The directors of the club resigned in a body to give the repre- sentatives of the. American City Bureau a free road, but of course of volunteering their services in any way.in which they may help. The reorganization is to be undertaken on a broad plan. democratic, each member to have a vote, and that the mem- bership fee in cach casé shall be the same, although one man may take out several memberships and distribtue them among the members of his firm or institution. The plan has the double-barreled effect/ of bringing into the Commercial club a. greater number of persons and of insuring that the membership shall control its elections through the ‘secret ballot. That a civic and commercial body which shall be the vancement of the business interests of all, for the promotion of civic enterprises and expansion of the activities of the city, is a necessity is not denied. The great problem is to enlist enoughtcitizens-in the community in a whole-hearted, ‘unselfish support of the business and welfare of all. Bis- ‘marck must make strides in the next two years or go back. The development of western North Dakota and the bridge put the matter squarely before the business men, large and small. # It is to be hoped that citizens will enlist themselves n the new plan for the Commercial club, and that out of it ‘may grow a mediuth which shall prove of inestimable value ‘in furthering the interests of the capital city. “ALL IN THE MIND” ; :Heat your house for nothing by the Simg’Sing method: This fsmous prison decided to conserve coal by shutting off thé heat in daytime. A mighty howl went up from the inmates. = “Too cold to work,” they complained. ~ One of the prison engineers didn’t agree.

A bandage was over his eyes. Sur- geons ran a sharp icicle along the skin near his heart, then exclaimed that they had ‘cut an artery. Warm water was allowed to trickle down his side. < j : The patient died on the operating table, in the belief that he was bleeding to death. Imagination killed him. The London surgical case and the “psychological heat” at Sing Sing suggest that a good many of our aches, pains and troubles are largely imaginary, maybe entirely so.

Heretofore a blood clot usually meant gangrene and emputation of arm or leg. } WESTWARD 3 Exports from our Pacific Coast ports have increased 132 per cent in the last eight years. The gain at Atlantic Coast ports was only 45 per cent. The Panama Canal has a lot to do with this, cutting into transcontiental railroad hauls. 4 More important, our foreign trade is gradually swinging westward. Our export future is in the orient, not Europe. Re PASSING Europe, in the hands of cranky old men, continues run- ning in a circle. We live too close to the situation to grasp | what is back of it. The perspective of time may eventually show that Europe, right now ,is in the middle stages of the decay of its civilization. Will it pass like Rome, Babylon and the empire of Geng, his Khan?.

Already the. few small clouds. overhead were edged with fiery rose. Then, of a sudden, a shaft of flame played over the forest. The sun had risen. Hastening, she searched the soft path for any imprint of her father’s foot. And even in the vain search she hopéd to find him at home— hurried on. burdened with two rifles and a pack, still all nervous and ssed Quintana in Drowned | Valley he would not linger in that ‘ghastly place; he’d come home, cail in his men, take counsel perhans— | "Mist over Star Pond was dis-' solving to a golden powder in the! inside were all on fire.

There had been no frost after all—or, at most, merely a white trace in the shadow nm a fallen plank here and there Sut not enough to freeze the ground. And, in the sunshine, it all quickly turned to dew, and glis- tered and sparkled in a million hues and tints likegems—like that hand- ful of jewels she, had poured into her father’s joined day—there at the ghostly edge of Drowned Valley. At the memory, and quite me- chanically, she turned in her ‘chair and, drew Quintana’s. basket back toward her. “First she lifted out amined it, set it against the window: Then, one by one, she drew out ded; the murderous Spa ; an ax; a fry- pan and a tin pail, and the rolled-up mackinav.

The cartridge boxes she piled up on the table; the food she tossed into a tin swill bucket. About the éffects of this man it seemed to her as though somethin; unclean lingered. She could scarce- ly bear to handle them—threw them from her with disgust. The garment; also—the ; heavy brown and green mackinaw—she dis- liked to touch.

Willys-Overland Maintains Price ‘Reduction Lead With price cuts totalling 49 per cent since the-peak figures of 191 20 the .Willys-Overland Company maintains the lead ,in price reduc- tions ‘on its various models. This was the statistical informa- tion sent out from the nations bus- iness centers during the past week in the following New York dispatch: “Reductions made ‘on’ the various low-priced cars from the peak fig- ures of 1919-1920 are: Overland, 49 ver éent; Ford, 48 per cent; Chevro- let 36 per cent; Dodge Bros, 31- perj cent, and Maxwell, 23 per cent.” Qn August 1, 192, Overland prices veached their highest point.

This was soon after reduced to $895, The biggest slash ever made at one stroke on a popular-priced cir, a cut that staggered the automobile indus-, try at the time, was the announce- ment on Junc, 1924, that Overland would in future sell at $695, a geduc- tion of $200. : By this move John N. Willys, pres- ident of The Willys-Overland Com- pany, recognizing the fact that mucn lower prices had to come to fit the rublie’s purse, blazed the way to rock bottom figures. Still another cut occurred on Aug. 2, 1921, Overlands being reduced to $595, at which price they remained unt'l last spring when Willys-Over- land reduced to $550 and again last August to $525. : The history of the present Willys- Knight price of $1,235, from its peak figure of $2,300 is one equally start- ling and is further convincing proof of the foresight of-The Willys-Over- land Company, in recognizing the ueed of such price readjustments to meet, the-altered economic conditions. “The best feature of tlie series af price cuts is that we have been cble to make these without the sacri- fice of quality in our product,” com- mented W.
