They no longer depend upon a “good crop” alone for their income As a side line, they own a small herd of real milk cows—cows that produce more nearly 400 pounds of butter fat each per year than 160 pounds which is the, average, production record of cows owned by“ North Dakota “cow keepers.” What are the results? “Farmers in the dairy circuit are re- ceiving a nice fat check every week for the cream which they send to town. The check is receivec not only in summer, but it comes in during the “winter when most farmers have considerable leisure and, ng,immediate income unless, they se!’ some grain or farm animals. ; “This, at least; has been the experience of the men in the New Salem circuit which was organized in 1909. When the price of grain and roughage is “so cheap that it doesn’t pay to raise it” a milk cow will turn low priced grain into high priced butter With the present prospects of a bumper cro’ many farmers will be looking for a way in which to dispose of some of their grain and hay at a profit. It is good business to investigate the dairy cow proposition. Because the business men of Bismarck are convinced of the practical value of a Holstein Dairy Circuit, members of the Rotary club are inviting the farmers of Burleigh county to be their guests again this year on a trip over the New Salem Holstein circuit, Thursday, June 22. The business men know that the prosperity of Bismarck depends upon the ‘prosperity of the farmers. in the county. saint As Mr. Farmer, are you willing to go half way and investigate the matter? Then be on hand Thurs- day. See for yourself the kind of cows kept by members of the New Salem circuit, how they are fed, and the returns received. ; STREET FAKERS One of the great American institutions that is in danger of becoming extinct is the old-time street faker, as truly a Yankee product as apple pie, baseball, the circus and black-face minstrels. Old-timers may have noticed something lacking this spring, and not been sure just what it was. What they miss is the street faker. Montague Silver, “greatest, street man west of the Alleghenies” and typical of his profession, rises in memory. It is a warm,June evening back yonder in the old hometown. !‘Montague’s big red gipsy wagon is parked in the public square. Towering above the half-awed, half-jubilant faces of the populace is Montague himself, beaver hat, frock coat, checkered vest, goatee and all— including one of the Brazilian diamonds, large as a hickory nut, which Monty carried:in. stock. Under the flickering, light of a banjo-shaped gasoline’ tor 1, the'did'Stteet faker dispensed Wa- Wa, “the remedy whose formula I procured while a captive among the Sioux Indians.” When interest in tonic of 98-per-cent-alcohol strength waned, Monty brought forth razors, com- bination handy tools, eight handkerchiefs for a quarter * * * and the Little Giant Prize Packet that included everything under the sun, especially a trick ring for squirting perfume in a friend’s eye. Usually a street faker “came regularly, once a year,” but rarely twice to the same town, especial- ly when the Chinese peach trees he left behind turned out to be dogwood or blackhawk. The street faker flourished before the days of scentific salesmanship, of which he was the orig- inal discoverer, and many a “captain of industry” owes much of his selling ability to boyhood even- ings, listening under the gasoline torch. To gather the crowd together and hold them when they grew restless and showed signs of drifting away to poolroom or homes, there was a black-face entertainer who told the joke about the mule breaking its leg when it kicked mother-in- law in the jaw. _The minstrel’s sure-fire was the old-time favorite song, “My Gal’s a High-Born Lady.” One in a while, these days, you see a Montague Silver and his black-face entertainer passing out their plunder from a wagon. But mostly the WELL: i GUESS "D BETTER GET MY J} COAL IN- IF THE STRIKE KEEPS UP VU WILL vuST GET HIGHER = VLE JUST WALK OVER AND ORDER MYSELF ABOUT 20 TONS, STICK IT IN THE BASEMENT, AND YOU'LL SEE SMOKE FA) COMING OUT OF MY CHIMNEY ALL WINTER Rete AN eS Tae MAERUA NEAH- | DONT CARE iF THEY PULL A RAILROAD STRIKE ENTER VM NOT GOING ANY PLACE- VLE JUST FILL MY HOUSE FULL OF GOOD STWFE Yo EAT AND VUL BE SET- I'D LIKE To SEE SOMEBOW TRN To MAKE ARITA ASA esa oN Cera RNNTANaNNNR een UA ANE MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1922 ARAL RRR ae AN SH LA TEAR ERT CC a oN ALL THE TOOLS I'LL NEED TO \F MAKE A LIVING FROM NOW ON ISA PAIR OF SCISSORS— “JUST CLIP COUPONS AND CASH ‘EM THATS ALL = ‘ VLU HAVE MINE INVESTED IN BONDS = ILL GET THE FIRST DOUGH THAT COMES IN- AFTER “THEN GET THROVGH SLIPPING ME f A THE .CoiIN THEY, CAN DIVIDE THE REST OF AT.

The street fakers had too much business ability to continue ma small scale; they branched out. Then, too, t’s hard to get a street crowd together in these days when pedestrians have nearly all taken to auto, nobody walking. The street faker is vanishing into memory, where he stands out clear and conspicuous entic- ing, likable, a monument to the simple pleasures ind thrills of days when Bryan was a young man and his champions were vowing not to get their hair cut until he entered the White ‘House as oresident. LUXURY What thing in civilization would you miss most ‘f you suddenly went out to live in the woods like 1 savage? In England, Major McEwan and his wife tried ‘he experiment. After 10 days they abandoned heir “back to nature” campaign. The major pronounced tobacco the greatest jlessing of civilization. His wife picked soap. Another 10 days without soap and the major vould have agreed with her. Cleanliness is civilization’s greatest luxury. AUTOS Have you bought a new car this year? The auto industry adds up and finds that in May it shipped from factories 252,000 passenger cars and trucks, not counting Fords. This is the biggest output for any single month im history. It‘peats, by 32,000, the record estab- ished in March, 1920." ~’ - One good thing- about a business boom — it comes back as fast as it left.

How would you like to live in a city of that size? The safety engineers, however, are wrong. Be- fore New York passes the 10,000,000 mark, the airplane will begin breaking up the cities. People will live in the country, going to cities only to work and shop. Entertainment will be at home — movies and “legitimate” theatrical pro- ductions seen and heard by wireless. — EDITORIAL REVIEW ee Comments reproduced in this column may 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 which are being discussed in the prese of the day. THE TWELVE GREATEST WOMEN “Who are the 12 greatest’ women in the United States?” asks the League of Women voters, wishing to oblige a Chilian delegate by ‘giving her the names. The question is badly put. In the quoted form it has no answer. The Chilian sister wants a list of a dozen famous women about each of whom she may write a piece for her favorite journal at home. It would be easy to give her such a list as that. But the 12 greatest women of a generation or of a nation—that is a different matter. The quality of womanly greatness calls in its revela- tion for no sifting out of a “Who’s Who,” for no extraction from the roll of service in a cause pub- licly espoused. It belongs inevitably to a success- ful mother; almost as surely to a successful wife. It needs no proclamation by trumpet blast or by printed placard. It is known by its work, and therefore is quite likely to pass unrecognized save in its peculiar sphere of influence. We do not mean to hold that greatness in a woman is incompatible with fame. Every day would furnish contradiction to a claim such as that. It happens that Mrs. Mary Virginia Ter- hune, who died Saturday, after surviving genera- tions to which she was known as Marion Harland, had greatness both in the eyes of home and in the praise of the world outside. Speaking generally, any eminence attained in the sight of the crowd affords points for dispute. Not every observer will see it the same way. That is why the league's 12 names for the Chilian will form only a tenta- street faker does business from a suit-case-sized| tive list at the best. The finer greatness is known stand, cramped in a business district nook or a side-street gutter.

Ben came lopping up, bowing and scraping and wiggling his ears joy- fully. “Just in time for lunch, my dears,” said he. “And say, that Blossom here is some cook.” Mrs. Blossom blushed on her pink nose and looked produly at her hus- band, “Yes, but I’ve a good provider,” she declared. “Ben brings home the nicest things.” « “Depends upon the time of year, my dears,” said Ben importantly. “Lettuce and radish tops and new- pea shoots are at their best just now. Um yum! Bossom can make a salad that would melt in your mouth. But thore, come in and find out for your- selves.” Ben bowed them in arid set chairs and Blossom brought in the food, , That was the ‘time for the Twins ‘to tell how they wishell' they could tind poor old Peerabout and take him home.

The Selznick company of motion pic- ture players invaded the village of Montauk about thirty strohg for the purpose of making many of the im- portant scenes in this new “photoplay nnd before the scenes were completed the village was turned almost inside out. The company included, Mr. Tearle, Director Alan Crosland, a battery of cameramen, technical experts and the supporting cast which includes Doris Kenyon, Crawford Kent, J. Barney Sherry, Arthur Housman, Jack Dru- mier and others of prominence. Prac- tically all the scenes were taken on the sand dunes and cliffs of the island away out near the lighthouse. As is indicated by the title, “Shadows of the Sea” is chock full of maritime scenes, The location work at Mon- tauk Point was followed by interest. ing scenes taken on ocean-going ves- sels off the Atlantic seaboard. “Shadows of the Sea” is an adven- ture story written by Frank Dazey:: Love and romance play ah importanto} | part_in the picture ‘but the outstand- ‘ling ‘feature’ of ‘the production is the SENDS INNOCENT MAN TO. DEATH! By Alexander Herman Nearly 4000 men have been execut- ed in this country since 1890. Appro- ximately a hundred more will go to their deaths this year. Will there be any innorent victims of law among them? ‘Will there be another Blue Horse Tavern case? ’ Late one autumn afternoon a number of men were gathered in the bar-room of the famous Blue Horse ‘Tavern—the gayest place _ between Albany and Schenectady, N.Y... Two of the heaviest drinkers, ‘Wick- liffe and Blake, got into a-quarrel. It started over a trifle, but ended in a scuffle. Cooler heads intervened and Wick- liffe left the place. \ Turning at the door, he shouted to Blake: “My boy, you may take your mea- sure for a coffin. After this, you will need one.” Everyone heard him and laughed. After a few more rounds of drinks, the party began to break up. Blake started for home. He lived on the same road as Wickliffe about five miles from the tavern. Knife in Hand Several others went ingthe same direction. They were lagging behind when they ‘suddenly -heard a loud cry. Gal- loping on they soon came: -*across Blake kneeling by the side of: Wick- liffe—murdered! : In Blake’s hand was knife. . . e He was arrested and charged, with: the murder of his friend. At the trial, Blake testified that he had found the body: of- Wickliffe, with a knife“plunged into his breast. In horror, he screamed for help, ‘pulled a blood; IN BLAKE'S HAND WAS A BLOODY KNIFE, out the weavon in order to-stop the flow of blood. He did not know who had committed the murder, but he was sure that he had not. Reach. Verdict The jury, without’ leaving their seats, returned a verdict of “guilty.” Blake was executed. 5 Three months later, the judge who presided at the murder trial’and the principal witness’ for the state: were called to the county jail. A prisoner under ‘sentence of death wanted to see them. He made.a full confession, He told how he had held up Wick- liffe, killed him when he struggled, and established-beyond a doubt that Blake was an innocent victim of the law. Fe rapid-fire action that is noticeable from the first scene to the last. My. Tearle, in the role of a young soldicr fortune whose principal occupation ‘he foiling of maritime laws, is said to enact: one of the best roles of his aventful career. Making The Old Young, Was Tried 3,000 Years Ago Chicago, June 19,—The restoration of youth to the aged, attempted re- xently by means of animal glands, was also attempted at least 3,000 years ago, according to Dr. James H. Brea- sted of the University of Chicago. An “Incantation of Transforming an Old Man into a Youth of Twenty” is set forth_in the Edwin Smith papyrus, the Egyptian document which - Dr. Breasted has declared contains un- paralleled evidence of advanced know- ledge and scientific spirit on the part of Egyptian physicians of 1800 B.'C. or earlier. The incantation, on ‘the contrary, he said, is characterized by reliance on hocus-pocus. Dr. Breasted’s ~~ thecry is that an extraordinary book on surgery and external medicine fell into the hands of a quack who was more interested in charms for mak- ing old men young, and who had the incongruous texts combined in . the same roll. Thus in the papyrus magi- cal formulea jostle an exposition of delicate surgical operations ‘hereto- fore believed to be decidedly modern. The handwriting indicates that it was probably written about 1800 B. C. and it is thought to be a copy.of a manuscript that is at least a thous- and years older. The original may have been written as early as 3400 B. G, it is thought by some of the words which appear in the manus- eript and which were long out of vogue in 1800 B. C. The manuscript also contains “The Incantaation of Expelling the Wind of the Year of Pest.” This shows the widely prevalent notion which has persisted to the present day that the winds catry malignant plagues. The last two parts of the papyrus are written in a very different handwrit- ing from the front page.

His treatment “should” be' ‘sitting, ‘placed between iwo supports of’ brick, datil you know whether he is making any progress.” 2 Case eight deals with “a fracture of the skull under the skin.” ‘The surgeon is told to operate, to open at the point of contusion, and “to ele- vate the depression outward.” It is possible trephining is involved here; if so, it is the earliest mention of it in history int ‘or a cut in.the;forehead, physi- cians skin, a kind “of” linen bandage; is to be used or a double bandage ap- plied so as to cause “the lips of the wound to join one another.” A big wheat crop is predic it with flour.
