LARGE CROWD ENJOYS PARTY

Friday evening group Of % friends
gathered at the Jim Byers home near
Rexford, to help Laird celebrate his
birthday. 1t was a new adventure Tor

served and twelve or thirteen cakes
were relished by hungry crowd
Laird received large number OF nice

pointed out. has nothing to do with style. Of which there
may be an infinite variety.
Before the manufacturers Of steel window sash were
induced to simplify their lines, they were producing
$4,000 different sizes. This bewildering number has,
in the short space Of 10 years, been reduced to 1900
sizes. Even the wholesale reduction seems to have left
an oversupply of sizes and further reductions may be
expected.
Ten years ago those who went shopping for woven wire
Fencing had 552 sizes and patterns to choose from: but
they can now make a more intelligent selection from the
present total of 81. Milk bottles have been reduced from
49 varieties to four standard sizes, and one size of cap Will
tit them all. School blackboards were once offered In
PSI sizes. and it will hardly be called a hardship on the
customers that they now have only So sizes to pick from.
The IS varieties of paving bricks have been cut down
to six sizes, which doubtless means a big saving to the
makers and contractors. as well as those who foot the
paving bills. One may run through a long list Of items
such as tin cans, paper bags, jack knives and shipping
tags and discover the economies effected by this new
phase of industrial betterment.
This silent revolution has been singularly free from
dlctation or government regulation. The manufacturers

action and have made use of the u. S. Department of

When 0. w. Roberts Saturday observed the twenty.
weather observer it was an event of some importan nee to
the people of this city and state.
A quarter century ago the young meteorologlst was
just a new man on the job about whom Bismarck resi-
dents OF that day had a natural If slight curiosity. The
position OF chief of the Bismarck weather bureau was
just as important then as now, but it remained for the
newcomer to prove his worth as a citizen, his friendlness
as a neighbor and his influence as a constructive force
in the community.
twenty-five years have told that story in a manner
OF which Roberts, both in retrospect and as All ACTIVE
citizen. need not be ashamed. AS an employe of the
federal government he could have done the work as
signed to him and let matters rest there. But Roberts
was not OF that temperament. Physically and mental
~ vigorous. he threw himself into the DEVELOPMENT of
a city which still was in its swaddling clothes. His
natural urge toward good citizenship found opportunity

Simplified Practice

One Of the notable epocls in the field Of industry had
its beginning in this country 10 years ago, when manu-
facturers were enlisted in a campaign to standardlze
their products in an effort to eliminate wasteful factory
and sales practices. Since that time the movement has
made such Roadway that 100 leading industries in this
country have adopted the practice with a resultant saw
ing Of $250,000O00 The reforms achieved are proving
a great benefit both to manufacturers and consumers.
S%implified practice has been described as that policy
by which manufacturers, distributors and users. through
voluntary agreement, limit the usually made and sold
varieties Of any given manufactured article to such con-
venient minimum as will satisfy all normal and reason
able demands"
A few items will suffice to illustrate the new economy
that has replaced the wasteful confusion existing before
s~implified practice got under way. Ten years ago there
were 16 different sizes Of inch recognized in the lumber
industry, varying from half an inch to an inch and q
quarter. Now the lumbermans inch IS the standard inch
stamped on every ruler and yardstick.

Editor. Tribune:
Dear Sir:
Much has been written in your edi-
torials and Peoples Forum in regard
to the future of agriculture. The
United States has undersold
(dumped) for 80 years and at the
London wheat congress insisted on
unlimited dumping thus forcing a
deadlock when other exporting ma
tons worked for a plan to allot each
a quota to sell in the European mar
ket.
Also Russia, the largest grower, can
sell cheaper because their rent and
interest systems have been abolished.
The American interest charge is
$1.40 IN acre, figuring wheat land at
$40. Taxes are 81 an acre making
a total Of $40 an RI While the
Soviet farmer, of whom there are

Of the grain, as both sets of farmers

Minnesota Township
Asks Financial Help

st. Paul, June 15.-(P)-An appeal
for help in a financial situation in Tay-
Tor township, Beltrami county, to
prevent it from going bankrupt and
the 1870 residents from losing their
homes, was received Saturday by At
torney General Henry N. Benson.
The appeal was In a letter written
by I. B.. Stuart, Hines, township
chairman, who said he did not have
enough money for postage. He had
borrowed a stamp from a fellow tax
payer.
The township is approximately
$4,000 in debt, Stuart said. This in
cludes $4,000 in bonds issued by the
township about 10 years ago to be
used by Beltrami county for road
building and improvement, $4,000 in
delinquent interest or the bonds, and
$4,000 in other Indebtedness.
If nothing IA be done by the state,
Stuart said the township citizens
shall become desperate" Men of SO
to 70 years Of age, will lose all they
own. and are too old to start ove-
again, he said.

agencies in the IL districts. Each
bank was allotted a quota of the loan.
Liberty Loan committees were formed
and the treasury made use of every
available NEAR of publicity.
The first loan was offered to the
public on May IA. How well the loan
went over is een in the fact that
subscriptions totaling 3,035, 226, $50
had been received by June IS.
Three other loans besides the final

United States during the World wal.
The American people subscribed

Stutsman Pioneer
Hangs Self in Barn

Buchanan, N. D., June 15.-(P)--
Peter Gaffney, II, Stutsman county
pioneer who was prominent in civic
and agricultural affairs for many
years, hanged himself Friday night
in the hayloft of a barn at his farm
home, four miles northwest Of here.
Dependency is thought to have
been the Cause. No inquest will be
held, it was announced Saturday by
the Stutsman county coroner.
Gaffney was born in Wisconsin in
1853 and came to Stutsman county as
a young man. He visited Jamestown
Friday, returning to his farm home

employed at the farm, went to the
hay NOW to obtain feed for the stock,
he found the body.
He leaves his widow, three daugh-
tiers and three sons.

The assurance that mo one will

When she came to America to find

had already determined not to use
the family name "in trade" so she
took the name Of Arden.
But before she established her own

been in Canada, but for the fact that
her family wanted her to marry a

her. She left without telling her

Everyone realizes the attractiveness
OF a human being who stands well,
sits we'll, and who has in general
good posture.
1t must be borne in mind that the
human being developed from some
species that walked on all tours and
that the attempt to walk and stand
on two feet puts strain and stress on
parts OF the body that formerly had
not had them. Hence, we see today
innumerable rOund-shouldered, stoop-
shouldered people with sunken chests,
twisted backs, prominent abdomens
and lame hips.
The position adopted when sleeping
is n of complete relaxation of
muscles and ligaments so that the
spine Is curved. "A certain amount of
relaxation is desirable, but when
walking enough stress must be placed
on the muscles and ligaments to in
sure proper support and physical de-
velopment. Hence, teachers now try
to get children to stand tall, to stretch
out, to hold the chest forward, and
the shoulder back.
AS emphasized by Thurman B Rice
in his recent consideration of this
subject in Hygeia, the upright man,
the straightforward person can u.s.
ually be trusted, while the Sinking,
the cringing, and slouching arouse
suspicion. The careless, Longing
man who shuffles his feet and sneaks
around in a hang-dog manner is a
whipped man. It must not be
thought, however, that the bad pos
