The greatest collection of valentines in the world is owned by Jonathan King of London, England. His valentines fill 2000 scrap books. No two specimens are alike. King is very proud of his collection. He has devoted his life to gathering it from all parts of the world. And yet his 2000 volumes of valentines do not mean as much to him as the one valentine from her sweetheart means to any girl or young woman—as in the accompanying pen- picture by Artist Satterfield. Real wealth is not in material possessions. Love is the greatest form of riches. Small wonder, Val- entine Day — symbolic of love— persists through century after century. PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM President Calvin Coolidge’s New York speech added to the trust the people have imposed in his courage and in- tegrity: He told the audience that in the Teapot Dome in- quiry he proposed to follow “the clear, open path of justice” in an entirely nonpartisan manner, and he proposes to sacri- fice no innocent man for his own political welfare.

They are p#xented here in order that our readers may have both ald of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. WHO WILL LO: The milling situation that fronts North Dakota in connection tion of the state mill ks, while it interests minded person, is of interest to the farmer changed, or is in the pro- of changing from the sive raising of wheat to dive farming ‘The ‘by-products of privately owned mills through practically every county in the state, play an important part in furnishing bran and shorts to dairymen. ‘These by-produ can be sold at much more r sonable p p by the local mille supplying his mediate commun- ity, than by the state mill at Grand Forks, or larger mills at Minne- apol While North Dakota is prim N a producer of grain and dairy products, it is strange indeed that by one fell swoop the state should either sadly cripple or put out of 5 y the most import- ant manufacturing industry in the entire state. It ig a matter of common knowl- edge that the small, privately- owned mill — institutions with small capacity but never-the-less serving their communities in very definite manner—-are today fighting with their backs against the all, But no matter whether these small mills are making money, or losing money, they must pay taxes to make up the deficit of the state-owned mill, including in- terest on something like $4,000,000 of bonds. The situation is of particular importance to Minot as well as other points where mills are cated, for the reason that the pric: of wheat has been materially at- fected by the presence of these i For instance the price of ut at Minot for the past tenj years has ranged from five to ten j cents a bushel over the regular market pri because of the fact that the local mills were in a posi- | tion tp pay a slight bonus in con- sideration of the local elevators | storing the grain until the m required it. The same situation was true at Bismarck, Valley City. ‘and For as well as all other points where small mills were op- erated. Who got the benefit of that sit- uation? Why the farmer did. It} igs a matter of common knowledge that farmers haul grain into Minot! for long distances when their hauling facilities permit, in order to receive ihenefit of this bonus. The farmer who is a purchaser of mill feed and who has in the past profited by the bonus paid for wheat at nters where mills op- erated, are much more interested j in the present situation than the ordina y-dweller could possi- bly be.

Plainly Secretary of the Navy Denby would have relieved the President of an embarrassing situation had he resigned. Clearly he would have aided the President politically, if he retired voluntarily or involuntarily. But it is also true that Secretary Denby has not yet been shown to he contaminated with guilt in the Teapot Dome matter and he has the testi- monials of unimpeachable persons of his home state to encourage him if he is in the right. The President, both in his answer to the Senate and in his New York speech, made it very plain that Mr Denby and all others of his official family are being weighed in the balance of the scales of justice. If they are proved un- worthy of their high places they shall go. It is simple American justice that the President proposes to exact for | the people of the natfon. His is a steady hand at the helm’ in a troubled sea. There is, too, in the firm declaration of the President .in his New York speech encouragement to the agricultural in- terests of the Northwest. Already much opposition has been expressed in the east to the unusual proposals which the President already has made for the benefit of agriculture, puline is unswerving in his determination. Said he in New ork: “What I am anxious to impress upon the pros- perous part of our country is the utmost necessity that they should be willing to make sacrifice for the assistance of the unsuccessful part. I do not mean by that any unsound device like price-fixing, which I oppose, because it would not make prices higher ‘but would in the end make them lower, it would not be successful and would not prove a remedy, but I do mean that the resources of the country ought to come to the support of agriculture. The organiza- tion recently perfected to supply money and man- agement for the larger aspects of agriculture ought to have your sympathetic and active support.” It is plain that price-fixing would be followed by a stim- ulated production which would defeat its own end. The President’s proposals thus far advanced of encouraging-a higher price level for the farmer through the protective tariff, ‘of concentrating the thought of the nation on the disparitv between manufactured goods prices and those’ of farm prod- ucts, of financial aid to bridge the crisis, and other measures to encourage balanced ‘farming and more equitable prices ‘give hope to the agricultural Northwest. ___ President Coolidge has shown that he is a good friend of * North Dakota.

Ses if any, the party will make in the general policy to be pursued by Great Britain towards other na- tions, The de jure recognition of Soviet Russia which was thought hy some to be an indication of a radien! change of policy scarcely | leserves to be so regarded it would seem. The recognition was ex- tended rother from a desire to bol- ster op trade, and assist in the so- Iniion of British employment prob- | lems than from any deep sympa-| thy with the Russian-economic and | politic scheme of thin; It has been a favorite claim of the Ibor leaders, that under their administration British foreign | policy will be purged of its more | pronounced imperialistic tenden- cies. It is true that there may be modifications along this line, but the Labor party up to date has/ shown itself fully capable of recos- | nizing conditions as they exist, and the fact remains that Great | Britain is an empire. There are j certain things which must be done, and certain conditions under which they must be done. The problems of foreign policy cannot be solved | { in isolation. The present indications are that Ramsay MacDonald, the foreign minister, will modify to some ex- tent the policies followed by his predecedsor, Lord Curzon, but will make no attempts to completely reverse them. His recognition of Russia does not mean that he will surrender British rights to Russia. He may grant India and Egypt a greater measure of self govern- ment than they have before en- joyed, but he certainly does not contemplate the complete dissolu- tion of the ties that bind them to the empire. In short the policy which, Mr. MacDonald may ‘be ex- pected to pursue will differ from that of the previous government in degree, but not in kind. —Grand Forks Herald. Smugglers’ Wealth.

I have a hunch he ig writ- ing to some one in this city. If this is so, I want to know it, because if I ca. nfind that scoundrel I intend to bring him back to America if pos- ible with some of his ill-gotten gains. 1 You would be doing me a great favor if you know anything about his present place of residence if you would let me know.

They can+ not dig up the sunken tracks from the ruts in their brain and Jay them elsewhere; and they instinctively protect themselves by an affecta- tion of calm and scornful superior- ity, of righteous conservatism, which deceives themselves; much as I had assumed—and learned to feel—an attitude of profound indif- ference to my vanished youth, and refused to attempt any transparent cisguise with cosmetics.” Intentness relaxed once more. Twelve pairs of eyes expressed at least half as many sentiments, Mrs. Vand gazed at Mary Ogden, whose insolence she had ‘never for- gotten, with indignant ‘hostility; Mrs. Poole, who always dressed ag \t she had a tumor, but whose rem- nant of a once lovely complexion indicated perféct health, maintained her slight tolerant smile; its effect somewhat abridged by the fact that the small turban of bright blue feathers topping her large face had slipped to one side. Mrs. Goodrich looked’ startled and gazed depre- catingly at her friends. Mrs. Law: rence’s eyes snapped, and Mrs. de Lacey looked thoughtful. Only Mrs. Tracy spoke. “Wonderful! . I feel more like Methuselah than. ever. But it cér- tainly is a relief to know: what is the matter with me. Do go on, Mary—I may call you Mary?

The treatment induces flesh, and as I had been excessive- ly thin, my skin, as flesh accumu- lated, grew taut and lines disap- peared. My eyes, which had long been dull, had regained something of their old brilliancy under the renaissance of brain and blood, and that was accentuated.

My complexion, after so many years, of neglect, naturally needed scientific treat- ment of another sort, but that was still to be had in Vienna.” ‘Ah!” The exclamation was sharp. Here, at least, was some thing they knew all about and sys- tematically discountenanced. “Do you. mean that yoy had your skin ripped off?” asked Mrs. Ruyler. “Certainly not. | The skin was simply softened and reinvigorated by massagé and the proper applica- tions.” : in a benefit that sticks to the fingers, +. | Sure Had His Number.*" , A famous actor who repeatedly made farewell appearances an- nounced another final téur. =” * ing, Lily Traey!™! said | Countess Zattlany.
