On Saturday, Nov. 11, 1629, 16 of the bravest Pilgrims, under Captain Myles Standish (there * “Was a Hero for you!), left the Mayflower on a pros- pecting tour on land. Sunday the party rested, but on Monday, Nov. 13, they again disembarked, and this time they took some of the brave women wtih them, carrying them bodily through the breakers, into the shallow water and so on land. The women at once inaugurated a wash day. Since that time, 300 years ago, Monday is the recog- nized wash day of the country. ’ Some of our government employes seem to have the booze ring in their noses. LIGHTNING Lightning is extremely healthy, declares a scientist who has made that his life-time study. He doesn’t mean that it is healthful to the per- son lightning strikes. No, he doesn’t mean that lightning strokes will cure the ill as fakirs cen- turies ago said they would. What he means is this: 7 . “Lightning produces nitric acid, and cleans the whole atmosphere of noxious exhalations.” __- Had there never been a flash of lightning upon this earth in all the years of its existence the air now would be so foul that living would be im- pssible, some scientists say. And, by the way, have you heard that health authority say pie—that pie you like so well—kills more human beings each week than lightning does in a year? , Keep those findings of experts in mind when next a thunder storm seeks to terrify you with its flaghes of fire through the skies. Perhaps there would be more enthusiasm, if the jpeople could select as well as elect. THAT WALL STREET CASH Before the June primary the Townleyized newspapers announced. that Wall Street was pouring millions of dollars into North Dakota.to defeat the Nonpartisan league. Governor Frazier spoke of it from the platform. It was good campaign talk for the men en- gaged in stirring up class hatred. No denying that. Of course, a majority of the people didn’t believe it.. Leaguers themselves didn’t. They knew that the anti-Townley committee had’ a meager organization ‘compared to that of the league, that candidates bought their own gas- oline and paid their own railroad fare, and that practically all the work of the anti-Townley. forces was done by volunteers, many of whom could ill afford to give the time from their work. id (May camoaigt the “Wall Street millions” talk apparéi aitly had “disdppeared. In great glee the Townleyized papers told of a plea sent out by the Joint Campaign committee for contributions from citizens. The league knew what a financial prob- lem the Joint Campaign committee was up against. Where, then, had the Wall street millions gone? Surely not to Mr. Townley! And yet the chief Townley organ on Sunday gave considerable prom- inence to an article written by the correspondent of a newspaper owned by a partner in J. P. Morgan and company. Could this be truae—had Wall street turned to Townley?” Oh no, the Joint Campaign committee needn’t worry. Just turn to another page of the same paper, and read that Wall street is still sending its million to North Dakota. The Joint Campaign committee may rest assured. Mr. Lemke’s paper may quote the paper of a partner in J. P. Morgan and company as favoring Mr. Townley’s fight but it assures us in another arti- cle furnished by the socialist news organization that the millions kre coming. “Hang onto your job” is good advice. LEMKE AND HIS STRAW MEN Setting up straw men and knocking them down seems t be the favorite occupation of Bishop Bill Lemke—with his paper back of him to proclaim him the hero of the hour. After the June primary Lemke announced with great acclaim that he had been appointed special assistant attorney-general by Governor Frazier; that he had evidetice of election frauds and. that a through irfvestigation and doubtless prosecu- tions would result. Dauntless Bill’s deeds were acclaimed in ad- vance, that is, through his own and other news- papers he controls. Soon a great plot was to be uncovered. The good:name of 'the state was to be saved. And what happened? Nothing! The Town- leyized newspapers had cried fraud, and Daunt- less Bill had been proclaimed a hero. And the whole thing was dropped. During the summer the new Sherlock Holmes announced that he was investigating acts of the attorney-general. If one might believe his faith- ful mouthpiece in Fargo, the attorney-general was well on his way to prison. And what happened? Nothing. Yesterday, before the supreme court, Daunt-} less Bill again cried fraud. The three-column and four-column ballot was a minor part of his political speech. Other great plots to steal the election were to be uncovered, this dauntless gen- tleman announced. ; Will they, too, vanish into thin air, after the Townleyized newspapers have fed the flames of hatred and distrust they have created? A late fall prolongeth the golf widows’ lonli- ness. TRACK IN THE DEEP : The “trackless deep” is about to be’¢onquered. Navigators are now making final tests on radio pilot cables which will be laid in New. York har- bor, guiding vessels for over sixteenimiles, out to the high seas. \ adeegea This device has..been stamped as greatest aids to navigation ever devised.” The cable throws out magnetic waves whith can be heard by wireless telephone receiverson'a ship at the surface and within a 500-foot radius. With a large receiving coil, like a four-foot ear, on either side of the vessel, the buzzing of the cable can be distinguished with equal ease in foul weather, fog or on a smiling sea. If the buzz is equally loud in each of the operator’s ears, then he knows the keel is over the cable, and all is well. New York harbor is expected to see far fewer marine accidents than formerly. And the! possi- bility of the discovery does not stop there. Trans- atlantic’ and transpacific cables, marking paths that need not be varied from by a fathom from one shore to the dther, are in prospect. f In a few years the geven seas may be strung with these submarine cablés, and the ships of commerce, instead of clumsy and uncertain fol- lowing of:a,course that must be trued up every hour, will be set upon the path over the cable, the operator will adjust-his ear-pieces, and the vessel will sail as the crow flies. A pretty parley—Cleveland, Carpentier and Man o’ War to win. AN ACCURATE INDEX The statistics of education show that in the year 1890 only 9120 teachers were employed in the high schools,of the United States. Today high school teachers number more than 81,000. The difference between 9120 and 81,000 high school teachers, graphically measures America’s material and spiritual expansion during the past, generation. The figures, are an accurate index of the pros- perity that is lifting more and more families to that state of middle-class. well-being wherein the labor of the child is notirequired for the support of the family. Thesé fizuirés ‘indicate, too, a fast- growing appreciation on the part of parents of the value of education and recalls 'the vanishing type of old fashioned father who liked to say: “What was good enough for me is good enough for my children.” : But above all else, the statistics reflect the dem- ocratic, trend of educational methods and pro- grams in America. ! : It doesn’t take an old man to remember the time when high. schools were regarded largely as institutions for children of the well-toldo. And, indeed, high school courses had restrictive and aristocratic tendencies. Their mission, largely, was to prevare a limited number of boys and girls to pass college entrance examinations. - Today the newest high schools are great work- shops where hand and mind are being trained simultaneously. Their tocls are machines as well as books. The machine shop instructor and the dress-making teacher rank with the teacher of} Greek and Latin. ‘ Small wonder tha number of high school teach- ers has increased 800 per cent in a generation— and still there are not enough cf them. # If you’ve got to use a >ammer, build a house.

The distance frum Henroost Center to Bismarck*is some over thirty miles an’ we madé'it in less than an hour. Arrivin’ at ‘the ‘capitol buildin’ we asked for the library commishun au’ wuz shown down a long hall, an the door pinted out to us. So we went in an‘ asked if thar wuz where the trav-| elin’ librarys were sent out. The lady in charge said, yes but when she learned part o’ our misshun she said we must see the Board 0’ Administra- shun. So we went a little further in- to another room, where a big fat fel- ler an’ a tall thin feller an’ a squinty eyed feller wuz talkin’ together. Pret- ty soon the squinty eyed feller went out an’ the tall thin feller went into another room an’ the big fat feller set down an’ sez to us: “Gentlemen. what can I do fer you?” just as nice as you please. He then asked us to set down whici we did. Jason looked at me, I looked at him, an’ then we both looked at; Rev. Biggers. After a little wait Rev. Biggers cleared his throat an’ begun: “We, my friends an’ myself have come here on a matter o’ vital importance.” At this the big feller looked interesi- ed so Rev. Biggers went on: “We find that books of a highly objectshynable character are bei®’ circulated: thru your school library. In short, we} have brought for your inspe¢shun, these books an’ we would like for you to examine them an’ afterward we should like an explanation o’ this matter.” Well, the fat feller picked up;the bundle o’ books an’ ‘opened it up an’ I could see his hand wuz tremblin’; when he did it, too. ‘After he had seen what they wuz he looked yawful flabbergasted like, an’ didn’t seem to know just what to say, nor how to say it. Finally he got up, and asked to be excused fer a minu}>. After a while he came back an’ the jall thin feller wuz with him an’ an other kind o’ fattish feller, an’ then the fat feller said: “These men are the assistants an’ oversee the packin’ o’ the books.. We have found that a mistake has been made. The books you received were intended for a club up in the northern part o’ the state. They are never sent out excepting ‘by special request.' Having said this the fat man told the others he wuz done with ’em; an’ they could go, which they did. “Well,” said Rev. Biggers, “we thought some mistake had been Have Pains? Aches and pains seem to be the lot of the ordinary mortal. However, thse should be take simply as nature's warning signals that some part of the human machine is out of order.

Editor Tribune: On page two of the Bismarck Trib- une for date of October 14, 1920, there is a news item to the effect that pra- rie chickens are on the increase in North Dakota. My observations ir different parts of Dakota covering a period of twelve years leads me to « very different conclusion. In fact the prairie chickens are on the de¢rease in North Dakota at a rate that should be alarming to all lovers of nature and good sportsmen in general: At- though there may be local increases, I doubt very much that the chickens in the state as aj whole. are on the in crease. In our state at the present time the sharp-ailed grouse (Pediae- cetes phasianellus campestris) is dan- gerously near the point of extinction; and although it may be true that ths prairie hen (tympanuchus american- us), referred to as the square tailed chicken in the Tribune article, out- numbers the former species at this time is due rather to-a rapid decrease of the sh: ailed_grouge than an in- crease oe rah je hen. A$ the taw'now exists prairie chick- ens and sharp-tailed grouse may be killed in’ the ttate of North Dakota from Sept. 16 to Oct. 16, both inclus- ive.. It seems; that with the present rate of decrease, prairie chicken hunting will forever be lost to the hunters of North Dakota, unless ef- fective ‘measures are soon taken for their protection. The sharp-tailed grouse is very soon to follow in the steps of the Carolina Parakeet, the Great Auk, the Labador Duck and the Passenger Pigeon, and ‘this in view of the fact that their economic value to the farmers of this state as enemies of noxious insects and grass- hoppers is of great imporfance. , William Clawson, forest ranger of Oneida county, northerngWisconsin, told me last June while I was in that region studying the animal life and flora, that the partridge or ruffled grouse once almost extinct, is now coming back under year round protec- tion. The same thing, I understand. is the case with the white-tailed deer in our own state, however my ohserv- ations in this direction duting the last few years has not been sutticient /to warrant a.conclusion. The same thing can be done with the prairie chicken in North Dakota, and it can be brought back in increased numbers if proper measures are taken and if it is not already. too late, for although we have not the advantage of the pro- tection afforded by timber, and the increase would be slower than that of the ruffled grouse in the timbered ‘regions of Wisconsin, yet it would ‘go a long way in perpetuating the prairie chickens: in this state, which as our inhertance is also our duty to pass on as a legacy to our posterity.

If I ate anything like pork or cabbage I would have miserable feeling that sometimes last- ed until the following day, “My kidneys. were badly out of or- der and I had pains in my back that hurt like a knife had been stuck in me. I had such cramps and catches in the muscles of my back that when I stooped Over I couldn't straighten up again without being in agony. I suffered tortures from rheumatic pains in my lower limbs and some- times my feet were so swollen that I couldn’t wear my shoes. “T tried one thing after another, but nothing did me any good until I began taking Tanlac. Since I started on this medicine my indigestion has entirely left me and I can eat anything I want, even pork and cabbage, without hav- ing any disagreeable results after- wards. Tanlac has also put my kid- neys in good shape and I don’t have those severe pains in the small of my back any more. The rheumatism has quit troubling me and the swelling has all gone out of my feet. I cannot praise Tanlac too highly for the good it has done me.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Barrett, in Wing by H. P.

Baruch, former head of the War Industries bodrd, wealthy Wall Street’ financier. and friend of President Wilson, have been kidding him about getting in bad with the Departments of Agriculture and Jus-\ tice, by shooting and shipping wild ducks from South Carolina.. Of course, Barney ,didn't know it was unlawful. Barney wouldn't delib- erately violate the law. In fact, after he had shipped them, a friend of Ed Meredith called up Baruch and told him he had violated the law. “Well, what are we going to do about it” Baruch asked. Meredith sought to quash the case, and Baruch and all his influential friends thought it was quashed. But the next thing Baruch heard about it, the ‘cage had been reported The world is brighter than before—, .j.formally to thé ‘Agricultural Depart- iment, Solicitd#/ Williams had sent it to the Justice Department and that department had certified it to the dis- trict attorney in New York with in- structions to file charges against one Bernard M. Baruch. . Then Palmer heard about it and took} the case into hig own hands. He ‘sent, it: back ‘to. the ‘Agricultural Department ‘and since then several conferences have been held in regard to it. . : Of course, nobody wants to see Barney jailed for his mistake. But the man in the street is wondering why Baruch court, like other: violators of the law, instead of déiMng with the heads of lepartments.._ John Jones, laborer, Might be ignorant of the law and kill a duck. He couldn't get a confer- ence with Meredith or Palmer. John would have to face a jury and hear it repeated over and over again, “gen- tlemen of the jury, ignorance of the law is not a legal defense.” Why not Baruch. The Baruch case recalls another in which William Jennings Bryan was arrested in Virginia for hunt- ing without a license. a season for a stranger to hunt in that state, and Bryan, a rank out- sider, hadn’t even applied for a li- cense. = A precinct -@nstable nabbed the secretary, hauled him into a justice court-and Bryan paid the fine. Bryan said hg thought this was a free coun- try, but the great commoner paid, just like John Jones would have to. He didn’t even take the matter up with the governor. GOOD ADVICE TO A DYSPEPTIC Give the Stomach Help to Digest Food and to Offset the Tendency to Acidity. Use Stuart’ pepsia Tablets. The wholesale adv: to starve your way to stomach health is mighty poor judgment. Only the most robust constitution can stand such a strain. If you,’ cannot eat, if what you eat sours, if your indi- ‘gestions follows certain foods that cause heartburn,.sour stomach, or gassiness try Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. And if there is a feeling as if your stomach had turned into concrete these tablets ‘help digest the food and thus bring releif. Many physicians “write “Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as directed” on a prescription blank when patients are distressed with frequent attacks of indigestion. They furnish the alkaline effect to offset acidity of the stomach and also pancreatin to aid intestinal digestion of starchy foods. Get a 60 cent box at any drug store, eat what you enjoy, take a tablet or two after meals and thus avoid the distress. due to indigestion or’ dyspepsia. zs shouldn’t answer in/ ( It costs $10 |
