The city has been busy for weeks in making its yards and streets presentable and a pretty good job has been done. Of course there are places that can be improved upon and doubtless the city and civic authorities in charge of the campaign will check up en these eye sores as was done so effectively last spring. : Every cooperation should be afforded those in charge of the campaign so that when the tourist season is in full swing Bismarck will look its best. ; After the cleanup don’t forget the essential paint-up. LAND SALES CONTINUE : Agents of the Northwestern Trust Company report great “activity in the sale of farm lands over the Northwest. Cheap :Jands are attracting actual settlers. There is not so much acreage being sold to speculators despite the low values in : the. Northwest. The flow of inquiries continues which indicates a deep interest in farming conditions in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana. On the whole, the outlook for immigration into this state is very promising. Just a little effort put forward by each :community will bring surprising results. POST BOXES .: Don’t let the new postal rates worry you. 3} Pay the extra cent on picture postcards and be glad you don’t live in Danzig. Poland was granted rights under the treaty of Versailles _to establish a postoffice in the Free City of Danzig. The Poles added 10 letter boxes scattered through the city. The boxes were painted in the Polish national colors. During the night. German sympathizers painted the sboxes in the German national colors. Poland, insulted, sent a squad of airplanes over the city. Prussia massed troops. Meanwhile the League of Nations ruled that the Poles had | inary city blocks. It has many ex- overstepped their authority in erecting 10 boxes. The case Shas been put to the world court for settlement. where league members hope the expense will fall heavy on the Poles as a *chastisement. any better. All because of 10 post boxes.

Surely my life with him has told me that he has enough sentiment within his soul to appre- ciate a real love letter from any woman—even a wife of four years. I think, little Marquise, it was Heine who said that love never lasts more than two years.

Freedom Ends When It Infringes on Rights of Others King Alfonso of Spain grows facetious on American “freedom.” Spain is a dictatorship. Nobody has any legal rights. But you can stand in the middle of the road without a policeman telling you to move on, drink what and when you like, and “sing your head off” all night. There is no such “freedom” in New York or London. Naturally not. But the reasons are not all governmental.

And yet, every rain which visited this district was traced by the weather bureau at least a thousand miles, from its origin in the Pacific Ocean to far beyond the rain-mak- er’s contract district. Not a drop fell from any storm local to the scene of his labors. Either he was calling cyclones from the distant deep, or he called nothing. Since scarcely anybody believes in rain-makers, this demonstration of their illogic may not be important. But it does illustrate the mental process of most of our popular il- lusions. Grandmother put goose grease on three sore throats that got well. Therefore, these three cases are more conclus to her and her de- scendants, than al] the hundreds of millions of sore throats in the col- lected experience of the medical pro- fession. Uncle Henry lost his mon- ey in a bank that “broke.” There- fore, you are “afraid of banks,” The whole trouble is simply lack of imagination. Those Tulare Lake ranchers could see the rain that fell in their own districta They could not picture it in its whole progress from the North Pacific to Mexico.

(To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1925, NEA Servi FIRST MAGNET By NEA Service Washington, May 8.—Magnetism was discovered morethan 2000 years ago; when a shepherd boy found that the iron-shod end of his crook was clinging to a stone. This stone, a hard, black mineral: which was an oxide of iron, came to be known as magnes-stone, as it was found in a district called Magnesia, In this way, the word magnet was derived. No use of the mineral was made for centuries, but at last a Chinese found that a piece of the mineral, when suspended, always pointed to the north and south. » Inc.) “RUBY RUSH” ON Rangoon, May 8.—A “ruby rush” is on in the Mogok district, as the re- sult of the discovery of a very val- uable ruby mine.
