Movies are the cause, they as- sert. There are no dull chapters in movies.‘ There is action every minute! Continuity! Dash! They make ’em snappy! But, oh, the sustained thrill of the good old’ book of fiction that wasn’t laid down till the word “Finis” was reached. Meals were missed while one lingered long at the death-bed of little Eva and, then, when that: ghapter was finished, one would read it over again to get the full thrill of it. “Let me finish this chapter,” Johnny, commun- ing with “Hucklebery Finn” would plead when his mother reminded him it was time to go to bed. But today when the same Johnny’s son is‘asked if he every read “Huckleberry Finn,” he replies: “No, but I saw it in the movies!” The superiority of some great men'is merely local. They are great, because their associates are little—Johnson. TREE REPAIR‘ Many persons are familiar with repair work. They have heard that houses are repaired; and furniture. Bodies are repaired, as are railroads and laws. Yes, such repairing is well known. But another job of repair work is gaining popular at- tention. It is the repairing of trees. . Trees shouldbe repaired, asserts the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, immediately after in- jury. A storm comes and blows down a limb, leav- ing an ugly, sometimes a killing, gash. Repair it: Be a surgeon to the trees in your yard, advises the department. Not difficult to do, it is argued, and will save many trees for summer shade and autumn fruits. The Department of Agriculture will send you a bulletin telling how to be surgeon to your own trees. Write to the department ask- ing for Farmers’ Bulletin 1178 on tree surgery. French savant says criminals can be caught by’, consulting the dead. Throw a trance to catch a transom thief is his theory. POLITENESS IN MEN Old folks sigh for the polite men of yester- year. “They were gallants, it seems—Chester- fields of manner from whom the rude. fellows of our day: could learn a lot, as we have been told. Their chivalry was perfect and, according to re- Port, never did one of ‘these old-timers permit himself to sit when in a crowd so long as there! was one woman standing. c But it is time to reveal certain facts, in the glaring light of which the average, everyday modern fellow, concealed behind his newspaper on a crowded street car, appears, by comparison, a knight of chivalry. The manners of the old-timers—his contempor-| aries—are exposed by no less an authority than Charles Lamb, celebrateg English essayist, who | !

After every great human struggle, the spirit asserts itself. Through- out the war, spiritual values counted for more than shot and shell. When peace came, people their new freedom from the conflict. Now how- ever, the reaction*from the hard egotism of ma- terial competition, intensified by war hatreds, has begun. The Sunday observance movement is the result. ‘ of blue laws, the agitation will fail. But, if en- lightened-and inspired leaders feel their way: care- fully, they will win. It-would be a national calam- ity if American Sundays became no more: than! periods of recuperation for an intensified ‘struggle | for gold in the week to come. Civilizations con- ‘trolled by like purposes have always fallen and bread alone. ? Compulsory church attendance and obligatory, religious observances. are not needed to enforce a spiritual respect for. Sunday. ; They would have the opposite effect:, But, Sunday should be more than a holiday. It can be made to rest the body | and yet give an ever needful reminder that the | body is not all. * i Man craves an appeal to the spiritual. The; world is ripe for a new statement of old. spiritual | problems, with modern answers. Nothing inter- ests a group of intelligent persons more than a dis-! cussion of spirit. Pexhaps, therefore, the present low esteem of Sunday is not due to the. laymen at all.. Perhaps reform should start within the} churches. The, pulpit appeals may be at fault.| They may.carry the wrong messages. The priest- craft, whose responsibilities are so, great, must examine within,as well as without. Let the right solution be found and America will respond. "The Anglo-Erin disturbance continues on its torchuous way. : re att er hee eR é Paris savant has found that a kiss weighs two milligrams.

He may hold on to a seat in a street car, but he doesn’t jeer at the woman standing in the aisle, as did his ancestors in the theater.

Several cities, where the number of automobile; accidents is becoming alarming, are conducting ‘What's Your Hurry” campagns in an effort to teach the public, pedestrians as well as drivers of automobiles, to exercise care when on the public, streets. It is hurry that causes most of the accidents and the number of deaths by automobiles in this country is very large and is increasing year by year with the multiplication of motor vehicles and the flocking of the people to the cities. A.man will rush across a street, dart in front * ofa moving street car or automobile and dash on- ~ to the sidewalk. He has saved perhaps 10-sec- onds of time. Automobile drivers are generally blamed for the accidents that happen. But they are not al- Comments reproduced in this column may or jay not express the opinion of The Tribune.

ENTITLED TO KNOW There are now ten accountants at work exam- ining the Bank of North Dakota and it is estimat- ed it will take them from twelve to fifteen days to, complete the work. Whatever the examination brings forth it is what the people are asking for and have a right to demand. If the institution is found in good shape and properly: administered well and good, it will be a good thing for ‘the state and satisfactory to all concerned. If the bank,is not in a satisfactory condition it is time to know about it right now that, the incoming legislature may have a chance to remédy the defects. The people of the state have gone far enough ‘on al blind trail and are entiiled to know just exactly what this big institution has been doisg with the people’s money since it has been in operation. The report of these examiners will be unbiased and of expert character and they will make a true and correct report hewing to the line and “letting the chips fall‘where they may.” We want no white wash and we want no political fault finding. We want an honest and above board audit of that bank and with those now doing the investigation —purely non-interested parties from outside the state—there shouldbe no complaint to make at the work they. do, “Let us hope that they find Times-Record.

Then he told the scholars how kind they should be to the new pupil and help him ail they could. Immediately Coby Coon gave him a new pencil, and Ben Bunny, Jr., handed out a nice new blotter. “Where would you like to asked Scribble.

D., Dec. 9.—South Dako- ta’s “blue laws” should either be re- pealed or amended so that they may be enforced, according to a recom’ mendation prepared by Attorney Gen- eral Byron S. Payne for presentation to the January session of the state leg- islature. The recommendation states speci- fically that baseball games, moving pictures, public dances, etc. on the, Sabbath, be given a legal standing or that proper legislation .be enacted to allow the enforcement of the law prohibiting them. In anticipation ‘of. possible definite action whch would tend to cause ad- verse developments to their business- es. “Sunday” observance fordes are lining up for the impending legisla- tive battle. There was passed in the South Da- set of laws that put the state pr tically on a strict,,“blue, law” ba However, proponents of public amuse ments such as baseball, moving pic- tures and dancing were quick to pick a flaw in the, acts tended to abolish such amusements on Sunday and soon thev Were operating on their former scale. Few test cases were taken to wie courts, after it.was found that prosecution might be dscaped through a mere technicality. Now, the attorney general desires to have the situation “cleared up” aud the status of the, Stinday public amusement plan definitely \establish- ed. Start Courses: For Persons Who Fall Down on Jobs Luluth, Minn., Dec.,'9.—Aid for per- sons in this section whose capacity for earning a living has been destroy- ed or impaired will be given by the division of re-education which has opened offices in Duluth. ‘Oscar Mi Sullivan, director of re- education, and! iM.

Mr. Morse ivill devote considerable time to Duluth and, the iron range towns where it is understood there are more than 30v persons who would ‘be benefitted by the aid of this de- partment, which is ‘being handled through the state board of education.

Men’s troubles are bad enough, but wé6men’s are worse. Worry makes women sick. ; It pulls them down, and in their weakened condition they are sub- ject to pains, aches, weakness, back- aches, headaches and dizzy spells. », Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. ind that neglect does not pay. A little more atten- tion to health would brightg up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce» Favorite Prescription benefits a woman’s whole system. It not only cts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to women, but is an 7!J- round tonic that braces the entize body, overcoming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness and a run-down condition.
