what this town needs" we frequently hear. lis more
young blood in its various community activities. The
OLD StagerS who have made their way are not SO inter-
ested III seeing the town bloom as the younger folks"
There Is much truth in this, but of course we must
recognize the need and value of older heads in all effort
TO promote the towns business and industrial interests.
For real progress in Wilton we need the cooperation of
both old and young.
For a community is not essentially different, from a
business. and how successfully a combination of youth
full enthusiasm and mature judgment carry the affairs
of an organization forward to success.
Youth is the time of ideas, enterprise and enthusiasm.
1t Is impatient of delay and ever ready to plunge ahead
in search of new activity.
Age is the time of judgment, caution and analysis. It
Is hesitant about rushing into error. It wishes to take
time to consider.
Logically the best course is somewhere midway between
these two points of view. A community or business made
up entirely Of young men would be eternally plunging
into costly errors, making a considerable Juror but accom-
phshing little. A community or business handled entirely
by old men would be continuously planning and consider
ing but getting little started.
Hence 1t becomes evident that a community prosperS
most when we have both old and young cooperating for
the best interests of the town.

A Trifle Too Enduring

Possibly it's just the summer heat, which always makes
things seem hard to bear; but it does seem to grow in
creasingly certain, every day, that life would flow along
a little more smoothly and happily if all of these endur-
ance-contest gentlemen would quietly and speedily re-
move themselves from circulation.
1t wasn't so bad, at first. There was, originally, quite
a thrill in seeing just how much punishment human
bodies would stand. When two men can sit in an air.
plane continuously for three weeks or more the feat is
bound to have a certain amount of interest; and for a
while, at least, there was a weird sort of fascination in
watching people stay out of contact with the earth for
a longer period of time than anybody had done since
the world began.
But we're getting case hardened now. Some one really
should take all of these ambitious young people aside
and explain to them that it isn't funny any more.
After all, it isn't the length of time you can do a thing
without stopping that counts so much as it Is the way
you do it. The latest endurance flyers set a record of
upwards Of 600 hours in the air; yet on the whole, their
flight was not quite as significant as the 4O-second affair
%contrived by Orville Wright over the sands of Kitty Hawk
a quarter of a century ago. Quantity is still a trifle less
important than quality.
Probably there is something to be said for the logged
quality of determination that stirs in the breasts of these
endurance-record seekers. Yet determination, after all,
isn't the highest virtue attainable. The beaten path that
the world is supposed to tread through the wilderness
to the door of the manufacturer of superior mousetraps
is never made because of the mousetrap makers long
windedness.
The editor of the New Mexico State Tribune, of Al
buquerque. recently hit upon an idea that seems to have
possibilities in this connection. The boys of his city
were INDUCING in an orgy of tree-sitting-surely one of
the most harmless but, at the same time, one of the
dizziest, Of all competitions possible-and this editor de-
cided it had gone far enough. So, through his paper,
he offered prizes consisting of movie tickets-nct to the
successful %sitters. but to such lads as would recover their
senses. come down out of their trees and return to a
normal life ON the ground. 1t worked, and Albuquerque
has not been bothered with tree-sitters since.
In considering a means of ending this tree-sittine
craze, 1t would seem best first to get at the root of the
matter.

soME CUCUMBER RECIPEs

SOX1R wv . =
Many people only think Of cucum-
bers either raw or picked but they
are equally delicious cooked. Here
are a few ways of preparing both
cooked and raw cucumbers. It is q
good plan to serve them often dur
ing the time they are abundant and
inexpensive.
Salad of Tomato with Cucumber
Jelly
Soak a tablespoonful Of gelatin in
a half cup of celery water drained
from cooked celery) and dissolve
over the teakettle. Have ready .
cupful of finely minced cucumbers
to which add a few celery seed and
a little salt. Mix with the dissolved
gelatin. Dip a half dozen tomatoes
into boiling water, slip OF the peel
and hollow out slightly at stem end.
Fill with the cucumber and gelatin
mixture and place on ice to become
firm. Serve the tomatoes On let
tuce, with a cream cheese dressing
which is made by thinning the
cheese with cream to the desired
consistency and adding a little
chopped parsley or cress. Garnish
with bits of pimento.
Chopped Cucumber in Beef Jelly
Prepare a broth from lean beef,
skimming off all fat, and to each
cupful Of the hot liquid add q we'll
rounded teaspoonful of gelatin
which has been softened in a little
cold water. Stir until thoroughly
dissolved and set aside to cool.
When it begins to thicken add the
desired amount Of chopped cucumber
and placed on ice. Serve in slices
on crisp lettuce leaves, garnished
with parsley and ripe olives.
Sliced Cucumbers with Grated
Raw Carrots
Arrange cucumbers either sliced
or quartered on a bed of lettuce over
which CRATE the desired amount Of
raw carrot A little olive oil or pea
nut butter dressing may be added
if desired
For Picnics
If the cucumbers are wrapped in
a wet cloth they may be taken along
as a good picnic salad vegetable and
then can be peeled and cut to pieces

Lon CLANCY
minneapolis Tribune)

tN1lnueapOlS ITlOunc)
It was always one of Hollywoods little ironies that a
~hobgoblin like Lon CLANCY should have crashed the
kingdom of the perfect profile. Back I'M 1919, when he
scored his first big motion picture success, Mr.. CLANCY
was not only committing the objectionable Hollywood
sin of being unbeautiful. which was bad enough, but he
was brazen to the point of being positively ugly. The
notion that he could actually capitalize on that ugliness
and would ultimately emerge as a star of the first mag
nttude must have seemed as preposterous at the time as
the notion that all ~anatomically correct young men who
passed a profile test were not actors.
Whether or not CLANCY sensed a glut condition in the
Adonis market at the outset of his spectacular career
may never be known. But forehandedly or not, he did
develop the art Of being brilliantly grotesque and gorge
ously hideous to a very fine point. No gentleman of the
silver screen ever lost a leg, an arm or an eye in the
dressing room and proceeded to the set with greater
poiSe and sang -froid. No one ever tied himself into
tighter knots. or twisted himself into weirder shapes. or
exhibited greater facility for impersonating a first rate
accident going somewhere to happen. 1t was not with
out cause that CLANCY became, almost over night. the
modern fe-fi-fo-fum equivalent of all of fiction's ogres.
In a sense CLANCY was simply a freak of the films. yet
he was more than that. There, seems to be more than
press agent substance for the story that he was a pains
taking craftsman, that he devoted three hours or more

visit in Caucasia, Tolstoy became so
fascinated with the life there that
he, too, joined the army. It was at
this time he wrote of his experiences
In Sebastopol. Because his sketches
painted the horrors Of war with its
false and real heroes with such real
ism, he soon rose to fame = a writer.
Leaving the army after the Cri-
mean war, TolstoN decided to devote
himself to literature. He first went
to Germany to add to his learning
and culture but his experience there

Future Assured

Statisticians may figure that casualties of the air are
greater than on land or sea, still aviation will continue to
forge ahead. The sturdy pioneers of air transportation
but out of the experience will come greater safety.
Probably no mode of transportation has made such
rapid strides as aviation. It is hot such a far call from
Uriah Green and his flying machine. The Wright broth
ers gave one of the first most convincing tests of what
could be accomplished by aircraft and the value of the
aeroplane in cur national defense has been demonstrated
beyond a doubt for more than ten years.
When Ignatius Donnelly, the Minnesota sage, wrote
his Cesar's Column, several decades ago, he featured the
possibility Of aircraft. Many of his predictions have
come true and his widest dreams have been exceeded by
the science Of aeronautics.
Danger never the steam engine or the steam
boat promoters to hesitate. The same was true OF the
automobile and those who are advancing each year the
use of aircraft will not be deferred from their great
task, by casualties, however great.
Neither does this or that accident curtail travel. Peo-
pie more and. more are accepting the facilities of the
great airways as a matter of course.
Hawks, the man who broke the record for cross country
flight, speaks now of "loafing in the air" at 100 miles
an hour. He declares that a speed Of 200 or 300 is just
as safe and a possibility for general transportation. His
chief interest is to spur the engineers to build even a
speedler engine for air travel.
Even the cost of the plane is coming within the purse
of the average man. It won't be long before types 81
planes can be had at a price somewhere within the reach
of the business or professional man who prefers such
type Of transportation, especially in such lines 81 en-
deavor where every minute counts.

No Reason for Pessimism

ANO NNOoOAA "
There is no valid reason for pessinlsm IN the sea'es
of the Northwest. Drouth has taken but slight toll mere
as compared to the southeast and southwest.
In fact North Dakota's crop while not a bumper one
is in some sections an average yield and In many IN
stances more than an average return.
The slowing-u up process has come through a sluggish
and glutted market. This state is going through the
winter with plenty of feed for stock. Where there was
a crop, it has been harvested at a very low cost COM
pared to former years. There are many new ana e1cc-
tive marketing agencies at work to help the farmers
which have not been present in past years.
On the whole, the situation in North Dakota is better
than in most states. Every farmer suffers from 10"
prices-an economic condition which is most distressing
and slow in adjustment. Legislation has for the most
mart proved ineffective. Every move made here to stimu-
late prices is ~negatived at Liverpool or some world
market to the dictates of which the farmer must submit.
Wheat pools, cooperatives and even the speculative
markets at Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago are all play
ing a legitimate part in affording an outlet for farm
products.
The farmers are beginning to learn that their most
effective weapon is organization. No great results can
be obtained at once. 1t is a long hard process to revert
from haphazard marketing to an orderly scheme just
az il is hard for a farmer to regulate his crops so as
to reduce the menacing surplus.
But the outstanding feature of 1t all is the lack OF any
excuse for undue pessimism. North DakotaS uneniploy-
ment is practically nil. Here in Bismarck with great
public undertakings under way, the local pay roll is
greater than in the past.
Citizens of the Northwest have just to look elsewhere to
realize how fortunate they are. Business as usual should
be the slogan and the sooner the awakening the better
for everyone.
North Dakota faces in any event an average year ii
not a little better than average. The purchasing power
is here in greater proportion than in mapy states. Prob
ably many are suffering from a lack of confidence. That
inertia once overcome and the wheels will turn merrily
again. There are many evidences that such inertia is
disappearing locally.

QUESTIONS AND w
Migraine

Question: Mrs. H. D. asks: what
Is the cause OF migraine and what can
one do to prevent IT."
Answer: Migraine is the name given
to periodic headaches which occur
only on one side Of the head at q
time. It is due to various disturb
ances OF the nervous system and from
the common cause of toxemia which
is usually present with all headaches
except those resulting from an acct
dent. Colitis, constipation, and ex-
treme prolapsus of the abdominal or.
gaIs are also contributing causes.
Bad Habits
Question: Mrs. E. H. writes: II
am very nervous, have indigestion,
low vitality, and I'm extremely under
weight for my height and age. What
can I do to overcome this unhappy
condition? I do office work.
Answer: Your condition is caused
mainly by your habits of life, such as
q Sedentary occupation and insuffi-
cient physical culture exercises. Try
a fruit fast for from IL to IA days, fol-
lowed by a starchless diet, including
