It is a good time for such a gathering. The election is over. Per- sonal animosities must be buried. Bismarck must go ahead for go back. If the city is to go ahead there must be some ,agency through which the entire resources of the city and ,citizens can be mobilized into one driving force for the gen- ieral good. The Commercial club is being started anew. A inew organization is being builded from the ground up. There ought to be only one answer to the call from rogressive Bismarck citizens. And‘that is—“LET’S GO.” ANOTHER PIONEER PASSES 3) In the passing of United States Circuit Court Judge John jE. -Carland another pioneer of western North Dakota ‘has passed to his reward. Not many living in Bismarck and in other parts of western North Dakota know of the service which he rendered the state. But the pioneers who braved h the hardships of early days with \him: well remember his indefatigable efforts for the city and the state. uy _ As one of the first mayors of Bismarck, a United States district court judge and chairman of the judiciary committee of ‘the constitutional convention helped mould the laws of : the territory and the state. The life story: of Judge Carland is one of an eastern boy who found his opportunity. in the rugged west. He graduated from the University of Michigan ind, began the practice of law, in Detroit, Mich., later coming} to=Bisn ck, his father being stationed at‘ old: Fort Lincoln. | Taking an active interest in the affairs of the city, he became icity atton ney, mayor, United'States District’ Attorney. for the _territory, United States District judge for the territory, | which position he resigned to seek a place in the constitu- ; tional convention; was again’ appointed United States. Dis- strict Judge, then to the court of commerce and finally to the ‘United States Circuit Court of; Appeals, se¢ond in’ import- ance to the United. States. supreme court. nee _ Judge Carland was’ known as a lawyer of high standing, ‘a fair and upright judge, a fearless and active citizen. Let none of the younger generation forget the fortitude and the H us Pees of the pioneers who made possible the west as | itzis today. t; $ i 4D 3 A F [ages WHY WASTE THE WINTER? i The other day a couple moved back to Kidder county from } Towa because they could not endure the uncomfortable cli- mate of that state,, Recently a North Dakota man in “sunny | California” got so lonesome for sight of the sun that he sat down and wrote a poem about North Dakota, the “Sunshine State.” At Saranac Lake, N. Y,, Montreal and other cities hotel keepers entertain great crotvds of people from other yparts of the country who flock there to participate in de- ghtful winter sports. — |. | Why waste the winter in North Dakota? There is no | place where the sun shines more or where the climate is more | invigorating and bracing. With the gently'sloping hills about | the city and the fair certainty of weather unbroken for a considerable period by disagreeable thaws there is every opportunity for winter sports in Bismarck. | —-¥ would be well for various organizations and for the city: | authorities to give some attention to a program designed’ to i get as many people out of doors.

Price, president of a candy company, | in-St. Louis. g \ . “Where a salesman would entertain a customer with |rcunds of high-balls in the days before prohibition, he ngw | is establishing friendly relations on the golf course.” ‘ _ Deaths from heart failure, due to over-exertion by middle- | ,aged men on the golf course, are increasing so rapidly that} it may not be long until golf will be as deadly as J. Barleycorn in killing the people who have developed a craving for it. “Will golf, too, be prohibited by a future Volstead? | a \ nee ARRESTED ; i | _-The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment | digs up this interesting information: In 56 cities, 1,464,296 arrests were made last year. The population of these cities} } totaled 22,000,,000. This means, one person in each 15 ar-| { rested in one year, or one for each three families. | + —Suchia condition of lawlessness is certainly a more import- jant.problem than alcoholic thirst. | \ Arrests for drunkenness and disorderly conduct were 843,665, or nearly a fourth of the total of all arrests. The disorderly ‘culprits, of course, were not all drunk. ‘ i : PAY. Wages of male farm laborers average $28.97 and board di poh, reports Department of Agriculture, $41.58 without) oard. | City men can make interesting comparisons of their in- comes with farmhands’. Farm employers also have been in a bad way. Their pro-| fits in 1920 ayeraged only $186 apiece, says James R. How-| prd, president of American Farm Bureau Federation.

Jonquelle, “But. the Marquis reminded For neau: that the person comimitti this robbery had brought with him piece’ of paper from the basement, that mere thieves éntering on the chance of finding some valuables would not have taken this precau- tion. “This theory pleased/Forneau, and he adopted every excellent, spgges- tion which the Marquis was Able io make, But he ventured to wonder. able to, obtain the combination ot the safe since it was known only to Mme. la Marquise. ‘Sh “The Marquis was again able to indicate a valuable suggestion. Wemen, he ventured to suggest; had always the same habits. They did not trust their memories for any- thing that required an accuracy of numbers. The Marquise would have somewhere this memorandum written down. He siggested that Forneau “To their surprise they found the lock to the drawers lof this’ table broken,. and among some papers hastily turned over, at the back of one of these drawers, ‘a small book withsared leather cover. On the last ~page, in pencil, was precisely the same memorandum which the Marquis had picked up on the shp of ‘paper under the \door—the com- bination to the safe of the/ Mar- uisé de Chantelle,’ and following, the four columns of four figures. “Phe problem. which now presen’ ed itself.'was to discover what em- ploye in the builing could have written’ this memorandum. Forneau andthe Marquis had, before them thechandwriting. With the histories and, -asgociates of the valet, the conpierge and ,the older employes they..were fambliar. and were con- vineed that it was not one of these ployes. in this ‘apartment, and the problem was how to obtain speci- mens:of. their. handwriting without \ineurring: suspicion. In his’ per- | plexity, Forneau asked the opinion of the Marquis de Chantelle. “The Marquis suggested the fol- lowing lever device: The Service ide la Surete should send an agent to the building pretending to be an | official of the government concerned ith “certain mental tests required, in order to register citizens for, the | electorate.

Monsieur le Marquis de Chantelle was looking at her,jone hand finger- ing his mustache, the other turning the monocle, at ‘the end of the silk cord. The Prefect of Police did not interrupt. the absorption, but he continued to speak: “And ag it happened,” he: said, “it was. the ingenuity of this device, suggested by, the Marquis de Chan- telle that enabled Forneau to locate the one who had committed the rob- bery.

The agent seized him at once, snapped a pair of handeufts ‘on him and confronted him with For- neau. He was shown the slip of pa- per which the Marquis had picked. up in his; apartment.

Jonquelle, watching, the Mar-, | quis, took a box of cigarets out of* \his pocket and slipped this thumb- jnail’ around the stamp, but he did not open the box. He spoke sudden- jly to the Marquis ge Chantelle; his voice was sharp, clear, and its tones arrested the man’s attention, i “Monsieur, le Magquis,” he said, “Mme. Zirtenzoff will not be | pleased with her bouquet of-orchids.” | .The Marquis turned suddenly on ihim; his. eyes were now~ contracted with an intense expression, “You know, monsieur, that I have sent a bouquet of orchids to Mme. Zirtenzoff?” ‘Surely, monsieus,” replied _ the Prefect of Police. “I passed the boy departing with them’ when I entered. They were very lovely, superb, ex- quisite, the Mottled Butterfly! How aptly adapted is that flower to Mon- sieur le. Marquis!” The Marquis continued to regard him, “And why, monsieur, do you com- ‘pare me with this variety of orchid?” “If you will tell me, Monsieur Je | Marquis,” réplied the Prefect of | Police, “why Jean Lequex refused \to say where the necklace was that lhe had stolen, I will answer your question.” The hauteur in the Marquis’ voice was now distinctly audible. | “Monsieur,” he said, “it was you | who promised to tell me that.” | “and I shall tell” you,” replied Jonquelle. “Jean Lequex refused to say where the necklace was for the very good reason that he did not know where it was.” \ M. Jonquelle looked the Marquis steadily in the face. “The agent of the Surete neglected ‘to mention: to monsieur an item ‘or two of their discoveries; the writing ‘onthe slip of paper had been mady with the left hand; and the con- cierge, as it happened, seeing the | Marquis-Chantelle go out leaving his | door ajar, closed it. “Ah, monsieur, we have been en- gaged in a’ bit.of comedy. Pardon lus if we have deceived you. . . - It was I who conducted the investi- gation of your affair, disguised as Forneau; and it was the agent For- neau disguised as Jean Lequex who l confessed to your robbery and took a mock sentence of imprisonmert under an arrangement with the court. . . We did not find, then, the thief who-opened the) safe to your apartment.” The Marquis regarde@ the Prefect of Police with an amazed expres- sion, his lips parted, his eyes wide. “Then, monsieur,”, he stammere¢, “you have discovered neither the thief nor the necklace.” # “Ah, yes,” replied) M.- Jonquelte in the modulated voice of one who bids another adieu. “We have dis- covered . both.” iM He took a mass of jewels out ot his waistcoat pocket and - handed ithem to the Marquis. “[ found these in the bouquet of orchids which you. were sending to Mme.
