(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The People Are Sound When Shakespeare commented that “a rose by any other name 1s, just as sweet,” he uttered a truth which some folks are prone to over- look in considering some of the pub- lic problems presented for their solu- tion. A case in point is the activity of the I. W. W. in starting forest fires in the Black Hills. One individual confessed that he had aided in start- ing more than 30 such blazes and then, either overcome by remorse or fearful of what the future held in 1.50| ing calls for help. There is excellent .00| OTSanizations for the administration even more than now is the case and probably will be before winter is over. Workmen, voluntarily through their organizations or under the pressure of employers, are giving up a day or two of their week to help their fel- low workers. This is most com- mendable and should be encouraged. The sections of the state where drought diminished crop returns to the vanishing point are in greatest, need and here is where the forces are being mobilized to see that no one suffers. The job there is to keep the farmers on the land and help them through until the next crop. Railroads have been prompt to aid in the moving of stock and the hand-| ling of feed to ease the situation. In| fact, every agency is alert in answer- cooperation in most communities and results will be more efficient when of relief are perfected. It Will Be a Job Suggestion that the farmers of the state take fullest advantage of the possibilities of the state farm-stor- age act is contained in a statement sent out to newspapers by Wesley McDowell, present head of thatstate agency. ‘4 Pointing out that it is wasteful to send grain to Minneapolis or Duluth and then ship it back into the state when needed, McDowell suggests that Provision be made to meet the state's own needs first and thus save freight and handling costs. In the past, he said: “We have paid Minneapolis prices plus freight and various other charges, to buy back our grain wherever we have had a de- structive hail storm. dry wea- ther, black rust or any failure over some wide area in the state. That is true almost every year. Almost invariably, some section, either large or small somewhere in the state is hit by local adverse conditions requiring farmers to ship in feed or seed. “The North Dakota grain stor- age act fits right into this pic- ture.” In these trying times the econo- mies which McDowell suggests should not be overlooked but it cannot be overlooked, either, that he has a job store, took his own life. He admit- ted that he was an I. W. W. and im- Plicated several other men, none of _ whom were captured. : i The point is not that the man was | an IL. W. W., but in what the teach- ings of that organization resulted in. Millions of dollars worth of valuable timber was destroyed. People were ) forced to flee from their homes and ! the losses in livestock and other items ran into a considerable figure, not to mention the cost of fighting the fires. The fires would have been just as bad had the same number of blazes been started by smokers, careless, campers or by some other so-called accidental means. We could under- stand that and, perhaps, condone it in the knowledge that humans are prone to error. But for a man to deliberately cause| & conflagration for the purpose of destroying another man’s property requires a perverted mind. Such a man is a case for the psychologists as well as for the police, for he can- not be other than insane. There's ® queer twist in him some place. It matters not if he is an I. W. W.! or a leading church member, because: actions speak much louder than words, / ‘There are many ordinarily sane citizens who have, under some sort of stress, espoused certain theories of communism and I. W. W.ism in the course of conservation. But many of these would be the first to con- demn actions moulded on the I. W. W. pattern. It has been a long time since this section of the country has had to contend with sabotage of the nature’ | Sponsored by this misguided and ir- | responsible organization, but any { farmer who ever suffered a broken) * separator in threshing time at their hands has no love for them. That sort of radicalism draws nothing but ‘The South Dakota incident calls to our mind that the I. W. W. still are active in the land. Honest citi- ~& man with perversions such as fester now need not call him- W. to be just as dan- most vicious member As things stand now, it probably is the greatest tribute to the innane soundness and responsibility of our people that the I. W. W. teachings and similar radical ideas have ob- tained practically no converts in North Dakota’s Unemployment Indications are that North Dakota can Care for her own needy this win- ter without assistance beyond her own borders. Communities are ac- tively engaged in setting up relief "|up a Gefense against the neighbor on his hands if he is to make the grain-storage law function as its sponsors originally intended. ‘The measure, as it stands, was a! compromise, dictated more by poli- tics than by considerations of pracy ticality. There is more than a hint that it has been operated on a po- litical basis. It is almost undisputed that it has been a failure to date. If McDowell can make it successful}; he will have accomplished some- thing really worth while, The city council of Warsaw, Po- land, has accepted a gift from Ig- nace Jan Paderewski, famous pian- ist, to finance the construction of a monument to Col. E. M. House, who will be remembered as confidential advisor to President Wilson. Those who remember House prob- ably will suggest that the monu- ment should have some of the char- acteristics of Egypt’s famous sphinx. The present state administration may or may not have shifted the burden of taxation. Anyway, be that as it may, the rate ‘ill be higher and| even the magic of the politicians; cannot shift that.

Now there is something to get excited about! A few months ago the army air corps made a circuit over the east- fern United States in military flying maneuvers, dropping hypothetical bombs on large cities and engaging in aerial skirmishes for the delecta- tion of crowds below. Newspapers) were furnished with columns of pub- licity about these warlike displays, and many interested in peace were genuinely concerned about the effect on public thought at home and abroad. Now another branch of the army is going to travel from Washington to the Pacific coast and back, show- ering the centers of population en route with musical entertainment. Ta-r-r-rum! Ta-r-r-ra! Ta-ra-ra-ra, —ra-ra-ra-rum! There will be ma- neuvers in tunes and tones, twitter- ing arias on the oboe and resound- ing “oom-pahs” on the bass horn; there will be marches with stirring] attack and melodious numbers of Classical air—all going to show that @ soldier can have an ear for music. ‘This expedition of the nation’s uni- formed forces deserves as much publicity as the air parade. For that matter, a band is its own assurance of public attention. The army may be certain of making friends for its music on every su tour. The plan might even be com- mended to other nations. No doubt other army bands already make tours; but let them be extended. Where recent air corps maneuvers were held simul! by France and Italy with hundreds of planes swooping about on their respective sides of the border, a barrage of concerts instead would have fur- nished its own form of nations! pres- tige and would have not merely set nation, but against war. itself. Tf the tacticians must have their play with platoons and battalions in an imaginary — very imaginary— “next war,” let them use the bands and fight it out with cornets, trom- bones, flutes and tubas. That will be pleasanter for all concerned and no less thrilling! ‘There are 1,675 lighthouses on Can- adian conste, TODAY 1S THE ‘bassador foreign office, dated Jan. 22, 1917, in which the ambassador asked for $50,-| 000 to be paid to influence congress to prevent war.

She bent over it, frowning slightly as she studied a column. The words were in fine print and very black. Norma pursed her lips as she read: “Truss the bird. Rub a little butter over it and dredge with flour, salt and pepper. Put in roast- ing pan and place in hot oven. Baste at frequent intervals—” The three little wrinkles in the girl's forehead deepened. Somehow the instructions sounded compli- cated. She went on reading until she had finished the column. It was last night’s edition of the Press that lay before her, opened to the woman’s page. In two columns on the right-hand side Sister Sarah, the home economics editor, gave menus and recipes for the Thanksgiving dinner, There were three menus—one elaborate and formal with roast turkey the main dish, one in which duck was the wiece de resistance, and a simpler meal in which the fowl was chicken. Sister Sarah wrote of traditional Seasonable delicacies. Of course there must be dressing and gravy with the bird. Celery and cran- berry sauce and all the harvest Vegetables were synonymous with Thanksgiving. For dessert either mince ple or pumpkin and there'd be no harm in having doughnuts and cider and squares of cheese handy for an evening lunch, Thanksgiving was three days away. For a week Norma had been thinking about the holiday. Mark would not have to go to the store and the rest would be a fine thing for him. So much of the time lately Mark had looked tired. Cooking the Thanksgiving dinner was a challenge to Norma’s house- wifely ability. She was to show her skill and at the same time a little anxious. She had read every word in Sister Sarah's column for several days, Turkey, of course, was out of the 4 Question. Imagine cooking a tur- key for two! Chicken seemed com- monplace.

She was concentrating this morn- ing on the printed instructions for Toasting @ duck, “Truss the bird. . . . Put in roasting pan and place in hot oven. Baste at frequent intervals... .” It might be simple to someone who knew exactly what it all meant. What was “basting” and how frequent were “frequent inter- vals"? eee vc eertaalets an inspiration popped into the girl's head. She went to the telephore. “14 lke to speak to Miss Saun- ders,” she informed the girl who answered. Another moment and she heard Chris’ voice. “Hello, Chris. How are you? Oh —fine, of course! Listen, is it all right to interrupt your business hours to ask advice about cooking. It is? Well—that’s lucky because ‘there's something I just have to know. I want.to have roast duck for dinner Thursday and can you tell me what I’m supposed to do with it after I get it home from the meat market?” Most of the answer that came over the wire was lost in laughter, “But, Chris, I mean it! I've been reading a lot of recipes in the pa- per and I can’t make head or tail of them. It says to baste the duck but I don’t see why it needs to be sewed—” Explanations were in order. Chris, never-failing source of as- sistance, explained the term “bast- ing” in its culinary use. She told Norma to get paper and pencil and. when she had them and was back at the telephone gave careful in. structions for preparation of the fowl. s “It really isn’t difficult, Norma,” the older girl said. “Just do it the way I've told you and I’m sure there won't be any trouble. Of course you want to buy your duck at @ market where you know they'll give you a good one.” “Oh, Mr. Sykes always gives me good meat. I’m not worried about that part. Thanks a thousand times, Chris. You certainly are a lifesaver. By the way, what are you doing Thursday? Why don’t you come out? To dinner I mean! ‘We'd love to have you—!” Chris declined the invitation with apologies. She had an engagement, she said. She didn’t specify where or with whom her dinner engage- ment was. “But you will come out to see us s00n, won't you?” Norma in- sisted. “Ot course I will. Sunday maybe, If there's anything else you want to ask about your duck don’t hes. tate to call.” “T- won't, And I'll do it exactly the way you told me. Goodby, Chris. You certainly are an angel!” Wednesday morning, bright and early, Norma set out on her shop- ping tour. She bought a four-pound duck which Mr. Sykes, the dependa- ble butcher, assured her would come out of the roasting oven flavorsome and tender. She stopped at the grocery store and ordered vegetables, a jar of mincemeat, cheese and nuts and ‘several kinds of fruit to make a centerpiece. ‘Tho things were to be delivered, ‘and as Norma walked home the|there’s one thing I'm mighty glad|by @ shrill, familiar voice. crisp air brought color into her about—won't have to sit across (To Be Continued) “Hello sucker.” * ee ‘With the wheat situation what it is, maybe there’s something to this Baker-for-President move after all. ee 2 declaration in favor of Ireland is} bust in Paris, probably knows what highly desirable, in order to gain the| it is, by this ti support of Irish influence here.” » to be on one. ee } = Tombs of bulls have been excavat- ed in Egypt and now the archéolo- gists are looking around for evidence of a Stock Exchange. ee & In Michigan they've picked a peach queen to publicize the crop. A canny cheeks. The wind whipped her skirts. There was a park nearby and she always made the trip to the store walking along the edge of the park until she had to turn. Dead leaves rustled on the side- walk. The trees were nearly bare now. Somehow the fall had flown past without. her realizing it. So much had happened in the past weeks, DUTFOLLY she turned away from the park and went on to the apartment. It had just occurred to Norma how she had spent Thanksgiving a year before. A din- ner engagement with Bob Farrell. Almost the first time she had gone out with him. She remembered Rob | had taken her to a restaurant down town for a heavy and indigestible dinner and that afterward they had driven along country roads in a car Bob had borrowed. ‘What would Bob be doing tomor- row? she wondered: How little she had thought of him lately and how much he had occupied her thoughts a few months ago! Norma reached the apartment and immediately stray fancies van- ished. There was work to be done and the girl settled down to it im- mediately. The whole apartment must be made immaculate. She was in the midat of the sweeping when there was a ring at the door. It was the boy from the store who waited outside. Norma set the groceries on the kitchen table and returned the basket, Then she put the duck in the ice box and went on with her sweeping. ‘ Dinner that evening was late. Mark did not arrive home until after six. He threw down his hat and coat and told Norma it had been a tiresome day. More people in the store because of the coming holiday. Customers, keyed to ex- citement, a little more impatient than usual. Yes, Mark was weary. Ho had been at Blossomdale’s for three weeks now. There had been $85 pay checks and on Satur- day there would be another. The young Traverses, though they had little on the credit side of the ledger, were at least meeting their debts, paying their living expenses and, remarkable as it might seem, quite happy. There had been no quarrels since the night Mark brought home the roses. Both Mark and Norma were too tired at the end of a day to regret the fact they had no money for récreation, “I'm so glad you'll be home all day tomorrow,” Norma said as she set the Isst dish on the table. “You really need the rest, Mark. You've been over-doing.” “Ob, it isn’t that! Just that I’m new at this stuff. Not used to being on my feet all day and don’t know enough about the store. ‘Boy, when the Christmas rush starts I suppose Tl think this was a picnic! After the second week in December the store is open from nine in the morning until nine at night.” “But they’ll pay you extra, won't they?” “Hope so. I haven't found out yet. Well, what’s the program for tomorrgw?” “Dinner at two. I thought you'd want to sleep late. Is that all right?” “O. K. with me.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American After all what does the average jperson accomplish by his exercises The physiologists have found that a healthful man with well-developed muscles, who is working very hard, can sustain an average output of about one-tenth horsepower for eight or 10 hours. If he works himself up to an output of two-tenths horse- power, he is exhausted in two or three hours. Expert rowers in rac- ing shells can work up to five-tenths or six-tenths horsepower, but they are all through after 20 minutes. A Ford car or any kind of motor gets far more done with less wear and tear_on the machine than oc- curs with the human machine. For 10 to 15 seconds, the amount of time required for a 100-yard dash, a human being can develop, accord- ing to Haggard, as much as three to three and a half horsepower. But what of it Any kind of an automo- bile engine does better power. One of the chief uses of exercise today is to aid reduction. Correct diet and exercise, adapted to indi- vidual needs, will aid health and life, but too strenuous exercise, par- ticularly when accompanied by wrong diet, will destroy health and -wreck mental efficiency. The worst thing about exercising to reduce is that exercise stimulates the appetite tre- mendously and following this a re- striction of the diet becomes torture. Sooner or later the exercising be- comes monotonous or difficult, but than 20 horse- : Daily Health Service RIGHT EXERCISE STIMULATES HARMFUL RESULT “Muscle Sense” Is Important to Athletic Accuracy. the habit of hearty eating is ingrained and continues long after the exer- cise is given up. That is what phy- siclans call a vicious circle. Perhaps the most interesting infor- mation available in connection with the whole subject has been evolved by the eminent British physiologist, A. V. Hill. In many track events and other athletic performances the ability to win is not a matter of mus- cle sense. This means correct tim- ing, skilled performance and vital capacity. The practiced pitcher can throw almost as well with his eyes shut. A practiced rifle or revolver shot can aim without sighting. A good mile runner can tell you the time it takes him to run his first lap without looking at his watch. | cannot run as fast as men is simply that they cannot exert the amount of force and energy. The chief value of exercise is gen- sults in dangerous overstimulation. Muscle activity produces fatigue poi- sons. The average man thinks he has exercised well when he is ter- ribly fatigued, stiff and sore after his tigue substances, causing resistance to fatigue, but at no time resulting in soreness or stiffness.” @ place near the piers where Ger- man liners dock and scatter about a few Teutonic sailors as “scenery,” and another transient vogue of the New York variety will be under way. * Meanwhile, the Toughs and toughs, the stevedores and the sailorfolk will gradually desert their old hangouts and retreat to others unknown to the slummers. Soon the slummers will find themselves looking at each other and will wonder what all the shouting was about. At this point in any vogue, ‘the de- cline sets in. A certain number of tourists and locals who are always late participants in metropolitan fadderies will come by out of a timid’ curiosity. And all will be forgotten, or there will be a return to old ways. This, to some extent, has been the story of the Harlem craze, the Ho- boken rage, the Yorkville yodel dush, the Second avenue-Russian-Hungar- jan cafe vogue and many another en- tertainment disturbance in various Manhattan areas.
