u Mark what King Athalric said to the same pur- pose: : “Let them net have to try the philosophical problem of thinking about two things at once; but, with their minds at ease about their subsis- tence, devote themselves with all their might to the teaching of liberal arts.” | Though 1400 years have elapsed since Athalric spoke thus, the optimistic teaching profession does not yet despair of winning proper public recognition. But Kenneth C. M. Sills, an Ameri- can educator, writing in The Review, observes: “Tf the grandson of a Goth could write so intelli- gently, have we a right to pride ourselves too much on our distance from the dark night of Gothic ignorance, if the same problems still con- front us and if we are no less stupid in their solu- | tion?” No matter how low a dollar may fall, it is given a seat in the council of politicians. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre- sented here in order vhat our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed im + the press of the day. FOOD SUPPLY OF FIRST IMPORTANCE Congressman Baer of North Dakota is regard- ed as the chief spokesman in the House for the Townleyites. We have had occasion in these col- umns to contradict so many of his statements that we are glad to find occasion in which we can agree with him. Ina recent address on the floor of the house he stated that the food problem was of first importance, not only in the United States, % ‘ A | PEOPLE'S FORUM > a ° An Appreciation Valey City, North Dakota, 5-11-20. Editor of Tribune: but in the world; that the capacity of a nation to raise foodstuffs was a measure of its stability and permanent prosperity. We heartily agree with Mr. Baer in his state-| ment and want to hold him strictly to that prin- ciple. Judged by such precepts, his Nonpartisan league program, not only in North Dakota, but in its efforts to affiliate with the labor unions in cities, must be condemned, as the result all along { the line is to decrease the supply of food products by actual interference with farm work, by enorm- ous ‘increases of the farmers’ taxes and by ‘up- holding the labor unions in their continual ef-| forts to curtail industrial production, which. ulti- mately results in decreasing farm products. One of the villainies that patriotic citizens had to com- bat during the war was the Townley propaganda to decrease the output of the farms which was: waged on the grounds “that the damn profiteers or middlemen were those most benefited.” 9 All the Socialist schemes included in the indus- trial program of the Townleyites in North Da- kota will result in added cost to the taxpayers and lessened efficiency in the particular work undertaken, and there is no escape from the con- clusion that this means a shrinkage in farm products. In trying to enlist the support of labor unions in the industrial centers, the Townleyites of course will not for a!moment admit that their activities will result in lessened output’ of food products, as that means a higher cost of living to everybody, but such result is as inevitable as it is clear to all economic students. The same is true throughout the industrial world, where the unions have succeeded in rais- ing wages, in cutting down the hours of work, with a net result of lessened efficiency and de- crease in output. What the farmer needs is more farm implements, more goods of every sort, more labor saving machinery and more efficient help in order to increase the output of food products. The agitation of the radicals whether in labor organizations or in leagues such as Townleys’ has the exact opposite effect.. The farmer's chief complaint this spring is the scarcity and ineffi- ciency of labor. That is the great factor in pre- venting farmers from increasing the food supply. This journal hag contended from the start that this Townley movement is destined to failure and has never had occasion to change that opinion. After an exhaustive study of Townleyism, that veteran Kansas editor, William Allen White, edi- tor of the Emporium Gazette, condemns it on two fundamental charges. First, that it is a class movement and second that it is bound to fail. In speaking of this latter certainty he says: “The men at the head of the league are not\honest and have no capacity for the big scheme which they propose. They are trying out a social program, which the wisest and shrewdest business men would ‘hesitate to undertake. The league is doomed to fail‘and will lose millions of money and in losing this money thousands of men and women will Iose their faith in human nature and in the progress of mankind.” This will be one of ‘the greatest tragedies to follow in the wake of Townleyism, the destruc- tion of confidence and the loss of faith in man- kind. When the farmers once realize that they have been fooled again by clever demagogues, they will be suspicious even of leaders who have the best intentions, and desire to see the farmers It is not generally understood that George M. Young, congressman from the second. district, occupies a pre- eminent position in congress. Since Jim Tawney was defeated for congiess in the second district in !Minnesota, Young is‘the first’ congressman in the northwest to occupy a position upon the ways and means committee except for about a year in 1913, Anderson of Minnesota, who accepted a position on the committee. has always been the most important in the house, of representatives and has become more important since the world war.’ Ifvthis committee tariffs were made and tax and fiscal pro- grams..shaped. Young is eighth in rank upon this committee of 22, four- teen republicans,and eight democrats; and if re-elected will move to third} or fourth place. | It will be recalled that he succeed: ed Halvorson upon the agricultural committee,and as,the only representa- tive of the wheat growing states and as a member of the agricultural com- mittee he will doubtless have charge of the agricultural schedules in the next tariff to be written by the repub- lican administmation. » He can be .of inestimable service to the people of the northwest in this’ respect. A new man going to congress from the second district could not hope to secure a position upon the ways and Means committee. It is the committee sought most in-congress. and Young only obtained a position upon it as a result of the Wilson landslide and the removal of so many republicans of! long service from the house. This | gave Young his chance and he has! preferred the position upon the ways | and means committee to a committee chairmanship, and if reelected, under a republican administration, will be in charge of the agricultural schedules of a new tariff bill and in a pasition to speak for the agricultural interests in matter of taxation and finance in the new congress. Even if the demo- crats should win the next congress, Young’s rank would still easily bring him within the number of Republicans who would remain upon the committee and he would still have an influential voice in shaping the agricultural schedules in the new tariff. _. Young’s business’ interests are es- sentially agricultural and are wholly within tha second congressional dis- trict, and as a matter of belief, policy and personal interest he will safe- guard the agricultural intérests of North Dakota and the northwest. This was indicated by his strenuous fight for three dollar wheat instead of a dollarand-sixty-five wheat at the time Doctor Garfield and his commission were attempting to fix the price of wheat at the latter figure. Had Young’s price of $3.00 been accepted, millions of bushels of wheat would not have. been fed to animals’ while the people of the United States were “Diamond Dyes” Tell You How A’ Child can Follow.

The “Bayer Cross” means true, world-famous Aspirin, prescrined by physicians for over eighteen years. and proved safe by millions for Colds, Headache, Harache, Toothache, Neur- algia, Lumbago, 'Neuritis, and for Pain in general. Proper and_ safe direc- tions are in each unbroken “Bayér’ package. Handy tin boxes of 12 tablets cost but a few cents. Druggists also sell larger “Bayer”? packages. Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer, Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester of Salicylica- cid, eating substitutes which were only fit for animal consumption, To remove Young with his eight years seniority and forego a comman- dary position, let alone any position onthe ways and means committee, would be the height of political and business folly and would be an irre- parable injury to North Dakota and the northwest. y A Reader. FIRST TRADE TRIP | IN AIR IN STATE IS BIG SUCCESS A..F. Toppins Finds Airplane * Big Help in Selling Automobiles The first trade trip in ‘North Dakota by airplane has just been completed by A. F. Toppins of the’ Baker-Top- pins Automobile company of this city. Mr, Toppins, piloted by Lieut. ©. J. Cameron, flew to Terry, Mont.. and i} stopping at all of the principle cities and towns en route... The trip took over ten days, during which time Mr. Toppins sold over ten Scripps~ Booth automobiles handled by his company. The distance from Bismarck to Ter- ry is 250 miles. With the exception of a slight accident at Glendive. (Mont., which held up the airplane for 18 hours, the trip, was uneventful. but very interesting, Mr. Toppins de- clared. Mr. Toppins said today that he believed the novelty of an.auto- mobile representative visiting his ter- ritory by airplane was so unusual that it contributed it no small measure to the success of the trip. Among the cities and towns visited by Mr. Toppins and Lieut. Cameron are New Salem, Glen Ullin, Hebron, Richardton, Taylor, Dickinson. Bel- field, Medora, Beach, all in ‘North Da- kota, and Wibaux, Glendive, Fallon and Terry in ‘Montana. While on the return trip, Lieut. Cameron ran into a heavy wind after leaving ‘New Salem. It took tho air- plane 25 minutes to make the trip from New Salem to Sweetbrier, a distance of twelve miles. As it started to rain and became suddenly dark, the pilot decided to return to \New Salem. The trip back to New | Salem, with a strong win behind the “ship” was made in eight minutes. Mr. Toppins plans on making all of his trips over the territory by means of airplane. “It's faster—and’ nicer,” he said. DRIVING NEW CAR Major George H.. Russ, Jr., vice president of the Bismarck bank and commander of the Bismarck post of the American legion, is driving a new share in a general prosperity—Commercial West. even if you have never dyed before. Druggist has color card. Scripps-Booth automobile he recent- Jy ‘purchased. . ‘USE EYES WHEN FAT CHANCE FER A ROOSTER To tATCH ANYTHING OUT OF a ORPHEUM THEATRE Viola Dana’s claim to the sobriquet of “Never-Grow-Up” was vindicated recently in the rather unwelcome form of an attack of measles. The diminu- tive star was kept from her work in “The Willow Tree,” . the Benrimo- Rhodes fantasy June Mathis adapted from the Cohea and Harris stage suc- cess. for Screen Classics, Inc., for ten iays. e During her illness members of the company sent Miss Dana dolls anr toy houses ann Teddy bears—in fact..all sorts of things which might appeal to one of the measles age. So eager was > AT THE ‘ é ,the little star to return to work that her director, Henry Otto, feared she had come’ back before the camera too soon. “No indeed, Mr. Otto,” Viola assured him, “I’m quite well. I haven't a single measle left.” x The winsome little star will be seen tonight at the Orpheum theatre in her latest picture, “The Willow Tress.” ELTINGE THEATRE Tonight the management of the El- tinge theatre will offer its patrons an elaborate version of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story-of Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This story,. which ranks high among the masterpieces of English literature, is perhaps one of the most popular, as well as widely read, of the classics of our literature. The author of the story, like many of the other leading figures in the his- tory of English literature. in most of his works chose the subject of a man who bartered his soul in return for some fancied benefit. In Goethe's Faust we have a story which resembles Jekyll and Hyde in its tragic note, while the similarity be- tween Shakespeare's Macbeth and Ste- venson’s story is extremely striking in their spiritual aspects. The picture will hold the place of honor at the Eltinge. The other features of the ‘bill will he of the usual high standard. ft by this popular playhouse. WELCOME RAIN AIDS CROPS IN- MANY COUNTIES Rain clouds have apparently passed Bismarck territory by for a few days, at least, according to indications re- ported by the U. S. weather bureau. In the last forty-eight hours there has been rain in South Dakota, and in many parts of North Dakota, Rain was indicated here, but. showers fail- ed to appear. In. the last forty-eight hours, rain- fall was reported from various cities as follows. Amenia, .26 inch; Lisbon, 06; ‘Minot, .05; Wahpeton, .05; Wil- liston, in the northern-area of the state, .34, and Morehead, Minn., near Fargo, e In ‘some places the rain was not sufficient to do material good to crops.

NELLIE PECK, of Kan- sas City, who says her little boy never had a well-day until he began taking Tanlac. Declares she will never be able to pay the debt of gratitude she owes the medicine. “J will never be able to pay the debt of gratitude I owe to. Taniac for what it has done. for my. little boy and me,” said Mrs. Nellie Peck, No. 1421 Charlotte St. Kansas City, re- ; cently. y. Pier ’ “My little bey, Curtis is fourteen years old and never in-his life had he seen a well day until he began taking Tanlac. I worried and worried over his condition, but in spite of every- thing I could do he didn’t seem to gain any strength and was weak and Juelicate practieally all his life. He seemed to have-a very. weak stomach. It just looked like he couldn’t eat anything and digest it like other children, He had no appetite at all and what litile he did eat seemed to sour on his stomach. Sometimes his heart would palpitate terribly and he would | get so dizzy he could. hardly walk and ;as I stood and looked at him I thought he would surely fall over. He would have bad headaches and was nervous and could never sleep well at night. At school he was nev- er able to keep up his work and he had to stay out a great deal on ac- count of poor health. “I had heard so much about Tan- lac I decided to try it and see if it {wouldn't help him. Well. you just tean’t imagine how overjoyed I was when he began to improve! I kept right on giving him the medicine un- til now it is hard for me to believe he is the same child, His health is better than ever before in his life and he is bright and playful all the time and he enoys going out and playing with other boys. He has a splendid appetite and I let him eat anythin he wants. He is not. the least bit’ nervous any more and is asleep as soon as: he.goes to bed. In fact, he is perfectly well in every oway. % “After sceing what Tanlac did for him I began ‘taking it myself as I haye been suffering from stomach trouble, headaches and dizziness fon five years. Since taking this grand medicine I am now happy to say that T never suffer any more with these troubles. “Tanlac has been onc of the great- est blessings that ever came into our home and I expect to praise it as long as I live.” , Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow; in Driscoll by J. H. and N. D. Barrette and in Wing by H. P. Homan.—Advt. MUDDY WATER TUESDAY DUE TO SPRINKLER USING FIRE HYDRANTS The reason for the.muddy condition ofthe water during most of Tuesday was due to the city sprinkling wagon drawing its water from fire hydrants instead of the standpipes provided for filling the sprinkler, accoring to A.

Mr, Ostrander de- nied that the condition of the water Tuesday was due to cleaning the re- servoirs as this has ben finished fcr the present, he said.
