Washington and Oregon can remember when the woodsman’s one great diversion was a semi-annual drunk that invariably ended in an epic fight—a fight in which steel-spiked shoes descended lustily on brawny bodies, a fight in which eye-gouging and hitch-kicking were ac- cepted as perfectly proper methods of offense, a fight which as like as not would tear down a whole building and think nothing of it. That is the lumber camp tradition. But now—golf courses! Something has changed, somewhere. Rowdyism is more intimately interwoven with our past than we usually think, The lumber-jack was only one among many; sailor, cowboy, miner, longshoreman, steel worker—all of these were hairy-chested, rough-and-tum- ble trades with no niceties or refinements. But the old order does change, and the lumber-jack is like the rest of us. We seem to have lost the frontier forever, somehow. If they can buiid golf courses adjacent to lumber camps, our riotous past has been eternally buried. | ———_—_—_———_ | Roads Make Farm Profits | Profitable farming is dependent upon good highway transportation. The better the roads the more profitable the farming. This is the conclusion reached by a sur- vey recently conducted by the agricultural experiment (Official City, “State and County Newspaper) station of Cornell university. Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER & LEVINGS (Incorporated) Formerly G. Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The County Farm Agency ‘The resignation of A. R.

It requires a leader to direct agricultural co- operation. Agent Miescn was of this character of lead- ership. Mr. Miesen was here four years last April and, by bringing in this additional $200,000 revenue as a result of his advice and leadership, he repaid Burleigh county many times over the salary he was paid. He benefited the county, in fact, a lifetime of the pay he received, instead of a few years. Sheep and wool were but two of the activities he went He encouraged hog raising, cattle and poultry, with results that were just into with benefit to the county. beginning to show. The big thing in his leadership was the foundation of clubs among the adult and juvenile population. Where there had been no juniors in 1926, there are now 40 clubs with more than 400 members and the Rotary club has seen fit to establish an annual achievement evening for them, such is the prestige they have attained. There are 14 Homemaker clubs among the farmwives, also with more than 400 members, all working to a higher stan- dard of life in the farm homes. There is a great moral and social gain for the county It means uplift and confers on rural life something in the nature of attractiveness that was not in all this. there before. That Mr. Miesen was a good county agent is proved by the fact that the Northern Pacific has picked him up. The railroads of the Northwest often take a bigger inter- est in its agricultural industry than do the counties. wit- ness of which is attested in the number of counties which have not taken on agents. Whenever one of these coun- ty farm advisers shows he has the keenness to accom- plish betterments in agriculture, it has been the policy of the various roads to hire him away, sometimes to larger opportunities for good. The roads need that type of men. It is business with them to have such workers in their territory to guide farming movements that will in- crease crops and livestock interests and thus prosper the traffic of the lines. Why shouldn't the counties have a greater interest in farm leadership? ‘The county commissioners will do Burleigh county no kindness by delaying choice of a successor to Mr. Miesen. ‘They should remember that he was a good man in the position and they should try to find another like him. Modern Mining’s Case The lure of gold brought thousands of pioneers across the plains in the early days to lay the foundation on which western civilization has been built. In many states, mining remains the greatest industry. But now the baser metals—copper, lead and zinc—rather thon gold and silver, are most important from the stand- peint of providing raw material and employment for American progress. Mining has not had an easy time of it. It is a hazard- ous industry. The labor and expense of years is liable to go for nothing. There is no way of telling exactly how much ore a given mine contains. And metal prices vary, due to conditions, such as foreign competition, outside the industry's control. Many of mining’s difficulties today are mainly legis- lative, as taxes. Mining must be treated equitably and The West owes that to an industry which has been vital to the progress of the past and that is indis- pensable to the nation’s future growth and development. fairly. Golf a Pacifist Game ‘It comes as considerable of a shock to learn that bosses in certain lumber camps of the Pacific northwest have taken to laying out golf courses among the stumps of the cut-over mountainsides where their gangs have been working. The resulting picture is easy to imagine; the heavy- fisted bull of the woods, arrayed in golf knickers, check- ered socks and a form-fitting sweater, waggles his golf club in a clearing that only recently rang to the sound of axes, and whacks the elusive ball over slopes where sweating lumber-jacks toiled to bring ancient trees down to the matted sod. It is all very surprising, and doubtless it is extremely At all events, it would seem to indicate that the horny-handed rough- necks of tradition are growing tamed at an unprecedent- significant, in one way or another. ed rate. A lumber-jack on a golf course! Well, times do change. But there are places where this bit of information cught to be received with loud cries of unbelief. Peddle it through the old, cut-over Michigan white pine country, some day, and see what response you get. Michigan knew the lumber-jack in the day when he was @ sign and @ portent for the timid; the day when he worked like a Trojan all winter long, rode the logs down foaming rivers in the springtime at high peril to his un- washed neck, clung to one shirt throughout his life and ‘wound up each annual drive with a two-fisted bender that jarred the whole lower peninsula of the state. | The Pacific northwest knew him in the same incar- a a More and better farm-to-market roads enable Ameri- can farmers to transport their products quickly and cheaply. In the state of New York it was disclosed that farmers living on paved roads drove their trucks 725 miles more a year, on the average, than those living on dirt roads. Further, while but one-half of farmers on dirt roads own trucks, two-thirds of the farmers served by paved roads have them. Several states are now conducting campaigns to pro- vide rural districts with all-weather roads. Thousands of miles of expensive main highways have been built which are of little benefit to the farmers until feeder and link roads are built connecting them with rural dis- tricts. The situation in the southwest of the Slope is a case in point. Such feeder roads would be of value to town and city 1 NEVER TAKE A VACATION! a away by impassable roads.

The Professional Reformer’s Monument A great barrier to crime prevention is the reformer. He continually asks for more laws, in spite of the fact that unenforceable and unnecessary legislation has be- come the great American joke. He cries, at one time, for stricter punishment for offenders, and at another of facts mean nothing to him. He is ruled by his emo- tion. that now burden the statute books. It is a historical fact that most of the great reform movements have turned upon themselves and become boomerangs. The movement which culminated in the New York anti-revolver law is an example. A few months ago the Brooklyn.grand jury petitioned for the law's re- peal! American prisons are overpopulated, yet many of the worst criminals remain at large, practically immune from punishment by virtue of legal technicalities that make justice impotent. The law-passing mania has been pro- ductive of the greatest period of lawlessness in our his- tory. Fewer fool laws and better enforcement; judicial pro- cedure that finds out the facts, instead of discussing irrelevant technicalities; more efficient, better paid and better equipped police departments; quicker, surer ar- rests and convictions of malefactors—in this direction lies crime prevention. _ Editorial Comment ‘During My Administration’ (Cleveland Plain Dealer) The versatility of Will Togers is well known. But his political career has apparently been too much over- looked. True, Will has garnered a vote or two for presi- dent along about the fortieth ballot of recent Democra- tic national conventions. However, this does not spoil Will's amateur status; at least not in national politics.

Teaching Old Dogs (Terre Haute Tribune) “You cannot teach an old dog new tricks,” runs an adage that has come down from antiquity. Nobody now knows who first expressed the sentiment, but Myron W. Stearns has no sympathy with it, Mr. Stearns, a former member of the University of California faculty, is a leader in the modern adult edu- cation movement, and declares that it is silly ~-.d danger- ous to- apply the old saying to the man or woman past 40 who has been deprived of opportunities of learning in earlier years. In fact, he asserts that the myth that a middle-aged person cannot acquire new knowledge or learn the routine of a new job is responsible for much unemployment and human hardship. There is no physical difficulty in learning after 40, and the same brain is not only in good working order, but should be even stronger and better able to assimilate new information than the immature, youthful brain. Mr. Stearns says that people past 50 learn as readily as young people in high school. In v~" "tv extcnston classes, also, he has found that those past middle age absorb new knowledge as rapidly as most college students. Purther, the evening classes in the high schools enroll thousands of men and women past the age of 40, as our educators will readily reveal. You can “teach an old dog new tricks” if the “dog” be represented by mankind. Why Not Be Decent to Japan? (Duluth Herald) ‘There is a movement on foot in congress to take Japan out of the list of nations whose immigrants are barred and to put it with the rest of the worl.! on a quota basis. Congress never did a stupider thing than it did when it went out of its way to insult a sensitive people by refusing to include Japan among the quota nations. That did not mean opening the doors to Japanese im- migration. At the outside, a quota on the same basis as the rest of the world would admit a couple of hundred Japanese @ year, which surely need not alarm anybody. But congress, largely at the urging of Pacific coast states, refused to take this decent way of controlling Japanese immigration. Instead, it insisted on insulting the whole Japanese people, branding them as inferior because of rece and color, by including them in the list of races against which the immigration bars are totally Prohibitive. Japan is a good friend, a good customer, and a willing Participant in all our aspirations to world peace. Neither she nor her people are inferior, and history records no more undeserved insult by one nation to another than that atrocious act of the American congress. The prospect for this redress is good. It is especially good since the Pacific coast states, which led in the vicious fight for exclusion, seem now to favor this move. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has indorsed it, and the Los Angeles Times cordially supports the Port- land action. This decent courtesy sliould be performed anyway.

MENTAL INHIBITIONS AND COMPLEXES Tn this age, when psychoanalysis, Psychology and behaviorism are al- most household words, many people have had their attention called to the fact that the conscious thinking occupies only a very small part of our mental processes. Most of our de- cisions, our likes and dislikes, and even our beliefs, are not the result of conscious reasoning, but the result of — Processes and impres- ms. Have you ever considered why it is that you may act quite differently when in the company of certain peo- ple? Most of us do react and feel dif- ferently under different stimulations. A man’s wife and children may never actually know him as he appears to his business associates or to his fel- low club members. Indeed, he may be actually unacquainted with his own character. Much of one’s true self may be hidden below the layer of his consciousness, and one of the principal aims in studying psychology is to make us better acquainted with our- selves so that we will have the many favorable qualities and the vast store of information of our subconscious mind available for use as the occa- stons demand. Even though one’s intellect may be well developed, it is rare that one acts from intellectual irfipulses. Almost all of our actions are governed by our emotions. The older systems of psy- chology laid great emphasis on study: ing the intellect, but the latest meth- ods investigate the sources of our emotions and why we react in some special way to an external stimulus. Several men may react to the same type of stimulus in different ways. For example, if one man is held up by a highwayman he will immediately submit and turn over his cash. The second man, even though he has very one method or the other is the best thing to use under the circumstances, but because certain emotions such as Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and diet addressed to him, care of The Tribune.

There is no doubt that many of the mental complexes are formed during childhood by wrong training and in- fluence, and the whole afterlife may be handicapped unless the viewpoint can be corrected. The complexes which are. so easily formed may be much more difficult to untangle. You should make every effort to get rid of them, just as you would a weed in your gar- den which was crowding out some choice flowers or fruits. Many people are thwarted in their efforts to attain the things they de- sire, but this should not be discourag- ing or an indication to quit. Some of the finest things in life are difficult to obtain, and the striving to obtain them is often more valuable than the actual attainment. It is a good plan for us to form good habits every day of our life, for then we will instinctively do the proper thing. If one is slovenly in appearance at home and careless with one’s speech one is also apt to do this in company when one desires to make @ good im- pression.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Cure Stomach Ulcers First These Ld ®, a Tine. ment, which he did not at once re- veal. At first she thought he had been drinking, but she had to give up that explanation. But his face was flushed, and his eyes shone with his secret stimulation. Phillipa was a trifle piqued, feel- ing he had no’right to keep ex- citing news from her. She began speculating. When she came to consideration of Natalie, a dark frown streaked itself across her brow, but she had to force herself to look pleasant. Alan's eyes were upon her, broodingly, searchingly; appraising her, it seemed to Phil- lipa, It made her nervous. “Oh, let’s dance,” she exclaimed pettishly. Silently Alan got up from the dinner table, and took her out upon the crowded floor. He had chosen the place. Phillipa would have pre- ferred one more intimate, but when she was uncertain of the ground before her, she made it a practise to step lightly; excepting when she lost her temper completely. Alan did not hold her tightly, and when she glanced up at him, trying to find the answer for his strangeness in his face, she found him gazing out beyond her, va- cantly, as though he looked into Great space. Back at their table, she smiled over at him. “Of course, you do dance divinely, Alan,” she said, “but even so, it's much better when you keep your mind on it. What is the matter with you tonight, anyway?” Here he squirmed a bit mentally. The thought that Phillipa loved him was always disconcerting to him. He wanted to love her, per- haps he would... well, in time. Only—and this was why he did not like to think of it—the whole thing bored him. Not completely —but in a way. He hoped to be thrilled at starting life again, in a sense, but he found himself sink- ing deeper and deeper into apathy instead. He decided to honor Phillipa with thg truth; to treat her with the honesty becoming their relations. If, deep in his heart, there was a small desire for escape back of his decision he did not acknowledge it to himself anymore than he would have let Phillipa know about it. “I've had some very exciting news, Phillipa,” he said suddenly. She drew in her breath and waited, but her eyes burned ex- pectantly, “I've had a letter from Natalie. She’s coming back.” Phillipa spoke. “From Natalie echoed in dismay. Alan instently became defensive. “To the house in Hillshire,” he explained. “But, Alan...” “I can’t help it. She has ea right to come back.” “She has nothing of the kind!” Phillipa was thoroughly indignant. “She left you, and she’s probably found out they don’t want her at home. Surely you aren't going to stand for anything like that!” “I can't keep her out of her home,” Alan protested. “Her home! Didn't you build ite” “Well, I built it for her and I'm not an Indian giver,” Alan an- swered sheepishly. His meekness nearly proved to be Phillipa’s un- doing. She misjudged him “She shan’t come back,” si furiously, “It’s an insult to me!” “Well, now, Phillipa,” Alan be gan placatingly. “If you had any respect for me, you wouldn't permit it,” she stormed on. course which they believed was in the | During the flight Levine occasionally direction of Berlin, the flyers brought | relieved Chamberlin but neither ob- the Columbia within a few hundred} tained more than a few moments’ feet of earth to pass a field where | sleep. farmhands were at work. laborers shouted to them, giving them the direction of Berlin.

Why shouldn’t Natalie have the house if she wants it? I know you wouldn't eare to live there. We can build another house...” “And a much finer one, too,” Phillipa put in foolishly. Alan paid no attention to her remark, fortu- nately for her. Had he weighed her attitude, their engagement, in all Mkelihood, would have been broken on the spot. He seemed, and this was no easy matter for Phillipa to accept, to be engrossed in Natalie's return, Was he glad of it? The thought, in its unpleasant potentialities, served to calm her a bit. “She asked me to see the agency that supplies hep with servants, and get a maid,” he rambled on. At least it seemed to Phillipa that he rambled, for it annoyed her to nave him talk of Natalie unnecessarily. But they were on the subject now, and she felt she ought to say some- thing that would help'te cover her bitterness, “Why not a cook?” she asked. “1 suppose she knows you aren't liv. ing in the house? Alan, she wouldn't expect you to, would she?” Suddenly her voice was vibrantly pleading. Alan had a feeling of helpless hands held up to him for aid. “Ne, no of course not,” he an- swered gruffly. “No doubt she thinks she can manage without a cook.” He reached out and picked up the menu eard.. “What would you like for dessert?” “Dessert?” Phillipa repeated in astonishment, “Why, we haven't had anything but hors d'oeuvres and soup!” “That's right,” Alan sald iodit- ferently. “What shall we have?” “Goose, you've already ordered squabs.” “Well, then, let’s dance.” Phillipa was about to say she'd mueh rather talk, but thought bet- ter of it. They danced without conversation, atd Phillips guessed that Alan was not even thinking of her. ; She kept telling herself she had nothing to fear. He asked to marry him. They were engaged. Nothing could change that. She could hold him, Alan was tee de- cent for anything else. Better let him alone. Naturally, it upset him to know that Natalie was coming back to occupy their former heme. She didn’t quite Ike the word “upset.” It didn’t adequately de- scribe his reaction to his wife's announced return. But she pre ferred not to substitute a word more fitting. Not even in her thoughts would she admit that Natalie had any held upon -Alan, that could eliminate her, Phillipa. LAN himself could not have analyzed for her what was in his mind. When he received Na- talie’s letter, he read it with sur- p:/se as his paramount emotion. Then he began, almost impercept- ibly and unconsciously, to be thrilled. It was a short letter, little more than a note, but perfect as Natalie was perfect. Beautifully written 2 5 said she was returning, and made a few ordinary requests concerning the house. She did not say she was coming back to him. Alan was puzzled over her complete omission of ref- erence to their estrangement..

What he did not know, to help him understand her attitude, was that Natalie’s mother had taken a hand in her daughter's marital fairs about the time the house had been closed. Natalie hadn’t known what to say about it at first. Her heart agreed with what her mother said. She knew she loved Alan. Being aw: from him had convinced her he was the greater part of life for her. Everything was flat and dull without him. There was always an ache in her heart, There were moments when lone- liness pressed in so hard upon her that she wanted to cry out for re- lief. The world, in her father's household, seemed to belong to her sister, Florence, and Florence's ubiquitous boy-friend, Andrew. Un- til Andrew went away to New York. Then Florence pestered her night and day to be taken there too, There was no time or place for yearning, except in the dark at night, or under cover of a deceiv- ingly collected exterior.

Mrs. Jayhunter looked at her daughter, and grew misty-eyed, A moment later she slipped into the pantry and wiped the budding tears away, certain that she had put al- together too much nutmeg in the last bowl of batter. “Mother, what is the matter?” Natalie was looking at her in alarm, Suddenly Mrs. Jayhunter put down the mizing spoon she had just taken up after her trip to the pantry, and faced her daugh- ter with a degree of finality in her mien that completely awed talie, “I want to have a talk with you,” she said firmly. “Well,” Natalie was hesitant about consenting. “It isn’t well,” her mother de clared stoutly. “Put that pan in the oven and turn the gas down.

Her motner saw that it did, but she had made up her mind to be ruthless in the necessary degree.
