Daily by mail, outside of North Dakota STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) THE IMETHING FOR NOTHING A scheme for getting rich quickly occurred to Rafael Gonzales, of Orizaba, Mexio. He wrote polite and business- Sunday copies to be sent regularly. The fishing was good, for Gonzales promised to remit $100 upon receipt of the first shipment of papers. The idea of building up big circulation in Mexico naturally appealed fo ambitious publishers. Maybe some of them wondered how many Mexicans could real at all, let alone read Eng- ish print. Hi The postoffice inspectors in Washington, D. C., have is- ued a fraud order against Gonzales, barring him from the nails. But Gonzales apparently got what he was after, for the {ficial announcement; from the inspectors says: “Senor ponzales has thus obtdined large quantities of American ‘ewspapers for which~he paid nothing and has doubtless ‘alized no small revenue through their sales as wrapping aper.”” Latel\; there has been a yegular epidemic of frauds worked on Americans by swindlers in foreign countries using our mails. In the particular case of Gonzales, it occurs to you that a man of his ingenuity was wasting his time on a waste paper swindle. The same cleverness, applied to an honest and useful proposition, would make him increasingly rich. The criminal mind, however, seems to have a peculiar warp that makes the getting of wealth by crooked means seem the easiest way. On the law of averages, it is easier to get rich honestly than dishonestly. You can picture Gonzales, sitting around for months or even years, rolling shuck cigarets and running his resource- ful brain highsspeed until he figured out his scheme. It is almost astounding, the extent to which the human brain will resort to get something for nothing. In other words, to “get by” without honest, useful endeavor. It is true of swindlers. And it is true of most of us, espe- cially the swindler’s victims. Wasting so much time, trying to get something for nothing, is what keeps many people poor, There’s not enough time left for really productive effort. Day-dreams, unless curbed within reasonable bounds, have the same effect as chloroform. END - The world will come to an end Dec. 12, 1954, predicts Father Genaro Rivera, Mexican monk and astronomer. He figured out the exact date by years of very complicated = study of the stars through his telescope. making quite a sensation in Mexico. 3 The end of the world has been predicted more times than you have hairs on your head, but the world still goes along = as usual. One of these days man will be able to understand the * fourth dimension. Then our material universe—as we “see” it now, a three-dimensional existence—will undergo such a = transformation, in our comprehension of it, that it in effect | will “come to an end.” Einstein is a voice in the wilderness. Unexplainable psychic manifestations are fourth dimen- sional phenomena. ; GOLD ' Gold continues to flow into India, at the rate of more than . three million dollars'a week. In the last 57 years India has * imported nearly three and a half billion dollars worth of gold and silver. ‘ What becomes of this precious metal, is one of the great mysteries of world finance. Much of it is hidden—buried. If it were put to work, circulating from hand to hand in the form of credit, India would have less poverty. A lot of us have the same form of insanity—fighting to get: gold for : itself alone, rather than the good ‘the gold might do. Just why people try to accumulate more wealth than they need, is a psychological riddle. ‘ FREAK An auto that will travel on féur legs instead of wheels!

F { “FIGGERS” ‘America imported 43,646,948 tons of goods from other. ‘eduntries, in the fiscal year ended last June 30. In the same ‘time, shipped abroad only 36,585,004 tons of exports.
