CASH-IN-ADVANCE TALK
(By the PubliSher)


We wish every subscriber thought
enough of this paper to pay his or
her subscription strictly in advance
Many of them do, but some do not. We
think a great deal of our subscribers
There is nothing within the bounds OF
reason we would not do for them.
But some thoughtless souls overlook
some facts concerning this paper
which we now bring to their atten,'
ton.
Subscriptions do not sustain this
paper. 1t takes lots of advertising to
make up the deficit between the cost
of running this paper and the sub
scription revenue.
1t costs money, time and effort to
secure subscribers and keep them re-
newed. That cost must be passed on
to subscribers and advertisers. The
losses in the business must be alb
seed by the profits, if there are any.
Certain credit arrangements are IS
u.ia,ly necessary in any business
we have been pleased to extend a
rea sonable credit on subscriptions to
subscribers who needed credit. But
we cannot believe that all who ac-
cept credit really need it. Certainly
credit should not be considered for
an indefinite period.
: Our subscription list is a perman-
ent asset of this paper. Many sub
scribers have been listed for years
and years. They are like old friends
to a publisher. If we had to go out and
renew every subscriber, our subscrip-
ton costs would be prohibitive. We
are striving to furnish high class
publication at lowest cost. Your CO.
operation in the matter of subscr'p-
ton payments is earnestly requested.

New Anestheuc Proves
Success With 1O6 Cases

,Chicago.-Use of ethylene as an an
esthetic in 106 cases at the Presbyte-
rian hospital has demonstrated that
1t surpasses both ether and nitrous OK
ide, Dr. A. B. Luckhardt Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, discoverer Of the
anesthetic properties Of the gas, told
the Institute Of Medicine. He added
that 10 other surgeons, all of the Pres
byterian staff, who have used the gas,
declared 1t induces better relaxation
than other anesthetics.
The 100 operations were performed
between March Ia and April 20, and
were Of both minor and major charac-
ter They included four birth cases
and one operation performed by DR..
N. S. Heney,. which lasted one hour
and fifty minutes. In this last case
the patient revived within five min
utes. Many patients not susceptible
to nitrous oxide are anesthetized by
the ethylene.
Only two failures have been en-
countered. In one case mixture Of
30 to 95 per cent ethylene and oxy-
gen produced analgesia Gloss Of pain),
but not complete anesthesia. In the
other case the patient was unaffected.
However, these exceptions are to be
expected, 1t is declared, as some per-
sons are Immune to anesthetics.
DR.. A. j. Carlson of the physiology
department Of the University of Chi
cago, voiced the opinion that, in the
light Of present results, ethylene will
probably supplant ether and nitrous
oxide.

Pension for Bunion;
Nothing for Lost Foot

Notwithstanding to their treat
ment of a local ex-soldler, the Ministry
of Pensions attaches more value to
bunion than foot, says an Aberdeen
dispatch to the London Daily News.
The ex-soldier was incapacitated
during the war by an injury to his
foot, and bunion grew on the affected
part. It was clearly sequel to the
mans war service, and he was granted
q small pension.
But his condition became worse, and
he had to enter the hospital, where
his foot was amputated at the ankle.
He has now been notified by the Min
istry that his pension has been with
drawn because the disability has
passed away.
Bunion, foot, and pension all gone.

Hole in Bead Saves Tot
From Choking to Death

Atlantic City, N. J.-Howard, the
three-year-old son of Daniel Watson,
owes his life to his ability to breathe
through the small hole in glass bead
lodged in his throat.
A few weeks ago the child was
seized with a fit of coughing. The
family physician, unable to discover
the cause, advised an X-ray photo
graph.
The photograph is said to have
failed to show any distractions. He
was seized with another coughing spell
just as his parents were about to take
him to a Philadelphia specialist. The
coughing dislodged the glass bead. For
tunately the bead had lodged cross
wise in his throat and the little fell
low was able to get his breath through
the hole.

THE BUILDING
KIWANIANS

Up from Georgia come news dis
patches telling of resolutions passed
by the convention of Kiwanis inter
national, the organization which in
cludes all the Kiwanis clubs. The ac-
tive, energetic, responsible men of this
organization have pledged themselves
to seed earnestly a remedy for war,
to foster the observance of Mothers
day and to give aid to disabled veter-
ans.
The Kiwanis clubs of America are
building organizations. Their motto
is I'VE Build" They are not supposed
to be content to be merely luncheon
clubs nor are they properly describ-
ed by the term boosting organfza-
TONS" For the booster is bally-
hooer, beater Of drums, one who
keeps shouting forward! Never Say
Die! Keep it Up!" The booster some
times champions a progress that fs
not sound just because IT. is progress.
But the Kiwanians have turned their
attention, not to shouting, but to
building. They essay to look to the
foundation before the super-structurc.
They go after sane progress, some
times slowly for the sake of sureness
rather than pell-mell and ,uproarously
for the sake Of qualification and ap-
plause.
There Is wise provision in the Ki-
wants organization that those who
become members shall be owners,
proprietors, partners or executives
Of business or, for alternative, skilled
specialists. The members are there
fore, resumed to be trained men, men
accustomed to think, to arrive at de-
cisions and to act upon them. This IS
the right stuff out Of which to fash
ion building organization.
And in the hands of such men,
movements for peace, for the glorifi-
cation Of motherhood and for service
to service men should reach maxi
mum effectiveness. Kiwanis will sadly
disappoint America If they do not.
But the Kiwanians must remember
that resoluting is not in itself build
ing They must remember, too, that
having the farilities for service, the
men and the brains and the tools, does
not necessarily mean doing the work.
And they must realie that while the
idea of Kiwanis cannot fail, the men
who call themselves Kiwanians can
fail by failing to grasp that idea.
Good thinkers among the Kiwan
ians know that there is danger OF
this. In the Kiwanis magazine some
months ago a writer exclaimed, "How
Great would be the failure of such an
enterprise were it to be but lunch
con club =. . =. such club is only a
place where men gather to eat to-
gether because man does not like 10
eat alone, in solitude. Such an Or
ganization serves no higher purpose
than selfishly to feed upon it's self
ishness." And then he went on to say
that while it may be worth something
merely to bring men to meet other
men and to get an exchange OF thot,
true progress, true building, comes
only through translating friendship
and thought into action.
The dispatches from Atlanta, which
recalled to mind this comment, sug-
gest a great responsibility for the
Kiwanians. What a tragedy it would
be-though not a tragedy uncommon
in the world of clubs if the high
purposes developed and expressed at
such convention should be frittered
into nothingness at the tables of a

Find 2,OOO-Year-Old
Skeleton in Scotland

Edinburgh.-A grave, believed
to be 1000 years old, has been
discovered in Kincardineshire,
Scotland.
Digging on his farm, a Cater
line farmer came upon pecu-
liarly marked slab about four
feet below the surface, and I'M
der this were four other slabs
of larger size. Beneath all was
full-size human skeleton, with
an ancient urn beside the skull.
Antiquarians pronounce the
grave to be typical of the Bronze
age, and experts are further in
vestigating the discovery.

NEXT MEETING
OF SHERIFFS
Banquet Closes Meeting of
Law Enforcing Officials
In the City

The sheriffs of North Dakota will
hold their next convention at Minot
next summer at time to be named
later, they decided yesterday while

with the state affairs committee of

on proposed legislation to reduce the
mileage allowed for official travel,
from % cents a mile to 10 or Is
cents mile.

present allowance is not more than
enough to cover cost of travel and
that such reduction would hamper
their efficiency throughout the
state.
The meeting did not, however, &C.
cording to Odin- OVERLY, Grand Forks
county, president Of the sheriff's as
sociation, pass any resolutions or
take any other action against the
proposed reduction, being willing to
leave the matter with the legislature
after having presented the sheriffs'
sid of the case.
Two of the features of yesterdays 8
sessions were talks by w. F. McClel-
land, superintendent Of the STAGE
Training School at Mandan, and Dis
trict Judge HI In Berry, also of
Mandan. The former told Of the work
being done at the training school
while the judge spoke Of the duties

NEW LAWSON
BANKING ARE
ADVOCATED
House and Senate Commit.

Discuss Situation
CONSOLIDATION PLAN

Much new legislation may be en-
acted regarding the banking indus
try in North Dakota, A. G. Divet
counsel for the North Dakota Bank.
ers association, told members of the
senate and house banking commit.
tees here. Among the first pro.
posals which may be taken up by the
committees in the bank consolidation
bill draft by Mr.. Divet.
Among the principal points Of the
consolidation bill are:
l. Notice must be given of inten.
tion as protection to all stockhold-
ers.
2. Two-thirds of stockholders of
both institutions must approve.
3. Merged institution must have
at least two-thirds of capital of the
two merged.
a. Corporations must be in such
condition that nothing but perfectly
sound merged corporation should re-
suit.
5. Conditions must satisfy state
examiner.
6. Matter must go before district
court for approval.
1t was estimated by Mr.. Divet that
the quickest time in which con
solidation or merger could be effect
ed, under the proposed bill was two
and half to three months. Such
time would be necessary, he said, in
order for all the steps to be accom-
plished. After the stockholders had
voted for the consolidation and the
bank examiner satisfied, it would be
necessary for petition to be filed
in district court and publication
made in newspaper for a period of
three weeks. If no one appeared in
objection 20 days after the publica-
tion it would be the courts duty to
order the consolidation. If there
was any opposition by any parties,
the court would hold hearing, and
if any creditor showed he was in
danger of substantial loss an indeml
nifty bond would be required to pro-
tect him.
Other suggestions for bank legis-
lation were advanced.
Too Many Banks.
Mr.. Divet read letter from State
Examiner Gilbert Semingson stating
there was no provision in the present
law whereby a charter for a bank
could be refused, and suggested there
should be legislation permitting the
refusal to issue a charter to q bank
if a town was already 'over-banked."
Mf. Divet said this seemed to him
like common sense proposition;
that the number Of banks should be
limited to those needed to serve a
Another suggestions Of the examin-
er was regarding power to levy as
sessment against stockho olders.
There is no exception for banks in
the present laws regarding the levy
ing of assessments. Banks, as other
may assess stockhold-
ers 10 per cent Mr.. Divet said some
banks have wanted to make assess-
ments to strengthen themselves, and
found they could not do it. Many
banks might have been saved if this
could have been done, he said.
