THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1878) E> ‘ YOU ATE IT You’d probably scoff at your grocer if. he told you that you eat more salt than sugar. c But along comes the American Sugar Refining Company with the statement that the average American consumes 108 pounds of sugar and 130 pounds of salt a year. World had sait before it had sugar. “Salary”. comes ftom Latin word for salt. Wages of Ro- man soldiers were called “salt money.” That’s how they got the expression, “Not worth his salt.” : POLAR OIL Edmonton, Canada, is packed with fortune seekers. When the ice goes out in the Far North, late this month, they’ll stampede into the new oil fields. | If any one in Bismarck is thinking of joining them, remember this: No railroads run to the polar oil fields. To build oil pipe-lines would cost hundreds of millions.’ How are they going to get their oil.to market? Transportation, from where things are plentiful to where they are needed, is the greatest problem of business., : ASK ’EM Sing Sing prisoner, fishing through the bars, hooks.a big carp.

A hundred years hence, the student of history, | woman industrial engineer, Miss Frances Barbara studying the tendencies of our times in the old/Hosfeld. files of newspapers, will be interested in a recent item under this head-line: NO MORE AUTOS FOR STUDENTS The item reported the action of the authorities Pennsylvania State College except the School of of a western university who had ordered students Mines, to send their automobiles home. The historian, commenting upon this state of Opportunities and,even a higher classical educa- affairs, probably will write: os “In the year 192] indulgence in luxury-had.come to such a pass as to interfere seriously with the processes of higher education. In one university it became necessary to prohibit the use among) students of motor cars, The America that had pointed with pride to its self-educated men had passed.” ‘ Still it. is not as bad as.that. For every joy- riding student there: are a dozen paddling their own canoes. Gas : BRIDES June is the star month for weddings and at the bottom of their heart all women prefer it. That’s because ancient astrologers proclaimed June as the luckiest month. The tradition has been handed down through 100 generations. If you attend a wedding this month, either as a guest or a fortunate participant, “you stand in the presence of the oldest ceremony in existence, the custom which graduated men from barbarism ‘and started civilization. For men and women had marriage ceremonies: before they had work, barter, weapons, wars, laws‘ or any organized society. In:the lowest forms of life, marriage is a cere- mony. The queen bee, prepared for marriage, soars from her hive. Suitors, following as she mounts higher and higher, one by one grow exhausted and fall dead. Finally only one is'left, by survival of the fittest, and becomes the queen’s mate. The marriage of a girl elephant is nearly always preceded by a battle between suitors, the one with most strength and best tusks winning. Even spiders have their! ceremony after the wedding—when ma eats pa. The marriage of men and women has passed through three’ scoarate and very interesting forms, revealing man’s progress. First. was-‘‘marsiage by capture.” t The cave man and his savage descendants car- Kresge Bldg. | ried off their brides by force, Prehjgtoric man was a good provider and the notion that he did his, | wooing with a club probably is wrong, says Dr.) Elmer S. Riggs, noted paleontologist. But there was rough stuff in ancient elope:' ments. It came from the bride’s irate father. To beat off father-in-law and other pursurers the, bridegroom carried with him a strong-armed pal.! That strong-armed pal is symbolized in “the best | man” at modern weddings. Old shoes and rice, thrown after a departing) married couple, represent traditionally the wrath) of the pursuers who lost out in the race. The honeymoon originally was the period the groom kept his wife in hiding until her pa’s wrath calmed down. . Next came “marriage by purchase,” the groom appeasing his intended father-in-law with gift- bribes. Like the American Indian, who paid for) his wife with buffaloes or ponies. The third step in the evolution “marriage by consent.” It was not until about the year 900 that any bridge got the right to refuse suitors or to select the one she loved. ‘ The wedding ring symbolizes the binding fetter.! It is universally used, African brides wearing it| in their nose. “Wedding” comes from “wed,” old Anglo-Saxon word coined to denote a security or pledge of mar- riage. : of mating was i | i Customs change. Traditions run their course, die out and the day may come when the best man, the wedding ring and the old shoes and rice will! be extinct and forgotten. COOKING Ohio restaprant keepers, meeting at Toledo, propose that a school for restaurant ccoks be established by the National Restaurant Associa- tion. It is needed. A restaurant too often is a place where bad cooking‘ is entirely surrounded by good. For cooking in millions of homes in this country prob- ably. cannot be excelled anywhere in the world. SQUARED UP, So King Peter of Serbia is dying. As a king he made.a:poor start, having been elevated to the throne by the men who murdered his predecessor, Alexander. But he restored himself to the good opinion of history by sharing with hig gallant little army all the hardships of its heroic retreat when.his country was overrun by Austrians. . _ He lived, to see all scores evened: up, and all’ his rapacity of Austria avenged. Not so bad for a minor league king!

Whatever the a¥guments may have been, they were wrong, and not worth remembering. WISE’ WILLIAM The June wedding epidemic is always accom- panied by much advice for brides. and grooms. «The problem of how to be happily married is as old as the institution of marriage, ard has ex- fercised the best minds in all ages. - * William Penn, one of the wisest of men, wrote the best advice on the subject, 250 years ago. He said: ( “Never marry but for love; but see that thou lovest what is lovely. “Between man and wife nothing ought to rule but love. © “As love ought to bring them together, so it is the best way to keep them together.” SPOILED Imagine the thrill that came to Wesley Syco of West Virginia the other day when, at 47, he took his first train ride, his first street car ride and saw his first circus. We sort of envy Wesley Syco. ee ‘Most of us have been living in wonderland so long, we-get no thrills out of it. We lift to our lips a small instrument and speak to a friend miles away. We press a button and flood our homes with light. ‘We journey through the skies or under the seas. But, unmoved, we take all this magic for granted. Like spoiled children with too many-toys! ° Happy Wesley Syco! But marriage goes on forever. It is one of the three greatest events of your life, and probably of first importance because usually you’re uncon- scious of the other two, birth and death. i} “Fifi” Stillman says her husband is worse than a Bolsheyist.
