(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS «& BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Farmers Union Meets Bismarck has the privilege today of welcoming the Farmers Union members of North Dakota, who gath- er here for their annual convention. It does so with a warm heart and a cordiality which is more than forme], for it recognizes that these men and the thousands of their fellows in’ North Dakota, are the backbone of ‘the state and nation, financially, cul- turally and socially. The meeting of this great organi- gation in our city serves to emphasize ‘anew to those who live in cities and ‘who may need, occasionally, to be re- minded of it, that the farmer is the leading citizen in North Dakota. No other state is so completely agricul- tural as our own. Nowhere in Amer- ica is agricultural prosperity more important than here. If there is no agricultural prosperity or progress, there can be no prosperity or prog- Tess for the rest of us. The Farmers Union is representa- tive of this great group, striving man- fully to assist in placing agriculture on a better plane. It is trying to put more dollars in the pockets of North Dakota’s farmers. No one will be happier, if they succeed, than the business and professional people who must sell their goods and services to! farmers, in the long run, or else not market them at all. The Farmers Union is a young or- ganization, but a vital one. It looms large in the affairs of North Dakota, and the Northwest. It already has, an enviable record of achievement, and its leaders hope for greater things. What the future holds for it may be decided, in part, at this con- vention in our city. Because of the nature of the en- terprises in which it is engaged, the Farmers Union is a militant organi- gation and, like all fighting groups, it has its enemies. It advocates poli-~ cies and ideas which are at variance with some of the things which have been accepted by custom. It is op- posed by forces which are unfriendly to it—but which could not be expect- ed to be otherwise. ‘The battles in which the Farmers ‘Union is engaged will be determined by many factors, but most essential of all is that of service to the com- munity in which it operates, the hon- esty and ability of its leadership, and the tenacity with which it pursues its In is essence it is a new incarna- tion of an old idea in agricultural America and one which has been a storm center for generations. In deciding the struggle now going on over various marketing systems nd ideas, the general public must play a passive part. The contest is of general interest and the attitude Of the average citizen is of some im- Portance, although by no means es- sential. .The public, as such, how- ever, can hardly be called upon as the final judge. The reason for this fact is that the Farmers Union and its enterprises ‘will rise or fall on their own merits fnd on their own record. One need not take sides for or against any system or idea to wish them well—and a pleasant and suc- cessful convention in Bismarck. Forget-Me-Not ‘There is more than passing appeal in the forget-me-nots which will be offered for sale on Bismarck’s streets) ‘Tuesday by local women who are co- Operating. with the Disabled Ameri- can Veterans, an organization of ex- Servicemen whose contributions to their country have been personal and many. ‘These little flowers should serve to recall to the average citizen, not only the debt which he owes to those who| @efended the nation in time of war, but more especially to those men for ‘whom the war will not be ended un- iil “taps” are blown over their graves. Where are thousands of these men today, shattered or handicapped in| mind or body as a part of war's ter- ible price. Some are in hospitals re- ceiving the tender care of a grateful it—but forgotten by the 20 | rest of us. rank and file of America in whose behalf they received the wounds from which they suffer. Others are going about their daily tasks, not wholly incapacitated for civilian pursuits but not enjoying good health and always, conscious of disabilities, handicaps and ailments which were war-born. Because of the peculiarity of their position, these men are keenly aware of the after-effects of the great con- flict and are more conscious of the needs of the afflicted, the widows and the orphans, than are most of the It is to raise funds to carry on work among these less fortunate ones that the forget-me-nots are being sold. It is to be hoped that Bismarck will make generous contribution to this worthy project. No Charity Game Decision of Grand Forks and Bis- marck school authorities not to stage @ post-season football game for char- ity was received with mingled emo- tions by Bismarck sport fans, but the general view was a philosophical one. Hundreds of persons took a keen interest in the suggestion and would have liked to see the game material- ize, but since the-authorities decided against it there has been no protest Entering largely into the decision was the fact that Grand Forks al- ready had scheduled a charity game with Watertown, S. D., for Armistice day. To ask the Big Red team from the north to engage in another en- counter the following Saturday, prac- tically the only available date, was too much. Bismarck, too, has played a hard schedule and has a tough battle ahead with Mandan on Armistic? day. After all, high school boys are only high school boys and it would be asking @ lot of them to add an- other hard game to their schedule. The attitude of school authorities that, if the only -object in view were to decide a state championship they ‘were unequivocally opposed to tie con- test, is sound. After all, there is a great deal more to football and high school athletics in general than to decide championships. They are pleasant to win and tend toward a pardonable civic pride, but they are not all-important. One of the few notable poems relating to athletics ends with the moral, “He'll ask not if you won or lost, but how you played the game.” ‘We have seen with what splendid success and spirit Bismarck’s youth has played the game in the schedule now almost ended. A post-season contest was not necessary from that standpoint. On the other hand, there seems lit- tle doubt that the suggested Bis- marck-Grand Forks game would have been a “natural” from the standpoin‘ of the average football fan and doubt- Jess would have drawn a record at- tendance. The fact could not hav been ignored that the winner would have unquestioned claim on state honors for this season and it would reasonably have been billed as a championship encounter. As it stands now, Bismarck will be content to be rated a good second in the state standings, provided it beats Mandan again. It has scored de- cisive victories over every leading team in the state with the exception of Grand: Forks and Devils Lake, which’ were not on the schedule. Its Jone defeat was at the hands of Jamestown, & team which must be rated well down the list when one considers championships. But that lone defeat cannot be minimized o: glossed over. It appears in the rec- ords and is there to stay. Surprising as it was, on the basis of previous records, that defeat may) turn out to be a good thing for the boys on the Bismarck team. It taught them more than they could have learned in a dozen victories and it will stand as a warning for the fu- ture when Bismarck may again have championship possibilities. One of its) greatest values lies in the fact that it will not easily be forgotten. Bismarck, therefore, is content to concede the football palm to Grand Forks for the 1931 season, to lay in- disputable claim to second place, and to say without boasting, “It may be different next year.” Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or dis: with The Tribune's policies. Inventors and the Hall of Fame (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) If the present rules are maintained, it will be 29 years before Edison's bust can be placed in the Hall of Fame. According to the principles which guide the’ electors, a man’s greatness cannot be properly judged in less than 25 years after his death. Inas- much as the last election was in 1930, and elections occur every five years, Edison will not be eligible until 1960. That his bust will be placed with America’s great as soon as the rules permit goes without saying. Without doubt, his selection will be by unani- mous vote, which will be an honor not yet accorded to anyone. When Washington was chosen, he received the votes of 96 of the 100 electors. No one has a better record than he. Meanwhile, the group of inventors in! the Hall of Fame remains strikingly small. Joseph Henry, who producea the electro-magnet; Robert Fulton of the steamboat, Morse of the tele- graph, Whitney of the cotton gin and Howe of the sewing machine are the only ones. Yet the contributions of that quintet made a far greater im- press upon the life habits of their fel- low countrymen, and of the world, for that matter, than whole blocs of their statued es, Oll-burning locomotives have been Hurry!

And, of course, that would be the one evening in weeks when I had called a temporary halt on theaters and nightspots and come home for @ little quiet reading and writing. “Why don’t you throw all that stuff away?” I inquired, mustering my most masterful voice and sliding it into the key of annoyance. At the moment, the frau was standing before a mir- ror, holding up one of those gold-sil- ver spangled vintage gowns that came almost to the knees. “Either give it away or throw it away! Why clutter up the house?” I went on. “You don’t seem to recognize it ++.” There was a hurt note in the voice that indicated I had somehow faux passed, as usual. “Yes, yes—I'd know it anywhere!” I bluffed. “Well—I’ve kept it because it was the first evening dress we were able to afford ... remember I got it for an anniversary party ...!” “You mean to tell me that you've lugged that from San Francisco to New York? That it’s been taking up good space in a box... . That ends it! Till never take you to another movie. ... The next thing I know you'll be dragging out a lock of hair...” ee ® “How did you know?” She seem- ed a bit puzzled. “How did I know what?” “That I had found it!” ...

For we he-men columnists must never show the slightest sign of weakening. “I suppose you'll tell me in a min- ute that it’s mine!” “Well, it is!

It was plain that he ‘was disconceried by the news. “They took me through that room this afternoon,” she whispered. “There were some men in there then: How does he look, The Fly?” Bowen answered absently, “I don’t know. God, what I'd give for the nerve to walk through that door and poke him one!” He flicked a match away viciously. don’t! He'd kill you,” Mary gasped. He withdrew from that glittering day-dream to smile. “Don’t worry. I'm no Jack the Giant-killer, If he got away, he might go gunning for Jack, as a squealer. Can’t let anything. hap- pen to Jack, the Newspaperman’s Hope.” He gnawed his underlip ina frenzy of concentration. “You said you had an idea,” Mary reminded him timidly. “An idea for flushing him when we’ didn't know where he was,” Bowen replied. “It's not necessary now.” He relapsed into, discontent- ed abstraction. “What was it?’ she probed. “Why—” he leaned forward and traced a pattern on the tablecloth with his forefinger thoughtfully. “Simply this: that crook would give his soul for another chance at that necklace. I know it. I'd bet on it. And I'll lay you another bet—I don’t know who his playmates are in there, but 10 to one they're hatch- ing some scheme to get that neck- lace right now!” “It's locked up!” Mary interposed quickly. “No doubt,” he answered dryly. “But there are ways of getting around that. Of couse, if it’s ina safety deposit box there isn’t much to worry abcut—”, Alarm widened the girls eyes, “Tt isn’t,” she confessed. “It’s in Mr. Jupiter's. personal safe. He wouldn't take it to the bank. No uso locking the door after the horse was stolen, he said, and besides he didn't care what became of the thing anyway. He hates the thought that it was her jewels, you know—the jewels he gave her, that—” Bowen nodded, understandingly. “But that’s no place for it. Some body will be knocking him off one of these nights.” “I told him. Mr, Ruyther did, too. He just says, ‘Let them come.’ He doesn’t care what happens to him now his wife's dead.” Boweh was clicking a thumb-nail against his teeth and staring straight through her with bright, thoughtful eyes. “Well, they say lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place,” bh mused. “But just the same h taking an awful chance, eee oe he sat up and slapped “the table with his hand. “By George!” he said. “Why not? Let him come, an jamned to him. And while he’s grabbing the necklace we'll grab him!” “Oh, nat” Mary cried, in alarm. She shuddered. “Why not arrest him now? Why leave him free to comeback again and perhaps kil—” Patiently ho explained. “We haven't got anything on the Fly as it is, You and I may be convinced that he is the murderer of Mrs. Jupiter and undoubtedly of your brother as well. But what have we got to put before a jury? Not a strap of evidence of any kind!” “Those men at the track—” “We haven't even got a credible witness,” he went on. “Bookies, gamblers, touts, Can you see Mike there going on the witness stand and impressing a jury? They'd vote to hang him instead of the defend- ant. “No, we've either got to spend a lot of time and money digging for évidence, finding the jewels, finding the car, and the man who drove it, and naybe not getting anything conclusive after all, or getting him red-handed, if we can. If we get too hot on his trail—hot enough to really get the dope on him—he may skip the country and then where would we be? Tied up with extradition proceedings, and a long drawn-out legal battle. We'd both be old and gray before we got a conviction, “This trick isn’t as dangerous as it sounds, either. And you've got to remember this—if we get him to col to us we can choose the time and be ready for him. If he comes when he pleases, we're stumped.” “But are you suro he'd make an- other try for it? I should think he'd be too frightened!” “He's not frightened at all. That's the point! Why, do you think he's hiding from the police in there?” He threw back his head and laughed. “Don't you believe it? Why, every cop on the beat knows Shay’s is a hang-out for crooks. If Kane asked the metropolitan po- lice to bring him in it’s the frst place in this district they'd look. He'd be safer standing on a street corner. No, he's keeping out of sight for another reason. And a Sood one, “This is what I figure: you know criminals are as vain as actors. They're as proud of a good smooth job as any sandlot Hamlet. If they muff a trick, they get razed by the rest of the boys, And they're human—they don't like it, “Now you remember what a rag: ging Kane gave this bird in the newspapers? Called him an ama- teur and a bungler, and said he pulled the biggest boner of all time in passing up that necklace? That must have got under the Fly’s skin! He'd give his soul for a chance to make a fool out of Kane! Give him another chance at that necklace and he'll jump at it. I'd bet my life on it!” “But how?” Mary all atten- tion, Bowen's enthusiasm and air of conviction were contagious, “Through Mike, Or Shay, per haps. I can do a little discreet talking, after you're gone. -It'll go straight to the ‘k. I suppose you'd call Shay straight but he's heart and soul with these crooks. He couldn't keep a secret.” “Nothing must happen to excite Mr. Jupiter! That's doctor’s or- ders, Even if he would agree, I don’t think it would be wise. It sounds awfully dangerous—” “With the place surrounded? Don’t be sil, They’d probably nab him without a shot being fired. If he came 1. He might smell a trap—that’s what we ‘got to look out for.” He was already plenning busily and Mary was beginning to doubt the wisdom of telling him the necklace’s whereabouts. “When can I see the old man and put it up to him?” he asked briskly. “He'll have to pay the cops. He ought to, anyway.” M48" said, “Listen! Forget all this. It can’t be done. Oh, I wouldn't have them know I talked to you about this for anything in the world—! I'd no idea that what you had in mind was anything like this!” Bowen looked dashed. He spread his hands despairingly. “Good Lord! It's safe as a church! Where'll you be if he comes when you're not looking for him? That octogenarian butler’ll handle him, I suppose! And he'll come. What's he hanging around New track and his horse ts racing at Belmont tomorrow. I’m positive he doesn't know he’s under suspicion. As a matter of fact he isn’t, except by you and me and who else have you told?” “Mr. Jupiter. And Dirk. And Spence. Oh, how stupid of me! I forgot to tell you—” She recounted rapidly the story of the butler’s en- counter with the mysterious “gate crashing” stranger that night Mrs. Jupiter was killed, and the strange coincidence of the coat. Bowen seemed electrified at the news, “There's identification, when we need it!” he exclaimed gleefully. “Of course, it would still be purely circumstantial, but the fact—that the Fly was on the premises that night—will go far toward hanging him, We've almost got a case! Almost!” Mary’s nerves gave way, and she clung to his hands in sudden panic. “Oh, let's call the police! I'd feel better if he was behind bars!” Bowen looked at her somberly. He was silent for some time. When he spoke again he had toyed with the idea and rejected it for cause. But perhaps, for her sake, it would be best. “It wouldn’t be easy, though,” he sald. “There'd be a shoot-out, and somebody would get hurt. Why? Because you can burn in this state for one murder, and he’s got two to answer for. Even if they took him, he might stay in jail and he might not, He'd never confess, He'd brazen it out. He knows he can beat the rap if he keeps his mouth shut. And once he knows we're onto him, every other way is closed to us. We'd have to convict him in court, or let him go. It he got off free, you'd have to accept the fact— York for? He hasn't been near the| be “But he may get away acyhow,” sho falfered. “Sure. Maybe, But there are more powerful chains than the ones you see sometimes. Pride. Revenge. Cupidity. Rank, stupid vanity. If we try, we can make him want to stick around! He won't run away. On the contrary, we won't be able to shake him. If he acts on his own initiative, he'll @ the ad- vantage of us, surprise us, But if he acts when we choose, we'll be ready for him. Ever hear of strategy?” He took a small dog- eared dictionary from his pocket and read: “Stratagem; a maneuver designed to deceive or outwit an enemy in war; hence, any device for obtaining advantage.” The girl’s eyes were soft, gentle, as they rested on him. There was something endearing about his very earnestness. “You're funny,” she said gently. “You sound—wise. I hope you are.” He put the book back in his Docket with a flourish. “I hope to tell you Iam! Listen to me, girl, could you beg, borrow or steal that necklace for one eve ning?” It took her breath away. “Oh, I don’t think so!” she gasped. “What for, for heaven's sake!” “I'd like to rub his nose in it, | It'd be like a red flag toa bull. He wants it, but we've got to make him want it right now! Tantalize him into action before he has time to plan.” “What do you want me to do?” Mary asked in a small voice. “Wear it where he can see it?” He nodded. “Let him sniff blood, and then you could run home quick with the necklace, and that would enough. You'd be protected every step of the way. You'd have as big a bodyguard as Jack Dia- mond. There'd’ be plainclothesmen all over the place, in case anybody Made a false move.” “Oh, but that would be insane!” To take such a chance with that many thousand dollars around my neck! I'd die of worry. And what if I lost it, or it was stolen?” “I couldn't pay for it, not on my weekly insult,” Bowen conceded. “Well, it was just an idea. Maybe there's another way.” He clung to it fondly, though. “That would’get action. We haven't got all summer to fool with this cluck, You're get- ting married pretty soon, aren't you?” “Mary said, “Heavens, I’d almost forgotten—I'm getting married to- morrow!” Bowen sat as if struck, Then “Good God,” he burst out, anger and disappointment in his tone, “you can get married any time! This is {mportant. We've only got a few days—hours—min- utes, maybe. But hell—if you haven't got the nerve—" Mary brought her stnall fist down on the table with a bang. “I’ve got the nerve for anything that will help get that man!” she cried. “If you'll promise to protect the necklace, I'll get {t, somehow!” A smile of surprise and gratifica- tion spread over his face. He looked pleased silly. “You will? Good girl! Then we're all set. It’s a go!” “It’s a go,” Mary repeated, and they shook hands. A door opened at the rear of the d° footsteps’ approached, eyes narrowed suddenly; became tense and set. Mary @id not turn her head, but watched him with dilated eyes, “All right, Barrymore,” he mut- tered under his breath. “Now's and ike it, There wouldn't be any- thing more you could do.” Mary began reluctantly to feel toe strength of his reasoning. your hig moment.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association Were it not for the fact that the human body contains mechanisms for resisting infection, bacteria would soon dominate the earth. Various types of antiseptic solutions have been developed by scientific medicine to aid the body tissues in resisting infection. The skin was formerly considered merely an envelope for the human body, a sort of cover to hold in the tissues or the organs. Now it is real- ized that the skin has its own blood supply and that it must be considered an essential living tissue. In order to find. out to what ex- tent the skin could destroy bacteria, Dr. J. F. Norton and Miss Marguerite Novy recently made special studies on this point. The hands of work- ers were put into a dilute suspension of bacteria. Then a sterile cotton swab was rubbed' over a designated surface of the skin and inoculated into @ plate of culture medium. When the bacteria grew, they were counted, so that it was possbile to determine the extent to which the skin could itself destroy germs. It is well established that there art always living germs on the skin, an¢ it seemed possible to the investigator that perhaps some other mechanisit was responsible for the gradual dis- appearance of the germs from thi skin. As a result of their investigations, the authors conclude that bacteria applied to the skin diminish in num- bers very rapidly, the greatest dim- inution occurring during the first 10 minutes. The most important factor in: volved, they discovered, was the pres- ence of moisture. The organisms dis- appear more rapidly when’ the skin dries rapidly than when it is kept moist. ‘ ‘There seems to be no doubt but that virulent germs getting on the skin and finding a spot in which the surface is broken, such as occurs in times of wounds, bruises or other in- juries, may. set up serious infection. In such instances, the use of antisep- tics and germicides brings about rapid destruction of the germs. It is also well established that the use of plenty of soap and water is an e ly useful technic for avoid ing skin infections. You ‘may kid the public, but I know you!
