THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) <i ON THE SCENT Perfume sales are increasing. This is a sure sign that world business conditions are improving. So says Fernand Javal, of the Houbigant perfum- ery works in France. In hard times, says Javal, luxuries such as per-| fumes are the first to feel'the paring knife of economy. When times get better, wives and daughters have more money to spend. Presto! Up go the sales of erfumery, rouge, powder and cosmetics. This Ghecrysnotla make life more interesting to economists. Graphing perfume sales will be more enticing than steel ingot tonnage, freight traffic, fire losses or ebb-and-flow of the stock market. In the reviving perfume industry, Javal notices this interesting fact: The people are buying more expensive perfumes, war having refined their tastes, accustomed them to better things and cre- ated a desire for a higher standard of living. Time, deflation and paying off the war debt will tell whether the world’s people are biting off more than they can chew. ‘ In Russia, says Javal, the revolution ended the sales of the better grades of perfumes. But the sales have started up again, indicating this: When the upper classes of society are destroyed, in their place soon appears a new group with the) same tastes, desires and wants. « This replacing group shows that civilization is like a coral reef. Cut off the top and it is soon replaced by new growth. The tendency forever is from below upward. Like a growing tree—crop ‘follows crop until the tree or civilization becomes extinct. In France, before the war, perfume sales were mostly in cities. Now the big demand comes from small towns. The war has redistributed wealth, which is a good thing. : Germans are hoarding perfume, knowing that it has an international value, less apt to depreciate than the mark. : "Perfumes were, invented in ancient days, when few took baths, to enable people to get close to each other without grieving the sense of smell. Even in modern times, the world would be much better in health if sales of soap were a better barometer of human activities than sales of per-! fumes and cosmetics. Clean, healthy civilization is based on clean, healthy bodies. VANISHING Uncle Sam’s treasury in the last eight months took in only $58 for each $88 received in the. cor- responding months of ‘a year ago. ‘ The drop is likely to be even greater in coming months. A’ $2,000,000,000-a-year Congress is not as far distant in the future as most of us imagine. Even governments cannot indefinitely spend money they haven’t got. PROHIBITION German and Swiss brewers held a secret con- vention. Minutes: of the meeting leaked out and are published in Berlin. : What do you think the brewers talked about? Thev fear prohibition will sweep Europe. Americans started something international when they knocked John Barleycorn through the ropes. CO-OPERATIVE Germany now has 47.400 co-operative associa- | tions. In 1918 she had 33,313. ~ Trouble bands people together. Forty-three per cent of Germany’s co-operative societies are agencies for giving farmers long-time leans at low rates.- This is. bringing “reconstruction” down to fundamentals. So goes farm prosperity, so goes national prosperity. ACTORS John Drew, member of one of the oldest theat- and the old tragic school.” Everything looks better a long time after it hap- pens. that things are going to pot, compared with the good old days. Fathers say, “The high school lads don’t seem as big as in my day.” Their fathers said the same, before them. SWARMS Chicago checks up and finds that it has nearly as-much population as these eight western states combined: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, |Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota. The situation is this: In 933 square miles of city there are crammed’ almost ‘as many people jas in 831,252 square miles of open country. That is what is really wrong with America. |640,000 pounds a year. 20! It is called to your attention by Charles N. La- throp, secretary of the social service department | 4 lof the Episcopal Church. Lathrop is worried because the United States, next to England, is the greatest distributing cen- ter for habit-forming drugs. Dope is a greater evil than the bootleg traffic. Few realize it.

Most of it comes from Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania mines, the bulk of it being hauled by water to Duluth and thence-in cars to the con- sumers, Nearer at hand are Montana mines af- \fording a good grade of fuel, but it was no more javailable than if it was as far away as Duluth be- cause the railroads charged just as much for haul- ing the coal from the west as from the head of the lakes. This is to be changed by order of. the railroad ‘commissioners. This board declares it to bé un- reasonable that the cost of getting fuel from a nearby source be as.much as for a longer haul and | instituted the roadsto make such rates jointly |with each other that stations along their lines be ‘given this advantage. i This action along with the possibility of devel- ‘oping easier consumption. of -lignite will help to, solve the fuel problem of this state. \ Nature overlooked one thing when she laid out} |the plans and specifications for South’ Dakota. |That was to locate hard and soft coal mines in the |ground under the snow and cold of our winters. 'Of course she did remember about the lignite by, \the billions of tons, gas too, oil in waiting to be| |converted into heat, but these haven’t all become eae en News. | OUR CLEANLINESS | The Manchester Guardian’ undertakes to en- lighten its English readers on American cleanli- ness. Among the wonders upon which it remarks jare: The presence of a bathtub in every modern \house, the white porcelain of ‘bathtubs, sinks, and even laundry tubs, the convenience of hot and \cold water ready at hand, the lavish use of clean jlinen, the absence of the roller towel, and even |the cleanliness of our eating utensils. | “In large houses sometimes every room has its ‘bath, just as in England, every room would have jits jug and basin,” Which, incidentally, recalls ithe wash bowl and pitcher that is fast:disappear- ‘ing even from our farm homes. “In Hotels, run- jning water is again a matter of course jin every jroom,” exclaims the Guardian, “and if*there is no {bath in the room there is no charge for the use lof one outside.” | The wrapping of bread in waxed paper, loaf | |sugar neatly done up in paper and milk in sealed \sanitary bottles, are among other wonders men- \tioned, and even at the cheapest eating places “there is an abundance of clean paper napkins, well cleaned’ knives and forks of white metal, and, | iwhat is hardly ever seen in a cheap Englsih eating iplace, faultlessly clean glasses, well polished, to- if { | i 1 i water.” | It is remarked also that meat in the shops is \kept in cold boxes and that “while you cannot poke ‘and choose your meat,” you have the satisfaction ,of knowing that others cannot poke it either. | | Rhodes scholars at Oxford, writing home to!

At the very top of the Glass Moun- sharp corners. Suddenly the sun’s Trays, or something equally bright, struck it and it flashed out like a thousand streaks of lightning, straight into the eyes of the Twins, “Oh, I can’t see!” cried Nick, blinking hard. “I’m blind,” screamed Nancy, rub- bing her eyes with both hands. But no matter how they blinked and rubbed and winked and twisted, the blinding gleams dazzled them so completely that they couldn’t- tell east from west or north from ‘south. Even the magic red feather pen couldn’t help. Any message it would write would be useless, for the Twins couldn’t see the words. Small wonder then that when they stumbled. down the mountain they took the wrong path. (To Be Continued.)

The Jamestown Country club now owns 128 acres on eastern’ city lim- its, has a well developed nine-hole course, a fine start on its club house, and in fact has felt highly gratified over the successful start made and the interest of the members in golf and the club. Plans for the new club house were inspected and approved by the mem- hers. This year there will-bee built a 26 by 86 super-structure over the pres- ent basement, the first floor contain- iu lounging room, 17 by 25, with fireplace, kitchen, ladies’ locker.-and shower; in the basement will be: the. men’s locker and shower room; heat- ing. plant, pump room and caddy room.

UICK ACTION SAVES A FARM Speedy action of the applicant, friends and the farm loan department of the Bank of North Dakota has sav- ed one farmer the loss of his land. The story which became known to- day, is as follows: A farmer in Cavalier county had bought land on contract. Two other parties were in- terested. An amount was duo for pay- ment last Sunday, but because it was Sunday was due on Monday. ‘lhe farmer had applied for a loan. A lean of $6,550! was recommended as a safe loan. It was necessary for the farmer to raise'$1,250. A friend came to Bismarck and did this and made ar- rangements to rush the loan of the farm loan department. The farmer took care of arrangements in Cavalier county. As a result the money was on hand Monday to meet the paymont, and the farmer is saved the land, which is estimated to be wortn about $15,000.
