(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON! Two Builders | Last week saw the death of two) builders of Bismarck territory. One was J. H. Wishek of Ashley, a power in central North Dakota since territorial days and one of the men who helped to build and develop a new empjre. ‘The other was Nils Lovin, Bismarck contractor and builder and one of the respected citizens of this community. Both were strong men with a tre-j| mendous capacity for work and for making friendships and each enjoyed life according to his bent. Wishek’s activities covered a wider if less populous field. As lawyer, pro- moter and financier, he was largely responsible for the development of several mid-Dakota counties. As ad- viser to his business and agricultural friends, he played a prominent part in stabilizing the area which knew his influence. As a member of the legislature and later as a political power, his ideas were given respect- ful consideration throughout the state. For several years the extensive business affairs of Mr. Wishek have been ably administered by his sons along the lines laid down for them by their father. In the border coun- ties throughout the central part of; the state the name of Wishek has be- come a tradition. Although the operations of Mr.; Lovin were less extensive than those/ of Mr. Wishek they played an impor-| tant part in the building of the} state’s capital city. His genius di-| rected the building of some of the city’s largest structures as well as many smaller ones. His quiet kind- liness won for him many friends in this district, just as Mr. Wishek’s warm-heartedness made him a val- ued neighbor and friend in his com-| munity. H ‘Their lives were wholly unrelated, but it is not inappropriate to speak of the two men in the same connec- tion. Each served loyally and well and each earned recognition as a good citizen. There is no higher compliment, which one may pay a man in this country of ours. A Weight on Recovery Out of the welter of panaceas for alding the nation’s recovery to nor- mal business, the proposal for a five- billion-dollar bond issue seems to be attracting major advocacy among certain of the nation’s politicians. ‘The case made for it; that it would provide jobs for the jobless and put money into circulation, thereby re- lieving business stresses and strains, is an interesting one. There are rome questions, however, which should be/ adequately answered before the na- tion embarks upon such a prograni. The first is: “Where is the money going to come from, and what effect would the withdrawal of so large a sum from commercial channels havc on private business?” The answer to the first part of the question is, of course, “By issuing government bonds,” but it isn't enough to issue bonds. Someone must pay for them. | And right there the second part of the question begins to weigh down heavily. And besides, it is a question if the issuance of five billion dollars in bonds under pres- ent conditions would not break the market, not only for the prospective issue but for government and. other bonds already in circulation. The second question is: “Where, 50| of government is so beneficial to the worse than ever before. Even while||” the money was being spent the bur- den of increased taxation would has- ten the day of penance. And when that dayscame America would indeed find itself wearing a hair-shirt. As political propaganda to catch the worried and unthinking voter, the five-billion-dollar bond issue may be great stuff. From the standpoint {of national economics or patriotic in- terest in the welfare of the country it is pure bunkum. The very fact that Senator LaFol- lette and some others are advocating it emphasizes one of the real needs of the time. This is to educate the men in public office to the fact that j the biggest trouble with the country is the unbearably high ratio of taxa- j tion to income and that no artifice public as sound and economical gov- ernment. Square-Rigger Appeal One of the oddest developments of | the winter is the discovery that there are hundreds of boys in the United States and Canada who would give j almost anything to be able to go to sea before the mast on a square-rig- ged sailing vessel. There are still several square-rig- gers operating in the grain trade be- tween Australia and England. A. J. Villiers, who owns one of them, has been trying to promote a race among these ships, and would like to get an American ship to take part also. So far, however, he has had to spend about 75 per cent of his time answering letters from young men who would like to go along as sea- men. From all parts of North Amer- ica they have written to him, beg- ging that they be signed on. Riding It! ; Some offer to pay for the privilege. College graduates have offered to sign on as cooks.

Russia be declared a republic of Soviets. The Republic of Soviets is formed on the basis of a free alli- ance of free nations under the consti- tution of a confederation of national Soviet Republics.” The Revolutionary Committee of the Ninth Russian Army sent @ two- hour ultimatum to the Russian mili- tary authorities demanding free pass- age for Russian troops through Jassy. King Ferdinand of Rumania was Placed under the protection of the allies. German raids south and west of the Oise were repulsed by the French. Goes To Philippines the steamship cannot possibly rival. Now all of this is a bit puzzling, for there is no question that the steady disappearance of the sailing vessel has made life a whole lot eas-j ier for the sailors, The sailing ships were beautiful to look at, but life aboard was very often complete hell. The work was hard and the food was Poor, dangers were many and living accommodations were, frequently,; atrocious. Discipline ranged all the way from merely strict to downright brutal. Read any of the books written by the sailor-writers, from Dana down through Conrad to Bone and Reisen- berg, and you get a picture of a life that was almost unbelievably hard. Now, after many centuries, that life has been largely relieved of its} terrors. Steamship Jack is bettct paid, better housed, better fed and: more decently treated than his pre- decessors ever were. But the young men fall over them-{ selves to get a taste of the hard old life and calmly ignore the pleasanter} life of the steam-driven merchant marine! The human race, evidently, does nearly as much as it likes to pre- tend.

Closing Courtroom Doors (The Baltimore Sun) An unusual issue, involving free- dom of the press, has arisen in a murder case in Kentucky. Because of criticism of the conduct of the trial by a newspaper published in Tennes- see a circuit judge prohibited any of the paper's representatives from en- tering the courtroom to report the Proceedings. His right to do so was challenged before the state's court of appeals. In defense of the newspaper New- ton D. Baker described the danger of establishing such a precedent by as- Serting that if it were upheld it would rest with the discretion of any judge to exclude from a courtroom not only the representatives of a particular newspaper but of all newspapers. {been issuing strangely discordant and the London importation, “Good Night, Jan open feud with publishers is ex- not mind hardship, danger and pain!

Everyone knows families in whict§ all of the members tend to be large alid other families in which all of them tend to be small. " * * * Apparently it is most important to know that the nutrition is adequate and then to observe the way in which the weight changes, In telling people what they tought to weigh, doctors do best when they consider each case by itself, It is necessary to know the family’s tendencies, to find out what the person eats and to what extent of to know the extent to which the ra. tient exercises. If @ person’s weight has been stationary for a long time, if he is able to do effective work, if he has not obvious disease, and if his build is like that of other members of his family, he may safely conclude that his weight is normal for him, If, on the other hand, weight be- gins to increase without any explana- tion in increased appetite or lessened exercise, it is desirable to look for some special cause. ee 8 In a consideration of this subject, Doctor Davenport points out that in- heritance of body build must be care- fully considered when those who are naturally slender go in for reducing or gaining weight. If one is normally slender or normally stout, it is diffi- cult, if not dangerous, to try to change the body build. Semi-starvation will reduce weight, but will. also reduce re- sistance to disease. The naturally slender person who tries putting on weight by overeating puts too much work on his stomach and digestive tract, and may suffer loss of appetite and inability to eat comfortably. Doc- tor Davenport gives the exceedingly good advice, “Let us be glad that we are ourselves and not try to drown our personalities in the way of the the food is utilized.
