STATE'S: OLDEST /NEWS- PER PAPE (Established 1873) |. TELLING THE WORLD 2 Did you ever stop to think what in or near Bismarck interests the! tliousands of tourists who pass !“Monkeys branched off from anthropologist, says: “There is no proof that man is deseendéd—I should say, ascended—from the anthrapoids. Man and the ape are by any means. They have a com- mon ancestor.” To some extent, that should pacify Bryan, But he will start up again when he hears that Hooton adds: the common stem. of the human family many years ago. In fact, the esti- mate of the ‘Gibbon’s and the Siamang’s origin places him at 1,200,000 years ago.” : Bryan believes everything began about 5000 years ago. from the gas before it starts through the pipes to consumers. | The gas companies’ engincers say that this docs not materially reduce ‘distant cousins, not father and son the heating power of the gas.

What are you most afraid of ? May- be your supreme dread is poverty.| Or it may be a loaded gun. Or a cer- tain disease. Frequently fear enters unexplain- ably on some simple thing that has) little or nothing in it to excite ter- ror. ‘ Brave Julius Caesar shook and chattered at lightning. He fled to the dark depths of caves when storms gathered. ‘ Alexander the Great was deathly afraid of cats. The sight of a harm- less, purring pussy caused him to throw fits. . Fear, of all kinds, is believed by scientists to be due to chemical ab normalities of the adrenal glands, small capsules attached to the kid- neys. The adrenals of some people, ract through the city annually? Most of them, of course, visit the state capitol, if they spend any time in the city. There they show great interest in the historical society's museum, particularly in the Indian} collection. The greatest “attraction “of | all, probably, is the Theodore Roose- velt cabin, The great, fertile prairies excite wonderment in the’ minds of an east- erner and perhaps are viewed in a more practical manner by those from the west. Questions often are asked about the lignite coal beds. It is the duty of every Bismarck citizen who believes in his city and his community—and if he does not he lacks faith in himself since he and his fellow men make the com- munity—to aid tourists in locating points of interest, to know them and; to explain them courteously and, fully: ° The citizens of |Bismarck have a fine opportunity each year to spread | information about the opportunities | of North Dakota. They should em- brace every such opportunity. * | ~A few months ago it was suggest- ed that Bismarck. ought to celebrate her fiftieth anniversary at the time} of dedication of the bridge. The city/ of Minot can only celebrate its for- tieth anniversary this year, but the | people of that city are doing it with| vim and spirit. - Engineers of Bismarek have begun a.movement to restore anvold Indian village near Bismarck. It is a splen-| did move and the restored village! would be a great attraction to visit-| ors as well as awakening our .own| interest in the early history: of: the| Dakotas. The Roosevelt cabin was long, ne- glected, but thanks to the Daughters | of the American Revolution it is be-| ing restored and will be preserved, ‘There are many points of histori-| cal as well as practical interest i and near Bismarck.

He laughs at. the clowns, feeds pea- nuts to the elephants, applauds the, hair-raising acrobatic acts, and buys | pink lemonade and “hot dogs.” All around, it is a complete circus day, even to his daughter-in-law hav-| ing her tintype taken on the Midway. | “It brought back memories of boy-! hood days,” said John D. And it probably is a safe bet that he had the best time on circus day that he’ had had in a year, though the diversion was of. the inexpensive | sort. within the means of the man! who can count the dollars of his weekly pay envelope on his finger: The greatest joys of life, for-rich or poor, involve simple things. And our greatest pleasures are inexpen- sive; Money is desirable, but it is not everything. This may be platitu- dinous. Most platitudes, however, are true and philosophical. -The_mob that followed John D.! about the circus was most interested in the, dimes he gave to :200 of the! fun-producers. Observe his system—only one dime to @ach person, and always a bright,| spanking-new dime, fresh from the} mint, John D, always carries a pocketful of dimes—and never appears in pub- | lie=without distributing some of them. { He is rich enough to distribute $5) gold nieces. They, however, would bej quickly spent. He is shrewd enough to know that nearly every one would save a dime from the world’s richest man;ias a “lucky piece.” ~ | In his unique psychological way, Rockefeller is trying to impress the public with the value of the humble dime. Pennies might be hurled back at him in derision. But none except, } grinen men ever threw away a! ime, Probably John D. js like the rest of us, and would spend dollars, of time trying to recover a dime lost! through a sidewalk grating. | ¥ou see Rockefeller, with his dimes, spreading the wisdom of thrift with, all the ‘cunning theatrical in- stirnct of Phineas T. Barnum. After all, it was thrift that gave! him his start, back in the day when he was a bookkeeper toiling for $35 a fignth. He Icarned to handle dimes before he was able to handle dollars. So} did Henry Ford. when he was a ma- chinist. So did Schwab, when he was a déy-worker in the steel mills. Gomfortable financial independ- ence is a matter of plain old-fash- ioned thrift, though expanding the modest fortune to a gigantic fortune depends on ability and chance.

Take your choice of the two. No matter which you select, you will find scientists ready to back you up. This much is certain—that the will power can be called into play as a brake on the emotions, especially anger. : People who are subject to, out- bursts of temper should know. that giving way to these emotional “im- pulses literally tears their health to pieces. Anger wrecks the nervesy strains: the heart, upscts the diges- tion. x A fit of anger shortens life. A great deal is being written these days about the, adrenals. and other endocrine glands. It. is important 5 jot accept gland- ular theories as an‘alibi for personal deficiencies’ such as anger. That is, the easy way, for it isshuman nature to seek an alibi as an excuse for in- dividual defects, Meet your glands halfway. Keep the body and emotions under the control of will power, as. much as possible. Barring geniuses, the glands constantly are trying to be normal. The mindvhas definite powers in as- sisting them to-perform normally. CRO-MAGNONS Hooton, Harvard anthropologist, says; “The Cro-Magnon people, who dominated the world about 12,000 to 9000 B. C., were perhaps one of the finest races the .world has ever seen, deeply religious, artistic and greatly superior in brain capacity to the modern Europeans, “Their tribal development and Yabor distribution were quite com- lex, and their commerce extended from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and from Germany: and Austria to England and France.” It will surprise many, that science; has pieced out human history as far back as 14,000 years.

Dated 1783, it is a bill rendered by~ one John Cape “To a dinner given by) His. Excellency the Governor Council to their Excellencies Minister of France Washington & Co.” The bill was around $750 for the 120-plate banquet. Items: include 135 bottles of Mrderia wine. 36 bottles port, 60 bottles beer, 30 bowls of punch. A charge of about $35 is made for “60 wine glasses and cight Cutt decanters broken.” and; the and General Maybe this explains why the past, Without regard for the opinions of) made a |is'so frequently referred to as “the | those who are members of that of- good old days.” REPAIRS Are you having any repairs done around your home this spring? s Research’ Associa- mates that home-owners this 1 spend over half a billion dollars for. replacing’ sheet metal work, including eaves-troughs and the like.

MOVIES Worst influence of_the movies is not the “sex stuff” or the way criminals frequently are held up as master minds, exciting admiration among the imitative younr. All these are bad enough, granted. But the worst of the bad examples broadcasted by the movies is por- traying a dissipated rich man’s son as a hero. The maioritv of filmland heroes would be kicked out of) the average decent home. Horatio Alger might . have been Platitudinous and bromidic.

They are presented here in order that || our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day, COAL AND THE NORTHWEST One of the most ominous features lof the situation is that up to the ‘date of. the latest available report the amount of coal which had been lcarried by the railways to the Lake Erie ports and thence by water to ithe head of the lakes to supply the !needs of the northwest was only about 3,000,000 tons, At this time ilast year the amount of coal that had been dumped at the head of the lakes exceeded 8,000,0000 tons. If the | tion from 25,000,000 to 30,009,000 |tons of coal; and’ alréady ‘the dump! ings at the head of the lakes "are BUSINESS GROWS IN FACE OF TROUBLES | “Continued expansion of the coun- try’s activities in the face of the coal strike and other actual and contem- plated lubor tieups gives additiona strength to the opinion that industry, | and agricultur business are now in a primary forward movement,” says the Collins Forecast. The article, printed in The Tribune by courtesy of the Bismarck bank, continues: “May pig iron production was the largest monthly output since January, | 1921, Steel ingot production was. the largest in cighteen jnonths. Cotton manufacture showed an increase of more than 10 per cent over the,pre- vious month. Automobile production attained a new high record, and? so did building construction. Stceks of metals, notably copper, zine andjedd, on hand at the end of the war have been thoroughly liquidated and’ pro- duction has revived with a whole- some recovery of prices. The world- wide casing of moncy, particularly the ,Bank of England’s cut, .in ‘dis- count rate to 31-2 per cent, reflécts the confidence of strong interests in the European outlook. “It is believed that present coal stocks and current production will prove sufficient until early fall. The drop in prices was attributed to the July 1 freight cut and government supervision of prices. The crisis in the situation is expected to come about the middle of July and as it is apparent’ that the strike is becoming more kind inore of a contest between the operators and the union. chiefs, jway Age. “WHAT WILL HE SEE? | Rip Van Winklé slept for twenty lyears in the Catgkills, and when he | returned to his native village he found ven his dog’ di t recognize him.

Ow, Oh, Ouch?” Marty Mink.was yelling when Dr. Snuffles and.;.the Twins’ knocked on his front door. “Doctor? S-c-come on in.” : The three of them walked into Marty’s muddy hallway. Marty, you know, lives on the bank of Ripple Greek, or rather in it. Before Nancy had time to close the door, Phil Frog put his toe in ‘the crack, “Hey!” he ered. “You don’t mind if I come, too, do you?” “What do you want to come for, Philip?” asked Nick. “Of course, you're safe as long as Marty has a fish-bone’ in“his throat because he can’t eat anything. ! “But he hasn’t had, a meal for ‘hours and hours, and the minute Dr. Snuffles pulls out the fish-bone Mar- ty will begin to look for something to eat. And he likes frogs better} than anything.” Phil grinned. ‘ “Yes, that’s so,” he agreed. “But Vm'curious. ‘T’d like to see how you pull out fish-bones.” “Well, come along then,” said Nick. “Qwy'ah, ouch,” moaned: Marty.

He | pressed Dave‘and the boy to drink with them, but Dave laughingly de- clined and took the lad up!to their rgom. Below they could hear Hugh’s merriment going:on, and when Hugh came upstairs a while later his face was flushed. With him came a youth of his own age with daredevil eyes and a suave manner, one Dane Grey,, to whom Harry gave scant greet- ing. One patronizing look frem the} stranger toward the Kentucky boy ‘and within the latter a fire of an- tagonism was instantly kindled. With a word after the two went out, Harry snorted his explanation: “Tory!” That morning news came from New England that set the town a-quiver., England’s answer to the, Boston téa-party had been the clos- ing of Boston harbor. In the House of: Burgesses, the news was met with} a burst of indignation. In the middle | of the afternoon my lord’s coach! swung from his great yard and made for tne capitol —my lord erect and haughty, his lips set with the resolu- tion to crush the spirit of the rebel- lion. It was a notable scene, for Nicho- las, Bland, Lee, Harrison, Pendleton Henry, Jefferson and Washington wore there, The Burgesses were to ‘give a great ball in hi’ honor that very night, and’ now he was come to dis- solve them. And dissolve them he did. They bowed gravely and with no protest. Shaking with anger my lord Stalked to his coach and six while they repaired to the Appollo Room to prohibit the use of tea and propose a general congress of thei colonies. ‘And that ball came to pass. Haughty hosts received their haughty guest with the finest and gravest courtesy, bent low over my lady’s hand, danced with her daugh; ters, and wrung from my lord’s re- luctant lips the one gruding word| of comment: “Gentlemen!” The . two backwoodsmen were dazzled by the brilliance of it all, for the boy had stood with Barbara, who had been allowed to look on for a while. Before ‘Barbara was sent home Hugh and Dane Grey came in with an exaggeration of dignity and po- liteness that fooled few others than themselves. Hugh, catching .

The dazed boy obeyed and Dave led him upstairs. VUL started back to Red Oakes, Erskine felt a difference in the atmosphere that made him uneasy. Barbara alone seemed unchanged, and he was quick to guess that she had not been told of the incident. Dave had made no explanation or excuse for his young friend, but he be wise to offer the best extenuation: That the lad knew no better, had not yet had the chance to learn, and on the rage of impulse had acted just as he would have done among the Indians, whose code alone he knew, ‘ ‘The matter came to a head shortly after their arrival. The boy was standing behind the box-hedge near the steps and Barbara had just ap- peared in the doorway. , “Well, what was the trouble?” Colonel Dale asked. “He tried to stab Grey unarmed and without warning,” said Hugh shortly. At the mbment, the boy caught sight of Barbara.. Her syes, filled | with scorn, met his in one long,| sad, withering look, and she turned noise- lessly back into the house. He knew at last what he had done. Nothing was said to’ him when he came to the house and that night he scarcely opened his lips. In silence ‘he went to bed and next morning he was gone. é The mystery was explained when Barbara told how the boy, too, must have overheard Hugh. “He’s hurt,” said Dave, “and he’s gone home,” “Why, he'll starve.” “He-could get. there on roots and herbs and wild honey, but hell have fresh meat every day. Still, I’ll have to try and overtake him.” He went to get ready for the journey. Ten minutes later Hugh and Harry rushed joyously to his room. “We're going with you!” they cried, and Dave was greatly pleased. An hour later all were ready, and at the Jast moment Firefly was led in, saddled and bridled, and with a lead- ing halter around, his neck. “Harry,” said Colonel Dale, “carry your dousin my apologies and give him Firefly on condition that he ride home''is*his”—the speaker’. halted, Aut went on gravely and firmly — “whenever he pleases.” “And give him my love,” said Bar- bara, holding back her tears. At that hour the boy far over in the wilderness ahead of them had cooked a squirrel that he had shot for his breakfast and was gnawing it to the bones. Soon he rose, and at a trot sped on toward his) home be~ yond the Cumberland. And. with him, etched with acid on the steel of chis_ brain, sped two images — Bar- bara’s face as he last saw it and the face of young Dane Grey.
