THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) : > SOLUTION PLAIN It is time to cease gunning for goats and get down to some substantial plan to bring the necessary money into North Dakota without which, the state is going to be seriously handi- capped. Political head hunting may be exciting! and stimulating for the: politicians of the var- fous factions, bit it brings the state no nearer; the solution of its economic ills. | A major operation must be submitted to with-/ in the next sixty days. It is the chief function and the solemn duty of the legislature to fpply the remedy. Put aside political acrimony and display morq statesmanship in behalf of the welfare of North Dakota. Everyone who is not a blind or stupid zealot knows that prompt remedial steps must be tak- en to revamp the entire fiscal policy of the state. Panaceas and nostrums have been tried and they have failed. There is but one way—the straight and narrow path of sound finance. The state needs money to develop its resources and to finance the people through to another crop. Its credit is not impaired only in so far as the practice of unsound business policies has made capital reluctant to invest ih North Dakota always regarded in, the past as the safest com- monwealth in the Union. Peoplg who have mon- ey to loan dislike the present financial policies of the state. Their. feeling is not political at all. ‘They don’t care “two whoops’ about our industrial democracy or plans. .They insist, however, that the security for their money is flawless accompanicd by an iron clad guaranty that’ all obligations will be met promptly when due. They don’t want their money tied up in a ' political deadlock. Ff Demands of the investors are most reasonable and should'be provided promptly by 'the legisla- ture. Neglect to do so will mean that capital will flow where greater security is ‘afforded. This is so elemental in business transactions, ‘that thete ‘should be absolute unanimity among both political factions upon a program to give all the security necessary to get money that will release funds of counties and other political sub- divisions tied‘ up in farm loans, farm. credits, and advances: to state industries. Pay Day cannot always be delayed. Settlement is inevitable. - ‘Recently South Dakota floated seven millions of real estate bonds isaued by the rural credit commission of the state. North Dakota’s efforts have been unsuccessful because the foundation of our fiscal policies is not sound and investors will not buy until certain steps are taken. ° North Dakota can get ten, fifteen and even twenty millions:or more to finance the farmers and others in North Dakota, but the paper of- fered must pass iiuster and the state must put its house in order. ‘ The State is a great corporation—its people are stockholders and the representatives of the. people in legislative, executive and judicial positions are only trustees or directors. As long as the contention and strife continue and North Dakota refuses to afford the security demanded in-every, woney..market in the world, there. will be. no credit extended. There is absolutely no politics about it either. The recent; political campaign aired the causes which Jed-up to present conditions in North Da- kota. ‘It-is not the policy of the Tribune to reit: erate that Ancient story, but to urge upon every- one. interested in the state to get together at once upon a constructive program. The fact remains régardless of what is to blame, that North Da- kota’s paper is not selling as it should and that the volume of money always needed in tliis state has been’ withdrawn almost to the vanishing point. Political nostrums will not bring! it back —this state is no exception to the general credit rules and these cannot be ignored if the state and its people are to continue to do business. , Surely it is evident to leaguer and independent alike that the people of this state are not paying their taxes promptly. Recent tax sales had few or no buyers. The 1920 taxes are coming and promise to come in very slowly. These facts are food for study on the part of legislators and must bring home to them the necessity for’ prac, ticing retrenchment in appropriations. Aside from forming a new fiscal policy, it is the second plank of, importance in the program of recon- struction to face the financial exigencies that confront us all. ‘This emergency calls for tax levies that. will distribute the load more fairly and not penalize those who are working to buila up the state. . Enforcement of strict economy in state affairs is the big issue before the legisla: ture. ‘ There is a common ground upon which every- one can meet who has the welfare of the state at heart. The legislature can point the way—the greatest service the members can give the state in this crisis. Will they rise above politics and propaganda to'meet the great obkigation? GETTING FAR AFIELD | When Attorney Francis Murphy was seeking in a logical way to develop the solyency or insol- vency of the Bank of North Dakota by compe- tent testimony, there was injected into the house lot of hearsay evidence, age worn and Tt would seem better tactics to let those hired to make the investigation proceed to get the facts out of the accountants and the executive/ officials of the state, rather than wasting days with the examination of a political henchman. All the time spent in’ pumping chestnuts into the record will confuse the issues and discredit the investigation. ‘ : | Again, let us have ‘the facts—less propaganda and more substance. i I | THE RIGHT SPIRIT In his letter of invitation to the Lincoln! Day celebration Theodore Nelson, secretary of} the Independent Voters association, has voiced the right spirit. We quote dusparts).)° + by “1¢ is our thought that we should try to em- phasize love of country, patriotism and apprecia- tion of stability in government.” ' That was the spirit of ‘Lincoln’s teaching and, there is a great need now for the practice of Lin- coln’s ideals in government. He was absolute in war but tolerant in peace: He was stern in defense of a nation’s ideals, but modeyate in re- construction plans. The nation and North Dakota need to draw fresh inspiration from the life and works of Honest Abe. -_ - THE NAME OF A COW As has been pointed out so often, there’s noth- ing, absolutely nothing in a name. Still, the fact remains, nevertheless, that the only cow with a 37,381-pound milk record is Segis Pietertje Prospect. This queen of cows has just finished a year of milk-giving that beats all milk-producing efforts made by any cow, anywhere, any'time. » “Bossy,” as you may recall from your boyhood days, was content to:call it a good year when she producéd me three or four thousand pounds of milk. There still are cows like her, The, good dairyman, though, is going in for classier names. There must be something, then, in a name when it is connected with a cow, for when one looks over the family tree of this champion milk producer one notes that her mother was Beauty Pieterje Clothilde, who merited the name by delivering butter at the rate of 27 pounds the week, Her father’ was ‘King Segis Tenth, and} ‘other ancestors were Johanna Rue 3rd’g.Lad, Jo- lianna Vernon De Kol, Dutchland Governor Sir Colantha, and others equally prominent in the dairy. world, where, by the way, cattle breeding is given larger credit for the steadily increasing milk production of the nation than is the naming of the cows.” You could give a scrub cow the classiest sort; of a name and she wouldn’t earn her salt; while on the other hand Segis Pietertje Prospect would yield as much milk if you called her No. 1, which, by the way, is what she is in the dairy Who's Who.

RRR ee {With the Movies |, ——_——_* ¥ BISMARCK THEATRE, Kidnaped from her home at mid-| night by the man she had laughed at,! she found herself borne away into! the woods and held a prisoner. And Federal: rural credit, as, contemplated in the Kenyon bill in the United States Senate, is great- ly needed in this country. Any feasible method ‘of supply ing long time loans to farmers on the security of their crops and live stock deserves serious and sympathetic: consideration. Such loans, if made possible by a new government bank system of banks, on the same general plan as the Federal farm Jand loan sytem, world serve to stabilize conditions cf the farming industry by saving. farmers from being obliged to market their crops all at the same time regardless of the demand. Prosperity, of the farming. element would be increased, the uncertainty of harvest yields would be robbcd of much of its terror, be-| cause losses might be spread over a number of} years and balanced against’ bumper crops in; otlier years. 5 | Under normal financial conditions, such a rur-! al credits system (disregarding the details of the Kenyon bill, some of which may be defective) would be beneficial without coming into conflict with any private interest, as the field is practical- ly unoccupied. Too great hopes, however, should not be built on any system of rural credits based.on a work- ing capital derived from the sale of bonds. There must be a favorable market for such bonds. When there is no such. market the' rural credit device would be in a state of suspended animation for lack of funds to lend, as is now the case with the Federal land banks.—Pioneer Press. | At first she hated him for it, and) | then—you will learn what happened | when you see Bert Lytell in the new) Metro picturization of the well-known | | stage play, “The Misleading Lady.”’| that is now playing at the Bismarck | ; theatre.

BABY’S HEALTH |, Uncle Sam, M. D., Tells Moth- ers of Little Ones What to Do. Teething. Q.. My baby is three months old. Until about two weeks ago I have not had any trowble with him but now he is so restless and does not sleep as much as he should. His gums seem to be troubling him and 1 believe he is teething, His bowels, too, are not right. a. While it is not at all uncommon for the first teeth to appear in the; fourth month, the majority of children | do not begin teething. until about the sixth or seventh month, and some be- gin much later. Restlessness and disturbed sleep in infancy are most frequently due to huager or to indigestion from improp- | er feeding or overfeeding. Feed him regularly every three | hours, and do not let him nurse long- er than 15 or 20 minutes. ‘oe 8 ' « Holding-Breath Spelis. Q. My 14-months-old baby loses her breath and we can’t do anything with her at all to ibreak her from the habit, She sucks both of her thumbs and fore fingers. y A. (The holding-breath. spells you describe are due to an extreme irri- tability of the nervous system. It is very common in winter, and early spring. . ‘Nervous children of this type should be kept free from excitement, given plenty of sleep and fresh air and fed very carefully. ¥ ‘Late Teething, Q.. My little girl, 9 1-2 months, has no teeth, neither any sign. Is there something lacking in her food? She drinks three pints of milk a day, also eats at the table with us, two meals a day, she eats anything, although 1 never,give her any fried food, except eggs, and no meat. A, Late teething may sometimes be| ascribed to conditons arising from a faulty diet, but in many healthy bavies no teeth appear month. ih + 8 8 Weight.

You'll never know how quickly a bad cough can be conquered. until you try this famous old home-made remedy. Anyone who has coughed all day and all night, will ‘say that che immediate relief given is almost like magic. It takes but a moment to prepare, ‘and really there is nothing better for coughs, Into a pint bottle, put 2% ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar ayrup to make a fyJl pint. Or you.can. use clarified molagses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, the full pint saves about, two- thirds of the money usually spent, for cough preparations, and gives you a more positive, effective remedy. It keeps er- iectly, and tastes pleasant—children ike it. You can feel this take hold instantly, soothing and healing the membreses in all the air passages. It promptly loosens @ dry, tight cough, and soon you will notice the phlegm thin out and then disappear altogether. A day’s use will usually break up an ordinary throat or jehest gold, and it is also splendid for bronchitis, eroup, hoarseness, and bron- chial asthma. Pirex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, the most reliable remedy for throat and chest ailments. To avoid disappointment. ask, your druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex” with directions, jand . don’t accept anything else. Guaranteed to five absolute antis- faction or money refunded.

The average girl baby weighs a little. more than 19 pounds at nine months of age, but since your baby was smaller than the average at birth she may require a little more time to reach this standard. * * Hours of Sleeping. My baby, 91-2 months ‘old, sleeps until 10 or 11 o'clock in the forenoon and takes a two or three-hour nap in tne afternoon, and then is awake until 10:30 or 11 at night, Then she wakes up every 2 1-2 hours to eat until about 4 o'clock, then she sleeps soundly until 10 in the forenoon. A, Your baby’s very inconvenient hours of’sleeping are due to improper methods;of feeding. A nine-months-old baby should not ve fed oftener than once in four hours. Begin her feeding at 6 A. M., giving her the orange juice at 9 A. M. Her other regular feedings will be at 10 A.(M, 2, 6 and 10 P.M. She will ng: require any feedig between 10 P. M. and 6 A. M;, and after this schedule is fully established, your own rest at night will not be disturbed. es = | Remarkable Remarks | ~~ O “In recent. years we have devised tests for measuring human intelli- gence, but we find alarmingly little intelligence to measuré.”—Dr. Wil- liam L.
