(Official City State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER & LEVINGS ye gan Payne Co. cmcaco NEW YORK BOSTON COTE hn ee nn OOO eed Why Go to School? ‘This is the season when the question arises in many families as to whether one or more children shall con- tinue in school. Regardless of what the answer may be in any particular case, it is to be hoped that most fam- flies will see their way clear to giving their children as much education as it is possible to get. Many factors will affect the decision but few will be 80 powerful as the financial ability of the family to keep the children in school, the aptitude of the child for schooling and his desire or lack of it and the views which the parents may hold regarding the value of education. It is to be hoped that every child who desires to do so ean continue with his school work. Few tragedies are more real than those of children who want to fit them- selves for better things in life and who are denied the opportunity. ‘The public school system in the United States probably 4s the best in the world. The investment in this nation in education is larger than the investment in any single industry, with the exception of farming. ‘The facilities are available if the individual can avail himself of them. ‘When the question of the value of schooling is raised, one often hears the comment that Thomas A. Edison, Charles M, Schwab and numerous other leaders in science, industry and commerce made their way to the front without the aid of education; that ‘Lincoln was un- educated and that the merits of education are over-em- phasized. Add to this the designation of some individual in the community who has received tlie benefits of edu- cation and whom everyone regards as a fool and it would seem that the “anti-educationists” have made a pretty fair case. But have they? Let us 100k at it from another angle, and one based on cold statistical studies rather than on opinions and isolated cases. The boy who quits school at the age of 14 years makes on an average of $200 while his fellows continue their school work; at 16 he gets an average of $250 yearly. When he is 18, he faces the competition of boys of the same age who have been going to school. And what happens is this: The boy who left school at 14 makes $350 while the boy who continued school until he was 18 makes $500. The first lad has been working for four years. For the second it is his first year ‘out. At 20 years of age the unschooled lad is getting $475 a year and the schooled youth $750; at 24, the comparison is $575 to $1,000 and at 25 the comparison is $668 to $1550.00. ‘When the two youths reach that age the first has been working 11 years and has made a total of $5,112.50. ‘The second has been working seven years and has made $7,337.50. And from that point, the disparity in income grows greater as the years roll on. ‘And the educated lad has a greater chance of becoming “poss” in his particular line. Gentlemen with sharp pencils estimate that the unschooled boy has one chance in 150,000 of attaining distinction; the boy with an ele- mentary education has four times that chance; the one with a high-school education has 87 times that chance Hunting Restricted No real North Dakota sportsman will oppose the re- | strictions which have been placed on hunting this year | by executive proclamation. Unfavorable conditions and close shooting have reduced the number of prairie chickens and grouse in the state until only a few of the vast number which once existed here remain. R Improvements in methods of transportation, so thu ‘ny hunter may reach his chosen shooting ground in a few hours by automobile and the introduction of auto- matic shotguns and other improved weapons, have not been matched by improved conditions for the propaga- tion of the birds. The result is that the prairie chicken | has been playing a losing game and, unless protected by law, soon would vanish from this region. If this were permitted to come about it would be a; criminal waste of one of the state’s natural resources and an injustice to the future generations who, it must be hoped, will have as much appreciation of the beau- ties of the wild as we have today, and perhaps a Uitte} more. An encouraging thing for the real sportsman who likes to shoot is the fact that pheasants which have been planted throughout the state are said to be multiplying rapidly. The game and fish deparment will make a study soon to determine if a limited open season on these birds is justified in some of the counties along the South Da-! kota border. ‘The pheasant is a fine game bird but it is no substitute for the native prairie chicken, which might easily be destroyed by another season or two of unrestricted shoot- ing. Despite the present restriction there may be some Poaching, of course, but it will be to the benefit of every law-abiding sportsman if the game and fish department. makes a strong effort to catch as many of these “poor sportsmen” as possible. And if they are caught and brought before a court of justice they deserve no sym- pathy, Wages by the Year b There is a great deal ae sound common sense in the suggestion of William Green, president of the American | Federation of Labor, that wage-earners in American in- dustry be paid by the year instead of by the day. To be sure, to put Mr. Green’s plan into effect would call for some drastic, almost revolutionary, changes in industrial relations. But the result might well be worth the trouble. ‘The annual wage system he proposes would go far to eliminate season unemployment, and would probably have an even better effect by compelling manufacturers to spread their work evenly over the entire year rather than going at top speed for five months and idling at half-capacity for the remainder of the year. It is very Probable that in the next few years we shall be hearing @ great deal more of this plan. The Cunning of Gandhi It is rapidly becoming evident that Mahatma Gandhi is a leader of considerable skill. His latest proposal, made from his prison cell, puts Ramsay MacDonald and his government in a rather embarrassing position. Gandhi offers to call off his passive resistance, non- co-operative movement if the British will release all po- litical prisoners and will pledge themselves to work for dominion status at the coming round table discussion of Indian affairs. Since British officials have already vaguely promised dominion status for India, this ultimatum has a mild, sweetly reasonable sound; yet by acceding to it Premier MacDonald might well cause his government to fall. It would stir the British Tories as nothing else would. Whichever way he goes, MacDonald is in a hole—and Gandhi undoubtedly knows it. Prudent persons in large cities where bootleg Aladdins rear palaces by means of alcohol lamps may decide to do business only with people who keep books in their heads instead of lcaving records in safe deposit vaults. | Editoria] Comment i} Economic Effect of Advertising (Flasher Tribune) It would be a difficult thing to find a business author- ity in these times that would not say that advertising is one of the very essential features in business. It per- forms a certain service that needs to be performed for successful operation, and if that service is lacking, busi- ness suffers. . When you advertise a business In some medium having a circulation among the people you desire to reach, you and the one with a college education has 800 times the chance. Startling figures these, but figures which every resident of the Missouri Slope country should consider when the question of his children’s schooling is raised. They’ll Cut Both Ways National air shows like the one held at Chicago pro- vide material for both the optimist and the pessimist. ‘They lift up the optimist by demonstrating how man- kind has conquered the air and by indicating a new method of escape, a new form of recreation more thrill- ing and uplifting than anything ever developed before. At the same time they put another crease in the pessi- mist’s brow by reminding him that these marvelous machines are, after all, largely designed for purposes of destruction. Those army planes that swoop along in such inspiring style—given the proper conditions they could be apparitions more dreadful than the pale horse- man that St. John saw from Patmos. So it is that an air show of this-kind gives you mixed emotions. You can see in it the incarhation of a race set free, or you can see in it a glittering new weapon with which humanity one day will blow its brains out. two-edged tools is the outstanding characteristic of the rest of our inventions, can cut both ways. Indeed, it often seems as if that knack of inventing two-edged tools is the outsanding characteristic of the present age. . ‘We devise marvelous machines, only to find out that we aave, thereby, given ourselves responsibilities. These in- trleate devices of ours may yet make it possible for us to ift ourselves by cur own bootstraps; similarly, they may oring us to the point where we shall proceed to exterm- nate ourselves, calling back the Dark Ages for all the arth with all the unsuspecting innocence of an infant laying with a fulminate of mercury torpedo. f All of which, perhaps is just a sign that we are a little ait more clever than is altogether good for us. One side of mankind's brain has developed amazingly. People can ‘ly through the air, send their voices around the world ind enlist mechanical slaves to do their drudgery; but one is permitted to wonder just how much good this is ul going to do us if we do not have the intelligence to use shese new devices properly. At any rate, the combination of things ought to make he current era exciting. For better or for worse, we are soing somewhere at a'rapid clip. It may be that we are weaded for an order of society, a way of life, more mag- iificent, free and inspiring than anything that was ever dreamed of before; on the other hand, we may be about © engage in self-destruction on a stupendous scale. ‘That is the cross-roads to which this age of inventions § bringing us. We are traveling fast. It depends on mar collective common sense whether we shall go up or own. attract public attention to the merchandise provided by that business. The result is to draw people to see those goods, and to increase sales. A well advertised store ought to sell twice as many goods as one that is not advertised. This doubling of the volume of a business, or what- ever increase is secured, works for efficient and economical distribution. When the sales of a business are thus doubled, the expense of doing that business should not rise in anything like the same -proportion. You may be able to double the volume of your trade, while your expenses may not have increased by 25 or 50 per cent. Hence your expense per article sold is reduced by the advertising. You can sell goods cheaper to the public. Your ability to do this draws still more people to the store. So a well advertised business not r--rely sells cheaper and makes more money, but it is in a position to enlarge and go on to become a much bigger concern, the profits of which will far exceed those it gained before it started to bring its goods to the attention of the public. Thus all parties profit by advertising. The public gains information it desires to have, the concern increases its trade and its profits. Those Beach Pajamas (Emmons County Independent) Ever see the young ladies—and some not so young— parading around the streets in those “beach pajamas” that were recently, more or less, invented by some un- known but evidently over ambitious potentate? Well, sir, we don’t mind seeing a woman or girl around in overalls, if they have a man’s work to do, nor do we take any special distike to seeing members of the fair sex attired in knickers and shirt while out on a hike, an auto trip or such like; but when we see a woman or girl appear on the streets or in other public places cled in gay flowered beach pajamas, we simply see red—makes us so mad we simply it to walk up, take them by the ruff of the neck and shake them into shoestrings. To our way of thinking, females thus clad look more like a Chinese. laundryman just getting over the effects of “hitting the pipe’—only a Chinaman would slink along through an alley trying to keep from the sight of human eyes; while those who appear in beach pajamas trip along out in front of the crowd, swaying their lithe bodies in all kinds of serpentine contortions, seemingly to at- tract all the attention possible. and appear to try and give you the impression that they belong to the “upper crust” and .that you. may- feast your eyes upon the exquisite beauty of the land; but—‘“keep your distance, please, for I am the incarnation of all the delicate, soul- inspiring beauty created by the fairies of old.” They tell us that pajamas, worn as night garments, are very comfortable as sleeping apparel for man, woman or child—and maybe they are. We have never worn them for any purpose—and if we keep our mind and stay poor enough, we don't believe we ever will. Be that as it may, we have no objection to pajamas, worn as an added com- fort, to aid in the prevention of insomnia, or lure the good graces of Morpheus; but when the female of the species puts them on as an afternoon gown, a traveling costume, or for general street wear—well, we don’t think it’s at all nice, nor becoming, nor alluring. So as we erstwhile remarked, it makes us mad! What are we going to.do about it? Nothing. Let ‘em wear ‘em if it suits their fancy. Maybe most folks like the idea. Just because we don't, makes no par- ticular difference. But we have spoken our thoughts, anyhow. ‘ | ! | I Today Is the | Anniversary of BIRTH OF HOLMES On Aug. 30, 1809, Oliver Wendell Holmes, famous American author and poet, was born at Cambridge, Mass.

E EXERCISES FOR FLAT FEET Flat feet are often formed be- cause the muscles of the feet and calf are not strong enough to give rea ee to the ligaments which bind the bones of the feet in the shape of an arch. This is a very common disorder and one which may cause many pains and aches in the lower back and legs. One of the sources of fallen arches is the habit of “toeing out” while walking. This method will in time weaken the strongest foot, since it throws the weight of the body on the inside of the foot when it should be carried on the outside. By plac- ing the weight in the wrong place with every step the arch soon be- comes flattened. On the other hand, “toeing in” throws the weight on the outside of the foot where it belongs, and results in the free play of all of the foot muscles. It is often impossible to cure a case of sciatica or rheumatism of the legs until the patient learns to walk correctly. The flat foot appears to be pressed down in the middle, making the center of the foot the widest part and the arch is not rounded but flat- tened out so that the whole foot Presses down against the floor. A print of the normal foot shows the heel and ball with only a thin con- necting line at the outer edge. Before flat feet can develop there is always a long period where the feet are weakened, not ohly the foot muscles but the leg muscles. Men do not suffer from arch troubles so much as women because they usuelly keep their leg muscles stronger. Accidents may push the bones of the foot out of place and induce In young children the flat foot develops from being ove?- weight in some cases, while in others malnutrition from not obtaining ner,” and among his most popular Poems are “Old Ironsides,” “The Chambered Nautilus” and “The Won- | Gerful One Hoss Shay.” i Dr euTnor EZ TO YOUR ALTH FRANK, NECOY “THe or FAST WAY TO HEALTH? Diet enough mineral elements may be the cause. In any case where there is much strain on the feet from continued standing as may occur in such work as dentistry, selling in stores, wait- ing on table, wail 9 nursing, etc., there is an aggravation of arch dis- comfort. To correct fallen feet try “toein, in,” hiking over rough ground, an rising on the toes 20 times twice daily. A very good exercise is to practice “toeing in” every other block when you are walking. An- other good exercise is to stand bare- foot and try to pick up marbles with the toes, or-stand on a thick book and grasp the edges with the toes. See that your shoes do not bind you. Arch supports may help tem- porarily, but they are crutches and you must rely upon exercising tc repair the foot permanently. The exercises, if persisted in, will grad- ually bring back the muscular power of the important muscles and in- crease the circulation in the foot sc that your arches may then return to their normal shape. You can then discard any arch support and your feet will feel strong, as nature in- tended. When correcting flat feet it is always a good plan to wear some kind of specially made shoes which fit the foot properly. There are many stores selling special ortho- pedic shoes which are made in such @ manner as to encourage the wear- er in using the muscles of the feet. A competent chiropodist will be able to advise you about the best arch supports or shoes to use while you are also strengthening your feet the exercises I have ‘ ’ } i i 2 oming to Holly wor atage experience— which, Dan tells e Roosevelt Hotel NOW G@ ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER III T was wonderful to dance with someone who followed you as effortlessly and lightly as a flower inclining In the wind; who re- sponded to your every mood as though the two of you had béen born to dance together. Dan Rorimer told himself before they had gone once around the crowded floor that it was for girls like Anne Winter that the modern rhythms bad been invented. “Happy days are here again—" He had spoken truly; it did get into his blood. He suspected it was {n hers too. Music like this did things to you, if you were young and found youth something to enjoy; it awak- ened slumbering fires within you. brought you to quick, pulsating life. She was just a trifle over average height—not more than an inch at most, Rorimer thought, but it counted a lot. He was tall—six feet in his shoes—and he didn't like to hold bis arms too low when he danced. It somehow pleased him that sev- eral of the musicians were watch ing them. Swinging past the or- chestra stage at the far end of the toom, he noted how their eyes fol- lowed; and when the leader, catch- ing bis own glance, smiled, Dan mailed back. It enhanced even bis own estimate of bis partner to know that éthers approved. too. Two pianos now took up the re frain alone while the other players rested and beat time with their feet.

Let us sing @ song of cheer again— Happy days are here again—" Anne smiled happily, blended her low, smooth voice with his: “Altogether shout it now! There's no one who can doubt it now, So let's tel the world about tt now— Happy days are here again!” eee He wanted to ) De stopped, voice, scarcely listen. Her alive, did things to him.

Fast rhythm; happy, carefree rhythm. Semeone bear them said, “Whee!” A score of voices sang the chorus, and cheers tore the air when the song was ended. “And that’s that,” said Rorimer. walking off the floor with her. “You've been holding out on me. Why didn't you tell me you sang?” Anne laughed. “If you call that singing—" “I'm discovering something new about you every minute. Did you sing on the stage any?” “No,” Their waiter arrived before Rorl- mer could ask her why. Anne said, “I'd like something with plenty of {co in it.” Dan ordered a salad of avocado and artichoke for her, and an iced drink. She began to question him about his plans. “You gave me the im- Pression,” ehe said, “that you weren't exactly satisfied with things at Continental Pictures. 1 call it rather wonderful—there are mil- lions, you know, who'd give any- thing to do what you're doing; and such a very few who can.” Rorimer said, “Perhaps I'm dis- satisfied with myself. 1 told myself before 1 came out here that [ wouldn't criticize their methods. “But... .” He stopped. Not so good. Mustn’t complain; she'd think him too temperamental and finicky. “But what?” she prodded. Dan smiled sheepishly and lit a ecigaret. “You know Frederick At- wood, of course.” < She nodded. ts.” “Well, can you imagine him play- {ng the part of a hard-boiled police | reporter?” | “I think there are lots of others who could do it better.” “On the screen, that tempt for himself, that he bad “You put it too mildly; anybody ood by NEA SERVICE /ne: could do it better. . . .

They wouldn't give the part to him unless it wi good one. ‘Probably he wouldn't do it. You ought to find some comfort in that.” “Perhaps. 1 don’t pretend to know the first thing about the movie business—but Atwood, the handsome lover... .” He broke off again, said that Continental did some funny things anyway, and the motion picture business should not be judged by one studio alone. What, be asked, were her own plans? Anne Winter's hands moved ex- Dressively. “Just keep trying, 1 suppose,” she smiled, and Rorimer felt swift compunction. “and I'm kicking,” be said, “just as if all of Hollywood ought to be run to suit me. Do you keep in touch with Central Casting Bu- reau?” “1 telephone religiously every day.” “Well, you'll get your chance; and when you do there won't be any stopping you.” She smiled at his enthusiasm. “1 don’t even know how I photograph. The day 1 worked I was used in a cafe scene and I was about a block away from the camera.” Rorimer laughed. “That's the way it goes. But you mustn't feel discouraged. When a girl comes out here all alone and lands even one day of work in her first 10 days or so, she’s doing a great deal bet- ter than most. Do you know how many extras are registered at Cen- tral Casting?” She shook her head, “Nearly 18,000—and they receive anywhere from 75 to 100 applica- tions every day. Mind you, that many applications merely to be registered! Lord only knows how many they turn down and how | many actually are looking for jobs: Paul Collier—he'’s a newspaper friend of mine—Collier tells me Slor h ERNEST LYNN “A toast to Anne Winter. May all Hollywood fall at her feet.” there’s an actual need for about 840 extras a day. One of the off- cials told him that in 1929 there was just one woman in all of those thousands who averaged five days of work a week. I haven't got a very good head for arithmetic, but Collier was telling me this just yesterday and it stuck by me. Ac: cording to some statistics issued by Central Casting, the average wage paid to an extra is $9.13 a day. Collier spread it out over the number registered and the average daily employment and figured that it woutd be something like 44 cents a day for each of them.” Rorimer stopped abruptly, realiz- ing that his recital was not very heartening to one who had hoped to win her way into pictures by the extra route. “I’m not meaning to discourage you,” he said lamely. “You're not.” she said, smiling a little crookedly. “One of the off- cials explained that it was his duty to acquaint me with some of the disappointments 1 would be sure to encounter. He made it very clear why they felt it was neces sary for me to have enough money to last me for a year.” Dan said, “Well, you're the kind that’s bound to get ahead anywhere. I wouldnt’ have gone mathematical on you if I hadn't thought that. It you can get @ screen test, now. . I wish I could cultivate the ac- quaintance of somebody important and get him to give you one.” Anne told him she Had rather he wouldn't. “But why not?” he asked. “Not that I could promise anything, but Td like to.” “Because,” she said softly, “I'a Mke to be able to tell my father that I had done it all myself.” Rorimer said he understood. He held up his water glass, and his eyes sought hers, “The music calls again,” he said. “Do we dance?” “We certainly do.” “Spoken like a true friend! But first a toast; a toast to Anne Win- ter. May she succeed beyond our wildest dreams; may all Hollywood fal: at her feet.” He leaned a little nearer, smil- ing into her dark eyes. “And,” be said, “may she never forget good old Dan Rorimer. . . . Come on, let's dance.” (To Be Continued) through doin; th suggested in this article.
