CHICAGO NEW YORK (Official City, State and County Newspaper) LAST OF LOG DRIVES | The tide of empire, according to the old proverb, has | been pushing its way westward for a good many years. Here and there it has left a short stretch of frontier behind, surrounded by modern complexity. But these spots are fast vanishing. Year by year they grow fewer. New York and Detroit are altogether too much for them. The last of the great white pine log drives is now being finished in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Nearly 2,500,000 feet of logs are coming down the Manistique river; when the drive is finished. lumbermen say, Michi- gan will have seen the last of the really large-scale af- fairs of that kind. ‘Thus another lost bit of the old frontier, incongruously preserved in as up-to-date a state as Michigan, passes on. For the old-time lumberjack and his log drives were things of the frontier, beyond all argument. They started, as far as Michigan was concerned, when Michigan was one vast wilderness, and they are coming to an end be- cause that wilderness has vanished, giving way to farms, manufacturing towns, ra:'woads, paved roads and golf courses. ‘Tt was ’way back in 1832 that Michigan's logging days started. Someone built a sawmill at Saginaw in that year, and from that moment the axes of the lumber- jacks were constantly flashing afd ringing. Gangs of men worked month after month, heaping tremendous Piles of odorous new logs by the river bank; then in the spring, when melted snows gave the river added power, the logs were tumbled in and floated down to the mills— floated down with busy lumberjacks along to make the | numbers, passenger cars exceeded in trucks by seven to THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JULY 22 | Watch Out for ‘Side-Do or Pullman’ Tourists! | 15 stories high would be buried. The continent of Europe | could be made three times over out of salt, with its | Balkan, Pyrenees and Alps mountain ranges. Most of us will fear that salt would have lost its savor in such a deluge. The gold and silver, too, wouldn't be of much avail if everyone were equally supplied. But if the thought of your share of the riches which time has stored in the high seas, the aquatic No Man's region, gives you joy, then indulge it to the full. But don't let the wealth go to your head. And remember that although the riches of the sca may never be yours, the fertile, smiling land may still be forced to yield its faith- ful bounty to your industry. THE AUTOMOBILE OUTPUT During the first six months of 1929 American auto- mobile producers, turned out more cars and trucks than in any full year up to 1923. The total was approximately 3,180.000 units compared with 2,211,000 in the first half of 1928. The increase in the output of cars over last year has been about 44 per cent. In June estimated Ameri- can production of cars and trucks was 509.000, a decline from May, but a new high record for the month. Most of the gain has resulted from the expanded Production of popular price cars. Exclusive of Fords, output during the first half of the year increased about 15 per cent over 1928. The increase in the number of cars turned out by the Ford plants was around $00 per cent, reflecting the return of that company to large scale production. The rate of increase this year has been most pro- nounced in trucks. The output of trucks during the first five months of the year was 78 per cent, while that for passenger cars was 44 per cent. However, in actual one. Passenger car output in the first five months of the year was 2,319,636 compared with 348,890 for trucks. With 25,000,000 automobiles registered in this country, the replacement demand is large. Moreover, the number of two-and three-car families is growing rapidly. Ex- Ports of automobiles also are breaking all records, in- dicating total sales abroad this year of fully 750,000 cars against about 500,000 in 1928, The present is the normal time for seasonal slacken- ing in the automobile industry, after providing for the spring demand. Actually, most companies have slowed down, but one or two large producers of popular priced models continue at top speed. This fact is helping to les- sen the usual seasonal slump for general industry. THESE CHANGING TIMES Many tears are being shed and many lamentations are heard for the passing of ancient landmarks, cherished traditions and national institutions. The tears and lamentations increase as the “departures” increase, and in this progressive era the “departures” are many. Kansas misses her horse rails and posts. Several states have bidden fond farewells to canals and canal inns, which have been abandoned because of the inability of the waterways to compete with the railroads. Mountain- ous states regret the forcing of the old watering trough off the roads by the automobile and improved highways. And virtually everywhere the barber pole is passing into oblivion. Traffic conditions, city planning commissions and dif- wild river behave itself, floated down to the tune of danger and hardship and endurance and death. Epic stories came out of this strange, picturesque in- dustry. Timber kings were made over night, building grotesque mansions in isolated mill towns. The lumber- Jack became famous—famous for his deeds of strength and courage, famous for his wild, uncontrollable sprees with which he celebrated the ending of each drive, fa- mous for his fights and for the liquor he could drink. And Michigan's forests disappeared. By 1900 the lower Peninsula was about cleared. Ten years later the bulk of the big operations in the upper peninsula were fin- ished. There are still logging camps there, to bé sure; but the great days are ended. The Manistique river is floating down its last big drive. After this the story will be just about closed. America still produces timber, of course. But the big forests now are far to the west. The tide of empire is moving toward the setting sun, pushing the frontier ahead of it. What Oregon and Washington are now, Michigan was three decades ago—and what Michigan is now, Oregon and Washington will be in a few more years. The lumberjack, riding downstream on a shift- ing carpet of swaying logs, is on his way to join the Cowboy and the old-time sailor. INVEST IN BISMARCK Get rich quick schemes are not confined to bogus oil stocks and kindred affairs, There is legitimate oil stock just as there is legitimate stock of other character. A man who is supposed to have more than ordinary abil- ity, one who has been successful in life, will often laugh ferent business conditions are combining to persuade more and more barbers to “take in” the signs of their trade. In some towns and cities none survive the on- slaughts of progress and modernity. Barbering flourished as a business in Biblical times, Ezekiel mentions this craftsman in the Old Testament. A barber was one of the central figures in an Italian novel written by Alessandro Manzoni in the first half of the nineteenth century, the plot of which was sug- gested by an historical incident which occurred in 1630 and which involved a Milan barber. The barber pole with its stick-candy effect once ad- vertised the fact that the barber within not only shaved beards and trimmed hair but “let blood” for the ill and extracted teeth on occasion. The ball which has long surmounted the barber pole superseded several decades back a copper basin with a gap on one side which rep- resented a similar instrument that was placed around the customer's neck to protect his clothing from the lather and clipped hair. How odd that automobiles should run down more People than wagons did. The wagons had tongues, Tf all men talked and dressed alike, as they might, there wouldn't be any howl for “equality.” Many a man has a lame excuse because he got his foot in it by getting his leg pulled. Philosophy is the art of pegging away at your job and not worrying about Ford's income. at those who invest a few hundred dollars in some wild- | cat oil stock game, and just because a slick tongued sales- man comes along with a proposition offering something dust as wild but with a strictly good name, the man who dodges the oil stock falls for the other. It Just goes to Prove that Barnum was right. The American like to be fooled, and one lesson is rarely sufficient, There are laws to protect the public from illegitimate securities, but there is no law to prevent an enterprise ‘selling steck in a company which is unlikely to succeed, A good salesman, one who can picture that legitimate enterprise as possessed of qualities which Preclude every Possibility of failure, proves too much for the investor, and away goes the money. There is no law against the ability to paint investments by well worded speeches in glowing colors. 2 ‘There are few cities where there are not Opportunities ever at hand for the investor, Opportunities where there 4s far less uncretainty than those offered in other places. ‘When those opportunities loom so large that they may compare with the description of the investment offered by the salesman from another city, in nine hun- dred and ninety instances out of a thousand there are local investors who are ready and willing to finance it. Opportunities that are strictly gilt edge rarely have to be peddied. ‘Where there is a chance element, of course, the wary beware, and then it is that capital must looking for a gamble ‘With so many investments in Bismarck, or at least with the opportunity for such great investments, it is passing Strange that there are not more of them taken advan- Surely it is not necessary to go to look for in- ‘m that Bismarck needs capital of its real needs.

In the house of commons strong dis- senf wes manifested by some Liberal and many Labor members. They lamented this breach of the sacred right of political asylum. But the government stood firm and gave no reasons for its decision adverse to Trotsky. But what they are may easily be surmised. Prime Minister MacDonald burned his fingers badly in trying to deal with one Russian firebrand in 1924, and doubtless does not wish another experience of that kind. Besides, he has already entered upon negotiations with the Moscow government which exiled Trotsky. To ad- mit to England the man whom the soviets had expelled from his own land as a traitor to their cause would not be @ good way for the Labor government to ingratiate itself with the powers that be in Moscow. It has been reported, and indeed, Foreign Secretary Henderson definitely stated, that béfore diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia are resumed definite pledges will be re- quired that no communist agitation in England is to be encouraged or permitted by the Moscow authorities. That 1s asking @ good deal. If they give so much they will expect something in return. The exclusion of Again youth—comparative—beauty, silken hose, and a chic hat won. Miss Ann Livingston, 29, “Tulsa divorcee,” as she was constantly described throughout the trial, was awarded by “a middle aged jury” $25,000 heart balm money from Franklin Hardinge, ofl millionaire. It is probably unfair to say that Anne didn't have a good story for the jury, as well as a pretty hat and good looking ankles, but somehow all the elements of what lawyers call “a sure fire case” seem to be here, es- pecially with that all-male, “middle aged” jury, notoriously susceptible to fair plaintiffs. « MAYBE IN SPITE OF This hasn't happened for @ long time. We had about come to believe that the very prevalence of the tale of their susceptibility moved strong men to grind their teeth down on their instinct to give a favorable award to a fair plaintiff. Perhaps Miss Ann won her $25,000 in spite of her comeliness and not because of it. Have you noticed, too, the use of that phrase “divorcee” whenever woman is caught in the public print? Have you noticed that the fact that '® @ man may be a divorcee is never tacked onto him publicly? We still cling to the idea that a divorced wom- an is a bit of a rarity. * * * “KISS ME AGAIN!” “People kiss more strenuously than they did 15 years ago,” declared some Dr. before a recent medical conven- tion, explaining “necking” was causing a spread of mouth diseases.

The clerk ruled that the twins were one person, and that their marriage would mean one Person having two wives. ‘Whether it was all a publicity hoax or not, there is surely a nibble for thought here. Our own venture would be that two girls fools enough to marry them certainly nerd po hon in being prevented, and that the Ste amese twins themscives may be cu- titled to whatever they can gct away with, their carthly pleasures seem- ing few enough at best. * oe POT AND KETTLE Divorce is not legal in Brazil. If a couple wish to separate, one or the other states that he or she was forced into the marriage against his or her will. At that, this isn’t so different from our own law which makes collusion illegal while it knows perfectly well that collusion enters into the major- ity of all divorce cases. x ok OR GO TO IT!

Some- times patients think that mucus is the tissue lining of their intestines. The mucus may also resemble trans- Parent worms. The intestines are lined with mu- cous membrane and secrete mucus normally as a lubricant, but when they are irritated by toxic material they endeavor to protect themselves by throwing off an excessive quantity of mucus. Where this irritation has continued over a length of time, the mucous membrane may develop a secretion neurosis or habit of secret- ing an excessive quantity of mucus. This condition is found most fre- quently in nervous, highstrung, hys- terical or neurotic patients. Sometimes an excessive secretion of mucus is caused by simple catarrh | of the intestine, or it may be caused by a disease of the intestines which produces an irritation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Infected Fingernails) Question—H. G. writes: “For a year and a half I have been troubled with infected fingernails. Have tried sev- eral remedies but got only temporary relief. Two of the nails have come off. What do you advise” Answer—You are starving for bone- building salts. The acidosis from which you suffer can be cured if you spots in the colon. | Mucous colitis is often mistaken for | appendicitis, inflammation of the | ovaries, or other inflammatory condi- | tions of the abdomen. This is because the irritation of the colon by the toxins and the distension from gas} may cause symptoms which are at-| tributed to some other abdominal or- | igin. | Where there is some doubt about | the diagnosis, a microscopic examina- tion will distinguish the mucous cells | from pus and mucous membrane, | worms, indigested vegetable skins, or | sausage skins, etc. In the majority of cases of mucous colitis, there will | be found a complete sagging of all of | the abdominal organs, and usually ad- | hesions will be found to have bound | down the colon, making the bowels still more sluggish and obstructed. There is usually a reduced amount | of bile production. The stool is oc- | casionally very light in color for this | reason. ‘ Mucous colitis is not an acute dis- | ease and therefore cannot be cured | quickly by any known method. The | interlying causes must be corrected. | One must pay particular attention to using good combinations of food and | plenty of exercise, especially of the | abdominal muscles to develop a bet- | ter peristaltic action of the colon. The hardest cases to recover are | those of a hysterical or neurotic na- ture. Emotional disturbances, worry and lack of sleep are especially likely | logical causes are so many and often | So subtle that it would take a volume { adequately to discuss them. | Some of the conditions which make | for poor appetite are these: Overso- | licitude on the part of mother or nurse, too much talk about eating habits, emotional scenes before eat- dinner table, servings so large as to be discouraging. | It is obvious that it is easy to culti- vate poor appetite and the technic for cultivating a good one is difficult only because it runs counter to many of our natural impulses.

It was a rallying place for recruits, a depot for supplies, and the center of manufacture for arms and ammu- nition. For this reason it was the objective of General Sherman when he started his famous march to the sea. After one preliminary skirmish out- side of Atlanta on July 20, the siege of Atlanta began on July 22. Hood, the Confederate general in command, made a bloody but unsuccessful at- tack on Sherman's extreme left un- der command of McPherson, who was killed in this battle. Loss of federal troops in this battle was estimated to be 20,000, while the Confederate loss was nearly 15,000. Hood again at- tacked on July 28, and, as before, was sed. Meanwhile, Sherman had continued his bombardment of the city and on September 1 it was evacuated by Hood and his troops and the federals took possession the next day. | | “Trade relations between nations | must be based on the principle of give | and take if they are to develop into a | long-lasting and amicable alliance.”— aa Prochnik, Austrian Ambassa- r * eK “The state makes laws forbidding unnecessary labor in order that its citizens may rest and be physically | strong and not for the purpose of crowding our churches, or making men moral by law.”—Rev.
