The nature of its business section is frequently a subject of favorable comment. It is not a one street city and the business men should be interested and alert in seeing that its well rounded development is not retarded by the intrusion of playgrounds, or extension of school facilities in that area. This city as it grows will naturally develop east and west along the following streets: Main, Broadway, Thayer and Rosser. Chief streets to intersect these, running north and and Second. Within these boundaries as far as possible the development should be along business lines. Unfortunately before anyone realized the rapid develop- ment of the business section of the city, the Will school was ~ located, hemed in upon a wholly inadequate plot of ground. If it is proposed to add a little back-yard to this school house through the purchase of lots on Fourth street, the plan should be discouraged by all those interested in the business development of Fourth street. In the first place the lots discussed as a possible “back- yard” for the Will school are too small for recreation pur- poses. They are also located in the line of natural expan- : sion.of the business section of Bismarck. As Bismarck grows, it is not beyond possibility that } the entire block bounded by Thayer, Rosser, Fourth and Fifth streets will be business property and desirable for in- dustries of one kind or another. That day may be nearer than most people realize, when the property occupied by thé Will school will be more valuable for business purposes than S. . J Investing the tax-payers money in a small area of land for playground purposes touching on the business section of Bismarck would be the heighth of folly. Any proposal along such a line should be discouraged for it is not in har- mony with the proposed zoning plans recently fathered by the Association of Commerce. : MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS Easy money through lucky winnings often parts com- pany with the winner. Such is the case of a man who re- cently won $20,000 by suggesting a name for a new national Magazine. He is now being sued for wife abandonment. His first “investment” was a six cylinder car and a “twin six” bottle of “hootch.” Tips of from $5 to $10 were passed : out promiscuously to taxi-cab drivers. The tragic comment of his wife was: ¢ . the money we were poor but happy.” Then there is the other side of the picture. Recently a = very bright high school student won a home through an essay upon the best system for lighting a domicile. She is = going to keep on studying. Her “investment” will help to - finance her education and good probably will result. 4 If she had won in a beauty contest no telling the spiritual havoc the success would have worked. After all it is the personal background and stability in the face of failure or success that count. we iS} 5 a & > J Ss cy ey & “Before he won veer sorene PROMOTE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY Bismarck can be the center of an active.sugar beet in- dustry. Its bottom and other lands are ideally fitted for the . culture of the sugar beet. If sufficient acres can be placed * under contract, in time- would follow the refinery, additional payrolls and new capital to share the tax load. A most prom- =jsing project for the Association of Commerce. “Facts About Sugar,” a trade journal devoted to the in- terests of: the sugar industry, emphasizes the:fact that the consumption of suggr is increasing much more rapidly than the population. In the year 1910 the per capita consump- tion was about 80 pounds and in 1924 it had reached the im- = posing figure of 105 pounds. Less than one-fifth of the sugar : consumed in the United States is produced within its bor- ders. Consumption in this nation amounted to 5,781,000 tons while production was only 1,043,000 tons. It is estimated that the average yield of sugar beets over a period of years is six tons per acre. Last year’s crop sold at an average of $9 a ton. = Fi WHEAT Winter seedings of wheat in Europe are below last year. Reports from seven countries show a reduction of about 4 per cent. , However, says the Department of Agriculture, this de- crease is not sufficient to offset the increase,in areas seeded in United States and Canada. So we need not fear a wheat famine, although Europe’s shortage is sufficient reason, economically, for our wheat prices to soar as they did recently.

So far more of the judges have been able to settle such claims as skillfully as did Solo- mon, though most of the modern courts have referred to the Bibtical | case. When Solomon, son of David, was king of Israel, there came be- fore him two women, each of whom claimed to be the mother cf one and the same baby. As they gued with evident glaring eyes and frowns before Solomon, he museu Suddenly he cut the argument short by sending for the court swordsmen, for the purpose, as he urbanely announced, of cutting the (baby in two, so that each of the women could receive half of it. | At this announcement one of the women shouted to the king in a dramatic plea: “0, my lord, give her the child; never kill it!” The said: “No, divide it; neither of us shall have it.” King Solomon's eyes twinkled. | “Give yoncer woman the child, in- stead cf killing it; she is its moth- ert But Solomon. was the world's wisest man at that time.

Leslie is recovering much faster than we could have hoped. She sat up yesterday and the nurse ‘tells me this morning she is even much bet- ter than she has yet been. She told me last night that she was anxious to get back to Pittsburg and get her home in shape so that she could entertain and be entertain- ed once more, “I am getting to be an old frump, Ruth,” she said. “I don’t think I have smiled in months.

She has been trying to do up to date, something that no woman can do. She has been worshiping an ideal. This of course can be done if one does not try to compress it into human form, I have almost come to the conclu- sion, Walter, dear, that this is the great trouble with marriage, A wo- man never really loves a man—just a man with all his frailties and foi- bles. She loves the ideal she has en- shrined in his physical shape.
