In large way the patrons of the schools are often to blame. Their motives also are worthy for the aim in most instances is to secure better service from the public schools, but that costs money. - The Bismarck Board of Education must face the problem along with all school officials of cutting away the frills which may be desirable adjuncts to the school program but in view of mounting costs more than the taxpayers can stand. It would work a hardship to prune salaries of teachers. The average monthly salary paid teachers in Bismarck is less than that paid janitors. Surely there can be little curtailing in that direction. But after a careful study there may be features of the school work that can be eliminated without injuring the school system. Another policy must be decided upon and that is the limiting of registration at the High School. Admittance of non-resident students has placed an extra burden upon tax- payers. The fee for tuition should be large enough to care for the cost of the service and if this plan is not feasible registration should be restricted to the actual capacity. While the High School is over crowded now, if non-resi- dent students were eliminated there would be room for all resident students. Under the present plan the Bismarck Board of Education does not get in fees and state aid what it costs the city to educate non-resident students, some of whom come from counties other than Burleigh. This prob- lem must be solved too in view of mounting costs. In the agitation for, lower prices, however, it is well to tackle the most glaring expenditures before depriving chil- dren of educational facilities. payrolls, elimination of costly experiments in socialism which would reduce taxes at once, for future levies. What are we going to do this year about reducing tax levies to be raised next year? Milliors can be lopped from state and local budgets in North Dakota if there is the courage to do so. But lets vith the non-essentials and not with the women and » via the slashing of educational budgets. HOW MANY STEAL? How many of the people, whom you pass on the streets, are absolutely honest? “Four out of five!” answers Solomon Ulmer. He recently demonstrated this by an odd experi- ment. Ulmer, head of a mortgage company in Cleveland, is raising money for a new tuberculosis sanitarium in Los Angeles. He picked 1000 names at random from hig local city directory. To each of these he mailed this letter, with 2 $1 bill enclosed: You can keep this dollar if you want to, but we «hope you won’t. We hope you'll send it and another one to me as your subscription to the fund. We believe everyone is really kind and generous. We are investing $1000 to prove that belief. Have we made a good investment? What is your answer? Out of the 1000 who received a letter and $1 bill, 600 returned the dollar with at least one more, 200 sent the dollar back alone, and 200 kept the dollar. The 200, of course, are not dishonest as the law views such things. They were told they could keep the dollar if they preferred. But an appeal was made to them in a good cause and they were put on their honor to repay. At any rate, at least four out of five are absolutely honest, and three out of five are generous as well as honest. Cases like this give us renewed confidence in our fellow- men at large—especially the strangers whose elbows brush ours on the street. As you follow the daily news and read of hold-ups, confi- dence games, swindles and burglary, maybe you occasionally get the notion that the world reeks with dishonesty. Not so. The dishonest cases are the exceptions. why they are news—a record of the unusual. That’s Honesty is so = common and general, that cases of it are not news. Me A contrast. ‘Soriental = tion wears a mask. It hidés its real self. ee VALUE OF FAT =The famous Parisian dressmaker, Mme. Madeline Voin- net, visits New York and comments: “It’s a pity that all American women want to be thin. They lose something when they force flesh away—the freshness is lost and they are almost certain to have a haggard appearance which no amount of youthful clothes can disguise. It’s a pity to go against nature. I believe in being natural.” One answer to this is that it isn’t natural for a woman to get too fat, any more than it’s natural for her to get too thin. The womanly attempt to be thin is more than a fashionable urge. It reflects a desire for health, activity and grace. “It’s a pity to go against nature. I believe in being natural,” says Mme. Voinnet. A large part of our genera- It apes others— tries to five up to standards beyond its income—even affect- ing the strut and shrug of movie stars. When a person is not absolutely natural, frankly and bluntly just what God made him, it’s an admission that he’s ashamed of himself. Great personalities are always natural, never masked. - WANT ANY WILD ANIMALS? ‘ ~ Want to buy a lion?

The absurd baselessness of that part of Mr. Vanderlip’s speech in which he had looked under the edge of shroud is further emphasized by the ignorance which he displayed in another part of his speech, when he asserted that the reason the Senate committee had not insisted that Mr, Fall testify was that the members were aftaid he woulq incriminate others of high im- portance. Mr. Vanderlip admitted to the com- mittee that he did not know that Mr. Fall had been summoned and had re- fused to testify on the ground that his testimony might tend to incrim- inate him, Every newspaper in the country carrieg the news, which was everywhere of first-page perform- ance, Yet the news was unread by a man who presumes to be sufficiently informed to instruct his countrymen, to denounce Senators, and to impute dishonesty to a dead President! Mr. Vanderlip had nothing to tell. In contrast to him was Louis H. Brush, one of the two publishers who purchased the Marion ar from President Harding. Mr. Vanderlip had referred to Mr, Brush and his associate as two young men of no fi- nancial standing. Mr. Brush testified that he had known Mr. Harding for twenty-five years, and that, in addi- tion to his half interest in the Star, | he owned practically all the stock in three other Ohio newspapers ang a small interest in another in New York State. The price paid was $380,000, in- stead of the $550,000 of which Mr. Vanderlip spoke, and Mr. Brush gave ‘details to show that neither he nor ‘his associate borrowed any money except two ordinary bank loans. Mr. Vanderlip’s charges have fall- en flat. They would be merely ridi culous if they were not also a tre- mendous wrong. They wronged the reputation of the late President. , They wronged Mrs. Harding and the | | present publishers of the Marion| ‘Star. And above all, they wronged | the country, for they raised in the | minds of millions of Americans a baseless suspicion that a President of the United States has been bribed. A strange way, indeed, to honor Harding's memory!—Chicago Journal of Commerce. WELL KNOWN PIONEER DIES Funeral services will be held this afternoon from the Lutheran church at Sims, Rev. Larson of Taylor of- ficiating, for Fred Holritz, aged 175, who died carly Friday morning at the home of his son, Andrew Holritz of Almont. Deceased was born in Christiania, Norway, Sept. 3, 1848 and came to the United States in 1867 making his home until 1870 at St, Louis, Mo. He was one of the first settlers to take |up a homestead near Minneota in Lyons county, Minn., in 1870, and was married there in 1874 to Miss Louise Anderson, On September 13, 1888, Mr. Holritz brought his family to Morton county ang located at Sims where he open- ed a general store which he conduct- ed until 1907 when he retired from the business and moved to Almont, living there until 1912 when he re- turned to Sims following the death of his wife in 1911. Mr, Holrit» was one of the best known of the early settlers in the county and was respected by a wide acquaintance. He had held numer- ous village and township positions and served in the house of represen- tatives at two terms of the state leg- islature—1891, 1893, , Four children survive, Mrs. Gus T. Olson, for many years a resident of Mandan and now living at Fargo; E. A. Holritz of Carson, former county auditor; F.C. Holritz of Mandan and Andrew Holritz of Al- mont. ‘Another daughter, Mrs. M.

The vocal cords would be transplanted, just like a gland operation, While there are many _ singers whose voices need amputating, we don't think these voices should be grafted on someone else. If this woman wants to learn grand opera, or, as it might be calle in this case, gland opera, why doesn’t she buy a ranch and call the cows every night? That’s the way a Texas girl learned. » Nick looked at the magic bean (that Silver Wing had given him. It” certainly didn’t look magic, It look- ed like the dried beans that your mether buys at the grocery store for baking, or that litte boys shvot through bean-shooters. Where was the fairy that they had been talking to on the purple thistle only a minute before? But there was the bean! There was no getting away from that. And, jof course, they didn’t want to get! jaway from it, for hadn't Silver Wing said that it was the mate to Jack’s bean, and that it would grow into a beanstalk just as his had if they would plant it. “Come and get the magic shoes!” shouted Nick all at once. “The fairy said for us to look for the magic green shoes before we tried to climb the magic beanstalk. We'd bet- ter put them on at once, Nancy, so we will be ready when it begins to grow.” Away they scampered to the pig stone under the chestnut-tree, and there, just as Silver Wing had said, stood the four little green scalloped shoes. As soon as the shoes were on, Nick knelt down and made a little hole in the ground with a stick. Then he dropped fhe bean in and covered it u Pp. But scarcely had he gotten to his feet when the bean began to grow and an enormous green vine with a very thick stem shot up past them like a sky-rocket, straight for the where the jolly giants live. I'll go first so that if there are any bad places I can tell you.” They passed the tree tops and the clouds and it didn’t seem to be more than two minutes and a half until they came to the place where the beanstalk spread out like a ceiling over their heads, But there was an opening and they clambered throggh. \ And lo and behold, there they were in Beanstalk Land! , It looked like any other country to the Twins’ curious eyes—until they saw a figure coming down the road toward them—a person of such a size as never, never had it been their fortune to see. It was as though the church on the corner, steeple and all, had suddenly decid- ed’to take a stroll. “Look!” exclaimed Nick, pointing: “It’s one of the giants!” The giant wore wooden shoes and they went clap, clap, clap when he set his feet down. Down on earth it must sounded like thunder. XN “Oh, my! I hope he won’t step on uk,” said Nancy, and she pulled Nick down behind a log. \ 7 -(To Be Continued) t (Copyright, 1024, NEA Service, Inc.)

Mrs. Atherton went to Mr. Hamilton and made a clean breast of it. When Leslie heard about it she’ arranged for her to come to me, Did you know the woman well? She seems rather mystifying.
