Our recent contest to find the six

Is being contested. Many have writ

selected properly and did not make
their selection properly.
But that is the sway with every
contest. Look at Bok's peace plan
they had fight over who knew how
to make peace the best. While his
contest was not as large as ours, we
use the illustration to show that con-

MONEY MAKERS FOR WARD
COUNTY

We have a few farmers in our
locality who realize the value OF
the hog as a money maker. We
could name several parties here
who raise and market between
fifty and hundred hogs a year.
If every farmer had fifty hogs to
market Il year he would be realiz
ing around $4,000 a year on the
side. The feed can be easily
raised, and it does not take very
much money to provide proper
housing for hogs. In addition we
have some Of the largest hog
breeders in the state only three or
four miles from town, and whose
herds are from champion prize
winners.--Ryder (N. d. News.

ASKS SCOUT SUPPORT
Editor The Tribune:

Editor The Tribune:
The purpose of this letter is to an.
peal to the men of Bismarck on be-
half of the Boy Scout Movement,
and wish to begin by saying that it
is not an appeal for money.
One of the great things about the
Boy Scout Movement is that it does
not call for large outlay of money
and so does not build up "a barrier
keeping out boys or men of moderate
means. Bismarck needs and should
have several more Troops of Scouts,
and the only real reason we have not
more is that the men have not come
forward to act as Scoutmasters. The
average business, office or profess
sional man has practically the re-
qulrements for the work, that is,
health and strength, education, some
time which he should devote to re-
creation and relaxation from his bus
iness or profession, so if he has a
love for boys, which most men have.
though some seem unwilling to admit
1t, ne is about ready to make a start.
The program is so we'll laid out and
the boys take to it SO naturally that
little advice, little encouragement mt
and a man to get right in and Pal
with them is all that is required.
A Scout uniform costs no more
than good Sport or Hunting suit
and an axe or hike stick is Just as
good for exercise as a gun or golf
club, and the upkeep is much less,
while many men will find the Scouts
better companions for relief from
the daily grind Of business than the
Same Old Bunch from the office.
No Troop worthy of the name ex-
poets their Scout Master to spend a
lot of money on them nor do they
monopolize his time, but Troops do
not get started nor do they continue
unless some man helps a little. ).
Bismarck should have six or more
Troops of twenty four Scouts each
while every fellow who goes out al
the age of eighteen should wish "a

JUDGE SAYS MISTAKE is BEING
MADE

MADE.
Chicago divorce Judge believes
more dishes were broken last year
than during any year in the history
OF the world.
There are many broken and un-
broken ones tied up in his court as
evidence. A broken dish usually
means the woman didn't aim to throw
it. She merely turned loose and let
it. go.
When a dish hits a husband it
neither breaks nor bounces. When
it hits furniture it breaks without
bouncing. This belief that you can
take piece of china and bounce it
is all wrong.
SOCIETY.
Only 81 out of every 800 applicants
for chorus girl positions are fit for
the job, according to a New York
manager. This proves that you can't
always believe your looking glass.
SCIENCE NEWS.
Scientists tells how the earth was
divided into land and sea. Maybe
hc can tell how politics was divided
into oil and money.
HOME HELPS.
Caterpillars ate all the food in the
Transvaal so the natives are eating
the caterpillars.
EDITORIAL.
Mellon says he cannot reduce tax
es and pay a soldier bonus. We say
the soldier bonus is not the only
impediment. He can not redu .e
taxes and pay the oil men, for one
thing. And he cannot reduce taxes
and pay good many other things
that should be reduced, but are not.
Here is a suggestion: Maybe useless
expenses could be reduced.
BANK NOTES.
Two Chicago publishers were fined
$1,000 each for printing an alleged
salacious book. But they will make
it up, using this publicity to sell
their other books.

There are at present few vacan-

former members of one inactive
Troop around which could easily be
built another Troop, while there are
dozens of the finest of boys who
would like to be in the Scouts, if on

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON

Don't be shocked, dear. I'm only
saying what probably hundreds and
even thousands of married women
think every day of their lives. Meth
er Sam nor ] have been very nappy
since our marriage, which was a great
mistake.
Both of US saw this before we had
been married month, and I expect
Sam has been just as anxious 70 get
away from me as I have been to get
away from him.
Of course, could not leave him
alone during his blindness, but now
that he has got back his sight, feel
perfectly justified in getting out of
this mess as soon as possible.
Sam and do not think alike on
any subject in the world. He is a
very good business man along his
own lines. He has no vision. He
will never be anything but a plain
employe, clubbing along on good
salary. He is always afraid to take
the initiative.
