(Official City, State and County Newspaper) SSE EE A The German Revival | Germans still have faith in “der Tag.” Lost in the | tremendous disaster of war, they sec it ahead in the ab- sorbing energies of peace. That explains German resus- citation from the crushing effects of the great world conflict. Their Zeppelins circumnavigate the globe, thelr | steamships create Atlantic records, they amaze the | world in navigating sailing ships by mcre motive power of revolving funnels, they glide through the air in motor- less planes, and when they do not achieve some inventive marvel, they come so close to it as to merit the belief that they are on the way to solving the secret of ultimate ‘accomplishment. ‘There is no miracle about Germany's recovery from the prostration of Versailles. Germans always have worked hard and for perfection, and when these habits were freed | from their absorption in militarism, the entire nation harnessed them to the achievement of supremacy in peace and industry. Some psychologists would trace this ‘will to conquer to implantation in the time of Charle- magne. When he scized the remnants of the Holy Ro- man‘Empire and claimed it as his heritage, he imbedded in the German psyche, say these psychologists, this su- premacy complex—the kultur of modern Germany. Astrologers have a formula which has been phrased in the terms that “one not a friend will bring you to the door of success.” That has been actually what has hap- pened in the case of Germany. When the Allies humil- fated the reich and disarmed it, they not only satisfied their feelings for war vengeance, they brought Germany to the door of opportunity. In the days of Schiller and Goethe, Germany was su- preme in the domain of the intellect. She was the| home of pocts and philosophers. Now she has attained dominance in Europe in the domain of industry and in- vention. England still grapples with the ills of the war nd has a tremendous unemployment problem to deal with, while Germany treads the path of comparative prosperity, so much the more conspicuous from the fact that this has ocen attained after industrial and financial collapse that made of Germany's money a grotesque burlesque and of her manufacturing centcrs a series of soup houses. Germany simply has lived up to her opportunity. Stripped of the great military machine of the Hohen- zollerns, the formidable strength of the Teuton was turned into industrial channels. Laboring long hours, amid starvation and revolution, inflation and deflation, the reich dent to the task of surmounting this maze of ‘ BOSTON | federal reserve bank district, of which North Dakota is a Building Sites for Song Home builders and investors are awaking to the fact | that some desirable property can be acquired in Bismarck by buying up lots taken over by the county for delinquent | taxes. Hardly a scssion of the city commission passes without one or more bids being received on parcels of such land. Usually the bidders offer the total of the back taxes with the penalties for delinquency and the interest in- cluded, If the bid seems reasonable, the city commission rec- ommends the sale. The matter then passes to the board of county commissioners. If they accept the city rec- ommendations, the lots are sold to the bidders. It is then up to these to go into court and clear title, which may add another $150 to the deal. The view of the city commissioners is that it is a profitable policy for the city to assent to these offers. When home builders obtain the tracts, not only is the land restored to the assessment and tax lists, but im- provements that are a benefit to the city and which provide increased income from taxes are attained. There is a considerable number of speculative lots on the delinquent tax lists, and the commissioners in exam- ining the lists, Monday evening, found there some very desirable building sites, Some of them are in platted additions in the path of building development at the present time, others are on the edge of the city, where there is plenty of air, open space and unhampered view to make the sites attractive. August Business Shows Big Gain Business history was written in August in the ninth part. It was written in figures and dollar marks. It is estimated, for instance, that cash income from frain marketed in the reserve district during the month increased to more than $30,000,000, which is nearly three times the total in August, 1928. In Minneepolis, the daily average of business increased 44 per cent over the same month of 1928, according to the federal reserve bank there. Early movement of grain under the stimulus of higher prices formed the combination that caused this general uptrend in cash income and volume of business. Frohably a better indication, according to the bank, of the district increase in general business volume in August, as compared with the same month last year, is given by the debits to individual accounts at the smaller cities in the district. Eight wheat belt cities reported an increase of 6 per cent in business volume and four mixed farming cities reported an increase of 17 per cent. The country check clearings index was 4 per cent larger in August this year than in the samé month a year ago. The Great Lakes Peril Compared with the oceans, the Great Lakes are puny bodies of water. Yet lake sailors will tell you that these inland seas can kick up terrifying storms, on occasion; and the recent loss of the steel freighter Andaste is abundant proof of the statement. The Andaste, a vessel of some 2000 tons, was on a that struck her was so violent that she went down with | f) all hands, carrying her crew of 28 to the bottom while | within a score of miles of land. The hazards that formerly attended lake sailing have been pretty well eliminated; yet the lakes still take their toll occasionally. The lake captain knows that it is never safe to relax his vigilance. Lake Michigan can be quite as dangerous as the Atlantic ocean. It's His Turn to Laugh The life insurance salesman is the butt for a good many jibes and jokes. Some of them he deserves, most of them he does not; but anyhow, it occurs to us that it is the life insurance salesman’s turn to laugh now. A survey just made by the Association of Life Insur- ance Presidents shows that life insurance in force in the United States passed beyond the $100,000,000,000 mark this summer, with policyholders numbering more than ni ‘wreckage and ruin, plodding where England muddled and France scolded, until today Germany again is treading the path of what her people regard the destiny of a place in the sun. If this can be continued, obviously “der Tag” ‘must some clay become a reality. Overemphasis in College Football A good many thousand young college men are living, Practically double what it was six years ago. Those figures are impressive. They speak volumes | about the prosperity and the thrift of the average Amer- ican—but they also speak volumes about the sales ability of the average life insurance salesman, A great many things in this world have started on a shoestring, including a bad day if the shoestring breaks. talking and dreaming football these days, ‘The life of a varsity player in one of the bigger schools 4s anything but a bed of roses. The pressure that cen- ters on a football team is tremendous. There is a highly- paid staff of coaches whose one desire is to produce a ‘winner; there is an eager band of influential alumni in the background with the same idea; and there is, in’ most eases, an expensive stadium which can only be paid for by big crowds, and which can only draw big crowds if its team wins its games. Hence the college football season, now getting under ‘way, is not at all what it was a matter of three or four decades ago, when students organized things themselves ‘and made the game nothing more than an enjoyable de- Pository for such excess youthful energy as they might possess. ‘The game nowadays is a business. In many cases the football player resembles a professional athlete far more than a college student. 8 ‘This is the sort of thing people have in mind when they @alk about “overemphasis.” That's ah expression you're going to hear this fall more than ever before, for the simple reason that the emphasis on football grows heavier ach year. A great many college presidents are wishing, privately, that the game and the man who invented it Be were in Gehenna, But there's one thing about this “overemphasis” that’s {worth bearing in mind. Football, admittedly, is emphasized too heavily. But ‘why? Because our college students are cold-blooded and mercenary, lacking the instincts of true sportsmen? Because our college authorities have forgotten that the chief business of a college is to provide young people with ‘an education? Not at all. The game is overemphasized for the sim- ple reason that it is an American game. Being an Amer- fean game, it is conducted in the American manner; that is to say, it is conducted with a passionate intensity and ferocity that could be duplicated nowhere else on earth. In other words, overemphasis in college football de- velops naturally from the American character. Ameri- can colleges could no more help making football a major Beauty and brains seldom go together because both are seldom needed. | Editorial Comment Everybody Will Agree to This (New York Times) Other parity agreements sadly needed: Between ordinary citizens’ annual income and some in- dividual’s annual expenditure.
