ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1925 THE BISMAROK TRIBUNE [aaa PRICE FIVE CENTS NAB 500 CHINESE IN RAIDS PROHIBITION FACES CRISIS, | REPORT HOLDS Psychology of Failure Con- fronts Enforcement, Claim WIDE DISSATISFACTION Problem Is Up to Churches and Schools to Foster . ‘ Law Respect Washington, D. C., September 19.— A_ “psychology of failure? in cer- tain sections of the United States confronts prohibition enforcement which indicates a growing reaction against the cighteenth amendment the report of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America states in its concluding chapter to- day. “When we ‘reach that vague and| elusive factor, the opinion of the general public, there is little basis for anything but surmise,” the re- port asserts. “It may be said with a good. deal of assurance that many populous sections of the country would now reverse the verdict if| they had the chance, but there is| much son to believe that most of] the states, taken as whole, would still vote affirmatively.” Situation Uncertain The fact that prohibition is still far from yielding the results that! were hoped for from it does not warrant the widely current assump-| tion that it cannot be enforced, the} report. holds, | “If the new campaign of the fed-! eral government succeeds, the shut-j| ting off of the liquor supply at its main sources may take the profit out of the business, break up the organ- ization and reduce the traffic to controllable quantities. There is danger, however, in the common belief that our failure to! ure through prohibition the so- cial results predicted for it is charg- able to lax law enforcement, it is stated. Seo Hope “If the new campaign of the fed- eral government succeeds, the shut- ting off of the liquor supply at its main sources may take the profit out of the business, break up the organ- ization and reduce the traffic to con- trollable quantities. On the other hand, its suppression may ultimate: | by Str ly depend upon state and municipal agencies, in which case, the immedi- ate future in several states is dark. There are sections of the country in which the traffic is likely to con- tinue until forces of civic organiza- tion and social education succeed in developing a public opinion strong enough to modify the habits of that| portion of the population which has thus far refused to be governed by the law. The fact which must ibe / kept constantly in the foreground is! that a favorable and encouraging! trend which began several years be-, fore 1920 has been reversed since'| that year—temporarily, many be-| lieve. There is no little ground for hope that we are turning the corner,} but there is no basis for assurance. “This situation presents an unpre-| cedented challenge to the schools and the churches. Thus far the delin- quency of the churches is perhaps even greater than that of the, federal government. In former years temper- ance education was stressed as a part of the religious educational program. It was often of a decidedly inferior} type, to be sure, but the importance of temperate living and self-control} was kept continually before our| youth. With the passing of the pro-! hibition laws the task of moral edu- cation with reference to temperate living has been all but ignored.” RAZE FAMOUS LONDON CLUB Haunt of Shaw and Barrie; Will Be Wrecked \ | London, ‘Sept. 19.—Adelphi_Ter- race. now tenanted by Bernard Shaw,| Sir James Barrie, the ghost of David Garrick, and many of the wags and wits who have made the Savage club @ celebrated Bohemian haunt in London, is to be wrecked. * In_ place of the old buildings, which from their perches on the arches designed by the brothets Adam overlook the finest sweep of the curving Thames in all London, there is to rise one of those vast structures that tend more and more to Americanize Europe. j Is The news of the impending change came as a shock to those who love old London.

One man in this country has done it. Sixty years ago G. A. Garver was born in this little Ohio town, It had almost as many people then as it has now. Its official population now is 917. Other cities in Ohio grew rapidly, their populations running up into hundreds of thousands. Booms made some villages into cities almost over night, but such rapid progress passed burg. Many an ambitious young man, left Strasburg. The town was too slow for them. There were no opportunities for “bright young men” in such a cross- roads town, they thought. The Call of the City But Garver stayed wich Strasburg. He saw many of his companions yo to one metropolis and another with the laudable ambition of winning fame and fortune. He knows that a few succeeded, but that many of them failed. Some, disillusioned and disappointed, came back to Strasburg. Garver has proved that there are real opportunities for success in the small town, He never has lived place but Strasburg. Wins Fame Too For nearly four decades he has been the millage storekeeper. Instead of chasing rainbows in a big metro- polis, he filled the job right in front of him so well that today his wealth is estimated at close to a million dollars. And as for fame—Graver is listed by financial rating agencies and oth- er business interests as one of the outstanding successes in the country. The Graver Brothers’ store is known as “The Largest Country Store in the World.” Uusually country and small town folk jump in their autos or catch the interurban train for the big cities to do their shopping. But around Strasburg, the situa- tion is reversed. From cities of from 50,000 to 100,- 000 people come to the little cross- roads town to make purchases at the Garver store. For years prices have been lower there and Garver is not- ed for his courtesy and square deal- in any other ing. ‘The Garver store, although occupy- ing three floors of a large building, has not been “cityfied.” It is still just a big country store, where one may buy almost anything from a spool of thread to a threshing machine. ‘Small Town Chances Garver is certain that many of the millions of young men who have left ——__._________0 iA Weather Report Leen Teen Temperature at 7 a, m. tins HBB!

Garver, who proved that wealth and fame may be attained less than 1,000. TO THE SMALL TOWN YOUTH G. A. Garver, Strasburg, (( business man, who made a mil- lion in a village of less than 1,000 people, has this to say to the small town youth: “Opportunities are just as good in the country and small towns as in the city. “Competition is less keen be- cause so many youths have left the country for a | struggling existence in the city.” the villages and corn fields of Amer- ica for the cities have made a mis- t, he believes the chances ss for un ambitious young man in the small towns are greater than those in the cities. “Opportunities for young people are just as good in the country and small towns as in the cities,” he says. “My opinion is that the chances cess are greater in the vil- of “Competition is less keen because so many youths have left their homes in the country for a struggling ex- istence in the big cities. “If these young people would look just as hard for opportunities _ in their home towns und then work just as hard making good after the oP portunities are found, there would be no cause for worry about the de- population of the rural districts.” Garver also has some advice for the small town merchant. Formula For Prefits is his formula for increasing “Combine your capital and get un- der one roof. “In many small towns one will find a drug store, a hardware store, a dry goods store, a grocery store and a turniture store. “Each of these businesses neces- sarily must buy in small quantities, thereby paying higher prices. “Each has a large overhead ex- pense. “What they should do is to com- bine their capital and have one big store under one roof, with a grocery department, a hardware department, a dry goods department, a drug and sundry department and so on. “Then the company would be strong enough to buy in large quan- tities, getting better prices, better credit and also cutting off a large slice of the overhead expense.” No Private Office In his large store, Garver has no private office. You will find his desk right down on the first floor, just as you come in the door. He believes that every merchant should mingle with his custumers, wait on them at times, congratulate them on their new babies, talk about their crops, and that’s just what this man Garver does. An aristocrat never succeeds in a country town, he thinks. |BANK RESERVES SHOW DEFICIT New York, Sept. 19.—)—The ac- tual condition of clearing house banks and trust companies for the week shows a deficit in reserve of $15,674,630.

By the law p: at the last legislative session the rate was fixed at six per cent. Under the old general law) governing redemption of _ property from tax claims the rate of interest paid often much larger.

The executive has circulated a number of draft resolutions which are remarkable in that they indicate the decided tendency toward a modi fied form of imperialism, which has been for some time evident among labor leaders in parliament. Opposition will be encountered in this, however, and amendments al- ready have been prepared designed to bring the convention back to the old standpoint of labor policy, prom- inent in which are such tenets as na- tionalization and the capital levy.

FORD HAS MADE MONEY AT RATE ; OF $1.25 SECOND} By NEA Service Cleveland—Henry Ford has been making automobiles for 23 years, and today his business and personal wealth is estimated at more than a billion dollars A’ mathematical shark here has figured it out that if Henry would quit work now, convert all his wealth into one dol bills, and start count- ing them it would take him 120 years to do the job by counting at the rate of $1 a second. In other words if Henry had start- ed working for $1 a second, $3600 an hour, it would have taken him 120 years instead of the 23 to have made his money, working cight hours a aay ‘ake out your watch and watch the hand tick off a second, and then think that for every one of these e been ticked off in the 24-hour days last 23 years, approximately $1.25 has been Ford's wealth.

HINDENBURG WINS OVATION All Classes Admire German President Berlin, Sept. 19.—(#)—Presidtnt Von Hindenburg's friends and politi- cal advisers are greatly pleased over | the impression the German chief ex- ecutive made upon the people of Ba- varia during the four weeks’ vaca- ition there recently. The trip was not only in the na- ture of a holiday, but was a politi- cal experiment. to see how the Ger- mans would take to popularizing the president by showing him off in var- ious sections of the country. This first attempt proved a 100 per cent success, for wherever Von Hinden- burg appeared he was the recipient ; of wholehearted ovations. As he left Dietramzell Castle, where most of his vacation was spent, the fire department, students at a convent and hundreds of lusty peasants broke into hurrahs. Sim- ilar scenes were repeated all along the route, including Munich. The Bavarian press emphasizes that President on Hindenburg’s visit did much to cement relations between the second largest German state and the federal government.

Brighton, England, Sept. 19.—(#) —Jabez Wolfe, trainer of Miss Ger- trude Ederle, today denied her alle- gations that she was taken from the water during her recent attempt to swim the English Channel when she was still able to go with her effort. “At the sixth hour of the swim,” he said, “Miss Ederle complained of a cramp and I begged her to carry on a little longer to see if she would recover from it, At the eighth hour she was suffering intense agony, purely owing to the lack of condition. After eight hours and 45 minutes she collapsed. “I gave no instructions for Helmy, (the Eyptian swimmer) to touch her, but from the humane point of view, as there was a risk of her being drowned, Helmy went to her aid. I was standing by in a small boat and immediately got to her and put the Jifesaving apparatus on her, as she was unconscious. Charges Falsehood “Her statements are quite untrue.

She added that Helmy was swimming with her and that she was going strong when Wolfe suddenly shouted, “Grab her.” “Of course,” Miss Ederle said, “as soon as Helmy touched me I was dis- qualified.” Miss Ederle said she did not know whether she would have gotten across the channel, but asserted again that she could have gone farther. She said she felt sure she could acco! plish the feat in another try and under better weather conditions. 206 CHINESE AREHELD FOR DEPORTATION Latest Tong War Outbreak Brings Wholesale New York Arrests TAKE 500 RAIDS All Celestials Without Cre- dentials Will Be Investigated New York, Sept. 19.~(%)—As sult of continued tong murders, Chinese were in the tombs to awaiting deportation.
