Those who have not been counted should communicate with the city assessor tor auditor and give him the ne ary data. It will take .only a few minutes in the individual case, but in the aggre- gate the result will mean much to Bismarck. 5 Impression of the city is formed largely by its population. *School census, telephone accounts as well ag accounts of the various public utilities point to a higher census than has been disclosed by past census enumeratior No_ pains tshould be spared to get the most accurate count possible. It is a work that calls for the best s t of cooperation. If you have not been seen by the census enumerator call the City Hall or Association of Commerce and notify the = ‘proper officials. BE SURE AND GET COUNTED! PRICE OF CARELESSNESS No one can estimate the cost of carelessness in mone- tary terms. The postoffice department, however, has duced to dollars and cents the tribute carelessness in addre: ing mail levies on the taxpayers of the nation. More. than twenty million missives annually find their way to the dead letter postoffice because of poor and insufficient addre The cost to the postoffice department is estimated at $1,- 740,000, while the loss to busin through failure to receive important mail cannot be reduced to dollars and cents. “In addition to the mail that ultimately goes to the dead letter office, a large staff of postal employes are kept busy correcting and supplying deficient addres More than 200,000,000 pieces of mail yearly are given what is termed in postoffice parlance “directory service.” This means sup- plying the correct address by reference to directories. In New York city alone, the cost of this service is $500 a day. The postoffice department is engaged in a vigorous cam- paign to cut down this waste. Patrons are urged to use more care in addressing their mail and thus assist in pro- moting the efficiency of the postal service as well as decreas- ing its cost. GETTING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER Plans for the county community day at Fort Lincoln under the auspices of the Association of Commerce are maturing. This will afford a fine opportunity for the busi- ness men to meet the farmers and promote a better com- munity spirit. The merchants and other business men of Bismarck have cooperated in making the Burleigh County Cow Testing Association a success. It is only natural that the citizens should meet the members of the association as well as other farmers who may be encouraged to place their herds under the same kind of scientific and profitable super- vision. It is to be hoped the many farmers and business men will join in this gala get-acquainted day. As both under- stand the other fellow’s problems a little better will there be greater team work. The business man can learn from the farmer and the merchant, from his store of experience, can assist the man on the farm. He wants to help, not dic- tate. The spirit of goodfellowship will prevail that day and puch get-together events should be annual affai in the uture. COOLIDGE CAN’T BE “JUST FOLKS” The ambition of President Coolidge to be “just folks” is doomed to disappointment. The railroads will not have him on their regular trains, and insist on his traveling “special.” The problem of get- ting a regular train through safely and on time, with the president aboard, is almost beyond their resources. & It would be cheaper to give him a special train for noth é ing, if the law permitted. And the president himself finds =. that he can get the ordinary rights of ordinary men only by = extraordinary methods. John Smith gets his rights by buying a ticket and getting aboard. But if Calvin Coolidge were to try the same thing, he would be the center of a mob the whole way. ‘ The only way for him to get John Smith’s rights is to have more than John Smith’s protection. It is easier and cheaper to give him) those rights on a special train than on a regular train. ECONOMY ; The economy fad, introduced at Washington by President Coolidge, is spreading to state and municipal governments. All of which, of course, is something to be thankful for. ; But before we praise too loudly, let’s be sure that it’s real * ‘economy, and not merely parsimony, in all cases. 7 Real economy consists in getting 100 cents’ worth or re- & sults out of every dollar spent. Where this is done, give H thanks. : But in many cases officials are simply spending less than { they used to, without much regard for what they get. Often ! they simply defer needed expenditures so that when they finally have to be made they will be larger than they should be. : Economy like that isn’t economy at all.

This contribution, together with those from: commercial bodies of other cities, will carry the expense of the inspection trip of Washing- ton officials and other distinguished guests of this and surrounding states’ next week, and meet other very necessary expenses for the time being. In this connection it is prop- er to mention the fact that the North Dakota Automobile associa- tion also contributed $200 toward the park trip as an evidence of part of the good work it hopes to accom- plish for the state as a whole. , W.

I answ ‘I thought they had finished,” Jack remarked. “They have, but it seems that having read in the paper about the burglary, they sent a man up to find if the brocade in here had been in- jured in any way. He was coming in to see, but hearing you two, he said he would call ugain. Nice of them to send him up, wasn’t i Very,” said Bill Laidlaw d as he went to the phone in the hall. He called up Roth and Chapman’s studio and asked if they had sent a man to see if our walls had been de- faced in any way. He found out, Ruth, that they knew nothing about it, they had sent no one, and for that matter they knew that.if any thing had been hurt, I would call them immendiately. Just as Bill was going to hang up the receiver, evidently the man at the other end said “Wait a minute. The Commissioner told us after- wards that Mr. Roth, with whom he was talking, had told him that that morning a man had come in saying that he was a friend of Jack's and that he had seen the brocade panels in the library and he was anxious to see if they had any more of the ma- terial, as he would like it in, his library. He had insisted upon 'buy- ing a small sample that his wife, who was an invalid, might see it. “Something's gone wrong,” Bill said as he hung up the receiver. “That caller you just had was sent here on some mission, either to find out what you think ‘of the matter and what you are planning to do, or else—” He stopped and he wouldn't go any further, Ruth. “Go on, go on,” gaid Jack impa- tiently. old chap, I'm not going to 1 do anything ‘of the kin don't want you to know anything about my theory in tgis matter.

Rowell Death follows shockingly soon after the culmination of many American careers. Nearly the whole intimate circle of both Wilson and the Harding administrations is now gone, almgst before we had realized that the administrations were history. ; View President Marshall is the last. And he was a man who, in spite of his modest self-deprecation, will be missed. A peculiarly modest man, he made no pretense of great- ness, had no delusions of grandeur, but kept his head, his loyalty and his democracy in high place, and fitted into a difficult situation with singular tactfulness. — Marshall was a characteristically paradoxical product of Indiana. ; This superficially prosaic state has had a peculiar fecundity in producing poets. Marshall was not exacty that, out homely and quotable sayings. but he was an epigrammatist, with the faculty of turning | fi * sfure willing: to act ax hostesses for so genially that nobody held i Knowledge Still Will Be Available One more thing the decisiog of the supreme court in the Oregon school case will protect us Against. If the Tennessee mania spreads, to forbid in public schools and col- leges the teaching of anything that Bryan does not know, these states will at least not have authority to compel everybody to attend these Bryanized institutions. Modern knowledge may still be taught at private expense, even if prohibited at public cost. |The Real Problem For the “Wets” Senator William H, King of Utah, chief of the “wet: the original fight against the Eighteenth Amend- ment, and still a pronounced oppo- nent of prohibition, gives to his fel- low-wets the same warning repeat- edly expressed in these columns, that legally most of the things they are agitating for are- permanently impossible. The amendment, he points out, can not be changed except by a vote which everybody knows is impossi- ble, and while the amendment stands, no alteration of the Volstead Foreign substances. often find lodgment in the eyes, Mrs. Jones learned. The eye is one of the most deli- -] cate organs of the body, and though it is protected by eyelashes and eye lids and is placed under the protec- tion of the bones of the head, many cases of blindness are caused from purely accidental “occurrences, When there is a foreign substance in the eye, do not rub. First try raising the lid by taking hold of the lashes, and let the tears wash the particle out. - FABLES ON HEALTH KEEP THE EYES CLEAN Even when he sometimes said the wrong thing, he did iv it against him. He gave and received kindness, and was much more of a figure of a man than his own modest estimate of himself. Act to permit anything actually in- toxicating is constitutional. So Senator King advises the wets * to concentrate on “2.75 per cent beer and wine,” which he thinks would pass the courts, and to work for this, not as an entering wedge toward something more, but as the final goal. This, remember, is the advice, not of a “dry,” but of the very chief of ° the “wets.” One is tempted to ask, first, why. the “and wine”? There is no such thing as 2.76 per cent wine. The “and wine,” in that phrase, ‘means exactly as much “and main” in “might and m or “stock” in “stock and stone.’ “Beer and wine” means “beer.” But, anyhow, it is well to get the legal point clarified, on authority that the wets will accept. Then the practical question remains. How many chemists would it take to see that the “2.75 beer” was real- ly 2.75% And wherein would the places where that beer was sold differ from saloons? a If the legal fog is cleared out of the way, this is what is left. Rubbing thé other eye sometimes is effective. If the substance is adhered to the lid, turn the lid back by rolling it over a pencil or the finger 4nd then remove the particle with a soft silk handkerchief. For particles of dust or cinders in the eye try flaxseed, \if other at- tempts fail. Two or three grains should be placed in the corner of the eye. The seeds soon swell and exude a glutinous substance that covers the ball ofthe eye; and. envelops any foreign substance that. may be. in it. New York, June 12—The “butter and egg” fuan who comes out of the west to spend his, money in night clubs and make New York sit up and tuke notice is generally a creacure of fiction in’ books and. films, but the other night’in, a cellar resort I saw one of the: type.in the flesh. He was about %5, bald and fat and wore a high stand-up collar and square-toed vici kid shoes. He sat alone at a table and applauded en- thusiastically: all-'the dances by the cabaret performers. After the show ‘| was over and danciyg resumed I saw four of the girl performers at his table. He bought them sandwiches at $1.50 each and drinks at a dollar each. His chéck was for $112, in- cluding cover charge for ‘the four girls employed by the management and four gentlemen friends who had joined the party. The old fellow actually beamed as he paid the check and the girls left him to dance with their gentlemen friends, These night cabarets in basements are about the most. uncomfortable spots to be found these hot nights,| but they continue to be crowded to capacity. I suppose many attend them to be able to say they have been to a night club. Certain.y there is no great pleasure to be found in them now. f ‘The proprietor-of one night club will not permit anyone not in eve- ning clothes to enter his place. He is always most formally _ dressed, Yet several years.ago he ran one of the lowest dives in town and would not permit anyone in formal dress to come into his place because he didn’t want any high-hat slummers disturbing his. regular. trade, Most of the night-clitbs have host- esses who are pels $25 a week and @ percentage of the men they entertain. Many of these are being replaced by flappets who receive no salary. ‘Some of them are paid commissions, but most of them consider their work a lark and the fun of it. wis sehecks paid ‘a LESS STOCK LOSSES MAY LOWER RATES By NEA Service Columbus, 0., June 12.—Produc- ers, feeders and shippers in Ohio have organized the Livestock Loss Prevention Association to save some of the millions lost on livestock in transit. By this saving they expect to re- duce the freight rates on livestock, and thus bring more profit,to them- selves. In 1923 the loss transit amounted-to $2,776,344 in Ohio alone....These losses have neen rising steadily, railroad claim agents say. The payments of railroad com- panies for livestock losses are con- sidered in fixing freight rates and charges. 9 Yet at least 60 per cent of all live- stock losses in transit are prevent- able, say officials of the new or- ganization. More than a fourth of the losses in 1923 were traced to the responsibility of the praducers, feed- ers and shippers. These were at- tributed to preventable diseases, con- gestion of the lungs, improper ‘feed- ing and care, use of prod poles, and insufficient exercise during heavy feeding. Losses under control of the rail- roads were attributed to defective equipment, rough handfing, wrecks, fire and loss on water.

Accordingly he stationed himself at the door, as they returned from. dinner, and mentioned all those he believed to be married.
