Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Businessmen Together ‘When members of the Rotary club and Burleigh county farmers join Tuesday night in a dinner and program at the new World War Memorial building, it wilt be meeting of the businessmen of the city and the business- men of the country on a common footing. For the successful farmer is just as much a business- man as his city brother who sells merchandise or serv- ices. The only real differences are in the place and kind of business done. ‘The proof of this may be‘found by analysis of the farm- ers situation. If investment makes a businessman, the farmer qualifies without difficulty. A section of land, valued at only $20 an acre, is worth $13,800. Add to that buildings, stock and equipment to the value of $10,000 and you have a total of $23,800 involved in one farmer's, business operations. Any city businessman will tell you that is a considerable investment. If training makes the businessman, the successful) farmer is included in the classification without a doubt. ‘The farmer has to know as much as the city mar if he is to succeed, In these days of low farm prices and the Gifficulties to which agriculture generally is subject, he must know even more if he is to make a comparable showing. Does the city businessman look in advance of the moment to sense trends and business conditions, 50 must the farmer. In fact, the farmer must make his guess much farther in advance than the average city businessman is required to do. ‘No one doubts the importance of the farmer to the ‘well-being of the nation and it is, of course, necessary to have some easy means of designating the men en- gaged in farm enterprises from those other men who live in cities. It is too difficult to say “city businessman” and “rural businessmen” and so we call them “busi- nessmen and farmers.” ‘There are some who use these terms in such tone and manner as to imply a superiority of the city business- man over the rural businessman. Such superiority does| and can exist only in the imaginative minds of those who think in that manner. The sounder minds, both urban and rural, know that the difference is imaginary rather than real. And so, the meeting Tuesday night is a particularly happy one for Bismarck and Burleigh county. There the businessmen of the community, city and rural, will meet and get to know each other better. The differences of opinion which would develop among them, were any subject broached for discussion, would be only such as} can always be expected when a group of men, each with a different viewpoint and training, turn their minds to @ common problem. Essentially, each man would look at it in the light of common sense, experience and| expediency. And the rural element could be depended on to con- tribute its full quota of sound judgment and foresight. The experiences of the last few years have made it nec- essary for the men on the soil to exercise their gray matter even more diligently than has been the case with some folks in the city. In the past there has been an apparent effort on the part of some people to build up a diversity of interest be- tween the city man and his country brother. In some cases and in some places there are such differenees, but they have no logical place in North Dakota's scheme of things. ‘The people of this state long ago realized that agri- culture—though the greatest—is just another industry in this nation, Farming also is, in a manner of speak- ing, a way of living because of the necessary differences in environment between city and country, but the at- titude and the ability brought to the problems presented ‘re approximately the same in the case of the farmer @s in the case of men in other industries. Every North Dakotan realizes that the nation’s pulse still beats as true among the businessmen of the farm as among those of the city. He realizes, also, that there an be no real prosperity and advancement unless the farm participates in it. If the businessman of the city is to succeed, the busi- Messman on the farm must succeed first, for he is the original producer of wealth in this state. vcore And so the differences which have been built up be- tween town and country dwellers are seen to be largely artificial. This fact will be emphasized more clearly ‘when members of the Rotary club and their guests break bread together Tuesday night. . It is the really significant thing about the meeting. Basketball Week Bisfharck begins today a week which will be unique in fits experience, for never before has it held the attention of all North Dakotans interested in basketball as a major sport. Of all the athletic events which are held annually in this state, nqne compares with ti state basketball tourn- ament in point of general interest. It marks the climax of a season of effort for thousands of high school players of the most enthusiastic fans in the world are women. To this tournament will come many a mother, traveling @ long distance, in order to see her son perform in the state contests. Family as well as sectional and city pride, therefore, Plays a part in adding to the interest. : Bismarck, as always, will greet its guests with the friendly hand clasp and the words of genuine welcome. The fact that it has a team which has fought its way to the final state contest only adds to its responsibility to see that the tournament visitors get considerate treatment. ‘We offer our splendid new community building with pride to be the setting for this annual epic of speed, skill and aggressiveness. We will be even more proud, as a city and as individuals, to demonstrate why it is that Bismarck is known as a friendly city. State agricultural college, which comes here Thursday night to meet a local independent team in @ game which will show basketball as it is played by leading aggrega- tions in this country. For Bismarck’s friendliness is not reserved for a select few, it extends to every well- meaning stranger within its gates. And well-meaning, in this case, includes most especial- ly the members of those teams which come here seeking to add still further to their hard-won laurels of the season now ending. As is its right, Bismarck will cheer for its own entry in the state tournament. It will do so, however, with that courtesy and kindliness which its reputation de- mands and with scrupulous regard for the rights and feelings of its visitors. After all, no game is worth while unless both players and spectators can view it in the spirit of “may the best man win.” The Job Making Machine The case of the automobile as a job making machine is pretty well proved’ by John T. Flynn in a recent issue of Collier's. The Flynn article falls as a bomb- shell into the councils of those who are busy in their periodic attempts to prove that unemployment is due to the increase in labor-saving machinery. Says Collier's in a prefatory note to Flynn's com- prehensive review: “It's all very well to lay unemploy- ment to machines and overproduction. But what ma- chines? And overproduction of what? Take the auto- mobile industry, for instance. These machines give em- ployment to millions .. .” According to Flynn, automobiles in 1929 used up more steel than the railroads or the building industry—in fact, they consumed more steel that year than all the industries in the United States did at the beginning of the century. The automobile factories are not the only units to be considered in this far-reaching “job making ma- chine”; there are numerous other factors. Briefly, the number of persons employed, directly or indirectly, in this giant industry are as follows: Auto factory workers .........0.+6 Parts workers ..............-+ Workers in steel and other metals . Workers in textiles, gless, etc. Workers in factory power plants Service and garage men . Employed in gasoline manufacture Employed in road building and main- tenance Chauffeurs and taxi drivers ‘Truck and bus drivers Employed in manufactuting and market- ing Of accessories .....ceeceeseeeeee 170,000 Total ....cccsecesecceeseccecesceees «4,401,000 Not included in the above figures are the builders of garages and hotels, workers in hotels, lunch rooms and roadside stands, and the manufacture of camping out- fits, driving gloves, blankets and other motoring equip- ment. This brings the total thus employed close to the four and a half million mark, which in Mr. Flynn's opinion| will offset any inroads which machine methods’ may} have made on payrolls in other industries.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The une’s policies, ribs Runaway Tax Collector (New Leipzig Sentinel) Tt begins to look as if taxpaying Americans will have their hands full during the next year or so trying to keep taxes from getting beyond all limits. In many states measures have been passed whose in- evitable effect must be to place a greater burden on businesses, property-owners, workers. Levies have been from one type of property to another—on the supposition that this constitutes tax relief. New and al- most unknown forms of taxes—state income taxes, in- tangible taxes, etc—have come into being. Too many public officials are seeking more funds to rag too few are secking ways to lower cost of govern- ment. It is about time our citizens took affairs in their own hands and said “Whoa!” to the runaway tax collector, Depression to Continue Here (The Dakota Student, University of North Dakota) North Dakota is soon to emerge from the depths of the present business depression, economic experts main- tain. Yet the state university, with its biennial budget based on depression conditions, must feel the effects of the subnormal situation for all of the next two years. * While everyone is glad that salaries of professors and instructors are not to suffer in the budget slash, yet other departments, almost as vital to the progress and maintenance of the university, must stand still or go backwards during the biennium. ig Something must be wrong with a state system that requires a state institution to literally fight a body that meets every two years to get enough money to exist on. Such.is not the case in all states. It makes one think that the legislature actually believes the institution is not serving a public good and is not worth the appropriation used to keep it going. However, university officials do‘feel somewhat better now that the Agricultural college appropriation bill has been decreased by correction, more nearly equalizing the moneys and budget cuts dealt out to the two schools. , Jamestown Persists (Mott Pioneer Press) In the face of the almost unanimous action of the state legislature and the numerous editorials and news stories from over the state reflecting a very strong senti- ment against it, the Jamestown committee persists in pe Sete Corin YOK?

It used to be the fashion for doc- tors to prescribe » change of climate for anyone suffering from a chronic disease. Neurasthenics especially were advised to take trips to the ‘mountains or seashore or, in fact, any Place where they were not living at the time. It is true that a change of climate sometimes gives a relief in such diseases as tuberculosis, asthma, hay fever and heart trouble, but I have seen patients suffering from these troubles cured in almost every climate and altitude simply by mak- ing the necessary dietetic “It is so easy to try to blame the climate or some external condition for troubles which originate from our own ignorance or lack of care. In the year 1593 Ponce de Leon searched for the Fountain of Youth in Florida rather than searching for it at home. All he got for his trouble was @ poisoned arrow. Men have al- ways been searching for a relief from the laws of Nature in order to enjoy health which they have'not earned. It ‘s true that occasionally we hear of a person who had benefited his health by taking a trip to some distant part, but I believe that this is usually be- cause the patient leaves behind some irritating friends or relatives, or be- cause the vacation gives him more time to play and brings about a change of living habits. As a rule, the relief produced by moving to a different climate or en- vironment is only temporaty, for the. old habits remain and soon bring back the old troubles. Everyone should realize that the main cause of disease is always found in bad habits. It is these wrong ha- bits which weaken the resistance 80 that disease can affect the body. Bad habits can be just as bad rida or California as in New York or Nova Scotia or Alaska. One cannot run away from one’s own bad habits by changing the place of abode, and the same imprudent methods of living which you practiced at home will in- variably tend to create the same symptoms if continued in other cli- mates. I receive thousands of letters from people asking me if it will help them to take a trip for the change of cli- mate, but my reply to them is usually to make a change in their habits of Hving and eating, and that the cli- mate is not so important. ‘You can search the world over and you will not discover any hidden places for the health you have been seeking. ‘The only place you will find health is to turn your attention shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will—Captain Malcolm Campbell, British auto racing champion. t _Barss | | UU SaaS aE ‘Wherl convicts get! uneasy, that’s the time the warden takes his pen in * * * Even fish go in schools with a por- Poise. x eR Illinois farmers are to conduct a campaign to make the public “milk conscious.” Isn't that what the milk man does when he rouses us in the morning? x * * Dorothy thinks that “plug” tobacco is the kind an ipa sane chews on.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Salt Water Question: G. M. asks: “Is there any harm in drinking a quart of warm water with a teapoonful of salt for a bowel elimination?” Answer: The use of hot salt water has an effect in stimulating peristal- sis through irritation. It might be harmful in some cases, but in general the effect is the same as taking laxa- lives and purgatives. It is far better to find the cause of const{pation and sree a das peitlid following the proper rules rej exercising, dieting, etc. ? Lima Bean Bread Question: R. A. L. asks: “How does the lima bean bread now on the market compare with other breads?” Answer: Lima bean bread is a great improvement over the ordinary breads, containing a much larger amount of protein and enough min- erals to be considered an alkaline food. Soy bean bread has the same good qualities, and one with acidosis may wisely substitute these breads for the ordinary white bread. Distilled Water Question: J. H. F. asks: “Do you think distilled water is better for a Person having arthritis deposits in the joints of the hands, instead of drinking live water or boiled water? Does distilled water saturate itself with the hard deposits in the body and thereby help to carry off that calcium deposit?” Answer: Distilled water is the only absolutely pure water. We do not find pure water in Nature. How- ever, I do not believe that it makes any difference what kind of water 4s used in the treatment of arthritis as long as you use plenty of it. The city water from the hydrant may be depended upon to be free from dan- gerous bacteria, and usually tests as Pure as any water, with the exception of that which has been distilled and has had every trace of foreign mat- ter removed. | AT THE MOVIES | OO CAPITOL THEATRE The thrill picture of the year opened today at the Capitol Theatre. “It is “The Bat Whispers,” Roland West's production for United Artists, featuring that dynamic young actor Chester Morris. 7 ‘When “the bat” whispered—the au- dience sat spellbound. Morris, who skyrocketed to screen fame in “Alibi,” and increased his following in “The Divorcee” and “The Big House,” gives the most startling performance of his career. The identity of “the bat,” and what he whispers is the key to the rapid- fire mystery drama. The audience was kept tense throughout the play trying to determine the secret and solve the puzzle of the arch-criminal who holds the public in terror of his deeds. ‘West, who makes only one picture @ year, has turned out the liveliest Piece of entertainment in town. The camera work is unusual, replete with electrifying shots and strange angles. Interest never lags for a .moment from the time “the bat” commits his first crime until he is unmasked at the end. Here's @ request from the Capitol Theatre. After you've seen the show don’t disclose the secret to your friends or you'll spoil the real kick for them. You had to guess. Let them do the same. Driscoll By MRS. F. 0. JOHNSON The girls’ basketball team of Dris- coll played the girls of the Indian school and were badly beaten, 24-0. The Dawson girls played hard but were no match for their op- Pohents who played a well-mannered game. Nevertheless our girls were very enthusiastic about it ana enjoy- ed the encounter with them very much. After the game they were enter- tained in a very courteous and friend- ly way by the Indian girls who showed them some of their work and through the school, also serving a very fine lunch.
