If YOU think business is worse,
il really may be. but only because
everyone else thinks the same.
The trouble with having nothing
YOU must do is YOU usually go and
do something you must not do.
Secrets are hardest to keep when
no one knows you have them.
A pessimist is man who would
want things different even if things
were different.
Being down in the mouth is a
fine way to get yourself all up in
the air.
A fool and his JOB are soon parted.
Men never know what to order in
restaurants, yet they kick about
the food served them at home.
No man thinks a woman is good
enough for him unless she is too
good.

There is intention even to try to emulate
Forida's scheme of campaign. The program of pro-

impression abroad during the six years when North
Dakota was pictured rendezvous for L. w. VS.,
communists, and bosheviks. Probably every paper
pictured conditions vastly worse than they were.
North Dakota has not gone along the socialistic
route far many states, but the noise made
about certain fallacious experiments in paternal-

North Dakota has taken turn in the road. 1t is
not probable that sOcialisc ventures will be

Editorial Comment
The President on Peace
est. Paul DiSDatch)

What Is the hope of peace in the world? In his
talk to the American Legion at Omaha today, Pres
ident Coolidge expressed his faith in international
| relations and agreements. But in doing so he di-
crossed somewhat to show how in peculiar way
the hope Of peace in the world rests upon America.
Simultaneously he gave to citizenship bit of
advice just peculiarly worth while
The United States he pictured a replica of the
world. Here we have represented all peoples, all
political opinions, all crecds, all racial peculiaritics
1t was his thought that if these peoples live
in harmony side by side in this country, the fact
will constitute demonstration to the world that
peace is possible among it's peoples.
The President has clear concept of the obstacles
to this peace within our own country. "One Of the
most natural reactions of the intolerance"
| During the We required not only to put
a strong emphasis everything that appealed to
| our own national pride but equally strong
phasis that which tended to disparage other
peoples There was intensive cultivation of ami
mosities and hatreds and enmities :"
But now, says the President, it is time to forget
them. LET us cast off hatreds,' he appeals.
I'VE do not need to be loud in the assertion of
own righteousness" THE problem have to
solve Is to make America first. 1t cannot be done
by cultivation of national bigotry arrogance
selfshness. atreds, jealousies and suspicious will
not be productive of any benefits in this direction"
He sees not only the danger of riding roughly
over opinions, feelings and rights of mnortes
He perceives in them a contribution to the intellec
tual life OF the nation "Whatcver tends to stand
ardize the community, to establish fixed and rigid
modes of thought, tends to fossilize society. II
all believed the same thing and thought the
thoughts and applied the same valuations to all
| currences about us, should reach state Of
equilibrium closely akin TO IAN intellectual and
spiritual paralysis
SO the President has scanned tho nation, observed
the irritaions which impede it's progress and well
being and prescribed tolerance for It's people There
can not be the slightest doubt to the soundncss
of his Judgment when recalls the of big
otry the tides Of feeling, the unwillingness to credit
the honesty of mnorities which have swept the land
President Coolidge pleads particularly for religion
tolerance, rightly perceivng that few things woull
be more unfortunate in community based upon the
ideals of which Americans boast than any consider.

Gas Masks for Animals
 Planned for Next Year

NEW YORK, July 23 (P)-A cat running amuck with a tomato can over it's head, once the evidence of juvenile prank, may not be such strange sight if the army continues to progress along lines of devising gas masks for animals. Today the Army Chemical Warfare Service announced that gas masks had been developed for carrier pigeons, dogs and horses. And now stray cats, white rabbits and other soldier mascots are beginning to sniff the air in suspicious fashion.
 The mask for horses and mules con- sists of cheese cloth bags which cov- CTS the nostrils and upper jaw only, as horses never breathe through the mouth. Neither do they cry, so the eyes need no covering against tear gas. The mask is carried in satchel on the breast harness when not in use.
 The dog mask is similar except that it covers upper and lower jaws. The carrier pigeons will not be required to wear individual masks like their ami nal mates in the service, but will be protected from chemical agents by a special gas cover drawn over the cage.
