Hower of Crowley, Wyo., had his father-in- law ship him a carload of prunes from Idaho, The prunes cost Hower $200. The freight cost him $760. ; This puzzles and annoys Mr. Hower. He writes to Senator Capzer that he is going to import his next shipment of prunes from Turkey, as he finds “it is cheaper to ship prunes around the world than halfway across the United States by rail.” that he—like misery—has lots of company. G. W. Hill, Missouri farmer, writes Senator ; Capper that he shipped a beef hide to a neighbor-| ing town, where a commission company paid him; 3 cents a:pound, or a total of 36 cents. The freight charges was 33 cents. War tax, 2/etc, It is bloodless surgery, so no. scars are left. | cents. “Hill had to pay them both. It left him a, $720 _ |would cost to replace it.

Do you want that?) | Neither do the common people of any other coun-; \try. Diplomats do not truly represent their: | people. 1 ART | Gainsborough’s painting, “Blue Boy,” is sold in London for the equivalent of about $663,000 in‘ ‘American money. It is the most important art: sale for a generation. : i The big price would cause heart failure to the. old Chicago grain trader who, when his son paid; ,$3000 for a picture of three sheep, said, “I could’ buy a flock of real sheep for that.” : The transaction is interesting to students of values. The real value of anything is what. it! BIRTH-MARKS | A medical convention in Philadelphia displays | radium needles which, according to the doctors, | car eliminate all traces of birth-marks, moles, | This is of especial interest to women, all of | net. profit of 1 cent for his time and labor in skin-: whom should rejoice in the step forward. Ail ning the steer, not to count the portion of the women should do everything within their power; i expense of raising the steer that should be charged | up to selling price of the hide. i “While I was engaged in this work,” writes Hill, | “J wore a pair of common work shoes, which cost | me $9, damaging the shoes considerably.” | i ‘A. L. Camp and family live in Boulder, Colo. | A relative died at Leadville, 300 miles away. The! railroads wanted passenger fair of $137.70 te take the four Camp adults and a 13-year-old boy} by rail. “We started in a Ford car,” Camp writes Sen- | ator Capper. “The trip took me one and one-half days each way, and carefully computing our ex-| pense for tires, oil, gasoline, hotel and lunch, the; entire trip of 600 miles cost $33.70, or less than 2 quarter what the railroad fare would have cost—/ a saving for the adult members of the party of approximately $25 a piece, which was very fair; average wages for the time consumed by the trip.” There can be no real business boom until the fatmers’ buying power is restored. All authori- ties agree on that. ene And,the farmers’ buying power cannot be re-) stored until what they receive for their products is on a fair level with the prices they are asked to; pay for manufactured goods. | Manufacturing wages have been slashed. _, + Manufacturing profit margins have been re- duced—in some cases below the vanishing point. Freight rates alone remain high. With lower rates, the railroads would do a big-| ger volume of business. But their net profits prébably!‘would be greater than under high rates. Big volutie’and low margin built the Woolworth| building. They are the solution of the railroad problem—which, at the present stage, is the real) name of business depression. i REDUCE MEMBERSHIP INSTEAD OF | INCREASING IT The national House of Representatives by a nar- row margin “recommits to the Census Committee” the Siegel bill, which would increase the number of congressmen in the House from 4385 to 460 members. Sooner or later the bill will come back} in a new suit of clothes. ‘ | The country would be better off if Congress re- duced its numbers instead of increased them. Too many cooks spoil the broth. . Thomas Jeffer'son wrote the opinion that a legis-| lative body gets further and further away from the people, whom it represents, as the number of legislators increases. Jefferson was and is right. Debate and blizzards of words—the things that have made Congress notorious for its slowness of action—would only be increased by providing for. a larger army of debaters. | { 1 MAY EXTEND MANHATTAN Manhattan, the island on which New York City proper is built, may be extended six miles down| the bay. Engineers say it can be done. The con-| struction company has been formed and says it has the funds. _ If the War Department consents, work will begin. | Lawson Purdy, expert on New York land val- ues, a few years ago said that dredging the East! river would increase Manhattan’s population 300,000, adding $400,000,000 to real estate values. Multiply that many times and you have the wealth that would accrue to landlords by extending Man- hattan six miles farther. i Congestion becomes a liability..when. it-passes:2.

He got,his to make themselves beautiful. Beauty is wo-| man’s greatest asset, holding the same relation! as strength to man. | The day is not far off when intellect will be; the real evidence of beauty, shoving strength! and physical beauty into second place. POWER Water power, the sleeping giant, is coming to; life. Since March 1, the Federal Power Commis-{ sion has issued permits for projects that will: develop 1,269,000 horsepower. Applications for! 13 times that much are filed, not-yet acted upon. Every drop of falling water, on its way back to the sea, is potential power, a labor-saver for man. Failing to harness it is as foolish as /it would be to burn all electric lights night and day.! But a beginning has been made. Prospects are| good. i \ | i i MAGIC A great mystery of magic is how. a Hindu jug- gler once spoke to a meeting in Pengal, walked out. the door and showed up 100 miles away an; hour later. Shucks! Any modern aviator can do that. A theatrical company is playing “The Wrong Number,” night performances, at the Duke of Managers signs up. to put on daily matinees, with the same company,| at Manchester, 190 miles away. Company will travel by air. : j Modern science beats ancient Black Magic. AUTOS Pennsylvania now leads all states in the num- ber of passenger automobile registrations, taking| the honor away from New York, says the Bureau of Public Roads. But what state do you think has the most cars in proportion to its population? North Dakota! It, has four cars for every 21 inhabitants. Iowa cars for every 62 people. The East had:better think twice before com- menting about thé’ West being slow. You don’t get into the real United‘States until you hit the wheat and corn belts. xy | DEATH — | Science long scoffed at the theological concept of life after death. Now we see many of the) greatest scientists, like Sir Oliver Lodge, abgolute-! ly convinced that the soul exists and ha} ‘intelli-| gence after death. AY \ Lannelongue, of Paris, would not be scoffed at| today, as he was when cartoonist caricaturad him, ; carrying a human head. Trying to prove that consciousness persisted after death, he paic cviminals. about to be’ guillo- money’s worth. The eyes often winked. Now we know it was for the same reason that frog’s legs kick in a frying pan. i YANKEE F. Herman Gade, Norway’s new minister to Brazil, stops off in New York and tells this story: At one time, a woman complimented him on his ability to speak many languages, and asked him where he learned English. “I was taught it since childhood,” said Gade. “But I never felt I knew it fluently. until I was elected mayor of Lake Forest, Ill.

The, original’ suggestion was to hold a disarmament conference, but it was scon realized that to propose even a reduction of armament without first removing the principal causes of friction between ‘the powers would prove a mere waste of time. 4. So the idea of a “Pa ence” was born—the Pa ticularly the Far East being the rec- ognized new war-breeding region of the world. 5. The Far East is the new trouble- center because Asia offers stupendous opportunities in the way cf trade and both China and Russia are powerless to defend themselves against mighty nations. 6. China has split herself up into two main factions—northern and southern—each with a “president;” ‘and many of her provinces have pro- claimed their autonomy. Undevelop- ted, rich in natural resources beyond ‘ conception, she is ripe fruit and good f picking for territory-grabbing, or con- "| eession-hungry neighbors. | 7. Siberia, too, rich in the natural | resources. which can supply the raw | products so essential to an industrial nation, is an open invitation to for- {eign exploitation. 8.

Britons in the Far East wish to see the Anglo-Japanese alliance de- agreement regarding the, Far East and to which tle United States would be an important party. 18. They claim Japan has not kept her word with regard to the “open door” or with Great Britain with re- gard'ta'the alliance. They fear Ja- pan’s ‘secret intentions in Asia and ‘what she might do in India, 19. A Pacific conference, British Dominion hope, will serve toclear up the atmosphere of suspicion in the Orient and pave the way for the de- nunciation of an outworn and unpop- ular alliance in favor cf new under- standings. 20. It is hoped that by,all the great powers putting their cards face up-on the conference table at Washington, and everybody playing square with each other and with Asia} the causes of friction between at least the three principal naval powers can be re- moved to the extent that partial dis- armament, or. limitation of armament, will result. - tS 21, Will the conference succeed? It will if the pewers give helpless Asia 2 square deal and the Hay doctrine is finally put across in a way that will prove effective. 22. If the conference does nothing else, it will show everybody how the land lies.

Without publicity, right-minded nations are likely to have their endeavors painted black and the skullduggery of the bad ones depicted in bright colcrs, 24. Aside from justice and fair play to the under dog, America’s interests in Asia are economic. If a single power, or group of powers, gains eco- nomic or political control over the great markets of the world, America, workingmen, shut out, and with no outlet for their surplus goods, must leave America and look for jobs in more virile land. It is a question of both capital and labor, —______________, | PEOPLES’ FORUM | (AEP PS GE Ue LE WHAT NORTH DAKOTA NEEDE ‘Bismarck, N. D., 2 Nov. 2, 1921. Editor Tribune: (Now, that the election is over, let all good citizens forget party differ- ences, and rally to the support of our state. What North Dakota needs more than anything else is a return of the spirit of brotherly love which has been so sadly lacking for the past several years. ‘Greater by far than any political party, we must have this spirit of tol- erance toward each other if we ever can expect to accomplish anything of lasting benefit to ourselves and the world, We must forget politics for a time at least, and give our thought to con- structive principles. Good citizenship demands that -the; minority abides by the will of the ma- jority; that once the election is set- tled, all must abide by the result, and|{ not let party preference interfere with | state government. { The league could retaliate for the| hinderance and abuse it has ever had} to contend with. It could, by inter- | in a political turmoil}, even as has its adversaries. The result of the election . proves ‘that the league is still a fiarce to be ‘reckoned with; that evoa in defeat it \is still victorious. But, if the league wishes to do the |greatest good it possidly can do to the state it will step aside peacefully Ificials. For, after all, what the farmers i wish for is the fulfillment of their pro- |gram, the building of the terminal ele- ivator and mill along with the rest of ‘the original program. —. | A good many of them did not take jkindly to the new fangled laws espec- tially those sponsoring the initiative, |refercndum and recall. It would seem ‘as though the very laws intended to ‘aid the league have succeeded in de- {feating it. | Ths new officials and the organiza- tion backing them have promised the |people of the state much—cheaper credit, better prices and bette: times. Now, let all honest, right thinking | people give them a fair and impartial chance to fulfill these pre-clection | promises before expressing an opinion. jit we are to have this spirit of tol- | petty policies. The wiring of the news to the President of the United | States that North Dakota was re-in- ‘stated in the union, by the Dickinson | Independents, was a dirty insult to the farmers and others who voted the ‘league ticket. Such tactics as these will not ‘succeed in, making toward harmony and can only serve to widen the rift that has caused s> much heart break in our state already. It requires courage to face a defeat, and no consciehtious vic'or will seek to humiliate an opponent after he is down and out of the count. —FLORENCE BORNER. | Editor The Tribune: i'The School ‘As a Community Center. nmon belief that the school buildings should be used free- ly for neighborhood meetings of var- ious kinds and that the teachers should not only encourage such use, but that they should so conceive their professional functions as to attempt. to organize the community about the schoolhouse as a center. Political. religicus. and. recreational, assqcia- tions should meet here whenever such jenterprives seem to be related broad- ly to educational affairs. In this way |uiuch may be done for the generai good and advancement of .the school community. All tne people of the state shcald go to school, There should be no limits. The, school should be open at all times to serve all the people alike in the community. j As social and. recreational centers; by serving as. a common meeting place for all societies which seek to raise the social, moral and intellect. ual standards of the community. fheretore it is urged that the teach- fers and admin ative officers of the public schools take the lead in ali ctivities so that the ,cause of education may he strengthen- ed‘and broadened and the prot ion of teaching given the substantial rec- j}ognition that it deserves. The public school community as- sembly, should be an open forum; or- ganized on the basis of difference avd not the basis of similarity of opinion, As an asembly it is purposely or- ganized on the basis of difference. In all: private groups, the group selects members who agree, who will accept che ccnstitution and by-laws and re- main by the same. This is our or- ganization which uses. similarity of cpinion, Now let us notice the as- semblage in the name of the open forum. Here the sole purpose is to make use of the difference of opinion in an intelligent manner. Our aim is to induce men who do not believe as we do; to see, to understand and fall in line with the general school {spirit and movement. It then be- comes our duty to understand all a3 to religion, politics and varied opiu- ions that they may hold that differ lfram ours. It is not’ necessary that either accept the belief or opinion of the other, but as to being intelligent it is our duty to attempt at least to find out what the other man stands for and what he believes and what he thinks.
