MONEY AND HAPPINESS

Money does not bring happiness, yet every
man is struggling to accumulate 1t with the
hone and expectation that at some future period
he will be able to retire from active labor ana
eniov the fruits of his industry and self-denlal.
Those who are successful in piling up fortunes
NAV finally turn their business cares over to
Younger men; but the moment they cease the
activity of business life they find themselves
in another atmosphere. It is not easy to break
awav from habits of industry and assume the
freedom of an inactive life. The fortune that
one has made ceases to be as precious as when
the active business mar was struggling to accu-
mulate it. He finds that he can spend it, but ne
also finds that it does not bring the satisfaction
which he anticipated. In youth he set a mark
and kept his eyes upon it. struggling, working
and saving until he had reached it. Meanwhile
the friends of youth have departed. Some have
gone over the "great divide" Some have wan
dered to distant homes, and few remain to share
with him the anticipated pleasure of ease in de-
clining years. The world ceases to be as beauti-
full and the mind seeks that which it cannot find.
Years have changed the man and his environ
ment. He looks backward over his years of
labor, his struggles for a competency, and at
last finds that it is not in wealth that true happi-
ness lies, but in the satisfaction of work we'll
done, and that it does not exist in the sense
of possession of wealth that may have been ac-
quired often by questionable means.

USHER bURD|CK IS
NOT IN POLITICS
Farm Bureau Head SAYS
He Is Not in Game

Usher L. Burdick, president of the
North Dakota Farm Bureau fedora
ton, and director in charge of or
ganization work for the U. S. Grain
Growers in North Dakota, has issued
a statement in which he denied that
he had taken any part in the recall
political campaign now raging in
North Dakota. He gave out a list of
organizers of the U. S. Grain Growers
to disprove statements made by the
opposition in other states, that only
Leaguers are employed as organizers.
This list showed that of the 10 organ
izers working in North Dakota only
eight are Leaguers. Of the others,
some are I. V. AS while some have
taken no part in politics.
Mr.. Burdick's statement was issued
in reply to the article in this weeks
l. v. "A. press bulletin, which was re-
printed in yesterdays News.
The assertion was made in this article
that Mr.. Burdick has lined up with the
Nonpartisan League against a recall.

WHAT A MILLION MEANS

When is a man worth a million dollars? Is it
when he possesses that amount, or is it when his
value as a citizen can be reckoned to that
amount? Possession of money or property does
not by any means make a man valuable to his
community, his state or the nation. He may have
a million dollars and at the same time be one of
the cheapest men in his home town. He may be
morally deficient, a tax dodger, an oppressor
of the poor or less fortunate than he; he may
be a crouch, or may have numerous other ex-
tenuating qualities or propensities that detract
from his value as an exemplary citizen. If a man
is worth a million dollars he is worth a million
dollars to his country. He may possess that
amount and be a leech upon his fellow men.

OH! You Skinny!

Contrary to the generally &C.
cepted idea that lean men are the
best risks in the eyes of insurance
men, a surety expert declares that
fat men are the best risks, and
that the profane man is best Of all.
Shades of Hades, what a revela-
ton? Of all things, the pure
minded man has been considered
the best from every point of view.
Now comes the surety expert to
blast our hopes for the future
conversion of the world to a high
er order of living. The surety ex-
pert says: "Fat men are better
risks than lean men. The fat man
who is profane issthe best risk of
all. The profane man works off his
anger by cussing and let's it go at
that, while the chin man holds
grudges and endeavors to make
more trouble. The fat man who is
we'll fed is satisfied with life and
keeps calm"

ERC0T FOUND IN
DuRUM wheat
Farmers Urged To Be
On Watch For It

Unusually large quantities of ergot
in durum wheat fields are alarming
farmers of this section who are not
familiar with this growth.
AS a rule, ergot attacks wheat very
sparingly, but always has been quite
common in rye. However, several
samples Of durum wheat containing a
large amount Of ergot have been sent
in to the Office Of the county agent
lately. Ergot is a fungus growth, just
as is wheat rust and smut and many
other plant diseases. The kernel Of
wheat in the head becomes infected,
and the fungus growth takes the
place of the kernel. This growth is
larger than the ordinary wheat ker-
mel, somewhat the same shape, and
purple in color, sometimes tapering
out to an ash grey at the end.
After threshing, these affected ker-
nels are difficult to separate from
the grain. It is dangerous to feed
grain containing ergot to cattle, as it
may cause poisoning and abortion. The
ergot may be found in the field by
examining heads which appear to be-
dirty colored and blighted. In the first
stages, a sticky, yellow or light grey
liquid may be seen on the head, ap.
parently oozing out from the kernel.
Shell out such heads, and if purple
kernels are found, the disease is err
got. AS it is too late to do anything
to control the disease this year, and
as it seldom appears in large guam
titles, there is nothing gained by being
alarmed at its presence now.
The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1921-08-03
A Spurious DEMAND

The alarming increase of disease, durable by
some kind of liquor, is manifested in the increase
of liquor importations for medicinal purposes.
Imports for the first four months of this year
totaled $1,690,9 74 as compared with S1O2,3 1927
for the corresponding period a year ago. This
may be taken to mean an increase in the dispen-
sation of liquors for medicinal purposes, or that
the surplus of American liquors is becoming
exhausted. In either case it means that there
are many people in this United States, who be-
lieve that a little liquor is necessary, and it may
also indicate that there are some who believe
that a little illness is necessary in order to obtain
liquor. Be that as it may, the importations have
increased, and sickness is the ostensible reason.

The Political Argna.l
Where The People Can Have Their Say

This column will be maintain
ed each week as occasion demands
that World readers may openly
express their opinions as the Re- !
call campaign progresses. The edi-
tor will welcome letters (signed
names will not be used if a re-
quest is made to that effect) from
all sources.
Editor of The World: -
Incensed over the coming
election in which the I. V. A. will at
tempt to GUST from office Governor
Frazier, Attorney General Lemke and
Commissioner Hagen, I am asking for
a few lines of your popular paper, if
you will spare the space, to make a
feeble effort at retort, against the out
breakings Of the hare-brained editor
ials on this subject appearing in the
organ of "Big Biz" in Devils Lake.
Monday night, that tweezey column
declared of the strength Ramsey coun-
ty has shown in past elections but it
at the same time indicates plainly the
/. v. A. are having a difficult task to
secure a named quota of signers fol
the recall. Sure they are, in spite Of
their boosted prowess. Over 5000 votes
last fall and only a few more than
1000 signers as yet and still they
claim the Nonpartisans are signing up.
What's happening to the I. V. A.?
Then they lose sight of the fact that
Ramsey county was one county at
least that didn't slide back in the
November election but rather made a
slight gain over past performances
Of course, Ramsey county shows "the
world how it stands on state issues
if its Devils Lake calamity howlers
count. The farmer-labor vote upon
whom they depend for bread and but
ter voted for the league.

u GOVERNMENT

The fundamental idea of the institution of the,
American nation was a government that would
serve the people, and in this its founders were
successful; for it did good service for a century
and a half, and then there came a change. We
are now confronted with an enormous debt and
unprecedented taxation, and the average citi-
zen is now compelled to work to keep Uncle
Sam out of bankruptcy. The tables are turned.
1t is the people who are now serving the gov
eminent. They are called upon to pay four or
five billions in taxes annually, or in other words,
the average citizen must pay $50 per year for
the support of the government, and this $50 tax
must be kept up for the next twenty-five years.
Fortunately our resources are great and We will
pay; but the lessons of the past five years should
impress the American people with the necessity
of a sound financial policy and economic adj
ministration of the nations affairs.

Then another article calls Che Cour-
ier-News for its delight at thu awaken
ing Of L. v. A. women who have de-
manded, to know where their slush
fund comes from and where it goes.
Too bad the women wants to know
something that's being kept secret.
And then listen to this little screech:
1--WE are sure that when the I. V. A.
women learn where THE campaign
funds are coming from and what il
being. done with them, they will DO
satisfied that the funds are not being,
juggled by the campaign managers.s
Does the Journal think we farmers b.
lieve they will dare to tell the truth
about their campaign funds? The.
Journal, I don't think, has nerve.
enough to even publish a list Of donors
to its causes even in Devils Lake, say
ing nothing about printing . list Of
contributors to the state funds. Why,
if they did such a thing, the powers
that control the Independents would
spank the little outfit here that doles
out the Fargo Foolem echoes in our
midst.
The farmers are going to stick it
out and will eventually win their pro-
gram. They are the foundation of
North Dakota and if they want to try
out a program it is their privilege.
Just why the people, so many of them,
in the towns should be against their
spending their w money, ! can't dis
Icern. It looks to me like most Of the
II. V. A. are the willing sops of "Big
Biz"
To close, will the Journal please
state in it's broadcast and plainest
terms, just what the issues are in
the coming campaign? Let's have it
and then see if they will. stick to what
they call the issue of the fight.

AN MADE

The Devils Lake World offers a most sincere
apology to not only relatives but to friends and
the public for the errors in dates shown in our
write-up of the death of Andrew Stade appear
ing in last weeks issue. Correct and proper fig
ures were written in the story by the editor per-
sonally. No greater chagrin has been his since
in North Dakota than to discover the horrible
medley which appeared in print 49, the fault of
incompetent proof-reading and care in what was
considered the principal news item Of the day.
Pleased to count the Hon. Stade a personal
friend, this means of not only apologizing but
extending the keenest of sympathy to the be-
reaved relatives is taken with the utmost ex-
p~ectancy of acceptance.

AND THE VETERANS WAIT

Our national congress squirms and twists in
its august deliberations over a soldier bonus bill
while the war veterans wait, wait and wait.
Congress can't see how the nation can finance
a bonus. But:
While those esteemable gentlemen supposed
to represent the people of the United States
play hickory, dickory, dock" over the bonus
bill, and thousands of returned service men are
in dire need, the government does find time to
dole out, according to Robert LaFollette, the
tidy sum of ONE BILLION, ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY-EIGHT MILLION, TWO HUN
DRED AND NINETY-ONE THOUSAND,
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN DOL
LARS TO THE RAILROADS. And that is but a
FRACTION OF H AMOUNT THEY ARE
AFTER"
The article in which the quotation appears
goes on to point out that the government must
raise more tax funds for various purposes, and
says of the government:
1T can supply the railroads with all they
want, but the soldiers, they can wait. They can
wait for the reduction of taxes. They can wait
for the refunding of the war debt. They can
wait for the Indefinite extension of time to the
foreign governments who owe us more than ten
billion of principal and unpaid interest"

SCANDAL MONCERS

Did it ever occur to you that the man who
sees no good in others may be no good himself.
Every community has it's specimen of this type
of individual. It may be male or female, and
there may be a umber of both sexes. Unhappy
is the community so unfortunate as to have in
its midst a number of scandal-mongers, defam-
ers of character, blighters, or whatever you
choose to call them. In such a community no
individual or family is safe, however upright
may be their lives. How many innocent and
promising lives have been wrecked by the poison
of venomous tongues that delight to prattle
no mortal knows; but all do know that their
victims are many. Shun the scandal-monger as
you would a venomous reptile. Do not listen to
the lying tongues, the insinuating babble, the
whisperings that carry poison to destroy the
reputation of any one. You yourself may not
be immune, and while you are drinking at the
fountain of community gossip, your own charac.
ter may be under the hammer. There are com.
munities where no one dares to leave a gather.
ing for fear they will be talked about. Thew
prefer to$be the last to go lest their character
be made q subject for discussion. Is there happi.
ness il such environment? We should say not,

Conditions will never be improved by crying
hard times. We must go to work. We must put
aside suspicion, assume confidence, and deal
with the other fellow as we would be dealt
with. Confidence must be restored, credit estab-
lished, and a policy of square dealing adopted.
The laborer is entitled to a fair wage; the pro-
ducer to a fair compensation for his labors, and
the consumer must be able to purchase the ne
c%essities of life without paying too much to the
middle-man. Today the railroads are taking a
tariff that is wholly disproportionate to the
value of the commodities they haul. The high
rates are prohibitive, and business lags. The
producer and the consumer suffers from extor-
tionate rates and the profits of the middle-men.
