North Dakota Still Leads in Wheat

A statement has been recently prepared by the traffic
department Of the North Dakota Railroad Commission,
showing the amount of revenue freight originating within
the state during the calendar year 1929.
The statement is especially interesting because of its
analysis of the kinds of freight carried by the railroads,
thus showing at a glance the kind Of commodities pro-
duced and exported by this state in greatest volume.
On a basis of 100 per cent Of total shipment, farm crops
make the biggest showing with a little over IS per cent
of the total; products of the mines, principally Ignite,
come next with about PAN per cent; livestock and poultry
are next with slightly less than S per cent, and manufac-
tured products and products Of the forests are credited
with about 2 per cent.
Especially noteworthy is the fact that wheat monopol-
ICES the section relating" to crops, its share being over As
per cent. Rye and barley together are only about 9 per
cent of the whole, and potatoes, a very important crop
for this state, is credited with only 2 per cent.
These figures, encouraging on the whole, are in some
respects Disappointing. The showing made by mining and
manufacturing is good, but the export of cereal crops is
too large and the output of animal products is much
smaller than our present tremendous interest in that
branch of agriculture would seem to indicate.
Considering the above crop percentages in relation with
last years tragedy of price reductions, it may be said
that North Dakota is still "The Desert of Wheat"

A Big Risk

A vision of the risk Hettinger county taxpayers are
running in not providing a safe and adequate court
house with modern fireproof vaults to protect its land
titles and valuable documents can be cleaned from read
Ing the report in another column of the value of the
records destroyed in the burning of the state capitol at
Bismarck.
The survey for insurance settlement values the total
loss on state records destroyed at $619, 544.30. based on
replacement value. The ratio of insurance to new re-
placements is so per cent on the building and 48.1 per
cent on contents. The state was lucky in that the vaults
and safes which held land titles and mortgages and
bonds preserved the records. If these had been de-
stroyed in the fire, the litigation resulting might have
been endless.
In Hettinger county, one shudders to think of the end

in otherwise solid floors. Where vault Or safe doors even

China as a Customer

China has become a customer of North Dakota. The
pork raised in this state, and this business is rapidly
growing, along with the other export business from Pa
cific ports.
For some years there has been a quiet but growing
demand on the west coast for the best class of North
Dakota hogs, most OF which have gone into the Chinese
export trade. That this trade is already of some impor-
lance would appear from the fact that buyers are COM
peting for the business OF supplying the west coast de-
mand.
China today, like Japan 60 years ago, is undergoing a
social and economic revolution, and will emerge a more
progressive nation. It is friendly to the United States
and is certain to become one of this country,s best Gus
toners.
There are a billion people in those Asiatic regions
called the Orient. These people are near neighbors Of
ours. For instance. Yokohama. which is 10000 miles
from London is only $500 miles from Seattle. There is
keen rivalry for the Oriental export trade between that
city, San Francisco and Los Angeles, each Of which
aspires to become the New York Of the Pacific"
The west coast export trade has also a promising field
in Central and South America. That this whole business
has vast possibilities is indicated by the fact that English,
German, Norwegian and French shipbuilders are laying
bottoms with . view to getting their share.
The comma folks Of the Orient do not have much
money to spend. but there are many Of them and they
eagerly buy when the money comes into their hands. It

butter. timed milk and fruits in considerable volume.
What will happen when China settles down and begins
to buy in earnest, can only be guessed, but the picture is
aluring.
The producers of North Dakota have felt rather
gloomy over the fact that their marketing channels
seemed to be hedged in on all sides-but there is bound
to be an opening somewhere.
To the west the Pacific coast is reckoning; to the east
and close at hand is the almost realized promise of a
waterway to the sea.

Louis Wolheim

It is the queer fate of the actor to be remembered, no,
so much for himself as for certain characterizations thai
he has given which have found a warm place in the
heart of the public.
So it is that Louis wolheim will probably be remem-
bered by most Of us, not as Louis Wolheim but as
Katczinsky, the uncouth German infantryman of "All
Quiet on the Western Front" and as Captain Flagg, the
officer of marines in the stage production of What
Price Glory?"
Those two characterizations got from Wolheim what
might be called perfect performances; perfect, in that
it is hard to see how they could possibly have been i'm
proved on. AS long as there are living people who saw
one of those two fine shows, Louis Wolheim will
not be forgotten. But it will not be Wolheim himself
that we remember. It will be, rather, the Katczinsky
the Captain Flagg that he created for us.

On Ideal Husbands
clos Angeles Times)

N"So Div AA%0I
It has been quite popular in the past for young un-
married women to advance the characteristics of an
ideal husband. just as some young bachelors know all
about the qualifications of a perfect wife! But now
comes a college professor who forsakes his logartthms
and other things with which he Is familiar to tell the
women how to pick a husband.
The rare bird must be ambitious and industrious. He
must hitch up to a big job and not loaf.
Then he must have q good disposition. AS If any in
dividual with ambition and industry could have a sweet
disposition! Geniuses are noted for their rotten tempers.
Even movie stars without other assets than q pretty face
and figure are supposed to fly into fits Of temperament.
As for tact, the man of affairs usually leaves that to
his wife-or the buffer in the outer office.
The perfect husband must also be healthy. ambitious
and industrious enough to twist all day on his revolving
chair in the dim light and foul air Of his office. he must
be healthy enough to come home to roost with : glow
on his cheek and verve In his action. He must arise in
the morning after a night Of wrestling alone With his
business problems and be able to leap into the plunge
for twenty five yards in thirty seconds.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
BUENA VISTA BATTLE

On Feb. %, 1847, the Americans
defeated the Mexicans at Buena Wis.,
ia in n OF the most decisive battles
OF the Mexican war.
Congress had declared wal against
Mexico nine months previously over
a dispute arising from Texas boun-
daries. On Sept. "a, 1886, General
Taylor attacked the Mexicans at
Monterrey and took the town after
a desperate battle of four days.
Early the next year, Santa Anna,
the Mexican president and command
er-in-chief, led a force of 10000 men
against Taylor, who had only about a
fourth of that number. The battle
was fought in the mountains of
Buena Vista. After an all-day fight,
the Mexicans retreated. Among the
southern officers, Colonel jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, particularly dis
tinguished himself.
This victory gave the United States
possession of northeastern Mexico,
and won for General, Taylor, who
here fought his last battle, the presi-
dency of the United States two years
later.

TO'COOK OR NOT TO COOK
1t often happens that perfectl,

proper cooking. Good foods may b,
also made SC unpalatable that on,
does not cat a sufficient quantity o,

the health Of the household depends
because if the meals are properly bal.
anced and arranged In an attractive
manner, one will be encouraged to cal
the right foods and will find them sc
tasteful that there will not be the
craving for foods which are unwhole-
some. There is probably no othe,
factor which plays as important a
part in the health Of a family as its
food.
The preparation Of foods through
the use of fire has undoubtedly play
| ed an important part in the history OF
the human race by making 1t possible
to obain more nourishment out of
foods which could not otherwise be
we'll utilized. Some foods, such as the
grains and starchy tubers are un-
doubtedly benefited by cooking, which
breaks down the starch cells and en-
ables the digestive Juice to penetrate
into the center of the starch granules.
On the other hand, there are a num-
Der of foods which do not seem to be
benefited by cooking and in fact in
some cases the uncooked food digests
more quickly than when it is cooked.
This seems to be generally true with
the green vegetables and ripe fruits,
and especially noticeable with cab
hage.
It is necessary to eat some of the
raw green vegetables at least once or
twice a day in order to supply the
body with certain important vitamins
and mineral elements which are rem
dered less valuable by the use of
heat.
It is not necessary to use all Of the
food uncooked as claimed by some
raw fooders, for the body only e
quires a comparatively small amount
of the elements which are destroyed
by heat, and this need can be salts
fled by the use of from a half pound
to a pound of uncooked foods a day.
There is no evidence to show that
cooking in any way Injuries food pro-
vlded it is properly prepared. OF
course, saturating food with grease
and oils makes it very difficult and
slow to digest. Also, rich mixtures of
sugar, starch, protein and fat may in
time wreck the strongest digestion.
Over-seasoning is also a frequent
cause of digestive disorders.
It seems that the most healthful as
well as the most satisfying dinners
can be arranged by properly balancing
beth cooked and raw foods. Raw
salads should form IN important part

The Mind as a Mirror

The Tribune has received from Warden C. c. Turne
a brief but very sensible reflection on the actions of tn
human mind, written by one of the inmates of the stat
prison. McBrides essay is quite philosophical and ii
submitting it to The Tribune, the warden says that h,
vents the world to know that he has some bright ant
shining lights in his little penal colony. The shor
essay is printed in full:
Minds are like mirrors. rejecting the light of
truth incident to them, tho very seldom in its
original purity; for most are cheaply made and
carelessly employed. Being shallow and full Of
flaws they pervert, not only the light shining on
them, but also the light they reflect on others. To
them all is distorted. The sublime seems small and
the petty great; the divine seems vile and the vulgar
right. They see nothing and reflect nothing in its
true image.
"Yet there are some, tho rarely acknowledged,
which are we'll made, having depth, sohdity and
frmness; seeing the distant as we'll as the near,
and rejecting everything in its true light and form,
regardless whether it be good or bad.
But neither of these are responsible for their
condition; their fate lies mainly in two things: the
material they were made CT, and the way they were
made. Eugenics and euthenics should be used as
preventives where it is not too late. The warmth
correctives where there is yet hope of reforming.
Never use cold pressure, for where it does not crush
or break it usually cracks"
Doubtless there are many experiences behind this
OBSCURE but philosophic expression of q prisoner. 1t
Gems probable that the restrictions of prison life weigh
leavily upon the spirit which indicted the admonition,
Never use cold pressure, for where it does not crush
break it usually cracks"

A Hundred Years

The Country Gentleman, oldest agricultural pubhca.
ton in America, has been published a hundred years, and
the Bismarck Tribune, Oldest daily newspaper in the agri-
cultural state of North Dakota, extends its congratula-
tons. The anniversary number of the magazine which
appeared last week is a splendid mingling of the arts OF
literature and printing.
The century covered by the Country Gentleman has
been Americas own. 1t has seen the United States rise
to supreme power III politics and industry, and has wit
messed the emergence of the great Canadian Dominion.
In 1881, when the Country Gentleman was established,
the country had a population of only thirteen millions.
Forty-two years later, when American youth had set out
on the adventure of winning the west, the Bismarck
Tribune was established to supply the needs of what was
then an outpost OF civilization. The states and terri
tories at that time had a population Of fifty millions. The
1880 census places the figure at about 1872 millions.
A hundred years ago there we're only 30 miles of rail-
road IN the country. A half century later a great net
work of railways had covered the then western states
of the east, and rail lines were being pushed westward
across what at that time was known as the great Ameri-
can desert.
A hundred years ago the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Montana were still a part of the vast, unknown Northwest
Territories. About so years later General Grant came to
Bismarck to help dedicate the capitol of Dakota territory.
A hundred years ago Cyrus Mccormick was beginning
his experiments with the reaper, which was to supersede
the sickle and the scythe. Fifty years later his great in
vention was playing a major part in conquering the west
en plains.
A hundred years ago mems minds were being unfet-
tered from the old habits Of servtude. America was
then physically, if not intellectually, free, and Europe
was aflame with revolution. Fifty years later the Civil
war was a thing of the recent past and the agricultural
revolution, due to improved methods Of production, had
been practically accomplished.
A hundred years ago the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys were known only to the hardy explorers and
missionaries. Fifty years later these unknown regions
had become flourishing states and territories. The cata-
log Of the centurys events, even so far as our western
states are concerned, is bewildering.
The western star Of empire is still on its way, and
what the next so or 100 years will bring is something to
challenge the most fertile imagination.
