A BROAD BUSINESS POLICY The financial aid plan evolved in the $10,000,000 agricul- tural aid corporation is one of the most far-reaching steps taken by finance in the Northwest, or in any section of the country, to meet an emergency without immediate hope of reward for so doing. Capital stock of the organization has been oversubscribed ; leading business men and bankers have placed money in it which may not be returned; others have volunteered to give of their business ability to make the plan a success. ° The plan of finance originated out of the stress in South Dakota caused by the failure of banks in large cities. With- in a few days more deposits were tied up in closed banks in South Dakota than had been suspended in scores of small country banks in North Dakota. It is significant that all through the discussion of aid from the War Finance Corpor- ation and other agencies it was recognized by Twin City and eastern financiers that there was greater need for aid in South Dakota and Montana than in North Dakota. It is freely predicted that the agency will find more work to do in other Northwest states than in North Dakota. Yet North Dakota is to be represented in the directorate of the corporation and is to benefit by the $100,000,000 bor- rowing capacity which the new company has at its disposal. Millions of dollars are to be poured into the state, if de- sired, to aid solvent institutions and if possible to directly aid the farmers. An interesting feature of the proposed aid plan is to send a man into rural districts to find out if it can aid farmers in meeting delinquent taxes and back due interest on farm loans. This presents a most unusual situa- tion in ‘North Dakota, for J. P. Morgan and Company, long |, regarded as typifying Wall street, subscribed $500,000 to the corporation and thus would be in a position of directly aiding farmers. Reports are now beginning to come in, with spring ap- proaching, that many North Dakotans — farmers and men engaged in other lines of business—have not found excur- to other pastures to their liking, and they desire to R EDITORIAL REVIEW ——— Comments reproduced in this may Rot ex column may ress the opjnion of The Tribune.

All at once the telephone bell rang and Mrs, Giant answered it. i "I just wanted to say that as yous ard Johnny are an hour late, I can’t do anything for him today,” said the dentist's voice. “You'll have to wait until next week. “I declare!” saiq ‘Mrs. Giant. “It's too funny about that clock.

Requests for the sale of school land by the state, requests of the Bank of ! North Dokot» for land and activity by private concerns points to a mild revival even in this time of agricultural de- press'on of dealings in North Dakota land. With no infla- | tion, with possibilities far above many other states in the productivity of the soil as compared to the price of land, there is every reason to believe that the normal readjust- ment now in progress will redound to the great benefit of North Dakota in a mild degree this year and to a far greater degree in the future. : DEATH COMES WHEN BODY BURNS OUT When will you die? Unexpected accident or illness may hasten the date, snuff you out prematurely. But, on the law of averages, your number of years on earth depends to large extent on your speed of living —how fast you burn yourself out. This is not speculative philosophy. It is exact science. Max Rubner, who is a scientific sacred cow among physio- logists, advanced this startling theory: Man is a furnace, born with a limited amount of fuel—potential energy. At birth nature gives us a fixed amount of undeveloped units of energy. We can develop and use them normally, and die at the normal age. Or we can use them up fast, and die young. Many people develop only a fraction of their natural energy—the fire goes out for lack of fuel. This is the Rubner theory: “For every pound weight of his body at maturity, the average man produces and con- sumes 362,900 calories of energy before he dies. Death comes when he has consumed that amount. Nothing that he can possibly do will make his body produce during adult life more energy than the 362,900 calories. And nothing can possibly prevent his death when this amount of energy is Lazy men are universally ridiculed. But lazy men usually are healthy and outlive the sprinters who burn themselves up prematurely. It’s like a forest of thousands of acres which can burn down overnight. The same forest, used up You can walk across the continent, 3000 miles, taking your time at it, and finish “fresh.” If you try to run the | same distance, you'll die not far from where you start — only a trained athlete can run 25 miles. Similarly, we can live quiet, normal lives, and live long. Or we can live fast, and die prematurely. Fast living is not strictly a matter of dissipation. Its usual form is overwork and nervous rush. y é Life, of course, is relative. We people of 1924 cram into ancestors had in years. had to live at least ten today do in one.

On the strength of these prem- ises, Senator Norbeck holds that in being asked to lend 50 million dollars to the farmers at this time le them to regain ground in ed farming they surrender- ed in response to patriotic appeals, the government is not confronted with an unreasonable demand. On the contrary, he believes the thing eeked is exceedingly modest and fair. Norbeck is correct in saying that the direct effect of the relief proposed will be felt in a limited area, namely, in some of the spring wheat communities of the Northwest, but he does not overlook the effect that the indirect benefits will be very far-reaching and shared in some degree by every interest in the land.—Minne- apolis Tribune. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Down the road of Beanstalk Land went Nancy and Nick toward the red house where the giant boy lived. They could still hear him crying, because, as he had also told them, he had to go to the dentist's with his mother at 10 o'clock. “We'll fix it some way,” Nick kept saying. “I don't blame him for ery- ing. We'll fix it so he doesn’t have to go.” When they reacheq the house the front door was shut, but they climb- | ing public perhaps heard of or some ed through the key-hole without any trouble at all. The clock on the mantel said ex- actly half-past 9, At that minute Mrs. Giant came in and looked at the clock. “My, my!" she exclaimed. “I didn't know it was so late! I shall have to be ready in 15 minutes to take Johnny to the dentist's, because it will take us 15 minutes more to get there. I'll go right up and get washed ang combed and change my dress and put on my hat.” No sooner had she gone than Nick whispered. “I know what to do, Nancy. We'll turn the clock back. Come on! This brick mantel is easy to climb. So up they went, not only because they were good climbers’ but because the magic shoes were a wonderful help as well. 2 The next thing was to open the big front’ door of the clock. This was not so easy, but where there is a will there is a way, and the glass door swung open at: last. Nick hopped up and grabbed the huge minute hand, and with all his might, turned it back a whole hour. Then they closed the clock dgain and hid behind a vase on the mantel. , In a few minutes down came John- ny’s mother. i “Ill have to call Johnny and wash his face all over again,” she said. “I do wish he would behave and not be! such a baby, He ought to know that | | for came bursting in, crying harder than ever. “Keep quiet, Johnny!” mother. “You don’ the dentist's toda “But I want to,” roared Johnny, “Tommy Jumbo gave me a bite of candy and I have the toothache.” Nancy and Nick slipped down, and out of the house. “I'll never try to help anybody again,” declared Nick. “I tol¥ you it was wrong,” scolded Nancy. “But you wouldn't listen.” (To Be Continued) said his have to go to PEOPLES FORUM + =o AN ANSWER Bismarck, N.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN PRECOTT,Tg SYDNEY CAR- TON, CONTINUED Syd, Ruth's answer to my ques- tion about women loving their chil- dren more than their husbands was most surprising. Without the slight- est hesitation she said: “Of course they, do. A woman has the same feeling of possession in regard to her children as a man has in regard to his wife. They aspire to be the arbitrators of their chil- dren’s fate. “This however is’ something that is going to be done away with,” ‘con- tinued Ruth, “for children are al- ready asserting their indepgndence. They willthardly now listen to dicta- tion without reason.” . Here, Syd, I' realized that I had been putting off the fatal question.
