(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) (CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON No Place for the Red Cross Anyone who has watched the mag- | nificent work done by the Red Cross } in North Dakota during the last two years will agree that this great or-/ ganization should be kept out of poli- | tics. Members of all political factions contribute to it and assist it in its work. Respect for it and for the de- cencies of humanity should dictate that it be left alone to do its work without political candidacies being at- tached to it in an effort to shine in the reflection of its glory. To his credit let it be said that Gov- ernor Shafer has himself claimed no credit for his activities in Red Cross work. He did his share but no more so than thousands of other North Da- kotans, of all political faiths, who gave of what they had that their neighbors might live. Many of the governor's campaign managers, however, have taken to the hustings with a red flag in one hand, calling on the people to see and take heed, and with a Red Cross flag in the other. The latter is symbolic of their claim that their candidate saved ‘the people of the state who needed help. The inference is that he did it alone and single-handed. That sort of thing is nauseating. Candidates George F. Shafer, Gerald P. Nye, Frank H. Hyland and on down the list did no more to assist the Red } Cross in its work, their positions con- | sidered, than hundreds of thousands of other North Dakotans who organ- ized gladly to meet an apparent need. Not one of them gave as much, in! Proportion, as the man who was} helped in 1931 by the American Le- gion’s Open Your Heart campaign and who, in 1932, gave one of his! mighty few dollars to the renewal of} that enterprise. To drag the Red Cross into the North Dakota political campaign this year is a confession of weakness which | the governor and his advisors should} guard against. In justice to himself, the governor should ask his support- ers, publicly, if this ballyhoo contin- ues, to find another pedestal upon which to hold him up for public ad- miration. The reaction against seeking to cap- italize Red Cross activities politically already has set in. It may prove a Powerful boomerang. And, as supporters of the Red Cross, ‘we reiterate, it is not a partisan or- ganization. Need (and not political need) is the measure of its service. ‘Whoever drags it into politics does it ‘an evil turn. The Grain-Trade Cat Plenty of black cats should leap out of the grain-marketing bag when the _grain futures commission, consisting of the secretary of agriculture, attor- | ney general and secretary of com- | merce, opens its hearing June 8 at ‘Washington on charges brought by the Farmers National Grain corpora- tion against the Chicago Board of Trade. Action was taken at the request of the farm board's cooperative agency after its trading firm had been barred from the exchange. It is not to be supposed that the board of trade suffered a sudden spasm of conscientious horror when it found the cooperative commission firm had technically violated one of its rules. A more reasonable view seems to be that the board’s directors felt the time was ripe for a showxiown on this much-discussed question. The grain trade feels that the Hoover ad- 29 | idea of taking a flower from its na- bushes to purloin a few flowers or who, even now, are making raids on the numerous spirea bushes which add The Cussword Puzzle such charm to many sections of Bis- marck, The practice is to be condemned, of course, although all of us have either ylelded to the same temptation at some time or other or have at least felt its urge. However, the best argument against the practice is that it defeats the ends of those who engage in it. The tural setting is born, usually, in the desire which all of us know, to cap- ture the beauty which appeals to us. If we yield to that thought without foresight or analysis, the result may well be a ruined bush, a damaged flower bed. If, however, we stop to realize that the attempt to capture the beauty which so impresses us, inevitably re- sults in its destruction, we may stay our hands, For beauty is a perishable thing. The spirited action of a horse, the tense interest of a dog in the field, ithe flash of a bird on the wing, or the sway of a flower on its stem, all disappear the moment we attempt to capture them and make them our own. Why Not Two Canals? Extension of a deep waterway up the Hudson river to Albany and the painful slowness with which negotia- tions for the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence waterway are progressing, may well raise the question of why not two outlets to the sea? The Hudson river channel to Al- bany now will accommodate 90 per cent of the ocean-going vessels of the world and makes of New York state's ELSE CAN 1 USE.

Extending westward from Albany is the old Erie canal, which advocates of the so-called All-American water- way would resuscitate and make a great artery of commerce once more. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease Y . SAN, WHAT If it were in position to accommodate deep-water ships it would materially improve the transportation facilities to our own northwest, even though the results would hardly be as satis- factory as via the St. Lawrence route. So far as the northwest is con- cerned, however, we cannot have too much water transportation from the head of the lakes eastward. If wa- ter-borne goods could be sent to and from the northwest both by way of the St. Lawrence and the Hudson, it would be a benefit. While not as im- portant as a direct and cheap route to Liverpool, a water connection with New York and the lower Atlantic Coast is not to be sneezed at. Add to this the proper development of the Mississippi-Missouri rivers for inland barge transportation and we may well see the return of the water commerce which first opened the middle west to settlement—but on a new and much} cheaper basis, The New Casanova. Some unintentionally humorous lit- tle stories occasionally land in the newspapers; humorous because of some accident of name or situation, they stick in the mind like consciously contrived jests. The other day, for instance, in Spain, a young chap was arrested for destroying the statue of a nude woman in an art gallery. He explained that his fiancee had posed for the statue, and that the sight of her likeness ex- hibited in a public place outraged all of his finer sensibilities. What's funny about that? Oh, nothing much. Only it just hap- Pened, in the infinite fitness of things, that the outraged young man’s name was Casanova.

New York, June 1—As Broadway's most experienced and oldest animal trouper, Hannah is oddly ingenuous and untemperamental. She will still accept mere cubes or greens from @ gutter adjoining a stage ‘entrance. Yet, as horses go, Hannah has every right to put on the dog. Hannah's particular distinction lies in the fact that she has never been @ performing or trick horse—she has been an acting horse! And for 18 years she has been going around the circuits. Whenever a show company has wanted a nag in that period of time, the phone request would usually be “What's Hannah doing?” Hannah has been dependable, never has missed @ cue, never demanded special billing and didn’t care much whether or not her m&me was on the program. * * * And she has appeared with most of the great stars of the theater. Insofar as her biography has been assembled, she seems to have first bowed in as Paul Revere’s horse in an old stage spectacle. Others say her premiere was‘in “Ben Hur.” At any rate, ad- mirers insist that she was the first stage horse of any consequence. xk # It was Vincent Lopez who had Han- nah on tour most recently. Lopez was appearing in Chicago. And there it was that Hannah had her most em- barrassing moment. Harry Keller, booking for Lopez, had tied Hannah while waiting her entrance time. When the stage hand went outside to get her, Hannah was wearing a tag. There was a summons for parking a horse. Keller, realizing what arrest might do to Hannah's career, immediately checked the Chicago regulations and came upon a venerable hitching post ordinance. A horse was entitled to be hitched to a hitching post. And where, demanded _ Keller, could a hitching post be found? There was no answer. And, seem- ingly, in all Chicago there was no! hitching post. Then, argued Keller, since Hannah was entitled by law to @ post and there was no post, she had | done the best she could. | So Hannah returns to New York with reputation unblemished, ** * i STREET SCENE Instead of being one of the usual little German band groups that now! wander the New York side streets by night or by day, this musician played alone.
