Lakes to Sea

If you have been wondering whether the pro-
posed lakes to-the-sea ship canal would be worth
the digging, consider this bit of news from
New York:
An American steamship company has been
formed to provide, this summer, direct water
shipments from inland lake ports to Europe. It
will put into service small steamers that can
negotiate the existing locks and canals between
Lake Erie and the Atlantic, and will give ,25-
day service from Lake Michigan to England:
Ports Of call will be Milwaukee, Detroit and
Cleveland; American manufacturers who
patronize the line are assured that their trans
portation costs will be radically reduced by this
all-water route.
That is what is being done with the present
small canals. It is an indication, in small
way, of what would happen with full-sized locks
and channels connecting the lakes with the
ocean.

Entering the Crisis Biennium

Whenever George F. Shafer is candidate
for state office. and he has often been cand-
date and always successfully, he sees the state
facing the greatest political and economic crisis
in it's history
The present campaign is no exception. We
are again at the crisis state Of affairs or per-
haps entering the crisis biennium period, Shafer
informs us.
Mr. Shafer has attained much skill in de-
filming and celebrating our crises for us. AS
a coniurer of the dark and the forebodng
politically he is past master.
Yet none of the crises Mr.. Shafer has pre-
dicted for this state have ever amounted to
much. AT any rate they have attained nothing
like the proportions he declared they would at
tain in his campaign perorations.
North Dakota does not want branch banking
on a state basis. 1t is not going to have it. The
people will attend to that. That is the plain fact
of the matter and every lucid thinker knows it.
Mr.. Shafer and his good friends who again see
a crisis in the branch bank issue are simply
crystal-gazing. Perhaps they will succeed in
quite effectively terrifying themselves.
But the panic should not be permitted to
spread This is the sort of doctrine that in the
past has done more than any other thing to adj
versely advertise this state and to destroy its
credit and its prestige.
Mr.. Shafer briefs his case effectively. He
briefs all Of bis cases effectively, but there is
a rather impressive record OF jury reverSalS,
with the people Of this state constituting the
jury.
Mr.. Shafer is simply seeing things at night.
He is rafting the weasel skin to make political
medicine.
There is no crisis in North Dakota.
If there is it is in the political fortunes Of our
crisis-makers. OF that there is some indica-
ton.
Mr.. Shafer and his friends are unduly
magnifyng an unimportant issue, meanwhile
making themselves somewhat ridiculous.
They forcibly recall the picture of the
spinster teacher, who has climbed high chair
and drawn her skirts about her in terror Of a
mouse.
The only crisis in this campaign is such as
concerns the pie. About that there is reason
able question, of course. Obviously there are
situations where disbursement of the pie might
create for some a crisis. Perhaps this is what
Mr.. Shafer really sees in his political crystal
gazing adventures.

There are at the present day fully six times
as many students in American colleges and uni
versities as there were 80 years ago, according
to figures compiled by the Federal Bureau OF
Education.
There is something for you to think about,
if you are beginning to get pessimistic about
our future. Grant that not all of our colleges
are as efficient as they ought to be; grant that
many young people do not attend them
primarily to get an education; nevertheless the
figures reflect spread of enlightenment, de-
sire for knowledge, that are tremendously en-.
couraging.
A democracy to function at all, must be
educated These figures indicate that America
is finding the right path.

The pioneers
Had hairy cars,
They did not stop at trifles-
So runs the ancient song, telling of the an,az-
ing hc-mannshness Of our two-fisted predeces-
sors in the American wilds.
We delight in reading and hearing Of the ex-
ploits of men harder than ourselves. In this
age, when the greatest peril the average man
faces is the danger of being sideswiped by q
rival motorist in heavy traffic, and when the
height Of discomfort is represented by an un-
expected failure Of the electric lights on fes-
tive evening. it is stimulating to consider the
prowcss Of the pioneers.
The pioneer arose at dawn. breakfasted on
fried pork and corn bread picked up his gun
and set out into the woods. After freezing his
feet, lodging the arrows of the noble red man
and tramping over uncounted miles of forest,
he returned dragging the carcass of bear. Half
of this he ate for supper; then he hiked 10 miles
to his neighbors, drank half a barrel of whisky
and spent the evening shooting tin cups off the
heads of his friends and wrestling with their pet
mountain lions.
That, or something like it, is the legend. any
way And often we lament the passing of this
hardwood We feel that our age is effeminate
and soft in comparison.
Maybe so. Yet, after all, we still breed men
whom the hardy pioneer would admit to the
circle of fellowship.
A German naval officer is about to cross the
Atlantic-or try ton 15-foot canvas boat,
alone. A Florida gentleman is preparing to
shoot himself to Venus in rocket. Two Cali
fornia flyers are planning parachute race, in
which they will leap into space 10000 feet up
and see who can wait the longest before OPEN
ing his parachute. It is even reported that
there are Chicagoans who, undeterred by
bombs, dare to criticize crime and the city's
political overlords.
The presence on the scene of such men is en-
couraging. Of course, they often die a few
years ahead of their time; yet they prove that
the blood of the hardy pioneers still flows in
twentieth century veins.
More power to them. They help to atone for
the softness of the rest of us.

When the monoplane Bremen came down on
Creenly Island, after crossing the Atlantic
ocean, the first words of the three aviators
were:
sThank God!"
The words were said reverently and devoutly.
In nearly every message the airmen sent out
after their landing, some such expression as
with Gods help followed the announcement
that they had completed their perilous trip. 1t
is quite evident that the daring airmen feel a
deep sense Of gratitude to divine power. That
is an aspect Of ocean flying you don't often
think of. When pilot makes ready for long
flight over water we ask him if his engine is
in good TRIM if the weather conditions are right.
IL his instruments are in good order, and so on
and then as he takes oft, we cry Good luck! =
Too often we do not think to pray for him.
For we are rather an irreverent people. We
make marvellous machines, and sometimes we
think that is all there is to it. We adopt
Napoleon's cynical maxim, that God fights on
the side Of the heaviest artillery. We look
down at our own handiwork, and not up to the
skies
AS a general thing, this seems to work we'll
enough. But time of extreme danger is diff
ferent. There can come a moment when we
have done all that we can, when our machines
have given their utmost, and the issue is still
ia doubt Then dawns the realization that we
are, after all, helpless; that our fate is not
in our own hands any longer; and then we
pray.
We who stay at home, safe and snug, may
not realize this. But the men who flew the

notice after eating, when digestion
begins to take place, l have a very
pronounced metallic taste in my
mouth. What would cause this, and
will it disappear"
Answer: You should lose still
more weight, and if you will keep
on dieting until your weight be-
comes normal, the metallic taste will
disappear. This is produced from
an improper balance Of your diges-
tive fluids, and continued dieting
will correct such trouble.
Question: Mrs. X. u. writes: Cali
Of my family are being benefited by
your diet and health articles in our

our appreciation. Also, just one
question: What foods are meant
when we use the term protein
Answer: Generally speaking, we
mean the animal and its products,
viz: meats, milk, cream, cheese, but
ter, fowl, eggs, rabbit, fish, etc.

Answer: 1t is unwise for me to

vice as l cannot tell what is causing
the pus in your urine. Go to a COM

My dear Marye:
Well, dear child, you were upset
about Alan's courtesy to his stenog-
rapher, weren't you? can't say
that l blame you for wanting him
to put the typewriter away when he
finishes with it. But you must re-
member that Alan probably has
many things on his mind that you
know nothing about.
The trouble with most wives il
that they expect q busy man to
show them the same attentions that
a courtier would show to . great
lady in . drawing room. Now,
Marye, that's nonsense. Good man
ners are another matter. And
think Alan can't be accused of lack
Of them. Wouldn't you have hated
to see him let that girl lift the type
writer without offering to do it him
self? I'm sure you would.
You'd have something to complain
Of if he had stood by and let you
put it away. As it was, imagine
he still had his business on his mind
when he was through using the ma
chine and forgot entirely that you
wanted it put away. You know you
can't expect a man to change his
habits back and forth twice q day
and never get them mixed What
he does at the office is sure to in
fluence his conduct at home and
whenever his mind is occupied with
business. No doubt Alan's habit of
leaving his typewriter where it is at
the office accounts for his doing
the same thing at home.
It does provoke me when I hear
a wife insisting that her husband
must be a paragon. Half the time
she hasn't the faintest idea what his
life is like, because usually he
spend very little of it with her.
And that Cherished" in the way
you interpret It, Marye, doesn't fit
in with your demand for equality
with the men. I'm surprised At you
for mentioning it. just az If all the
burden Of keeping your marriage
happy falls upon Alan. Can't you
see that every person is responsible
to all those with whom they have
any relationship? Do you suppo-.
that Alan's stenographer doesn't
