Man needs something to which to turn for relief, for self-satisfaction, for pleasure and play. It is characteristic of hobbies that the greatest | gocd is enjoyed in pursuit and not in accomplish- ment. Mental and physical health may reward the| golfer or the swimmer, the horseback rider or the hiker if he never makes a record or even becomes a runner-up. A voice may not reach opera perfec- tion, a poem never make the Atlantic Monthly, 2 painting never be hung in an art collection—but in} the pursuit of that toward which one yearns is grati- fieationof soul and satisfaction of spirit, so that any j material investment makes immediate returns and is not dependent upon future success. | That Troublesome Debt | Like Banquo’s ghost, the 'French-American war debt will not down. It returns time after time to haunt the officials and the citizenry of the two na- | tions. Now Clemenceau, war-time premier of France, leaps into the limelight of the controversy with an appeal to President Coolidge to modify the terms lof the American proposal and thus precipitates an | jidge stated that he considered the matter closed, as ‘indeed it is, but that will not serve to make the No Comprendo! | A program of pinprick diplomacy is developing be- tween the United States and Mexico, It is not be- ing developed deliberat as frequently has been the case in the old world, when one country wanted to “get the goat” of some rival country, by a process of gradual irritation, without seeming to do any- thing obviously and cpenly aggressive. In this case it simply is developing itself, due to varigus conflicts of interests, racial differences, mis- | understandings and totally dissimilar Political | philosophies, It is none the less unfortunate and dangerous. | As between the United States and Mexico, the_ latter suffers, for one thing, from an inferiority complex. It has to demonstrate that it is not in the! least’ afraid of its big neighbor, because it is, ant | knows it, and knows that everybody knows it. | Mexico also has great resources to exploit, wants’ them.exploited, lacks, the capital to exploit them,, welccmes capital from abroad to do the exploiting, and then is jealous of it—and it is, in reality, greedy.! An American is arrested in Mexico and held “in-! comunicado.” This outrages all Anglo-Saxon ideas,} but it’s the custom in all Latin countries. The same thing happens in Argentina and Brazil and France; and nothing much is thought about it, but in Mexico it’s’ serious matter, because there exists a near! strain in Mexican-American relations. | Politically, President Calles is a radical. The! United §tates is conservative. Calles and Secretary (tered the controversy at this time. {has done a great deal to stir up the ‘French people, | especially ‘of plain fact the internal debts of themselves will strained feeling between the countries any easier. It is hard to determine just why Clemenceau en- | His doing so after the recent parade of wounded rench veterans in protest against the debt terms. Certainly it is inconceivable that France’s plight is due to external debts of any kind. As a matter F swamp France within a short time, without the pres- sure of outside debts, if some new and radical idea of financial reconstruction is not soon in force and the French people settle down to the long, hard pull that will bring them out of the morass of in- solvency, The French people do not know this. They are not told these facts. They go along thinking harsh things about the cruel, money-grabbing America who makes life so hard for them, when it is their own internal affairs that are causing the unbalanced condition of the French finances and the continued depression of the French franc. France has a good man at the helm now in Poin- care and he will be able to accomplish a great deal, but not if Clemenceau and other publicity seekers throw obstacles in his path in the way of stampeded public opinion. | Editorial Comment | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Proving That It Doesn’t Al ways Pay to Advertise SAW Fe titre oxo USA, 1S THe GReMeST COUNTRY IN The WORLD = WE DO EVERYTUNG:., © BeTeg over Hers - fev hie COCK-eYep WORLD wee 'WEALTAY NATION - EVERY BOOY OWNS AN AUTOMOBILE ,- ANP, HOMES - SAY- Some OF OUR, HOUSES CAN MAKE Your LOUSY ' OLD CASTLES LOOK SICK = You", Voor FISH DONT KNOW WHAT ~” UW'S 0. ing ‘twas some interloper, I stuck me head in the door far cnough to :| See "twas Mr. Inman a comin’ down. {| As he had u right to maunder about the house if he chose.

We «lon’t want to be mean to a lady. Indeed, we want to give the ladies every chance in the world torget along. So we have adopted a new rule for the game, boys and girls. Hereafter, in orderyto win agbet from any lady, you have to beat her twice. | Isn’t that fair enough? ust before the recent first primary in Texas, we remember vaguely something about Governor “Ma” F@rguson saying that if Dan Moody should lead her by a single vote she wouldn't dare to show her face ime the second, or consolation primary which Texas uecords its candidates just to make sure. We recall also that Ma said something about if she led Mr. Moody by 25,000 votes, he should be ex- p&cted to erase himself from the second primary, too. sBut Ma hadn’t hada minute to think things over When she made her wager. It seems she had en- tigely overlooked the fact that if she were beaten xas’ million school children would be forever de- ved of: the benefits of education. Her heart went owt to the poor things, so it did, and you couldn't expect Mr. Moody to ask a lady to live up to such | afi agreement. He would have been a mean old on Legree if he had, Now, if Ma had beaten Moody by 100,000 instead Moody beating her by that number, would she! eXpect Mr. Moody to live up to his part of the wager} agd resign? Of course she wouldn’t. Now you just ask her. Why, she wouldn't take advantage of a flow like that! So, After this, remember, everybody, we're play- ifg under the new rules. Heyle doesn’t go any more, dears. We shall play game strictly according to the Ferguson amend- Tent. You have to beat a lady twice now in order t& win-a bet. & bye Safe Investment Safe investment concerns a great portion of the Haman race.

Life has be- Marquis of Queensberry or| | (Grand Forks Herald) i The Herald is in receipt of a letter from the manu- ;facturers of a “combine” thresher, commenting on the expression of opinion as to the adaptability of these machines for use in North Dakota as given by several grain men and reported in a recent issue of this paper. The opinion expressed by those quoted was in a general way that the combine was not ;Hkely to be found useful for this territory because of the fact that grain threshed in this manner in a territory where the rainfall is as great as in this ‘state would contain so much moisture that it would be likely to heat. The manufacturers say that in their experience thus far this trouble has not arisen, and that the re- |sults of the use of the combine in Ilinois, Kansas jand Wisconsin have been very satisfactory. Being| manufacturers of the regular threshers as well as of combines, this company is not interested in dis- criminating in favor of either, but is desirous of supplying the machine which will be of the greatest service to the farmers. It is not for anyone not engaged in farming or ithe handling of grain to pass on the merits of har- vesters and threshers, The facts must be ascer- tained by actual experiment, and it may take some j time to determine just what is best. It will doubt- |less be found that no machine made is capable of meeting all emergencies and dealing with all Ppossi- ble conditions. It is apparent to every one, how- ever, that if our grain crop generally can be handled jsafely and economically by machines *which will thresh it as it is cut, the farmer will have been j helped toward the solution of several of his very , trouBlesome problems, i. In the first place the labor problem will have been simplified. Much of the work which is now done j by hand will be done by machinery, and farming will be relieved of much of its drudgery. Skilled labor, competent to handle the machinery required, will be found more satisfactory, even at much higher wages, than much of the transient labor upon which the farmer must now rely in the busy season, Another factor will be the speedy completion of the job of harvesting when once it is started. There will be no long wait for the thresher to appear, and no deterioration of grain in the shock. The land, moreover, will be in condition to plow immediately upcn the cutting of the crop, so that in some sec- tions much valuable time can be gained in this way. | The Way to Happiness (Kansas City Star) A successful man died in New York last week. He had no great reputation. His name was known to only a limited circle. He had no money. He had no spectacular achievement to boast of. Yet his life was a triumph in the things that human experience counts most worth while. ‘ He was Dr. Edwin Zimmerman, who had practiced medicine in the Greenwich village district for nearly a half century. He was the special friend of the Poor. “Forget it; your bill has been paid by God,” he would often say to a poor patient who came with money. On his deathbed he gave what wealth he | had left for scholarships for needy boys. “Believe me, I am happy,” he wrote as the end drew near, This man had found by experience the secret of BEGIN HERE TODAY MRS.

The peculiar thing about Heath's disappearance is that all the windows doors had been locked on the inside the night before and were found that way in the morning. Finger prints of Bunny Moore and Inman were found on the bottle. At the Country Club, the mur- der is discussed by SAM AN- DERSON, Heath's rival for the club presidency; AL CUNNING- HAM, who is trying to solve the crime, and others.
