This report is a more or less efficient baro- meter of your child’s educational progress, and should be watched carefully. But some parents, kindhearted ones, at that, have the mistaken idea that they encourage prog- ress by pointing out the weak places on the card, taking it for granted that the child should have the “good” marks the card shows. A better method was adopted by a wise father. He saw only the best marks. That is to say, he talked about the good marks, ignoring those be- low “fair.” He dwelt so enthusiastically on the “excellents” that his child came to undersand that he was studying, not to keep from the bottom of the class, but to get nearer the top. Tryiit.on your‘child’s report card next time. DANGER Along the highway appeared a man waving a red flag. “Danger!” he cried. “Don’t go nearer; ex- ploding dynamite in that excavation.” A bomb hurtles a human being into eternity; a wagon load of TNT kills scores. A railroad train is wrecked, and others die. Automobile accidents add thousands to the list of maimed and slain. But all the accidents, all the bombs that have been hurled, kill fewer people than the so-called “open-faced sneezer” is a person health author- ity will vouch for the accuracy of that statement. This ig the season for “open-faced sneezing.” By way of explanation: The “open-faced sneezer.” Everyone who doesn’t cover his face with his handkerchief while sneezing. He. scat- ters disease germs. These germs fill hundreds of thousands of coffins every winter, and result in a large economic loss when translated into days of illness. The open-faced sneezer is more dangerous than the bomb hurler, in that he kills more people. The uncovered sneeze is more dangerous than TNT, for the careless sneezer is always at your elbow. : A BOLSHEVIKI SPLIT Another outbreak against the Bolsheviki has occurred in Russia. It has been suppressed as have all the previous ones. But, despite the suc- cess of the Bolsheviki in stifling uprisings against themselves, anti-Soviet revolts continue. Eventually, the counter-revolution will work its way, if the Russians are allowed to make peace with the world so that they can have time to study the inefficiency of the Soviet system of govern- ment. svn The most determined enemy of the Bolsheviki in Europe was a former Bolsheviki himself. He is President Pilsudski, of Poland. Pilsudski was an associate of Lenine long before the war, when both fought against Czarism. Pilsudski then was a communist and a direct actionist. The bomb was his weapon, as it was Lenin’s. He and Lenin were expelled from Russia in 1905. Pilsudski’s hatred of the czar was even greater than Lenin’s. For, during the war, Pilsudski fought as a general in the Austrian army, against Russia. After peace came, he returned to Poland and repudiated the Soviet revolution which he and Lenin had worked to establish many years before. The responsibilities of his presidential office in Poland sobered him. He broke away from the Lenin influence and is now Lenin’s bit- terest foe. / So will the counter-revolution happen in Rus- sia when the proper time comes. Since the Bol- sheviki seized the Russian government, their major responsibility has been to prevent alien enemies from conquering Russia. That“is why Lenin has been.allowed to continue his ineffective efforts to substitute class government for popular government. é But, let Russia have peace and the conditions confronting Lenin will change. He will then have to repudiate his own doctrines himself, or Pil- sudskis will arise within Russia to repudiate him and bring about the establishment of democratic rule. Norman E. Mack says that “the plain people” are for the Democratic ticket this year. There seem to be mighty few plain people in Maine just now. s YOUR TURN NEXT Cheer up, candidates,,you’ll get some attention some day. j The baseball season can’t last forever.

The Pioneer has repeatedly urged that! Man- dan take a similar step. This city has acres of land suitable for parks to our sister’s city square feet, and if a park system is planned we might as well look forward to the time when the two cities now five miles apart will be virtually united. There is little use for either Bismarck or Mandan to launch on a park system alone, for with all the available land between the two cities, well wooded and ideally located for parks common sense would suggest that the two cities unite forces and build up a park system that is worthy the hame. True the land lies this side of the river, but when the Missouri river bridge is opened we are going to forget that there are two sides of the river, and it will be the natural groves that will make the real parks. i ,, Of course go long as the two cities are run- ning under separate governments there will needs be two sets of park commissioners, and Mandan should not delay ,,action, t will give this city such board which may co-operate with our sister city in building here at the Twin Cities of the Missouri a park system that will be the: best in the state and of a scope sufficient to provide for the 50,000 people we predict’ will be domiciled here within ten years. With a state constructed dam across the Mis- souri which is only a matter of a short time, will be required a system of shore protection that will provide against innundation of the lowlands and make the hundreds of waste acres between the two cities the most beautiful park site in the Northwest. F It is a big idea perhaps, but we have begun to do things on a big scale. A million dollar bridge was dismissed as impossible three or four years, ago, just as a ten million dollar power and dam project will mean.a quarter million of people here in less than twenty years, a market for farm products, mills to turn our wheat into flour and hundreds of industrial plants here to supply the wants of the vast territory to within a radius of two or three hundred miles. : Let’s not be narrow minded as between these two cities, but recognize that the day is not far distant when our interests are identical. In the matter of parks, or a gigantic power plant, or as a ‘| distributing center our interests are identical and on the things we can co-operate on now such as a park system let’s remember that in two years’ time Mandan’s parks will be Bismarck’s so far as all uses are concerned.—Mandan Pioneer, WHERE MAMIE GOT THE PEARLS e | a: . THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE _ . | ‘BY A FARMERS WIFE fH CHAPTER VIII. | | | Ie _ Private vs. State Industry . | | -— T have often wondered what would happen if private enterprises were run, a8 are our state industries at; present. ‘ In practically every instance ymen | have been chosen not for their experi- | ence and efficiency in that line of work but. for the help they will’ be able to give the Townley -regime, in other words for their political pull. Not infrequently a well paying posi-; tion has been created for one of the “faithful few”’— and the farmer and other common people pay the salaries in increased taxes. Under private management when there is 4 pdsition to be filled the ap- plicant is not asked what his. politica are, or who he voted for last election, but “what ‘are yous qualifications? What experience have you had in this line of work and are you capable of filling this position to thé best in- terests of all concerned? This is the manner in which private industry is condifcted and unless our state enterprises are governed in, the same way they will mighty soon come to grief. i /Up to now it has been the present administration’s business (or seemed to be) to make a square peg fit into a round hole. Instead of.making the man fit his job. they have made the job fit the man, with the result that we have such expenses piling up as to make even the bravest of us fear for the future. And a system of ineffigiency in practically every case which would be hard to beat. In the case of the Home Building Association it is being claimed that it has cost the state nearly $100,000 in upkeep and salaries: to build one five roomed bungalow—and as yet I have not seen it reputed. Men with little or no experience iy the lumber business have been placed in control of this huge enter- prise which should have the best talent the state can afford, and as 2 result it is being, claimed practically all the saving made by purchasing such large quantities, is eaten up by over-head charges. Why does not the state purchase ready-cut houses instead of buying each article separately. Then there could be a saving in having every- thing shipped at once.. Ready-cut houses are exactly the same as any other house, the only dif- ference being that all the dimension, millwork, etc., is cut to fit. I believe that a house of larger size could be built for the same price, by ‘using this method, as there would be no waste material, and this would also save considerable’ time in putting up the house. But the building goes mer- rily on and clubs are being formed in nearly every» town of any size. What is lost in building costs will all come out of the state, so why worry about who pays the piper? At one time we thought we would have a state built house. But when John found out he had to form a club, and besides ‘his own obligation he had to assume a part of the others also, he said‘noth- ing doing.” I have a friend, an architect, and carpenter who up till the state began to build homes had made a comfort- able living for his family. I met him on the street not long ago and notic- ing that he looked rather “down in the mouth” I asked “What’s the matter Frank? You look as if you had lost your best friend.” “Well,1’ll tell you” he said, “Since the state has gone into the building game I’have lost out. 1 can’t get men, and when/I do the state gets them away by offering them! more than I can afford to pay. Be- sides this a lot of people who had Sell your cream and poultry | to our agent, or ship direct vd Northern Produce Co., Bis- marck.

I’ve got to live and so I must have the cash, or nearly all of it. Now.I’m not saying it’s not a good thing for the ones who are doing the building. It is. But it’s certainly raising Cain with my business.” “Well, Frank,” I said: “Why don’t you hire out to the state?” “I tried it” . “They won't have me be- cause I’m an I. V. A.” This is America! Not Bolshevist Russia, of which I read in a recent article: “They (the. , Bolshevists elaborately and sumptuously. They have taken up their residences in the former homes of the aristocracy. “Those who refuse to accept their doctrine (Bolshevism) are at first heavily fined and if they remain obdurate they are imprisoned.” I refuse to be a party to depriving my_fellow-brothers of the means of making a living, ,on account of his politics!

CAMPAIGN SON iS OF LONG-AGO Andrew Jackson, In the presidential election of 1828, the big political drawing card of Can- didate Andrew Jackson was his mili- tary record. Many songs were song in that campaign, but Jackson's fol- lowers easily drowned out their rivais | with the following song, celebrating Jackson’s victory over Lord Paken- ham at the Battle of New Orleans: You've heard, 1 s’pose, of New Orleans, It’s famed for youth and beauty; There are girls of every hue, it seems, F¥om snowy white to sooty. Now, Pakenham had made his brags, If he that day was lucky, He'd have the girls and cotton bags In spite of “Old Kentucky”! But— Jackson, he was wide awake, And was not scared at trifles, i For well he knew Kentucky's boys With their death-dealing rifles. The ground was low and mucky; There stood John Bull in martial pomp, And here stood “Old Kentucky”! Jackson, of course, won that battle.

Gary of the United States Steel cor- poration, at a luncheon given in his honor by Capt. Marcel Knecht of the French National commission, accepted an invitation to return here next year with a delegation of American steel men to inspect the steel industry in process of reconstruction. Judge Gary advocated closer co- operation among the iron and steel men to inspect the steel industry in process of reconstruction. Judge Gary advocated closer co-op- eration among! the iron and steel men of the world, but said that the Ameri- vans like the French, were determined |ierence “those unworthy of such an invitation.” ; SALESMAN MUST HAVE THE GOODS GAB DON’T COUNT Chicago, Sept. 25—The “jollying” type of traveling salesmen is a thing of the past. Salesmen who formerly obtained orders on their ability to “kid” the buyer and entertain him with a dinner and drinks now have to deliver on the merit of their goods. According to Leo K. Fischel, Mil- waukee, Wis., secretary of the Ni- tional Association of Men's Apparel clubs, in convention here, the “jolly eling salesman” has lost out through prohibition. : “No longer can the salesman ‘de- pend on selling a_ bill of goods on the strength of a drink,” said Mr. Fischell. Salesmen, according to Mr. Fischell ure becoming sharper because they are compelled to bring out the selling points of their goods. Traveling men, however, he said, are satisfied with prohibition.
