It is a report of experts in finance and economics. Perhaps, as a wag remarked at the time the report was published and the pre- miers of the various governments immediately accepted it, they did so because it was easier to accept it than to read it. But the Dawes plan, after being accepted, apparently will be put into effect. The inter-allied conference has pro- cecded to a point where this seems certain. Bernard Baruch. an observer of world fimance, has de- clared that if the Dawes plan goes through the world will enjoy five years of prosperity unprecedented in its history. If the Dawes plan means this every one is interested. The intent of the Dawes plan was to end the squabble over German reparations. It sought to fix definitely the debt of Germany, arrange terms and presumed an arrangement whereby Germany could be forced to keep those terms, and then sought to provide means by which Germany could pay. The Dawes plan, in short, was based on the premise that European and world prosperity could not come until the reparation problem was settled and that Europe could not live in peace and accord until Germany and France were committed to the same plan of settlement. With a staggering reparations debt hanging over her, Germany has drifted on. seeking some method to avoid pay- ment. and like a man who is so far in debt that he feels he can not get out, dissipated such means as she had without regard to the future. Her basis of money was shattered in the fall of the mark, her budget showed a heavy deficit, her credit slumped and political decay set in. The Dawes plan would give Germany an objective. It would point out the way for her to regain her business solid- ity. It would establish a definite debt which she could set cut to reduce through creation of wealth and frugality. The Dawes plan does mean much to the world. Perfect or im- nerfect it is the only plan suggested for the settlement of the problems growing out of the World War in Europe. America. therefore, receives with genuine enthusiasm the ren>t of the agreement in London. HE KNOWS, BUT WILL HE? “It is a wise man who knows when to stop work,” says Rev. James Anderson of Syracuse. It is a wiser man who stops upon knowing when. The country is full of men who are fagged out by the daily grind, who know it, and yet, with one excuse or another, don’t stop. They can’t afford it, they think, and yet a good rest is a money-making enterprise, in the long run. Or, the old shop or office wouldn’t get along, if they laid off ; and so, the rising young lieutenants in the business get no candidate can be wet and loyal to his government. Other because they haven’t been tested or given a chance at ex- perience, the business does break down when death or disease compels “the old man’s” vacation. The business that is dependent solely upon No. 1, day after day, is in a shaky condition, in these times, and the best way to teach No. 2 how to swim is to take him by the hind leg and throw him into seven or eight feet of water; that is, get out and give him a chance to show what is in him. A good vacation is medicine and a profitable business en- terprise, and every fellow whose nose is on the grindstone of hard work is entitled to it. This sounds just like a doctor coming in and saying “You're sick,” and letting it go at that, with no attempt at relief. So, we’ll add a prescription: * is Take a fish rod, or a gun, or a put-stick, or the old “Liz- zie” and go ’way off somewhere where telegrams, letters and other worldly affairs, save, perhaps, mosquitoes, can’t get at you. _. The grindstone will go ’round and ’round as usual and some bright young lieutenant will be sharpening his wits on it, for the good of the business, : A MORAL ISSUE TO FACE Senator LaFollette thus far has not been called to task for anything except his so-called radical views and actions. The Christian Science Monitor, a publication enthusiastic efd-energetic in the maintenance of prohibition, calls upon him to state his views on the liquor question. Senator La- Feilette has been classed as a wet. This publication insists no candidate can bet wet and loyal to his government. Other #rdent prohibition agencies and organizations doubtless will demand an answer from the Wisconsin candidate for the presidency. : CORREGIDOR =; It’s whispered about in the army that American troops in the Philippines will be concentrated at Fort McKinley, Manila, and on Corregidor Island—our own Gibraltar in Manila Bay. .. Corregidor constantly is provisioned and munitioned. for # two years’ sieze. Over 200 pieces of heavy artillery are meunted there. Gamble they could hold out until we built a big enough navy.

Stanley Washburn of Lakewood, is running for congress. And North Dakotans who have come in toucn with his work in this state, where he is heavily interested financially, will hope that he ts sent to Wash- ington. He would be a valuable man in the lower house for that body needs progressive clear thinking men of his type. Certain it is that his Republicanism can stand the acid test. Maj. Washburn has demonstrat- ed his energy and ability as a builder, in developing the infant lignite industry of this state. He made a survey of the situation which confronted hia mine and other mines of the state two years ago when the lignite mines were expected to make up for a large part of the shortage of fuel in the Northwest resulting from the strike, and he proceeded to or- ganize the North Dakota Lignite Coal Operators’ Association and became its president. Under his direction, the organization has stabilized the coal industry in this state and hag started the lignite mines on the road to expansion and prosperity. His leadership was particularly emphasized in the manner in which the opera- tors’ association successfully op- posed the increased lignite freight rates which the carriers sought last fall. The launching of a broad devel- opment plan for North Dakota was urged by Maj. Washburn last fall when he brought to the state on a speaking tour under the auspices ot civic organizations in the lar- ver cities. He backed up his sug- gestion by constructive action and he can justly be given credit for doing a man sized fob in telling the rest of the nation about North Dakota. If North Dakota had half a dozen eastern men who are as fair to the state in which they have investments as Maj. Wash- burn, and who would match his efforts to encourage greater ex- ploitation of the state’s resources, there would be less _ criticism heard of financfal intreests. He is the type of investor any young state needs. New Jersey, and that part of New Jersey making up the third district in particular, ts going to j have a mighty fine representative in Congress if they elect Maj. Stan- ley Washburn. The west will find in him a representative from the east who knows something about the problems of the west. And that’s an unusual situation for the great trouble with Congress is that it is made up of men who know only their home constitu- encies. In “Maj.

Doll’s House for Czar When a young mun of twenty- four, Peter the Great of Russia went to Holland. He was working at different jobs so as to be better fitted to become ruler of Russia. In Utrecht he saw a miniature doll’s house, furnished down to the mi- nutest detail. In the library were paintings two inches square. Cab- inets re filled with thumb-high porcelains from Japan. Special carpets were manufactured for the house, and the linen was woven in Flanders. Peter the Great took a great fancy, to this tiny palace and offered any price for one like it. ‘The bulld- er, a retired merchant, would not accept money ‘for his handiwork. but offered to make one as a gift for the young czar. The lilliputian mansion, complete after 25 years of labor, is now in the Royal museum, Amsterdam, says Mentor Magazine.

MONDAY, AUGUST 4; 1824 THE BUGSGOTOWAR "By Albert Apple : Grasshoppers have been so thick in Texas this summer the people have had to fight them with: arsenic by: the train- load. In South Africa the government has just appropriated { $1,500,000 to fight.a plague of locusts, the worst. on record. ‘In one district, near the Orange river, a single swarm of locusts “extending in an unbroken mass 150 miles in length” is reported to have devoured every bit of green vegetation. The peculiar weather of the last few years has been very | favorable to insects of all kinds. Army worms have been | destroying crops in the Middle West. Grasshopper plagues. Further progress by the boll weevil. So on, insect: eremies, { countless. billions of them, driving farmers neatly frantic. Reputable scientists frequently point out that a battle is on, between men and insects, for: supremacy on earth. Some even believe that the insects will win. ; It wouldn’t take many insect victories, on the scale.of the raVages of the boll weevil which is wrecking the American cotton growing industry, to bring men close to starvation, If the corn borer, for instance, gets as far beyond control ‘as the boll weevil, it would eventually be a greater national loss than the money Uncle Sam spent in the World War. ‘ Fortanatély, man wins in the long run. Take the ‘disease- carrying mosquito. It has not been vanquished, but it has j been driven back—curbed. Everything in nature has its destroyer and is, in turn, a destroyer itself. Man kills the insect. The insect kills man, by conveying disease, and also destroys his crops. ‘ Falling water destroys the mountain gradually by wash- ing it away. The mountain destroys the valley, slowly fill- ing it. ‘ Grasshoppers eat the crops. pers. ‘Man eats the chickens. Destruction balances or equal construction: ‘The destroy- ing and constructing are the manifestations of the activity known as life. -Nothing is permanent in our exiatence of three dimensions. Life is an experience, a journey, a suc- cession of changes. It would, after all, be a dull life if we didn’t have these changes—including insects to battle. We'd win against the insects easily if we were as united and active against them as when we destroy each other in war.
