(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Better Than Charity Proposal by a committee of the Bismarck Association of Commerce to survey the city in an effort to find odd jobs for unemployed breadwin- ners, deserves the support of every citizen. Every loyal Bismarck resident should inspect his property or pro- perties to see if he cannot give a job now to one or more men who need employment. In a great many cases the alternative is to provide jobs or to give alms, and, of the two choices, | the former is infinitely the better. It obtains for the giver more for his money and it assists in maintaining the self-respect and confidence of the Tecipient. Do not hesitate to show your co- Operation because the job you have is only @ little one, for the little jobs, taken together, are just as im- Portant as the big ones. That bit of painting, that minor repair, can be done now to as good advantage as would be the case later. In nine cases out of ten it can be done much more cheaply. The committee will provide expert assistance for any householder or businessman who wants advice about the development of his property or the making of repairs and improve- ments. Its members are willing to serve in solving these material prob- Jems in order that the fundamental human problem, which lies in the background, also may be solved. Do not hesitate to call upon the com- mittee for such assistance. It will be given gladly. And do not forget to make the sur- vey which the committee asks you to make. See if you haven't got at least) one little job to give. It will be good business for you and it may mean happiness to others. Getting the Limelight ‘The business which took ‘Alfalfa’ Bill” Murray to Washington recently need not interest us, but if the idea was to push himself into the lime-| light as a Democratic candidate for) the presidency it is proving a great success. The Oklahoma governor is a pic- turesque figure with a flair for the dramatic which has stood him in good stead in is own state. Every successful politician has a certain amount of showmanship and the abundance of this quality which Mur- ray possesses may aid him in his quest for further political honors, . Except when they got into trouble @nd were impeached, we haven't heard © great deal of Oklahoma’s governors recently, but everyone knows of “Alfalfa Bill” Murray. He not only knows that it “pays to advertise” but he seems to know how. His latest stunt is his speech be- fore the Anti-Saloon League conven- tion at Washington. It may get him “in bad” with the League but it draws new headlines. The fact that he failed to express his thoughts in detail to the conven- tion, omitting a part of his prepared speech because he felt the audience was not entirely friendly to his ideas, does not dim the fact that he announced himself willing to stand behind the speech as written. This shows courage, for too often men have departed from set speeches with Jess candor in explanation of their changed attitude. The fact that Murray has been 3 ly E & Comany, en- tered at the postoffice at Bismarck as seen $7.20 others, although it cannot be denied that the matter has become of in- creasing importance in recent years. A great many persons feel that there has been entirely too much fanaticism in the nation’s effort to, deal with the liquor evil. Not all who vote dry agree with the ideas .20| and pronouncements of the dry lead- ers. Not all who vote wet agree with the aims and expressions of the wet orators, Perhaps a majority find themselves on middle ground but forced by the nature of the issue to Support one extreme or the other. Murray's action in Washingtea 50| Suggests one thing which might prove beneficial to the nation and assist 00| in obtaining a fair and adequate ad- justment of the entire question. If more dry speakers appeared be- fore wet audiences, and if more wet Speakers addressed dry gatherings, firm adherents of each side might receive a jolt which would be good for them. This might help to estab- lish the solution of the liquor ques- tion on the basis of practicability and reason rather than upon prejudice or greed. An Expression of Confidence Announcement by the Northwest- ern Bell Telephone company that :t has begun the construction of a new cable line between Bismarck and Mandan at a cost of $52,000 to pro- vide for the further growth of these two cities should inspire new con- fidence in the future of the twin cities of the Missouri river. Coming at this particular time, it is especially noteworthy because it ex- Presses the certainty of a great com- mercial organization that the future of these cities is assured and that no major happening now is in sight to deter their growth and develop- ment. Local enthusiasm and pride some- times does not see quite as clearly as do executives of large corporations who are detached from their influ- ences. On the other hand, local fears and doubts may be overstressed in a manner not understandable to out- siders. The fact that the major executives of the Northwestern Bell company regard Bismarck as a proper field for expansion means a great deal more just now than appears on the surface. They show @ confidence which the rest of us will do well to emulate. ‘We are grateful to the Bell com- pany for this particular action at this particular time. The fact that it will provide jobs for some of our residents is important, but hardly as far-reaching as the spirit which the move engenders.

Publicity for Potatoes (Minneapolis Tribune) The value of the potato industry to Minnesota is to receive some needed, publicity during the week beginning January 24 through a campaign which will publicize the Minnesota potato, not only to the state itself 1 but to the nation as well. The extent of Minnesota's potato acreage and/smaller numbers al-| Sify the owner as a™person of im- the value of the crop are not real. portance.” ized even by the citizens of the stale the total income from Minnesota’s wheat crop for a number of years and claiming a total acreage that is’ exceeded by no other state in the Union, it is evident that potatoes: represent a productive asset to the state that is of major significance. The annual shipments of Minne- sota potatoes run to 22,000 carloads and have long enjoyed a favorabie demand. In fact the quality of Min- nesota’s potatoes seems almost bettcr recognized outside the state than within. and one purpose of Min- nesota’s “potato week” will be to call the state's attention more emphati- cally to the value of this industry. According to a survey conducted by) the University farm 11 per cent of} the potatoes received on the Chicago market are from Minnesota, 28 per cent of those received at Kansas City, 21 per cent on the St. Louis market, 24 per cent at Cincinnati and 30 per cent at Omaha. Last year’s potato crop was valued at $8,664,000. Although Minnesota is one of the nation’s leading potato-producing states, that industry has not made the progress which the quality of its product deserves. To remedy that situation Minnesota has enacted a new potato-grading law which has yet to be taken advantage of to any great extent. This offers Minnesota growers an opportunity to capitaiize on the quality of their product and at the same time insures the con- sumer @ uniform quality. That some producers have come to see the pos- sibilities under this new law is in- dicated in the action taken by grow- ers in Itasca and St. Louis counties, who have formed an organization gua New York, Jan. 20.—Acres of newspaper space are occupied by stories concerning John D. Rockefel- ler and his son. but rarely, if ever, are you likely to come across any- thing concerning Mrs. John D. Rock- efeller, Jr. Of all the ladies of great wealth in New York, she is the most modest, and simple in attire; the least exhi- bitionistic of those luxuries which her riches could buy and the most casual—even indifferent — toward those social splashes in which so many seem to figure. Those who have observed Mrs. Rockefeller over a period of years inform me that a modest pearl neck- lace is usually the extent of her jew- el decorations, While enjoying the opera, she is not to be found in the “diamond horshoe” crowd on open- ing night, and such resorts as New- port and Southampton seem to in- terest her only casually. Few have been the social affairs that might have been staged at the Rockefeller mansion, just off the “avenoo.” Her interest is largely in things concern- ing private welfare and charity. She has any number of “private” and public philanthropies, and these are said to jocbupy moat g her time. On the contrary, New York is clut- tered with persons willing to devote their lives to struggling for any sort of a niche in the society world or for the reputation of being a “big shot.” One of the many vanities of cer- tain New Yorkers is the possession of automobile license plates that car- ry with them a certain reputation.
