When the responsibility of building the mill was on the hands of the Nonpartisan League Industrial Commission political attacks were launched by the opposition. Now that the mill is being operated under the present administration, Nonpartisan league newspapers are begining an evident effort to make political capital out of the mill management for the next campaign. js é The manager, ©. E. Austin, with an eye to business, ac- cording to his explanation, bought a small quantity of Cana- dian wheat. The Nonpartisan League convention here, in one breath took the attitude that it should do nothing to interfere with good business administration of the mill and voted down an amendment to a resolution condemning this purchase. In the next breath after politicians saw the fatal error, politically, of condoning the purchase, the league con- vention adopted an amendment condemning the purchase. One proposal before the league convention was that Mr. Austin be highly praised and the board of managers be condemned, the idea of course being an effort to make poli- tical capital by declaring the administration was hampering Mr. Austin. Again the atittude of the body .was changed. ‘It struck from the resolution the praise of Mr! Austin and by condemning his purchase of Canadian wheat attacked both board and him. The same is true of the purchase of flour for state insti- tutions. Any purchases from other than the state mill are condemned, for political purposes, although there had been pledges on both sides that the mill wouud be conducted purely as a business insfitution, meeting all competitors squarely . on their own ground. The Grand Forks mill will be taken out of politics only when it is taken out of the state’s hands, The method of supervising the liquidation of closed banks of the state, as outlined by L. R. Baird, named gen- eral receiver in the state, is a step, in the righi direction Mr. Baird proposes to have district receivers, to employ col- lectors and other staff meh who may be shifted from one bank to another, or from one district of the state to another. He proposes, where there are two closed banks in one town, to administer them under one head. The general intent of the plan is to centralize the receivership business in the in- terest of both economy and efficiency. Too often receiverships leave only the walls of the build- ing of an institution standing. Mr. Baird’s plan offers hope that the greatest salvage possible will be made out of the situation. Cc OF LIVING Cost of living is higher than ever before in history, ac- cording to various leading organizations of economists. It merely means that the buying. power of the dollar has sagged. The brain of man—which conceived radio, X-ray and the aifplene (the three greatest inventions from an imaginative standpoint)—surely is capable of finding a way to stabilize the buying power of the dollar. That would put a stop to these habitual periods of soaring prices, alternat- ing in cycles with crashing prices. In other words, end the Yetation of excessive prosperity and excessive depression. The plain people would prefer a happy medium, constant. TIME FOR INVESTMENT Investment securities are “on the bargain counter at enormous and almost unparalleled returns*on the ‘money invested,” but there seems to be no money for investment among the rank and file of people, mourns the New York banker, Jules S. Bache. There never was a better time for saving and investing money. Be a wise squirrel. The buying power of the dollar stands a good chance of returning to normal—practically doubling—before 1950. The dollar saved now may be worth $2 later, in buying power. WEATHER CHANGES The sun crossed the equator, going south, late in Sep- tember. ,wustomary storms These storms gradually extend their field of activity southward following the sun. Then comes ‘winter, which is nature’s reminder that the change called death is merely a sleep with a rebirth to life to follow in the ‘spring. : Old people usually, dread winter. It is symbolic of death. MEDAL TO PARENTS OF 33 Considering the high cost of living, medals should He struck off and pinned on these people. . In Bay City, Mi¢h., a rag-picker named Charles L.

She was an extraor- dinarily attractive girl whom he had met at the beach hotel, where he had gone for a week to recuper- ate from the shock of the breach with Phil, And he had found such consola- tion as had not been his since his wife died, many years before, He did not want to marry. Made- leine Raines, He was too old for that. But he would have liked to have had her about hia, ‘in some scapacity, for the rest of his days. “If only the boy hag had the sense to have chosen somevne like you, Madeleine!” he sighed. He called her that now, and she called him Harry. It was one of those delightful, quick fjirtations that spring up between the young and the middle-aged, “But, Harry, you haven't even seen this girl. I understand some actresses are quite charming,” pro- tested Madeleine, : My dear, there has never yet been a member of the stage in the Weir family, and there never shall be with my connivance. Either my ceases to’ be a son of mine.” Madeleine sighed. She felt that the colonel was unjust. And she liked the colonel. “I've given him till Monday to make up his min¢ finally,” he con- tinued. “He's coming down then, and you shall see. him for your- self. But I guess that actress wom- an won't want him when she learns that he’s to be disinherited if she marries him.” “Do you t! ll women are like that, Harry?” asked Miss Raines softly. “Most of ‘em,” answered the colonel. “And me?” queried Miss Raines, How it happened the «colonel ever knew afterward, but he found that he had kissed Miss Raines, and that he had affronted her beyond pardon, _ She rose to her feet, Icy and pale. ““I thought you were a gentleman, Colonel Weir,” she said. She received the colonel’s stam- a tax ‘hough erected on private property. The contention fs that the value of the sign is derived from the pub- lic ‘highway, ‘not from the private property on which it is located and thet, the first obligation is to the nvblic who owns the hiehway and gives the sign an advertising val- ue. Permission fom the land owner is a secondary matter. It would be well for other legisla- tures to extend the Massachusetts idea and give the highway authori- ties some contro] over all signs erected on private property tht in anv way ‘derive their value from their location a3, regards a :public highway. This ig the only way that the highway officials can keen anv contro! over the sign and hillhoard nuisance along the public highway. —Good Roads Magazine. : WE LIVE IN NORTH DAKOTA For the first time in our iis- tory as a state the live stock prod- ucts have exceeded the wheat crop, according. to figures given out from ‘the agricultural. college last. wee. This would indicate that North Da- kota is fast ecoming a dairy state. Another source pf revenue which is not exploited po mucii in gen- eral. is our enormous quantities of lignite coal. Now the Berthold reservation fs right im the midst of these re~ourzes. Our farming is coming to be more diversified each year, with sijbgtantial additiors of fine dairy and heef cattle and hogs.

Somers was almost due. | Per- haps their train would pass him. And Esther looked at the man beside her, letting her hand lie Dassive in his, and instead of the deep love she had thought she felt for him she was conscious of in- tense revulsion. Levering had been Somer's best friend, He had grossly betrayed |him. She tried to picture the — scene when her husband got home ahd found her letter. 7 He would be stunned by it. -Al- though they had never got along well together, he had not dreamed his. wife would ever leave him— least of all with another man. He would not believe it. What would he do then? Would he start in pursuit, to execute a dramatic, vengeance upon them? She did not know. She bad never understood her husband. 4 But she felt guilty, guilty, and she looked at Levering beside her with dismay and disgust and hor- ror. Was it too late? Could’ she not yet reverse her decision? If she had not left that letter behind her any plausible excuse might have sufficed for easy-going, unsuspicious Dick, Now it was hopeless. Somers was almost due atthe station. That must be his train whistling. Suddenly there came « grinding of the brakes, ‘shouts, confusion. The root of e compartment seemed to be falling in on her. There was a moment ‘of horror— then Esther knew no more. She awoke to find herself in the debris of the wreck. Hands were raising her. She was lifted to her feet. She had been momentarily stunned, but was otherwise unin- jured. Seeing this, they left her to attend to the others. She leaned, sick ,and dizzy, against an end of a catriage. What was that form that they were carrying out? Levering! Stone dead! She cast one glance of hor- ror at the mangled body, and then turned away. A train had run into them—the local, she heard somebody say. She listened without comprehend- ing, but lifting her eyes, she saw her home, her own home, a hundred yards away. ‘The two trains had collided al- most immediately in front of it. Some one was touching her arm. She looked at him vacantly; she recognized one of the neighbors. ot “We've found your husband, Mrs. Somers,” he sald. “He isn't badly hurt.” 7 He drew her away. She saw Dick sitting.upon a stretcher. One of,his arms had been roughly ban- daged. f “Hello, old girl!” he saluted her. “Not badly damaged!” And then of a sudden she real- fed all. It hind been Dick’s local with which the express had col- lded. Levering’s death bad wiped out all the past, and Dick imag- ined that she had come down to find him. No one had seen her leave the town in Levering’s motor. “We'll take him straight to the hospital, Mrs. Somers,” some one was saying. She Lreathéd a prayer-of thank- fulness. There was only the let- ter now, and that could be de- stroyed. She fell upon her knees beside her husband. “Oh, It’s so merciful, © she sobbed, “T'm glad, Dick, I’m glad, glad!” (@, 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) “CASCARETS” 10c¢ IF SICK, BILIOUS,} CONSTIPATED vihey Work While You Sleep.” en you feel sick, diazy, upset) when your head is dull or aching, or your stomach is sour or gassy, just take one or two pleasant “Cascarets” to, relieve constipation and bilious- ness.
