Kresge Bidg (Official City, State and County Newspaper) LEHIGH RAISES BIG HOPES | Visitors to the Lehigh lignite briquetting plant, Sun-; Gay, saw the state’s most potential industrial possibility ‘earning to walk. ‘They came away wondering just how it all would work out in detail eventually, but rather imbued with a vision | of a great industry being set on its feet. To gaze on thé complicated machinery rigged up with such complex ad- justment was to get the impression of permanency, that here was something that was workable, something that impliedly was beyond doubt and misgiving and could only go on as an established business in the daily march of commerce and industry. ‘Thus there was a feeling that industriel North Da- kota has arrived. For success at Lehigh must mean the ‘wiultiplication of the plant built there last summer and put into operation last Saturday. Wherever there is lig- nite—and that is all over the Slope country—success at Lehigh will inspire other ventures into the manufacture of this compressed fuel with its profitable by-products which, it is being predicted even this early, will sooner or later become chief products and relegate the fuel to a secondary rank. ‘The process installed at Lehigh is no longer an experi- fore being adopted here. However, in this state it has had to adjust itself to the variation in composition of the lignite deposits from those of the Rhine country. ‘That problem was dealt with before the Lehigh plant ‘was undertaken. As in all enterprises, there has had to be fresh adjustment as the wheels began to turn and that} was being done at the plant Sunday, getting the equip- ment into smooth working condition. Tentatively, other problems have been worked out in advance and will need some little adjustment, probably, as the business gets under way on the selling end of the| undertaking. A valuable market awaits the venture. With ability to accomplish successful competition against which is the aim and assumption of the projectors—the lignite industry of North Dakota would be launched on ® gigantic program of commercial and industrial de- velopment. It could supply an annual demand running into millions of tons alone as transported fuel, while here at home the cheapness of the fuel would assuredly be an inducement for manufacturing establishments to’ enter the state and consume other\vast tonnages of the lignite in the vicinities of the supply. jendless eternity. jant things then grow bigger. ‘ \ No man can go through life in a water-tight compart- OUR LIFE’S MEASURE A merchant in Trenton, N. J., died the other day and left a very interesting will. This document, after direct- ing the disposal of his property, ordered that his tomb- stone bear this inscription under his name—‘Has lived and accomplished nothing.” Unless the merchant's family objects, that epitaph wil! be carved on his monument, to stir future generations to wonder briefly what sort of man was buried there. Modesty is a great virtue, most of the time, and it is a bit refreshing to run across a man who is willing to admit |that he has done nothing whatever worth mentioning. | Yet too much modesty is as bad as too little; and no man on earth ever really deserved the epitaph that this Tren- ton merchant selected. The sum of anyone's accomplishments is never easy to reach correctly. We ourselves seldom know just what we have done with the few years that are allotted us out of Sometimes we think we have done a great deal when we actually have done little; but, more often, we think we have done very little when we really have done much. ; “Accomplished nothing.” Who ever deserved to have that said of him? Not the sorriest failure you could find in any mid-winter bread line. In reviewing a life you can't limit yourself to the things that mean money. Power, success or fame. When a man reaches the last day those look rather trivial. Small, forgotten, unimport- ment. Every contact with the rest of the world contains the seed of an accomplishment. Suppose there is only a handful of trivialitie-—unremembered acts of kindness; moments when the soul wrestled with dark temptation! and conquered it; times when fear, having lodged in the! eart, was discovered and torn out; instances when a; show of hope or a display of unselfishness helped con- | vince someone else that the world, after all, was a better; place than had been supposed. Suppose that is all there | is when the record of life is ended. Is that nothing? i Nothing? Such things are everything.“ Concrete achievements have a way of falling away to nothingness | in the course of time. Fame is forgotten, great estates shrink, business enterprises drop out of sight—nothing | remains. But these things—the forgotten, unimportant | things that every living mortal achieves at some time or} other—are everlasting. The seed of them is perennial; Slowly, year by year and century by century, they gather force. Eventually they will change the tace of the world. The Trenton merchant was wrong when he said that he had accomplished nothing. No man can say that. Every moment of vision, every act of kindness, every in- ternal victory over the forces of darkness, is an ac-| complishment. They are not the kind that gets carved on/ tombstones. Yet they last forever. GERMANY’S NEW CRUISER Dispatches from Europe indicate that Germany has launched a new cruiser that may revolutionize warship construction. Limited by the Versailles treaty to eight warships of 10,000 tons apiece, Germany has just launched her first! one. While held in the 10,000-ton class, it is said to be far more powerful than any ship of its size afloat. It carries 11-inch guns, and is said to have a new type of armor far more effective than anything in existence. It would be interesting if Germany, through improved technical methods, should be able to develop a fleet that could rank with those of her conquerors. Interesting, yet not surprising, after all.

What should up my strength and always had more or less like a drum at times after Answer: One of the best you to take while recovering from your mouth troubles is to go on a well rezulated milk diet. If you take a glass of milk every hour di ing the day, as long as you are aw: you will be able to get enough nour- ishment without using any other food. Your gums will heal more perfectly under this diet than if you tried to use other foods. Peanut Butter Questionr F.
