NEW BOSTON i Another Milestone "The arrival of natural gas marks another milestone in the progress of North Dakota's greatest city. “Tt is a far cry from the Bismarck of 1872, when Joseph Dietrich and other pioneers erected the first log cabin here, to the city of today, modern in every detail. And the latest and most modern note is the addition of natural gas. % ‘The fuel itself is as old as time and one of nature's ‘own products. The method of transporting it is not particularly new, since pipelines have been common since the time of the Romans, but it does add another and an important item to Bismarck’s civic development. And it keeps Bismarck in step with the times. One of the outstanding public utility developments of the last two years is the extension of natural gas mains to serve new communities. East, West and South throughout the United States other communities have * wad the advantages of natural gas offered to them in the same way and through the same means by which it now is offered to Bismarck consumers. : To those industries which are in need of a fuel such as gas and to whom this territory offers a logica) field for expansion, the addition of natural gas to Bismarck’ assets offers another cogent reason why they should place such industries here. To such Bismarck .persons as take advantage of it, natural gas offers the utmost in a fuel of its type. There is no denying that it is a civic asset and that it will be more and more of an asset ‘as its usefulness becomes more clearly demonstrated and more widely known. ‘The manner in which the gas has been brought to Bismarck has been almost like a chapter from the Ara- bilan Nights. There was no hint of magic in it for those familiar with the process, but to the uninitiated the man- ner and speed with which the pipes were laid were remi- niscent of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp. ‘The financial benefits which have accrued to Bismarck as the result of this addition to its resources of fuel are ‘undoubted. Most of the money paid out to workmen em- _* ployed on the pipeline has been spent in Bismarck’s trade territory. Bismarck merchants have received some ad- vantages from it. £ ‘The money spent in reconstructing the city gas distri- : bution mains, in anticipation of the arrival of natural 4 gas, has totaled many thousands of dollars. This ex- ¢ penditure has done much toward giving Bismarck a record building year from the standpoint of public im- ‘ provements. Most of that money has been spent here. & One sees, also, in the arrival of natural gas in Bis- : marck, another reason: for renewed confidence in the | 3.7 future of this city and its trade territory. We who live : here always have had faith in it and that faith never > ‘was stronger than now. Enthusiasts for this region * recognize, however, that they may be prejudiced. And @o, when an organiaztion such as the Montana-Dakota Power company invests millions of dollars in an improve- ment, the value of which is based on the business stability of this area, it reaffirms our confidence. We did not need this affirmation té know beyond question that the future will deal kindly with Western North Dakota and the Missouri Slope district, but it is a pleasant thing to kmow that hard-headed business men from places far- femoved from Bismarck, agree with us. In its battle for business, natural gas must meet the competition of longer established fuels. This is as‘it should be, for the result is to create greater interest in the consumer; the average citizen whose dollars, con- tributed a few at a time, swell the receipts of the utilities companies. Regulation by law is not to be compared with regulation by competition. » : And so it is with a full realization of its possibilities “ that Bismarck welcomes the new fuel. In greeting the new it has not discarded its regard for the old. In mak- ing a new friend it need not lose an.old one. The town is benefited by giving its businessmen and home-owners & wider choice in heating material. Deadly Just the Same ‘Ta 8 recent news bulletin the Bureau of Industria! Re» search, with headquarters in New York City, sent out a 4 notice which answers, in part, the old question of “what's 2 in 8 name?” . If one is looking for a cryptic answer to the stock question, the answer is “quite a bit,” especially if one is speaking of wood alcohol. ‘Wood alcohol has been outlawed from industrial use since 1906 because of the danger to workers handling and breathing it. It is a poison and is almost as injurious when drawn into the lungs in sufficient quantity as when drunk as a liquid. : But recently, under the name of “methanol,” which is ecientifically correct but sounds innocuous, some 15,000,- es 000 gallons of the product have been marketed and it now is being used in some of the same industries which caused its banishment 24 years ago. Chief among these are the hat and paint industries. ~The law which relegated wood alcohol to the indus- trial limbo from which it has now emerged was one per- maitting the use of tax-free denatured alcohol. When thé new alcohol became available, manufacturers dis- continued use of the old. ‘And not all of the wood alcohol is finding its way into ‘the channels of industry. New York recently had: an epidemic of deaths from alcohol poisoning among those Betse. The result was 37 persons in the morgue. ‘The answer to why wood alcoho! should reappear now fm large quantities is not hard to find when one looks ter %.° Zt is the fact that a sort of synthetic wood alco- parinen Naleaen'S ern same results, with regard to blinding and paralyzing ‘Gaose who come in contact with it, and is even harder to (@eal with because it is colorless and odorless and hence Ateelf readily to use in illicit beverages.

Homely Virtues Best Messrs. Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte fly nonchalantly from Paris to New York in the first air- plane ever to succeed in the attempt, and now plan to complete a trip to Dallas, Texas, to collect a $25,000 prize offered by Col. William Easterwood, Dallas millionaire, for the first one-stop flight from Paris to the Texas city. x The records show nearly a score of persons have per- ished in an effort to fly westward across, the Atlantic. They have disappeared, for the most part, without trace. In one case a radio distress cal) was heard and would- be rescuers hurried to the scene. All they found was the eternally restless roll of the ocean's water and a deep which gave up no secrets. In view of this fact, therefore, the achievement of the French airmen was noteworthy. It required courage and careful preparation. The reward which they will receive is noné too large in view of the risks taken. And yet, one wonders about the value of it all. En- durance flights and tests of various kinds have proved the reliability of tire airplane under certain canditions. The Atlantic ocean has been crossed before in each di- rection. Costa and Bellonte will find the trip profitable. Twenty-five thousand dollars is a lot of money in North Dakota or anywhere else in the United States. It is more than a lot in France to which Messrs, Coste and Bellonte will return to receive the honors which that mercuric nation heaps upon its heroes. ‘ But what about the rank and file of common folk who work hard for a living? Aren’t they about fed-up on these quick and easy ways of gaining fame and fortune? ‘We respect the French airmen, of course, and they are welcome, but our respect is greater and our welcome is warmer for the ordinary citizen who plugs along, in good times and bad, looking out for his family and per- now is @ by-product from several industries.

Baseball Is Still Flourishing Every year or so some calamity howler arises to re- mark that dig league baseball is dead, or at least dying. And very year, regular as clockwork, something. comes up tO prove that there is a-great-deat‘of life in the old game yet. Rey The latest bit of evidence in rebuttal of thé calamity howler is contained in the recent attendance figures at Wrigley Field, Chicago. When the Cubs finished their series with the Dodgers and the Giants they had set a new attendance record for baseball. The good old days | at their liveliest could not match the’ enormous-outpour- ing of fans that visited Wrigley Field this summer. * Baseball, obviously, is a long way from death or the. danger of death. As long as it can continue ta Produce thrills and hot competition it will fenigjn what’ b has been called—the great American game. In Search ‘of the Griffon One of the most interesting expeditions of the year should be the one recently authorized by the govern- ment of Ontario, which is going to scan the bottom of Mississagi straits, off Manitoulin Island, in Lake Huron, for the wreckage of La Salle’s old ship, the Griffon. La Salle built the Griffon in 1679, while he was trying to open a way to the Mississippi river. He used it on the Great Lakes—it was the“first ship other than a canoe to ply those waters—and it disappeared in a storm while en route from Mackinac to the foot of Lake Erie. Now it is believed that a certain submerged wreck near Manitoulin Island is the wreck of the Griffon. One cannot help hoping that this proves true, and that the wreck can be raised. “It would prové one of the new ‘world’s most interesting historical relics. Another police chief is in trouble at Minot. Maybe the commoner forms of entertainment haven't been so in- teresting in the Magic City lately and the mayor thought he should liven things up a bit. 3 Now that the sheriffs and police have devised ways of stopping their further activities, North Dakota's bank robbers have taken stock of the situation and gone back to work again. | Editorial Comment | ‘Eat More Bread’ Clubs (Mott Pioneer Press) Civic leaders of the Twin Cities have started an “Eat More Bread” campaign. The idea is that increased con- sumption cf bread and wheat flour will materially help to remove the wheat surplus of the United States and thus be of direct benefit to farmers. It was pointed out in this bultetin a few weeks ago that the increase of our wheet consumption back to the pre-war basis would take care of the wheat production of the present. Wheat flour consumption in the United States has fallen off about 25% .since the war and our wheat exports now are about 25% of our production, Dieting fads are or jad responsible for decreased use of wheat flour, it is sai A Scandal in New York (Jamestown Sun) The attorney general of the state of New York, look- ing into political affairs in New York City, seems to be on the verge of uncovering enough facts to provide the country’s newspapers with some highly sensationally reading.

In 1842, Whitman left the station to visit President Taylor, Secretary Webster and others on a politics mission. It was he, historians say, who prevented the cession to England of the American claim to Oregon and prevented Oregon from being traded for a codfishery on Newfoundland.

Be LEDER MIGRAINE HEADACHE © The migraine headache, which oc- curs at regular intervals, is probably the most common of all headaches. Some of the popular es for it are: Sick headache, blind headache, bilious headache and migraine headache. The patient can usually tell when & sick headache is coming on. The face is pale, the patient chilly, de- pressed; and there is some disturb- ance of the vision so that it is blurred, or else flashes of light race over the field of vision. Dizziness and nausea are common. As the headache begins, the face flushes on the side of the head that is affected, and perspira- tion may break out, either general in nature, or on one side only. The most distressing feature of the headache is a painful ache which is usually one-sided. It begins in a small spot often over one eye, the pain at first being dull and later of sharp boring character. . It spreads over the forehead, and on the side of the head. The pain is so acute that the patient.feels that he can hardly stand it. Any sudden light or noise makes the pain more intense. The pain usually reaches its height about noon, and has subsided by night. The patient commonly feels quite well between the attacks. Any ex- citement, tense nervous condition, constipation, indigestion, loss of sleep, or, continued mental concentration, will make the attacks worse. e commonly occurs with women more often than with men, al- though it frequently occurs among men who do much mental work or study. Inasmuch as migraine is a form of headache which makes habitual visits on certain definite times, there is much reason to believe that it may be brought on by certain expectant states of mind. Migraine headaches are often con- prisoners. The captives were after- wards released. At the time he was killed, Whit- man was but 45 years old.
