Gathered here in April will be some of the most prominent professional and businessmen of North Dakota, Minnesota and Wiscon- sin. Oné club that of Superior, Wis., is in this district also. There are approximately 1,800 Rotarians in the district and a fifty per cent attendance is expected. Rotary is not an exclusive force in a community because membership is limited to one or two in each of the various ion, Its various principles making up the code of ethics impose community obligations upon the members. ‘There are no secret signs, no ritual, uniform or disting- uished marks in Rotary, but. merely an organization of good fellows working for the upbuilding of the entire comminity not merely for the benefit of Rotarians but for every man, woman and child who makes up that community. The fact that Bismarek’s invitation has been accepted |" reflects the interest in this city and its future. Favorable publicity will come as a result as well as giving this city a chance to prove that it ean from every standpoint enter- tain a gathering of this significance. WHO WILL DIG US UP 3300 YEARS HENCE? When King Tutés eyes, now mummified and black, last peered from his small boyish skull, he was ruler of the greatest civilization then on earth — excepting, possibly, China or India. Millions bowed to him, worshipped him as sacred. Tf he could have opened his eyes the other day, he’d have beheld his once proud country impoverished, his mighty civilization buried in the dust, almost forgotten—and, around him, men of a strange white race, sweating, sleeves rolled up, calmly puffing cigarets as they unpacked bim under the glare of electric are lamps.: It makes us wonder, whether our own civilization will be gone and forgotten 3300 years from now, with Chinese scientists digging into our ruins and trying to “place” usin history. All things come from the dust and to the dust return. The finding of King Tut in the Cave of a Thousand Won- ders has added to our meager knowledge of ancient Egyptian life. In cold weather, Tut’s only means of heating was a charcoal fire with poisonous fumes. He had wash bowls and pails instead of a porcelain bathtub with running water. No movies for Tut, no ‘radio, little to read for diversion, no prompt news of far-off places~ On trips up the Nile, the fatest speed he could get was in x clumsy boat manned by rowing slaves. On the desert,he had to ride a camel or travel in a roofed couch carried on the shoulders of slaves. To go upstairs, he had to: walk. He’d probably have given half his kingdom for a flivver, a motor- boat, a radio and an elevator. You’ve seen pictures of King Tut’s throne. For comfort, you wouldn’t trade an installment-house easy chair. He lived in an age of disease and died young. Ice was unknown. No fresh vegetables “out of season” from hothouses. Swift runners brought him humming-bird tongues and other delicacies. But you go him one better when you phone the corner grocery to send you canned foods or fresh fruits and vegetables that come by express from hundreds or thousands of miles away. We are all kings, viewed from ancient standards, in the matter of comforts and luxuries. Some one has figured out that it would require 38 slaves such as King Tut had, for each of us, to do the work performed by machinery, the modern ruler. MAH JONGG DISEASE Nature keeps us constantly fighting for existence. Th» struggle to survive develops our strength. Our chief oppon- ent, next to the battle for food and shelter, is disease, which attacks us at every turn, bobbing up in the most unexpected places Latest malady is,a mild epidemic of “Mah Jongg. disease,” described by skin specialists in medical magazines. Orientals use poison‘ivy in making certain kinds of lacquer, which may cause: slight poisoning or skin rash when handled even cen- : Wigs later. The lacquer is on some cabinets, not on the iles. HUSBANDS GALORE In far-off Tibet, Chinese dependency, Explorer McGovern finds a paradiseefor women. In this paradise, high up in the mountain passes, there are 50 men to every woman. ‘No woman is too homely to have less than a:dozen suitors, and a woman @sually has seven husbands. Nature strives to balance the population. On generation of children will restore the sex balance in Tibef, unless the situation is due to the old ,Chinese custom of “climinating | most of the girl babies. FAKE ANTIQUITIES, ~~ ~ Cunning Egpytians are turning out tons of fale antiques, gating them to tourists attracted’ to the Nile country by King ’s tdmb in‘ the Valley. of the Kings. A favorfte counter- iat is the scarab, representing ancient beetles. Wherever you find the real thing, you ‘find imitations Con Wherever producers toil, parasites hover close at hand. In life are two classes — producers and: fakers.. It seems to be part of ‘nature’s system of checks and balances. AIRE SARE ESOS ee * Merchant shipbuilding has been cut in half since 1918.

Be this as it may, it is a matter of rejoicing that the soft coal indus- try has shown real power of self- | help and self-adjustment. From the predictions of experts | gathered about the conference | table in Jacksonyille, it seems | likely that the bituminous brancy of the coal industry will in the near future come in for a decided reduction and re-distribution, of its | labor supply. Authorities fredict that several hundred) bituminous: mines, and about two hundred thousand miners, will haye to go out of the soft coal mining busi- | ness. | Whatever temporary — hardship this may involve, it will be well i un for miners, operator It has long been re the long ru. and public. is ized that fewer mimes and fewer ea paramount need of It is estimated that miners ¢ this indust the soft ¢ have the capacity to produce about » hundred million tons of ¢oa) year In excess of the normal de- mand. From this condition the public has realized little benefit in low prices for coal, because a wage had to be paid sufficiently high to en- able ah excess labor force to live. This condition has been further aggravated iby the seasonal char- acter of coal mining. If a reduction of mines miners in the bituminous coal fields is realized, following the present wage agreement, immi- gration restriction may be thank- ed for it. By relieving the Nation from an over-supply of labor, it; makes possible an {mperative and rational redigtribution of —man- pow imm| tion restrietion is that greatly aids toward a better tribution of labor and the freeing of ‘such a basie industry as coal mining from one of its m4jor ills, which has been an Over-supply of workers.—Minneapolis Journal. RAILROADS A CHANCE and Not the least good of rigid : | GIVE It is to be regretted that the railroad question ‘cdnnot be taken out of politics, just as the bonus and world court questions ought to be taken out of politics. It is not) a question of what either political patty may desire to do for or against the railroags; but a ques- tion of the upbuildifg of the entire} country. While it is true that there are} more miles of railroads in the’ United States, per capita, than in| any country in the world, it must! not be o®rlooked that a third of | these states, in territory, are poor-! ly equipped! with transportation systems, and even though the auto- mohbile and good roads are tending more and more to offset this, the| time will come when the situation | will become a serious one. ‘No new mileage has been con-! structed during the last ten years, Land I can see no new likelihood of any being constructed, under the presapt system of regulation, for many years to come, and certainly not as long as the railroads are to reamin the football pf political and vote-getting propaganda. ‘Yhrough their interest in si ings banks, insirance’ compani and other institutions forthe pro- pagation of-thrift in the country, there are .hetween 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 owners of rail road se- curities.
