EDITORIAL REVIEW
Comments reproduced in this column may or may
opinion of The Tribune They
that readers may have both sides Of important
which being discussed in the press Of the day.
GOOD BUSINESS AND GOOD ROADS

Good roads have much to do with the volume
|of business in all rural districts. Highway i'm
)provements during the past twenty years have
given powerful impetus to rural trade, opening
constant winter communication with farmers who
formerly we're tied up from November to April,
with all their products-hay, grain, potatoes, etc.,
not marketed before winter began.
There is an interesting parallel between good
highways and good business. A well built road is
always "crowned' that is, so constructed that it
drains quickly and completely. A poor road is
flat, water stands on it, mud follows, and in due
time it becomes impossible. Some businesses are
poorly drained Uncollected accounts, neglected
Stocks in-attentive help and other things result
in delayed payment of bils deterioration Of credit,
and ultimate disappearance of profits. A business
man must keep the "going" good in his business,
must keep it in repair well drained of all causes
of delay and loss. When he does this, his going is
sure to be good; he will not be stuck in the mud
when his obligations fall due.-Chicago Journal Of

ADVENTURE OF

"Why?' !

have no flowers, and they can look

glad
That's right" said Mother Nature
kindly, but there arc not enough

your younger brothers and sisters

be bright and yellow next spring. Mr..
Rubadub will give each Of you a nice
coat of yellow paint.and Mr.. Sprinkle

to keep you clean. Hold your heads
up and do all you can to spread hap
piness and cheer
She called the m;lk-weed seeds
next, when the dandelion seeds had
taken their seats.
The milk-weed seeds were told to
grow near to house where poor
children lived so that their pods could
be used for doll-baby cradles in the
fall. ft
Next came the maple tree seeds,
gently smoothing their shiny clear
wings.
IT'S very. important" said Mother
Nature to the maple-seeds, that you
grow where you are most needed So
many people neglect planting shade

A HINT TO THE FARMER

Financial reviews which rivet the attention in
these days of djustment contain lesson tor
the farmers of North Dakota. Students of eco
nomics who have watched the price fluctuations
are unit in their conclusion that dairy products
held up better than anything else on the formers
list. Not only held more stable but kept thousands
of farms in ready money
One survey Of the situation in dairy products
has this comment to make:
"The report Of the American Associa-
tion of Creamery Butter Manufacturers
for the week ended January ID, 1922,
eighty-four plants showed an increased
production of 44 percent over the prevl-
Gus week and 40.7 per cent over the cor
responding week of the year before. The
price broke about Is cents per pound, but
has since made partial recovery
- Every encouragement and legitimate assistance
to aid the farmers of this Saction to get into the
dairy business should be given. Some progress
has been made in Burleigh county. The city busi-
nessman as well ;l his brother businessman on
the farm can join hands in such movement
There is great future before Burleigh county
in this line and never will the county come into
it's own until dairy stock Increases.
: Agriculture means. most to Bismarck and the
stimulation of this industry should be the main
issue with our commercial bodies. Theories as to
how cities advertise and expand avail little if
there is no profitable production upon the acres
adjacent.
Money spent in support of commercial club in
Bismarck is wasted unless major portion of the
fund is devoted to promoting the cause of agri-
culture. The growth of the city can only follow
profitable growth on the farms. In cities of the
size of Bismarck, executives of commercial bodies
should be trained agriculturists with keen
knowledge of the problems of transportation and
equitable adjustment of freight tariffs.

Anchorage, Alaska, Feb. 2.-Uncle
Sans Alaskan Railway, talked OF TOR
two decades, and under construction
for six years, is tentatively sched-
uled for completion on Februry IA.
The last spike may be driven before
that time.
This last spike will, on the COM
pletion day, be driven into place on
the bridge at Riley Creek, near Nc
Kinley National Park, by one Of the
track layers. Later, some time in the
summer, it will be replaced by gold,
en- spike when the formal dedication
of the railway will be celebrated. /.
The railroad runs from Seward to
Fairbanks -467 miles and has
branches to coal fields which make
a total trackage Of H}5Y9 miles. The
cost was approximately $56,0OO,OOO.
Work during the winter months
brought many -hardships. Supplies
had tn Bee carried by tractor and
truck through heavy SHOWS, over
forest lands and through streams.
There were feWy2rOads--the gasoline

ready starting toward the ocean, and
by ships for the Pacific Coast states.

Work Difficult
TO Colonel Mears is given much OF
the credit ior the big construction

supplies, Seattle, being 1000 miles
distant, and the fact that the field
was too snowbound for track work

FRIENDS

(Florence Borner)
What is more noble than friend?
A friend sincere and true;
Who if conditions should require,
Would give his all for you.
Who loves you neither for your fame,
Nor for your golden store,
But if misfortune chanced to frown,
Would love you still the more.
What is more noble than a friend?
A friend in word and deed.
Whose love is all embracing,
Not confined to cult or creed.
often times have thought that friends
We're unto mortals given,
That we might learn to love the more,
Our Saviour friend in heaven.
