(Bs al City, State and County Newspaper) DAY FOR THOUGH The south originated the custom of setting aside one day in the year for decorating the graves of the soldier dead. The first Memorial Day was held in Columbus, Ga., April | 26, 18€ Within a few years the custom had spread throughout the | north and south. A few more years and the last of the Civil War veterans, in whose honor the day was set aside,‘ will | have joined their comrades who sleep beneath the sod. But “Memorial Day will remain. Two generations have passed since the Civil War, and two more great wars have contributed to their soldier dead. Does the next generation hold in store another conflict? Let us hope not; let us pray not. Let us remember that the goal of our fighting men was peace. Memorial Day should inspire us all to work for the end of war. BISMARCK’S GROWTH While complete figures are not available of the Bismarck census, it is anticipated that this city will show a steady and healthy growth. If the housing problem were solved, the increase would be even greater. It is estimated upon the basis of present figures that Bismarck will show a popu- lation between 8,000 to 8,500. School registration will sub- stantiate these figures. Bismarck has the appearance of a city of 10,000 to 12,000 to the visitor. There is a large floating population because this is the Capital City. Many of these persons spend from six to seven months a year here but never get enumerated | in a census. Hundreds of traveling men in and out of Bis- marek look upon this city as home, although only the week end may be spent here at a hotel and thus they do not be- come enumerated as actual residents. If it were possible to get an accurate count, Bismarck’s populatién should pass the 9,000 mark. Everyone who studied the manner in which the 1920 federal census was taken when final figures gave the city a population of 7,122 knows some serious omissions were made. The people of Bismarck should cooperate with the enum- erators to get the very best possible census. It is no easy task in the time given or the money set aside for this pur- pose. Here is a field for the Association of Commerce to see that every man, woman and child who can justly be claimed a resident of Bismarck is counted. Taking the federal census of 7,122 as the basis, the cen- sus so far shows a steady growth. Great increase of popu-}| lation will come as the vacant farm lands of this section become populated necessitating more people in this city to care for the increased business that will follow. This section of the state is just entering into its own and the next decade should see some great strides in the development of the Mis- souri Slope, The Best of the West and Also the Best Of North Dakota. GIVES WRONG IMPRESSIOD There has grown up a custom in Bismarck which can well be discarded. Some graduating class a few years ago celebrated its youthful exuberance in painting the town with white-wash | paint and other materials as an outlet for an excess of joy that school was ended and the freedom of vacation days had arrived. The pace first set has been repeated with more or less fervor from year to year. School authorities have been un- able to end the practice, nor have the police been alert or cared to prevent the boyish pranks which have developed into vandalism. Vigorous steps should be taken to stop the hoodlums whc bespatter business blocks. It has ceased to be a joke. Mer- chants are put to expense and inconvenience each year in cleaning up the mess and the spectacle of the High School building besmeared with paint and whitewash is not a very favorable commentary upon the discipline of the school regime. It is all so boorish and uncalled for that police and school authorities should in the future put an end to these nightly orgies in which destruction of property and flippant insults combine to -give a most unfavorable impression. It is the work of a minority and not that of the rank and file of fine upstanding boys and girls who comprise the student body. The-rowdies should not be allowed to place suspicion upon the whole class. . An end should be put to the practice else the classes are going to find it hard to finance their enterprises or secure the support for athletics and other branches of school activi- ties. Complaint has been made at times that some Of the athletic attractions were not as enthusiastically supported as in former years. Probably the white wash brush and vandalism comprise the answer. . If the hoodlums who seize upon graduation for a night of destruction are not stopped in the future by drastic meas- ures, civic support of the various features of school life will lack the zest of the past. Bismarck has passed the village stage and the “hicks” who run through the streets with paint and brush if they cannot be shamed into obeying the’law must be. forced to respect the property rights of the citizens of Bismarck. police department cannot “alibi” out of it forever. It should be on the watch to prevent a recurrence of Thurs- day night’s spectacle as the school authorities have admitted thap fhe situation is beyond their control.

Jack, being the curious member of our family, tried to find out when and left. Zoe, however, at least he tells me refused to give him any information whatever on the subject. Jack says that at the party she was very nervous and asked him several times if we were, surely going to leave on the morning train, As you know we all did this. Zoe was very strange on the train over here to Pittsburg, and seemed to be afraid to be alone. When we arrived and I showed her her room and the new nursery, instead of saying anything about the convenience: d beauty of the furniture and decorations, she threw herself at my feet, saying, “Oh, Mrs; Prescott, if you only knew how much I love you and little Jack. You do not know what it means for me to be here with you. You will keep me with you, won't you. It seems to me] now that if I could spend my entire life with you, it would be all I could ask.” I thought it rather strange, Ruth, as you know how self-contained Zoe has always seemed, but J took it that she had worked very hard and was nervous and overwrought. I reas- sured here of my appreciation of her love and bade her good night, as she seemed much calmer.

When this man had found out that she had betrayed him and saw that he had given up wife and child and home—everything he had in the world—for someone who cared noth- ing for him, it seems he went nearly insane and swore to kill her.

Nancy threw open the door and looked out. “Yes, it is,” she called. “Who is it and where are you from?” A dark little bird, not, as black as a crow nor so big, flew down from a tree and limped over. “It’s me and I came from home,” he croaked hoarsely Nancy laughed. “Now I know all about you,” she said kindly, “Come on in and see Doctor Bill, You seem to be hurt.” She picked him up on her finger and carried him inside. “Hello, here!” cried Doctor Bill when he saw the visitor. “If it isn’t Johnny Jackdaw. What has hap- pened to you, Johnny? Been stealing again? You are as bad as your cou- sin Mike Magpie!. What whs it this time? A diamond necklace?” “If you'll just fix my toenail firgt,* said Johnny Jackdaw, “I'll tell you all about it.” And he stuck out his foot which the little doctor man examined carefully. “Why the nail is gone!” he ex- claimed. “How did that happen?” The little bird shivered, “I ‘can’t bear to think of it,” he said. “It was awful. But I learned a good lesson and I'll never steal anything again as long as I live.” “Aha! I thought so,” said Doctor Bill, “But there! I must fix up your poor sore foot, and you can tell me about it afterwards, Stealing is bad business, sir.” Nancy held the bandages and Nick held the. salve, while the bird doctor fixed Johnny Jackdaw’s sore foot. Johnny said “Ouch!” about six times, but by and by it was over, and he said it felt’ as good as new, his foot did, and he would 1: care- ful.and keep the bandage clean and with some of my friends in an old tree in the woods, when suddenly I looked down on the ground and saw something shining. “Just a certain way I looked at it, it would shine.

Chester H. Rowell When the automobile “gear shift” was invented, every- body regarded it as a temporary makeshift, to be discarded jas soon as somebody devised something better. Instead, it has remained’ one’ of the few permanencies in motor transport. { Now comes Walter Brown of Ohio, who is not accustomed { to speaking carelessly, and claims that a newly devised direct electric drive is a practical success. On a vast scale, to drive jgreat batfleships, the electric drive has demonstrated its con- venience and efficiency. If it should turn out to be feasible on an automobile scale, it would be one of the few funda- mental improvements in the motor car. . SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1925. ; don’t discard your old car yet, quate to the job. You know cally sounds steady, sober, atten- tive, honest and respongible. Oth- erwise, he would not have the job, But the highways are full of yri- vate motorists who. have not these qualifications. Some of them can not see or hear signals; many are | stupid, nervous, flighty or _ irre- sponsible; some of them are insane, or liable to drop dead with apolexy or heart disease; many of them drink, some of them take drugs, and a lot of them do not care. Not one of these could get a job as street car motorman still less as driver for a responsible cab com- pany. But, because they have the price of a car, we license them to navigate the highw: ~—where they kill more Americans every year than the Germans killed during the World War. “CRASHLESS” AIRPLANE LATEST INVENTION One more invention, to get us about faster and safer, is the “crash- less” airplane. When it starts to spin down, motor stopped and con- t helpless, it automatically flat- tens out its course, and lands, per- haps not gently, but less than fatal- ly. By the time airplanes are as common 28 automobileg, we shall probably be safer in the air-than on the ground YOU CAN'T PADLOCK ALL DOORS QF KNOWLEDGE Mr, Bryan will make: the Tennes- see anti-evolution trial important, by lending his name and services. Whatever Bryan does is news, So the obscure Tennessee teacher, who dared let his pupils use a book al- ready approved by the state board of education, will acquite a vicarious It would leave “nothing to watch but the road.” But nor hesitate to buy a new one. These things do not happen in a moment. Even “the road” is enough to watch.

Tests for street car motormen are less exacting, but ade- that your motorman Js phys tists in the United States, says Bryan, half of them atheists, They shall not run the schools. Of course, there are not 2500, and probably not 100 “atheists” among American scientist: But there ig not one scientist—not one-—-who regards the first chapter of G esis as a text-book of science. Neither did Moses. Mr. Bryan and his associates may or may: not succeed in keeping scien- tifie teaching out of the schools of Tennessee. Even if they do, they will not therefore have protected the youth of Tennessee from the corrup- tion of knowledge, The libraries are still open. The newspapers and magazines still circulate. The ency- clopedia is not yet on the Index. The mountains of Tennessee still contain strata and fossils; will still be those who, reading the records written on: ene living rock by the finger of God, will not deem God a liar. You may padlock one door to knowledge. The others will remain open. SLEEP AS FATAL AS DEATH, SOMETIMES Mr. Bryan further proclaims the Demorratic party “not dead, but sleeping.” One is nearly as fatal as the other, when it comes to los- ing battles. Napoleon lost Waterloo for lack of a night’s sleep. Hughes lost Cali- fornia, and thereby the presidency, and probably changed the history of the world, by not being awake one |day to a situation which he vividly realized the next. The Democratic party, by Bryan’s acknowledgement, at least needs to wake up, And then, awake, it needs to decide which way to go—and go A ripe, juicy apple will digest in the stomach in 85 minutes. Thus it is no wonder that apples are recommended for health, Apples contain a larger, percentage of phosphorus than any other com- mon fruit, and phosphoras is ad- mirably adapted for renewing the es- sential nervous matter of the brain and spinal card. Apple acids are excellent for slug- gish livers. For this reason they are recommended for clear complexions. Sluggish livers permit the body to become filled with noxious matters, which, if retained, make the brain that even,walking seems a hard task for him. |, Chinese have taken over the old Thalia Theater on the Bowery as 'their own, Almost every national- ity of the Caucasian race has been represented in the management of the theatre in the past.

He was dressed in the best of ‘elothes, but he held forth a dime to the waiter in a cheap “coffee pot” and said, “This is all I got for breakfast.
