thing. The British, in their red coats with white facings,
were on the summit Of the mountain; the colonials, In
buckskin shirts and coonskin caps, came up In a long
steady line. Everything was quite in the old, colored-
Autograph manner, with officers waving their swords
and platoons going into action in solid. shoulder-to-
shoulder ranks. Try comparing that with a modern bat
tie scene!
Yet the fighting that day was quite as bitter as any
thing in 1918. The man who got killed by q round bull
let from a revolutionary flintlock became quite a. dead
as the ~doughboy Of the World war who was blown to
bits by q high-explosive shell. That battle looks quaint.
at this distance, but it had no q~uaintness for the men
who took part in 1t.
Today, though, it is interesting to look back on. The
ceremonies at Kings Mountain attract us because they
re-create for us the image Of a vanquslaed day. And 1t
may be that 1t is good for US to realize that some Of the
foundation stones Of modern bigness were very tiny.

the twelfth meeting. Of the Board of Governors Of the
League Of Red Cross Societies. which is held the same
American Red Cross. Vice Chairman Ernest P. Bickneli,
Mrs. Henry P. Dawson, Mrs. August Belmont and
Gustavus D. Pope, members Of the Central Committee,
compose the American delegation.
The international Conference has on it's agenda 81
separate items, and Is questions are to come before the
Board OF Governors OF the League of Red Cross So
humanitarian movement throughout the world. It will
be q week Of great industry for the various commissions
which will consider and report on these problems.
An outstanding problem of the league is that of
obtaining financial support proportionate to its con-
stantly increasing responsibilities in service to the
national societies.

America Discovered
(Napoleon Homestead)

Napoleon HOmeStead) n.
The discovery Of what we now call America by Colum-
bus in 1892 was one Of the worlds great historical events
and started the western hemisphere on its progress. The
real America. however, has been under continual pro-
cesses of discovery since that time. We owe the discov-
cry Of America to those who followed Columbus as well
as to him.
Since 1902 Americas vast natural resources have been
discovered and put to the use Of an advancing civliza-
ton. We have discovered her great art, her music, her
drama and all Of her great possibilities in education.
The most outstanding discovery. perhaps, has been Amer
icas discovery that she can exist as a nation under q
constitution Of liberty. freedom and justice.
We cannot stop discovering America. We must go on
and on until the full possibilities Of a democracy are
realized. It may. indeed, take many more generations
before the United States Of America reaches its height
IN the development Of its resources and reaches the full
benefits Of Its democratic institutions, Every boy and girl
Will 60 out and discover q richer America than we have
Uncovered before. It Is and It should be the constant
aim and endeavor OF all Of our people to reach the goal
which Is undoubtedly destined for this country.

why WE CRAyE RICH FOOD

WHY WE CRAVE RICH FOOD
AS the human race evolves. we find
ourselves confronting new problems
with our old instincts. Our instincts
are based on the experiences Of hum
dreds Of generations Of those who
have preceded us. These instincts
were reliable guides for the conditions
at that time, but they are not always
the best for conditions today. We
know that at one time food was not
as plentiful as at present. It was
often obtained under great danger.
When it was obtained there was no
satisfactory method Of keeping the
surplus for future use. Under those
conditions it was essential to eat
enough food to last over until more
food could be obtained, and 1t was also
wise to eat the most concentrated
foods to stave off the hunger pangs
for as long as possible.
II you give q child or person who
has had no dietetic training q choice
Of food he will almost invariably x
hibit. this instinct by picking out
those foods which have q high caloric
value and avoiding foods which have
q low caloric value. He will choose
meat, NUTS bread, macaroni, beans,
peas, corn, eggs, potatoes, sugar, cake,
ice cream or any other food which Is
rich In starch, sugar Or protein, mixed
with some fat or oil. In doing this
he Is simply following the race-old
fear of starvation. He will avoid
spinach, ~watercress, carrots, aspara-
gus, lettuce and most other foods
which are low in calories. An excec-
ton to this are the sweet fruits and
berries which are usually enjoyed by
everyone. However, the reason for
the enjoyment Is probably because Of
the sugary taste which the body rec
ognizes as containing calories, and
also because the berries and fruits
were among the first foods used by
and often carried him over lean
periods until other foods, such as
meats and cereals, were abundant.
The vegetables r comparatively
recent additions to the racial u.et.
for they did not become tender ans
succulent until men ceased to be
nomads and became agriculturists
It Is no longer necessary for US to
eat enough at one meal to last for
several days. The average person
eats three or four meals every day,
but has a reasonable assurance that
he can continue to do 50 for q long
time in the future. II one were only
going to eat one meal every two days,
it would be necessary to eat five or
six thousand Galleries at q meal, but
when one eats three or four meals q
day, there is grave danger Of over
eating on the high-calory, concen-
trated, acid-forming foods. You may
only need about $500 calories q day
when actually you will be eating 1000

The Trail Grows Warmer

The current and latest oil scandal brings to the fore
again two North Dakotans in the persons Of the young
and vigorous Senator Nye and the almost as young II not
so ebuuient Attorney Seth Richardson.
A gentleman named Kelley, trusted employee Of the
interior department, charges that all is not as it should
be with regard to the disposition Of oil shale lands in
Colorado and then, later, gives it as his opinion that the
justice department, as represented by Richardson, doesn't
appear to him to be wholly unbiased in the affair.
Everyone is entitled to his opinion and doubtless suf-
ficient facts will come to the surface to give the public
something upon which to base a judgment In due time.
Kelley, having resigned from the interior department.
at least 50 far as he Is concerned-has started q series Of
articles for one Of the metropolitan newspapers telling
all about 1t. These will be watched with interest.
Conferring with Senator Nye, he convinces that
gentleman that his statements are at least worth inves-
tigating and at the same time says the Hoover admin
~istration, DESTROYS Of avoiding a scandal, is inclined,
through the justice department., to "pooh-poo," the
whole business.
Then Mr.. Nye, after his interview, says the oil shale
scandal may not be laid to Mr.: Wilbur, the present secre-
tary, and who, Kelley limited, was to blame.
It all makes a very fine hodge-podge, Qualification Of
which will probably take considerable time.
just why the Hoover administration should worry
about q possible scandal, however, is difficult to imagine
in view of the political record.
The scandal which sent Harry Sinclair to jail and
condemned Albert B. Fall to the penitentiary was a real
one. It was expected to shake the nation and 1t did. But
it did not prevent a fine harvest Of votes by the Republic
can party at the next succeeding election. The answer
was that the people Of the nation were not inclined to
express disbelief in a whole political party merely because
Of the actions Of some individuals belonging to it. There
is no reason to assume they would do so now.
Viewing it all in all. Keney's claim that the admins
tration is not interested in knowing the truth may merit
some challenge. II there is one thing with which the
Hoover administration may be credited, 1t is an inde-
fatigable thirst after knowledge. The facts probably will
come to light in any case and 1t would do the adminis-
tration more good to present them Of its own volition
than to let them come before the public from other
sources.
At any rate the trail grows warmer and the newest
political cat soon should emerge from the sack which
now shrouds it.

It Might Have Been Worse
Mot Pioneer press\

N1S ! ouO
When the writer was q boy he heard an Englishuan
recite . simple poem depicting all sorts Of dire things
which happened to . man, but at the end of each stanya
were the words. ut Might Have Been WORSE These
words seemed to picture the life philosophy Of this and
many other Englishmen the writer has met. They take
whatever experience life has in store for them as only
an incident which is all 2 part Of the game Of life:
Of mind the present financial depression will pas. into
good laughs in the future. It is no time to get excited
or panicky. Business as usual" should be the slogan Of
everyone. If the life incidents Of each day are met in
the best manner possible this depression will soon pass
and living in general will be easier again.
Farmers are generally in a depressed state Of mind
because wheat is worth only Coo at the local market,
but the writer sold wheat as low as 42c per bushel when
q young man after hauling it rs miles with oxen. and
the whole country survived. Oats sold at the threshing
machine at from Sc to l0c per bushel and barley at lSc
to 15c. Hogs sold as low as Sc per pound and beef
under &C.. but this is all Just an amusing life experience
to the older men who lived through it: No one starved
or had to 70 without the necessities of life. It was not
q pleasing experience but the people who were in the
right frame of mind got 4 lot of amusement Gut of the
makeshifts which were used to get by, always remen,-
bering that 1T Might Have Been Worse"
