Certainly, ma'am," said Mike
obligingly. "What about F."

"All right" said Nancy. "Now
everybody keep quiet" she corn
manded, turning to the rest of the
pupils in Dreamland School. "Lis-

You may learn something"
Nobody wanted to learn anything
but they all listened anyway-for a
minute.

hard in winter" said Mike impor-

By John Il, Belk

The sun peeped over the hills on
the morning of Aug. 9Th, 1898. A
slight breeze from the southwest
was uncomfortable and all signs
presaged hot day. By eleven o'clock
every device had been employed to
"cool things off bit"
Business and work progressed in
the same desultory manner as it
had for years. We store people only
worked from seven in the morning
to ten and eleven at night, except
this particular night.
At &:15 p. m. the fire alarm
sounded. At $500 m. on the 9th
we had no place to work; our main
business section was smoking ruins.
A calamity? Apparently, but it act
ed on our people as cold water to
one about to faint. gag
Bismarck went to work on the 9th
in a different manner. Forgetful
of bowie knife" politics and petty
jealousies, but with a will to build a
better Bismarck on the ashes of old
Even through the grief they grew
because they were bound together
by a common purpose for the COM
mon good"
Then the war aftermath. Restraint
removed. 1t seemed as if pent ur
follies of centuries burst forth and
We were as mad populace. The
magnet had been lost. Cohesiveness
gave way to riot of inanity and
purposeful effort, if any, was scat
tered. The construction movement
hesitated. 1t seemed as if Bismarck
was to drift once more.
Then the Civic Club Drive of 1922
"a coming back of civic pride and a
new organization full of American
"pep" and public spirit for Greater
Bismarck. They adopted for their
slogan "A Common Purpose For the
Common Good"
The slogan became a fetch. They
learned to feel that day lost in which
no thought or deed for the better
went, of their city had enriched
them.

BISMARCK AND THE FUTURE

You knew the old town. Let US
take a trip aloft that we may bet
ter see what many minds and hearts
with but a single purpose have
wrought. The widest fancies of the
fire victims far exceeded.
See, now! The first impression is
of a great spider web with the city
the convergihg point of network
of wonderful roads. Hundreds of au-
tomative vehicles from great burden
bearing machines down to little
business bugs" coming and going
in all directions. That white streak
lying east and west is the National
Parks Highway, paved from st. Paul
to the coast.
u Near that great bridge at the
western edge of the city is tour
lists rendezvous that for complete
tness and comfort is renowned the
country over.
About a mile up-river, on the
heights above the R. R. bridge, are
the city reservoirs. They are barely
discernible due to the wonderful
landscape parking that has been done
there. 1t is a great recreation ground.
}. To 'the right of this, that large
open green beyond the Country Club.
is the landing field for the trans.
continental air mail service. The
large buildings are hangers and re-.
pair buildings. A large force is en-
pioyed there.
Still farther to the right that
stately edifice, in the midst of that
pretty park, is the new Capitol build
ing which replaced a miserable old
pile" Famous landscape gardeners
did the parking.
To the north of the city proper
there, are the Ignite mines and the
manufacturing district. The interur-
ban line to the north country, you
see, passes through that way.
Now We pass over the final rest
ing places of many who have helped
to make Bismarck. Loving hands
have made these places beauty spots.
They were once a long drive from
the city limits.

and roots and stones and holes
Sometimes, it is full of mountains
and rivers, and sometimes it is full
times it is full of potatoes and car
rots. These things are nuisance.
All that count are earth-worms
which like very much"
Mike bowed and sat down, smooth
ing his velvet coat. He liked Dream
land, but he wished spring would
come so he could so back home.
There were no worms in Dream
land!
Every good, Nike" said Nancy.

CHILD LABOR

Hearings are announced by the
judiciary committee of the United
States senate on proposed constitu-
tional amendments designed to
abolish child labor. The United
States Supreme court having an
nulled two successive and different
federal statutes regulating the Ia
Dor of children, congress is now
definitely estopped from dealing
effectively with the important
problem. Congress can neither tax
the products of child labor, except
in the District of Columbia and the
territories, nor exclude such pro-
ducts from Interstate commerce.
Only a constitutional amendment
comforting upon the national legls-
lature the power to regulate child
labor would remove the obstacles
pointed out by the Supreme court.
However, there is considerable
confusion of mind. even in con-
gress, in connection with one as
pect Of the matter. The hearings
on child labor, it is stated, will at
tempt to elicit the views of various
organizations and schools of
thought in respect of uniform
standards for child labor to- be i'm
posed on the states by congress.
1t is explained that the present
child-labor laws of the states con-
stitute a sort of "crazy quilt" and
that reasonable unifOrmality in
standards as to ages, conditions OF
work and sanitary conveniences
must be sought.
AS matter of fact, the question
of standards is totally separate
and distinct from that of power
and authority to prescribe and en-
force them. +? The child-labor
amendment should merely confer
the requisite power on congress.
1t should be an enabling amend
ment purely If the states ratify
such an amendment--and.t the pro-
cess will take time--the Question
of standards and detailed regula-
lions will next claim attention.
1t is premature and unwise to
complicate the issue of principle
with set of issues concerning
standards.-Chicago News.

to Winona in Emmons county, about
100 miles in all.

buildings that was once a military
garrison. 1t is now a renowned edu.
cational institution.

forms our southern boundary, re-
presents the work of years and the
expenditure of millions. A great dam
on the Missouri below what was once

there also we get light and power

city. To view the beauties of the
streets, boulevards, homes and bust

BRITISH COMMONWEALTH OF
NATIONS

Within a few days the great Brit
ish Empire will cease to exist. The
time has come-~when the wide
flung empire, regarded as standing
as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar,
will pass away and it will be sue
ceeded by the British Common
wealth of Nations.
Not so long ago the British mon
archs termed themselves kings of
Great Britain and Ireland and en-
perors of India. Now they will be
kings of Great Britain, the Free
State Of Ireland and the overseas
dominions. The new common
wealth marks the passing of Eng
land as the dominant portion OF the
great British state. and the recog-
milton of Canada, South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand as ma
tions which have a part in one
grand federation
The participation of the self
governing dominions in the affairs
of the British nation has come
about through an agitation which
had its birth shortly following the
World War. and is a whole-hearted
recognition of what each of them
did for imperial defense. The frui-
ton Of the dream OF Hughes sof
Australia and Smutz of South Afri-
ca was deferred until the question
OF ireland could be settled. This
out OF the way, the British Com
morwealth Of Nations. with the
Irish Free State as member. Will,
within a few days. become an ac-
cOmplished fact.-Tacoma Leader.

BrOnner Sizes Up
"COue'S Game
BY Milton ErOnner
NEA Staff Carresn0ndent

Nancy, France, Jan. 1S.v"What's
this man Coue's gamer"
That's question have been cold
bloodedly asking myself ever since
have been attending the far-famed
Emile Coue autosuggestion clinics
here.
And / have concluded there isn't
any game except the desire to help
| people.
If he soaked people big fee TO,
his services, Americans would wink
the other eye and say, THAT'S it,
But he doesn't charge any fees.
every person who comes to the
clinics is welcome and every person
gets the same treatment and gets it
for nothing.
If one wants to, he can buy lit
tie French book in which Coue eX-
:, plains his system. But the book
isn't pushed on you and it's cost is
only two francs. The Is cents you
pay for it just about pays for paper
and printing.
Also old Marie, Coue's maid, has
on sale pictures of Coue in his clinic
Nth his patients. But here, again,
tire price is so nominal that it mere
lS pays for photography and paper.
z Like Religious Leader
Perhaps the better way to get at
the secret of Coue is to compare
him to the founder of new reli-
gion. The latter wants all the world
to have the happiness he is sure it
will bring to them.
That is the way with Coue. He is
sure he has got hold Of great truth
which other men have appreciated
| only in part. He is sure he has in
| vented formula and method by
! the most of this truth and get the
most out of it. And he brings to
his work the passion, the faith and
the fervor Of the evangelist. Only
it must always be made. clear that
in Coueism there is nothing in the
way of new religion or cult.
Coue finds the doctors agreeing
with him. Distinguished medical
men of France, Switzerland, Bel
GUM and Great Britain have recog.
nized the value of the. work he is
doing.
Coue himself thinks every physi.
clan can profitably use autosugges-
tion in his practice.
Seeks Doctors Friendship
One of the goals he has set for
himself on his present visit te
America is to interest the medical
profession of the United States in
what he is doing and has done. He
is confident, if they watch him work
and observe the results he obtains
that they will be friendly and not
| hostile.
From my own observation and ex-
periences here, l would say that
Coue's greatest value to people is
that he brings health gospel OF
hope and optimism instead of de.
! spair and pessimism.
l don't know how teachers of the
Coue method will succeed, but Coue
himself simply radiates cheer. AnG
it's contagious, that and the belief
in the power of the Imagination, the
unconscious mind, over the body.
