E. Fagg served as a private with the Princess Pats during the war. He won fame in a famous regiment. But the end of the war put a period to his soldiering career. Instead of drifting back to a city job he turned toward the western plains. Editor The Canadian government staked him to a farm} and machinery. Private—no Farmer—Fagg built a homesteader’s home, and gave his government his note for the farm investment. Then Canada temporarily lost track of ex-Pri- vate Fagg. | Does one really want tévhear the truth at all, \ But the day of harvest surely comes~round. The government in Ottawa heard from ex-Private Fagg. ; “I. put in 110 acres of wheat last spring,” he wrote. “I take out 3,300 bushels this fall. I can pay for my land and all the improvements out of | this one’ crop.” Fine for ex-Private Fagg! But he continues: “IT can’t understand why any young fellow! should slave away his life in a city for a bare liv- ing when he can find a. home and independence on a farm.” Farmer Fagg isn’t the only one who cannot un- derstand that. Some people think it is the movie, the “modern conveniences,” the attractions of the city. But they’re wrong. Most often it is that the “young fellow” hasn’t the necessary grit to| go out on the land. Often he’s afraid of work and afraid of tackling something different. It takes | more courage to be a hero on a homesteader’s acres than when standing elbow-near to others of the Princess Pats or any other regiment. t ee ees Parents who tell their children that Santa Claus will forget them if they’re naughty are taking an unfair advantage. THE THIMBLE ; Thomas Hood might never have written the “Song of the Shirt” had it not been for a certain John Lofting of Engiand. For Lofting was the inventor of the thimble, which plays no little part in Hood’s lines. And the women of the world owe no little debt of gratitude to this man who light- ened the labor of hand-needle-work. \ , It seems peculiar that such a simple thing as a thimble needed tobe invented. One might almost suppose it had always been right there for the needle woman to pick up when she was ready to ply her needle, but not so. : It was not much over 200 years ago when Lon- don saw the first thimble. Lofting, its inventor, was by trade a metal worker. He “stumbled” upon the idea of a metal piece to be placed on the thumb to aid the sewer to push the needle carry- ing the thread through the cloth. And he called it a.‘thumb bell.” ”Thumb” because it was to be wor onthe thumb. “Bell” because of. its shape. In time the thumb bell slipped off of the thumb and onto other fingers. And time finally softened the name into that of thimble as it is known today. the thimble founded the fortune of the very rich Having tried the telephone and mail, one is tempted to, get a message through by heliograph. INVENT SOMETHING There is need for someone to invent—a scheme to prevent strikes or lockouts, or vacations, or whatever it is that prevents employer and employe from getting together and keeping together with the utmost good-will on both sides. Now, in New York state alone in 1920, strikes eost 10,448,483 days of work. Just think what ‘_. good and how much could have been accomplished ~~in that time! Controversial merits are not to be taken into consideration here—just the bare facts. How much money the workers could have earned, had these industrial disputes not have existed? How much in finished products could Have been turned out; how much in profits might have been piled up had things been going as happy as mar- riage bells? Yet there were 240 industrial disputes in New York in the year with 344,000 persons directly involved, with the main causes of trouble due to matters of increased wages, shorter hours and. trade unionism. The result of these differences so far as settled when the report of the state bureau ‘was made was that 74 strikes were successfil, 73 partly so and 98 lost. The department report is to the effect that the plan of compulsory arbitration” is not satis- factory. All right. The men who will invent something that is satisfactory to both sides in settling all controversy between the employed and the employing groups will have won for them- gelves special niches in the Hall of Fame. | ‘ BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUN 4 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1920 THE TRUTH-TELLER Imagine an earnest man who starts out of a snerning with the resolve to tell nothing but the truth all day. He has heard it said that what, people want is the truth and he has determined, therefore, that he, for one, will be truthful. He is a bit late to work that morning and when the boss “calls” him, he makes none of the stock excuses which have done good service on such: occasions. “To tell the truth, sir,” he says, “I felt lazy this morning and lay in bed for a half hour after the alarm clock woke me. I hated to come to work to- “If that’s the way you feel about your job, | you’re welcome to look for another one.” Then the truth-teller’s wife calls up. “Are you busy, dear?” she inquires. Hitherto he has always listened patiently when i she called up, busy though he was. But now, as a truthful man, he says: “Of ‘course, I’m busy! I don’t see why you always call me up at this time of the day—my busiest time. | I wish—” But she has rung off, angrily. The same evening the resolute fellow calls on 1a friend at whose home a new baby has arrived | recently. | . “Some kid, eh?” asks the friend. | “Well, it’s just as snub-nosed, red-faced and homely as any other new-born baby,” replies the truthful man, making the remainder of the even- ing unpleasant for, himself: apd-all concerned. times? : | Just when it looked like a lively winter on the first page, they began to talk about peace in Ire- land. Senate bill in Manila provides that natives must wear trousers. This proves the Filipinos are pant- | ing for independence. EDITORIAL REVIEW | Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are Presented here in order that our readers may have both gides of important issues which are being dis- | cussed in the press of the day. i SALE OF BONDS \ : Regarding the sale of state bonds, The Forum does not believe it is possible to reach an in- telligent decision until there is-a clearer under- standing of the facts. An investigation of the various state industrial enterprises is now in pro- gress. Until we know something about them from, an unprejudiced and reliable source, it is impossible to formulate any definite policy toward them. The Forum firmly believes that the actual construction work on the terminal mill and eleva- ‘tor should be completed. The money already ex- pended would be a total loss if this were not done. ; “Salvage and not sabotage,” is needed there. The Forum does not question the vital import- ance and necessity of financing our state insti- tutions and state government. That is a funda- mental of government. We must take care of the insane, the prisoners, the feeble minded, and; pay the salaries and expenses of our state of- ficers. Those items of expense cannot be side- stepped on any pretext. But The Forum does of bonds is the best way to finance either or both of thesé expenditures. And until the reports of the auditing board are available no decision is necessary. Perhaps:the sale of these bonds is) necessary and desirable. Perhaps it is not. On the other hand The Forum certainly has not changed its views one particle in regard to the utter futility of a state flour mill as a solution of our marketing problem or as a means of reduc- ing the cost of living. Nor has it changed its views as to the financial folly or economic unfair- ness of state operated enterprises. Nor has it changed its views one particle in regard to the Bank of North Dakota. Rather, they have been strengthened and confirmed. In a little more than’ a year and & half after’ the opening of the bank, we find it stated that the partial liquidation of the bank’s affairs will in- volve the'sale of some $6,000,000 of state bonds if money to take care of the needs of our state in- dustrial enterprises and our state government and institutions is to be available. We have tried to review the situation fairly and dispassionately. Certainly we welcome any attempt at a better understanding between the two factions in North Dakota politics. The bank- ers’ conference was the first time in four years that the two parties have placed their feet under} the same table and attempted to talk matters) over for the purpose of arriving at an under- standing. The man who would put a chip on; the shoulder of either anc dare the other to knock | it off would be nothing shovt of a criminal. It is| ino time for either side to attempt to make political] capital or to indulges in intolerance. This banking flurry is merely the the first of a series of prob-' lems we will have to face here in North Dakota} in the next six months. and it is by no means the hardest. The completion of the state mill for ex- ample, sn’t ‘the end of that problem. It is just! the beginning. It must be operated on a ‘paying basis before that problem can be considered solved. Each of these issues must be met as it arises, discussed on its merits, and settled right. That is; not possible unless there is a feeling of mutual respect and tolerance, and the bankers appear to} have opened the way for the promotion of such ‘feeling. Every loyal citizen of the state should do day and attend to this hateful old job.” | not feel prepared to say whether or not the sale}, CAPPING THE WELL CZECHO-SLOVAKIA PLANS TO COMPETE WITH SEACOAST STATES GARRISON MAN.
