One plane in southwest Texas is spraying poison dust to kill boll weevils, at $1.30 an acre. The plane flies about 10 feet above ground. FE Only $1.30 an acre for the poison and its distribution by airplane! It’s a remarkably low price, compared with hand * spraying. Isolated cases like this part the curtains and reveal how useful the airplane will be in the future. Application of planes to poisoning destructive insects is far more important than any round-the-world flight. . QUARANTINED A victim of a relatively mild disease, such as measles, is quarantined. Victims‘ of tuberculosis, ,virulent social diseases and so on, are allowed to roam at large, endanger- ing the public. These dread diseases will sweep the population until victims are isolated. The cost of supporting them would be terrific. But it would pay in the long run, and part could be charged to the safeguard future generations by bond issues. Ontario, Canada, for instance, is active in compelling the segregation of tuberculosis unfortunates. SPOILED More than 12,000 seizures and prosecutions, for adulter- ating and misbranding foods and medicines, have been made under the national pure food and drugs law. Offenses range all the way from putting an olive oil label on cottonseed oil, to marketing impure medicinal drugs. This is a start in‘the right direction, but only a start. Foods should be safeguarded all the way until they reach consumers’ mouths in a pure state. Cities, for instance, should have ordinances compelling sterilization of spoons and forks used at soda fountains and eating places. STOLEN Financial crimes cost the public 3000 million dollars a year, reports American Institute of Accountants. The figure has been broadcast before. But it’s worth repeating. Fake - Stocks take a third of the total. Credit frauds get away with 400 millions, embezzlements and forgeries 200 millions. The rest comes under various other classifications of theft. It’s a big total. Such losses are buttered out over the entire public, so about 6 cents out of every $1 an American earns is taken from him as toll to crookedness. That’s one item of cost of living. : CROOKED Three billion dollars in financial crimes alone. More billions for theft of pro- perty. Still more that are lost by petty dishonesty—short- “weight, short-service and other forms of giving less than one is paid for. : It requires no Kinstein mathematical genius to demon- -Strate on paper that a fifth of the American people’s income is absorbed by dishonesty. Why not teach, in the schools, honesty as an exact science, more profitable than crooked- ness? NEWSPAPERS ts: . Fewer but better newspapers are predicted by the head “of Columbia University School of Journalism. What is meant by a “better” paper? Fifty and more, years ago, journalism was better than today—in fancy writ- sing, looks of the printed product and other forms of tech- nique. But modern papers conspicuously excel the old- ‘imers in telling both sides, especially in politics. The old- timers were usually one-sided, unfair and unscrupulously partisan. 2 DOPE At the international conference to curb the use of opium and other narcotics, American delegates will propose reduc- tion in the acreage devoted to growth of poppies and other »plants that supply the drug addict. Dope is an international problem. So is liquor. As time goes on, you'll find the dry squad concentrating more on world prohibition, less on individual “nations. As long as the stuff is made in one country, others sawill find a way to get it if they have the price. VANISHING America’s oil resources will give out in a generation and its coal supply within 2000 years, claims Sir Richard Red- “mayne, the British mining expert. He adds that the British dEmpire’s coal will be exhausted in a few centuries. Seems a Tong way off. But natural resources are steadily being consumed and not replaced. What then? Making a living will become increasingly difficult as time goes by. ARKANSAS =.

THROUGH JAPANESE EYES (New York Times.) In stressing again that Japan! was disturbed by the manner rather than by the fact of the ex- clusion of her people from the United States, Mr. Yusuke Tsur- umi hag helped to clear up a point but little understood in this coun- try. The Japanese people, he ex- LE oe i a year are stolen from Americans’ the Institute of Politics, had be-| come reconciled to the principle of exclusion at the time of the| Gentlemen’s Agreement. What they resented was the abrogation of that agreement and! the substitution for it of legisla-| tion which implied that Japan had | not kept the faith. This to them| was a blow at their national hon-{ 0 r. It was the method rather than the substance which American friends of Japan also deplored. They questioned the necessity of abrogating the Gentlemen's Agrec- ment and denounced such action as_discourteous and unpolitic. The activities of the Senate, inj particular, seemed to be based on a desire to avenge a fancied threat! rather than to deal tactfully with; a delicate situation. Not even the unwise use by the Japanese am- bassador of the phrase “grave consequences” warranted the brusque and unmannerly action of the Senate. Desirable as it is for the Amer- ican people to understand the Jap- anese point of view, it is essential for the Japanese to understand the American point of view. Rightly or wrongly, immigration was the question—in fact, the sole question—in American eyes. Dis- regarding the criticism of those fanatics who claimed that Japan had not lived up to her part of the Gentlemen's Agreement, the un- derlying motive of the overwhelm- ing majority of the members of Congress who supported the immi- gration restriction dill was to handle the entire problem as a| domestic issue, and, in the case of the Asiatics, to embody in permanent form the restrictions which in the past had been con- tained in treaties and agreements. | Rightly or wrongly, the Amer-| ican people were opposed to any further immigration of non-assim- ilable races. A few of the more far-seeing felt that by settling the |matter once and for all it would, ! cease to be a source of friction, ' and the ,unassimilable aliens | would be less exposed to local, \jealoustes and animosities. | In so far as the Japanese in particular were concerned. these! observers felt that the history of Chinese exclusion pointed the way.: ‘So long as the Chinese continued | to increase in numbers race pre- judice grew. Since they have de- clined race prejudice has declined. ; The bitterest opposition to the | Japanese in California ig in those! {regions where they are numerical- ly the strongest. It is a safe pre-! diction that when their numbers fall resentment against them will gradually disappear. |THE RISE OF LABOR PARTIE j (World’s Work) The organization of voters of the laboring classes into definite party forces has become an estab- lished fact in most European countries. In Great Britain the, Labor party is the most numerous | tof all, or at least it possesses the/ largest voting strength in parlia-| ment.

He said to tell you.” “All right,” said Nick, “but if I were you I wouldn't ride a bicycle in nice new clothes. Mebbe you'll tear them.” . Ih, we won't,” said Scramble. “All right,” said Nick. Scramble’ hopped on _ his bicycle and Scamper .hopped on his and away they went toward Maple Tree Flats, where their grandaddy lived. But just as they passed Mister Woodchuck’s house they struck a puddle where Mister had been sprinkling the road to keep down the dust, and Scamper skid- ded, and his bicycle struck Scram- ble’s bicycle, and away they bot! went sprawling in the mud. : Up jumped Scramble as cross as a bear. “Just look what you went and did,” he yelled. “You're a nice one so you are!” “It's all your fault,” shouted Scamper. You said to wear my—"; “Didn't!” k “Dia!” t And they started to pinch ‘each other something awful.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Scramble ‘Squirrel rode his bicycle up to the store in the woods where Nancy and Nick were working. Then he got off his wheel and left it leaning up against a tree and went in. “Got any suits?” he’ asked. “Lots,” said Nick. “Well, grandpa sent me in to get {one for school,” said Scramble. “It starts on Monday.” “All right,” said Nick. color do you want?” “Oh, any old color,” said Scramble. “Blue or gray or--gray, I guess. And say, I need a new shirt, too, ;and some new shoes and a hat and everything. Grandpa Cracknuts said to fit me out. Here comes Scamper, my brother. He wants something too.” “What “Well, we'll fix you all up,” said; Nick. “Come and see what you would like.” Pretty soon both squirrel boys were all fixed up from top to toe, and Mister Snip Snap said they looked better than he'd seen them in months. Scramble had a nice cap and a shirt with horse-shoes all over it, and a necktie with pussy-cats on it —and shoes that squeaked nice and loud—and everything. And Scramper had about the same thing, only his shirt bad cowboys on it, and his necktie had bells and The corn-fed girl of yesterday now has a corn-fed daughter of today, but it is a different kind of corn.

Senutieu. SUNSAINE. ERE iS SUNSAINE KY SOUL TODAY — LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE, CON- TINUED With a queer look at me, Ruth, my husband sprang toward the door. “Here, old man, here’s your ‘Muv- ver.’ Let her see what a big boy you are. Big boys don’t cry. Go over ‘Woodchuck| there and tell her how much you love her and how you're going to take care of her when you grow up and love her better than even your father does.” Little Jack looked from his father to me, and with that uncanny in- sight that children have he sensed that something was wrong. But when he crawled up to my side on the bed, he put his tear-wet face down close to mine, and with his tiny hands wandering over my bosom and up on my pulsating throat, he said: “Zackie going to ‘tay here with you always. Daddy can go home. Zackie ’tay here.” I brought him to me with such a close caress I must have hurt him, but there was never a quiver of the brave little mouth as he murmured: “I yove you best of all.” Ruth, at that moment there was born in me a love that I am sure no child of my own can in any way erase. I felt as though he had chos- en me of his own accord, and that with all his little soul he loved me. “Here, here, what about me?” asked his father teasingly. The boy looked at him uncertainly, then held up his face for his father’s kiss. “Leslie,” said Jack brokenly, “do you know where we are? Aren’t we just entering that beautiful land of ‘Beginning Again?” “Yes,” I whispered as my arm stole around his, “and ‘a little child shall lead them.’ But alas, how fallible are mortal plans. The telephone tinkled at that moment beside my bed. Jack an- swered it. I saw his face grow gray and stern, and you would not think (NELe sm < Ine MATTER € A Little Old-Fashioned Music IN that a man’s voice could change as did his, , “Mrs. Prescott is quite ill. She cannot come to the ‘phone.” “But Jack,” I said, “it’s right here by my bed. I can answer it. Who is it?” Jack raised his voice a little. “I say Mrg. Prescott is ill. cannot come to the phone.” “Who is it, Jack?” I peremptorily demanded. For answer he said: “If you have anything of importance to say to Mrs. Prescott, Mr. Whitney, will you please write it to her?” = There was silence for a moment, then again Jack spoke: “Yes, I am Mr. Prescott.” Evidently Karl was trying to ex- plain. My temper flared. I reached over and snatched the telephone from Jack. “What is it, Karl, what is it?” “I wondered if you had received my letter.” “Yes, I have received it.” “John says you are ill.” “I only fainted last evening. This morning I am all right. Tell me what you want to know.” (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) | MANDAN NEWS | FUNERAL ON FRIDAY Funeral services for M. J.

HUNT NEA Service Writer Washington, Sept. 12—Great Bri- tain took one step toward interna- tional disarmament when Represen- tative Tom Connally of Marlin, Tex., arrived in England a few weeks back. Tom, being Texas born and bred, wears, as an essential part of his wardrobe, a shooting-iron. With- out a gun he fells only halfclothed. A real Texam like Tom will go with- out collar or tic, even without = shirt, and feel more dressed up than eman residents of he will without his gun, _, Tom tried to do the decent thing, though, when he started for Europe as a member of the House select committee investigating Sihipping Board affairs. Just as he realized a Texas som- brero and boots would make him unduly conspicuous and weren't in gcod taste for a Congressional tour abroad, so ‘he realized too, that tc wear the regulation ‘l'exas 45 six- shooter was a trifle too much like toting heavy artillery.

Tom Far From Gun—Shy, But He’s Shy a Gun If labor has a sense of humor, it must be getting one big smile out of the attention it is receiving just now from the presidential camps. The Labor Day pronunciamentos by Coolidge, Davis and La Follette were only an incident in the efforts of the presidential aspirant to lure the labor vote. No one objective in the campaign of any of the candidates loom larger than that of capturing tthe vote of the nation’s workers. The effort to offset the endorse- ment of La Follette by the Amen- can Federation of Labor, and to make § appear that this ndorse- ment does not carry the approvat of the rank and file of labor vot- ers, is recognized as the biggest single undertaking the Republi- cans and Democrats face as the cempaign gets under way. Just how seriously this: labor. sit- uation is regarded may be sensed from the steps taken to provide a pilgrimage of “labor leaders” to the White House on Labor Day. President’ Coolidge received this delegation, headed by T. V, O'Con- nor, chairman of the Shipping Board, and delivered to them a speech setting forth his views on the condition of labor. Next day Democratic leaders, seeking to block any advantage the Republicans hoped to achieve through the visit of labor repre- sentatives to the White House, charged that the “labor leaders” who listened to Coolidge, were in large part, like O’Connor, who draws a $12,000 salary from’ the government, now in government employ in various capaeities, and that their trip to Washington, in- stead of being a spontaneoud pil- grimage to the Coolidge shrine, had been arranged for by party managers and financed through channels interested in Republican success. Chairman Butler denies he thorized the “labor” but the Dems insist that is was, nevertheless, largely paid or out. of the patlonal committee's campaign es: au- expedition, years ago he came to Jamestown and inns entered the employ of the Northern Pacific there as a brakeman and for some years ran on the Mott branch.
