SALVATION ARMY
ANNUAL APPEAL

Three years ago it was decided by
the government Of the Army to do
away with solicitation for funds when
ever need demanded, and have the
budget system instead, in other words
have certain quota for each terri
tory ONCE A YEAR, publish the
amount of the quota and with the help
of local communities apply for that
sum to maintain Home Service.
After this it was strictly forbidden
by headquarters to solicit for money
at any other time.
But what happened. Imitation start
ed in. Now imitation is not alone the
"sincerest form Of flattery." It is the
unavoidable consequence of populari-
ty. Since the test Of the World War
placed the Salvation Army upon the
pinnacle of public affection and es-
TEEN, a host of religious "armies''
have sprung full panoplied into being.
Did these new Armies merely imi-
tate the successful methods, which the
Salvation Army devised for the regen-
Grafton of fallen womanhood, and the
salvation of broken manhood, we
should be not only gratified, but de-
voutly thankful to Almighty God for
reinforcements in an almost unlimit-
ed field.
But when these new armies" close

RED CR0SS DOES
FINE WORK FOR
EX-SERVICE MAN

Monday of this week saw the COM
pletion of a very long and difficult
piece of work for one of our local ex-
service men. AS a result of war ex-
perience this young man came home
with his ability to direct his activi-
ties very seriously impaired. He found
employment but due to his disability
he was not able to retain his positions
while during this same time he spent
recklessly until he was seriously in
volved in debt. In the end he was
committed to the hospital for the in
sane.
The local Red Cross chapter, thru
it's director Mr.. Dalton, got hold of the
case at this point. The first accom-
plishment was to secure a disability
allowance of $4,000 per month, and
this dated back far enough to produce
about $1.385 back dues. His tangled
finances were then Strengthened out.
By assuming personal responsibility
for the young man Mr.. Dalton was
able to secure his release from the
asylum. He then piloted him to Min
neapolis for an examination before the
appropriate authorities where the
young man was granted the privilege
of occupational training. Last Mon
day morning Mr.. Dalton left for Sher-
idan, Wyoming, on the last lap Of this
most successful piece of work.

FINAL PLANS FOR
DAIRY EXPOSITION

Thirty-two tons of brand new seem
cry and properties are being set up
for the $4,000 "Healthland" show,
stanchions are being installed in the
100000 cattle barn for 1000 pure
bred and $50 to 500 grade cattle
(many Of which will be sold at auc-
tion), advance installments of the mil
lion dollar machinery exhibit are ar
irving and changes are being made in
the agricultural building for the Ma
tional Poultry Exposition. These
things mark final preparations for
the National Dairy Exposition, Min
nesota State Fair grounds, Oct. to
ID.
All traces of Horticultural exhibits
in the Horticulture building have been
removed, and instead new land is
being Laid out there. 1t is "Health-
land" with its baby garage, child
health bank made Of gold coins, a
movie house, a restaurant built of the
best foods and library filled with
story books on health. Out of twen-
ty interesting features Of this unex-
plored country, it is possible to men,
ton but few, the whole forming one
of the big features of the dairy expo
sition, and is termed "the land of a
thousand thoughts, and a playground
for 100000 children"
Cliff Goldsmith, New York interpre-
ter of health education, who is known
nationally among children as "Profes-
sor Happy" and Miss Louise Fitzger-
aid, director of the National Dairy
Council, are personally supervising

science makes dairy products better,
was set up the first of this week.

PROCLAMATION

Year by year, the national destruc-
ton of life and property by fire has
been mounting until the total annual
loss of material wealth now approx
mates the enormous sum of $485, OOO,-
900. This means the wiping out of
needed resources at the rate of about
81 100000 a day, in addition to the de-
struction of 4S lives daily.
In our own state, during the five
years ended with 1920, our fire waste
came to the great total of $9,952,172,
sum that would build 1890 five
thousand dollar homes or many miles
of good roads. Thus it is evident that
we have been paying our full share
of the tax levied by carelessness and
ignorance in handling fire hazards.
Since most fires are preventable,
the regrettable devastation by burn
ing that takes place day after day, is
largely unnecessary. 1t goes without
saying that every effort should be
made to relieve the people of self-im-
posed burden represented by prevent
able fire.
THEREFORE,; I, R. A. Nestos, Gov
ernor of the State of North Dakota
by the authority in me vested, do des-
ignate and proclaim the period from
October 2 to 7, 1922

THE RED CROSS, AS
USUAL, is ON THE JOB

Associated Press dispatches cabled
from Smyrna, the city as large as
Minneapolis which was recently de-
stroyed by the Turks, leaving 100000
hopeless and helpless, report as fol-
lows concerning the activity of the
American Red Cross organization sta
toned in that country:
"On report of the cabled news re-
garding the Smyrna disaster the
American Red Cross cabled Admiral
Bristol at Constantinople, authorizing
him to draw on the American Red
Cross through the State department
for $25 900 to help meet the temper
airy emergency. Major Davis, former
ly director of the American Red Cross
unit in Constantinople, was at once
dispatched along with a medical unit
and such supplies as were available,
on one of the American destroyers.
which made the passage in record
time. THIS the American Red Gross
was at work in Smyrna before The
Turkish army arrived.
"The messages sent Admiral Bristol
by the State Department regarding
cooperation of American relief agen-
cies with similar organizations and
governments in Europe were sent af-
ter consultation with the American
Red Cross. This organization fully
endorses the position taken by the
State Department and stands ready to
cooperate in any feasible plan Of in
ternational relief.
May Return U. S. Citizens
; especial provision has just been
made by the American Red Cross for
relief of naturalized American citizens
who have been transferred from
Smyrna to Athens and vicinity by
Consul General Horton, and it is ex-
pected that the American Government
can arrange to bring to the United
States promptly those who wish to re-
turn"
: Another dispatch reads as follows:
death and Understandable misery
rule among 100000 in the crazed pop
ulation. Six lone American relief
workers are attempting the superhu-
man task of administering to the dead
and dying. No other country has as
yet come forward to relieve the suf-
fering. All the patients crowded in
hospitals, numbering not less than
1000, have been burned to DEATH"
From the foregoing it will be seen
how fortunate it was that the Red
Cross is still on the job in Europe and
the Near East. 1t was the first re-
lief agenc yto get on the job in Smyr-
ma and it is usually the first on the
job when any disaster caused by
flood or fire or tornado strikes any
part Of our own country. 1t is an in
stitution that is worthy of the most
generous and whole hearted support

we realized $2,296, 900, 900 in customs
worth of foreign products on which
revenues. Of this total $92,000,00O
was collected during the period July
l to October 3, 1918, when the Repub-
lcan law was in effect, and about
$40 100000 from Republican rates on
wool and sugar carried over into the
following year, while the revenues de-
rived from the Emergency tariff law
during 1921-1922 should not be credit
ed to the Democratic law. Probably
about $4,000, 100000 would cover the
revenues Of the Democratic law dur
ing the nine years cited. During the
nine years Immediately preceding
1914, five of which were under the
Dingley law and four under the
Payne-Aldrich law, we imported $751;
OOO, 100000 worth Of foreign goods,
which netted the Federal Treasury
50, 76O, 100000. Therefore, less than
one-half the imports under Republl-
can tariff laws yielded SO per cent
more revenue than did the Democra-
tic law. All figures used here are
taken from the official records.
ut would be unfair to make use OF
the prices which have prevailed from
1915 down to the present time in argu-
ing against the Democratic contention
that increased imports result IN de-
creased living cost. The war and the
raised wage level have smothered
that issue. Compared with 1918 the
index numbers of wholesale prices for
1914 on clothes, fuel, metals, lumber,
chemicals, house furnishings, and
miscellaneous commodities record no
appreciable change, while the prices
of farm products and foods, which
were placed on the free list, show an
increase of 3 points each. The ex-
pose of importers profits recently
made by the Senate Committee on FL
nance shows decisively that not only
have the importers absorbed the du-
ties saved to them by the Democratic
law in their profits, but they have IN
very great number of instances
mulcted the buying public Of profits
ranging from $50 to 23O0 per cent on
/ the goods they imported.
"The contention that Democratic
policies were responsible for increased
wages could not possibly be sound.
We can't increase wages by increas-
ing imports. That the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is fully cognizant of
the benefits of protection is amply
testified to by the resolution adopted
! by that body in Buffalo in 1917: RE-
SOLVED, That this convention go on
record in favor Of a policy OF indus
trial preparedness and the enactment
of laws by Congress that will ade-
quately protect all wage-earners Of
our country against loss Of employ
ment through any invasion of the
products of any other nation
"In short, the Democratic tariff law
failed in every particular, so far as
domestic interests We're concerned. 1t
did not lower prices. 1t did not in
crease the revenues. 1t had no part
in expanding exports. 1t did create
depression and cause suffering. The
new Republican tariff law is protec-
ton, not perfection. 1t has been pass
ed on the face of the most desperate
opposition on the part of importers
ever known. 1t puts the country on
safe ground. It is the handmaiden if

Cox reaffirmed the traditional policy
Of the Democratic party on the tar

The import record of 1920 made
some protective legislation impera-

ing year the Emergency tariff bill was
signed by Mr.. Harding, having been
vetoed by President Wilson a few
months previously. With one or two
exceptions favorable to the South:
farm products had been on the free
list in the Underwood Simmons law.
The Emergency law materially re-
stricted this class of imports, at the
same time adding to the customs rev.

farmers were badly hurt by Democra-
tic deAation and free farm products.
it performed its work admirably as
stop-gap measure.
