No race has contributed more to the development of this section of the state than the hardy Norse immigrant, the “sod bus- ters” of the early eighti id nineties who tilled the North Dakota and Minnesota prairies. A fitting tribute should be given their part in blazing the trail for present day development. It was a hardy, hon- est and courageous stock that came into this state ahead of the railroad and in any kind of a contrivance that could nego- tiate the difficult trails often beset by hostile Indians. They had to fight against the elements as well as the redskins; their victories were not easy ones, but they stuck to the task and helped materially in producing a great commonwealth. President Coolidge, high state officials, and representa- tives from many foreign lands will gather at the Twin Cities. It is fitting and deeply significant of the debt owed these hardy pioneers that official notice is to be taken of the cele- bration. The whole Northwest is cooperating to make this event a most outstanding one in the annals of that group of states which honors as her sturdy citizens thousands of Northmen. Kresge Bldg. NORTHWEST THRIVING The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis reports a seventy-five per cent increase in the valuation of new build- ings compared with March. Merely another indication of returning prosperity to the northwestern section. Bismarck is beginning to reflect building expansion. Several new structures are proposed in -the business section. Other buildings will be remodelled and expanded indicating a healthy growth in the business volume of the Capital City. There is building activity in the residence district that establishes a new record for the last two or three years. The supply of homes is not meeting with the demand. Many who wish to reside here have found the housing problem an acute one. The need of four or six room bungalows that can be rented at a moderate rate is still pressing. : MERELY BEING PRUDENT ‘, French newspapers object to Ambassador Houghton’s , Speech because Americans “preach” too much. They get it “wrong. We do not preach good faith to Europe. We merely practice prudence for ourselves. The European peoples can make their own decision : whether they will trust each other. We leave it to them. But we will trust them exactly as much as they trust each -other. Their credit for the purpose of peace depends on the probability of their keeping that peace. With what measure they mete confidence to each other, by that measure our people will extend credit to them. NORTH DAKOTA WHISKERS “Minneapolis trade booosters saw at Wahpeton the other «day that besides No. 1 hard wheat, this state can produce a “goed crop of whiskers. The seventeen feet and four inches, ; on the Richland county farmer’s chin, however, is not to be confused in the minds of the Twin City “dude’s’ with the -North Dakota alfalfa crop. It is now up to the directors of the Bismarck Association of Commerce to trot out a five legged calf or a two headed “pussy,” to greet the St. Paul trade envoys. TROUBLE A London magistrate has caused a flurry with his an- nouncement that women are more deceitful than men. This judge is apparently of childlike innocence or of re- markable courage and daring. In the first place, his conclusion probably isn’t true. And if it is, why court the wrath of half the world just to get your name in the paper. OFFICIAL NOW What has become of the old-fashioned American hus- band who was arrested for beating his wife because she bob- ber hair? Queen Mary of England, the standpatter of styles, has decided to permit bobbed-haired and short-dressed girls to , court. Berlin will see another kind of warrior when Dempsey fights in the German capital parks.

Editorial Review _ Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express A TIP TO NORTH DAKOTA es | (St. Paul Dispatch) | Not since E. E. Harriman’s; $1,000 prize winning letter, ad- judged best in 100,000 submitted in the “Truth-About-California” con- test, was exposed as an epistle of | fiction, has the Los Angeles es, so much ds mentioned Minnesota—. | except for routine news dispatches jand special reports of inclement weather in the Middle West. After | having stated that “nothing but the truth would be acceptable to the judges and that invidious com- pariscns were merely hurtful to their chance and hostile to the pur- poses: of the contest,” the Times has ignored the fact that the in- vidious comparison in its prize- winning letter was shown to be “bunk.” It has suddeny forgot all about Minnesota—and shifted its attention a few points northwest by west. “The trouble with North Dako- ta,” says the Times, referring to the Nonpartisan league, ‘was that the things it advertised were a detriment . Ios Angeles has something to advert something that the world delights to see, and it doesn’t hide its light under a bushel.” That is it, of course. North Da- kota should adopt California methods. When it has an earth- auake (political) North Dakota should not advertise the fact at all. Do not mention the detriments. Keep them a secret. Los Angeles citizens have just voted in favor of a mayor who, the Times de- clares, has been a serious handicap upon the city in a very great num- ber of ways. If North Dakota follows the California methed, that should be big news in Fargo. The Fargo Forum should have exelu- sive dispatches from Los Angeles telling of the dire misfortune which has befallen the city. It should have special correspondents stationed throughout California | and the rest of the ccuntry—ex- | cept North Dakota—so everv time | there is a frost or an earthquake or a snowstorm anywhere. except in North Dakota, the details could be blazoned on the front page. It sbould say, as the Times does when the big n comes from Florida, “South Dakota hard hit.” That's the way to do it, North Dakota. | ° (La Moure Chronicle) The Chronicle has heard very little about grain grades and weichts during the past few years. And we have a suspicion that the explanation of this lies in the fact that our wheat is coming more and more to be bought and sold on the basis of protein content than on the basis of grades. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVK ROBERTS BARTON MRS. RAZOR-BILL'S EGGS “Mrs. Kittiwake and Polly Puffin} and Mrs. Razor-Bill ate and ate and | ate,” said Peter Penguin as he went on with his story. “They were at Mrs. Razor-Bill’s to tea and she had so many good things to eat, they ate like pigs. “Do you have another clam!" said Mrs. Razor-Bill to Polly Puffin, and Polly didn’t have to be coaxed twice. “Why, yes, if you please, Mrs. Razor-Bill,’ said Polly Puffin ‘They are so nice and fresh and every- thing! Say, Mrs, Razor-Bill, don't you keep your eggs pretty close to the edge of this rock! If a good puff of wind came along they would roll right off and get smashed. Then you wouldyyt have any children.’ “Oh, they are all right,’ said Mrs. Razor-Bill carelessly. ‘Do have a scallop!’ “So Polly had a scallop and Mrs, Kittiwake had a scallop and they all had scallops.” “Then. what happened?" asked Nancy and Nick eagerly. Peter Penguin looked at them wisely out of his funny little eyes. “I'm coming to that,” he remarked. Then he went on: “Well, while they were eating, a little breeze sprang up. At first no one noticed it much, but by and by it blew so hard that it blew a shrimp right out of the shrimp dish. “‘My goodness!” cried Mrs. Kitti- wake. ‘It's going to storm. Are you sure those eggs of yours are perfectly safe, Mrs. Razor-Bill ?” “ ‘Perfectly,’ said Mrs : Razor-Bill calmly, “Have another prawn, They are quite fresh.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Si Tis SA HECK OF A > Np Sp, TO BEATRICE SUMMERS, CONTINUED I sometimes wonder, Bee, if any- one ever realtzes just what it is all about—this life of ours. I am almost sure that most of us dream and when we think most that we are shaping our own destiny we are ‘being piloted by an unseen Fate |toward something that we least de- sire. I am quite sure that Sydney Carl ton, if he could help it, would not be in love with the wife of his best friend. He is too decent a man to go ahead knowingly with anything of that kind. Indeed, I am not sure that he has ever acknowledged to himself that he is in love with her. Yet that night at that party his face was an open book and no woman, if she vgs at all interested, could be in the same room with Sydney Car- ton and Leslie Prescott without knowing his secret. This is, with the exception of Les- She is perfectly unconscious and believe that Mr. Prescott knows his best friend is in love with his wife. Strange isn’t it that the two most interested parties in a gossip, a se- cret or a scandal are the last to recognize the fact that they arc the crux of it? For the one moment when Sydney Carton saw Leslie in the arms of an- other man eagerly looking up into his face as she was doing, he uncon- sciously bared his heart to me as I Summer School — N \ SEQ ie E .' +y QIN (> -: The Tangle :-: LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON watched him, His soul was stark and naked, and, contorted with its pain, it not’ a pleasant sight. On John Prescott’s face there was another story blazoned, For the first time in his life he had an inking that there might be a time and a person that he could not manipulate to suit himself, His surprise at the knowledge was almost ludicrous, One saw that whatever John Alden Prescott might have thought of his wife he had never by uny possibility thought that she might have the slightest interest in any man but himself. His face was frozen into lines of. consternation, as well as hate of the man with whom Leslie was dancing. Leslie herself was ignorant of all the passions that were welling up in the brains of the three men. She was ignorant of how the man with whom she was dancing felt about her. To her he was only her partner in the dance. She was feeling for the first time in her life, I believe, that great physical thrill that comes when dancing with someone who makes the dance the utmost poetical rhythm. In fact, she told me after- ‘wards that she never had known before a person could be so happy without conscious knowledge of thought. “I only knew that my body was | swaying with the motions of my feet,” she said. “I lost all sight of anyone else in the room and, strange as it may seem, Sally, I was not ab- solutely conscious even of my part- ner.” (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) “But if you had been there, my dears,” said Peter Penguin, “you wouldn’t have wondered at the ladies being nervous. The eggs were roll- ing this way and that like marbles, almost on the edge of the very rock where they were sitting. And not so much as a leaf to keep them from going right over the edge onte the stones below!” “How did you happen to about it?” asked Doctor Bill. “12 cried Peter Penguin. “Why, to tell the truth. I saw it all for my- s I was sitting on a high rock right beside them and saw and heard the whole affair. It happened exact- ly as I tell you.” “Did the eggs go Ni hear over?” said Peter smiling. “They kept rolling around every time the wind blew until Polly Puffin and Mrs. Kittiwake got so nervous they could not ekt another bite. “But every time they said a word, Mrs. Razor-Bill just said the eggs were all right and offered them an- other limpet or scallop and went it didn't matter if a dozen hatchings got smashed “Finally Polly Puffin could stand it no longer. ‘I can’t stay another minute, Mrs. Razor-Bill,’ she screamed. ‘I think you are a heart- less mother!’ “‘Look here, ladies,’ said Mrs. , Razér-Bill. ‘There is nothing to get excited about. My eggs are safe. They can't roll off. They are shap- ed like tops and roll around in cir- cles. They are perfectly safe.’ “It was true,” laughed Peter Pen “I knew it all the time. Just v to roll a top off a table und see ; what happens.” (To Be Continued). Ai (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) ee | A THOUGHT ! das Thine own mouth condemnth thee, and not I.

Rowell How did Britain manage to go on the gold standard, when most of the gold to do it with was not in Britain, but in | America? ‘ ; ia Al The answer is simple enough. It is a matter, not of ‘metal, but of goods and credit. Any nation can go on the gold standard if it has a balanced budget, a favorable bal- ance of trade, and the confidence of its people and of the The goods and the credit tional affairs. it out of Germany in excess of Ger- many’s export balance of goods with- out destroying its value by the very process of export. ; In other words, the debt had to be paid in goods, or it could not be transferred into money. France knows this, now, as to Germany Most Americans do not know it yet, as to France. They im- agine that if France would save the money on its army, it could therefore pay it to us, It could, in French money, to be spent in France, for French goods. One of the most annoying of small accidents is to have a silver of wood stuck into the flesh of the hand Moreover the wound becomes very painful if the sliver is not removed. Sometimes it is possible to remove the sliver with @ needle or other sharp instrument, But .when the sliver is of soft wood this is very difficult. : Steam may, however, be employed without inconvenience or pain, and is very effective.

In all these things, the world needs to learn to think in terms of goods, rather than of money. Economists have al-, ways done this, but the people, because they measured their own transactions in money, tended to do the same with na- Now that democracy has taken control of international relations, the sovereign people need to learn what the special- ists in these things always knew. Consider, for instance, the war debts, on which, at last, no decisions can be carried out which the people disapprove. The French finally had to learn, by disillusioning experience, that the German debt would not be paid in money. Even’ if the money were collected from German taxpayers and delivered to the Allies’ agent in Berlin, he could not send But to transform this into the only thing we want—that is, American money, to be spent in America— France would have to export an equal amount of goods, in excess,of its imports, and sell these goods, di- rectly or indirectly, for the Ameri- can money paid. If we will not take the goods, we cannot get the money. All this is the alphabet of eco- nomics. The only thing new about it is the new situation, which makes it now necessary for everybody to know it. A wide-mounthed bottle, such as a milk bottle, should be filed nearly full of water as hot ng the glass will stand. Then the injured part should be placed over the mouth of the bottle, and pressed down slightly to prevent any steam from escaping. This will cause the flesh to be drawn down, and in a minute or sv the steam will extract the splinter, and at the same time it will relieve the inflammation.
