In Masonic bodies he occupied the various chairs, efficiently: headed the Elks lodge, served the Commercial club and afterwards the Association of Com- merce as a director and in Rotary club service was an inspir- lation to his fellow members. It is most fitting that the A der him a testimonial for his service to the city. He serve not only the city, but as head of one of Bismarck’s leading industries, preached daily the advantages of this section or the state and did much in a constructive way to promote the cause of agriculture. A firm believer in diversification, his influence through the agency of the company he served he aided in pointing the way to more profitable agricultu through a varied and better balanced crop. i of Bismarck who came into intimate contact onality wish him well in his new sphere ciation of Commerce ten- ylor who succeeds him as manager of the local tranger to Bismarck. He has been here ars and has been active in promoting the best interests His wide circle of friends are gratified at a well earned promotion and a continuation of his services to this section of North Dakota. THE E. Hendrik Willem Van Loon took a very dry subject, his- tory, and wrote about it so interestingly that in two years the American people have paid one and a half million dollars to read his books. Van Loon thinks his books aré popular because they are to the point instead of cluttered with a mass of words and dates. He learned to write briefly when he was a newspaper correspondent cabling news from Russia at a dollar a word. It cost so much that brevity was compulsory. Van Loon, now 41, was born in Holland. He is highly educated, a college professor. But, due to his foreign birth and training, he doesn’t handle English as easily as the aver- age American. Says he: “I have to write very simply in order to make my meaning intelligble to myself. Twenty years ago a man would have been called cra: if he had claimed that a book of routine history could be written so it would outsell the top-notchers of fiction. His- tory, until a tew years back, was not a popular subject Obviously, the reason for this was that history had never been written simply and attractively. People are no hungrier for knowledge than in the past They are reading history because it is being dished up so t can be grasped quickly and without puckering the forehead ind reading sentences twice. The same is being done with the great sciences, by such nen as Prof. J. Arthur Thomson, whose “Outline of Science” sas fascinating as Jules Verne. Fabre, the Frenchman, started the epidemic of popularization of knowledge, by his vooks about insect life. : ' We'd like to see a hundred men like Van Loon, Thomsor ind Fabre turned loose on the job of rewriting most of the yextbooks used in schools. : | INDIANS HAV * A tribe of Indians in South America has had handed down 9 it through many generations, a story about.an ancient food corresponding in time and magnitude to the deluge of foah’s time. So reports John Giffen Culbertson, Texas, back m visiting the tribe. The same tradition is found in China and among nearly ery other people, even in obscure places. It will please Mhurch people to learn that this particular section of the Pjible again is supported, even though it raises the question [‘hether all who escaped the deluge traveled in Noah’s Ark. ¢. The South American Indians, in their tradition of the ffreat deluge, do not mention Noah’s Ark. They tell the iitory another way—that a man and woman and two animals ff every kind saved themselves from death in the waters by Kjimbing a very high tree. This is curiously similar to the < foah’s.Ark story. It makes you wonder how Indians in re- Aote South America got, in effect, the same story as the Hible. Far back in the past, our continent must have been tpined to Europe or Asia. s SEEKING SUBSTITUTES Chemists are busy seeking substitutes for our vanishing | ests: In a Norwegian laboratory a scientist discovers Hw to: make artificial lumber, as hard as oak.

How happy she would have been to know that all her pies | were safe! “Don't you know any magic way of waking people up?” asked Daddy Gander. “No, I don’t,” declared the Sand- helplessly. “If only Mother Goose doesn’t come homé before we get everything straightened out!” sighed Daddy. It was Nancy who had an idea. Her little brain had been thinking and thinking. “Say, Mister Sand- man, if we get the sleepy sand out of everybody’s eyes, wouldn’t that waken them?” t ou're just right it would, young | lady, but how? That’s the question.” | f Daddy Gander takes his magic dustpan—you know. how you do it, Daddy Gander. -If dust or «sand neay your dustpan, it flies right to it and sticks. Couldn't it around and get ‘all the and out of everybody's eyes.” I declare!” cried Daddy “Of course I can! Funny I didn’t think of it before. Here! Where did I leave that dustpan of mine? Oh, there it is.” A And without another word he waved it around and said a charm and everybody woke up with a jump. The first thing Missez John saw was the pies. “Good lands! Where did they come from?” she cried. At that minute Nick came up the cellar stairs two at a time. “That isn't a cupboard you pyt the pies and cakes into, mother,” he said. “It was the dumb-waiter that goes up and down to the cellar. They were so heavy they made it go down and you only saw the empty shelves. And when I fell asleep in the cellar T must have bumped it and made it come up again. } So the party ended just right. And when they were all home again, ¢he Sandman put them’ to sleep in the proper style. Thon away ‘he went in his cloud boat up to the sky where he lived. . : (To Be Continued.)

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES- COTT TO RUTH ELLINGTON MY DEAR RUTH: I have wished for you all day. As you know, mother will not be here until tomorrow and I have heen mooning around the shops. I am sending number of new id in underthings and negli- gees that I think will sell like hot cakes, a 1 had an engagement this after- noon at the office of Strubble. & Strubble. You know Karl told me to consult the senior member of the firm, who is a very charming man of more than middle age. Believing that a woman should be as confidential with her lawyer as with her doctor, I told him the whole story except that I had sold three of the pearls. He said he knew Karl had been collecting these pearls ever since .he was a little boy and Je congratulated me upon having them, He looked at me rather quizzi¢ally as he did this. Of course I made him understand that I had accepted the pearls in per- fect innocence, thinking they were a string of beads from my sister. It was only when I had broken them and taken them into the city to have them restrung that I had found how valuable they were. I asked him if he thought I had better send them back to Karl and he seemed to think that was foolish, especially as it would entail so many explanations to Jack. It was rather a peculiar situation, Ruth, to be sitting there talking to; ah absolutely strange man and re/ ceiving his suggestions upon how to run my life. : He asked me quite pointedly if my sister were in Englan® now, and I told him she was. He told me also that he had had a cable from Karl Getting an Earful telling him to do anything in the world he could do to settle the matter in a way so there would be no pub- licity. 4 He seemed to think he could settle the waiter very easily, I told him I really don’t want Karl to any more mon and that as soon as he arrived from abroad I should try |_ and make arrangements return him the pearls. He said that would be the best wi if I returned them at all, but in all events I was not to worry about the matter. He would take all of the responsibility. He said he would arrange every- thing and I came away feeling quite secure, I rather gathered he was going to send someone to you, Ruth, and between you, you would settle the matter. He seemed to think you were very clever in your advice to me. , I asked no questions about what he was g@ing to do or how he was going to do it, but I told him that if he wished to write me any letters, he was to send them to you. I couldn't help thinking, Ruth, of that old poet who said: “Oh what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive.” (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

She is beautiful in an unusual way and Clavtring stares at her, fascinated. In fact, the whole house is staring. Clavering later sees his relative, Dinwiddie, in the audience, Mt (Continued) Mr. Dinwiddie’s countenance as a rule was as formal ang politely expressionless as became his dig- ified status, but tonight it was not. It was pallid. The rather prominent eyes were staring, the mouth was relaxed. He was seat- ed next the aisle and Clavering hastened toward him in aiarm. “Ill, old chap?” he asked. ‘“Bet- ter come out.” . Mr. Dinwiddie focused his eyes, then stumbled to his feet and caught Clavering by the arm. “Yes,” he muttered. “Get me out of this and take me where I can get a drink.
