lens now before the legislature.
Discussion Monday afternoon on
house bills Nos. 81 and 1877, relating

provides that all county and city
property, except that used for strict.
" administrative purposes, shall be
taxed No. 1877 provides that school,
church and charitable institution
property be exempt.
An attempt TO place even this
property on the tax rolls, proposed
by Representative Ed Sims, was
voted down.

4 WINTER PASTIME

The state is about to bond itself,
and that means you and me, for be-
tween 100000 ard $1,000,000 to
furnish capital to run the state
mill and elevator during the time
while it is establishing a market so
! the mill can be run at full capacity.
and therefore on paying basis.
fProbably none of the enthusiasts in
behalf of this state industry ever
gave thought to the money, time
and uncertainty involved in the
acquisition Of plant such as pri-
vate capital would only have ac-
quired gradually after long years
of expansion in market. Yet here
We wise guys of North Dakota are
trying an experiment that no pluto
crat without experience woulC
dream of taking on.
And when the mill is established
on full time as we sincerely hope
it will eventually be, what are we
going to get out Of it? Will it have
increased the price Of wheat and
lowered the price Of flour and thus
made itself the business marvel Of
the age, or will we have 20 be con
tent with the glory OF demonstrate
ing that Il state can run business
as economically as practical bust
ness men? That may be fine for Il
state, but if you and | were doing
the stunt we would invest in some
thing We understood that would re-
duce our expenses and give us a
reasonable return for our money.
When the state treasurer calls
for coin to pay the interest on
those bonds and the call is passed
on to us in the shape of increased
taxes, it will give us a pleasant
winter paStime to figure out the
savings we have made on our -four
bill and gains ON the price of
wheat, by reason of this new part
ncrship in manufacturing industry.

THE GOSPEL OF HEALTH

or all the achievements of the
Rockefeller Foundation during the
1lrSt ten years of it's existence,
nothing stands out so strikingly as
its work in prevention of disease.
Not only has it fought and In large
areas eliminated yellow fever. but
II has done much to control the
less virulent malaria and hook
worm. Though they took no
death toll comparable to yellow
fever, they yet brought suffering
and disability to millions of per-
sons. In France the Foundation
also conducted successful cam
paign for checking tuberculosis,
and in this city devoted a part of
its funds to the study of the pre-
vention of infantile paralysis. Az
a result, hundreds of thousands of
lives have probably been saved.
and certainly the health and hap
plness of millions have been
gained.
Great as has been the devotion of
scientists and doctors working in
laboratories and hospitals to the
men in the field goes the main
credit for spreading this gospel of
health under conditions which have
often been as arduous as those
which faced the early missionaries.
These agents of the Foundation
have had to combat superstition
and sometimes open hostility. Ig-
norance has been their worst foe.
and next to it the weight of GUS
tom and tradition. Often facing
personal danger from the disea ses
which they were fighting, these
health missionaries have gone
about their work upcOmplainingly,
receiving smaller material re-
ward than they could have earned
had they stayed at home, but reap
ing the gratitude of those whom
they have succored. Into the dis
ease-ridden tropics of Central and
South America they have carried
the secret of health, and to the
over-crowded regions of China they
have brought the first rudiments of
sanitation.
This is a magnificent enterprise.

| don't know how long ] was lying
on the bed, little Marquisc, after |
had closed the door on Jack. | only
know that it seemed as though my

, sobs.
Pretty soon | heard a tapping on
the bedroom door and Jack called,
Leslie" | did not answer.
A louder tapping and Il louder
voice, "Lcslic."
Then | did not answer.
: Don't be fool, Leslie. Open the

Slowly | rose to my. feet and went
into the bathroom and tried to take
some Of the tear stains from my
face. My eyes were almost swollen
shut

band. | didn't want to make up.

ment of all kinds and who was now
very angry because l had put little
more money into something which
was to make us both more comfort
able than he had expected.
Like a dog in the manger he
would neither help me to fit out the
apartment nor be satisfied with it.
when | had finished.
Again Jack was knocking, this
time so loud that I was afraid the
people in the other apartments on
either side would hear him. Quickly
|. l went to the door and opened it.

81 never realized it would cost so
much more for two people to live
than for one. I wish 1 had hold of
that liar who has spoken to the CON

Then he laughed, took me into his
arms and whispered with his mouth
close to my ear, 81 do love you, lit
tie girl. and know l am hard to
live with.

wife. his stenographer, his best
friend or his barber; that's the per-
son that has to play martyr while
he applies the modern torturcs OF

In the meantime he had picked up
pieces when Nancy came in in her
little magic green shoes and pointed
her finger.
"Fie on you, Mr.. OWL" she said
"You ought to be ashamed Of your
self. You are the mussiest person
in the forest and your ncighbors
