THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) A PLEA THAT FAILS Opponents of President Coolidge and the Republican party in the campaign have failed to make the political ‘apital they expected out of the disclosures in the Washing- ion investigations. They have sought to fasten the label of dishonesty upon the prudent and thrifty Yankee in the White House and have failed dismally. Every attack has deen met by a plain statement of what the President has done to keep the government in the paths of honesty and efficiency. His statement, when he accepted the Republican nomination, was direct and «forceful. President Coolidge said: “There are those who would leave all this (accomplishments of administration) for an undertaking to convince themselves and others that the chief issue of the campaign is honest government. In all my studies of political history I can not recall an administration which was desirous of a dishonest ana! corrupt government that, for the purpose of checking extravagance, ever undertook to introduce a budget system, to cut down taxes, to purge the pay rolls, to make enormous reductions in the public debt, and to lay foundations for the peace of the world. That is not the way of dishonesty. The Government is sound. But individuals charged with wrong- doing are being prosecuted ‘The people of the country hate corruption. They know my position. The American Govern- ment must be clean.” Dismissals from office, indictments by grand juries, appointment of men above reproach—these are the answers of President Coolidge to those who would make him wear the cross of dishonest government. It is because of the firm, calm manner in whieh the President proceeded to: purge the government when disclosures were made that has inspired the country with faith in him. GETTING THE VOTE OUT The League of Women Voters is performing a real educational service in seeking to bring home to each voter her responsibility. Indifference toward elections results in minority selections and aids gang rule. There is no better way to overcome this form of inertia than to hold frequent conferences for the purpose of impressing upon everyone the necessity of voting. Those who refuse to vote should not find fault with the kind of government they get, for in most instances the people get -the kind of government they deserve. In some states fifty or sixty per cent of the people stay at home on election day and it is from this group of slackers that the loudest com- plaints come when graft, extravagance and inefficiency creep into the administration of public business. When the women received the ballot, it became neces- sary to educate them along party lines—not partisan lines. The League of Women Voters seeks votes fer no special party, faction or clique, it merely impresses upon women voters the need of studying issues and parties and then de- ciding as conscience dictates. It is a worthy and necessary work in view of the indif- ference throughout the length and breadth of the land to- ward elections and thé failure of voters to participate in the various activities of popular government. DESCENDANTS Fifty direct descendants attend the sixty-fifth wedding anniversary celebration of A. J. Wakefield and wife at Pana, Ill. If every one reproduced as prolifically as the Wakefield family, and death did not intervene to make. room. for new- comers, a century or less would have this earth so tightly packed with folk that no one would lie down. Standing room only. We have to get out to make room for newcomers. Nature has this for her scheme and she will never tolerate its frus- tration by medical discoveries enabling people to live an average of 150 or more years. New ways of death will de- velop as old ones are conquered. “DEATH-RAY” From San Francisco the inventor, Edwin R. Scott, claims he and other American scientifie workers were experiment- ing with “death-rays” before the Englishman, Grindell- Matthews, was ever heard of. Invention rarely is the cre- ation of any one man, but rather the outcome of generations of effort, each of-a long chain of inventors contributing his, share to the final product. We fail to see, though, how the invention of a murder- ous “death-ray” or any other such device of warfare is much to boast:of. - The original inventor of the rifle was Satan in human form. RADIO-MOVIES Hetty Green’s son believes, from experiments he and his staff of engineers have. made, that it will be possible to broadtast radio-movies within 18 months. Not long to wait. The next step will be some form of television, by which you'll’ look in a box or on a-screen and+see, by radio, a show, prizefight, battle or presidential inauguration afar off. Radio is solving considerable of the passenger transpor- tation, problem by making it unnecessary to travel to “be in on the entertainment.” Ane OFFSPRING A:news picture shows a Georgia fiegro and his wife with 19 of their children. .They have three others, not present when the newspaper photographer -came galloping up. out of breath.

Despite the backward sen- son this year splendid corn was raised in this section of North Da- kota with the prospect that a con- siderable amount will be ripened. That the tremendous increase in corn acreage in the United States will not endanger the price is indi- cated by the following article from the Harvester World, pub- lished under the heading “Indus- try, Corn and Prosperity.” It is reported that. one hundred sixty - eight commercial products, exclusive of food products, wre’ now being manufactured ont of corn. : Scrutator in the Chicago Trib- une recently called attention to the development of processes within the past year by which corn sugar as white and palatable | @s cane or beet sugar is being manufactured. It has about three- fifths the sweetening power of the latter, which is not an objection to its substitution in innumerable formulas. Scrutator intimates that an ad-| campaign would popu- ize corn sugar and build a con- sumer demand national exten:. He thus offers, in substance, his opinion that the manufacturing cost would be such that lively competition would ensue between corn sugar and the two establish- ed_sugars. Thus grow demands for corn never dreamed of by our agricul- tural fore-fathers. The future of corn prices and of those of beef, pork, and mutton of- fers a field in speculative inquiry in which those who prosper only when agriculture prospers may find much food for optimism. The uses for corn multiply and an increasing number of bushels ig being diverted from corn's tra- ditional course through beef, pork, and mutton. In recent years.a billion bushels of corn heve been added to the annual production, so that the present normal output {3 nearly four times the country’s yield in wheat. Despite this enor- mous increase, no one speaks of an overproduction of corn. It ia not unreasonable to believe, with the growing of industrial in- terests continually in the market for corn, that prices will come to} ‘be more profitable in relation to the cost of production. The great- er the demand the more the farm- er would have to say about the price; andthe steadier demand would less often force him to take a loss. Undoubtedly also, the farmers would make more profit both on the corn he put through his beef, pork, and mutton, as well aa on any increase in meat prices due to the more intense competition for his corn. In this growing industrial de- mand for corn may well lie the motivating force of an era of agri- cultural prosperity in the middle west rivaling the best of its his- tory. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE MAGIC POTATOES Pretty soon the Sand Man and the Twins came to Squeejick Land. The bag of sleep sand was half full but the Sand Man said he would have to have the rest before night- fall as he had only enough of the niagic staff to put two hundred ba- bies to sleep. “I don’t know what the rest will do if we can’t find it,” he said. “I wonder if Tweekanose really came here after all?” remarked Nick. But even as he spoke they saw footprints. Squeejicks have feet like frogs and the Sand Man knew the difference. “Yes, sir! The rascal has _ been here,” he said. “Perhaps he’s here yet. Now for the sleepy sang!” “How do you do?” said a Squee- jick just then as he ed on his; way to market. ‘You séem to be looking for sométhing. Can I help you?” He was very queer, the Squeejick wis, with frog’s feet, bird’s | wings and rabbit éars. “Certainly, thank you,” said — the! Sand Man. “We've lost part of the magic sleepy sand. Have you seen it?” “Whales are big And fleas are small, I have seen nothing of it at all!” said the Squeejick. And he went on his way to mar-; ket. “How do you do?” said voice close by. And there was Squeejick Number Two on his way to the barbers. “Yau seem to be looking for same- thing,” said he. “Can I help you?” “Certainly, thank you,” said the Sand Man. “We've lost part of the magie sleepy sand. Have you seen it?” ’ “Water is wet And land is dry, Nary a thing of it know I,” the Squeejick. | And he went on his way to the! another said | barbers! But scarcely had he gone when Squeejick Number Three appeared on his way to the-candy. stote. “How do you do?” said he, polite- ly. “You seem to be looking for something. Can I hetp you?” “The moon is squafe You may. rfot know it, But more than one can be a poet.” suid the Sand Man quickly. Suddenly. the. Squeejick around in all directions and ‘whispered. “Who told “you to do looked then that? Who told you to say a rhyme before I did?” “No one,” . aid the. Sand Min. “But it seems to be all THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Cause and Effect! WHEN The Lab” OF THE HOUSE LEAVES ALL “THE House WORK TS AWE HIRED GIRL go V¥¢H a AMINGS ARE Bound To 6O here in Squg:. Land. I knew you were going to say a rhyme and I just thought that I would say it first.” “Well, you hgve broken the spell,” said the Third Squeejick. “Now I'm allowed to tell all I know. Twee- kanose brought the rest of the magic sand to the king’s palace and the royal gardener planted potatoes in it this afternoon. “The potatoes grew at once and as each one had a hundred eyes the’ can see you coming. The king knows that you are here by this time,” “We'll have to'find a way to get the sand, king or no king,” said the Sand Man to the Twins. “Come along.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

At that time, in my foolish d_was born the idea that if I aged to find some way for Karl 'to give these pearls which in a way were a rosary of the years of Karl's life, to Leslie, he would be forever grateful to me. At that time I did net realize that perhaps the sight of those pearls about my sister’s neck would unloose such emotions of jealousy that I would not be myself. I only thought that the planning and putting into execution of ways and means in the giving to Leslie of this necklace would give me a secret in company with Karl, besides more or less confidential conversations, with him. Oh, Mother dear, I know it was a wild ‘scheme, but I was hardly more than.a child. As I think of it now I have almost decided that the only mature thing about me was my great love for Karl. Besides, Betty Stokely and I had ideas at that time of writing the Great American Novel, and the pearl necklace episode seemed to me to be an original and wonderful chapter to put in it. The giving of the imita- tion pearls to Leslie from me seemed to be most romantic. I did not think far enough ahead to realize she must inevitably find out they were real. EVERETT TRUE WA-A-AH! Poor Karl! You know his, idealistic nature, Mother,. For 15 years he had been collecting those baubles for Leslie, and they represented so much to him, he snatched at any plan to get them into her possession, He seemed to think that with Leslie's marriage his life was over—and he, too, was still young enough to be ro- mantic. You know the rest. You know how I gave them to her on the morning of her wedding day. Of course, neither of us expected the complica- tions that followed, Then I went to England and Karl came over soon after. Finally I brought out a proposal of marriage from him. All the while the ghost of Karl's first love hovered about and scourged my jealous fears into a veritable torment. When we came back from abroad and I found that Karl had bought back some of the jewels that Leslie had sold, I think I went mad. Then, of course, as you know, I descended to that most dastardly of actions, the writing of an anonymous letter to John. Mother, I do not know why I did it. I haven’t the slightest idea of what good | thought it would do me then. I expect it was the hope I might make Leslie as miserable as I was. You see, I was ‘sure Karl still loved Leslie; of that I am not so sure now. But of one thing I am sure— Karl has lost all the little love he had fr me. Mother, I made him marry me by avowing my intention of killing my- BY CONDO I SUPPOSE WHILE Oo Were FRYING THIS SSTEAK YOU HAD YouR HEAD OUT OF THE KITCHEN {WINDOW GOSSIPING WITH THe I WOMAN NEXT Door !} }.

CUP OF COFFEE By Albert Apple That pleasant institution, the 5-cent cup of coffee, will soon be only a memory: This sad news is conveyed by a |speaker at thé restaurant owners’ national convention. It will’ depend on whether competitors will come forward j with coffee at 5-a-mug when restaurants kite tHe price. | Coffee is the king pin of the eating-house business. One {large chain of restaurants built up its trade largely by rea- | son of the excellence of its coffee. A good cup of coffee, coming at the close of a meal, takes the curse off a lot of poor cooking that has gone before. And if the coffee hasn’t that indescribable flavor for which Amer- icans are so keen, the whole meal is apt to become a regret rather than.a pleasant memory regardless of the tastiness ot the food. That a cup of good coffee should be served for 5 cents is | something the average American considers part of his heri- tage, not to mention that it is an institution of democracy. To charge him miore is tempting fate. It’s like taking the baby’s rattle away, or trying to wrest peanuts from the éle- | phant’s trunk. i Still, a lot of other famots 5-cent institutions have prac- \tically passed — including a, big serving of pie, the nickel cigar and the ice cream soda. , That revolt in Brazil may interfere with our coffee sup- ply later. An aggravating complication is that the coffee crop this season is below last year’s. As to how much, esti- mates range as high as.a million and a half bags. Americans use more coffee than any other people—over 200 million dollars worth a year, in the raw state, wholesale price. We’re now consuming over 18 pounds of coffee a year for every man, woman and child. This is two pounds more than in. 1923. -Prohibition is responsible for this increased drinking of coffee. People are getting from coffee a part of the stimu- \lant they formerly secured from a bottle with a revenue stamp pasted over the cork. The presidential candidates overlooked a good bet by not j chamnlonity the 5-cent cup of coffee in their political plat- | forms. FABLES ON HEALTH MAKING BANDAGES It has been said that there are no ‘emergencies for those who are pre- pared, Mrs. Jones generally had on hand bandages and preparations in case one of the children might be hurt. Every house accumulates old linen jand, instead .of. throwing it away, why not make it into handy ban- dages for an emergency? Be certain that it is thoroughly clean, tear it into strips two. or three inches, wide, placing one end upon the-other and sew together with soft thread: until a length of twovor three yards has been obtained, Then roll them into soft bundles and half fill a well-cleaned glass jar. At the top pack a good wad of ab- sorbent cotton and put a light weight at the bottom. To thoroughly sterilize set the jar upon an inverted plate in a kettle of cold water, deep enough: for the water to come within an inch of the hottle’s neck, Put the kettle upon a slow fire and let the water reach a heat of 180 degrees and maintain this heat for three hours.
