The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-04-23

President Coolidge may break custom and
set precedent this year by making his Memo
rial Day address on the Gettysburg battlefield
instead of in the Arlington cemetery. That
he is contemplating visiting the famous Civil
war battlefield on May 80 is known.
Though presidential address at Arlington
has become Memorial Day tradition, it seems
fitting that president should make pilgrim
age on that day to the scene of the decisive
battle of the war that preserved the union Of
states. 1t was there President Lincoln made
his immortal address, and it is a shrine to
which every president since Lincoln has trav-
eled and which every American hopes to see.
Arlington is national Valhalla. sacred to
the heroes of all the wars in which the Unit
ed States has engaged. AS the national GEM
etery and last "bivouac" of veterans of all the
countrys wars, it is an appropriate setting for
the Memorial Day address of the chief execu-
tive.
However, the presidents address will lose
none of it's solemn significance by being de-
livered at Gettysburg. Upon this famous and
beautiful field of battle stand side by side
monuments to both the Blue and the Gray.
From there Mr.. Coolidge can speak to all the
nation, both figurativey and literally, for the
'1bloody shirt" no longer waves at Gettysburg
and tourists from North and South mingle
there in vast numbers.

Editorial Comment
Western North Dakota
Fargo FOrum)

study of Rural Changes in Western
North Dakota" recently made by Mr.. f. A.
Wilson, Mr.. H. c. Hoffsommer and DR.. A. H.
Benton, under the auspices Of the North Da-
kota Experiment Station, is an interesting and
valuable contribution to current information
about that area.
This study, made public in bulletin known
as Bulletin No. 214 of the Experiment Sta
ton, throws a clarifying light on the move
ment of settlers from farms, and the change IN
the numbers Of farms in western North Da-
kota The bulletin and the information it con-
tains is presented more at length elsewhere in
this issue.
Almost all of western North Dakota was
homestcaded from 1900 to 1920, and the greater
part of it from 1910 to 1920. This then has
been a period of pioneering. The country is
still new, still in the very early stages OF devel-
Opment, and conditions necessarily have been
such as to draw some criticism from those &C.
customed to living in older settled regions.
Naturally it has been period of readjust-
ment Thousands of the original homesteaders
have pulled stakes and gone. This was to be
expected. 1t has been the experience OF every
section Of America, west of the Allegheny
mountains. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, all went through this Pc
Rod of read justment.
The important thing is, that with the going
of the horde of free land seekers, great num-
bers Of whom took the land only as matter
of speculation, and with no intent to stay and
farm it. the real farmers who have stuck have
found it possible to create a farm unit large
enough to make it possible to operate on an
economic and paying basis.
This bulletin shows that, while there was
big decrease in the number of farms and farm
ers shown by the census report of 1920 and
1925, the acreage in crops in 1926 was "un-
doubtedly the greatest in the history of the
area"
There is an ever increasing competition for
this western land by farmers who want to build
permanent farm homes for themselves. Many
who have been renting are buying.
From 1924 to 1926 there was an increase of
nine per cent in the number of farms in twelve
typical areas of one township each, studied in
this investigation, compared to decrease of
21.5 per cent during the five previous years.
This study presents information of great sig
nificance to the State as whole. 1t shows that
this area has now reached the stage where it
has become factor Of tremendous Importance
as wealth producing area. Western North
Dakota can be depended on to provide an ever
measure of new wealth.

IN NEW YORK

New York, April 23.-Years ago,
when grandfathers wore whiskers
and grandmothers hadn't learned
how to peroxide their silver hair.
there was a highly popular musical
comedy called 1.-THE Belle of Avenue
A." Its scenes were peopled by
rough girlies who had wandered
over from the Bowery and by the
colorful characters one found on
this gay highway Of New York's
East Side.
1t put Avenue A on the map, "a
surely as the Bowery was tattooed
on the public mind by that bawdy
old song: "The Bowery, the Bowery!
They do such things and they say
such things. -.
Well, they're going to change the
name of Avenue A to York Street,
or something equally refined. That
is, if somebody doesn't stop them.
Not that this is likely to make much
difference to someone reading his
favorite newspaper in Colorado,
Missouri and way states. But it's
going to make lot Of difference to
the East Side. It's another sign Of
the influence over that section which
the urtown belt IS exerting.

admittedly the Ghetto, is the Broad

April j: RatlOning scheduled to be

Food supplies Of unfortunate FAM

Last summer, at the peak of the
problem, the Red Cross claims to.
have served more than 100000
meals day.
It's expenditures included $5,O00,-
900 for food, $2,250,00O for seed, ST.
100000 for building and repairs,
$75O,000 for household furnishings
and 100000 for livestock and poul-
try. More than 1,68O,OOO acres of
land are said to have been planted
with Red Cross seed.
The flood-stricken area covered
about 10000 square miles.
The largest expenditures by states
were $5,5O0,00O in Louisiana, $5.-
100000 in Mississippi and $4,000
600 in Arkansas. The other $2,0OO,-
600 was divided between Tennessee,

PEOPLES FORUM
THE NORTH DAKOTA DEMO-
CRATIC MULE
Medina, n. d.,
April 10, 1928.
TOMORROW:

April ~, 1873.
Editor Tribune:
The Democratic mule of North
Dakota is very tough but much
abused animal. He was never very
large, although at one time he was
very lively and always ready to
kick the elephant who, % the mules
way of thinking, was not walking
in the narrow path.
The mule even grew large enough
to carry one Democrat to the gov
ernor's chair, but sad to say he has
fallen into the hands of bad hostlers.
They should have known that his
principal food was ballots, but, in
stead Of feeding him ballots, they
fed the ballots to the elephant. So
now poor donk is quite q runt. We
are afraid he will not survive the
June primary because we hear that
Mr.. Simons. the chief hostler, says
not to feed any ballots which are
cast by Democratic friends of the l.
v. A. party.
In view of the fact the I. v. A.
boys are going to quit feeding him,
it is for us long haired radicals
to quit also and help feed the ele-
plant.
We often hear the saying, "A
house divided against itself can not
stand" Will that apply to this
mule? 1t appears that this mule is
radical at one end and conservative
at the other end. The poor donk
can not get his balance. The radi-
!; cal end thinks that North Dakota
should be able to take care of her
own business. should be able to store
her own grain, and should be able to
manufacture it into finished prod
ucts, without help from outside
states or dictation from any one.
l am not able to say what the con-
sentative end thinks because it ap.
pears to me that that is the end
which does not think at all.
| There was a time when Mr..
! Simons and the writer could work
in double harness but now we ap-
pear to be pulling in opposite direc-
tions, so, there is nothing to do ex-
cept unhitch and each one 60 his
own way.
In the article in the Bismarck
Tribune on April Ia, signed by one
of the executive committee, they call
on the Democrats who are opposed
to radicalism to register as Repub-
licans. What they mean by radical
i ism is interfering with the big boys
TIT have always controlled the mar
iieting of the North Dakota crops.
A majority of the Democratic exc
live committee may be opposed to
the plan Of the Nonpartisan League,
but surely not q majority of the
Democratic voters. So the register
ing as Republicans is a game which
all may play. When the votes are
counted after the June primary. we
Twill take one more look at the mule
/ and if he survives there may be .
chance in the future to get him a diff
ferent chief hostler.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, April ga year
after the Mississippi flood reached
the proportions Of q great disaster,
the Red Cross has reh9bilitated the
hundreds of thousands sof flood VIC
Tins as effectively as it could with
the $4,000, 900 relief fund At its dis
posal.
As late Is March some 81 900 VIC
Tins were still being fed by the Red
Cross, according to the organiza-
tons figures. Today only . very
few families, their needs carefully
investigated by local chapters, are
still receiving free food and other
help.
The $17,o00,0o0 has all been spent
except for . small amount needed
for continuation work in = few of
the hardest hit counties of Illinois,
Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
That great relief fund, according
to the Red Cross, was used to care
for more than 100000 persons in
one way or another. This recon-
struction aid was administered in
the form of rebuilding and repair.
ing homes, procuring household
goods, clothing, livestock and poul-
try, feed, seed, farm implements
and providing food and medical care.
It is still too early to tell how
many persons will be receiving con-
tinuation aid after the end of this
year of work and expenditure, but
the number may 60 into the thou
sands.
Although national interest in the
flood sufferers subsided after q
month or two, the number Of cases
cared for was higher last February
than it had been since July. The
Red Cross provides the following
table showing the number of ref
ugees given food, shelter, medical
attention or other service from
month to month:
