Paris, April 19.-Lieutenant Fon-
tan, the French aviator, has started
on his third attempt at a trans-Atlan-
tic flight from Africa to Brazil. He
left Villa Coublay for Casa Blancha

distance from Villa Coudlay to Rio
de Janeiro being $500 miles.
Fontan's first flight was made
March 16, but he was forced to land
on account of engine trouble. The Sec

a mishap with the engine. He was
in the air one hour on his second at
tempt.

WHY NOT LET THE BANKS DO IT
We are always looking around for

George.
About the first question asked in
the matter of the Victory Loan is,
"Why not let the banks do it,"
Secretary Carter Glass has told
why in nutshell. He said recently:
''The debt of America should be
held by the American people and not
concentrated in the banks. Not only
because by such countrywide distribu-
than can the banks be kept in liquid
condition to meet the demands of
trade, but because only by such distri
button can the war debt be paid out of
the savings of the country instead OF
by additional borrowing.
"The American business man looks
to the banks for the necessary credit
to enable him to conduct his business,
to restock his depleted shelves, to
start his plants manufacturing. What
would be the attitude of his bank to-
wards a request for credit if it were
compelled to absorb huge amount of
government securities ?"
So that this Victory Loan is not
only a loan for war but loan for a
quick return of good business condi-
tons. 1t will leave the banks and bus
mess in fine shape to carry on.
This is the last cloud to be cleared
away.
One other objection is made to the
Loan. 1t is this, ut is going to be
hard to sell the Victory Bonds now
that the stimulus of the war is over
1t is going to be hard. All the more
reason why the real American citizen
should get his shoulder under the load
and push his financial bit. War pa
triotism is easier than peace patriot
ism. There will be cutters. Anc
something will have to be added tc
our share to make up for these quit.
tiers.
We believe that there is patriotism
and common sense enough left tt
make this not the hardest but thu
easiest loan of all to place. Think o.
1t. You are not paying to get the
boys across to be killed or wounded
but to get them back to their homes
and to their natural work.
| One last objection to this loan or tt
any loan is that "You can't get bloo<
out of hard boiled egg" There are
! the hard-boiled in every community
Granted. Do you wish to be enrolled
in their ranks on this important and
please God, final drive against the
horrors of war and the possibility o:
the rule of Over-Lords on this free
! earth?
Don't wait for somebody else t
crack your shell. Pick it yourself.
Don't be the community hard boil
! ed egg.

ON THE EVE OF VICTORY

Once a year at Thanksgiving time
we take stock of the things that we
have to be thankful for. On the eve
of the Victory Loan, it is good plan
for every man to set aside little
Thanksgiving hour in which to con-
slider the responsibilities he is about
to assume in this last big drive for his
government, and to consider why he
should go into the Victory Loan with
confidence and with enthusiasm. The
northwest is prosperous. 1t has come
through the war with moderate sac
rlfices of men and with no very great
injury to it's ordinary business activ-
tiles, and with highly honorable rec
ord of achievement. Our adverse bal
ance against a tremendous physical
and moral victory is small.
A great war has been fought and
won. We backed the government in
the declaration Of war. We backed
the president in the call for volun-
teers. We backed the military arms
in tremendous response to the draft,
which was met with enthusiasm and
in the spirit of service. Four times
before we have bought bonds accord
ing to the injunction of the secretary
Of the Treasury until it hurt"
There are still men to bring home,
and there are still bills to pay. 1t is
unthinkable that the Ninth District
will even hesitate to pay it's just share
of the obligations of its government.
When we buy bonds, we pay these OBJ
legations. We must buy bonds out of
our savings and out of our prospec-
tive savings. The slogan new is,
there fore, ''Buy, Save, and Pay Up"
The Ninth Districts quota will be
fair. The terms and rate of interest
will, am sure be fair-fair to the
and fair to the subscrib-
ers. In the last loan we proved that,

The city police department and 9TH
ers yesterday performed a good deed
for some of our business men which
we personally think is showing the
finest kind Of spirit. The easements
of various merchants had been filled
with water endangering the spelling
of thousands of dollars worth Of goods
and merchandise. The boys took out
the big fire engine and pumped out
several of these easements. This was
a good deed and one which the Times
Record most highly commends. 1t is
taking the broader view of life in
stead of the narrow, contracted idea
that it would be wrong to use city
property to help out neighbor in
distress. The fact of the matter is
that fire apparatus is the property Of
the whole city-every tax payer in
the city is helping pay for it and it is
their property. Therefore why
shouldn't it be used for such good pur-
poses? We hope there is not single
soul in the entire city who would raise
protest. Acting Mayor L. G. Moul-
trie, who is acting during the absence
from the city Of Mayor Moe, instantly
gave his permission to use the big fire
fighter, and we feel sure that had the
mayor been home he would also have
done the same thing We are glad we
have some real big hearted men in Of
fice-the people certainly will appre-
ciate them and their efforts and to the
boys who went out and accomplished
these good deeds we say well DONE"

The Minot Daily News got out
splendid boom edition a few days ago
showing up the resources of Minot and
Ward county. The paper contained
one hundred and four pages of good
material showing up the advantages

We are printing on the first page of

SON of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Olsen. This

for new beginner we consider that
he is doing remarkably we'll and If
he sticks to the job will develop into
a good cartoonist. Arthur is one OF
the high school students and during
his leisure hours puts in his time TAX
ing lessons in cartooning and drawing.
We expect to have other pictures
drawn by him in the near future. Car
looming landed one man in congress
from this state-John NJ. Baer. May
be Mr.. Olsen will get so proficient that
he will also land in congress. We
hope so.
THINK IN INTEREsT-sAvE-
Commencing next Monday we open
a drive in Barnes county for the sale
of the Victory Bonds and we have been
allotted the task of buying 100000
worth of these bonds 1t might seem
a big lot on the face of it, but taking
past experiences as a criterion it is a
small job after all. Barnes county is
one of the richest counties in the state
has more rich men in it, perhaps
than any county with like population
and it should be no trouble to raise
that amount of money for bonds for
such a patriotic purpose. We have
always gone over the top in past
drives and we should not fall by the
wayside just at time when the gov
eminent needs US to get behind it to
push this drive over to success. Uncle
Sam needs the money to pay his bills
see that the soldier boys pay checks
are made good and to see that the
bills incurred by this great humani-
tartan war are paid in full. Do you
want to see his credit impaired? You
do not. We have faith that you will
do your part and do it right. Next
week will tell whether or not we have
misjudged the people of Barnes
county.

not, as a rule, the leisure to deliberate
In the production of a newspaper;
what is done must be done quickly,
and the remarkable fact is not that so
much careless writing finds it's way in
TO print. but that the infractions OF the
academic rules and canons are few in
proportion to the number of chances
offered in so many crowded columns of
text. Most of this pedantic criticism
concerns itself with such picayune
matters as the split infinitive.
Can 1t fairly be said that the letters
of persons who consider themselves in
polite society" are as a rule better
written than the newspapers that are
admitted to their homes?
The we'll equipped journalist must
possess himself of a store of general
information on a diversity of topics.
and. like the lawyer, must be able to
acquaint himself at short notice with
other subjects previously unfamiliar.
There are many educated men who
realizing the need of keeping abreast
of current events described in succinct
straightforward fashion. would dis
bense with a large part Of their work
ing libraries rather than give up the
newspaper, which, If properly edited
and written. is the most valuable ad-
junct OF a liberal education.

expression they tell "the whole story"
The vigor. the vitality, the linear lyri-
cism that enthralls in so many OF the
drawings that attracted Roman ar
lists and teachers and parents to
the admirable Bragaglia Galleries
were nothing less than a defiance
Of teaching. For Romano Dazzi
cannot be said to draw from
life" He is no copyist. Most of his
remarkable war drawings were in
spired by the news movies" We are
not informed that Romano even makes
notes on papers while he is studying
his subjects. The Italian writer has
written an interesting description OF
young Dazzi studying movement and
action in Roman Gina. There,
silent, in the darkness, pressed back
against his seat like a spring in box,
with only his alert, intelligent head
stretching out toward the luminous
screen, his eyes opened wide. his nos
trils quivering. his mouth open as
though athirst, and pushing back a
stray blond lock from his forehead
every once in a while, Romano Dazzi
watches the war. OR, rather, he
watches soldiers in the thick of the
fight. The landscape is sad, livid.
smoky, fiat, nondescript and without
color. But that does not matter to
him. He notes every action, every
expression, every movement Of the in
fantry, the artillery. the marines. He
studies all their guns, all their trap
pings and uniforms. The officials do
not interest him; they are like towns
people, peaceful people. But the SOL
der who is under fire, who is advanc-
ing or retreating, who is fighting or
who is dying-this is his god. To
Romano such soldier is holy
martyr. a man who is giving every
thing, doing everything. suffering
everything and working miracles.
Here is the apparition that electrifies
him, elevates him, captures him and
pervades his every being"
Such was one of the sources of his
inspiration. In an article recently
published in the IHuStrdzione Itdliand
Antonio Baldini gives us a vivid de-
scription of the boy at work. His
smaller brother hangs over his Shout
der (Romano is the leader of his
"gang"). AS the drawing progresses, the
, draughtsman and his brother grow
ing excited as the soldiers go into
action under his incisive pencil, they
begin to shout with excitement. The
cannons boom from their mouths as
Romano points them on the paper.
Then, on still another sheet of paper
hastily seized-arrives a swifter mo-
torcyclist bent over his throbbing
machine! So these drawings become
thrilling game. They are not merely

a substitute for certain classics which
are now used as textbooks of rhetoric
and grammar.
The love of literature is not en-
couraged among children by the
minute analysis OF those who would
apply "the laboratory method" to the
printed word. Sometimes the fact
that a book was read under forced
draught. as part OF the compulsory
schedule prescribed by a committee
for entrance to college. has created
a positive disaffection for the author
in question that has persisted into
later life. Some Of the works chosen

sons who had forgotten what children

movies sketches Of men, women, chill
dren, animals. Romano Is lad Of is,
son of a Carrarese sculptor who lives
in Rome where the boy himself was
born. He has drawn practically all
his life. Surely there is international
significance in this exposition. This
display Of Romano's inexhaustible
storehouse of vitality, so brilliantly
finding expression without the aid OF
instruction, unspoiled by the acade-
mics, permitted by parents whose wis
dom should serve as an example for all
parents to express and develop his
extraordinary talent unhindered by
'don'ts,' surely this exhibition should
interest us, not as a sensational spec
tacle OF precocity-Romano is not one
OF those infant prodigy pests-but as
a sign of talent that is so often eradi-
Gated from children by the incompe-
tence of art teachers.
AS Signor Ugo Ojetti suggests in
the introduction to the splendid folio
of drawings recently published by the
new Roman art journal, the Vdlori
Pldctici. these drawings will be of the
greatest value If they reawaken con-
sideration of the whole question Of
the teaching of art in public schools.
Have rules and regulations, professors,
models, medals, contests and honors
ever produced the moving and positive
results that have grown out of Ro-
mano Dazzi's passionate interest in
drawing?
Needless to say, this talent did not
grow and bloom like a weed. 1t was
| guarded and cherished by artistic
parents. 1t was watched 1t was al
| lowed to evolve. The helpful sugges-
ton at the proper moment was not
wanting. This talent. not unworthy
| now to be called genius, is an evolu-
| ton. And in this evolution Romano
has paralleled the evolution Of the art
of the human race. Signor Ojetti tells us
that Romano's earliest drawings were
line pictures, expressing or indicating
ideas rather than copies of natural
objects. To him walls. windows and
roofs did not mean those of any house
but of the house in which he himself
lived, his own home. His infantile
pictures of a man walking were al
ways of one particular man-his own
papa!
Thus began the exceptional develop
ment of the visual memory Of the
boy. This power has not been de-
veloped consciously. but instinctively
and with the aid of an interest sc
powerful that he has been discovered
sitting up all night drawing on num-
berless sheets of paper lines that are
as meaningless as were the proof
sheets of Balzac-until in their fina
