R. Poole, Canadian specialist on boy work, when in Bismarck stressed thé necessity of exer- cising the greatest care in the selection of school teachers. Recently when the Rotary clubs of Canada held an educational conference at Winni- peg, experts gathered from the four corners of mechanical industties gained 400'per cent, in trade and transportation 500 per cent. The figures are out of line. They are made Editor Possible only by scientific agriculture. The farmer of today is feeding more people than in the past. He’s also getting more conven- iences from city factories. » JAPAN American business men, who are worrying about financial-alling off in foreign trade, can take fresh heart from Japan; which reports its imports are exceeding its exports about the ‘equivalent of $45,000,000 a month. Meaning, Japan is going in the hole that much. Times might be a lot better in America. But $7.20 they seem to be worse in every other country. A CHEAPER FOOD To get cheaper food and more of it, county ‘agricultural agents of the-Department of Agri- culture make 230,819 field demonstrations in a year. These demonstrations are scientific exhi- bitions, teaching how to grow more to the acre. Hit-or-miss farming, trusting to providence and the elements, is a thing of the past. The American farm is becoming a chemical labora- tory. : The Department of Agriculture is easily. the most important branch of the national govern- the globe were a unit on the vital need of secur-jment, just as farmers ‘are our most important ing men and women of the greatest moral and in- |citizens. j / tellectual attainments},, - i “The employment problem is the hardest one that confronts a achool board. to get into personal contact with the applicants | and the recommendations are more or less formal “in nature. ‘ It is reported that a very large percentage of _Bismarcktdeachers will resign this fall and new “ones; will bg {eelected to take their places. Wo- men’s clubs and civic bodies could perform no bet- ter function that to cooperate with the school board on the matter of securing the best talent for the Bismarck schools. : | Important resignations are to be announced in| _ the executive force of the schools in the near fu- ture and if there ever was a time to strengthen the personnel of the teaching staff in Bismarck that occasion is ‘here now. , A school board is merely representative of the parents who have children in the chools and, of the taxpayers who must furnish the funds and; unless citizens generally show an interest in the! ~ administration of school matters, theré will be an indifferent and inefficient administration of the people’s business. ; The Tribune would like to receive short letters or comments from parents upon Bismarck’s school ~ system—its good points ‘as well as any sugges- tions for betterment. Names should be signed to these communications, but ‘vill be withheld from publication if so desired. Criticism should be constructive and not petty or personal. Where = there is occasion for praise, credit should not be « withheld. : A general symposium through the press on the administration of school affairs in Bismarck either from a taxation standpoint or from.a purely i educational viewpoint would be interesting to the citizens generally and might give the board of education inspiration in their none too easy task of school administration. # : COST OF ROADS The cost of keeping up American roads and building new ones last’ year was $4 for every It is impossible | EMPLOYED In 1880 there were in America 2,647,000 women and 14,745,000 men gainfully employed—working for wages or salaries. In 40 years the number of employed women gained 221 per cent, men only 124 per cent, reach- ing a total of 8,594,000 women and 33,059,000 imen. Among those earning their own living by the pay envelope route, today there is one woman to four men. The tendency steadily is upward. Unless there is a reaction, the general economic independence of women is not far off. THEATRICAL MERGER Five hundred of the country’s leading theaters are merged in one gigantic transaction involving $100,000,000. js The purpose. is to stop the building of needless theaters and eliminaté duplication of effort in pro- iducing plays. | For the theatrical magnates, this merger prob- ably isa good stroke of scientific management. It is part of a period of big consolidations, now under way in most basic industries. Mergers, however, carried to the point of moriopoly, would further deteriorate our anemic jdrama. Decay is steady and inevitable when all competition is eliminated. EDITORIAL REVIEW nee ta 3 Comments. reproduced’ in this’ column may of ‘may nit exprees the opinion of The Tribune.

He built Fort Union at the. mouth of the Yel- lowstone for his headquarters and dur- ing five years of very successful work there he showed great executive abil- ity, remarkable foresight and venture- some enterprise. He saw the need and advantaged.of. a steamboat to carry the gcods and stipplies,of the Com- pany’s northwestern trading posts, es- pecially for the vigorous, enlargement of their business, i Ms “scheme of taking a steatabdat up the Mis- sour to the mouth of the Yellowstone river” was: then an expériment, “and the majority ‘of the business mon of St. Louis*doubtéf its success”, for until 1831-scareély and ~ steamboat business was done (on the Missouri) above the mouth of the Kansas River (where Kansas City now is) and but very little below. But,.MoKenzie was the sort of’a jan to grapple with new and havi enterpriges, and when in St. ‘Li in August, )1830, he “con- vinced: the-nilinagement’ thore of/ the practicability of the ‘project and it was decided to undertake it.” Mr. Pierre Chohtegu, Jr.,theiactive west- |e managorof ang American Fur Ne’ Co., wrotesto tits York house on August 30th, outlining in great detail the plan of this new enterprise. It is much to the credit of all concerned that the plan was immediately adopt- ed. A small, side-whpeled steamboat was contracted for in ‘October and was built at Louisville, Ky., and named the “Yellowstone.” It was taken to st. Louis, loaded, and started from there on April 16, 1831, for the upper aa8s0Ui 1. Captain, B. Young was master of the boat, while its princi- pal passenger was Pierre Chouteau, whose business sagacity was: also shown in pe-sonal supervision of this “experiment” and in making a tow: of inspection. Aftersinuch delay, caused by low water (the boat draw- ing five feet) the “Yellowstone” on June 19, 1831, arrived at Fort Tecum- sen, where kort Pierre now is. No ‘other steamboat shad ascended the Missouri above the old Council Bluffs, (near Calhoun, Neb.) No attempt was made to go further up the river that year and the boat returned to St. Louis on July 15th. In 1832 the “Yellowstone” ‘left St. Louis on March 26th and arrived at Fort Tecumseh on May 3ist. A di tinguished passenger was the artist, George Catlin, and another was Pierre Chouteau, Jr., in wnose honor the new ‘trading post was named which Was built near Fort Tocumseh to replace it when it was soon after undermined by the “raging Missouri.” Fort Pierre Chouteau was the original name of Fort Pierre. ‘Leaving there on June ith, tue steamboat went up to Fort Union, ar- riving there about June 17th. The “Yellowstone” returned to Fort Pierre on June 28rd. The interest created by. the voy- age of the “Yellowstone” extended, not only over the United States, but to Europe as well, and John Jacob Astor, who was in France. wrote that the voyage “attracted.much attention in Eurcye and has been noted in all the papers here. .

Dakota increased their respect for the Americans, and this voyage of the “firecanoe” is said to have turned the scale of the Indians’ favor: toward the Americans as against the British The success of the steamboat “Yel. lowstone” in the fur trade business was so great that the American Fur company ordered a somewhat larger craft, which was built at Cincinnati in the winter of 1832-33 and christened the “Assiniboine” In 1833 it took the noted .scientist and explorer, Prince Maxmilian of Wied, and, party from Ft. Pierre to Ft. Union. Tho next year the “Assiniboine” went ,up the Missouri nearly to the mouth of Pop- lar river, about one hundred. miles above Ft. Union, and because of’ low water was. compelled to stay there. In 1853 the “El Paso” went about 125 miles further, to a point five miles above the mouth of the Milk river. In this year also another steamtpat of the American Fur Co., the “Robert Campbell” (Captain W. H. Parkinson) went up the Missouri to within twen- ty miles of the Milk. river. The U. S. Commissioner of Indian affairs reported that in 1859 “througt the energy and , enterprise of Mr. Charles' P. Chouteau,.the only son of Pierre Chiouteau, Jr., of St. Louis, the contractor for the transportation o the annuity goods for the Blackfoo Indians, they were this year taken tc Fort Benton by steam—six hundre¢ miles further than the Missouri was ever so. navigated _ before.” This steamboat was the “Chippewa”, with Captain John La Barge, bnother of Captain Joseph Ly Barge, which went to Fort Brule, near Ft. Benton, ar- riving there July 17th. ‘ In 1860 the “Chippewa” and “Key West” went all the way to Fort Ben- ton, both arriving there on July 2nd. In May, 1861, the “Chippewa” bound for Ft. Benton. burnt in Disaster Bend, near Poplar river, Mont. J, B, IRVINE Pierre, S. D.

When one wishes a wicked dream he goes to Eena Meena, the magician, who lives on a star. He boils al sorts of dreams— makes ’em up to order, So Twelve Toes, the Sorcerer, de- siring a specially terrible dream, changed himself into a bat and flew up to the star to old Eena Meena. “Hello,” he said flyinw down ena Meena’s, ‘chimney, ta that perton’s astonishment, and hanging upside down by his feet on the \clothes line where Eena Meena’s dreams we-c drying in bags. “Hello,” said the magician. “What a start you did give me, Twelve Toes! What can I do for you?” “I want two dreams—awful ones,” croaked Twelve Toes. “I want ’em for a boy and a girl called Nick and Nancy who are giving me a lot of tnouble. They are on their way to the palace of the Princess Therma, who lives between the kingdom of the Diddyevvers and the ‘Korsknoits. They carry a phonograph record giv- en them: by Longhead, the wiseman. I don’t want them to get there, be- cause when they do the princess will marry, either the king of one country or the other, and I want her for my- self.” ‘i “I seo—ee—ee!” grinned wicked wold Eena Meena. “You want dreams tha@ will make them lose their way.” “Right o’!” croaked Twelve Toes. “They are asleep now in the lovely valley between the Electric Mountain and ‘the Hiderdown Mountain, and they will start over the Eiderdown Mountain at daybreak. Thoy have so much magic along I’m afraid they'll get there.” “Pll help you,” nodded Bena Meena, going to his cupboard and taking ¢cpwn. bottles, cups and’ measuring glasses, Then he went down cellar and after EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO| T SCG THIS MAN HAS JUST CUT IN NeW CEMENT YES, He STUCE HASN'T y SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE You “Sert®y WITH COMFORT tl” SéT_ YET, : séce 24, 1922 eturneg/ with all sorts of queer things. . thing now but seven feathey's from seven green faid. “I'll find them in green parrots,” ~he ‘Optimist: Sick man learnAng to play a-harp.
