CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Offieial City, State and County Newspaper) THE FIRST NATIONAL MERGER | Bismarck has lined up with some of the most potent financial elements in the nation in the affiliation of the | First National bank with the newly-formed $341.000.000 | “First Bank Stock Corporation.” It is a financial de-/ velopment of major magnitude. The statement given out here by Col. C. B. Little, merely mentions a combination of “four Montana banks,” | the First National banks of Minneapolis and St. Paul and | the second oldest national bank of North Dakota. ‘That is not cll, however. The four national banks of Montana are all Anaconda Copper and Montana Power banks. Furthermore, there must be some affiliation with the Milwaukee railroad interests, as the Milwaukee is linked in financial bonds with both the Anaconda Copper company and the Montana Power company. Back cf the Milwaukee, in turn, are the powerful banking in- terests of Kuhn, Loeb and Company. The new combination, therefore, really is more than the biggest banking combination in the Northwest. It weuld seem to be @ very big combination in the sense of & national financial merger. The potentialities of some very big accomplishments seem to lie behind it. Since the Anaconda Copper company bought its way into the American Brass company, the mining industry of Montana has been lifted out of the depths of low in- come to the heights of amazing prosperity. At the same time, the Milwaukee railroad was reorganized and a lot of bonded indebtedness which was proving an unsur- mountable obstacle, was squeezed out of it. The system had almost suffocated from the effects of financial alti- tude, due to its dream of a transcontinental line to the ! "Pacific coast from Chicago. Reorganization has given “mew life to the Milwaukee. And back of it has stood at ll times the house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company. ‘The Montana financial interests thus have been put on new feet and, with the advent of high prices for cop- per, they have prospered. The four Montana banks with which the First National bank of Bismarck be- comes affiliated are among the strongest institutions of the intermountain Northwest. The First National here rubs elbows with very worthy financial comredes in these four banks alont—the Metals Bank and Trust company of Butte, Sam Stephenson's First National at Great Falls, the National Bank of Missoula and the Midland National of Billings. It would not be surprising if the First National bank cf Miles City and the Marlowe bank of Helena, also Montana, were brought into this combination event- ually. Both are dominated by the same interests which control the other four Montana banks. The Anaconda Copper interests have lately acquired control of the Miles bank and the Marlowe bank at Helena is a Mon- tona Power bank, which means also an Anaconda Cop- per bank. ‘The First National bank thus has joined very influ- ential financial company in these Montana banks, not to mention the St. Paul and Minneapolis institutions. The Montana banks represent $47,000,000 capitalization, the Bismarck bank represents resources of $4,800,000. | governmental machinery in order that more business tive economies. In most states such economies would be possible only through a general readjustment of ability and less politics might be applied to the operation | of the government. DISCOVERING EUROPE Europe may charge our deeds now to super-senti- | mentality, now to vanity, now to purse-pride and now to superiority complex, but whatever the force inspiring the American benefactor of the Old World, he is constantly helping out over there where the case seems most ser- jous. All England is dotted with historic spots saved from | ruin and obliteration by American dollars donated to | make repairs or to save the places from baser uses. Eng- land should be able to forgive us for transporting two or three of her ancient buildinges to American soil, for had it~ not been for American generosity and interest her agchitectural heritage would have been decimated by the ravages of time and nature far more than it has been by these few exportations of old stones and timbers. American tourists, or rather the dollars they spend abroad, are making it possible and expedient for Euro- pean countries to restore and maintain their deserted castles, fortifications and other landmarks. The fact that many of them were neglected and almost forgotten until the hordes of American tourists came would indi- cate that they are prized more by the visitors than by the native. WE STILL NEED CAVALRY While the army general staff goes over its budget, to the efficiency of the army as a whole, a number of people are suggesting that one way of saving money would be to wipe out the cavalry branch entirely. On the surface, this looks like a good argument. Cavalrymen can't fight in trenches, and trench warfare seems to be the thing nowadays. - Yet the cavalry still has its uses. In mountainous or arid country it is still a valuable arm of the service. Moreover, there are competent military men who assert the allies could have won the late war much sooner if | they had had enough cavalry troops to throw into action at the right moment. It is too soon to disband this ancient organization. If we maintain an army on a modern basis, it must still include cavalry. The silver lining to all domestic clouds is pay day.

It is that the scope of banking has enlarged. Financing no Jonger is confined to the needs of a community. What once was the field.of @ bank has expanded from com- munity into regional area. Thus it comes about that fi- nancial units which have been serving the narrow limits of their home communities have combined to reach out into the larger community which, in this instance, is the entire Northwest. It is a natural unfolding of the finan- cial field which brings these St. Paul and Minneapolis financial institutions together with the banks of North Dakota and Montana, which are the commercial and financial hinterland of the Twin Cities. Were he alive, Jim Hill would have had a hand in this financial maneuver. It is an empire-building movement in finance. It is the laying of the financial foundation of the whole structure of the new Northwest just begin- ning to come into existence with diversified farming and . industries, With such tremendous resources united, al- most anything in development for this great region can be expected.

Talks To $2, dé, Parents ON THEIR HONOR (By Alice Judson Peale) The boys had built themselves a camp dowh in the hollow, alongside} the brook. Regularly they slept jthere and cooked their suppers and breakfasts in the fireplace which| they had made of stones. They were gloriously happy in their freedom. | But mother heard tales of their staying up till all hours and she worried lest they should not be get- iting their quota of sleep which is (necessary for growing boys. Their bedtime was 9 and apparently they jwere staying up until after 10 al- |most every night. “You've been getting to bed pretty late haven't you?” she said. “Kind of. We didn’t notice much.” “Well, it seems to me that if we allow you to camp out, you ought to don’t want me coming down to put ;you to bed, do you? If you don’t, lit’s only fair that you should get yourselves to bed by 9, Will you promise to do that?” The boys stalled. “Yes, but some- |times the clock might be slow and} {sometimes we might be late over at! :Bill’s. If we are late just once in awhile, does that count?” “You know what I mean by get- |ting to bed regularly. Do you want to promise or dont you?” “Yes, but how will you know when we get to bed?” Oe, won't. I'll take your word for “All right. We promise.” It is a good idea to take your jchild’s word.

A FORESTRY EXPERIMEN (Minneapolis Journal) Overtures by the people and the legislature of Minne- sota to private owners of timber land have met their first response in the application of four Weyerhaeuser corporations for the listing of 172.420 acres of cut-over land in 8t. Louis county as “auxiliary forest.” This appli- cation is the first tangible result from the forestry tax amendment submitted by the legislature in 1925 and approved by the voters of the state at the general elec- tion of 1926. Great areas of cut-over land in northern Minnesota have been abandoned by the owners who had cut the virgin timber, because it did not pay them to keep up the taxes. Timber grows slowly and always is menaced by fire. It has been disheartening to see these poten- tially productive lands going back to wilderness and waste. Many students of the questiomhave contended that private owners cannot be expected to hold cut-over land, keep fires out and pay taxes for a generation, while of timber comes to merchantable size. view is that the state and federal governments a unfit for agriculture, and assume of raising new forests. forestry tax amendment and the laws passed to e to determine pplication, the land in question herea! five cents an acre each Ad MASOR, 100 BAD You WERENT HERE fo Go witd Us UP To BUSTER'S UNCLE'S \ FARM,“ AH Yes!

About 3 p. m., the German army attacked the British along the line of Conde-Mons canal. The British were to a certain ex- tent surprised and the powerful German artillery played havoc among them, with the result that that night the British forces were compelled to fall back to a position which had previously been recon- noitered, resting on the left of the fortress of Maubeuge and extending on the right to Janlein, southeast of Valenciennes. Opposing the English were the fourth and ninth German army corps, and they fought about equal numbers. The forces which awaited the German attack numbered about 86,000 men roughly divided into 70,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry and 312 guns. The front of the British army cov- ered about 20 miles and was an ex- cessive strain upon so small a force, since the enemy was more compact. The defeat in the battle of Mons was the beginning of the Anglo- French retreat which did not end un- til the famous battle of the Marne. f Our Yesterdays — FORTY YEARS AGO Wheat will average between 20 and 25 bushels to the acre according to estimates made by farmers in Burleigh county.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Varicose Veins Question: W. H. J. asks: “Is an operation for varicose veins on the leg serious one?” Answer: Removal of the enlarged veins is always a dangerous procedure, not so much because of the danger of the operation, itself, but because of the after-effects. It is far better to wear an elastic stocking, or to reduce the size of the vein by electrical treat- ments or the application of ice. The ice should be held against the en- larged vein for three or four minutes at a time and treatment given two or three times daily. Melba Toast Question: D. H. asks: Should Melba toast be buttered?” Answer: Melba toast stiould be buttered fresh as it is being eaten. By actual experience I have found that there seems to be some interfer- ence with the other foods eaten with Melba, toast when the butter is al- lowed to melt on the toast as it is being made. This may sound a little unreasonable, but my advice is to but- ter each bit as it is taken. Growth in Head Question: 8. G. writes: “I have a growth in my head which has almost. closed the air passage. I have to breathe through my mouth most of the time. Any dust causes me to sneeze, my nose to water, and my head to stop up so bad. I will ap- preciate anything you can advise to get relief.” Answer: Most nasal growths can be cured through dieting. The trouble is generally that the membranes of the nose are inflamed and swollen by the irritations of toxins which are thrown out through the mucous glands. Local treatments to the nose are sometimes helpful, but the sys- tematic cause must be removed if you are to expect a complete and perma- nent cure.
