(Official City, State and County Daily by carrier, per year Newspaper) Foreign Re itatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Proved by the Years When North Dakota's corn growers @ather here next week for their tenth | annual state corn show it will be a vastly different proposition from the first faint burgeonings of a few en- thusiasts in the distant past. When white men came to this coun- try they found fields of maize or In- dian corn. Unquestionably it was one of the first crops ever to be grown in this Missouri valley. A few took heed of the fact and this section has never entirely ignor- ed the value of this great crop. The first settlers brought corn with them or acquired seed from the Indians, but it never was a major crop until recent years. For the white man brought with him also his own ideas and concep- tions and successful operation of great wheat farms in the eastern part of this state made the bread grain king in North Dakota. Because wheat was successfully grown in the Red River valley, there was a tendency to con- tinue that success as settlers moved westward. Thus it was that North} Dakota gained fame as the bread; basket of the world. Strawburners snorted at threshing time and the golden grain reigned supreme. Corn} was almost lost sight of as a major crop. But further development of the country caused a turn in the tide. ‘Wheat did not always do well. There came dry years and the observant noted that at such times corn was a better crop than wheat. Also there was the question of feed and forage for livestock, for diversi- fied farming was coming into its own. ‘The vast ranches and ranges had been broken up into farms and one-crop farming no longer was profitable. Another noticeable fact was that those who had always raised at least) @ little corn generally fared better) than their neighbors. They had cat- tle to market, and the pig, the dairy cow and the hen were beginning to assume a more important part in the} economic scheme of things. Pigs and! livestock mean the need for corn, and | 8o the value of this crop increased | and more acreage was given to it. Oscar H. Will and others preached the gospel far and wide and there| were plenty of illustrations to point the moral. As the need became more and more apparent the acreage of corn | increased. Finally, enthusissm for what this crop could mean to this section if it were given more emphasis brought) the state corn show into being. | Like many another project of vast} Towa, It may become known as the on “where the good corn grow: kota’s corn is second in quality to none raised elsewhere in the world. The Tribune thinks of this future as well as of the background of the corn show and the grain itself as it jreaffirms, with all the friendliness {and hospitality possible, the welcome |which this city extends to every corn show visitor. No Cause to Worry Any consideration of North Dako- ta’s political future must take into account the actions of the next legis- lature. In scope and authority it may outrank any state officer or any group of officers, for it makes the laws and pulls the purse strings. . | Within the broad limits of the state |constitution, the legislature tells us} all what we may and may not do. The problems which confront it will | be many and pressing. Its work will be watched with keen interest by all} citizens who will look to it to prescribe {remedies for the numerous ills of the body politic. { Some will look with fear and trept- | dation, but these are mostly those timid souls who resent and oppose all change and who are eternally secking @ blue-print upon which they can pin their hopes if not their faith. ! To be sure, you cannot blueprint a |legislature, any more than you can blueprint any other large body of| people, for when the state's lawmakers meet it is the people who speak through their elected representatives. Different sections may have different viewpoints and opposing ideas but, when these are resolved with open THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.

In the senate there will be such men as A. F. Bonzer, Jr., of Lidgerwood; Dr. E.C. Stucke of Garrison and some time-tried war horses who know | all the ropes. Bonzer, especially, should be valua- ble to the people of the state as a whole as well as to the voters of his own district. He represents a type which has been all foo rare in North Dakota at various times in the past. He is a progressive businessman who understands full well that business prosperity depends on farm prosperity. | He is progressive without being radi- a debt for his work in straightening | cut many of the entanglements in its | highway laws. A fighter, Bonzer has always bat- tled in the interests of the common people. He has distinguished himself in this respect in the past and so has won the respect of both political! friend and foe. With men like him in the legislature there will be little cause for either the friends of pro-| gress or those who fear excessive radi-{ calism to worry. The next session will be a meeting | of progressive minded men but it wil! hardly be a radical one.

Today we have many farmers in No:th Dakota who devote moze acreage to corn that to wheat. The value and quality of the crop has shown steady increase and improve- ment. The scoffers of yesterday are the converts of today. Corn has brought with it new pos- sibilities and new hopes, even in times such as the#. In good years and in poor ones it has demonstrated its worth, It passed the experimental stage long ago and now is as basic a part of agricultural economics as is ‘wheat. The one corn show of yester year thas been supplanted by scores in all sections of the state, held each year as @ preliminary to the state exhibit at Bismarck. This exhibit now is a sort of big brother to others where the interest is keen and intense. ~ Ome of these days North Dakota may have @ slogan to rival that of equality in floggings does not exist.

Sh has Ben Told that since she meas- ures only 13 inches from hip to hip (of course she means from anterior superior spine of the ilium to the same point of the opposite ilium across the belly) her husband's child would likely be too large for her to bear... Well, that’s far enough to go in this sordid recital. My advice to the skinny woman is to give Ben ‘Told the air, also Mrs. Sumsey and Sairygamp, and settle down now to raise her family. | At the age of 35 to 40 years a wom- an is or should be in her prime phy- sically, and better fitted for mother- hood than ever before. In fact wom- en of that age who achieve the hap- piness of maternity generally have a normal, easy delivery, and not a hard time as the old harpies would have them imagine. A woman is as old as she feels. I have never known of disaster or regret coming to the woman who bears her first baby at that age, that is, anything that could fairly be at- tributed to her mature age. The measurement the thin woman gives doesn’t mean anything, because olemnly declares inches tall a independent of the breadth of the} hips.

CD | Answer—The problem is, how to let ithe publisher know without making him think I think he is thinking of canning my column. Photographers’ hypo—hyposulphite of soda, former- ly called thiosulphate—has proved an excellent local remedy for ivy poison- {ing and also for ringworm. It is best applied as a lotion, 1% ounces of hypo dissolved in a pint of water. Or the solution may be applied on cloths or a bandage kept constantly wet for an hour or longer.

A. fellow- Passenger, whom she had previously met on the boat coming from Hawaii, recognizes Fanchon. CHAPTER IL Mrs. Eames was getting herself settled with jerky gestures. “You know each other,” she beamed... “how nice!” Her manner was pink tea, The girl called Miss Smith who had just been addressed as Fanchon Meredith murmured some- thing. She had flushed and her heart was beating unsteadily. The other girl supplied the date. “Of course . .. we came to San Francisco from Hawaii on the same boat, months ago,” she said, and added reproachfully, “Why didn’t you look me up, you said you would!” quoise blue eyes, briefly. “I’ve been so busy .. .” she said. “So have I—only imagine,” the { other girl began when suddenly there was a shout... acall... high, clear, triumphant, after the field- man’s signal, Contact!

Because of the noise of the motors Evelyn’s voice been pitched high, Now she leaned nearer to Fanchon. “My dear, the most marvellous thing has happened to me!” she said. “What has?” asked Fanchon, a lit- tle wearily, But she tried to force some animation into her glance; her response. She was to travel with this girl as her companion, she was forced into intimacy with her.

Poor Dad, he was a struggling Professor of English and mother had been presented at Court and all the rest of it and was supposed to make a good marriage. Later, before mother died Aunt Jennie, the only one left of the family, tried to make overtures. But. mother was proud and Dad wouldn’t let her be savthitg else. Then after Dad’s death I went to school teach- ing. And now, Aunt Jennie is back, after all these years and wants me to make my home with her. She traced me, easily enough, and sent for me to come East. She wired me ney and told me to come as quickly as I could as she had plans for. me, So—lI decided to fly. I've pinays wanted to make a long ight. . .” “You've never seen her?” asked Fanchon curiously, roused out of. herself by the girl’s story. “No. Nor she me. Not even a good photograph. All she knows is that I have dark hair and blue eyes, «+. I wrote her that much, It's hard to describe yourself,” said Evelyn self-consciously and I didn’t have even a decent snapshot except the one taken of the two of us on the boat... do you remember? I sent that one,” she said, \ She drew a deep breath. “No more teaching,” she said, “no more—snything. I’m so happy,” confessed Evelyn. Fanchon looked at her. She en- vied her to the bottom of her soul. This girl was flying toward happi- ness. Toward something more than happiness; toward peace, safety, security, toward people of her own, someone to whom she belonged, who would care for her, Fanchon felt her heart constrict with anguish. Happiness meant s0 little, She had been happy. for a while, with Ton: meeting the dark, ardent eyes, lis ening to the deep, ardent voice, see- ing him smile, feeling his strong, brown hand—Tony’s hand... she shuddered to think of it now—upon her own feeling his lips on hers.

Everything to her. She could not remember her mother, Only her father, her companion for twenty happy years, years which had run past swiftly and silently as sand from an hourgiass. The young man in the Eames petty spoke to Evelyn, his eyes on ‘anchon as he did so. The elderly woman leaned forward and said, nervously, “I do hope I’m not going to be air sick!” The steward came from his mysterious, small quarters and started serving bouillon and sandwiches and answering the ques- tions flung at him, In a very short space of time all the occupants of the cabin-plan seemed to draw to- gether and become friends, as if their common adventure made conspira- tors of them. “Ohl” said Evelyn, “isn’t it ex- citing?” The air was rough, for the mo- ment. The sky was partly clouded over and it was very-warm. Heat bumps were noticeable and Evelyn squealed in her rather simpering fashion. “Just like a scenic railway!" she commented, Mrs. Eames turned slightly green and regarded the sand- wich she held in her hand with an expression of fixed distaste. The steward looked anxious, “Is this your first flight, Miss Smith?” asked the Eames boy. Fanchon did not answer. When he repeated his question, she started and flushed, looking toward Evelyn, But Evelyn was chattering with Mr. Eames and had not heard, ‘Yes,” replied Fanchon, briefly. “You are awfully calm about it!’* Roger Eames remarked, smiling, She looked out of the window at the tremendous vista beyond and about and below them, She nodded, without speaking. Queer girl, he thought, turning to Evelyn. Much better looking than the other, but difficult, He disliked difficult’ wo- men, Calm?
