FNCJANDsS AFRICAN ASSET

Il
The following editorial from the
Berkeley, Calf. Gazette, concerning
the richest country on the face OF tne
globe today, and the one that has
probably made the greatest material!
.@ains in her history thru the late war,
vii, prove interesting reading:
"The greatest undeveloped portion
of the globe today is Africa-great. in
soil, minerals, water power and varied
climate. AS result Of the war,
Great Britain came into control OF q
sufficient area of Africa to give her
practically absolute control of the
.:uture industrial and commercial de-
velopment of that vast continent:
While there are some portions OF
the continent not under British con-
troll, these portions are so small and
disconnected as to be dependent upon
the British areas for their prosperity.
All the important railroad transpor-
tation and practically all the ocean
TRANSFORMATION in and out of Africa
will nav tribute to Great Britain. This
may be a good thing for Africa, as
we'll as for Great Britain. We are
not complaining Of the action OF the
Versailles treaty makers and the
League of Nations in giving Great
Britain control of Africa, but we do
insist that when otherwise good Amer.
icans argue that we should cancel
Great Britain's war debt to us, they
should make some mention of the vast
and vet unmeasured benefits accruing
10 Great Britain from the war;

If former Pos tmaster General Will
Hays can do something to clean up
the rottenness existing among our
moving picture actors and actorines,
he will have little trouble in earning
his $l5O,000.00 annual salary which
he is now drawing from the movie
corporation. Recent reports eminat-
ing from Hollywood are sickening to
:ay the least, coming close on the heels
of the FATTY Arbuckle scandal. The
public have right to expect clean
modes of living from those engaged in
he business of furnishing them en-
tcvtainment.

Eiyanis Weekly Luncheon


We are candid in reporting that
asterday's meeting was sumner,
ID you will agree with me when you
ieht off with an argument as to
neither or not it was the rule to fine
member 10 cents for using the
rd mister. 1t was settled for
Ill time to come when secretary Yak
Fad the following from International
Ixiwanis Headquarters: "We Kiwanis
ave taken one word out of the
language. We have made the word
..lter taboo in our clubs. Would
70 not be doing our duty by the
mother tongue if we replaced the elimi-
ted Mister" with "Thank you" and
Please, thus reviving two dead
words for the one we have killed?'
This coming from headquarters gov
erns all clubs without being especially
adopted locally. All we have left to
io is to collect the fines.
Dan O'Neil was the chairman. The
weekly attendance prize was donated
sy H. w. Montgomery, beautiful
leather embossed ladies hand purse,
and was presented to F. C. Flug, q
single man. (This is just tip, girls.)
fhe following visitors favored us with
short talks; M. l.. Beeson, Breckin-
ridge; B. A. Orr, a Fargo Kiwanis,
presented greetings from his home

Whereupon Bert Stewart presented
some solid matter. This began to

she United States and its possessions,
but every country in the world. Bert

We have altogether too many spe-
cial "Weeks". Somebody designates
d "Snile Week" and expects no one
to wear anything but a smile during
that period There are prosperity
Weeks, "Good Health Weeks, "Fire
Prevention Weeks, and so many
other sorts of 'Week" that if one
observed them all religiously, it would
be weeks and weeks before one could
remain at home for an evening to get
acquainted with the family again.

The state Of North Dakota has al

According to late reports from New
} ork, the influenza epidemic is pre-
vaent' in the east and is certain to
spread over the United States. 1t is
ret as virulent as the flu epidemic Of

It can hardly be distinguished from
N ordinary cold. Those who show
symptoms of having it are urged to

not expose themselves to the cold.

The question of bonding the Minot
Special School District for $135, 100000
for building another school building,
and to make needed repairs on the
buildings already in use, will come
Up for a vote at a special election to

te.ieves that this bond issue should
larry. No one can deny the fact that
we need more room in our schools.
Scores Of children are now compelled
10 study in crowded, i'll lighted base
nent rooms and our population is in
creas.ng steadily. Minot has won an
<uv:able reputation with her fine
Gchool system and we want to see
hat reputation sustained. We be-
sieve the bond issue will carry by q
large majority. Let's keep Ellnot in

The undertakers from North Da-
tota who are holding their convention
in Minot, declare that they always
find their business dull when business
5n other lines is slow. Is it possible
that there are fewer deaths in dull
times? 1t would seem so. Perhaps
tthe plain living that goes with poor
times is conducive to good health.
There is a little country in Europe
where there are an unusual large
number Of people who have reached
the ripe old age Of one hundred years
or more. An investigation proved
chat they live on a very simple diet,
eating little meat after they are SO.
They live mainly on vegetables, black
bread and buttermilk. Perhaps it is
plain living that ails the business Of
fhe North Dakota undertakers.

Do you remember the good old days
when mother kept the goose grease
dish away back in the warming oven
of the old Washington cook stove,
to be handy for most any emergency?
Goose grease was a favorite remedy
for colds and generally knocked them.
1t was usually applied to those little
red topped, brass tipped boots that
were the pride of little boys boys forty
years ago. And then for chapped
hands, there was nothing half SO good
as mothers store of goose grease
which cost nothing but proved fully as
as these Partisan compounds
that sell for a dollar and make you
smell like a garden Of roses.

President Harding has set an ex-
mo.e for thrift, by sending his old
aces out to be half soled. If the
resident will see that patches are
ewed on his worn out trousers and
rat his shirts are mended, he ought
> be able to save little money on
;. 100000 a year. He probably got
his thrift habit about the time he was
.ccepting cabbage and turnips on sub

The league press are trying to make
me public think that the action of
Governor Nestos in asking for the
designation of Messrs. Totten and
Cahill, members Of the Board of Ad-
aninistration, for malfeasance in Of
fice and incompetency, with which
they are charged, is a political move.
The Independent doesn't believe it is
anything of the sort. Governor Mes
tos has been slow to ask for the resig-
sation Of any official without first be-
ii1g pretty sure that there is good rea-
ION for the same for he wants to do
no one an injustice no matter what
lis political faith may be. He did
promise to make searching investi-
Cation of the states industries and to
,:ct accordingly. The Governor must
nave been furnished with some un-
Inistakable evidence which he will no
.1oubt present when the proper time
comes. In the meantime, it might
ave Messrs. Totten and Cahill con-
siderable embarrassment and trouble
10 hand in their designations.

There is plenty. of room for all of

to recent calculations, there will still
be elbow room for hundreds of years
to come. There are approximately

them within the boundaries Of the

be only nine people on each acre. Just

IN MEMORIAM.
ERALEY

In sad but loving remembrance of
my darling mother. Sarah Coe Fraley,
who departed this life two years ago,
March 5, 1920.
Death has robbed me of my mother.
OF the one loved so well;
Taken from this world of sorrow,
Safely home with God TO dwell.
My heart has been crushed and wound
ed,
Ny life has been lone and sad;
But one look on your dear kind face,
Would make me content and glad.
Peaceful be thy rest, dear mother,
lis sweet to breathe thy name;
In life loved you dearly,
In death | do the same.
She has gone who was so fair,
She slumbers sweet, but knows no care.
Her heart was true, but life was young,
Yet not our will, but Gods be done.
BY her loving Son, John.

In loving remembrance of my dear
wife, Mrs. c W. Fraley, who died two
years ago, March 5, 1920.
Death has robbed me of my wife,
or the one loved so we'll;
taken from this world of sorrow,
Safely home with Him to dwell.
When | saw nv dear wife
Whom tended with such care,
Slowly fading from my presence,
How my aching heart deSpared.
When the evening shades are gathering,
And sit al alone,
In my heart there comes a longing,
If she could only come home.
Our hearts are sad and lonely now,
Our gricfS too deep to tell,
but hme VIII come, we know not when.
That we may with you dwell.
BY Her Loving Husband.
