Great artists, scientists, inventors, jurists, doctors, deserve the world’s respect and get it. But there is'a fashion in such matters, and in the world today the thing that people strive for most is money, not to supply their needs, but to prove their power. And’so there is:no end to the amount that those who play the game will strug- gle to amass. Now a man can create wealth by attacking Na- ture with..improved, appliances, “making two blades of grass grow’where oné grew before,” or “he can simply take it‘from his fellowmen without “creating anything.**It'makes' a‘ difference which, for the first enriches the world. But a cheap ‘man does not: know the difference. He simply sees the prize and grabs for it. And so he exploits his fellows if he can, and then asks them to re- spect him for doing it. And after awhile they gen- erally do. . And thus the game ‘goes on, class warring against class and nation against nation—all for the cheap satisfaction of saying: “I am the king of the castle. Get down, you dirty rascal.” Jesus said, “I am amongst,you.as one that serveth.” But he had no money. So those who play the game believe that he really made good? Even with his recent defeat, General Wood has it all over General Villa for political safety. PICTURES WITH PUNCH Best sellers are not being --written rapidly enough for the producing companies of the silent || drama. And so the big directors are looking for other ideas. They must be finding them for they tell us that “Deserted At the Altar” will be reeled out in the east soon. = And the chances are that the rising generation, following plenty of sugar and sirup of the best sel- lers in screen drama form, are ready for a little bit of the blood, thunder, punch and pep of the Gee;;wouldn’t you like to see “Across the’ Pa- cific” on the,screen? Or that dime noyel classic, “Deadwood Dick,” with, the rolling western coun- try, the wild Indians and the stage holdups, with the messenger throwing down the express box containing the $500,000 And wouldn’t it be forth while to spend an hour in the home of the silent story with *Wedded, But No Wife,” trip- ping through the camera? Just think of Bertha M. Clay titles, and her “millions of readers of long ago that ar¢ potential patrons of the movie house now! Wouldn’t these titles drag them in! “Wife in Name Only,” “Her Soul at Stake,” “Gladys the Governess,” “The Manor Mystery,” “Who Murdered Lord Ralban?” As a woman has said: “Give the women a good hot mystery, a wild, wild love affair, a drowning in the old mill pond at midnight and you'll catch and hold their interest.” That goes for the men, too. There must be thousands who'd like very much to see the screen version of “Nellie, The Beautiful Cloak Model!” i More baby wars than war babies came out of the World War. . The roots of evil are said to be in bad teeth, so experts ‘have been examining the molars of Sing Sing convicts to learn the cause of their crimes.

On the contrary, it must be set down as a shrewd move, albeit it is a play to the assumption of ignorance. Undoubtedly Roosevelt is a name to conjure with, politically. Yet it suggests two interesting reflections :-The ‘Democrats who are rolling the name over their tongues with loving unction are many of them the same men who, while the Great American was alive, employed those tongues to deprecate and even vilify him. And if that great Ameri- can were now alive, how energetically he would bend his ‘powerful effort to defeat the ticket on which that name appears andthe party which cunningly seeks to reincarnate him in his name- sake!—St. Paul Pioneer Press. SEALING THEIR LIPS. No autocracy in Washington, The notice that follows has been posted in all the bureaus and di- visions of the postoffice department in Washing- ton and elsewhere throughout the United States: The attention of the department has been called to many circulars and letters issued by persons connected with the postal service which contain erroneous statements and are not based on facts. The postal service is con- ducted in the interest of the public, and the public is entitled to correct information at all times regarding this branch of the govern- ment service; and the department will gladly and willingly furnish such information. Em- ployes of the postal service, in making any statement about the postal establishment) or its service, who make false or slanderous ‘statements will, be summarily dismissed from the service. Postmasters and officers of the service will be held responsible for the en- forcement of these instructions. , That is Postmaster General Burleson’s idea of postal efficiency—gag the men. of the service, that they may not dare to talk of the rottenness in the service. Those who do so talk will,be dis- missed summarily—without trial, without hear- ing. Men in the postal service have been talking; beyond any doubt they have talked. Better than the postal employes, no others can know how bad the Burleson administration is and all that Burle- sonism means. Ask the first postal employe you meet, should you know him well enough to have his confidence, and from him you will get a round, unvarnished tale of the inside of things. The postmaster general seems to conceive that if he can gag men in the service, and kick them out sum- marily when they talk of him and his crew of mis- fits, the country will not know how wretchedly it is served.—Ft. Wayne ‘(Ind:): News and Sentinel. EFFICIENCY IN FARMING Secretary Meredith recently was asked to ex- plain some specific instances of the benefits farm- ers are receiving from the department of agricul- ture. Among the many he mentioned of outstand- ing interest is the remunerative ‘utilization of corn cobs which for years were.considered worth- less except for use in kindling fires. Chemists have discovered that at least half a dozen products may be derived from the cobs and plans are being developed by the department to turn this by-product of the farms into a valua- ble commodity. The United States produces near- ly 20,000,000 tons of corn cobs a year. Out of each ton, according to Mr. Meredith, 30 pounds of furfural can be manufactured at a cost of only. 20 cents a pound. Furfural is a basic interme- diary in dyes and has been so rare that it has sold for as much as $20 a pound. On this, basis the value of America’s cob crop, if manufactured into this one chemical, would amount to an enor- mous amount. This is only one proof of the value of the scien- tific investigation and efforts to promote crop im- provement by the department of agriculture. Many more are mentioned in the official’s state- ment. Apparently great opportunities lie ahead of our agricukurists. Efficiency has made man- ufacturing industries much more profitable than they were a decade 4go. The improvement ‘in | that branch of endeavor has been developed thru extensive investigation, Agriculture, our great- est idustry, has not kept up the pace set by manufacturing. In the face of labor problems and the need of greater financial returns the im- portance of efficiency and less wastefulness be- come apparent. The department of agriculture can render a large service in educating the coun- try to utilize more fully its by-products and val- | uable crops,—Cleveland, Plain Dealer. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUN!

The juice is there: and it doesn’t take much pressure to bring it out. As the pressure increases the juice does not increase in proportion—a very hard squeeze produces only a moderate amount of juice. ,and after awhile the juice stops flowing ex- cept for a few stragling trickles. — It’s the same way with raisjng transportation’ rates — freight passenger —railways and traction companies. The first vigorous in- crease in rates squeezes out a con- siderable revenue. ~ But as the ‘rates are sharply in- creased the income is not increased in proportion. In’ fact, a point is soon reached where: there is no in- crease and after that the revenue falls off. The rate becomes “prohibitive.” The passenger—if it be a street car Mr. Charles Grewe Tells How Cuticura Healed Pimples “Thad pimples and itching enough to set one crazy.

BISMARCK “The tussle has been so real that both combatants were too exhaust- ed and groggy to hold still enough for a good photograph.” This is the apology that Jacques Jaccard, director of “Desert Love,” the intense western drama which is coming to the Bismarck theatre to- morrow sent with a set of pictures to the William Fox execution offi- ces in New York. It speaks elo- Auently for the immense realism of Tom Mix’s acting. The fight occurs jn,.and old, de- serted mill.

During sleep, the circulation of blood through the brain is much di- dainished, and the constant stimula- fon’ of the brain cells from without veach otwer 'within, which oc- curs during the waking hours, is sus pended. “During this rest the in- dividual:cells:restore materials which their activities have dissipated and 80 prepare for the work of the next waking period. 1 Sleep is ‘thus absolutely essential rest; zthe nervous system. of the governmen}.,” t contractions of the heart, are least during sleep, and conse- quently more jrest is obtained for the organs involved than at any other time: | More's by ‘practice than by scientific experiment, it has been de- cided that eight hours sleep is the usual_requirement for good health— mgny persons are better off with 10 to!12' hours.’ Persons in good health’and of reg- ular habits rarely have’ difficulty in getting to sleep at night. Sometimes however, one goes to bed and lies there awake and wondering why he cannot sleep. Nervous agitation is 2 common cause, as it prevents the processes, described above, as opera: tive in producing sleep. Unsuitable temperature of room, too much or too little bed clothing are other caus- es, as one to warm or too cold is apt to be wakeful. Indigestion is some- times to blame.
