CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Figure Passes Death of Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, speaker of the ational house of representatives, removes from the po- Uitieal stage a unique and pleasant figure. Occasionally mentioned for the presidency, Longworth was hardly the type to take overly well with either the masses of the people or the political leaders who like to be considered the advisors of presidents. Spats, fine clothes, jokes and all, he was just “The Gentleman from Ohio” to the scores of congressional members who loved him. In a way, Longworth was a personality in that he did not permit the cares and dignity of his office to sub- merge him. As speaker he was little different from the other members of congress. As a member of congress he was no different from the gay, fun-loving citi- zen who once made Cincinnati, his home city, resound with his pranks. Politically, Longworth was a standpatter of the stand- patters. His was a party regularity not open to question. But withal he was a pleasant regular. Political dis- ‘agreements never interfered with his personal friend- ships and so, despite the many contests in which he was necessarily engaged, he always was rated by his antagon- ists as a friendly foe. As the husband of “Princess Alice Roosevelt,” there was danger that his own personality might be submerged beneath the burden of a great name. This proved a handicap to Longworth, who was too much of an Amer- ican to wish to be known as Alice Roosevelt's husband, and he battled with it as best he could. The success of his efforts is shown by the fact that he managed to at- tain one of the most important political offices in the nation. but why live if you can’t argue Profiting Through Service When merchants build new stores, add additional sales space, install new fixtures, improve their show windows, augment their sales forces, replenish their stocks with the best and newest, it is for the public. Of course they are in business for th® purpose of making a living, but te jmake that living they must first give service, so their | first objective is always “to serve and please.” “Fair exchange is no robbery” is a business phrase which has been handed down from generation to gener- ation and now seems to have acquired immortality. The laborer exchanges his labor for his wage. The capitalist ! exchanges his money for his interest. The manufacturer exchanges his products for his cost of production plus profit, the professional man exchanges his services for his fees or his salary, the storekeeper exchanges his goods for cost plus serviee charge. Everybody is in bus- iness for himself by being in business for somebody else. | Like the public official, the merchant is in business for | society and therefore every member of that society is his employer, his boss. One of the compensations of business is that public recognition and appreciation come to none sooner than to the businessman who really serves. A flourishing trade is synonymous with public trust and confidence. Service must ever precede success in business. | Might Try Sugar W. 8.

Longworth nevertheless managed to convey the idea that few of the many incongruous situations existing in the nation’s politics escaped his observation. To the affairs of state and of his party he gave due importance and attention but they never prevented him from being hhimsif. He served his party faithfully but with recogni- tion of its disabilities as well as its strength. It takes nerve to dare to be one’s self under the stress of a high political office. Nick Longworth dared and got away with it. He will be long remembered and ad- mired for that fact. The United States in 1940 ‘Three years ago the Greater North Dakota association put on an editors’ writing contest, the subject being “North Dakota in 1940.” About 25 North Dakota editors took part and produced a wealth of readable and val- uable material. The future of North Dakota was painted in bright colors. ‘The judges believed that some of the NortHt Dakota writers were over-enthusiastic; but now comes Floyd Parsons, one of the country’s leading statisticians, and offers # similar forecast for the United States that makes our own writers look over-modest by comparison. ‘What is more, he does not let his imagination run wild, but figures everything out on a statistical and historical basis. He starts out by asserting thag even with our restricted immigration and present birth rate, 17,000,000 more people will be added to our population by 1940. If the critical reader can accept that stupendous figure as a possible fact, he will be prepared for the impressive list of mid-century wonders that follows. Because of these new millions added to our inhabitants, Parsons estimates that the country will have to produce four trillion more heat units, one and a half billion more pounds of sugar, eleven billion more gallons. of gasoline, one and a quarter billion more pounds of copper, six Editorial Comment Haitortals printed below show the trend of thought || by other editors.

It Looks Like Another Surplus (Duluth Herald) If there is to be any important reduction in the American wheat crop this year it begins to look as if it were up to the farmers of the northwest. In spite of the trouble with last year's surplus and the repeated appeals of the federal farm board to cut acre- age, the farmers of the winter wheat areas, mostly in the southwest, have disregarded facts and gone their own way. The department of agriculture announces that the acreage sown to winter wheat is only one and a tenth per cent less than last year, or about forty-two million acres in crop. Most of it is reported to have come through the winter in good condition. With the federal farm board still holding about two hundred million bushels of last year’s crop and desperate- ly trying to figure out some way to dispose of it with- out too heavy a loss, it’s natural to wonder what those southwest farmers think they are going to do with their wheat when they get it. j Certainly there is nothing in the world situation now to offer hope of relief from exports. If not, the fall of 1931 will probably find the farmer facing the same price and surplus problem that he did last fall, again demanding that the government rescue him from a trap that he has entered. And with the politicians constantly encouraging him to defy the economic law of supply and demand which other industries have to observe, perhaps he shouldn't be blamed so much for expecting this aid.

Their reception by military students and authorities has been most cordial, | while the interest and appreciation shown by the gen- eral public have been marked. More than one reader of the general’s account of his experience in the war at the head of the American army haf remarked in effet “Pershing is a greater man than I thought he was. What he has made clearer to his fellow-countrymen is his firm grasp, from the first, of the essentials of the great conflict; his unyielding insistence upon the organ- ization of the American troops under their own flag and their own commander; and his ever-strengthening con- viction that the war could be ended only by throwing the greatest possible forces with the utmost energy and deter- mination against the Germans in open combat. £1) this, with countless details and explanations, General Per- shing has set forth in an orderly narrative, written with modesty, yet with a full sense of the indispensable of the great war. F He has been writing, it must be remembered, of the American army in France. Not for him was it to describe the entire development of the campaign of 1918 under the direction of Marshal Foch. General Pershing had, of course, many contacts with the British and French ngerous Curves Ahead! : NEWSNOTEs“GIRL SIGNS CONTRACT TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL !* |.

Treat- ments such as massage, osteopathy, chiropractic and electrotherapy will be helpful in restoring the circulation to the affected parts. Baby’s Diet Question: C, R. H. asks: “At about what age should a baby be changed from the milk diet to solid foods? What should one use first? During the spring months should the baby be given cod liver oil?” Answer: The baby should not be given solid foods until at least a year and a half old, and then for several months there should be added only minced non-starchy vegetables, or the addition of small quantities of fruits. Babies given the proper foods do not require cod liver oil. Exercises Question: D. G. writes: “I would like to know how to keep, my flesh solid without becoming muscular. For @ woman, I am too muscular now, and have stopped playing basketball.” Answer: Do not worry about being too muscular. It is heaftnrul to be muscular, and as you grow older the muscular condition will be rounded out so that it will not be noticeable. Keep right on with your athletics.
