Houghton in Bismarck yesterday should furnish food for thought on the part of many people of German extraction in western North Dakota, who still feel keenly the ties of relationship in Europe. Mr. Houghton, in well chosen words, explained what the Dawes plan means to Germany and what it means to the Northwest. Germany was in chaos. Europe also was declared totter- ing. The League of Nations was impotent to solve the prob- lems of Europe. But the United States, standing apart cm Europe’s quarrels, under the Republican foreign policy, uble to step in as a disinterested party and point the path to settlement. It was President Coolidge’s Secretary. Mr. Hughes, who first suggested the nonpartisan repara- tions commission of business men, taking the problem out of the hands of diplomats and politicians. Charles G. Dawes, President Coolidge’s running mate, was named to head this commission. So simple, forceful and clear was the plan that it cut. through the meshes of European diplomacy and now stands adopted by the interested countries. The plan provides means for economic recovery by Ger- many, means by which she may restore her world commerce. That is essential to the well-being of England, France and|t other nations. But it is of particular import to Germany, since it means wiping out unemployment, providing food and clothing for the ‘German people, and restoring their spirit and morale. That was accomplished through the for- e'gn policy pursued by President Coolidge. a Does that foreign policy mean anything to the farmer of the Northwest? Mr, Houghton answered the question et- so Pretty soon he came slow! They are not here,” he si -Crow knows them well and he - would be sure to know.” “Dear, dear!” said Daddy Gander.

This country’s production of steel ingots in September was a half more than in July, the very dull month. One more climb like that and the steel mills will be operating at top speed, advertising for help. American industry certainly must be in good health when its recuperative power is so great. To crawl halfway out of hard times in 60 days is quite a feat, Old-time panics used to drag along for years. I’s the iron age. For every 100 tons of steel manufac- tured in a year, 41 tons wear out by use and by rust. — rest is more durable—such as rails, bridges and machinery | that last for years. But the wearing out of such a large amount, and the, need of new steel to replace it, insures the mills of a good So with other industries. sity of replacing the old and worn-out with the new to take its place would bring business booms if nothing else did.

In 1800 there re in the United States only six cities whose popu- lation was over 8,000 and these, contained only 4 per cent of the population of the entire country. in 1900 there were 547 such citie which at this time contained 3 per cent of the country’s popula- tion, But in 1920 the number of such cities had increased to 924 and contained 43.8 per cent of the total population. ‘Tox! nearly one- half of the American population lives in places over 2,500 inhabi- ‘tants, a tenth in villag nd hard- ly more than two-fifths in the open country.

FABLES ON HEALTH HABIT When children are attending school given times for study should be set aside and, as near as possible, this time should be adhered to. Encoyrage regular, habits in home study, concentration and attention to the task at hand. Give the child or children a place as free from noise and distraction as possible. They will find enough distractions without furnishing any. Watch that the lighting is suitable. Fix a time, either afternoon or evening, when the studies should be and South Dakota, Wisconsin.

THE WEST (By Florence Borner) a BREEDING -. Tuberculosis of the lungs, dread destroyer, in 43 years has killed 18 million people in 23 countries. These countries “Nave only a third of the world’s population, so the total death toll must have been about 50 million lives. The World War takes second place as a killer. Of course, the 50 million victims would have died of some other malady if they had escaped T. B. Man will never be able to evade death though he increasingly closes and seals many of the dosis through which he exits into the Hereafter. Worried by the centuries-old delusion that the population is going to increase faster than the earth’s ability to sup- | it with food, a professor urges people to breed scien- | ally for smaller size. He figures smaller people would, i eat less. | Nature takes care of all this. She has made the Japanese smal! because there are so many of them in a country that has little cultivable land.
