What shall THE STATE’S OLDEST Nf \VSPAPER I do? LESLIE. (Established 187::) THE ZONING PLAN Bismarck took an advanced step when it created a zoning commission. That commission’s proposed report now ig on file with the city auditor, and a hearing will be granted all citizens. After the hearing is concluded the city commis- sion may adopt the ordinance proposed. It may on first thought appear unnecessary to create 2 zoning plan in a city the size of Bismarck. However, Bi: marck, like many other cities of the west, has before it many horrible examples of the failure of old eastern cities to adopt a zoning plan when they were small. Cities which grew without a definite plan are often unsightly, the business and residential sections are so mixed as to hinder traffic and prevent healthy living conditions. However little or much Bismarck may grow it is well that it grow along the right : lines. The right kind of a plan means a more attractive city, amore healthy city and a more convenient city. One of the dangers of permitting a city to expand without a pre-conceived plan is that valuable property may suffer ‘greatly in value, whereas if a city is properly zoned any . persons content to invest money in a city in the future may “be assured of reasonable protection for his property. This means greater willingness to build, an inducement for better and more beautiful buildings and generally of benefit to the city. The zoning plan presented for the city of Bismarck rep- resents the careful thought of men able to handle the task set before them. They give it as the best they could conceive for the city. It appears in cursory study to be an admirable plan. But citizens have the opportunity to make suggestions for improvement, and it is certain that both the zening com- mission and the city commission would welcome beneficial and unselfish suggestions. It is to be hoped that Bismarck will in the near future be a “zoned” city, and that the plan will be adhered to strictly in future years. jitself felt, the sum was §$7,061.- it 000,000.

She says the lad is quite bright in other studies, but she fears he will never be able to master arithmetic. The trouble probably is in one of two reasons. First: Arithmetic is taught in the most interesting way possible, to reach the average child. Educators long since realized that. making a subject interesting is-the key to arousing mental perception and making a study indelible in memory. But this particular lad may be one of the excep- tions to whom the present system of teaching mathematics is dull and unattractive. What is the remedy? We suggest getting this lad inter- ested in figuring baseball percentages. Or, if he likes to “play store” at home, encourage him to keep books on his imaginary sales. : Baseball has greatly increased the average boy’s knowl- edge of mathematics.

V hile these farmers were heading for the cities, the nopulation of the United States increased 1,400,000. A little arithmetic shows the result is there are 2,400,000 more city residents to feed and a million fewer farm producers to feed them than a year ago.

This column has repeatedly spoken of the decline of party au- thority in recent years and its prob- able results. Now we have one of the results predicted—an alliance of two minority groups to form 2 working majority which favors a number of bills which are contrary to the interests of business and the general welfare, which repudiate public economy and contemplate vast unnecessary expenditures with inevitable increases of taxes to follow. It is hard for us to b the masses of the Democratic Party will be pleased with the new alliance of its representatives in Congress. They are, in our judg- ment, likely to rebuke it at the polls when opportunity comes. — Chicago Journal of Commerce. ent LITTLE JOE | Ef MANY TIMES THE PRODIGAL SON FAILS To COME HOME “TILL THE FATTED CALF IS OLD AND TOUGH ° Cook by Electricity.

It seems to me that it would be appropriate to station a couple of men in the upper part of the house with canes and with the power to use them if found necessary.

So it goes with other studies. We know a man who school was a dumbbell at history—simply because he wasn’t interested. He wanted to write for a living. writing now —and writing history! began to interest him because he found he could make money out of it. So he began to study the past. Every child, except the exceptionally brilliant, has at least one subject in which he lags. Ponder the studies at which he stars, also the ones in which he is “dull,” and probably you can figure out what kind of work he is going to follow. ..
