(Official City, State and County Newspaper) _ Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Real Progress Residents of North Dakota will have opportunity to judge the real pro- gress of the state when the state corn show opens its doors here Wednes- day for the annual four-day exhibi- tion. For the real progress of a people is represented by the spirit in the hearts and the achievements of the: hands of the common every-day folk who carry the world’s burdens. The great may pose, the lusty-lunged may declaim, the obsequious may bow, the scientist may discover and the in- ventor may originate but all of these things may be irrelevant and some are unimportant. Not until an idea or a thing has taken hold of the) minds and hearts of the common people can it be said that it has real- ly aided progress. Until the people have accepted them, new facts re- main merely as possibilities. For many years the northward ex- tension of the corn belt was a proved possibility. Some of the pioneers had demonstrated that good corn’ could be raised in North Dakota. But for a long time the practice was leoked upon as something of a feat, as an unnecessary action on the part of the men who performed it. Corn had no popular appeal. Those were the days of bonanza, wheat, when small grain was not only easy to raise but profitable as well. Corn had to be cultivated. A corn crop represented something more than mere planting and harvest. It meant work done in mid-season, in the heat of summer days. But the bonanza days passed. Nec- essity has combined with intelligence to bring corn into the foreground. ‘The ‘bottom has fallen out of the wheat market. Corn prices are low, too, but even under present condi- tions the average North Dakota! farmer has done better—much better —with corn than with wheat. The price of pork is ruinously low but an sere brings vastly more money when Planted to corn which is fed to a pig end marketed on the hoof than when Planted to small grain. This fact and its realization by the common people is the real source of the wonderful corn development which will be demonstrated at the show, There are few hopes so per- sistent in the average mind as the hope for success. There are few per- sons so stubborn that they will not accept an idea after its worth has been proved. And 60, we see the more progres- sive farmers of North Dakota turn- ing more and more to corn. Not wildly or in the hope that it will per- form miracles in their behalf, but in the certain knowledge that it has an important place in North Dakota's agricultural scheme and their own! economic progress. It has been demonstrated often enough that corn is profitable in North Dakota. Not a little credit for spreading the gospel of corn in this state is due to the annual corn show. There the doubting Thomases could see for! themselves what has been done with this great cereal. There they could learn how it was done and compare notes with their neighbors. Trophies and ribbons taken back! from this show by participants have stirred interest in every rural com- munity. The whole business has served to drive home the lesson of “more corn” to a state which once laughed et the idea. Perhaps the best evidence of the success of the state corn show is the large number of local, county and dis- trict corn shows which have been held in the state this fall. A score were held in the vicinity of Bismarck Sione and at each one the less pro- gressive and usually the less pros- Perous farmers had opportunity to see what their neighbors had done. The pick of the exhibits at the local corn shows will be shown here. In addition there will be exhibits of poultry by 4-H club boys and girls and a program of entertainment which offers lighter moments to visi- tors. indication is that the ex- k hibits will be unusually numerous and of markedly high quality. Those de- sirous of seeing the best will find it here. And the show-goers will find more than that. They will see, in the racks at the corn show, the definite ex- pression of a great people's deter- mination to meet changing times with changing methods; to keep up with the parade of progress; to protect their own interests by doing that which is most beneficial to them, Government and Business One of the inevitable results of hard times is renewed demands for further extension of the activities of the federal government. Unemployment insurance, govern- ment subsidy of this business or gov- ernment ownership of that, gigantic “relief” bond issues—hardly a day Passes without a new, suggested pau- area. The federal government might do more to bring back prosperity, so far as that is within the power of any one nation, by restricting its activi- ties. There is only one cure for unem- ployment — industrial development that will put men to work. There is only one cure for depression—a new influx of active capital into business. High taxes and governmental inter- ference are a barrier in the way of both these cures. No individual would, for example, build a new home if he believed it would soon be taxed beyond his ability to pay. And no group of investors would build a new factory if there was danger of taxa- tion growing so great as to make profits impossible. Government should do everything it can to encourage industry, invest- ments, employment. But it certainly should go slow in spending hundyeds| of millions of dollars of the taxpay- ers’ money for transient and dubious “reliet” schemes, The Naval Budget Cut Every patriotic American natural- ly, wants to see the American navy kept at the highest possible point of efficiency. And when naval author- ities protest that the proposed reduc- tions in the naval budget will seri- ously hamper them in the effort to} maintain the fleet's efficiency they are entitled to a hearing. Nevertheless, President Hoover's! insistence that the department slash $61,000,000 from its planned expendi- tures for the coming year will prob- ably win the support ‘of the majority of his fellow citizens, His remark’ that even meritorious projects “can, must and will be deferred” is sound good sense. The present times are abnormal,| and the federal government must re- trench. The Navy Department will have to take its cut along with the others.

Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Advice to Borrow (New York Times) The American Federation of Labor showed sound judgment when it re- fused to endorse the proposal for a “prosperity loan” of some enormious sum as $5,000,000,000 or $10,000,000,000. ‘The convention urged the Government to extend its efforts to relieve unem- ployment, but turned its back on the Prophets who preach that the way to restore good times is to borrow lavish- ly. It is a fallacious doctrine, with even less to commend it now than when it was first proposed some months ago. Earlier in the year it was at least! Possible for advocates of this plan to! argue that money was cheap and that the Government could float a large loan at small cost to the taxpayer.) Since then credit conditions have changed considerably. When the Treasury issued $50,000,000 in ninety- day bills last week it was compelled to pay an average interest rate of 2% ber cent, compared with less than one- half of 1 per cent last Spring. The narrow margin by which the last of- fer of $800,000,000 in Government: bonds was oversubscribed at the end of August likewise served notice that | money does not grow on every bush} along the road. Vast operations in} refunding face the Treasury in the| near future. On Dec. 15, $995,000,000 in certificates and notes must be re- tired. In March certificates amount- ing to $623,000,000 mature, and in June the first Liberty Loan of $1,933,- 000,000 becomes callable. It is already clear that the Government will be; forced to pay higher interest rates; than in recent months. Meantime, a candid appraisal of the present situation must reckon with the fact that gold is being taken out of circulation by timid hoarders; that several of the Government's bond is- sues, now selling below par, would be further depressed by extensive bor- rowing; and that the Treasury’s posi- tion has been weakened by a deficit which may amount to $1,500,000,000, unless taxes are increased, { a deficit of $900,000,000 for the fiscal year which closed in June.

Mary went weak with joy. “I've got word of—the person we were speaking of,” he said. “T’'ll See you 2t three o'clock. Can you be ready to go with me then?” “Oh, Dirk, of course! Then it’s all right? Everything’s all right?” “I don’t know that,” he hedged, “I haven't talked with him, Better not say anything to anybody yet. ‘Well, I'm going home and get some sleep now, and I'll be around for you at g quarter of three, sharp, See you then.” Three o'clock. If she could just keep her own counsel until then. Somehow she could not bear to face Mr. Jupiter with the knowledge of what she was holding back. “So far there has been nothing—noth- ing!” There was something—not much, perhaps, but something. She would feel better when the strain of waiting was over, when Mr. Ju- Diter knew. She was almost fatalistic about it now. She knew that sooner or later someone would interrogate Bessie, if they had not already done so, and that in all probability Bessie would tell frankly about the side door she had left unlocked at '8 Fequest. She ought to speak to Bessie. But something held her back. Pride, of @ sort. She could le her- self but she could not ask Bessie to He. Intrigue with a housemaid would be humiliating at best. Per. haps Inspector Kane was so busy he would forget about Bessie, But as she passed the library door she saw Kane there with Mr. Jupiter and the lawyer, talking with a fourth man who had his back to the door. She recognized with a start that it was Tom, the chauffeur. eee To was shaking his head with great positiveness, “I'd take my oath on it,” he said, “that it was the same car. Three times it came in and went ‘round tee circle, in the space of half an our.” ‘ou’d know it again if you saw would. A black body with aluminum trimmings and alumt- tum hood. Mr. Jupiter called our attention to it, that’s why I noticed ft. A guy was driving it, but I didn’t see his face.” “Anybody in it?” “Nobody in it that I could see.” The detective made a rapid note. “Lorimor. Special body.” The chauffeur nodded, “All right, Tom, Kane watched the girl's white face with obvious relish of the im: pression he was creating. all these thorns.” ‘The newspapermen eyed her curl- ously; sho felt as overpowered with shyness as if she had suddenly been thrust out on a stage, alone. But they behaved toward her with the most formal courtesy. Kane jumped into the middle of his discourse. Evidently he had gone over most of it with them in- dividually before. “So as I said before to you boys, I’m convinced the crook who did this was an amateur and a bungler. I haven't changed my mind.” “Bungler!” someone snorted sar- castically, ~ Kane raised his voice. “Bungler, I said. And why? Because he'll have to take the rap for murder, that’s why. Any jewel thief who knew the A BC of the business could have got those jewels and never left a mark on the old lady.” Remembering the presence of Mr. Jupiter, he lowered his voice some- what as if to soften what he had to say. “But how did he get in?” some- body asked. KANE waved him down. “He got in, didn’t he? We'll get around to that. Two Pinkerton men looked over the guests as they came in and there wasn't a ‘mug’ in the lot, But they left at midnight. “But let's get on.

The thief was either hiding in a closet, or in the next room, or else he came iu after the did. He steps out, throws 9 up. “Now! How do I know the guy was an amateur? Because first off he grabs her rings and the dia- mond tl-ayra. Diamonds are flashy, and any fool knows what they're worth. But rubies,” he broke off to ask, “any of you ever seen the Jupiter necklace?” There was shaking of heads. “Pictures of it,” one man admitted, “Well, then you know it doesn’t look like so much. You'd never think to look at it that $500,000 wouldn't buy it. A cool half a mil- lion! That’s money, in any lan- guage. But just to look at, why, say, my wife's got a string of pearls 1 bought her for Christmas that knocks the spots off it for looks!” “Taking a little graft, Kane?” somebody snickered. Kane over- looked the raillery. “Now, the way I figure it, this guy don’t have any real idea of the value of that necklace or he wouldn’t have fooled with the other stuff. Here's what he did: he pock- eted the diamonds, and made a pass at the necklace. Now, any crook smart enough to know a ruby from an agate knows that a valuable string of any kind don’t depend on no catch that’s gonna come apart with a jerk. A woman can’t lose a necklace nowadays, They've all got patent catches. This guy was new and he was scared, for when the old lady refused to hand over the necklace it rattled him, He tried to snatch it and she held it up in her hands, tight. He cusses her and she runs to the balcony and he lets her have it, Now, why would he do that? ven ‘ “He must have thought thé upper floor was deserted or ha wouldn't have been there.

But the chances are he didn’t, for he didn’t have time. Miss Hark- ness thinks she didn’t scream, but she isn't sure, She probably made a sound of some kind. Then it couldn’t have been more than a minute before she came in and the man was gone. When Miss Hark- hess came in and when she went out, the lights were on, full and bright. She didn’t make a search, naturally, and it’s a good thing she didn't, for Miss Harkness,” he turned to the girl, “you can take my word for it the murderer was Still in that room, all the time you were there!” eee HE watched the girl's white face with obvious relish of the im- Pression he was creating. “The butler answered Mrs, Jup!- ter’s bell that had just rung a min- ute before he met Miss Harkness at the foot of the stairs. When the butler entered the room, it was dark. He switched on the lights himself. “I don't get you, Sergeant,” some- body commented. “Who rang the buzzer—Miss Harkness?” “No. He did. The thief did.

In those who have the disease, any diminution in the amount of oxygen going to the heart muscle produces the painful attack. Any extraordin- ary effort or breathing for a long time in a small closed room may bring on an attack. The heart, as has been said re- peatedly in these columns, is the one organ in the body which begins to function fully before the birth of the child and proceeds without cessation of its activities until the time of death. It is known that excessive activity causes the heart to beat fast and with great intensity, whereas rest in bed lowers the rate of the heart, and so far as is human- ly possible actually rests the heart muscle. For this reason the prime prescription in most cases of heart disease of any type is rest. The un- derstanding of the mechanism of pro- duction of pain in the heart in re- lationship to the amount of work done is @ further indication of the necessity for providing a proper amount of rest for this important or- gan. filled with picturesque characters, but the most colorful tales usually attach to “Nick the Greek,” a plung- er of the old school who drops for- tunes and makes them overnight. The faro dealers are in a class quite by themselves. Most of them are old-timers, who have been deal- ing for years and who have wan- dered from town to town over the earth. They were broken in many years ago in the old west and have wound up finally in the big town where chances of employment are Few of them have been able to re- sist the gambler’s itch, and although aware of the odds against them, have tossed away their earnings trying to beat some other game. I was told recently that there are practically no modern-day faro deal- ers in the big town. The gamblers no longer take time out for such matters; racketeering and big money stunts engage their attention. So the job of perpetuating the old gambling goes to the picturesque old- timers. It is said that these experts know all the old faro fans and fre- quently drift into towns where these one-time suckers live, hoping that the fever to play will never cool. (Copyrigt, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.) MICHAELIS’ RESIGNATION On Oct. 24, 1917, Dr. Georg Mich- aelis, chancellor of Germany, resigned and his resignation was accepted. Dr. Michaelis, who had been chan- cellor since July 14, 1917, resigned because of his lack of sympathy with the majority groups of the Reichstag and his suspected attitude of opposi- tion to broadened Parliamentary powers. It was charged that he was not candid in his declarations regarding the Reichstag peace proposals, and showed a partiality to the extreme Pan-German annexationists. He was succeeded by Georg F. von Hertling, who had been occupying the position of prime minister of Ba- varia. Dr. Michaelis temporarly re- tained the office of prime minister of Prussia. Six tons of bombs were dropped by British aviators on the Burbach > works, west of Saarbrucken, Rhenish Prussia, on the night of Oct. 24. Four German airdromes were attacked, and 45 heavy bombs dropped, and direct hits were made on a group of hang- ars.

But I’ve got an- other witness that saw him prob- ably. Saw him plain. Can identity him. But I'll tell you boys frankly that I don’t think his life would be worth a nickel if I told you who he was.” One of the men—he was the vet- eran police reporter for the Star— asked slowly, “Saw him before or after the shooting?” Kane hesitated. “Before,” he ad- mitted finally, There was some talk about the exact value of the jewels, a request to photograph the necklace. And ia a remarkably short time, the newspapermen had all left the house. Only the man from the Star hung back, while his photographer went upstairs to “shoot” the neck- lace. “You know, you sound to me, Inspector, as if you had already made up your mind who did this, Am I right, or wrong?” he asked. “And if I had,” barked Kane dis- concerted, “would I spring it to you guys?
