The election for official paper of Burleigh county, and a final Tribune’s vote came spontaneously from its great family of _ readers, as its campaign was limited to a bare announcement and reminder to many friends of the election. It is the aim of The Tribune to present a newspaper that may be read by all Burleigh county citizens, and to do its part in the advancement of the general interests of the citi- zens of Burleigh county and the city of Bismarck. It is the desire of the newspaper to give its readers the benefit of increased service as official publication for the county. The Tribune desires to thank those who cast their ballots tor the newspaper in the primary election, and to express appreciation of their support. A DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS The result of Wednesday’s primary in the state presents a difficult case for diagnosticians of the condition of the body politic in North Dakota. In the first place it was apparent ‘from the light vote cast — there have been elections within the last few years in which 50,000 more votes have been cast *than were cast in this primary—that many voters were der- elict in theirduties as citizens, and remained away from the polls. § It appears from the trend of primary figures that this lethargy operated to the disadvantage of Governor Nestos, and was an important factor in his defeat, if not the controlling factor. Many of those adhering to the Inde- - pendent faction believed that the election would be an easy victory for the Governor, and doubtless were moved by this ‘epirit of over-confidence to remain away from the polls, Taxation was an important factor. It is seldom that the administration in power in any state makes a radical change} . i» the tax laws and is indorsed in the next election. It is peculiar of the usually generous citizen that if his taxes are redy ed t'irough such laws he believes he has received only Vhat he deserved, and owes no one a favor because of it, while the citizen who is adversely affected is prone to believe that he has been injured personally and he must retaliate. Certainly the question was not met squarely on its merits iy it was an important factor, because the platform of the opponents of the administration now in power, judged by the past history of the industrial program, means more taxes if carried out. (Resentment over appointments, the tendency of any political organization to lose its solidarity after victory and fall prey to factionalism; general dissatisfaction over condi- tions — all entered into the vote} This is an “anti year” :pparently, as is evidenced by many political turnovers in elections. ~It is almost axiomatical that in elections the fvcrage one of us will vote against something rather than * fox. soniething. =} Pit is possible that the injuries suffered by A. G. Sorlie, the victor in the gubernatorial contest, resulted in a sym- = pathy vote which was of some help to him. It cannot be fairly said that the result decided any great = issue, The vote cannot be construed as an indorsement of ihe industrial program. It is true, as many workers in the «. mpaign found in conversation with voters, that numerous people regarded Mr. Sorlie as a successful business man, and Keélieved that he would make a good and successful executive of the largest single business in the state, that of its govern- men Regardless of the ability of Mr. Sorlie of the soundness ‘of his proposals, it is unwise that that there would be a con- tinual change of parties in power in the state. Each change ‘af administration, beginning from the time of the recall elec- _tion,. means a postponement of the settlement of the ques- ‘tion’ of gtate industrialism on a fair, business basis, and on athe, principles involved in the whole question of the state “éngaging in these enterprises. SOLD America is selling to foreign countries at the rate of 830 milion dollars a year more than it’s buying from them. : nice balance—if we ever get the money. *the world is to sell to a deadbeat. . 2; Our imports from abroad are.averaging $332 for every $370 we export to our foreign trade customers. Qur export customers, in order of importance, are: United Kingdom, Oanada, Germany, Japan, France, Cuba, Italy, Australia, China, Mexico. Easiest thing in Canada reports officially that its exports of liquor last year, totaled less than 14 ‘million dollars. At the very most, sthis means that not more than two million quarts of whisky ‘game into our country from Canada—or only a quart a year for every 54 Americans. ja. The booze flood from outside our borders is big, no deny- ing; that. But it’s not as big as imagined—at least, not in the case of Canada, popularly supposed to be a main source . of supply for American bootleggers. te SPENDING MONEY Rockefeller gives $40,000 to carry on the research work Dr. Niels Bohr, leader’in the scientific struggle to learn tey to release the terriffic imprisoned inthe atom, and make $40,000—and it has to be ‘monument is erected to the of a Russian princess who died in 1919.

There likewise been no thor- “ough consideration of the types of “casesq Which should be cared for] “jointly, and which would harmonize } “from an administrative and medical “point of view.” To remedy this situation the Acad- } emy of Medicine has decided to pro- | ceed with a study of the convales- cent needs of the city, with a special | view to framing a community policy | and developing medical and admin- j istrative standards for the guidance of convalescent homes. In connec- tion with this, it plans to organize | a central reference bureau, to fur- | | has nish information and to act as a sort of clearing house, in the hope | of facilitating a better distribution | of convalescent patients to the exist- | ing homes and hospitals, and of as- | suming treatment best suited to the | needs of each individual case. Pro- ceeds from the Sturgis Research Fund and the Burke Foundation will be available in the maintenance of this bureau. : By the new system it is hoped to enable patients to leave the hospi-{ tals as soon as possible in order to #0 to the most appropriate home, thus @lieving the strain on the hositals’~ facilities. It is not im- probable that the greater emphasis laid on the needs of convalescent patients will make it easier for the | existing convalescent homes to ob- tain enough support to be able to function’ at. full efficiency. A re-| cent preliminary survey made for the Academy shows that although the existing facilities are reasonably sufficient they are under-utilized, for various reasons, such as lack of funds and restrictions as to admis- sion, The work of the Academy in tudying the problem of convales- cence is clearly of value to the homes and to the hospitals as well as to the tens of thousands of pa- tients who will pass through them. New York Times. Information on Universities of World Given Geneva, June 28, (A. P.)—U information concerning world versities is contained in the first quarterly publication of the inter- national office of the university in- telligence, which was recently creat- ed as a new cooperative feature of the League of Nations. These publications will endeavor to coordinate in compact form in- ternational university informatior and fulfill the purpose of the new office, which is that of serving as a bridge between the higher institu- tions of learning in all countrics. They will relate the exchange c1 professors and students, list the books of interest to university people, and catalogue the adminis: trative measures adopted by vatious universities ‘concerning the condi- tions under which foreigrers may follow courses of study, explain scholarships, the tuition cond:tions affecting foreigners and set forta the special course which may be open to them, The first number of the review publishes the results of ar inquiry among international students’ as- sociations on an organiation for the exchange of students from one country to another; the conditions| under which studgats wor! abroad, and questiops touching university courses in general. Under the heading “university in- formation” appears the text of a convention on the mutual exchange of students between five countries of Central America, communications sent in by the national university offices of the United States, England, Denmark, Spain, France, Holland and Switzerland, ang notices from var- ious international associations of students. Bokhara, Khiva Become States of Soviet Russia Allahabad, India, June 28~Rus- sian control of the former Khanate of Khiva and the Emirate of Bok- hara is now firmly established, says the Turkeston correspondent of the Pioneer. The activities of the fam- ous rebel leader, Jumaid Kha Khan are likely to be defeated during the next few weeks. These two former vassal Khanates of the Czarist Empire are now styled Republics, and are bound by treaty relationships with the Russian Sov- iet government. The Turkeston Republic, with its capital at Tashkent, is officially de- scribed as an autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic. UP TO DATE, Slats—Do you meet any stage rob- bers while .you were out west?

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | “Come on,” cried Johnny Jump Up, the merry little garden fairy. “Aren't you dressed yet?” ‘ “We'll be there in a minute,” said Nancy. “Where are we going tonight, Johnny?” “I don’t think we'll go any place unless we can find the titmouse,” said Johnny, “He seems to have dis- appeared altogether. That’s why t want you Twins to hurry—so we can hunt him.” The Twins put on the little shoes that Johnny Jump Up gave them and instantly they became as small as pepper corns, if you know how, small that is. . % ie: Then down they slid to the magic garden. “Tommy, oh Tommy Titmouse, where are you?” they called. All’ the little violet, fairies huntea, and.the little Dutchman. in the tulip hunted, and the little Scotchman in the blue bells hunted, and. the little French fairy in the pansies hunted, and the cowboy, fairy and the ‘tiny Turk hunted 3nd everybody hunted. jut no one had seen ‘Tommy.

He wore suspenders, rather than a belt, and couldn’t be bothered by such a thing as garters. With men it’s belts, hats, shoes, garters and neckwear. Few men consider neckwear when thinking of articles that may be too tight and yet many minor ills and uncomfortable feelings can arise from a tight collar or a tightly tied necktie. Tight hats can affect the hair growth, checking. the circulation in the scalp and tight belts can’ bring circulatory and’ other troubles in the abdomen. wat Look out: for ddnstrictions of all sorts. At best they breed discomfort. It isn’t necessary to be either ex,| treme or faddish, however. Just get the word “tight” out of the vo- cabulary of wearing apparel. With women it’s generally ‘corséts or shoes. Constriction from the for- mer can lead to serious ailments; from the latter to extreme discom- fort and pain. 1 sclemn voice. “Now I'll’ have a chance to give..my lecture.” And looking where the. voice came from, everybody was surprised to see Juck-in-the-Pulpit standing under his cenopy and looking as solemn as a preacher, “Sit down, everybody,” said Jack. So Nancy and Nick and Johnny Jump Up and all the other garden fairies sat down on the ground to listen. : “My lecture ig on the moon,” said Jack. “The moon is round except when in . Sometimes it’s just a slice. Sometimes it’s rightside up and sometimes it’s wrong down up and scmetimes it's standing on end.” “The moon shines only at night,” went on Jack. “No it doesn't always,” said Nick.) “I've often seen it in the day time., If you look hard you can see it right in the blue sky.” “Buy it doesn’t shine It just shows,” said _-Jack-in-the-Pulpit. “There is a big difference. As I said before—the moon shines only at night. The man in the moon is bald- headed and fat and jolly and—” “Oh say,” said Johnny Jump Up. “Did you hear the verse I made up about him?” - “No,” said Jack-in-the-Pulpit stift- ly. “This was it.” said Johnny. And he recited: . : EVERETT TRUE 4 . — “The man in. the moon is so short and so fat, He can’t bend over this way or stoop over that, He has not seen his feet since the Fourth of July, But he says that’s his shape so there’s no use to try.” “The lecture is over for tonight,” said Jack-in-the-Pulpit.

I seem to put myself into my conception of your soul and body-— that’ sounds rather complicated, doesn’t it? Nevertheless, when I write to you I am two people —Les- lie Prescott, who. goes along with her every-day affairs, who records her actions and her reactions in: the average manner; and another Leslie Prescott who comments upon these actions and reactions, who solves her problems, sympathizes with her mis- takes’ and passes judgment uyon the every-day Leslie Prescott, wife of John Alden Prescott, in reality. In other words, Little Marquise, you are the escape valve which al- lows the real Leslie Prescott to get all surplus steam out of her system, and you are very comforting to me. Mother #rescott showed me this morning where she thought our little secret drawer was placed. When she invited me to go with her to look over the outside of the beautiful desk she had given me, I could not refuse, but I was sick at heart for fear she had really found our hidden receptacle, Much to my relief and joy I was able to demonstrate to her, however, that she was wrong. That place was filled with a locked box for jewels It, too, was hidden away behind a little cabinet door, and she had never found that when she had owned the desk. I. was. particularly glad’ to show her this, because’ now she'll be «satisfied, and I will never have to worry about somebody interrupt- ing our secret. It's a strange thing, little Mar- quise, to note the effect that Priscilla Bradford has on Mother Prescot She has been very. different, very picky, ever since’ that o]d gossip called upon her. I wish I could find some way to. make the Bradford woman stay away from the house, but I can’t do this without putting myself in a wrong light, and Jack and I have quarreled enough with his mother over her. I was awfully put out to. think she should know: that Jack was angry at the bobbing of_ my hair, and I reserited the fact that she was at our house the afternoon I arrived. It spoiled.my home-coming complete- ly, especially. as ‘she immefiately found. place,, when she knew that John -had objected to m; hair, to say to Mother Prescott that she was per- haps -fortunte in not being married, because she did not have to consult any one when she wanted to bob her hair ér make any other little change in her personal appearance or mode of living.
