THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) GETTING RESULTS Conferences here with W. Irving Glove postmaster-general, were productive of results Promi vas made that additional carriers and clerks would he added io the present force so that service could be improved, Businessmen were a unit in their tribute to the courtesy of the local postoffice staff and they realized that any inade quacies in servige are due inthe main to lack of help. Con- | gress has trimméd postal appropriations most ruthlessly, often to swell strictly pork barrel grabs which from a vote standpoint are more important than building up the greatest government business in the world. Intrease in general business as well mail matter inci-| dent to state capital bu s akes it imperative that the federal government give additional postal facilities at this | point. Mr. Glover set the business men at rest when he promised more help fer the local office. There are other matters, however, whieh the Association of Commerce must work upon if Bismarck is to have its proper share of the trade in this section. There must be more star routes out of this city linking business more closely with the rural tions. The first drive should be made to link Bismarck with the Fort Yates| territory. Mail is now carried out to Terry, Mont., and then doubles back on the Milwaukee. It is only 60 miles to Fort Yates and there should be a mail stage route from Cannon | Rall to Fert Yates. There are other mail routes that can} be worked out so as to give the people of this city contact} with territory which naturally looks to this section as a base | of supply. The local postoffice also is working under handicaps for | lack of room. Since it was built, the city has grown and the state capital mail volume has doubled and_ trebbled. ‘Additions to the local building are necessary and it is be- lieved that if a proper showing is made of Bismarck’s needs, the government will respond. Hundreds of people are without the proper mail box facilities. Mail order houses in Bismarck which depend wholly upon the postoffice as a means of distribution .complain that there is not adequate space for them to expand their business and they frequently | Jose out in an uneven competitive combat with more favored cities from a postal service stand point, Committees to work out a postal expansion plan for Bis- marck should be named at once. It is one of the important} trade matters before Bismarck today. LET'S GO! + 6.00 third assistant | BOOM More pig iron was manufactured in our country during | May than in any month in history. May was the third con- secutive month to smash all records. Keep an eye on pig iron output. before general business goes to the bow-wows. The iron and steel make: re intuitive to the point of clairvoyance, They guess far ahead—and usually guess correctly. _ With May pig iron production smashing all records, even Of war-boom times, you have the very pleasant situation that when general business starts to slump again it will be tarried forward for considerable time by its own momentum. It takes about an eighth of a mile to stop the fastest and} heaviest express train after the brakes are thrown, a veteran | engineer tells us. So with business when it’s rushing top speed. : Advance notice cf a slump will be in plenty of time to} énable everybody to reach the cyclone cellar.

Women Enter All | Professions But One, Is Report} aa i When the First Annual Women’s; Activities Exhibit, given under the auspices of the New York League of Business and Professional Women. Inc, was presented in New York in 1922, it was said that almost every | occupation open to men had been suc- cessfully entergd by women. Not a single prize fighter, accord- ing to the presidént of the club, Mrs. was Jean Le Mar and a boxer of note walked into the office of the Women’s Activities Exhibit at 26 East 39th street and announced htat she had come to refute the charge that wo- men did not readily take to boxing. Moreover, she insisted that women should learn to box in order to main- | tain the perfect health necessary to 4 complete success in uny career. “Now all we want to find is a lady plumber,” says Mrs. Sears, who is f the Ex- “Last year we had about all the vocations represented except box- ing and plumbing. The lady boxer has appeared. If the lady plumber will onl step. forward and make her- self known, we will donate her a space in our Exhibit, free of charge. We understand that there are lady plumbers but we cannot seem to lay our finger of them.” The Second Annual Women’s Act- 24-29 of this year, finds even more women in unusual lines of business than last year. There are now, ac- cording to ity lists, women in’ the salvage business, in the rubbish gathering line, women machinists ga- lore and ig the road construction business. A feature of theycoming Exhibit will be a Transportation Section in which the influence of women in transportation lines will be shown. This will include railroad, steamship and auto transportation. N. D.

Persecution! Revenge! Hatred! I quarreled with this man, in France. He’s vindictive; he followed me interest in military affairs. Some- thing convinced those who ought to know that I possessed qualifications of unusual value to the country-- a wide business experience at home and abroad, a knowledge of lang- uages perhaps—anyhow, 1 was call- ed to Washington. There 1 met Henry Nelson—a valuable man, too, in his way, We were commissioned at the same time and sent overseas on the same ship to engage in the same work—military intelligence, I didn’t like the job, but it was con- sidered imp&tant, and naturally .1 couldn't pick and choose, Of course it was secret, confidential work.

We only borrowed on it, you might say—hypothecated it. We thought we were dealing with friends, but—Friends! — My God!” ‘The speaker seized his head. “The stock was not hypothecated. You sold it,’ Gray said, . quietly, “and we bought it in.” “It is all a personal grudge.” “Is that true, Mr. Gray?” Swope inquired. “Substantially. But I’m waiting for Colonel Nelson to tell you more; to tell you the whole story of: our antagonism.” Martin Murphy, who had been a silent onlooker up to this point, made himself heard, “Mr. Gray, I missioned together, technically, he outranked me owing to the fact that he was given his commission a mo- ment before I gov mine. “When we arrived in France I tackled my job with all the energy in me; I tried for results. Nelson, I discovered in time, was concerned only in taking entire credit for all that he and I and the whole organ- ization under us acomplished and in advancing himself. 1 worked; he played polities. 4 “I rebelled. I had to, or be made ridiculous. I warned him, privately, as'man to man. He ignored the warning. Then I prepared a com- plete report, showing by the copies of his orders, by the records of our respective accomplishments, by our correspondence, how he had em- atically and maliciously endeavored to nullify my work and—and the like. It was not a pretty report to read, I turned it in to him for sub- mission higher up. “Then it was that he outgeneral- ed me. He was furious, of course, but he apologized—abjectly. He ad- mitted that he had been wrong; that he had imposed upon me. He prom- ised to play fair if I'¢ permit him to withhold the report, and—I was deceived. “For a while we worked in han mony. -1 became engaged in an in tricate case, having to do with a leak concerning transport sailings and routes—a matter involving the lives of thousands of our boys—mil- lions of dollars in supplies, and I went to Brest, under cover, It had to be handled with extreme care— some danger about it, too. A very interesting case, I assure you. I lived in a house with some of the people under surveillance. One of them was a woman, extremely at- tractive—thoroughly unserupulowy My avenue of approach was through her. Nelson, of course, knew what I was doing; he was about the only one who did.

You say you paid high‘for your stock; do you in- tend to wreck the institution, lose 2 fortune—?” “I had ventured to hope that you three gentlemen would remain on the board.” “He doesn’t want the bank” Henry Nelson exclaimed, hoarsley. “That's all a bluff. He wants his price. How. much, Gray? What’ll it cost us?” - “Qh, there is a price for every- thing! Mine will surprise you, how- ever, it is so low. ‘Can't you guess what it is?” The speaker's. intent gaze had never left Henry Nelson's face; it was fixed there now, as cold as relentless as the stare of a python, Bell Nelson leaned ‘forward, his lips parted, a new eagerness came into his purple countenance. “Well, well! What is it?” he demanded, queruously. 4 “Vindication!” There was-a moment of silence. “what is he talking #bout, Henry?” Bell’s eyes were strained toward his in. “I don’t know,” the latter a thin voice. ‘He's’ crazy— was.” : “I'm giving you a ‘chance, Colonel. You'd better take.it. Think careful- ty.” When there came no response to this warning, Gray shrugged. “Very well! There is nothing fur- ther, except to complete the trans- fer and proceed with the business of the meeting. Mr. Briskow will be the next president, and ‘I shall. oc- cupy the position of vice president ‘and treaaurer now held :hy| you—” The effect of this declaration was electrie. With a cry the « younger Nelson lunged forward. . Confusion followed, It was of short duration, however, for Henry ‘found himself locked in’ the, arms of the Briskow giant.
