(Established 1873) oS THE TWIN CITIES OF NORTH DAKOTA Bismarck-Mandan, Mandan-Bismarck — The Twin Cities of the Missouri Slope, destined to be a real metropolis if we keep our vision and realize that the interests of the two cities ‘are identical. What is good for Mandan is good for Bismarck— znd vice versa. There need be no bitter rivalry, nothing but clean cut competition, tempered by neighborliness and good will. The linking of these two cities by the Missouri river traffic bridge will be an epoch in the history of North Dakota. Those who labored in behalf of this worthy project deserve a high niche in the state’s hall of fame. But a bridge can only span the physical gap be- tween the two cities—it will take public spirit and a forward looking enthusiasm to weld the cities into one active earnest agent for the upbuilding of this western empire whose natural resources are second to none in the state. The diversity of the Missouri. Slope’s resources assure a growth and expansiowthat™ nothing but sloth and indiffer- ence can retard. Vast fertile acres are tributary suitable for ag- riculture and stock raising.’ Lignite deposits sec- ond to none lay at our door and their development is but in its experimental stage. The clay soil from which the best brick in the nation is made is capable of even greater development. Experiments in South Dakota indicate that some day the Missouri river can be utilized for power. The vision must include such a prediction, for once these waters are harnessed and with the coal, the clay and other raw material in this section available, it is not difficult to foretell the rest. Vision-push-pluck hooked up with indomitable energy are here in abundance. In a year or so the dream of a bridge over the —|there is need for a closer union of the two cities ;|DOMITABLE ENERGY! Big Muddy will be realized, but in’ the meantime! to that end when the gap is closed we can go for- ward with a well defined plan. A real community of interests exists between Mandan and Bismarck. That must be developed for the day will come when both cities will be'built to the Mandan and Bismarck bridge approaches. ‘ Lets lay the ground work of real community growth now. When conditions become stable and the period of deflation has spent itself, the two cities should have a park—a great playground’ between the Twin Citics of the Slope. There could-be devel- oped the community spirit. /great natural site for a park exists. All we need\is: VISION—PUSH—PLUCK, HITCHED TO IN- Let’s go! COLOR AND CHARACTER Modern psychologists have discovered that one’s preference in color has an intimate relation to his character. Thus if one is assertive and violent, red is very likely his favorite color. Red is an excitant. The red flag as a symbol was not chosen by chance. , With a dash of blué the violence of red is modi- fied. Exeremes are not tolerable in a mixture of red and blue. And with a strip of white the ar- rangement is saner still. White hints of justice and moderation, so much} so that the'plain white flag is the symbol of de: feat and lost hope. Thus the national colors of the United States and France are in an ideal arrangement. The red indicates virility” and courage which is kept within bounds by the justice of white and by that most peaceful of colors, blue. : According to the psychologists one’ can choose his friends by the colors they prefer. Indeed, they say that if one paid more attention to the color preferences of associates, he would be less likely to discover that a friend has proved false. Lovers with color preferences which do not har- mionize are likely to quarrel and separate after marriage. Women, especially, according to the psycholo- gists, should give attention to color. Their ability to charin depends upon it. They can modify their characters by choosing the right combinations. They can rub off the irritating corners of their personality. So declare/ti the psychologists. And their reason- ing seems sound. We all know how misty gray. nights put us in meditative moods and howy; bright red interiors excite us to the point of nervousness Many of our ills and complaints, no doubt, might be remedied somewhat by more satisfactory color harmonies in our lives.

Detroit, Mar. 12.—Were you: count- ed? ‘Were all your relatives and friends counted? If you weren’t--if they weren't you have a personel as well as a pa- triotic interest in this indictment of Uncle Sam as a census-taker, made by R. L, Polk, 71year-old head of the largest d‘rectory publishing company in the world. “The government census taken every 10 years is grossly inaccurate. A better job would be’done if the gov- ernment put the job in ‘the hands of experts.” Polk suggests the Association of North American Djrectory Publishers. “It’s quite possille that within the next 10 years so much discontent with the last census will be voiced,| and suci.a.demand will be made gen- erally for an accurate census, that the government will ask the associa- tion to direct the work,” Polk says. Veterans at Work. Polk knows all about census-taking. ‘From a beginning as a $12-a-week directory canvasser, when he was 20, he has built up a concern which pub- lishes more than 500 directories. Polks puts out directories for 32 of the 68 American cities with more than 100,000 residents. These include New York, Detroit; Cleveland, St. Louis, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Los Angeles, New Orleans, ington. + From as far south ‘as ‘Honolulu; Hawaii,‘to as far north as Alaska, his 4,000 employees are ‘at’ work. The directories’ population totals for cities and states are usually 10 IF CENSUS TAKER MISSED YOU, POLK HAS CAUSE AND CURE Milwaukee and Wash-)|; a better time for this work.” per cent higher than those of the Cen- sus,Bureau, and gre the more accur- ate, Polk asserts. The official census is taken by “green hands,’ enumerators tempor- arily employed, with no alluring prom pects of advancement. The directory census is taken by permanent em- ployes, whose standing depends on the thoroughness of their work. | The official census takers work without c.ose superintendence. The diréctory er¥mgrators are under close supervisio; : Work of the official enumerators is}? accepted as complete, without proof, without checking. Work of the direc- tor ennmerators is double-checked. The census information is taken from one source only, the dwelling. The directory information is taken from the dwelling and the place of em- / ployment. Influence of Weather. The weather may bé a great factor} in the accuracy of the directory cen sus, Polk thinks. ‘The once-every-ten-years official cen- sus is taken in the dead of winter; when enumerators in the northern states are exposed to the rigors of the climate, The publisher says the temp- tation to lixity under these conditions is great. “The directories canvass the north- erm cities in the! summer and the southern cities in the winter,” says Polk. “There is less temptation for an enumerator to save steps by trust-| ing to the corner grocer for his infor- mation.” 4f the census were taken over by ‘the Directory Publishers’ Association, }} ofwhich he is a past president, Polk would advocate that the ennmeration extend over a period of a year, instead of being rushed to completion in afew weeks, as at present. ‘ —: ‘AT THE MOVIES ES. | -_—. ‘his fiancee back in | ceeds to go to the devil in his own and the translation of the girl into a rider plunge down <vQ-feet.
