The answer is vacation time! For lo these many days mother has been rust- ling and hustling about in the early morning, get- ting sonny or daughter off to school. And all through the morning and the afternoon there has been a lack of youthful cheerfulness. Now there will be th merry laugh and the smil- ing face of “our little kiddies,” to keep the cheer- ful spirit uppermost ‘round the household. The real love that goes out to the little ones, and the pleasure in having them around, is stronger than the bit of bother they bring through litter- ing up the house and constantly shouting, “Can T have a piece of bread and jelly ?” Somehow the world has just got to envy the mother and dad who have tiny tots and feel sort of sorry for the folk who keep only a pet poodle.

On every wall in every department of a nation- ally-known industrial plant is posted the com- mand “THINK!” New employes sometimes are puzzled by it. Think? Aren’t they always thinking? Isn't thinking an automatic process, like breathing? But the fact is that most of us think we think when we aren’t. If you really stop to think you will discover that your mind is occupied less than half the time. It is like an engine that never is speeded up to its full working capacity, and lies! idle part of the day. What you think is thinking is often just wool- gathering; day-dreaming; the wasted motion of a motor that turns on itself all day without trans- mitting motion. Make an analysis this evening of what your mind did during the day and you will be surprised to discover that for a consider- able‘portion of the day it was engaged in no con- scious activity. The mind is not an automatic machine. On the contrary, it is the most indolent member of: your system. It needs to be driven. It likes to go in ruts and loaf. It likes the easiest way and dis- likes thinking things through. It shuns exercise. But despite this natural habit of indolence, the mind contains vast resources of undeveloped pow- er, that require thinking exercise to bring them out. Between the thinking mind and the loafing mind there is all the difference between fat and muscle. : And, by the way, there is nothing more refresh- ing to the whole physical system than a spell of good conscious, purposeful thinking. Try it, THINK! SOVIET PLEADS GUILTY “There is no need to send missions of investiga- tion to Russia in order to get an idea of the terri- ble situation in this vast martyrized country. It is sufficient to read a collection of Bolshevist pap- ers.’ Even in this official and unreliable mirror, a terrible reality is reflected, and ‘a frightful pic- ture appears. “The fact is that the unimaginable disasters, which in fact overwhelm the Russian population, are so great that a newspaper appearing in Rus- sia, even though it is a government paper, cannot talk of anything else. “What strikes one first of all in the reading of these (Soviet) papers is the terrible catastro- phic conditions of the Russian cities * * * The Bolshevist papers give details. In Moscow, for example, where conditions are the most fav- orable, there are 500,000 tons of waste that has not been removed. “Famine is constantly becoming more acute. They were not successful in collecting from the harvests in the producing regions more than a seventh part of the quantity of grain and fodder necessary, and one was able to transport to the centers of famine only 3 per cent to 4 per cent of this minimum quantity. “At the same time, the schools are closing for lack of teachers and because it is impossible to secure for the pupils books, paper and pencils. All library activity is gradually dying out. “The ruin of the Russian cities, the death, with terrible convulsions, of the entire urban culture of | Social-Revolutionist, and was . published May 8; 1920, in “Pour la Russie,” a well known Socialist- Revolutionaries.

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 readera may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed im the press of the day. THE FACTS ABOUT TOWNLEY’S FLOUR MILL What is there in the doctrine of Socialism and the preaching of the ultra radicals that prevents such leaders from telling the truth? Even in the simplest matter they are “prone to lie as the sparks fly upward.” Governor Frazier of North Dakota, in a signed article in the New York Times of May 16th, states that the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce “re- fused to sell our cooperative marketing organiza- tion a membership.” Governor Frazier refers to the Equity Co-operative Grain Exchange. Ac- cording to the officials of the Minneapolis Cham- ber of Commerce the organization Governor Fraz- ier refers to never applied for a membership so it was never refused. In boosting all the socialistic schemes of the Townleyites Governor Frazier statés that their political mill and elevator in North Dakota, which was purchased last summer, “has been a great saving to the farmers.” He says, “This mill pays on an average of 12 cents a bushel for wheat more than other elevators and mills in the state and at the same time sells flour at 50 cents per barrel less than other mills sell the same grade of flour.” W. A. Campbell, publisher of the Helena Inde- pendent, took occasion to run over to North Da- kota and investigate these statements at first hand. He bought the state flour and also the flour made by Big Biz as Townley is pleased to call it. He found the exact opposite of what Gov- ernor Frazier stated was the truth, viz., that the state flour cost a dollar a barrel more than that made by other North Dakota mills or Minneapolis millers. He even went further and got prices on number one wheat and discovered that the state owned mill was paying about 13 cents less for wheat than other mills. Just how Governor Frazier or other Townleyites can figure a great saving to the farmers by receiving less for their wheat and paying more for their flour only, a socialist mathematician could explain. : This interesting exposure is contained in a hal page article in the Helena Independent of May 23. The report includes photograph reproductions of receipted bills of flour purchases and also flour prices which were printed in the Fargo Courier News, the official organ in North Dakota of the Townleyites, quoting a well known Minneapolis brand of flour at $14.30 a barrel, when the flour at the Townley mill in North Dakota was selling at $16 a barrel. This is simply another sample of the buncombe that is handed to the farmers in North Dakota and which they have gulped down for the sacred cause of Townleyism. How much longer they are willing to stand for this sort of humbug we will know when the election returns come in next No- vember.—Commercial West. FREE TOGO TO DESTRUCTION The state of North Dakota may legislate along every line of destruction and~ demoralization which its people and courts will tolerate as long as it does not violate the federal constitution, says the supreme court of the United States. The court of last resort is unusually regardful of states’ rights in this decision. It refused to in- terfere with the socialistic program of the Town- ley control, holding that if the state chooses to tax its people for these questionable purposes it has the power to do so, provided that rights se- cured by the federal constitution are not invaded. It was set up in the attack upon the industrial program that it deprived persons of their prop- erty without due process of law, as the constitu- tion requires, but the highest court holds that in this case the law was duly enacted and sustained by the state courts and there is no ground for federal interference. Let this be clearly understood. The supreme court has nothing to do with the wisdom of the North Dakota system, the soundness of the eco- nomic policies involved or the ultimate harm to result. It dealt only with the question of exercise of legislative power and held that that was a question for North Dakota to decide for itself. If the people of that state can stand for it, the na- tion is not concerned. It is a matter of law, not of sound public policy. If Townleyism can extract from this decision any special satisfaction it is welcome to it.

Which Flag? a Do you believe that we in North Dakota should permit the anarchists who shot our sol- dier boys on Armistice Day to parade thru the streets of our cities carrying the red flag, in front of their procession? Do you believe that we should tolerate in our midst anywhere, the emblem of an organization which puts in its official song-book such sacrilege as this: “Onward Christian soldiers! Duty’s way Is plain: Slay your Christian neighbors, or by them be slain, Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent swill, God above is calling you to rob and rape and kill, All your acts are sanctioned by the Lamb on high; If you love the Holy Ghost, go murder, pray and dic.” And such inciting to revolution as this: Come on, you fellows; get in line; we'll fill the boss with fears; Red's the color of our flag, it’s stained with blood and tears— - We'll flout. it In his ugly mug and ring our loudest cheers For ONE LIG INDUSTRIAL UNION!

We have constables and justices of the peace in every township and in every village, police magistrates and a police force in every city, a state’s attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in every county, state and county grand jurics, courts of all kinds, an attorney general’s office, a licensing and inspection department, and a National Guard, all of it operating at the ex- pense of the taxpayers for the purpose of main- taining law and order. We have had no serious riots or outbreaks, and there is no. reason to believe that we will , have any in the near future, so why have a law adding a state sheriff and a state constabulary to all the rest of the machinery which we now have? Do you as a citizen of North Dakota be- | lieve that it is wise to authorize the governor to | appoint a state sheriff, who shall have authority ‘ to order all county sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and : other peace officers, to do anything he wants them to do, and to remove them from: office if they fail to do it? If the State Sheriff law is approved on June 30th, that is what will happen in North Dakota. Talk to your neighbors about this law. Hand them literature. Get them along with you to meetings where they may. hear thislaw discussed. Ask them to vote “No” on i this law on primary election day.

If you do not, then you must vote against the Smelling Committee law, because that law makes it possible for a committee of five men, all of them members of the same political faction or party, to use $25,000 of taxpayers’ money for political purposes. This committee, or even its chairman alone, can cause private investigations to be made for private political purposes and, under the pre- tense of making investigations, political hench- men of the Nonpartisan League can be kept at | work in every county in the state for the benefit of the League tickets at the expense of all tax- payers, League or not League. It may be true of a few members of the Non- partisan League as it is of most of the leaders in it, that they would want such a law in opera- tion for the purpose of gaining political advan- tage over those that are opposed to them, but certainly a majority of the league members are too honorable to want to use either the money, records or offices of the state government as a means of profit for themselves or for the pur- pose of promoting their personal political be- liefs, or getting their personal friends into pub- lic office, It is well to remember that any law that works unfairly in favor of the League and against those opposed to it, will work just as unfairly against the League and in favor ‘of those who oppose it. i No political gang of any kind will ever get a chance to use this law if the people vote it down now. Talk to your neighbors about how needless, expensive and dangerous this law is, and get them to agree with you that they are going to vote it down.

Do you believe that the women of our state should be put in such a position that they will have to mark their ballots in the presence of a political agent, whether he is a member of the Nonpartisan League, the I. V. A. or any other organization that is especially interested in our political situation? It is well enough to propose to make it easier for the women to vote, but if that were the whole motive, why not leave the law in such shape as to. protect the secrecy of the ballot, which was guaranteed to every citizen that has come into our state? Tell your neighbors about this law and ask them to vote “No” on it. Shall the Absent Voters (Yes ( Law be Approved?.......

HOW MODEL PLANE MAY BE TESTED BEFORE $ ACTUAL FLIGHT IS MADE. ~—Here are some bits of advice for model plane builders and flyers, written by H. C, Ellis, an expert on such things, for the Everyday Engineering Maga- zine: : To test the. model, first wind its motor up about half the num- ber of revolutions ordinarily used ard then launch from the hand against the wind. If the model exhibits a ten- dency to dive, it shows that it is head heavy; that is to. say, there is not enough lift in front. This is easily corrected by slid- ing the main plane forward to increase the lift: in front. If, on the other hand, the model climbs too much, it shows that it Is: tail heavy, in whic case just the reverse procedure is used—i. e., shifting the main plane back to increase the lift in the back. , If the model tips over side- ways, either to the right or left, itis probably due to the torque or twisting tendency of the pro- peller or faulty alignment of » the main planes, tail-plane or rudder, or, in the gpse of a dou- © ble propeller machine, one pro- peller being wound. up more than the other. This cannot be the fault if a double winder is used, as both’ propellers are turned the same number of rev- olutions. To correct this: tipping and . SWerving sideways it 1s only necessary to increase the angle of the main plane on the side that the model tips over, or swerves. This Is done by bend- ing the rear corner of the low wing down and bending the rear corner of the opposite wing up- , Ward a bit. This corresponds to warping the planes In a large machine. Adjust rudder to turn machine to the other side. ‘ * Cananennccccnnesecacnnccs.

This fish, the moray, has not thel slightest fear of human beings. With! bait tied to a piece of string members’ of the Iowa party led the moray on and on across the beach, all crowding about the fish to watch the experiment. The morry followed as far as a hun- cred feet or more from the water, wriggling across the rock and. finally being permitted to capture the crab used as bait. Then the fish turned quickly and, by following: the slope of the shore soon found its way back to’ the water. It is a common sight where the mo- ray are plentiful to find them chasing crabs and other food up the crevices in the rocks, leaving the water with- out the sligktest fear. The moray is an extremely voracious fish’ with big mouth and long, pointed teeth, and when its jaw once closes on its victim the catch is sure. How “Antiques” Are Made. In London and Manchester a small army of men are employed in making old furniture, supposed to have lain for centuries in ancestral halls. They will make a chest or settee certified to have been in use in Queen Elizabeth’s spacious days, “genuine” Sheraton, Chippendaje and Heppelwhite, and dainty pleces of Louis Quinze or Seize, all with irreproachable histories, and indistinguishable from the real an- tique furniture. America is very strong in these forgeries, and gayly produces on the spot furniture which looks as if it had been ancient when the May- flower sailed. How Earthquakes Radiate. The curious manner in which earth- quakes radiate from the central point of greatest disturbance until the shocks gradually lose their intensity is a phenomenon of much _ interest. Sometimes tuking the form of a huge spider, or often spreading out in irreg- ular directions the vibrations have been known to whisk their way through the earth’s crust at the remarkable speed of two miles a second, so that the shocks seemed to take place in adja- cent towns at the same moment, How France Is Rebuilding. Villages in the vicinity of St, Quen- ,tin, France, are literally rising, Phoenixlike, from their own ashes, Confronted’ by a lack of stone and building materials, the artisans have established a big grinding machine tn which the debris of the shell-shattered houses is remade into mortar. How Falling Snow Sunk Houseboat. Snow falling upon the roof and deck of a houseboat in the Willamette riv- er, near Salem, Ore., grew to such a weight that the boat sank and the two families living in the craft barely es- caped with their lives.
