When We All Fly.

One of the greatest wonders Of all
ages is the development Of aerial
navigation.
A few days ago mail plane, car
rying its pilot and four hundred
pounds Of fast mail, travelled the
distance from Chicago % New York
in five hours and thirty-two minutes.
By air the two cities are 742 miles
apart. \ d.
From Cleveland to New York the
average rate Of speed was ISL miles
an hour. y
1t appears now that there is but
one great obstacle to the universal
use of the airplane for passenger
and traffic purposes. That is the
certainty of instant death in case
it becomes disabled and falls to the
earth.
But doubtless some day science
will overcome this obstacle. A means
will eventually be found whereby
the airplane will no longer be heavier
than air, thus rendering it possible
to hold it suspended between earth
and sky.
When that day comes every citi-
zen of any means will want his or
her plane.
You may even see the successor
to the editor Of this paper step into
his air car, press a button, dart
over the other end of the county,
gather in the news, and be back in
the office again within an hours
time.
There is no limit to the POSSIBLE
tiles of the airplane.
And there is little doubt as to the
earthly actuality Of, these POSSIBLE
ities.-Ex.

Teaching Cleanliness

Is your child backward in school?
Does he lack color and weight? Has
he lost his appetite? If so likely the
cause is bad teeth. Here is a thought
worth considering. In schools
where dental services have been fur
nished the children, care of the
mouth and the use of tooth brush
carefully inculcated, measles, scar
let fever, whooping cough, chicken
pox, ETC., have been almost entirely
eliminated. The mouth is the great
est carrier of diseases known; only
by cleanliness can it be rendered less
dangerous to public health.-Dr. H.

The Poor, Noble,
Doomed Horse

1t certainly is too bad about the
horse. Men who were experts pre-
dicted even as long as Is years ago
that he was doomed, that the au-
tomobile would chase him into OBJ
livion.
Then, around about 1910 or 1912
the farmers started to buy automo-
biles to beat the city man and little
later tractors began to fill the coun-
try fields with their hoarse growl.
Thus, the end was near, so near
that
Well, SO near that the census of
1920 showed two million more horses
in the United States than did the
census of 1910-this in the face of
the fact that abqt million and a
half had been shipped out Of the
country during the war.
Isn't it a horrible pity about the
poor, disappearing horse.
Oh, yes; here's another jolt. The
1920 census counted 26,000,000
horses, the greatest number in the
history of the United States.
The auto is a good thing and
SOS the farm tractor, but the farmer
INST have his horses, too. There are
various reasons for the revival of
the domed horse, but that's the chief
one.

FORCED TO GIVE
UP RAILROADING
George Sharpe Says He Was In Bad
Shape Before Taking TanIac.
Feels Fine Now

"My health got so bad I had to
give up railroading, but since taking
Tanlac could fire an engine as
good as any man on the G. & o."
said George p. Sharpe, 1923 Ire
mont St., Fairmont District, Cincin-
natl, Ohio, a valued employee Of the
Lukenheimer Co. Mr.. Sharpe was
formerly with the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad for seven years.
"About four years ago I had an
operation which finally resulted in
a general breakdown. I got to where
I couldn't eat anything without
bloating up so bad could hardly
breathe, and the constant .jolting of
the engine almost put me out of
commission. My nerves gave away, ]
could hardly stand the noise Of the
train and sleep was next to impos-
sible for me. I fell off a great deal
in weight and had so many dizzy
spells I could hardly stay on the
job. Although tried medicine after
medicine, nothing did me any good,
so about six months ago I had to
change to lighter work.
"But I don't believe I could have
held out this long if I hadn't got
better. Tanlac helped me right from
the start, and it wasn't long before

Federal Officials in
Coal Profiteering

Charges that government officials
joined in coal profiteering during
the period Of shortage last summer
were made by George H. Gushing,
managing director Of the American
Wholesale Coal Association, testi-
flying under oath before a Senate
investigating committee.
The executive session of the COM
mittee, according to Senator VIM.
M. Calder, Republican, New York,
its chairman, was furnished by Mr..
Gushing with the name Of one man
said to have been a principal in an
operation by which a group of men
in public service obtained 100000
tons Of coal, which they sold later
at a profit Of 100000. Railroad Of
ficials and one army officer also
participated in the profit-making
Mr.. Gushing was said by Chairman
Calder to have charged.
This phase Of Mr.. Cushing's testi-
mony before the committee over
Swallowed the rest Of his statement,
which was to the effect that the coal
shortage last summer was due to
"panic," and largely caused by the
statements Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Geological
Survey and the Railroad Admins
tration, telling the consuming public
about coal shortage this winter.

SETTLEMENTS ON
INSURANCE VOID

= Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 25.-Set-
Elements made by the National In
ion Fire Insurance company Of Pitts
burg, Pa, with farmers holding
drought insurance policies in North
Dakota are not bound by such set
Elements, according to a decision OF
the North Dakota supreme coarl.
The company returned premiums
paid by the farmers, and accordn ns
to the supreme court it's agents rep
resented to the farmers that the
company was insOlvent and that it
could not make settlement on the
basis of the face Of the policy.
This. company several years ago
wrote a large amount of drought IN
surance on crops in a portion of 81 he
state in which all crops were wiped
out. Subsequent to that time
agents of the company are said to
have obtained settlements with the
farmers and the latter subsequent
ly, reDudiated them. In the Morton
county district court it was held
that the farmers were not bound by
their settlements and the supreme
court now affirms that decision in
the following decisicn:
''In an action upon a policy of
crop insurance to recover losses sus-
tanned where the plaintiff received
farm the insurance company repay
ment OF the premium and signed a
release and settlement in full upon
the representations made, that the
company was insolvent. and that he
would receive further payment if,
likewise further payment were made
to other policy holders, and where
fl ON the evidence it appears that the
insurance company was not insol-
vent, and did maize further pay
ments to other policy holders, it is
said that the> settlement made con-
atituted an accord, unexecuted by
the insurance company, and that
the plaintiff was entitled to main-
tain his action upon the original con-
tract Of Insurance.

Opened 10 The Public

Bismarck, Nov. 2O.-The Bank
of North Dakota, beginning Decen-
ber 1, will increase its interest rates
on deposits TO as high as five and
half per cent. on sinking funds and
time deposits remaining on deposit
enc year or more, a statement is
sued by the bank :oGay announces.
Director General F. w. Cathro also
announced today that the: Bank of
North Dakota from now on will re-
,ceive deposits from individuals, part
nerships and corr orations just as
any other banking institution in the
state. -
Under~t law which created ths
Bank of North Dakota this institu-
ton has full authority to take this
step upon the authorization OF the
industrial commission. When the.
bank was first opened it was decided
mot to accept deposits from indivld-
uals but leave this branch OF the
business to the private banks OF the
state. This. policy was adopted by
the industrial commission on the
.',"o,.v that by making the Bank of
North Dakota "a depository for pub
lie funds only the state bank would
encroach very slightly on private
banks but would nevertheless be all
efficient factor in =sabilizing interest
rates and thus make credit cheaper
for those who have to borrow monev
Declare War OH Bank
But the bankers of North Dakota
refused to tolerate any competition
in their business by the people them7~
selves so they declared relentless
war on the state bank. The decree
went out that the Bank of~North Da-
kotn must be destroyed at any cost.
The opposition decided that the best
way to destroy the bank would be
TO repeal the la~ which compelled
public corporations to deposit its
funds in it. So a measure was ini-
tiated by the enemies to the farm
4ers program providing for this:
Thru the lying. propaganda spread
broadcast by the I. V. A., the peo-
pie were mislcd into voting for this
law and it was approved u
Now the people OF the state are:
