(Official City. State and County Newspaper) VOTE WEDNESDAY The first duty of every citizen of North Dakota in the primary election next Wednesday is to vote. The primary practically will decide who are to be North Dakota’s state officers in the next biennium, for this is a Republican state and the Republican nominees are prectically assured of election in November. The Republican groups are not far apart in their general objectives. Practically the only question upon state affairs involved is who shall administer the state industries. League and Independent Repub- licans are agreed the industries shall not be suspended or expanded. The Leagy: Republicans are pledging themselves to a safe, same administration of state affairs in sym- pathy with the industrial program, which in the last analysis is North Dakota’s contribution toward solu- tion of the marketing problem of the farmers of this 1 State. The Independent candidates are pledging themselves to safe and sane administration of the state industries. The winner in Wednesday's primary accepts im- portant responsibility. It will be a good thing for this state if it is fully placed within one of the contend- Ing groups seeking endorsement at the polls. That will mean centralized responsibility. North Dakota had several divided verdicts and it has suf- fered from them, for they have needlessly prolonged a fight in this state that has left the people distracted and politics weary. The quicker this fight is ended and definite respon- sibility is placed in one group the better for every interest here. Whoever wins and whoever loses we shall have business as usual in North Dakota. Yet it is impor- tant that every voter go to the polls. To vote is a duty of good citizenship. It is the greatest individual privilege in the scheme of American democracy. The people have within their hands the power to control their government in the ballot. Yet instances fre not lacking indicating we have minority govern- ment because of failure of voters to express them- selves. One of the greatest menaces to American institu- tions today is the vote slacker. Where the people are apathetic corruption is manifest and misgovernment all too often prevails. Where the people are alert the political groupings fare responsive to their bidding and quickly rally to the equality issue. It probably be made soon after the Democrats go on record. And there is every | prospect that it will come nearer meeting the view-| point of the western farmer than anything that coms! out of Kansas City. | INCONSISTENT MR. SHAFER George F. Shafer is hard pressed to make out a case in the campaign now closing that qualifies him before the people as anything more than the most obvious type of office seeker with a record behind him as an average practical politician. | Speaking at Kenmare Friday night he is quoted as declaring that deep and obvious harm has been! done this state by the huge public debt created by our state industries. Yet he is compromising upon them, as he has in- dicated throughout this campaign which as it closes finds both him and his friends defending them. He is particularly solicitous about the viewpoint of outside capital upon North Dakota, he indicated at Kenmare also. s He believes in keeping North Dakota a branch state whose affairs are dictated by the representatives of eastern interests in Cass county. He is dolefully sounding off upon all the so-called failures of the industrial program to which he now subscribes while. pointing out its shortcomings. But he is entirely omitting the record of state in- dustries that have demonstrated some degree service. He shows the degree of extremism to which he has attained when he draws a parallel between southern states in reconstruction days following the civil war and North Dakota now. It would be as much in point to go back to the Hellenic era in Greece when stones were erected on mortgaged farms to designate them as encumbered and compare it with the North Dakota or today. He fears “possible utter bankruptcy of the state” by a continual “plunging into debt.” For this relief much thanks. In his opening speech before the bankers at Man- dan he succeeded quite effectively in terrifying some of them by predicting “ruin, bankruptcy apd impaired credit.” His latest “possible bankruptcy” pronouncement is impressive as a modification of his earlier positive “ruin, bankruptcy and impaired credit” pronouncement. | In his final speeches in this campaign he is giving most impressive evidence of the fact that this is a struggle of the “Outs” to oust the “Ins.” Throughout the campaign neither he nor his friends have said much about the fundamental problem of farm marketing, the injustices of which have brought North Dakota to a sustained political impasse. Evidently he does not see it. If he does he ignores it. In any event there is none so blind as he who will not see. Mr. Shafer daily gives more impressive demonstra- tion of the fact that he is fi: ig for office with worms from Mr. Townley’s bait can. His fundamental grasp of North Dakota’s economic problems is nervous and uncertain, He suffers much by comparison with the construc: tive action and the positive methods proposed by} T. H. Thoresen and the state candidates upon the League Republican ticket. And for the good of this state it is to be regretted that the campaign now clos: ing was not conditioned as a series of debates between Thoresen and Shafer. That would have given the people a chance to com- pare viewpoints first hand. It would have developed beyond cavil that the League Republican viewpoint is the more consistent, the more constructive and the more truly devoted to the best interests of North Dakota. t of their viewpoint. North Dakota needs nothing so much next Wednes- day as a positive verdict upon such as issues as have been made in this campaign from all its people. The stay-at-home voter, by his lack of interest is doing much to perpetuate a situation here that is not to North Dakota’s advantage. This state needs a positive verdict, whatever it may be. That will definitely fix responsibility. It will get results in accordance with the interests of the people. To vote is your first duty Wednesday no matter ‘which political group you are affiliated with. And all the political groupings are to be commended for their activities and for their interest in the matter of getting out the vote. We shall have government by the people only when their verdicts are positive and indicated by decisive majorities at the poll Another opport is before the people to make their government. responsive to them as they wish it to be. . 4 + ; No good citizen will neglect it. 4 HOBSON'S CHOICE AT HOUSTON It is apparent as the Democratic national convention gets under way at Houston that Governor Al Smith, of New York, has things pretty much his own way. Strategically he enters the convention in practically the same position Herbert Hoover occupied in the Kansas City convention. He is within 34 votes of the two-thirds necessary to choice of the Democratic pres- Sdential nominee and his friends are declaring they can nominate him on any ballot they choose. Senator Reed is standing out, of course. He is more interested in party harmony, however, and in rousing Democracy for a militant campaign than he is in any Personal ambition to be the party nominee. So he continues in the race as a rallying point for ll those who oppose the recognized policies of the New York governor in, governmental affairs with one exception. That is that he is as wet as Smith is, if not wetter. It requires only superficial analysis of the situation at Houston to determine that the party has a Hobson's choice and that Al Smith is the beneficiary of this situation. Eastern Democrats can not be sent home sulking in their tents and to become Republican voters for this campsign at least. That is precisely what will happen if a minority of the Democratic convention should be able to prevent the naming of the east’s favorite. I¢ is also quite apparent that at this time the issue of prohibition enforcement is receiving more attention from the A VICTORY WORTH WHILE The Bismarck Association of Commerce is to be con- gratulated for its interest in the rate revision case which has just terminated in a victory meaning cheap- er freight rates for butter, eggs and poultry from this section to Chicago and Duluth, Its efforts were joined with that of similar organ- izations in Mandan, Jamestown, Fargo, Grand Forks, Valley City and Minot and the interstate commerce commission’s decision is practically a 20 per cent cut in the existing rates. Farming interests of this section are the direct bene- ficiary. The new schedule of rates becomes effective in all the territory of the state east of the Missouri river at a time when advocates of better farming are effectively promulgating the doctrine of diversifica- tion. It will be especially encouraging to dairymen and poultrymen and it assures North Dakota growers It is proof, too, that the substantial business inter- ests of this city and other North Dakota cities are in- terested in the problems of the farm and that they seek to aid constructively in solving them. The freight rate structure of this state is loaded with inequalities and discrimination against its farmers. The case just decided points the way to further achievement. The Bismarck Association cf Commerce had an im- portant part in bringing it about. | = Editorial Comment TWAIN MADE CHARGES (Kansas City Star) Mark Twain's first draft of “Tom Sawyer,” with his letter to his pul er, is still preserved and shows that. the humorist made many alterations before submitting the story. One interesting deletion is a phrase fro) the episode of the poodle that sat down on the ieee bug Tom -eleased im church during a dull sermon. When the pinchbug clamped on the dog fled yelping, but it was originally written that the poodle was “fiercely expressing at one end the woe that was tor- turing the oth-~.” NOT THE (N ONLY PARTY lew York Times) ; Secretary Hoover again showed how efficient he is by having a “message” ready to be sent to the Repub- liean National Convention 2s soon as Chairman asked for one. In it the candidate plainly sought to make it cleer to doubters, within his own party, that he is a thoroughgoing Republican. He endorsed the latform. He considered it to be essential that the Republican organization be strengthened, and finally expressed the opinion that “it is vital to the welfare of the United States that the Republican Party shall continue to administer.” This may have been intended to shut the mouths of those Republicans who hgve been comp! ing that only ten years ago Mr. Hoover thought that it was vital to the welfare of the United States to uphold a Democratic President by electing a Demo- cratic Congress. Whether he will have stcpped that kind of resentful talk it is not yet clear. We are con- tent to leave him to settle this with the enemies in his own political household. it should not be allowed to pass wi:hout challenge is Mr. Hoover's quiet assumption that the Republican Party is the only one fit to rule in this country. This isa ‘monopolistic claim often made before the Secre- tary of Commerce appeared on the political stage.

My _ feeling I suppose,,js this: at if a married woman ives her jov 01 homemaking unto another, and goes out to work herself, it ought to be at something impor- tant—more important at least than what she is giving up. And just showing clothes all day seems so trivial to me. And I can’t help feeling that there are lots of girls in the city, who really need to support themselves, who should have these jobs, rather than two girls such as you and Miss Smith, who are amply provided for and are merely amusing yourselves by working. One hears so much about unem- ployment and the difficult times girls have earning an honest living in cities that it is easy to under- stand why they resent this compe- tition from women who do not have to consider wages, and who can, as you say, walk out on a job any time it becomes a bore. If it causes you to appreciate your home more, and makes it possible for you to welcome a quiet evening, however, I ought to make no objec- tions. And I do not. Tell Alan I am sending a_ box of preserves, all nicely labeled, for his particular benefit, and that he may do as he likes about sharing them. And I’m going to have more for you later on as the other berries come in season. I have so much time now that I really love to fuss with this sort of thing. I think you may expect Florence back most any time, since she has about convinced her mother that life here is impossible for her. She wants to have a little apartment of her own, she says, where she can de- vote herself to the development of her career without the cramping in- fluences of her family. Have you written to her that you | are modeling? I have said nothing | to her about it. She is such a gos- | sip, and people here will think it | very strange that you are working. | It will reflect on Alan. So I think | it is best not to start any conjectures. | They never would understand your | attitude, |. Are you planning to come home jlater in the summer? Everyone is anxious to see you and you will dis- appoint them dreadfully if you don’t —to say nothing of how I shall miss you. Perhaps you would like to be here for the fair week—that will be the first of September. But any time that will suit you will be splendid for me. Devotedly, MOM.

And while hundreds of thousands, whose means will not al- low them to make the trip, yearn vainly for a peep at the great build- ings or the gay white way or the fashionable shops, those who could be within the heart of Manhattan in- side an hour seldom cross its thresh- jold. Often their sons, daughters, brothers, mothers or sisters go to work in New York daily. . The other day four elderly women were arrested for shoplifting in a big Gotham department store. It de- veloped at their trial that they all came from a nearby town in New Jersey. One of them never before had been in a department store. An- other had not been to New York for 14 years. ceoee One Sunday, about a year ago, while taking a hike in the hills just back of White Plains, which is one of Manhattan’s most popular sub- |urbs, I stopped at a little farm house for a drink of water. While talking with the hill dweller and his | Becai wife, they asked me a number of strange questions about the city. In surprise I inquired if they were unacquainted with the ways of New York. Whereupon I learned that To all intents and .purposes they | 0 Bs) neither ever had taken the trouble to visit the city. “But some day,” the farmer's wife told me, “I going to run down and see it.” She had spent all of her life just out of White Plains. And White Plains is less than an hour from Grand Central Station. Just why all this is I do not pretend to know, unless it be that some are born to whom the quiet countryside is sufficient, and who possess no curiosity or interest con- cerning the mad and hectic ways of the city. They bear their children, rear them and die, and spend their lives in quiet and peace. And the older I grow the more, I must ad- mit, I envy them. eee As we've often had occasion to re- mark, there’s no telling what will draw a New York crowd. For . instance — hurrying home tly on an afternoon when the city dripped with a soft rain we j Were attracted by the sight of sev- eral hundred gathered in a semi-circle.

So we went over to find out the what and the why. There, in the center of this great throng, a young woman was perched upon a sand pile, left by workmen who had been excavating for a sky- scraper. Beside her was her baby and she was engaged in building for the child a handsome mud castle of sand, quite undisturbed by the pres- ence of the gaping crowd. cee They do say—that straw hats are having a hard time getting started this year. % .- And that lavender bands will be popular, if the weather ever fit for straws...

Thinking that it might be interesting to my readers, I have decided to give a list of these elements and their uses, together with the foods which contain the largest amounts of each. Some of ‘hese minerals, as they are found i: the chemical shop, are exceedingly Re but after they have been cbsorbd and made use of by el 8 me changes take place in their structurc and they become useful elements. While every natur- al, unrefined food contains all of these elements in some proportion, it is convenient for dietetic purposes to group those together which are richest in special elements. It would be well t» clip out this and the fol- lowing article for reference. Phosphorus is a_ stimulator of growth and activity. This ten- dency must be curbed by the pres- ence of sulphur and alkaline elements or there will be a tendency to tum- ors, irritability, and bony exudates. Some phosphorus is essential to the thinking processes, This does not mean that you can eat phosphorus and develop an enormous brain any more than eating meat will develop enormot.; muscles. Only the actual work of thinking can make the brain use phosphorus. The foods which are richest in phosphorus are kale, bran, liver, truffles, radishes, pump- kin, pike, cucumbers, cheese, swiss chard, lettuce and egg yolk. : Sulphur is an intestinal antiseptic, and it gives the skin and hair a lux- uriant pliability. It acts as a brake or damper to the oxidation of phos- phorus in the body and in this way preserves the nervous vitality. The absence of sulphur leads to irritabili- ty, nervousness, insanity, tumors, and some skin disorders. The foods which are richest _in sulphur are watercress, kale, Brussels sprouts, horse-radish, spinach, raspberries, string beans, cabbage, and turnips. Silicon is uséd in the formation of the muscles, blood, nerves, skin, hair and nails. It forms a sort of t'ysue framework, and a lack of it causes falling hair, brittle nails, softened teeth, and possibly diabetes. Since silicon is found mostly in the skins of fruits and the bran of cereals, one may deprive one’s self of this valuable element by discarding these parts. Silicon is found in asparagus, cucumbers, lettuce, bran, dandelion, parsnips, fruit skins, strawberries, and beets. Chlorine increases the body’s re- sistance to tissue parasites and is necessary for the digestion and ag- similation of protein. A lack of it may result in uremic poisoning and indigestion. It is found in quanti- ties in oysters, cheese, lettuce, erg whites, spinach, celery, parsnips, cabbage, radishes, and whey. pis shi eased > PGR Rta RUE ES casi | BARBS 4 ERIE eee Harvard University will offer a course in mountain climbing this year.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. P. writes: “Please advise me what to do to help my mother who is seventy-seven years old. The doctors say it is just old age, but she is failing so fast. I feel something could be done to give her back her strength, at least so she could walk around the house unsup- ant She has no fever, but very ittle appetite, and oftentimes would not eat anything unless almost forced to do so.” Answer: Let your mother have her way about not eating much. Just fone the proper kinds of food for er and she will eat enough if she is really hungry. If she follows your urging to eat when she is not hungry, you will only be forcing her to do something which will shorten her life. Question: E. S. J. asks: “What kind of vegetables, meats, fruits, and pastries can one eat who has ul- cer of the stomach and_ intestinal gas? . Will the same diet correct constipation?” Answer: If you really have an ulcer of the stomach, milk is the only food you should be using until all signs of the ulcer disappear. Then your diet should consist of well balanced combinations such as I rec- ommend in my weekly health meaus, The same kind of foods properly used will correct constipation. Question: Ernest asks: “\Vill you tell me the cause of a cracking when I move my head and neck, and how to cure it?” Answer: The cracking noise is caused by ligaments slipping back into their proper places. This is because the ligaments are either too short or too long. They become short because of the contraction of muscles, and too long because of straining, such as holding the head in a faulty position. Persistent ex- ercise of the neck muscles will cor- rect the trouble. ——______—________¢ [ PEOPLE'S FORUM ] We glory in our possession of 8 constitutional government and of heritage guaranteeing to each citi- zen political liberty and the right to overn ourselves through the secret lot.
