Herriot’s retirement in France recalls the passing of Ramsay MacDonald. In many respects their careers were similar. They bridged the gap, served the purpose of their elevation to office and then passed from the political stage. Both of them have to their credit the adoption of the Dawes plan for the payment and regulation of the reparations. He gave notable service to his country and in fact to all Europe. Better fitted by disposition than Poincare, he was responsible for the German settJement. The Russian policy proved MacDonald’s undoing and the financial situation brought about the defeat of the Herriot government. TEACHERS PAID LESS There has been a general feeling that teachers’ salaries in this country have been quite generously increased in recent years, although few persons go so far as to consider teachers overpaid. In this connection some recent studies made by the National Education Association are of interest. That organization states that the average salary of all teachers in the large cities is now just 97.8 per cent of what it was in 1913, judged by what it will purchase. The aver- age salary paid has risen from $515 to $721 a year, an in- crease of 40 per cent. Since the purchasing power of the larger sum is less than was that of the smaller sum, the in- crease becomes a decrease. The association also says that “the teachers’ ,salary schedule, in the long run, more than any other factor, deter- mines the quality of the people attracted to the teaching profession.” The salary schedule must determine to a large extent the preparation of teachers and their disposition to remain in the profession. Starvation wages are manifestly unfair to this class of loyal and useful public servants. They are also unfair to the nation’s children, for they mean starved children. BUYING A FARM BULLETIN The Department of Agriculture is an effective institution, as governmental departments go. So is the Postoffice De- partment. Nevertheless— A citizen wants to get hold of a certain farm bulletin. He writes to the Department of Agriculture asking for it. He gets a reply, in'a couple of weeks, explaining that the supply of that bulletin is “exhausted,” but adding that the inquirer may possibly obtain it from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.. at five cents per copy, and that the purchase order must be “accompanied by postal money order, express order or New York draft.” So the seeker of that bulletin must go to a dollar’s worth of trouble, and additional expense, to get and mail the “postal money order, express order or New York draft,” instead of following the simple, obvious procedure of enclosing five cents in stamps, printed by the same government and paid for by him in his good cash. And all because, as a govern- ment official explained, there is no provision at Washington for the exchange of postage stamps between the depart- ments concerned.

BEGINS 21th YEAR (Ward Gounty Independent) The Ward County Independent, with this issue, begins its 24th year of continuous service. For nearly a quarter of a century, the ‘present pubdlishers have watched Minot grow and our community develop and have tried to lenc a helping hand in such development. The Independent has endeavored to keep apace with the times and the publishers have had enough faith in this district to spend every cent they have made right in Minot and vicinity. Every year the news- paper anc! job plants of The Inde- pendent have been improved and at present upwards of $25,000.00 aj year in salaries are paid to a coterie of highly trained special- ists who themselves are investing their earnings right here in Minot. We have had a great deal of fun in publishing The Independent. | We have done much hard work, have made a good many mistakes, ‘but realize that were it not for the fact that we have kept reasonably busy, we would have gotten into a great cleal more trouble than we ‘have, The Independent has seen Minot develop from a small western town into a magnificent city, the third in size in North Dakota and destined, we believe, to become the otate’s metropolis. We have seen a vast expanse of virgin prairie in ‘Northwestern North Dakota ‘be- come an Empire, dotted with beau- tiful farm homes, schools and churches, with fine roads pene trating every locality. We have seen the waving buffalo grass re- placed by well cuitivated fields of grain. The monotony of the prai- been broken by beautiful groves. Corn fields have obliterat- ed buffalo trails and herds of blood ed cattle now graze where the coy- otes had their lair. The Independent likes North- western North Dakota and her peo- ple and always feels sorry for those who see fit to seck their for- tunes elsewhere. We’ hope we can serve you for another 24 years. Our faith in the future of North Dakota was never greater than at present. AND PROGRESS” | (Duluth Herald) Walt Taylor, whose incisive wit and vigorous editorials in the La! Moure Chronicle, have brightened North Dakota journalism for years, must be getting old. He’s mourn- ing for the past. Someone gave him a ‘piece of head cheese the ‘other day that reminded him of the time when everybow'y made their own. “But today,” he sighs, “this delicacy is as rare as the fabled, dodo. And »y this token we know that the world is moving—back- ward. I may be wrong, but I see no hope for a recrudescence of gen- eral prosperity until home - made head cheese again comes into its own.” “HEAD CHEI New York, April 14,—A college pro- fessor and his wife came down from New England for a spring vacation. They were here four days and went to the theatre four nights and i4- tended matinees Wednesday, Thurs- day and Saturday. There being no matinees on Friday, they went to the circus. Which is’ just additional testimony that New York's theatres are maintained largely by out-of- towners. THE AIRPLANE CARRIER America is not altogether asleep at the hangar, oblivious of what perils may come by air. ‘There has just been launched at Camden, N. J., for the United States Navy, the fastest and biggest airplane-carrier in the world. The Saratoga is 888 feet long, 105 feet wide, displacing 35,000 tons, with 180,000 ‘horsepower land an estimated speed of 38 miles an hour. It will be equipped to carry 72 airplanes, which is quite a fleet in itself. Such a craft may be the most important factor in any future naval engagement. It will accompany battleships, cruisers and submarines, and the planes will be spewed forth to locate and sink an enemy before he can attack. But the uneasy thought arises that possibly Uncle Sam hasn’t got 72 airplanes of the proper types, in A-1 condition, to stock the Saratoga’s capacious inside. If so, it is time to get busy in the airplane factory, and keep busy until such time as the powers agree to limit their air armaments. UNFAMILIAR HOME TOWNS Students of the Tulane College of Commerce in New Orleans are making a survey of the manufacturers and man- ufactured products of that city. The purpose is to discover the.city’s industrial resources and to encourage the home ¢gonsumption of locally manufactured goods. -=The whole city, through this work, will learn a good many hitherto unconsidered facts about New Orleans. In almost any-community, great or small, there are important activi- ties. of which a great many citizens are wholly ignorant. * There are times when a plain citizen feels that surveys have been greatly overdone and that they never mean much ' or accomplish what they are supposed to accomplish. This probably because they are summarized and published in unnecessarily technical terms.

An old fellow from Illinois stop- ped to look at the debris scattered about Bryant Park where a new sub- way is being constructed. “Boy,” he said, “times have changed and you think you have a wonderful city here, but it isn’t one-two-three with what it used to be. Where the Public Li- brary is used to be a big reservoir. And here where they're digging the subway was the prettiest building I ever saw. It was the Crystal Pal- ace. As I remember it, there were upwards of 40,000 square feet of glass in the building. The first level was eight-sided and the second was like a Greek cross. I wag just a little bit of a shaver then, but I still remember it as the most beauti- ful thing I ever saw.” Of course, I never saw the Crystal Palace. Indeed, I had never heard of it. Yet I doubt if it was more beautiful than the Radiator Build- ing now standing oh the south side of Bryant Park, It is of black brick topped with spires and towers of gold plate. At night this top of gold is illuminated and the whole is like something in an enchanted city. The black bricks represent coal and the glittering top is for flame, And at night when a few dull lights glow in windows the illusion of the entire pile being a smouldering mass is created. & When the Crystal Palace was burn- ed 65 years ago it was managed by P, T. Barnum. Even in‘those days | ~ LITTLE JOE |! & Anais as GOOD AS His WORD, IF HE Dy 4 TOO Mucnm—vge any atk = WARD COUNTY INDEPENDENT! By NEA Service Washington, April 14.—A two-fisted soldier has been entrusted with the gigantic task of enforcing the pro- hibition law. General Lincoln C. Andrews, as- sistant secretary of the treasury, is especially in charge of the job’ of drying up the country. With a reputation for strenuous- ity much like that of General Smedley | D. Butler of the Marine corps, who has been fighting the sale of liquor in Philadelphia, it is believed that Andrews will put booze into discard, if any one can. Andrews is a West Pointer, who spent most of his army life as a cavalryman and served as deputy provost marshal general at Ameri- can C. H. Q. in France. He knows police work and has proved himself a capable executive through his connections as head of the New York transit commission and receiver of the New York and Queens County Railroad. He has an amiable disposition and is the typically lean, elderly cavalry- man, with a firnr jaw and piercing eyes, molded into a countenance that spells self-assurance. Andrews carries the air of a leader. who turns aside all barriers to reach his object. Under President Coolidge’s latest policy the new assistant secretary will be relieved of the task of chas- ing retail bootleggers. His job is to stop the supply of liquor at its source. If retailers do manage to obtain any, they may ped- dle it to their heart’s content, so far as the federal government is con- cerned. Arresting bootleggers will have to be attended to by local authorities, the president says—federal agents can not be expected to carry on petty police work. Weapons placed at General An- drews’ disposal are the coast guard, the customs service and the prohi- bition unit. With the coast guard the general will endeavor to stop the landing of liquor on the shores of the United States. Custom service officials will try to prevent smuggling across the Can- adian and Mexican borders. Prohibition units will seek to break up moonshining and jillgcit with- drawals from liquor warehouses, If prohibition can't be enforced by General Andrews, it can’t be en- forced by anybody—at least that is the opinion prevailing in official ngton.

BEATRICE SUM- MERS TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED I had intended, Leslie dear, to end my letter with my invitation, but I happened to think that you might be interested in the only mov- ing picture actress that you know personally, Paula Perier is not only perhaps “our best money-makery’ as Dick says, but she has steadily become one of the most interesting of wo- men. The other evening here at the house I had a friend from back east, a rather stupid woman who insisted that all who play upon the screen were subjected to greatest of temp- tation. She was frankly curious about the life of the moving picture people. & “I can’t tell very much about it in comparison with the life in society, for I never was a society woman, you know,” said Paula. “But I ima- gine that it holds only the same temptations and hardships that come to a girl who must earn her living out of the world anywhere. “I do not believe, Mrs. Summers, there is 4 woman\in the work-a-day world—if she be honest—who hag not at,some time or another had a sex temptation or at least a sex bribe. “It is a polite fiction that, average woman, especially unmar- ried ones, shall more or less ignore sex even in this day of its glorifica- tion, But every man from the time he is twenty until he is seventy is potentially interested in every good looking woman he sees.” My friend from the east gave her a sharp look, : “Do you mean to tell me that it makes no difference whether he is married or not?” she asked, “Not the | slightest,"Paula an- swered. “Don't misunderstand me, however.

In practically governor is the government. century, the president has bee! so much more important than any- thing else that we tacitly turned the whole government over to its only efficient branch. Legislatures and Congress, our own direct representatives, the safe- guards of our freedom, fell into in- creasing contempt, for the one un- pardonable sin of inefficiency. The right remedy would have been to make them efficient. It can be ;done. The experience of the world has shown how. But it was easier to take the de- partment that was already efficient jand make it the legislative as well as the executive branch. It works, on the whole, surprisingly well. Un- til we can do the other thing, there is nothing to do but cling to it. But free government needs other things, as well as efficiency. We must have the efficiency, even if its price is doing without the oth- er things. Italy and Spain are ex- emplifying that in its extremest form, America can best escape the risk of their fate by setting resolutely at the task of securing representative freedom and_ responsibility without | sacrificing efficiency.

The increasing complexity of life made efficiency strictly unofficial persons from all the nations around the Pacific, for the strictly unofficial discussion of the problems of the Pacific. Unless there is danger of the sus- picion that it doth protest too much, doubtless a reiteration of its strict- ly unofficial character will be a routine feature of the opening of each session. But there will be a real value in this strictly unofficial basis of dis- cussion. This applies particularly to the most delicate questions of all—those affecting Japan and the “white” na- tions of the Pacific So far, only two sorts of expres- sions of Japanese opinion ‘have been available. One was the necessarily restrained’ and “correct” expressions of offi- cials. The other was the unre- strained, not to say reckless and ir- responsible expressions of yellow journals and demagog politicians. Neither, of course, means. any- thing. A gathering of representa-_ tive and responsible persons, whd carefully do not represent anything and are not responsible to anybody, can express conservatively and in- telligently thé real best opinion on both sides of these issues. Such an expression, the more un- official the better, will be invaluable in enlightening official understand- ings and negotiations later. FABLES ON HEALTH CAUSES OF HIVES An application of hot towels is the most effective temporary relief for hives, Mrs. Jones learned. The hot towels should be barely touched to the affected parts, and then instantly withdrawn so-as to avoid blistering. If the touching is repeated this| way a number of times*it will afford ,Telief from itching, and will gener- ally cause the eruption to disappear. Sometimes it is most convenient to hold the affected parts over a bath tub and splash the water om it with a basin. over the top to keep her feathers from blowing away. She couldn’t pluck her goose very often, of course, for each time she plucked it, she had to wait a long time for a new crop of feathers to grow on fgain. So it had taken her quite along time, several years, indeed, to get the But at gast the barrel was full— right up td the lid, and Mother Goose decided that the first day there was no breeze, she would take her feather barrel out to her back yard and stuff her old tick full of new feathers. “Daddy and I sh warm as toast next winte: .

It. was the very morning ‘that y and Nick and Mister Whizz cl the bad goblin to Daddy Gander Town.
