No class of people will benefit more from a venture of this kind than the farmers of Burleigh county. The cost per quarter section will be so slight com- pared to benefits derived that no one will feel it. A fair properly conducted will aid agriculture immensely in Burleigh and surrounding counties. Here will be a com- mon ground upon which the farmer and his co-worker in the various towns can meet, exchange ideas and create closer contact in both a social and business way.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed ip the press of the day. American Bar Association there was much discussion concerning the pre-{ valence of crime in the United States and what was termed by one of the | speakers a lack of vigorous enforce- ment of the criminal laws,” says The Manitoba Free Press “It was announced number of criminals creasing according to the supplied by former Whitman, of New York, — the/| number of murders in New York! City in 1921 was 260, while there | were only 63 murders in England| and Wales, which had seven times | the population of that city. Another, speaker claimed that approximately | 10,000 muiders were committed in the United States in 1923, 50 times; as many occurred in England andj Wales. ‘In United States,’ he went! on, ‘life and property are less secate from criminal violence than in any ether country on the globe thet is not in a state of barbarism.’ “Another statement was that the majority of the inmates of peni- tentiaries south of the line are under 25 years of age. Perusal of Canadian newspapers would lead one to the conclusion that at least insofar as the commitment of crime is concerned Canada is also reaching for place on tiut bad eminence. Statistics, however, sup- plied by the Dominion Bureau in- dicate that we are still a long dis- tance behind the figures quoted for the United States. In 1921 tnere were 76 murder charges in € and 17 convictions; in 1922, | { that the! was ins! figures | Governor | of a Corn and Dairy Show should be a live-stock sales pavil- ion At small expense, a structure can be provided, heated , ‘and arranged for frequent sales throughout the entire year. | Such a building would be available for farmers’ institutes and_even a mid-winter auto and industrial show. The county commissioners state that they have lopped| off more than $70,000 from the budget for the coming year. | This is a good beginning toward the kind of economy that | should be practiced by every county in the state. That such! a saving can be effected and still provision made for a levy | in aid of an agricultural fair indicate what can be done when each department of county government is held down to rigid economy. Aid voted a fair means probably not more than $1.25 to the average taxpayer, surely a small sum to promote the greatest industry in Burleigh county upon which rests the; sole prosperity and commercial future of this community. | In Bismarck, the hub of the corn and dairy industry of | North Dakota, is the natural place for the North Dakota Corn and Dairy Show. It’s appeal would be state wide for here can be built an exposition that will compare with the best in the nation. With the proper cooperation between the businessmen and farmers a great success can be made of this venture. Three or four times a year thousands can be attracted to this section of the state, many to stay and apply their cap- tul and energy to build up a great, prosperous common- wealth. With the.proper management the Corn and Dairy Show ahould develop as a great county community affair. It’s grounds should be parked so that during the summer months they can serve the people of this section. Probably the most interesting and most successful venture of this kind is /30, this out of a total \'Figures are given for every year charges and 19 conviction: slaughter charges there 1921 and 39 convictions; in 1922, 88 | charges and 45 convictions.

Heartburn, nausea and disturbed stomach are common symptoms dur- ing this period and few women es- cape them. The simplest remedies are advisa- ble: some milk of magnesia for the acid condition—this to be used also as a mouth wash; some bicarbonate of soda in water; a saltspoonful of soda placed upon the tongue and dashed down with water. Some persons find relief in the use of a few ounces of cream. Others are helped by the use of alkaline waters which fight the acid condi- tions obtaining.

POOR RICH MAN “Take my advice, and, if you ever get the money-making fr: bee, don’t let it get you.” Lester T. Barker, a wealthy and retired St. Louis business man, is talking. The bee got him and its sting has made him very unhappy, he candidly admits. As a “kid” Barker was like other boys. He read books and he found joy in the companionship of his playmates. ¥hen he grew up and went into business. He made his plans deliberately and observed them rigidly. He would make his pile and then play. His business =. be:ume his life. He avoided society and social relaxations. | He read no books, save those whose pages were filled with black and red figures—figures that told the daily story of his trade and the profits thereof. Always he worked. E And riches — great riches — at last were his. Then he stepped out of his business and sought the happiness he was sure his money would buy. Came now the jolt of raw discovery that money is not all} and everything — that happiness is not a commodity to be that, although there were nearly a easily purchased with dollars laid on a counter.
