At this time the progressive bloc in Congress is engaged There is the possibility for the La Follette group to gain advantage trom their maneuvers and to go before the voters of the nation with a claim of accomplishment. But if thi group confines its activities solely to obstruction, if it is to disorganize the Republican majorty in the national Congress so that the sound proposals of the President will fail, the group will be utterly dis- - eredited. The Democratic group hopes to gain through Republican embarassment. But even recognizing the normal desire of the Democrats to place the party in a straetgic position for the 1924 campaign it is hardly thinkable that the great body of voters will show any respect for legislators who allow partisan or personal motive for their cations. consideration to be the chief The country desires action. A program already is before Congress, the wisdom of which in most particulars cannot be denied. The party or the individuals in Congress that halt the country’s progress must prepare to take the conse- quences. A LESSON IN HISTORY Will Hays, the czar of the movies, may not have inspired the production of “The Covered Wagon.” But if Mr. Hays had done so, he would certainly have done much toward earn- ing his first year’s salary of $150,000 for placing the indus- try on a firmer basis. For the producers of this motion pic- ture have demonstrated the power of the silent drama ex- erted in the right manner. A vivid story of the winning of the west is visualized as it could be in no other manner and without dime novel methods; a valuable lesson is given to the student of American ally valuable to the school history which should be especi- boy or girl seeking an under- standing of the development of the nation, and spectacular entertainment is given without a jarring note to the finer sensibilities of the motion th eater patrons.

Most people need eight hours sleep., Many of us need gore. And a lot of maladies, especially common colds and ervous ailments, are largely due to getting less sleep than is needed.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS ———— By Olive Roberts Barton The next riddle that the Riddle Lady asked in Riddle Land was this. See if you can guess it as quickly as Nick did. | rs Ae “There is a chap I know well, Who travels through the skies, He sails along from light to dark, And he is wondrous wise. | “He is so wise he's lostphis hair From thinking this and that, As he rolls ‘round up in the air; And he is-bald and fat. “Bald and fat he is, sir, Yes, he is fat and bald.

And if perchance he finds one, He turns & fiery red. . “But mostly his. complexion, Is golden, shining yellow, Now if you've no objection, Please name, this jolly fellow.” “Who is it?” .asked the Lady. “The sun!” cried Nick. “I was just going to say that,” said Riddle Slow, “but I thought I’d wait awhile.” “Dear, dear, dear!” said the Riddle Lady. “Its just fellows like you and your brother, Sleepy Head, that make Mister Sun cross. Why do you always wait awhile?” | ““1 don’t know,” answered Slow. “I guess it’s just habit.’ “That's just what it is,” declared the Riddle Lady. “And if | Nick doesn’t care, I'm going to give you tho prize, for he doesn’t need it.

Who .would have thought that my little sister would have arranged to plan-to give me those pearls as just beads? ‘It scems so hard and sophisticated. I can't even think of Karl's falling in with it. And to think that Alice — accuses me of knowing the pearls-were 1 all the time. I guess I must b little bit: old-fashioned. I think’ it will be a good thing for mother to get over there a8 soon as possible. I don’t like the tone of Alice’s letter at all, She might be a woman cf 35 instead of a girl of 18, I never had an idea that Karl was collecting pearls for me and 1 do not know what to do, Now.tbat Karl knows I know he gave me the pearls of course the things to do would be to send them back and write « digni- fied letter saying now that | know they are real I cannot accept them. But—there is always a “but”, isn’t there, little Marquise, and in this case the “but” looms larger than anything has ever loomed in my life before—you see, I have sold three of these pearls und, of course, I can’t give them back to Karl. (I have no way of raising nine thousand dollars even if I knew where to buy them back.). Of course Alice and Karl know I have lost one, but I cannot account for the other three, I cannot send the pearls back with- out making this humiliating confes- sion, It was all a mistake in the first’ place. I should have stopped imme- diately on the first suspision that the pearls were real and kept them until I heard from\Alice. Now I can neither tell Alice or John because jL couldn’t tell ‘John that I didn’t get this money frosm my father,’ and I cannot tell Alice have sold three of the precious stokes. It weuld make him perfectly f@rious to hnow that Karl had been the means of helping him out of a ight place. Then, little Marquise) I have got another trouble on my Wands, 1 am wondering if Jack knows«more about the gossip than has floated around anent the’ picture, “Trutping His Heart,” than I do. I know‘it is just like my dear Jack to stend by a friend_as he is, but it seems to me he should do something to. Sydney come forward and tell the real story. It is going a little bit too far to ask one’s friends to shoulder a lot of scandalous gossip as Sydney is doing. worrying Jack because he, too, is irritable and cross. As for myself, I am in a most pe- culiar: frame of mind. you will think me a foolishly weak woman when I tell you that I find myself being influenced by gossip. This morning ‘I refused to take little | Jack out with me when I went to market, something that. I always do. I left him home with old Nannie be- cause I could not stand the idea that some woman who had heard this gossip, while making an excuse to talk with me, would look at litthe Jack carefully to see if he resembled anyone she knew.

In varioug ways it has been made to ‘appear tha€ his recommendation {for participation in the cdurt was coupled with a slap at the League of Nations. Nothing of the sort appears in the message, and ‘the misconstruction is inexcusable. This is what the president said on the subject: For nearly twenty-five years we have been a member of The Haghe Tribunal, and have long sought the creation of a per- manent World Court of Justice. I am in full accord with both of these policies. I favor the establishment of such a court intended to include the whole world. That is, and has long been, an American policy. | . Pending before the Senate is a proposal that this Govern- ment give its support to the Permanent Court of Interna- tional ‘Justice, which is a new and somewhat different plan. That is not a partisan ques- ‘tion. It should not assume an artificial importance. The court 1s merely a convenient instrument of adjustment to which we could go, but to which we could not ‘be brought. It should be discussed with en- tire candor, not by @ political but by a juidicial method, with- out pressure and without pre-* judice. Partisanship has . no Place in our foreign relations. - As I wish to see a court es- ‘tablished, and as the proposal ‘presents the only practical plan on which many nations | have ever agreed, though it may not meet every desire, I therefore commend iit te the favorable consideration of the Senate, with the proposed res- ervations clearly indicating our refusal to adhere to the (League of Nations. ¥ The substance of much of the comment is such ag to convey the idea that the president is hostile to the League of Nations, and that in recommending membership in the world court the proposes new conditions, in this way giving ex- pression to his antagonism to the League. The fact is that President Coolidge thas proposed nothing that was not proposed by his pre- decessor on the recommhendation of the secretary of state. In his letter to President Harding Secre- tary Hughes set forth the purpose and character of the world court, @nd thé desirability of American participation therein. Inf this let- ter the set forth certain reserva- tions which he thought should be attached to a resolution authoriz- ing membership, these being in- tended to remove any possible mis- understandings from American membership, and to make it clear ‘that membership in the court in no way involved or implied member- ship in the League of Nations. ‘That recommendation was approv- ed ‘by President Harding, who urged upon the senate that it au- thorize membership in the court on the terms suggested. That recom- mendation id still before the sen-|: ate, and it is that recommendation, with the reservation originally at- tached, that President Coolidge Ail repeats. —Grand Forks Her- ald, + * Stomach Misery Acidity, Gas, Gas, Indigestion “Pape’s Diapepsin” is the quickest, surest-relfef for indigestion, gases, flatulence,, heartburn, sour fe mentation i few tablets ‘give al- ‘te’ stomach relief, Cor- itomach'and digestion now ‘conte. ists sell mil- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1923 x Atta) Jong 4 BY J, P BABCOCK Ss Bala ba Hae a ils No 8—Opening the Wall. The previous artictes carried us up to the point where the wall had been built, four-sided and solid. Now we wil break it and start play. East Wind makes one throw of the two dice, totals the points so thrown, and starts counting counter- clockwise around the walls, commenc- ing with his own. Thus, the East Wall is one, the South Wall two, the West Wall thrée, etc. He stops when he has counted a number equal to the throw of the dice, and this is the wall to be openet. After piaying a few even-| eleventh pair of tiles from the right corner of South's wall.

Throw Dice Again. z Determination of the exact spot to be opened in the wall thus selected is made by another. throw of the dice, this time by him whose wall is to be opened. He throws the two dice and the total of the throw is ‘added to the total thrown by East in determining the wall to be open- ed. Thus if Fast threw six, the South then threw five, the six thrown by East ang the five thrown by South would be added, giving a total of 11. Taking the latter number, he whose wall is to be opened starts counting from the right end of his wall, counts one on each pair of tiles to the left and femoves that pair of tiles whose number corresponds to the determined number.

Mlem- bers of the crew of ‘an eastbound freight which passed Sims at 3:30 o'clock said that there ‘had been no signs of the fire at that time. It is thought that the blaze started at 4 o'clock. It is doubtful if the station will be rebuilt since the Northern Pacific officials hae been considering aban- doning the station’ for some time past.
