COOLIDGE WILL
BENEFIT STATE
Tourists Attracted to Summer
White House Will Ap.
preciate North Dakota

Fargo, N. D.. June 2.-More ef-
fective publicity and advertising
will come to the Northwest as q
result Of President Coolidge spend
ing the summer near Superior than
would result in spending a million
dollars on advertising this section,
the Greater North Dakota Associ-
alton declared in a statement is
sued today.
THE presence Of the President
party in northern Wisconsin will
send thousands Of tourists across
North Dakota highways to the yell
lowstone and Glacier National
Parks and the Canadian North
west,'' the association declares. "The
big endeavor of this association in
encouraging motorists to pass
through North Dakota has been to
popularize the northern route to the
west. With the President near Su-
perior, thousands of tourists from
the east and central states will
swing up into the Arrowhead coun-
try before going to the parks.
That means that they must cross
North Dakota. Fortunately, North
Dakota's principal highways east
and west are almost completed so
that from the standpoint Of good
roads this state will make the right
kind Of an impression on visitors.
The big value of having motor
tourists CROSSE North Dakota is not
in the cash they spend. The big re-
turns are from the favorable adj
vertsing. To see North Dakota
first hand is to appreciate our pro-
gress and development. These
tourists will have occasion to see
North Dakota and see for them
seves just what is being accom-
plished by way of development"
1T is a splendid thing for the en-
tire Northwest section to have
President Coolidge return. Scores
Of newspaper men will again spend
their summer in this section and
they will again tell the rest of the
world how this section is progress
ing. If fund of a million dollars
could be raised to be spent on adj
vertising the Northwest, the results
would not be as great as the adver-
Using and publicity we will receive
by having the summer White House
up here for three months"

IGNITE MINES
HAVE FINE YEAR
Long and Open Season Brings
Total Tonnage Much Larger
Than Average

When North Dakota Ignite mines
closed down about the first of April
they had experienced one of the
most successful seasons in the his
tory of the industry, according to
Albert Washington, state coal mine
inspector.
Washington recently returned
from an inspection trip to mines
at Burlington, Tioga, Ray and I'm
derwood. His trip was chiefly t.
check on the smaller mines, he said,
and make sure recommendations
made earlier in the year regarding
safety measures had been carried
out.
Both shippers and miners re-
ported a tonnage much larger than
the average year, due to a long
and open season." Washington said.
"At no time during the season we're
the smaller mines forced to close,
due to excessive snow, as is the
case in some years."
Although reports from mine OPP
arators will not be complete for
several months. indications are &C
cidents during the last season have
been cut down considerably. Wad-
dington credited the decrease chief
~ to educational campaigns which
have been carried out by the state
mine inspectors office and other
organizations.
The process Of making briquettes
from Ignite which is being tried at
the Lucky Strike mine in Mercer
county gives promise of saving
thousands OF dollars annually to the
coal consumers of the Northwest,
Washington said.
The briquetting process has been
carried out successfully in several
university experiments, he said, and
once 60 toms of Ignite coal was
shipped to Germany and briquettcd
there by their process.
"The process which will be tried
in this state is an exact duplicate
Of the one used in Germany" Wad-
dington said "The ligAite is first
ground to powder and run through
a machine to remove the moisture.
The next process removes all the
such as tar and oil, and
finally the Ignite is put through a
machine that congresses the fin
ished product into a uniform bril-
quet. The Ignite briquetted in this
fashion has proven absolutely elm
kerless and burns practically with
out ashes"

It would be rather easy to get quite pes
simistic about the condition of the United
States right now, if you tried to-.
Much of the daily news isn't at all comfort
ing. There is Chicago where crime seems to
be absolutely defiant to society. There are
daily murders elsewhere, ranging from holdup
shootings to frightfu tragedies like the Hck-
man affair. There are the Shiny details of the
Teapot Dome affair in Washington. There are
assorted rascalites and imbeciities of all
varieties.
The sum total is. at times, depressing 1t
would be quite easy to conclude that civilization
is going to the bowwows
But, after all, we do pretty well-considering
We mustn't be impatient; mustn't expect too
much of ourselves.
The ancestors of every one Of us thousand
years ago were plunged in barbarism. Europe,
in the dark ages, was not an admirable place.
It's most civilized centers were crude and un-
tanned. It's poorer classes were hardly step
above the level of the brutes. The vast hinter-
land regions housed myriads Of utter savages.
In all the western world, in the year 928 A. D.,
there was not one man we could call educated,
judged by anything like modern standards
there were not more than handful free from
the grip of monstrous superstitions There was
no rule but the rule of might.
That was a thousand years ago. An i'm
partial witness from more enlightened planet
might easily have concluded that all mankind
was fast on the road to beasthood.
The spirits of those ignorant, selfish an
cestors of ours still live in u.s. We haven't yet
had time to outgrow them. A thousand years
is not long time in the evolution of society.
The low peasant Of the dark ages is our grand
father, not too many times removed; he, or the
butchering, blood-thirsty war lord who ruled
him.
This is not said to excuse the defects of
present-day society. 1t does not make the mis-
deeds of our Hickmans, our Falls, our Sinclairs,
our Capones, any less heinous. But it does
help us to understand how such things can
happen It does help us to keep from giving
way to pessimism when we think of the future.
Shocking things can happen in Twentieth
Century America. To keep them from over
whelming you, read good, detailed history of
Europe covering the period beginning about 800
A. D. 1t will help you to keep hopeful.

he rights of children.

The rights of children.
How strangely those words would have
sounded a century ago. In that day parent,
under the law, had right to the child and to
the services and earnings Of the child. but
little was said about the rights of the child and
less still was said about the enforcing Of such
rights as might have existed in the written
code of the times.
One Of the most encouraging signs of the
present age is society's increasing interest in
the child, the projections thrown up about the
child and the definition of the rights Of chill
dren. The change in public attitude toward
the child followed the shift from hand manu-
facture to machine manufacture. The day is
past when children could be worked from IL to
IA hours day under deplorable conditions and
ct poor wages.
Certain rights of the child are today
recognized as inalienable.
The extra-legal rights are the right to be
well born, the right to good environment and
the right to parental comradeship.
Then there is the legal rights to an educa-
ton, to play and to be protected from ex-
ploitation.
Many children find the proper environment
In their own homes but others must look for
Il in the schools, the public Fairgrounds, the
Sunday schools and such organizations as the
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Society, through governmental and other
agencies, is more and more making up for the
benefit Of the child home deficiencies where
they exist
