It is hoped) that many farmers will come to Bismarck next Wednesday morning and join the Bismarck boost- ers on their trip. It is an educational trip for both farmers and city man and it is fitting that the business forces of the county join hands and make. the tour to- gether. The’ business salvation of this section of the state rests largely upon the development of the livestock industry. What the successful. farmers have done inthe vicinity of New Salem can be duplicated in this district. If the Rotary club can get fifty or sixty representative Burleigh county farmers. to’ make the trip, with them, the junket should be profitable to everyone concerned. Again the Rotary club is demonstrating its use- fulness to community huilding. Its efforts in this instance should be backed by the business inter- ests... The tour is not restricted to Rotary mem- bers. Any farmer or. person interested in pro- moting the livestock industry is cordially invited to join the Rotary members. The more the mer- rier. The Rotary is merely promoting the trip so that Burleigh county will be well represented and secure some of the benefits from the tour. LAMOURE COUNTY VENTURE Memorial Park’in LaMoure County is, a com- munity venturé of no mean proportions and shows what ‘can be done in other sections of the state to better living conditions both on the farm and in the ¢ity. This park brings all residents of the county together and should make for the kind of community spirit that has been lacking in the state of late. . A tract of fifty acres was purchased by popular subscription in a beautiful grove through which a river wends its way over a most picturesque route. The county commissioners appropriated about $15,000 for permanent improvements which were laid out by a landscape gardener. This county recreation center has a fine audi- torium, a babeball park and a children’s play- ground with all. the equipment that delights the youngsters, \ LaMoure county has planned well in providing a. park for all its residents, the city dweller as well as the farmer. More county parks such as this will stimulate closer union between the city and country. Hats off to LaMoure County! , TRAPPED IN CLOUDS What would you ‘do if you were nearly a mile above. ground in an airplane that suddenly. started to fall? Would you go to pieces or would ypur presence of mind save you? ane This thrilling experience happened to E. G. Leonhardt, air mail pilot. The story is going the rounds among aviators. | iy Last January, Leonhardt was. flying east through a terrific blizzard, 4,000 feet above sea level. He was over Pennsylvania, crossing the Allegheny Mountains. Suddenly the taper-pin on the elevator-control of the plane sheared off, Leonhardt was in the same predicament as you would be if you were driving a.car 60 miles an hour and the steering wheel broke. The mail plane broke intd a series of:dives. Run- ning wildly, like a bucking broncho, it shot up again, then dived*head-on toward earth. Leonhardt’s brain worked like chain lightning. He unloosened his life belt, squirmed down-to the break—and sed his metal Eversharp pencil as an emergency taper-pin. Another few seconds. * * * He had the mail plane under control, and was gliding to safety. ° Similar stories of exceptional presence of mind are told in nearly every factory and in every in- dustry, You recall the school-book story of the little Dutch boy who, finding a hole in the dike that kept out the ocean, plugged it with his finger and stood all night, preventing a flood. The reason we all like these stories is because it takes an emergency to bring out the real man. The brain, that- private office that controls jabout the good old bathtub with the gurgling ,jcommerce takes the position that the bonus is either goes dead or works: like greased lightning. What is it that gives one man presence of mind jin a pinch, while another is paralyzed and help- |less?

It; is a condition that sometimes goes with the sum- mer season, but without pressing that point, just what valid grounds have grumblers at the dis- comforts of the season for expecting manifesta- tions of public sympathy? : Summer heats are :tempered. nowadays. by a hundred alleviations: unknown to a hardier gen- eration. The ice wagon comes around regularly —in fact, it never misses except on the day we want an extra supply for company ice cream— and this luxury is within the ‘teach of everybody. Cooking meals must always be a weariness to flesh, and in summer unquestionably is a perspira- tion added to it. But what did our mothers know of gas stoves or electric ranges that can be turned off the moment the dinner is done? What did they know of prepared meats and soups and forty other edibles that now ean be produced on the table by the mere turn of aican opener?- What faucet whose matin note usher's'in’our day? We scorn the cheap oratorical trick of even pretend- ing to pause for a reply. i s Our mothers knew none of these things.’ They. did not keep house in summer with a can opener. We will continue to say it is Hot, and even. add that we feel the heat more ‘than’ other. people. Then when we sit down to a. dinner. of cooling salad from a can, bread from the baker's, potted | meat from the grocery and ice cream from the drug store, the lady who furnishes the conversa- tion at table will say, mark her words, next sum- mer she’ll be blessed if she’ll toil and broil all summer in a hot kitchen for any man. — Kansas City Star. DISABLED SOLDIERS AND THE BONUS Representatives of the American Legion and of the Veterans of Foreign Wars have appeared before the special committee of the United States senate and complained bitterly of the failure of the government agencies to provide decent hos- pital facilities for ex-service men in need of medi- cal care. Congress is entreated to “humanize” the bureaus that are supposed.to minister to the welfare of sick, disabled and unemployed and homesless veterans, A In view of the inexcusable neglect, of these for- mer service men, to whom the government, and the nation owe a debt of honor that never can be adequately discharged, it-is strange that congress, should continue to indulge in vague promises of a libéral bonus to soldiers instead of attending: to the pressing duty of providing for those who urg- ently need. relief and aid. The United States Chamber of Commerce has launched ‘a nation-wide campaign in favor of jus- tice to the disabled and destitute veterans. and against a general cash bonus to former. soldiers regardless of individual condition or need, The chamber insists that. the duty of the gov- ernment’ is to rehabilitate those who were phy- sically or menally injured during their period of service, and that a cash: bonus a year or two hence! will do no real good to anybody and represent so much waste. tie | / The fact is that even now congress has not the faintest idea as to where to find the $2,000,000,000 or $3,000,000,000 which, according to estimates, the proposed cash bonus would cost the govern- ment. Congress does not know when, if ever, the money. can be raised and paid, The chamber of wholly unnecessary and that the country cannot afford it, in view of the business situation and the back-breaking tax burdens. The reaction of the business community to the vigorous move of the chamber of commerce will be. watched with keen interest. Certainly the chamber is right in emphasizing the primary duty of taking proper care of the sick and maimed vet- erans regardless of the general talk of generous glycerin, was being lowered down the pipe. i But probably these reflections ‘will have no effect. | "gioonp. ‘Trish question*by his insiatency:. in Qiks ete aA apts THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE j | The administration has finally tak- So, with remarkable courage and presence of & the public into its confidence in re- spect to its plans for trying to bring mind, he knelt over the hole, and as the tube came! about an international agreement for out, hugged it to him and fell over backward.,| the limitation of armaments. The president, thnough the secre- tary of state, has felt out the four other great powers—Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan—as to their Chicago is arresting dairymen for watering} generai attitude on the subject. This first step is more or less in- formal and unofficial. But if the responses are as favorable as it is hoped and expected they will be, the proceedings will pass at once from the informal and unofficial to the formal and official stage. (Each of the powers will be invited to send delegates to a conference to be held in Washington. Certain “irreconcilable” senators, whi refuse-te be pleased with any- thing the administration does, criti- cise these plans because France and \Italy have been included and because it is proposd to discuss the question of policy in the Pagitic as well as armament limitation. This seems to be a narrow and pre- judiced view. So far as France and Italy are concerned while they have not the same interest in the naval aspects of disarmament as the other three powers they are great military na- tions.and their participation in the proposéd conference will greatly add to its importance and prestige, Either of these nations is quite as likely to furnish the moral leader- ship which is necessary to the suc- cess of the great enterprise as is America, Great Britain or Japan.

His plea: to Irishmen ‘to-forgive and forget and to join in making Treland a land of ‘peace, contentment and good will profoundly stirred England. ‘The Premier, quick to sense what the public was thinking, Jumped in on June 24 with a message to DeValera. “the chosen leader of the great ma- jority in southern Ireland,” asking him ‘to come to London for a confer- ence with himself and .Sir James Craig, the firat Ulster premier. ~ ‘On June 28 DeValera accepted, but insisted that all Irish, leaders first ought to meet'in Dublin to settle the Irfvh differences on Irish soil.

The next high spot in trish history came in May, 1917, when Lloyd George pro- posed settlement of the Irish ques- tion by having..a convention of all Irishmen to draft a constitution for the country. i All he-asked was that they sub- mit a constitution for better govern- ment of Ireland within the empire.

The urban elections of January and rural election of June’ 1920 further emphasized the Sinn Fein hold on Ireland. In July of last year the British gov- ernment began its campaign to sup- press the Sinn Fein,’ resulting in @ regular state of warfare between enown forces and Republicans. The list of dead. on both sides mounted into the hundreds, while other hundreds of Sinn Feiners were arrested and imprisoned.
