THE HERALD'S ANNIVERSARY

The Grand Forks Herald has attained its fftieth an
niversary. Celebrating this event. 1t issued q special
edition which. naturally. dealt with the historical char
acter Of the anniversary. 1t was . splendid edition. and
the retrospect which it spread before its readers was an
interesting bit Of time and progress.
The Herald has been one Of the leading major news
papers Of the state and it has Z record both In the chron-
telling Of the news and OF championins public movements
for the common good that constitute q fine heritage Tor
the new management which has taken over the paper.
Fifty years in North Dakota history Is a magnificent
span in civil progress. It stretches from the days Of the
Indians, the oxcarts, the stagecoach and the influx OF
homesteaders following In the wake OF the Civil war,
down through the period of settlement and agricultural
evolution that has brought the state to its present stage
OF commercial and industrial development. The Tribune
can appreciate the significance of all this, for 1t, too. Is a
pioneer in the journalism Of the state and 1t. too, has
lived through the making Of important history for the
Northwest.
The Tribune extends the hand OF professional con-
graduation to the Herald. It welcomes the new man.
agement to Its opportunities for good. II the past OF the
Herald is used for guidance, the paper will continue to
fill an important role in the shaping OF the destinies OF
the commonwealth and the empire of agriculture which
constitute North Dakota.
The past success OF the Herald has been due to the able
staff which has guided and administered it. The fact
that it has been taken over by q trained and experienced
ownership should be . guarantee Of future usefulness and
achievement.

THE DAYS OF OUR A

1t would be interesting to know the authority for the
statement made at q meeting Of insurance men in Chi
cago that the average length Of life In Europe when
Columbus discovered America was 20 years. The speaker
mentioned 1t to show how the span Of our days has been
increased and as the basis for . prediction that they
will be still further increased. At the time of the Civil
war the average length of life had been extended to 40
years, he said: today 1t Is So years and by 1850 1t prob
ably will be 70 years.
If the average expectation Of life In 1892 was 20 years
It hardly would have been greater 1000 years before. Yet
the Psalmist said: 1.-THE days Of our years are threescore
years and ten; and If by reason Of strength they be four
score years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it
is soon cut off, and we fly away" This has usually been
construed to mean that 20 years is the normal span Of
mans life. The general impression has been that in
Biblical times people lived to . greater age than now.
Methuselah, son Of Enoch, is credited with having been
900 years old when he died. and there were other patri-
archs whose years were far more than have been attained
in modern times. Even though there are some who con-
tend that what were called years in those days were only
lunar months, it Is difficult to believe that the average
span Of life was 50 short as the statement concerning
conditions In Columbus time would lead one to believe.
Yet q writer In the New York Times has asserted that
the average length Of human life in Rome under the
Caesars was Is years It is suspected that this is guess
work. No vital statistics Of that period are available.
There is no doubt, however. that . few hundred years
ago people were regarded as old at q stage Of life when
they would not now be 50 considered. We get some ideas
on the subject from the literature OF the period. In the
Middle Ages grave and reverend signors' were men Of
IS. A man Of 20 Is called by Moliere AN aged gray
beard"
Coming down to more recent times. We can easily per-
ceive how the average length Of life has increased by
visiting old s~raveyards and examining the epitaphs Of
people who died . hundred or more years ago. While q
few may have reached great age, the average was low.
In 1900 it was placed 1t % years.
As we pity our ancestors whose lives were 50 hard and
SO short. 50 perhaps our descendants Of . few generations
hence, among whom vigorous centeuartans will be
numerous. may pity US.

e. Parents
'(By Alice Juds0n Peale)

Wy IA1bNV OUaNsOVAS = V0aCI
The naughty three-year-old cried
all the way down town in the street
car. Beginning with business and
anger because his mother would not
let him lean out Of the car window, he
ended with q tantrum from which he
was called only by the promise of ice
cream If he would stop crying and be
q good little boy.
The moral is so obvious that it
needs no pointing out. Yet in in
stances less pointed the best of us
frequently resort to bribery. It is q
temptation for which the convenience
of the amount makes it all too easy
to fall.
When you are tired you do not, per-
haps, examine the means you employ
to make Junior stop his racket. Just
to silence sisters walls you give her
the very thing you denied her q few
moments before. Never is peace
bought at q heavier price.
When you reward your child for
misbehavior you are teaching him to
set what he wants by crying for it.
The immediate occasion from which
you got such swift relief by bribing
him to be good. will be repeated 10
times for every time that you e
warded him for being naughty. For
children are learning all the time.
Every act of yours teaches its lesson,
and whether that lesson is good r
bad depends on you.
Don't permit yourself to brihe your
child into good behavior. Rather en-
dure his or her naughtiness II you
have no other way OF stopping it. En-
dure even q public scene and the acid
looks Of strangers rather than fix
in your child's mind the indelible i'm
preston that he need only cry hard
and loud to get what he wants.

CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS

Interesting figures on Americas foreign trade are con-
tanned in . compilation just issued BY the Central Ma
t:onal Bank Of Cleveland.
This compilation shows that Europe is still our best
customer. During the first quarter of 1929, Europe
bought $647,4eo.O0o worth Of Americana products, selling
US in return only $32l.3l5y0oo England regained its old
place Is our biggest single customer. buying $23s $4,000
worth Of goods. and Canada, buying $232, 3o4yoo0, was .
close second.
In the realm Of imports. Asia proved our best market.
The United States bought ss24,357p 200 worth Of Asia's
goods. and took s254.427ooo from Canada. Mexico and
Central America.
These figures. remember, are only for three months.
Their stupendous size helps one to realize the vast extent
Of our commercial operations.

We will not 60 into the guess that
the "stowaway" was installed within
THE Yellow Bird" for publicity pur-
poses. and that q real sure-enough
stowaway had about as much chance
to hide in the trans Atlantic airplane
as a rhinoceros on a banana seed.
We will assume that Arthur
Schneider of Portland, Me. did hide
himself in the yellow Bird till 1t
was we'll out over the ocean.
Then, story has it, he manifested
his c~ountenance, was not too sternly
rebuked by the real commanders Of

share the plaudits of the multitude
who called him brave and gallant.
If the "stowaway" received these
plaudits, and he probably did, 1t Is q

have it.

HE THOUGHT OF IT TOO LATE

ened to do"
That all sounds quite noble, until you give it a second
thought. Then, no doubt, 1t will occur to you that if the
gentleman had really loved his wife and child as de-
votedly as he says he did. he wouldn't have got involved
in an affair with a pretty medical student in the first
place.
The time for him to think of the love he had for his
family was . couple of years ago, when the relationship
with Miss Xix first ~began-not after it had progressed to
a point where murder was the only way out.

ing the head still means. with
many of you, holding it still dur
ing the back swing. The instant
your club starts forward you are
thinking so much about hitting the
ball that YOU give no further at
tentiou TO your head. Instead, think
of holding your head until your
club has swung clear through the
ball-and and you will not be so
much concerned about hitting.
This in itself will be vast inn
provement because, with your
head still at this point. your club
will swing, more pendulum-l1ke

Cultivate that method.
Center your attention on the ball.
This is commonly called looking

YOU look at the BALI is one Of
the worst bits of golfing advice

center your attention at point
either on the hack OF the ball or
at the line where the ball meets
the ground-and design to make
your clubhead go in at that point.
Have it in mind to take all of the
ball. This means centering your
attention on the hall. and when
your attention is there the club
head will go there. regardless %
how you swing. One reason you
often see player with most I'M
