return games and the Minot curriers'
have already begun making their
plans for entertainment. 1t is go
ing to be hard matter to equal the
entertainments furnished by those
cities. For more than four years,
while Canada was in the war, scarce
ly banquet of any kind was given
and these functions given in honor Of
the Minot guests were the first Of the
kind since 1914. What made the
affairs so pleasant was the fact that
the entertainers seemed to be get
ting just about as much fun out Of it
as the guests themselves. The Minot
curriers' will never forget the good
time they had on their visit to those
wide awake Canadian cities.

solar report which says: Consider
able interest has been aroused in Eng
land over the announcement that
Birmingham has placed a substantial
order for steel rails with an American
firm. Tenders were invited for the
supply of 1000 tons of steel rails.
Three responses only were received.
two of them from British concerns
and one from an American firm.
These tenders were considered in the
light of both price and early delivery.
The price was not only lower than
either of the British tenders but. in re-
gard to delivery, the American firm
|, promised to complete the contract by
the end of April or the beginning OF
May. while the British firms would
give no guaranty as to the date of de-
livery. The desire was to award the
contract to a British rather than to a
foreign firm, but as it was necessary
to have the work completed during
the summer months, early delivery
was essential, and the American firms
offer had, therefore. to be accepted
Another point which was considered
was the fact that English-made rails

HOW ABOUT A BUDGET?

Regardless of the fact that the ma
tional platforms of both political
parties have declared in favor of
budget system, congress probably will
feel that there are pressing too many
more important measures to permit of
its taking up the subject at this ses-
sion. But are there any matters more
important to all the people than the
budget system?
There is no attempt, at least no or
ganized, systematized attempt on the
part of the government to adjust its
expenditures to it's receipts. The re-
ceipts are always adjusted to it's ex-
penditures. That is, the work is I'M
dertaken and taxes levied to pay for
it without regard to whether the I'M
dertaking is going to increase the tax
burden beyond the point the people
should be called upon to bear.
At any rate. congress, which appro-
PIRATES the money. would be able to
see what it was wanted for and what
last years appropriations had been
spent for, and the members would be
able to come to a sensible decision as
or was going to be spent, and they
would know in advance whether they
would be obliged to shoulder the
odium of Ievying burdensome taxes.
And the man in the street who pays
these taxes would be able to see where
his money was going.
This government spent more than
$40, 900. 100000 in 1918. Twenty bill
lion dollars. it is estimated, is a $50
bill every minute from the time Christ
was born until the day the Great War
began.
A national budget system would eff
feet a saving. If that saving were
only l per cent it would mean $780,
100000 deducted from last years ex-
penditures.

THE PROMOTERS WIFE
BARBARA WELCOMES NEIL MORE
EAGERLY THAN EVER
BEFORE.
CHAPTER LXVI.


AS 1 leaned back in the car. my
checks burning, fairly trembling with
Indignation, and the temerity of my
last sentence to Blanche orion, 1
wished with all my heart that Neil
were at home. He should not visit
Blanche any more. How careless 1
had been not to realize the lengths to
which his anxiety for big business
would take him. She had said she
was willing to Cruelty herself to
help my husband. What did she
mean? Was she so in love with him?
-Someway l didn't quite believe
that, and L was not at all ready to
way to wrong me. Not was all a
part of this business tangle, and
secrecy.
Had I struck the right reason for
her complaisance when 1 said that she
of course reaped no benefits from
1t was common talk that Mr.. orion
had left very little, was she being
paid to entertain Neil and his friends :?
The longer I thought of this the
more positive was I that I had hit
upon the correct solution. 1t was for
money that she was crucifying her
self-not for Neil
I had no sooner arrived at this de-
cision than I was happier. If she
were being paid like any hotel or club
for entertaining lot of coarse men
who were necessary to Neil because
they were wealthy and could advance
his interests, it put a different phase
upon the matter altogether. 1 could
MT help but despise her for being will
ing to lend herself to any such
schemes, but I knew she was luxuri-
Gus. And if she needed honeywell,
people would do lot when they
wanted money that they wouldn't
think of doing without that need.
1t was not a nice construction to
put upon an action, but in a way it
made me less uneasy about Neil's init
macy with her. If it was. as I now
tried to make myself think. a purely
business arrangement, I had no rea-
son to be personally jealous of them.
No cause to fear the fascinating
Blanche. Yet as / recalled how
charming. how enticing she was in
her daring negligee. I wondered that
Neil. or any man. could Withstand her
seductiveness.
His love for me and baby keeps
him from doing anything to hurt u.s.
I said aloud and Rugged the thought.
When I reached home there was a
message from Neil:

HEART AND BEAUTY

Dear Mrs. Thompson: In using the
electric needle on the face to remove
superfluous hair. is there any danger
or harmtng the skin later on? Where
can one have it done? VIII it cost
very much? BLUE EYES
The electric needle is not dangerous.
Sometimes white scar is left when a
mole is removed, bYt then the needle
is used again to remove the scar II
the scab resulting from the pricking in
allowed to fall off naturally there is
no danger of soaring.
l can give no recommendations in
this column Ask your family physi-
clan to recommend some one to do the
work. Usually the price is fair and
not beyond the average pocketbook.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ny hair Is
falling out to such an extent that / am
thinking of having it bobbed. Would
you advice me to do this?
BRUNETTE.
Do not have your hair bobbed The
style is too extreme for a young wo-
man. and during the period when II is
allowed to grow out again the hair is
most unmanageable.
Crude petroleum is often used to
prevent falling hair. 1t does not leave
the hair too greasy. but helps the
scalp. Use as little as possible at each
application, rubbing into the scalp
with gentle massage every night.

BY ROY K. MOULTON

just a Moment.
Dear Roy-Will you please explain
the League of Nations in your column
to decide bet?-H. w, Yonkers.
n. Y.
Now listen:
We have lived forty years of our life
and we figure that at the best we
haven't more than forty to go. We
had just decided to retire and live on
our income.
Would it be right to ask US to spend
our remaining forty years explaining
the League of Nations? In all fair
ness, we ask you. The best we can
have is a column a day. and by the
closest figuring it would take III
volumes of this newspaper to get away
with the job, and then we wouldn't
know whether to give the French,
English, Belgian, Italian or American
version
We thank H. w. for the compliment
and for endowing us with supernatural
powers, but, really-to tell the truth,
we don't know a darn thing about it.
