Bismarck will hold,its sec- ond annual banquet, for the boys and their fathers next Tuesday evening at the High,School' Gym- nasium and the event is worthy. of the heartiest support of. the community. i This event will afford a chance for rare fellow- ship and:will serve to bring the fathers and sons into a closer bond of ‘mutual understanding. The inspiration of such a gathering is bound to bear fruit in making better sons and fathers. At these banquets is emphasized the necessity for high ideals in private and public life. _ The boys.and fathers derive a collective good from the close assogiation afforded. : These annual affairs serve to accentuate the re- sponsibilities of parentage and especially the duties of a father to a son. The sons derive bene- fits also by having driven home to them the obe-_|| dience they owe their parents. Fathers and sons get together too seldom. They ‘play and study together hardly enough to get ac- quainted as they should. These banquets point out the value of such close comradeship. Only j the ready response of the fathers can make them -a success. When the boys seek you out with an ‘invitation give them the ‘hearty response they ;deserve. : A night out with your boy at such a banquet i will be a rich experience. The price of rattlesnakes, diamonds and ele- -phants is down; but none of them make very good eating. { JUVENILE FORGER ; A juvenile forger is held by the Boston police. :Although only 12 years old, his talent for forging; penmanship is so remarkable that ‘he is compared to Jim the Penman. Juvenile court should sentence this lad to a-trip to the federal penitentiary at Atalanta for a talk .with the white-haired master forgers. What the, Jad would hear from them about crime not paying ‘would do him more good than any other. sentence ithe court might impose. A defect of the law is that it doesn’t unveil the inevitable future to the budding gangster. The ‘average gun-toter could be cured by being com-| |henceforth that unless a midwest congressman, pelled to witness an execution. ", South Africans have a drink that makes them walk backward. A man can swear he started home but went! the other way. _,,»POWER OF INTEREST ¢ In 1897 George Jones borrowed $100 from ‘Henry R. Stuart. He agreed to pay 10 per cent interest a month. : _ Stuart sues for the principal of the note, along ‘with accrued interest. He gets a judgment in court at San Jose, California. : There isn’t enough money in the world to pay it. It’s an important incident though, illustrating the power of compound interest to bring wealth to the thrifty. Compound interest is the only universal road to financial independence. ‘ t i Some people have to brag about their ancestors because they have no descendants to speak of. ENOUGH LAWYERS SAYS TAFT The country has enough lawyers, doesn’t need any more, says Chief Justice Taft. ; Isn’t that true of every other line of work? Being overcrowded ‘is an excellent stimulant for any profession or trade. Competition — not enough to completely satisfy the wants of all —- keeps every one up on his toes. ' Without overcrowding, no spectacular individ- ual success. All men are lazy except when they have competition. Fortunately, most of us have it—more than was can handle. The French say prices are injuring art. Inspir- ation, we understand, is up several francs a quart. - BOBBED HAIR In Chicago an average of 2500 women a day are getting their hair bobbed. Is bobbed hair coming as a permanent institu- she gave away, and the framing was a mere com-| aul tion? 5 It is only a few generations since all men wore their hair long: No doubt, the men who pioneered the short-hair fad were ridiculed. bed hair may be a curiosity. Once cut, they gen- erally like it. That is the first requisition for making a fad into an established custom. Jury, who awarded a man 50 cents for two broken floating ribs, evidently consulted current quotations of spareribs. * WAREHOUSES ‘Says the Wall Street Journal: “Taking into consideration the higher prices of raw materials, inventories of most companies are far below what they were in pre-war years.” This means that stocks of goods in warehouses are low—below normal. | Such a condition ‘always is the tail-end of hard 20 times. When bins are hungry, buying on a big scale is not far off. We wouldn’t be surprised if ‘some neighbors ‘bought records and borrowed our phonographs to play them. Doctors say a Detroit man who drank mercury 'by mistake will be,up when the weather gets | warmer, | -The worst thing about garden time is the man |who says, “My wife planted French fried pota- toes. é | College girls who deney they ‘pine for kisses now have some more explaining to do. we Quite a few married men carry their religion in their wife’s name. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in. this. column miy or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues whjch are being discussed in the press of the day COMPLETE DATA The full report of the international joint com- mission recommending the development of the St. Lawrence deep waterway, which was transmitted to congress last month with President Harding’s indorsement, has now been printed for general distribution. It contains adequate summaries of; the arguments for and against the project, full data on which the commission’s recommendation’ ‘rests, maps and drawings of the proposed improve- ‘ment and an outline of its historic background. No big public project ever undertaken in Amer- has had behind it as thorough a study, as ex- haustive a consideration of its every angle and as ‘|complete a survey of its possible utility as: this. Hearings were held by the commissioh in many \cities, American and Canadian, along and near 'the boundary.. Both as_a navigation and a power iproposal it, was submitted to every conceivable \theoretical test. It is now heartily indorsed as an economic and engineering enterprise. The ‘plan is before congress and before the parliament at Ottawa. | Publication of this report should hasten the de- ‘cision of men-and of organizations which have thus far either ignored the accumulation of evi- dence supporting the seaway or have made it a pretense for inaction that the joint commission had not yet reported. It is fair enough to assume for instance, is for the waterway. he is against it. There is no neutral middle ground. No one can plead lack of information. i There is scarcely a doubt thatcongress will act favorably on the waterway. Midwestern senti- ment cannot be mistaken. Members. of congress, jparticularly those representnig districts touch- jing the Great Lakes,,cannot afford to be indif- iferent to an improvement that will bring the sea ito the gate of every city with a harbor along, this lchain of inland waterways.—Cleveland. Plain \Dealer. ay ost ' en DIFFERENT TRIBES A good deal of the mystery and horror with jwhich these Hollywood “tragedies” are enveloped \would be dissipated if the difference between two \points of view could be eliminated. Despite the lassurance from stage people that their life off the \boards is just like those of farmers and coachmen land the four hundred, it isn’t. There is a differ- ence in language, the customs, in short, the point of view. Things that horrify the haberdasher and \hfs wife are innocent and customary in the rank jand file of the stage, if not in its upper rank. To take a few simple examples.’ A kiss may be an awful thing to a high school girl, and yet a chorus girl, just as good, carelessly kisses a good- night to a man she scarcely knows. Where Me- linda Simpson signs, “With mama’s regards and imine,” a cabaret singer will express precisely the same sentiment with “Love, old top,” and know that it will be taen in the same way. It is dis- covered that a framed photograph of Winifred Kingston was found in the bungalow of William 'D. Taylor, and Miss Kingston is obliged to take ithe trouble of denying that she and Taylor were engaged. If he were a business man and she the \ward of his aunt’s cousin, that framed photograph’ imight form presumptive evidence that they were engaged. But in the circles in which they moved the photograph was doubtless one of a great-many pliment. The trouble is simply that the tavo kinds of life don’t speak each other’s language, even if repre- |sentatives of both. attend the same church. — -|John Wynn Was | | Rt | 4 MANDAN NEWS | Well Known Former .

Editor The Tribune, Bismarck, N. D. : The farmers and stockmen of the western part of North’ Dakota ; are fighting for thelives of their livestock. Old King Winter has. put over a sus- tained barrage of snow, ice and cold winds, that has taken a heavy toll of the enemy. He has succeeded to such an alarming extent that even the War Finance Corporation has been called upon to provide ammunition in the shape of hay and other ‘feed. Many carloads have been shipped into the war-torn country and’ it is believed by those who have been in touch with the generals’ that the tide of battle has turned and that Old King Winter is about to retreat... All that ig needed now is a good Chinook wind and the battle will be won. However, there will still be need for much work as the stock will then be in such a weak- j ened condition that they will continue to fall-victims of their circumstances. of which constrains one to suggest ta law should be enacted whereby i will be a misdemeanor punishable by fines or confiscation of personal property for any farmer or stockman who fails’ to provide enough: feed for his stock to dive through the winter ey on.

Like billows.on an ever changing sea, The shadows fall and raise unceasingly Till suddenly from out his distant height The sun sinks down completely: from our sight, And leaves the world and all it has to me; : Then, gleaming stars’ send forth their tiny light, To guide us, and protect us where we be. Thus Night, the lovely queen of Darkness comes, To greet us at the closing of the day.

Conside: the untold suffering imposed.on duml animals through the lax methods ‘em- ployed by their masters. When one vigualizes a group of noble horses huddled in a corner of a pasture with their hoofs worn off by constant paw- ing in the snow and their mouths sore from crunching ice, slowly freezing anc starving to death, while their eyes are fixed on the distant light of a warm farm house, he is compelled to take the conclusion that something ought to be done toward preyenting such an- other condition. !

Charles Meredith is the leading man, and the picture was directed by Harley Knoles, THE ELTING “White Oak,” that’s Wm. S. Hart in | his new pitture which is being shown at the Eltinge today (Saturday). The chief character is Oak Miller a west- erner and a man with a heart of gold. He is white by nature, in the collo- quial sense. White as the Oak whose name he bears—what better cogno- men than “White” Oak? Thus the reason for the title of one of the mos: vivid pictures of pioneer days that has ever been‘produced. It is.by Mr. Hart, Bennett Musson wrote the scenario and Lambert. Hillyer was |director. Vola Vale makes a very sympathetic heroine.

The Twins didn’t know what a toll-gate was, all they saw was a great wooden bean directly in their path, and they stopped to consider how they could get ’round it or over it or under it. “I know a way,” said the goat. “If you take the basket and set it on the other side I'll ow you how.” All this time no one was in sight. A queer little house with a roof like a \hair brush squatted at the side of the road, but no one came out of it to help taem. There was nothing to do but to take the goat’s advice. Nick took the basket and set it care- fully on the other side of the gate. “Now watch me,” said the goat. “Do just as I-do: After we're over we can pick; up the basket and. climb’ the mountain. We ought'to gét to the top before sunset. Wei'ltie ‘wafe there, for I understand that from’: the top you can see tae world like a map. I'm anxious to see where we are going, particularly the Princess Therma in her Castle of Mirrors.

Clear the track!” Tae goat ran back a few steps, then turning, he lowered his head and gave a spring. It. was a ‘wonderful leap, and he landed almost half way up the mogn- tain. But lo and behold! The moun- tain, you know, my dears, was rubber and the goat bounced back. For miles and miles he went through the air like a black and white comet. Finally the Twins lost sight of him, but he was still going. (To Be Continued.) (Copyrigat, 1922, NEA Service.) ent ee ees ee | LEARN A WORD |! | EVERY DAY | oe Today’s word is DIRIGIBLE.
