What are you going to do with the extra day? A facetious question, pehaps, but well worth asking—for the extra day emphasizes the importance of time in our lives, which are all. too short. It’s wise to round up good intentions and ambitions and start afresh with New Year resolutions. Wiser, still, to realize that EVERY DAY has to be New Year Day unless we want to fall behind the procession. The fine resolutions should be renewed, the high ambitions enlarged, every morn- ing without exception. January 1 is the time to start. Happy New Year. All start. Few finish. LET THE PEOPLE SELECT THEM While the politicians and pelf hunters are shouting and wrangling about who will go to Cleveland next summer, it might be instructive to note in passing that the republicans of the state voting in their several precincts can be depended upon to make a choice that will be binding upon all even upon those who hold pap above principle. Action taken by the Republican State Central Committee merely proposed a slate. Other cliques have the same option. There is no law to prevent anyone from filing as a delegate to the convention at Cleveland. It is hard to detect real republicans in this state. Some of those who pose now as republicans ,if memory faileth not, r P. J.

That decision will be final whether t is in favor of the “real” republicans or the “so-called” re cans. A Coolidge delegation is the main consideration now for the people of the state despite the fact that some of the politicians will always insist in using the presidential prim- aries as the preliminary for the June contest. 3 Cannot we have a truce in the interests of a Coolidge victory next March? HEN YOU HUNGER Do you feel irritable and aggressive when you need food? Most people do, especially nervous temperaments. As soon > polit’cal fen the voters are 'es—they will as they satisfy the cravings of the stomach, they relax and | feel at peace with the world. All this is inherited from ancient times when man was in the animal state or not far removed from it. Nature made -animals and primitive men aggressive and wrathful when they needed food, so they’d be incited to go out into the jungle and kill. Hunger appeased, they relaxed, became drowsy—nature again asserting her cunning. by making them want to lie down and doze, giving the stomach unrestricted blood supply to aid digestion and rebuild the exhausted cells of the body. We no longer have to go out and kill animal life with bow and arrow or spear or hand-to-hand combat. We simply go to a restaurant or open the lunch pail—and get what we want. If the service is slow and appetite ferocious, we occa- sionally revert to jungle type and feel like going out and man-handling the chef and waiter to rush our meal. Obviously, there’s no longer any physical or other neces- sity for irritability and aggresiveness accompanying hunger. These unpleasant sensations are superfluous. But nature hasn’t quite kept-up with our rapid advancement. Jungle days are gone, but sie hasn’t eliminated jungle emotions. In many other Ways, civilized man has “outgrown” his | physical body. We've become civilized fast. Nature’s evolu- tion is slower, so we haven’t shaken off. jungle emotions and jungle physique. Our bodies and emotions are like driving a stagecoach in an age of airplanes. That’s what the highbrows mean when they claim the machinery and systems of civilization have developed faster than man’s ability to handle them. } DOPE AS SUBSTITUTE Prediction is made by the chemist, Irenee du Pont, thai “material will be found which, taken into‘the human system, will accomplish the results of eight hours’ sleep.” That would be the super-calamity, for the efficiency ex- perts would manage to keep us busy the hours now spent in sleep. Why, sleep is what keeps people from going raving mad in this jazz age. Slumber restores a semblance of san- ity. Its psychic and mental recuperation is far more import- ant than physical rest. . TRAGEDIES LURK’ Tragedies lurk at your elbows, lots of them. Travelers Aid Societies report that nearly 32,000 Americans are re- ported missing in a year. And 2500 of them are never found.

Whereas, New Year Day has a /blame fool, habit of coming around only once every year. ~ And whereas, the man who said {the good die young really was talk- ing about good resolutions. : Also whereas, it is the same old bunch of good resolutions that die young every year. What to Landowska Records Someone has remarked of the amazement the early composers would feel to hear their works per- formed by a modern symphony or- chestra. Equally interesting is it to us to hear some of their works played on the only instruments then at their disposal. Wanda Landow- ska’s interpretation of the harpsi- chord, precursor of the piano, been a sensation, and we have just beard the famous Polish player’s first record of her work. Her insti ment has two keyboards, a multi ity of pedals, and the tone is strings plucked by quills. Now you ean hear Handel’s ‘‘Harmontous Blacksmith’’ and Mozart’s ‘‘Turk- ish March’’ exactly as the com- posers themselves heard them, gen- erations ago. ' A great orchestra playing a great waltz is one of the supreme moments musical in our existence. This week Mengelberg and thd Philharmonic Orchestra record two such great mo- ments: waltz’ from Tschaikow- sky’s ‘‘Serenade for String Orches- tra’’ and Strauss ‘‘Tales from the Vienna Woods.’’ In such capable hands they achieve almost delirious heights of rhythmic imagination and ecstasy. Valentino’s tender farewell to his sister Marguerite is one of the great songs of ‘‘Foust,’’ a familiar melody made more so by Titta Ruffo. This week the great baritone sings it as a companion number for an aria not so well known, but cer- tainly deserving to be. ‘¢ re ho sognato?’? (Why Have I Thus Dreamed?) is Columbus’ monologue, serene in supreme faith, just before the New World slips over the hori- zon. It is from Franchetti’s ‘*Cristoforo Colombo.’’ Songs of Sentiment i Charles Hart and Lewis James, | respectively, make tenor solo records of two songs which lately blossomed as dance records. The intent ot “I Love You’? is unmistakable; its melody and@rhythm are catchy. lic- resolutions have been made over un- til they are worn out. Therefore be is resolved by the hored, that old resolutions will not be dug up this year. ; |. Further resolved, that in place of resolutions we try to do the best we can during 1924, And further resolved, that it will be impossible for us to do any bet- ter than the best we can. Still further resolved, that doing the best we can gives more scope than any set of resolutions. And lastly resolved, that the only resolution we will resolve is not to make any resolutions. We set our hand this date and sit to think it over. MANDAN NEWS | HERE FOR HOLIDAYS Mr. and Mrs. A.

DIVIDEND DECLARED At the regular December meeting of the Board of Directors of- the Mandan’ Building and Loan Associa- tion, held last evening, an annual dividend of five percent was declar- ed. In addition to showing a nice profit over and above operating ex- penses, the annual report of the as- sociation shows that all expenses of organization, printing, books, etc., amounting to several hundred dol- lars, have been paid out of the pro- fits of the company for the. nine months’ period singe the association was organized. The results of the first few months operations of the association are highly gratifying to the directors. The resignation of Geo. F. Wilson as a member of the board of direc- tors was tendered to the directors at the meeting last night, and Chas. D.
