THE BARBER POLE Slowly the barber pole, “signe of ye shaving! shop,” is disappearing. Before it goes, let’s learn! how it originated. It is an old business—barber- ng. Lzekiel, who wrote one of the prophetical books of the Old Testament, speaks of it, The barber was an institution of note in the days of ancient Greece. He flourished mightily in the’ mddle ages in Europe. Ane he encroached a bit both on the surgeon and the dentist. That caused a strife that did not | end unti lthe French revoluion. Until then the barber “let blood” and drew teeth. From that pracice came his sign, intended to let the public know that the artist could “breathe a vein” as well as shave a beard. The spiral ribbons of the harber pole were use ate the bandages used hefore and after! letting blood. And, years“and years ago, the bali on top of the pole was a copper basin with a gap on one side. That was placed about the customer’s neck while being lathered to save his clothes from being soiled. The basin is extinct, the blood letting over, and barber poles are not so prominent as once they were. But who will say that the barber’s sign doesn’t stick out like a drug store on a wet and stormy night? ’ or to indic If Burleson. is to be disrnissed by letter, they’d better put the blue envelope in the mail now. HANDLE WITH CARE One of the most fragile, and at the same time,| one of the most indestructible pieces of baggage, forming the equipment of a person starting out in life is his' conscience. The average man hates, despises and mistrusts that little bundle of “in- wit” as the Saxons called it, worse than he does the income tax, and for about the same reasons.| He is never free from suspicions of ulterior mo-! tives on its part when he hears the clamor of the! small voice never still, and is prone to accuse it of hypocrisy, deep and shameless, or a guilelessness| that would subject him bootlessly to the kicks and’ buffets of life. | Introspection is the most dangerous weapon a! man can use against his conscience. Something} like looking a your profile in the glass. When it! is intact you see it only in a strained and hazy way. Turn upon it and it is gone. Never drive a bargain with your conscience; it. is more exacting than a Roman god, in this re-! spect, and will be insisting on jots and titles and’ discovering jokers in your contract till the judg-| ment day.. ‘ Above all, never set upon your conscience—re- member the story of the negro fireman in the early forties, who, disliking the sound of steam blowing! £ No wonder so many Irishmen would rather be a' policeman in New York than a constable in Cork.' “EUREKA.

Of these. 50,000 came before courts not adapted to handling | children’s cases. Although every state except one had laws providing for juvenile probation, less than half the courts hearing children’s cases actually had probation service. The majority of the courts failed to make ade- quate investigation of the child’s home and fam- ily circumstances, his physical and mental con- dition, and his personal tendencies. Especially in small towns and rural districts: the child is still subjected to the unsocializd treat- ment which the juvenile court was designed to. replace. However, cerain important tendencies are noted, in juvenile court work.

It is so easy to tear down what another has ‘builded and so hard to build up any thing that has been once destroyed that he should think twice before giving sanction to any new and un- tried forms of ‘government. The condition of Russia at the pres- ent time is a fair example of what we mav expect if we 8ive heed to all the wild agitators that infest our coun- try. It has taken several hundred years and four bloody wars to bring our countpy up to the position she now occupies, that of the geatest and jichest country in the world, and | while we are steadily forging onward. | we should not expect to accomplish 'in one year what should take centur- ies to bring about. The farmer, the business man and the laborer must all work together to form the whole, neither can long exist without the others. Why then. should there be friction and dissat- isfaction among the different classes? All should work in harmony together. Capital should se that Labor receives a fair wage for what it produces and Labor should see that it gives an hon- est day’s work for an honest day’s pay-| The man who witholds any part -| of another’s wage is no better than a theif, and the man who accept money he does not earn is in the same class as the hold-up gentry. If we will only try, to give each other a square deal and see that we receive one in return the year 1921 will go down in our country’s annals as the brightest of its history.

WANT TAX LAW ON SCHOOLS TO BE AMENDED Members of ‘the Jegislature from Stutsman county have been petitioned by 4 number of taxpayers to use their best efforts to obtain’a more evén dis- tribution of school funds, tion follows: “We, the undersigned taxpayers of the Kensal School District, petition you to introduce and use your best efforts to have passed at the next ses- sion of the legislature a bill to more evenly distribute the: taxation for maintaining high schvols in villages or rurgl districts. As it is now, a few ave burdened with heavy taxation, and others receive the same benefit with practically no tax. In districts where high schools are maintained, it costs $1.00 per acre per year, or more, for tax, while in adjoining school districts |the tax on the land is about 40c per year. The high school must educate the pupils of the adjoining districts. “We ask that either the state levy a tax and maintain a fund to defray all expenses of the rural and village high schools and have the state de- cide where such high schools shanld be located, or that the state should be redistricted and the high schools given enough itory to lesson the tax: bur- den for them.” “VACATION?
