His explanation was that he had been lucky in his progress from a messenger boy to president. ‘The others, he said, had not been favored by chance 60 much as himself. It was a rather startling statement from one eligible to a place in a “successful men” maga- zine but it smacks of truth, nevertheless.

If you ever wonder why Europeans tend to look upon Americans as a strange and incomprehensible people, you might give a little dttention to the recent cable dis- patches concerning Mr. Jack (Legs) Diamond. Legs Diamond is a New York racketeer, rapidly gain- ing a Manhattan reputation as a sort of small-scale Al Capone: Not long ago, thirsting for the broadening ef- fects of travel, he sailed for Europe. His liner got to England and the British authorities, forwarned as to his antecedents, refused to let him in. Thereupon he went to Belgium. The Belgian police met him at the dock, trotted to the German frontier and turned him loose—possibly as a belated reprisal for the indignity of 1914. In no time at all the Germans arrested him. Having been tipped off that he was a director of various crim- inal enterprises and a highly dangerous man, they im- mediately wired New York and announced that they were holding him; would New York please send and get him? The surprise came when New York replied that it didn’t want him. In a broad sense, of course, that was understandable; but New York meant that it had no criminal charges ready to place against him, had no cell yawning for him and, on the whole, had no reason to deprive him of his liberty. This was the sort of thing that the Europeans found themselves unable to assimilate. Here was a notorious “bad man” on the looge.

Payne YORE THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1980 If They Thought the Atlantic Was Tough—! | SAVING THE EYESIGHT ' Those who are trying to build up strength must avoid eyestrain. The eyes use up more nervous energy than any other organ in the body, and for this reason eyestrain wastes vi- tality quickly. Such disorders as stomach trouble, headache and nervousness are but a few of the ways in which your eyes affect your whole system if they con- tinually drain your energy. Eyestrain and fatigue go hand in hand. When your eyes tire easily, smart, blur, or the lids feel weighted down, nature is giving you a friendly signal that your eyes are abused and need a rest. - J Other symptoms of eyestrain are: severe aches over and in back of eye- balls, sometimes a dull ache in the back of the head or neck. The lids may become tender and edges red and feel as though particles were under the lid, the eyes become oversensitive to bright lights, and pain at the énd of the day. Many people become so used to having tired eyes that they squint without knowing it and do not realize that their eyes need help. It has been estimated that 90 per cent of the people suffer from eye trouble at some time in their lives. It :s impus- sible for one suffering from eye trouble to see in @ normal, relaxed way, and although many people are able to struggle along by straining their eyes, the final result is injury to him short shrift, and the Germans thoughtfully and tactfully arrested him so that his home town could deal with him as he deserved; and then the home town an- nounced that it wasn’t interested! It had him down in its list as a racketeer, but it couldn’t do anything about it. As far as New York was concerned he was free as the air, and he could come home any time he wanted to. It is hardly surprising if Evfrope finds this a bit thick. In Europe they have different ways of dealing with crooks and highbinders. They do not give them the freedom of the city until such time as they obligingly commit murders under the eyes of the mayor. Politi- clans do not befriend them. The law and the courts do not throw out protecting technicalities to shelter them. The criminal is harried and hounded—and, as a result, does not thrive. Editorial Comment They’re All Doing It! (Dunn County Journal) Occasionally there happens to be a man who is sincerely for the cooperative of which he is a member, but in this section of the state it is apparent that some of the Farmer Union members do not care particularly for the Farmers Union only so far as it may benefit them Personally, and will deal with outSiders to get a possible advantage at the present time, not figuring on what the final result will be when the Union has become unable to sustain its program through their carelessness. We refer, in this instance, to farmers who will listen to buyers of livestock from men who are not members of the Union, byt who represent that they are buying for the-Urfion. Asa matter of fact some of them do ship the stock to the association, but—stock sold to them, or shipped by them to the Farmers Union Livestock associa- tion, is unprotected by any sinking fund to jake care of any loss that may be sustained by the rr.

In many Ynes consumption has been exceeding production and what- ever surpluses existed at the beginning have been ex- hhausted. The stock market, which pointed the way down, is looking upward. This means that men with - money expect stocks to increase in value rather tian to go lower. Stocks cannot increase in value on @ gen- eral scale unless there is renewed business activity.

His observation, he said, was that persons who were socially, economically and morally unfit frequently were more successful than others of equal intelligence and in- dustry and with economic, social and moral virtues besides. ‘The statement made so much of an impression that the mews associations made a feature story of it and cir- culated it about the country. Apparently it was in the | * same category with the famous story of the man biting. the dog and thereby getting into the headlines. _ But was there anything so startling in the statement, } after all? If there is, we cannot see it. The only oddity sbout the remark was that it was made by a social ‘worker, who is called on constantly to deal with the poor and unfortunate. Quite probably such persons, in their efforts to inspire the downtrodden with new zeal, may forget the part which chance plays in fortune or mis- fortune. But the rest of us probably never overlook the fact. The only exceptions to that rule, apparently, are those men who have been exceedingly fortunate and have ac- quired large fortunes. With power in their hands, the great and the near great frequently are subjected to sycophantic adulation and the result sometimes is to create in their own minds the idea that they, and they Newspaper Inaccuracy (Hazelton Independent) Folks often wonder why a newspaper sometimes gets the facts of a story twisted, and they cuss the editor for not getting things just exactly straight. Our experience is that the reason is often because folks do not give the facts to the editomstraight. Here are two instances of twisting the facts in Hazelton a few items: Some years ago, in the days of the old Emmons County Republican, a number of geese were stolen. Before the editor had heard of the incident, a fellow came rushing in and in excited tones told us that he had found a bunch of geese corralled in his basement, and he couldn't ima- gine who had shoved all those geese down through his basement window. He had immediately turned them out to find their home. The editor upon found the geese had been stolen during the night, and the owner was glad to have found them so easily. As a matter of fact, the boys had “been out” that night, it was learned a few years later, and had themselves stolen the geese and shoved them down into the basemerit, but next morning this fellow, began to think things aver. He knew it might go hard with him and the rest of the “boys” if they were discovered, so he invented the yarn and told it to the editor. r wonders how they NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XI EY HARLEY smiled. She said she wondered herself. “No one,” she said, “can answer that question, I’m afraid. I’ve done different things; worked in depart- ment stores, clerking in busy sea- sons, and modeling. . . .

Rorimer, she thought, would be surprieed to learn how cheaply a girl could live when she had to. “Mona and I were paying only $30 a@ month for our apartment—for the two of us. We didn’t like it, of course, and we were glad to get out; bat it was cheap. And there Cate Collins was rehe up when you beat it out of a res- ‘taurant without paying your meal check; That's something they found out when they were extras.

I know Anne would like to see you.” “Thanks; I will.” He felt like telling her that, since Anne had fire. One man who lived ten miles out in the country was the first one at the fire.

Farming as a business operation has never paid high returns on the investment; much of the wealth of western farmers was the result of in- Greased land values. When land values were destroyed through drastic deflation, farming automatically be- came a low-profit occupation in which only the highly efficient, producers could survive. This situation will cin- tinue until land values are once again stabilized at some point, however, low that point may be.
