A BLESSING OR A CURSE? Science is becoming more and more the greatest factor in civilization. A branch of science that has already per- formed wonders and for which seemingly impossible feats have been predicted is chemistry and chiefly its physiological branch. Daring scientists predict that chemistry will ultimately accomplish all things.’ Knitting their brows over retorts and test tubes, gray-haired seekers after scientific truth are delving into the mysteries of creation and searching for the secret of life. An English state that human beings wil the not distant future. And now comes Dr. Willi in fifty years the d conquered by chemistry and disease will come to pas scientist has gone so far as to Il be credited in laboratories in iam S. Nichols who predicts that eases that now afflict mankind will be the miracle of a world without This prediction might be passed off with a shrug of the shoulders had it not come from an authority such as Dr. Nichols. Yet while the creation of life and the elimination of diseases that make life unbearable are being sought, thou- sands of dollars are being spent on finding the secrets of destroying human life on as large a scale as possible. With the news of the blessings of chemistry comes that of the horrors of the science, the destructive methods that will in time of war destroy an army rays thousand men in an instant. OUR SMALLER TOWNS One of the most notable the rapid improvement of the towns. or a city in the wink of an eye, that can wipe out a hundred conditions of North Dakota is This is propably be- cause the people are more and more beginning to look upon the small town as the most desirable place to live. The electric, gas and telephone services, the water sup- ply and other public utility services are just as cheap in the smaller cities and are on a comparable basis to those of the larger cities. The living co! mditions are more pleasant be- cause of the lack of congestion and the industrial smoke of immense factories. Workmen can live more have a better chance of o cheaply in smaller cities and wning their own homes. ‘The schools, especially where there is consolidation, have great influence, as individual attention is obtainable to a greater degree than where the number of children bring about im- personal relations with the instructors. On the, whole the coming era is that of the smaller city. The immense metropolitan centers have about reached their point of satiation and people are turning from the grime and‘confusion where the myfiads congregate to the free, open, unsullied spots in Nature’s playground. a THE STRENUOUS AGE Speaking at the final session of a convention which at- tracted 500 American and Canadian physicians to London, Lord Dawson, King George’s personal physician, condemned the speed of modern life. One of the big problems of the future, the English peer said, will be to prevent men from overworking with the result that their lives are done when they should be at the height of their creative power. “The leader of commerce dies at the heyday of his achievement,” he said. key at work and at play.” “Men today are at the same high Some one has jocularly remarked that the tired business man goes.to the country on Sunday, plays golf with a vim and then returns to work more tired than ever. The Amer- ican business executive has b een imbued with the “go-getter” spirit to such an extent that even his play hours are work and not play. He goes after everything in a big, energetic way and wants a lot of action in his recreation period or doesn’t wanteit at all.,. The human-body is a machine that needs a respite from the strenuous life once in a while.

A few years ago one used to se in the windows (f certain obscure tobacconists a curious “tribute” to a then ly departed literary glory. The effigy of Henry Jamey on a box of five-centers was inex- pressibly gratifying to Jacobites with a sense of humor.

Men were all like fairies and no matter what they wished, it happened at once. “If a man wished a house built he merely commanded the logs and the | stones and the hammer and the nails to do his bidding, and in no time at all the house was up. “If he wished to go riding, he com- manded his mare to hitch herself up to the cart, and as quickly as Iam telling it, the bridle and reins fell into place upon the mare's back, the whip. settled into its groove, \ the wheels turned around, and the whole outfit was ready to take him on a journey. “If the farmer’s wife wished for a new dress,” went on Mi O’ Mi,“the scissors hopped out to the sheep pen and sheared a ewe of all its fleecy coat—then the wool jumped in turough the window, the spinning wheel began to turn and spun the wool on the distaff into a fine thread. “Then the thread hopped off the} ‘spool into a vat of red dye and was | off to the weavers, where it threaded itself into a shuttle and raced back and forth, in and out, on a big loom until a piece of fine cloth was woven. “after that the cloth walked itself off to a draper’s and laid itself on a table and was cut out by willing sci sors and sewed by crafty thread until ———eee |S LITTLE JOE ‘Teo MANY PEQPLE HAVEN'T JUDGEMENT ENOUGH To USE THEIR OWN, incensed | dit | j tion, having their one grand fling at THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE stood hem a fine dress neck-ruff to wear, | “Life was a simple thing in those days. Everything worked but man. “But man became lazy after a few hundred years of easy living, and spoiled it all. “One day a peasant went out to the forest for some fire-wood. He took u large ax, but all he did was to sit on a log while the ax worked. “When the wood was cut, a piece of twine bound it all together ready for moving. “The peasant started for home, the wood going before him hoppity hop, hop, along the road, moving as fast as ua bundle of wood can move. ““Halt!’ cried the peasant present- ly, ‘I’m not going to walk any more.

Those who knew Viscount Goto, and were familiar with his mental processes, did not need the denial. It was unthinkable that so true a patriot, so genuine an idealist, and so wise a statesman should have gone quite crazy enough to say, or even to think, such nonsense.

In 1924 poultry and egg-value increased to the high point of $1,225,000,000.- Increasing population in this coun- try and the world as a whole is largely responsible for the fast grow- ing demand for poultry products, Mr. Barton says.
