Brant was one of the chief wi nesses for iam Mitchell last year in his court-mi Fi ington, Major Brant was _one of two air officers then attached to the general staff. Mitchell, it will be r Major ¢ orders from “swivel chair aeronau' service was being inefficiently Brant took the stand and in many of his charges. He said a lack of unified command greatly hampered the joint army and “navy maneuvers in Hawaii, and brought dissensions which would have been dangerous in time of war. Asked to place the blame for the lack of harmony, he said: “The present economy program: and the system under which it works.” Colonel Mitchell left the air service rather than submit to the sentence of the court-martial. But Major Brant, who supported charges, has just been promoted to chief executive officer for Trubee Davidsen, assistant secretary of war, in charge of aviation. Major Brant is a gay, gallant, lovable fellow, to ;use the words of Major Allen W. Gullion, who spoke “for the government at the Mitchell court-martial. “IT have known him for twenty-five years and I like him. I know he would rather lose his right = arm before he would tel, a lie,” Major Gullion said “at that time. Brant stood with Mitchell. Evidently it hasn't “cost him anything. Brant undoubtedly deserves = the promotion, in the opinion of all who know him. His advancement is a tribute to the fairness of the % American air service. = Jazz For the Farms Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas in a recent Ssneech declared that the only way to keep young ~ men on the farms is to make farming pay. To make = farming pay, youth must be trained in scientific agriculture, © There is another side of the question, too, that = cannot be overlooked—the eternal isulation of the = farm and the loneliness a young person must suf- fer there. Young women and young men leave the = farms seeking the companionship the city offers. _ Along this line a very interesting experiment w © tried out this fall at the southeast Missouri dis' fair at Sikeston, Mo. Jazz, style show and dan * supplanted the usual displays of farm products * livestock and poultry. All the old standby exhibits * were eliminated. The swine building was converted into a big dance floor and a snappy orchestra hired. The erst- = while poultry building housed radiv exhibits. In the former agricultural building were displayed mo- tor cars. A good deal of the me spent in for- mer years on prizes for exhibits went to swell the & purses for horses racing at the fair. Instead of the canning and the needlework there was the style = show fer the ladies. Perhaps this looks like heresy considering the = staid lines along which county fairs have been inevitably cast, but just think it over. The farmer spends 12 months of the year with his corn, his _ hay, his cattle and hogs. Do you think he enjoys = his day off going from building to building, staring at the same pigs he has had to face all year? Perhaps a little jazz is what the farm situation . Teally needs, 4 <i Have at You, Garibaldi! Over at Nice, two Italian Journalists fought a ., desperate duel. Nothing less than rapiers, girls. * For nine rounds they struggled, parried, thrust. % And at the finish, lo! there stood the, two journal- ~ ists, just as intact as upon the day they came into the world, ~ These duels are getting to be a regular feature of the news columns. Time after time we read of two Italians fighting a bloody battle in which neith- er participant suffers so much as a scratch. & We are reminded of cur history book. In the early & days of the nineteenth century duels were common among the young bloods of the American navy. Ten * paces, with pistols. One of the combatants usually Fy was carried off the field of honor dead, or in a dying condition. : red 2 HS att i In those days a duel without a fatality was news. ~ Now news values are changing, and if the Italians § kere. at it, pretty soon a duel will have to be fatal ; the paper. i Perhaps the only way dueling over there will be : Ecdae per Dl eventuality of one of the een slaying’ -his opponent. > Hasten the We are sick of réading about these i i | able power to delight, |word “charm” could apply to “budgeting an in-| . to be given in the Chicago Trade Union College, : THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE — a it was noticed something was wrong with | prince’s thumb. “I sprained it playing golf,” was |’ his explanation. i And there lies the secret of his real attraction. | The chances are the idea never entered his heal) that he should stay out of the water just because | he had a sprained thumb.

Personally, the word “charm” could not apply to our budgeting. We always have too many things that must be bought and too little money with which to buy them, which naturally makes budgeting neither attractive nor of indefin- Still, we can conceive that such a condition might exist. There might conceivably be moro than suf- funds with which to meet our obligations, and in that event we would be both delighted and charmed—net to say exceedingly surprised. They Laughed at Stevens A hundred years ago a man named John Stevens Rave America a hearty laugh. He wanted to build a railroad. The man went up and down the coun- try seeking charters. He, wrote endlessly to public men trying to get them interested in his project. Among those who doubted were such astute charac- ters as Thomas Jefferson, Rufus King, DeWitt Clinton and others, A monument remains to Stevens, for a great part of the Pennsylvania railroad was built under char- | ters that he obtained from unwilling lawmakers. If Jefferson, King or some of the others who scoffed at Stevens could scan the reports of the rail- roads’ business now! The bureau of railway eco- nomics places net operating income for class 1 réads in July of this year at approximately $177,000,000, er the equivalént of an annual rate of return of 5.62 per cent. And the July showing is only slightly better than for previous months this year. It would do John Stevens’ heart good if he could sit and scan those figures.
