(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Search Is Ended Discovery late Thursday of the body | of Charles. A. Lindbergh, Jr., brings to a close one phase of the most spec- tacular crime of modern times. Other infractions of law and morals have had more far-reaching results in the history of the world but none has stirred more interest or has elicited more genuine concern and sympathy on the part of civilized peo- ple everywhere. Viewed in retrospect, the whole thing is an impossibility come true. It is a page from the darkest of dark ages, translated in terms of the twentieth century. When the news flashed to the world on March 1 that the Young Eagict had been snatched from his nest, it seemed an incredible thing. Not that kidnapings had not occurred before. They had. But for such a thing to happen to Lindy and Anne, the na- tion’s best-loved and most representa- tive young couple, was astounding. So far as could be learned they had no enemies, certainly none who would descend to such a fiendish method of wreaking vengeance for fancied slight or injustice. It appeared that the crime was the act either of a de- mented person or of as cold-blooded and inhuman a band of criminals as anyone has ever known. The resources of state and govern- ment were enlisted in the search and these were bulwarked by the intense interest and sympathy of millions of Americans. Everywhere individuals became self-appointed detectives and one result of this was that many in- fants, all resembling the missing child, were discovered. Meanwhile, the piti- ful little body, its head crushed, lay within a few miles of the home where most of its brief life had been spent. In looking afar the officials over- looked the gruesome evidence close at hand, It remained for a colored man, liv- ing near the Lindbergh estate, to make the discovery which so shocked the world that it brought tears to millions of eyes Thursday night. But the finding of the body ends only one phase of this terrific crim- inal mystery. A new one is just be- ginning and the good people of the world will hope that it is prosecuted to a successful conclusion. Not until the murderers of this innocent child are apprehended and properly pun- ished can society afford to write “finis” to the record in this case. For, until that is done, no mother can be assured that this foul deed will not be repeated. If it goes un- punished it is an open invitation to others to attempt similar outrages. If such a thing can be done with impunity to the great, well-loved and wealthy, what might not happen to the less obscure citizen, protected “though he may be by that very ob- security. It is banal to say that the heart of America goes out to the parents in their bereavement, for never have People felt so keenly about anyone with whom they had no personal con- tact as they do about the Lindberghs. The most famous young couple in the world, their child was the most famous infant in the world. Pictures of his curly head and-chubby hands oo ge Two Significant Reports (An Editorial) ‘Those interested in the financial structure of North Dakota should study closely two very significant reports issued by depart- ments of the present state administration. Conditions indicated may not arouse a calloused electorate still tipsy in its spending spree but. there is food for thought in the pages of these reports; a challenge to the attention of even a superficial student of state affairs. Why is ine siate ailowed to drift along? Does anyone really care? What candidate for public office will have the necessary fortitude to challenge the whole business in the interest of tax- payers and their posterity who will be paying for present folly for generations to come? What are the reports you ask? One is issued out of the office of Land Commissioner W. E. Byerly and the other is from the facile pen of C. F. Mudgett, man- ager of the Bank of North Dakota, issued by his board of direc- tors, George F. Shafer, governor; James Morris, attorney general, and Joseph A. Kitchen, commissioner of immigration and labor. In the Byerly report is the astounding news that $2,210,977 of the state's trust funds is tied up in farm land foreclosures and delinquent interest. More than $9,000,000 more is in active farm loans. Just what percentage of these loans will become foreclosures and add to the state’s fast-increasing domain of public lands is speculative. Turning to the Bank of North Dakota report there are some other startling figures. Land has been acquired through foreclosure by the state in the grand total of 267,053.41 acres and the total cost of acquisition, without interest, has been $3,974,040.98. Of the total foreclosed, 213,144.30 acres remain off the tax rolls and Mr. Farmer, who has always believed the rural credit department of the Bank of North Dakota was an unmixed blessing, finds that his taxes necessarily have shot up as this land escheated to the state and is now tax-free. By adding the increase in taxes, any farmer who happens to have a state loan probably will find that he is paying as heavy if not heavier rates of interest than if he applied to federal agencies or to private sources. The truth of some of North Da- kota's noble experiments in the hands of “noble” statesmen is coming to the surface. It is a question of how much longer the voters of the state are going to swallow the old hokum. The state has loaned some $39,000,000 in farm loans through the Bank of North Dakota. There have been heavy defaults and more will follow. The time is not far distant when the Bank of North Dakota, which is carrying, like the Mill and Elevator at Grand Forks, an “Amos and Andy” operating profit on its books, will be forced to charge off its bad debts. Then of course, like the Mill and Elevator, it will be hopelessly in the red and the true picture will finally have to be given to the people, some of whom are sady befuddled on the whole situation. ‘There is little truth in present political twaddle. Then again, that day is not far distant when the state board of equalization will have to put into the general tax levy an as- sessment upon the people of this state to make good the losses of both the bank and the land department. It is going to take per- sonal and political fortitude to face that music and the day of atonement cannot be postponed forever. Begging the issue may serve through this political campaign, but the whole sorry mess created by the existence of the Mill and Elevator and the meth- ods of operation of the State Land Department and the Loan De- partment of the Bank of North Dakota must be cleaned up some day. It won't be a pleasant task for any state official. This state must pick men then who will have the courage to face that task. North Dakotans will hear much ranting about radicalism and state socialism in the next few weeks. It will come from candi- dates for office who, for four-years, have sat tight and seen this situation go from bad to worse. These times call for courage of the highest type. It workt do to fix the blame or seek alibis. Steps must be taken ere loitg to revamp the whole credit structure of North Dakota and. while our little world is in 80 much economic misery anyway, the truth had better be known now and steps taken to save and Protect the credit of our beloved state. Is there enough fortitude and courage in any of the candi- dates to face the music now and tell the voters what they are going to do about the situation? Now is the time to speak up in meeting. Correction here will in time ease the tax burden more than the Passage of any of the ill-advised measures which are finding their way to the ballot. ‘These measures are protests against outrageous taxes and are going to get more support than most people think, but they represent in tax reductions only 2 drop in the bucket as compared to the stu- Pendous waste going on elsewhere in our state and local govern- ments.

It is surely high time something was done. he thinks that some of them have a lot more artistic worth; but no mat- ter what he does or where he goes, he is still known as the author of “The Man With the Hoe,” and he’s getting @ bit tired of it. All of which, of course, is just an- other interesting little sidelight on the way fame works. People like to couple a man’s name with one outstanding feat. Once they do this the man’s fame is secure, and he can bask in the knowledge that he won't be forgotten; but he may event- ually find, as Mr. Markham has found, that he will never be given credit for doing anything else. From that mo- ment on he is a one-achievement man, Consider, for instance, Richmond P. Hobson, whose long public career faded into nothing, in the public mind, | beside the fact that he sank the Mer- ; rimac at the mouth of Santiago har- | bor during the Spanish War. | Then there are James Monroe, about whom the ordinary citizen knows absolutely nothing except that while president he formulated the Monroe doctrine; and Aaron Burr, re- membered solely because he killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel; and Henry Clay, about whom we recall nothing except that he had a pleasing knack of devising compromises; and Stephen A.

Sci- entifically there is no evidence to support the view that cooking in either type of utensils is to any se- {rious extent detrimental to the hu- man body. Nevertheless, there are certain qualities that must be inherent in any type of, utensil used in cooking. | First, it must not depreciate the quality of the food. If the cooking utenstl adds anything to the taste of the food or distorts it in any way, it is not a good cooking utensil. This perhaps should not apply to liquors aged in wood. Second, the cooking utensils should not destroy any of the important in- gredients of the food.

The man noticed with idle interest that his companion’s frock was by far the most outrageously reveal- ing in the place. In front the bodice was demurely cut but there was the merest ribbon at the back. Denise's mother, a futile, nervous little woman, had spent hours try- ing to argue the girl out of wear- ing it. What were young girls thinking of nowadays, he wondered idly. They wore gowns which 10 years ago would have been dared only by women of the half world. “What are you thinking of?” The long lashed, provocative eyes of the girl opposite flashed Waring challengingly. She was really extraordinarily effective in an ex- otic way, the man reflected. Like a Michael Arlen heroine with that dead white skin and scarlet mouth. He knew the answer to that one and promptly supplied it, “You, of course.” i A waiter filled their glasses with pale, sparkling, golden liquid, The girl drained hers thirstily. ° For a moment Waring was con- scious of engulfing boredom. Why had he come? Surely if there was anything melancholy in the world it was a New Year's eve party. He supposed one had to do something but these youngsters made him feel like Methuselah. “I know your boy,” he said abruptly. “That’s young Dunbar, isn't it?” She nodded.. “Good number Bobby is most of the time—when he’s not in a state.” Waring wasn't interested but he threw the conversational ball again. “What puts him in a state?” “Oh, nothing—anything. He's temperamental, I’m going to marry him one of these days, 80 he'd bet- ter snap out of it.” . Something clicked in Waring’s mind, “You're going to—ob, I see! I didn’t remember hearing it.” . “It hasn't been announced,” Denise said. “It's just one of those things.” “You don’t seem too enthusias- tie,” the man said. Denise’s glass had been filled again.

Third, the utensil should not discol- or the food. Finally, it should not add to the food any substance harm- ful to human health. In order to find out whether or not aluminum utensils would meet these criteria, a number of workers in an eastern laboratory have made a se- ries of tests on foods cooked in alu- minum vessels. For purpose of com- parison the same foods were cooked at the same time in vessels made of glass, In general it was found that clean aluminum cooking utensils are attacked to an insignificant degree by foods of neutral reaction. However, acid foods or foods to which baking soda has been added dissolve small amounts of aluminum from the cooking utensil. If sugar is present, the amount of corrosion of the aluminum cooking utensil is less. 1Catch in a gunlock. 5 Where is Stockholm? 11 Capital of Switzerland. epical events. 18 True olive shrub. 19 Indi 20 Mister. 22 To woo. _ 23 Baking dish. 24 Data. 25 IV. 27 Northwest. 28 Afternoon = meal. 29 Hard. 32 Totals, 34 Drug. | 35 To stupity. 38 Seriously. 41 To meow. 42 Exclamation. 44 Breatea_{ 60 Harasses. * 61To inhume, %; 45 To bind. 3 46 Constellation. » VERTICAL * 47 Scarlet.~ —-#— 1 Love song | 49 Per. »'50 Wager. #51 River near if oe Mt, Etna. +. §2Girl, 54 Organ iot ++ hearing. 55 Pungent seasoning. 56 At what elec: candidates .. chosen? 59 Reluctant. + amusing now, was something he wanted to find out. “Don't be that way,” Denise ad- monished’him, “Of course he does|self to please.
