The Rural Dance Hells.

The dance, a harmless means of
pleasure, has become sadly degraded
within the past few years. Some
dances are SO bad that decent young
people will not attend them. Other
young people, innocent enough to be-
gin with, attend them and become
corrupted. Indecent postures are as
sumed at these dances. 1t is riot OF
sex with demoralizing results upon
the participants. Knockout fights, foul
language, immoral acts, all these so.
Tt is even said that moonshine
flows freely at some OF these country
dances. Observers aver that mere
girls have been seen to peddle the de-
moralizing stuff amongst the crowd.
Male striplingS bought it.
This may or may not be true but IS
told.
other wild stories are told about the
various rural dances. Apparently
the county authorities will not act UNI
less a complaint is made. Apparently
the town authorities are deaf, DUMB
and blind. Apparently the decent ele-
ment in and around the dance bells is
afraid to complain.
In the meantime little children are
being raised" in these communities.
In Their tender years they are being
subjected to demoralizing influences.
We have no desire to reform" grown
neople. but we have the utmost con-
teulpt for a man or woman who would
corrupt an innocent child.
Isn't it about time that an investi-
cation was made and these stories
either proven false, or if true, the con-
ditions cleaned up?

go to Church Sunday"

The Herald finds itself in disagree
ment with those who belittle or de-
ride the purpose Of the day Of rest as
a day Of worship of God.
Jesus said: Render, therefore, I'M
to Caesar the things that are Caesar S
and unto God, the things that are
Gods"
In paying Sabbath observance the
Christian puts the tribute to God first.
We do not hold with those who con-
tend that the day of rest should be a
day Of solemnity and dizziness but we
do believe that the prime purpose of
the day is one Of worship. Then each
may go his way according to his bent
or purpose so long as it is respectable
and not in conflict with his obeisance
in the morning.
The church as an institution is a
moral force in the community not to
be belittled. 1t stands for the best
things in community life and frowns
upon the demoraiizing things. Ii
one carries out the idea of Sab
bath worship is unnecessary and
futile, that worldly pleasures and di-
versions are more important than an
ethical understanding Of moral law,
brotherhood and a satisfaction Of the
religious impulse inherent in most
people, he Immediately deyitalizes the
purpose of the institution. Ministers
cannot preach to empty pews.
Sunday schools are maintained for
the purpose OF giving moral teaching
to the young. Some do not absorb
this teaching but that is their fault
rather than the teachers. The insti-
tuition is clearly part of a democratic
system, not forcing observance but
getting support from most households.
The church is moral force in the
community. An attendance at church
will injure no man and frequently as
sist him in gaining religious under
standing It makes him a part OF a
brotherhood which works for con-
structive things in human life.

Speakers at the banquet included
Governor Nestos, Judge A. NJ. Chris
tianson, E. A., Williams and c. c..
Converse, tax commissioner.
Governor Nestos, stating the cry
of economy was heard on all sides,
approved of it but warned against
what he termed false economy"
The real basis of economic hand
ling of the states finances, he told
the legislators and others, is to ex-
anime each proposed expenditure to
see if it was for the welfare ofthe state
and whether in years to come it will
return at least dollars value for
every dollar expended.
Urges Development.
He mentioned the coal deposits,
clay beds and the possibilities of the
Missouri river for navigation, irriga-
tion and development Of electric
power.
Expenditures for such develop
ments may contribute so much to the
general welfare Of the state that yon
cannot afford to say that because
times are hard we shall not develop
them," he said.
He said that while the legislature
should be for economy it should not
be for that kind which would fail to
develop the states resources.
Judge Christianson outlined the
pact between states on Colorado river
control and Mr.. Converse talked Of
the Williston irrigation projects, it's
tribulations and it's Successes.
Gen. Williams, introduced as zone
who helped frame the Constitution
of North Dakota, and who has done
more to sponsor agitation for irrigae
tion experiments in the state than
probably any other citizens, talked
briefly. - He suggested that North
Dakota has men who could accept

Interior, made vacant by the resigna-

WHEAT is UP
OFFERINGS ARE
VERY LIGHT

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Whcat scored a
moderate advance in price today dur
ing the early dealings. Quotations
at Liverpool and possibly of more
radical moves in the reparation
crisis were factors which strength
ened values. Dry weather in the
southwest which threatened winter
wheat also was a bullish influence.
Offerings were light except from
traders in position to realize prof
its,
The opening which varied from un-
changed figures to 3-8 cents higher
was followed by gains all around.
Frances reselling of considerable
quantities of Canadian wheat afloat
in eastern lake points led to some
tn ng of setback in prices about
the middle Of the day. On the de-
cline the demand increased and the
market rallied. The close was firm
l 3-S higher.
