This Number in State

Minot, N. D., May 19.-Details OF
the tremendous amount of work con-
current with the task of the North
Dakota Gideons in raising funds to
purchase $4,000 Bibles with which to
supply every hotel room in this state
with Bible were related here Sat
urd3y night by George F. Powell OF
Minneapolis before the annual state
convention of the Gideons.
According to present plans, Mr..
Powell said, the final cash offering
will be completed on July 6 and as
soon. as arrangements can be made,
carload of Bibles, travelling by
freight, will start on its long tour
from New York City to North Dako-
ia. The entire sides of the car, he
said, will be placarded, bearing the
words "The entrance of Thy Word
giveth Light and below this the
text, This car contains $4,000 Bibles

hotels of the State Of North aDkota.

QUICK ACTION FROM TAX CUTS

The day after the reading of the
New British budget prices began 20
fall in England. Tea sold for 3
cents cheaper, sugar for cents
cheaper.
This is partly because the gov
eminent intends to take taxes Off
of these two commodities. or to
lower them. and partly because
dealers wished to get rid of stocks
before the slump in price reached
the bottom.
In any case. the happening illus
trates the fact that British con-
sumers get quicker action from
legislation in their benefit than do
American consumers.
This, We suspect, is for the rea-
son. that Britons are not used to a
continuous flood of laws and take
seriously suchs laws as are passed.
Here, laws come to us like water
from broken main.
We expect most Of these laws to
be plain nuisances. When one
comes along that is really bene-
fetal we wait for practical dem
OnStratiOn before believing in it.

ture mean nothing.-Toledo Blade

Miss Anderson, is a very charming
and clever woman, and she has the
greatest influence over the matter.
She has made it perfectly apparent
to my mother that my house should
be run for me and not for the sake
Of the servants and furniture in it.
Mother did not even find any fault
when ] brought Mrs. Atherton home
to dinner a half an hour late the
other night.
OF course she has nothing to do
with the running Of the house, but
fully expected not only to be found
fault with for being late to- dinner,
but also for bringing my secretary
home with me. Miss Anderson very
tactfully conveyed the news to moth-
er, however, that Mrs. Anterior was
an old school friend of Leslic's. 1
don't think mother, however, would
J have been so complaccnt had she

| had never been in our house before.
