E | spaper) | (Official City, State and County New: DELAYING AN IMPROVEMENT Horseplay regarding the paving of the penitentiary road ' will probably deteat that much needed improvement. The usual bitulithic threat, “our pavement or none,” may pre-| vail if three county commissioners can be held in line. The plan to use concrete is agreeable to the Highway | Commission, to the two railroads, apparently to two county : commissioners and to the Federal Bureau of Roads. De- | spite this unanimity one lone county commissioner threater to hold up the whole project unless a certain type of pave ment is used. This paper holds no brief for any special pavement, bu‘?! in line with a majority of taxpay wants to see the im- | provement made this year. In view of the fact that the Federal Bureau of Roads, the Highway Commission and the engineers of the two railroads involved have selected con- ! crete because of the saving should be binding and conclusive. It is necessary to have the county join the project for ; that entails the agreement to pay some $20,000. In view of the fact that Bismarck citizens pay a great percentage of the taxes in the county, the county board should speed up . rather than retard the improvement. : After all differences were thought to be ironed out, Com- ; missioner Swanson is reported to favor bitulithic as against any other form of pavement despite the recommendations ¢ the various engineers and the wishes of the taxpayers to | save some $75,000 on the job. ( If current reports are to be believed, there will be no{ paving this year unless along the cooperative plan approved Monday by Commissioner Swanson who now reverses him- self. His explanation probably will be forthcoming. It is to be hoped he will have another change of heart by next Monday so that the work can be done without more delay. The Burleigh county board should not oppose the plan of state and federal officials which will save the taxpayers | of Burleigh county some $75,000. Further tactics to delay the paving job will merely kill it for sometime to come. his seems.to be the plan of some few who cannot dictate the style of pavement to be used. FREIGHT BY AIR Recently the Bismarck Tribune was in receipt of a letter from the Duplex Printing Press company of Battle Creek, Mich., that it would initiate an emergency “air service’? on 3 machinery parts for its customers. It asked for a map show- ing landing fields in this section of the country and advised the Tribune management that it. was ready to rush machine parts by airplane in case of emergencies. A few hours will bring to Bismarck any essential part of a'press whick threatens to tie-up production. : Just another development of transportation. The other day, the New York Times announced the for- mation of a ten million dollar corporation known as _ the “National Air Transport, Inc.,” with suc capitalists | as Edsell Ford, Marshall Field and William Wrigley, Jr., as > incorporators. This company will transport freight and express but no passengers. Ford has been in this line of business in a small way between his Dearborn plant and Chicago. It is planned gradually to expand the service mostly for the facilitation of the movement of mail between the various large branches | of the company. This service by air tends to speed up pro- duction and give service a few jumps ahead of competition and business nowadays is largely the selling of service. That day is not far distant when Chicago probably will be the hub of the air mail and freight service. Planes will carry merchandise to the great centers of distribution. Plans contemplate a night flight over a lighted airway between New York and Chicago. Radio, that great invisible trumpet of the air, will contro! the planes. THAT GREATEST OF BOOKS Recently in Bismarck, adherents of many creeds gathered together attracted by one magnet: The Bible, the greatest book of all literature. Putting aside dogma and formalism, hundreds came to this city to spend a few hours a day in searching out the great riches of the book which despite narrow denomination- alism holds the interest of the believer and unbeliever alike. Why: the Bible continues to be the best seller is not hard - to explain. No drama surpasses that of the book of Job. Out of the lines of that superb contribution to literature, has been inspired many of the dramas of today. The King James version has produced in beautiful English the stirring \ story. of a man’s undying faith in his God. i Some of the greatest reporting done long before news- papers as we know them were dreamed of is in the New -4 fTestament. Schools of journalism are using the narrative 4of the life of Christ as told in the various books of the New iTestament as examples of brevity, force and vigor in the twritten word. The parables, the Sermon on the Mount, and many other jgems packed between the covers of the old family Bible, dog-eared and soiled, should be studied by those who seek write or speak well. to . . i If is no wonder that a great Sunday School organization tean be held together by the vigor of a great book, teeming ‘ with. human interest, full of consolatory passages and hope lof a:hereafter. ‘ 4 _ A Seattle pbllenttiraplst leased f jail.

Nobody had anything to say to this! they used all their influence to ruin the man who had treated his wife so badly. ¢ couple were reduced to the greatest distress, and Zoe at last told Raphael that she going to live ith him no longer. She told him that she never had loved him, but had decided after her brother died to go into some family of wealth and influence and make some connection either, legitimate or illegitimate which would insure her a home. She found, however, that she had made a mistake and she was going to try again. “Raphael,” said the girl who®.was telling me the story, “seemed to wake up to what had happened. He saw that he had given up his wife— his child--his home—his position and his reputation for the sake of a girl who cared nothing for him—a girl who had done this terrible thing merely for the sake of keeping her- self in comfort without working. “I think my brother-in-law at this was heart-broken. He came back to my sister and on his knees asked her forgiveness for what he had done, but of course she would have nothing to do with him. “After a terrible scene, he finally said that he did‘not blame my sister in the least, but it was up to him to see that this girl with the face of an angel and the calculating brain of a devil should never break up any more families. “My sister, in telling me of this, said that her husband seemed to go suddenly mad.” (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) so he went on. “I just came because I thought I would be safe here.” “Ah, ha!” exclaimed Doctor with 4 wise look. “So that’s it. rather thought I smelled a mouse.” “It wasn’t a mouse. It was some- thing else,” chuckled the little bird. “I stole something. else. “Is Mister Magpie here?” asked a timid little voice just then. “My goodness, is that you, Mag- gie?” exclaimed Mister Magpie cross- t you follow me every place “That is exactly right,” remarked) Doctor Bill gravely, “Your husband should mend his ways. What has he been stealing now?” Mrs. Magpie locked timidly at her! husband. “Go on and tell, I lon’t care,” croaked Mister Magpie impudently. “He stole—he stole—an earring,”} said Mrs. Magpie timidly, Doctor Bill laughed, Everybody looked surprised, even Mister and Mrs, Magpie themselves. “Don’t you think that is a terrible thing to do?” asked the little lady bird. “We are pet magpies and our mistress is so kind to us! My hus- band sits on her window-sill until she goes out of her room and then he hops on her dressing table and steals things. ‘The other day he stole a ring and took it to our nest. Now it's a pearl earring. No wonder he ran away. Don’t you think that is wicked? “It is bad enough, but not as bad as I thought,” said Doctor Bill. “Some magpies steal other birds’ eggs and eat them. They even steal baby birds out of their nests. An [earring doesn't¢matter so much, but it is Wicked to steal anything.” “Come on-home then,” Mrs, Mag- pie said to her husband. “I can’t,” said he. “I forgot where T put the earring.” “You took it to the kitchen and | dropped it into the bread dough. Cook found it,”;said Mrs. Magpie. “That’s what I came to tell you.” “Good!” cried the thief. “Then I'm sorry I scolded you ‘for follow- ing me. Good-bye, folks,” and he was off. And, mind you, he never as much as said “thank you” to his wife. (To Be Continued) A goveriekt, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

How new are we! The oldest inhabitant of Chicago died the other day. He had been a resident since 1862, and had seen the city grow from less than a village. To have done that even in to be 300 years old. In Berlii sand, and in Paris or London would be a good part of another thousand, and in Peking, beyond tra- dition. ; The lifetime of one man covers, in America’s most char&cteristic metro- polis, what elsewhere would have spanned the ages. Law Defiance Worse Evil Than Saloon “Instead of closing the saloon,” said Representative Hill of Maryland to the anti-prohibition association, the good women of America have “caused the saloon to move from the street corner to the alley.” Hearers with memories a few months long must have recalled that, on one, notable occasion, the saloon moved, not “to the alley,” but to Representative Hill’s own cellar, where he gave a well-advertised party, and invited the world to know that one American lawmaker was defying American law. There are worse evils than the saloon, either public or clandestine. One of them is this sort of law de- fiance. Don't Risk When It Is Hard to Understand A fraud order has peen issued against the makers of a “gold loca- tor,” a machine to detect gold and silver mines under ground. A simi- lar order ought to be issued, if not FABLES O New York, a man would have in he would have to be a thou- , 2000 years old. In Rome, it by authority, then by public senti- ment, against all similar “detectors” of oil and water. 3 The forked witch hazel stick, to find water, is one of the oldest su- perstitions, ,but there are educated, and even “scientific” men who ate duped by it. The gold and oil loca- tors pretend to be new inventions. If any.one offers you one, or tries to get you into a speculation based on one, tell him first to convince the patent office and the professors of physics and of geology in the uni- versity. Whatever they can’t under- stand, you would better not risk. Telling Truth in Politics is at Least : Heroic _ A “genius of finance,” they ‘call Caillaux, merely for the brilliant idea that France tells its people the truth, pay its way, raise its money from taxes, spend only what it col- lects, and pay what debts it can. It would seem scarcely to take “genius” to devise ideas so obvious. And yet, perhaps it does. Certainly, telling the truth, in politics, takes heroism, if not genius. And the clear seeing of the simple way, and the resolution to follow it, are one sort of genius. To know, and convince the people, that there is no hocus-pocus way to meet a plain case, seems to have awaited a genius. IN HEALTH | GOOD BED A GOOD INVESTMENT oe et A good bed is a good investment.

New York, May 27.—The most gen- erous of all New Yorkers are the people of the stage. And that gen- erosity is never so evident as it is at this season of the year when many shows close and thousands of performers are out of work. Those who have saved part of their earnings during the fat months share their roofns, their meals, their clothing and their money with less fortunate or less provident fellows of their craft. Yesterday I met’ a young woman who was much before the public for a few brief days because the Prince of Wales had taken particular notice of her when he was here last sum- mer, She told me that all she had to her name was five dollars earned by posing for a fashion picture. She had left a sick bed to do that job. “Everything I had was spent dur- ing an illness-that kept me abed for three months,” she told me. “Even that would not, have been sufficient. I would have become a public charge it other girls had not helped me out. When I get on my feet again they probably won’t let me repay them a cent. All that I can hope is that some day I mhy do a good turn for someone else in trouble.” All show girls do not come of poor families ‘and 80 are’ not entirely de- pendent on their earnings. 1 know of a show girl ‘who lives in Yonkers whose father is comfortably wealthy, During the sumnier as many,as six or eight girls are her guests for weeks at a time: The show girl usually is a creature of impulse.

Pond, who books’ many of the lecturers, says that their num- ber has dwindled because’ most of them are ‘writers. and have learned 't_they can'earn more by. .w: <. ’ books for America than by lecturing here. He recalis that when the influx of lecturers was at its peak one Chicago paper printed notices of their arri- val under “Calamities of the Day.” When Lord Dunsany read the notice he could hardly bé persuaded to con- tinue his schedule, Perhaps you’ve wondered how men Jearn the stock and bond business. It's very simple. J. Parnell Thomas, a young man who now is a sales manager in Wall Street with 40 men under his direction, started in six years age at $12,650 a week. Then he didn’t ow the difference between a bond and a stock. He was told to enter a skyscraper, begin at the top and call at every office until he reached the ground. By then he had begun to Hearn a bit about the busi- ness. —JAMES W. DEAN. HOW GREAT WE ARE On the bvat train’a visitor from the United.
