On Ideal Husbands
clos Angeles Tines

NAOS Angeles l1mcS)
1t has been quite popular in the past for young I'M
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 logarithms
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 q 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
dispositon! 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 q night 81 wrestling alone with his
business problems and Be able to leap into the plunge
for twenty five yards in thirty seconds.
Finally he must allow his wife to audit his accounts
tell him when to invest and choose his secretary.
Professor. you may understand relatively. but you don't
know husbands. AS q husband picker, you are 1 fine
fumigator Of curricula.

Louis Wolheim

It is the queer fate of the actor to be remembered, not
so much for himself as for certain Characterization tina,
he has given which have found a warm place in the
heart Of the public.
So it is that Louis Wolheim will probably be reniem-
bered by most Of us, not as Louis Wolheim but as
Katczinsky, the uncouth German infantryman of "Al
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
either 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
and the Captain Flagg that he created for us.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
BUENA VISTA BATTLE

BUENA VISTA BATTLE
On Feb. %, 1847, the Americans
defeated the MexicanS at Buena Wis
ia in one OF the most decisive battles
OF the Mexican war.
Congress had declared war against
Mexico nine months previously over
a dispute arising from Texas boun-
daries. On Sept. "a, 1916, 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.

The Mind as a Mirror

The Tribune has received from Warden G. G. Turner
a brief but very sensible reflection on the actions of the
human mind, written by one of the inmates of the state
prison. McBride's essay is quite philosophical and In
submitting it to The Tribune, the warden says that he
vents the world to know that he has some bright and
shining lights in his little penal colony. The short
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
careessly 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, solidity and
firnness; 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 we're
preventives where it is not too late. The warmth
OF love and the matrix OF respect should be used as
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 a prisoner. 1t.
seems probable that the restrictions of prison life weigh
heavily upon the spirit which indicted the admonition,
Never use cold pressure, for where it does not crush
n break it usually cracks"

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. e
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 PAY 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 1.-THE Desert of Wheat"

TO.COOK or nor no COOK

TO'COOk Or NOT TO COOK
1t often happens that perfectly
good foods are made indigestible and
dangerous to the. health through i'm
proper cooking. Good foods may be
also made so unpalatable that one
does not cat a sufficient quantity OF
them. It Is really on the cook that
the health Of the household depends,
because If the meals are properly bal
anced and arranged In an attractive
manner, n will be encouraged to eat
the right foods and will find them so
tasteful that there will not be the
craving for foods which are unwhole-
some. There is probably no other
factor which plays as important q
part in the health of a family as its
food.
The preparation of foods through
the S Of fire has undoubtedly play
ed an important part in the history of
the human q c by making 1t possible
to obain more nourishment out of
foods which could not otherwise be
well utilized. Some foods, such as the
grains and starchy tubers are un-
d~oubtedly 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.
1t 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 re-
quires q 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 an important part
of every meal. I do not, however,
think that it is necessary to 60 to the
extreme TO say that all Of the meal

China as a Customer


China has become a customer of North Dakota. The
fact is that the wel-to-do class of Chinese are buying
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
aspdres 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
new bottoms with : view to getting their share.
The common 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

A Hundred Years

The Country Gentleman, oldest agricultural publica-
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. It has seen the United States rise
to supreme power in 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 were 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
ern 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 century's 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.
