A Needless Tragedy

It is impossible to take the news Of that Ohio motor
bus tragedy calmly. Nine school children were killed
because a bus driver piloted his car out on the main line
of the New York Central railroad, right in the path OF
a speeding mail train.
There can be no real excuse for an accident of this
kind. II the windows of a bus are frosted, as seems ia
have been the case in this instance, SO that the driver
view Of the crossing Is obscured. there Is nothing on earth
to keep him from stopping his bus. getting out and walk
ing to the tracks to see for himself whether the way i
clear.
No motorist should ever take a chance at a railroad
crossing: and this rule applies with tenfold effect to TIL
man who Is driving q bus-full of school. children. LIE
every bus driver in the country pay attention to 1t.
How could the medics ever expect a parrot to say
"Psittacosis."

The 1880 Census

Lie 1SCU OcUSuS
Commercial clubs, the various luncheon groups and the
organizations of women can serve the state excellently
in assisting the census director In getting the data sought.
It is easier to get correct data and an honest count OF
population now than try to force corrections later on.
All civic bodies should be alert to the responsibilities
imposed every ten years in the taking of a federal census.
Every one should be alert to the advantage of accuracy.
Complete cooperation should be accorded the enumera-
tors.
Then years ago in North Dakota and especially in Bis
marck, the census was indifferently handled. In some
locations weather conditions were not favorable.
Those who plan to be away should leave the informa-
ton in proper hands so that they will be included in the
count. The local Association OF Commerce can do much
in securing an accurate count and getting the real pic
turc of Bismarck and Burleigh county resources into the
official record which must stand for the next ten years.
Some persons will consider the questions propounded
as silly or as governmental mcddling in something that
is none Of It's business. But the enumerator is entitled to
the fullest cooperation. He only will be doing his duty
under the law and the citizen his in answering truthful
ly all legitimate questions.
Many things depend upon a federal census. It is more
than a simple counting Of noses and classification Of
creed, race, color and age. Among the more important
phases of the census are:
Determination Of representation in congress, in legis-
latures, application Of some laws, limitations of debt and
issuance Of bonds for public works. Even the issue of
taxation enters into the census.
Some valuable data will be compiled. Light will be
shed upon infant mortality. how much longer LIES span
has been in the decade that has just closed. the general
drift Of population, unemployment and many other IN
teresting and profitable facts will be uncovered, so that
the federal government can cope more intellgently with
the great social and economic problems.
Greet the enumerator with a smile. What you tell
him must be held in confidence. Data given him will be
held as strictly in confidence as are the income tax re-
ports. That is the law. Only generalizations and con-
illusions will be published in the government reports to
follow.

TRAGEDIES Of Unemployment

II is announced at Washington that the unemployment
crisis has passed. The country is "out OF the woooS'

Just the same, there are occasional bad spots tnat nave

about them. They are worth thinking about.
The other morning there were two such hints IN the
daily news report.
In Chicago, at the peak of a sharp cold wave. q woman
was found sitting by an empty stove in the barren kitcnen
Of the house she called home. There was no fuel III the

In cleveland a man was released from Jail after being
acquitted Of a charge OF embezzllng money from ls
former employers. He returned home to find his family
destitute. Gas had been shut off because the gas bill was
unpaid. The youngest child had %pneumonia and was
being cared for by a neighbor. There was nothing 10Y

welfare organization refused to extend any help because
the breadwinner was out Of jail now and could do his
part: but the breadwinner could not get a job.
Now those two little items. quite unrelated, are not
of course, enough in themselves to refute the govern
ments optimistic reports about the unemployment situa-
ton. Such things will happen even when times arc
booming. But they are rather terrible. even so.
It is terrible that a woman can freeze to death, IN
her own house, in the middle Of the second city OF the

That day is a long way off. We are still fairly selfish

SOME QUOTATIONS ON HEALTH
AND HAPPINESS

SOME QUOTATIONS ON HEALTH
AND HAPPINESS
Health and happiness are two prob
lens which confront everyone, and 1t
Is always refreshing to read the opin-
ions of thinkers on these subjects.
Here are q few quotations which I
have found interesting and am giving
them to you. Many OF them are worth
memorizing:
THE happy man must be whole and
| wholesome. To be that, one must re-
press anger and worry as he would
| repress the impulse to lie and steal
! David Starr Jordan.
"A garlic sandwich Is two pieces OF
bread travelling in bad company
| Denison Framingo.
THE man who realizes that he has
! become, or is becoming, a victim Of
| worry must be advised consciously and
| resolutely to direct himself to the
question Of his sleep. It Is safe to
| say that the worrying man cannot
! sleep too much, and as q rule he sleeps
| too little."-Saleeby.
I'VE often hear Of people breaking
| down from overw0rk, but In nine cases
out Of ten they are really suffering
from worry and anxiety."-St John
Lubbock.
'The surest road to health, say
what they will,
is never to Suppore we snail pc Ill.
Most Of those evils we poor NOR
tails know
From doctors and Imagination

"That anger and worry are two pro-
lific sources of disease and evil cannot
be denied. Anger Is q species Of insan-
ity, and worry kills more people than
! work."-W. w. Case, DID.

wealth, and then lose their wealth re-

Health is, indeed, so necessary to

life that the crime Of squandertng 1t
is equal to the folly; and he that for

Let's Keep the County Agent

Hettinger County Herald)
During the past nine months the people of Hettinger
county have enjoyed the privilege of having a county
agent.
The people have found much use for him. Farmers
of the county have kept Walter Sales jumping ever
since last fall when he started work in this county,
financed by interested friends, progressive farmers and
farseeing businessmen, together with the regular aid
offered by the state and federal governments to all coun-
ties who ask for such aid.
Hettinger county people have always paid their share
for state and federal taxes, but it is only when they have
q county agent working for them that they get any of
this money back.
When Hettinger county has q county agent our peo-
pie here not only get their money back" when the state
and federal departments pay half the salary of the
county agent. but, in addition they get the services of
all the farm experts the sNorth Dakota Agricultural
Icollege has to offer. They get special service from fed
eral agents who visit North Dakota.
When Hettinger county Is without q county agent we
just do not get any of the service from the extension
department Of the state agricultural college, and the fed
eral government does not send men to aid with agricul-
tural projects where by their votes the people say they
do not want them.
Without a county agent we pay taxes while getting no
services. With a county agent we get the benefit Of
his service and the full cooperation Of the state and
federal governments. We. pay half the salary of one
man and get the services of a dozen or two.
We have to pay for county work whether or not we
get 1t. Let's be smart this year and vote yes" for county
agent work and keep Walter Sales right hereNon the job.
Walter Sales is doing his job wel-and he Is a darned
nice fellow besides.

Ducal DELAYS
washington Starr

OSW4I
The registry of the recently arrived princess, daughter
of the Duke and Duchess of York, would seem to con-
travene two fairly prevalent Impressions. One is that
nobility and royalty should be the leaders of and exam
Piles to their people in so far as it lies within their
province and ability. The other is that superstitious
people are, in general, pretty narrow between the ears.
All who have perused the public prints lately have
been informed Of the fact that the birth of little Princess
Margaret Rose Of York was not registered at CLAIMS un-
til some time after the happy event. and that this was
done in order that the young lady might escape the fate
Of being number thirteen on the village registration list.
The royal couple waited patiently until another baby
was born and registered and by this means the newest
scion Of the house of Windsor became number fourteen.
TO see members Of a ruling house Of a great empire
not only apparently entertaining a superstition as sense
less as "unlucky thirteen" but advertising to the king
dom and to the world at large that they do believe in it,
Is. in these times, highly surprising to thoughtful people.
It Is true that many persons not so well educated or in
tellectually equipped as the duke still do believe in such
balderdash, and doubtless some of the residents of CLAIMS
and tn peasantry round about cherish the belief. And
this brings forth the query Of whether or not it was a
rather unfair trick on the dukes part to make the daugh-
ter of one of his rural interiors assume the hated and
feared number. .tt

A Seagoing Race

The fishermens schooner races off Gloucester. Mass.
are not drawing the nationwide publicity that at
tended the recent America cup races off Newport: but
from almost any angle you would care to take, they
are better races and better sport.
The America cup was sought by two extremely costly
yachts, built and owned by multi millioaaires, and fit for
nothing on earth but racing. The fishermenis races, on
the other hand, brought together two commercial fish
ing'schooners, owned and manned by men who get their
living from the sea, capable of combating anything in the
way Of bad weather that the Atlantic can offer. The
race was a s:de-issue, a form of recreation INDUCED in
by two groups of artists in a very old and honorable
profession.
The y%achtsmen got the long stories and the photographs
in the newspapers but the fishermen, to our notion,
make a more appealing contest.

Three Cheers
Bowman County Pioneer)

IB0Wman County P1Oneer)
Three cheers for the Bowman county fair and three
more for County Agent Olson! These are the senti-
ments of all who attended the fair last week. The
number and high standard of the exhibits in all de-
partments was an agreeable surprise. Each department
was filled to capacity, and the judges must have had
some difficulty in awarding prizes, for all were good.
weather.
The sale of the All club stock must have been very
encouraging to the young folks who raised it. Needless
to say it topped the market by a large margin to spare.
County Agent Olson and the fair committee have
been tireless in their endeavors to make this years fair
a success and 1t must have been gratifying to them to
see the result of their labors. If the Bowman county
fair continues to expand each year, it will soon outgrow
its present quarters, and provisions should be made soon
to house the exhibits of future exhibitions. The fair
IS one of Bowman county's most valuable assets and one
that should be given every encouragement by our citizens.
