agreed.
Pretty? Say, Cherry's got every

They were half way up the stair
way. Suddenly an odor, strange and
unpleasant, reached their nostrils
1t was certainly penetrating odor
and it seemed to come from above
Dan shifted. Wonder If some
things burning?" he said uneasily
Smells like-like rubber or some
thing, doesn't it?"
Not rubber" Pearson said. "But
there does seem to be something
wrong" He coughed.
They had reached the second floor
landing. The fumes were heavier
and they certainly were coming
from the rear apartment.

Pearson closed the door and
crossed the room to raise the win

During these days of hunting great change
came over the Alalus youth quite suddenly.
His habit had been to sneak through the
forest. glancing often fearfully about. afraid
almost of his own shadow so great was his
dread of the ferocous females of his own kind.
All this changed as If by magic. Slowly he
was mastering the bow and spear. With deep
interest and a sense of awe and respect he
had watched Tarzan bring down many ami
mails great and small, for food.

A new expression came over the Alalus' face
He no longer wore that hunted look nor skunk

the returns Of his work.
How could they have sponsored such
law7
Simply by applying business prin-
ciple similar to that employed In farm
rental. When q farmer rents a farm
and he furnishes everything except
the land he gets three-fourths Of the
crop: the land owner gets only one
fourth. Therefore I believe that one
fourth Of the crop should be ample
security for the ammortization and
interest on loans or for security for
purchase of land.
Then taking into consideration
rentals where the land owner furn-
ishes the seed also. He gets -one- half
OF the crop or another fourth for the
seed. Therefore, I believe that one
fourth OF the crop should be ample
security for seed loans.
Therefore, believe that the spon-
sors of the present crop mortgage
proposal were either entirely ignorant
OF farming business or else they are
purposely trying to enslave the farm
ers.
Therefore, believe that their pro-
posar should be defeated.

that many farmers are mortgaged and

BENEVOLENT UNCLE SAM
Bismarck. N. D.
Oct. 81, 1882

Editor, Tribune:
Huge headlines In the press tell us
that the government has decided to
be lenient with the farmers who Dor
!. rowed funds from it last spring to
plant their crops. It will only ask
them to pay IS percent of the amount
due this fall and the rest later.
Now, no doubt lot of folks think
Uncle Sam has shown great generos-
ity to the farmers by this decision
and they should all rise up and call
him blessed. For, of course, one
fourth is not much to demand when
Uncle Sam has first claim on the
whole crop-and could take :. it all!
But how many of these same people
realize that to pay this IS percent at
this time and at prevailing market
prices will require the sale Of more
wheat and other farm products than
it would have required a few years
back to repay the entire amount bor-
rowed?
Farmers had to pay around ono dol
lar for seed wheat last spring, to say
nothing of their other expenses, and
to command them to sell any part of
,a1aeir crop at present ruinous prices Is
unjust and anything else but 1enient!
II Uncle Sam is really interested in
helping the needy farmers, II he Is
really honest in these intentions, he
should do one Of two things: either
allow one dollar per bushel for all
wheat delivered as payment on the
loan (and this includes that $500 or
else suspend all payments until such
time has arrived that farm products
are selling at profitable price. II he
did this the farmer would really be-
lieve Uncle Sam was really interested
in his welfare, but II they are COM
PEELED to sell their wheat for soc q
bushel, how can they believe Uncle
sam is the generouS-minded old fel-
low certain interested persons would
have us believe? To these farmers he
must appear much more like a Shy
lock exacting his full pound OF flesh!
: Farmers are well aware Of the fact
that much of their present troubles
can be traced directly to government
tai interference In their affairs. tell
ing them In one breath to make two
blades Of grass grow where one grew
before and In the next breath asking
them to pillow under every third row
of cotton, or cut one third Of their
crop for hay.
We wonder how many banks, in
surahce companies and other huge
corporations to whom the government
has lent staggering sums are being
asked to pay any part Of 1t at this
time. The government owes 1t to Its
people to see them through their
0ethsemane and not to add to their
misery.
Another thing. The government ap-
pears to be going on the assumption
that the farmers granaries are full
and they are waxing fat. The truth
is it required q good share Of their
crop to pay expenses incident to har-
vesting and threshing It, and II they
are compelled to pay this rs percent

WHERE LABOR STANDS

Wv. ~, 1SjZ.
Editor, Tribune:
Organized labor has always taken
an active part in looking toward the
attainment Of sound and construc-
tive legislation which will promote
the welfare of the working people of
North Dakota.
There are several initiated meas
, ures to be voted on at the general
election Nov. which, II passed, will
work hardship on the members of
Organized Labor and the people of
North Dakota generally.
The first one Is the measure de-
signed to eliminate publication Of the
delinquent real estate tax list, enact
ment Of which would make it pos
sible for more persons to avoid pay
ment Of real estate taxes, as is done
now on personal property taxes be-
cause the personal property delin-
quent tax list Is not published.
We also urge the defeat Of the
measure to reduce fees for publica-
ton Of legal notices. In seeking to
reduce public expense, this measure
would reduce fees on all legals pub
~Sished despite the fact that less than
one-fourth Of the legal notices pub
hshed in North Dakota are paid for
from the public treasury; and In
spite of the fact that such publica-
ton fees In North Dakota are lower
than the average for the entire Uni
ted States including population GEN.
tiers where there are large quantities
OF such publications, and much lower
than In any other northwestern state.
The passage Of this measure would
mean that hundreds of thousands of
dollars that are received annually
from insurance companies and pri-
vate corporations from without the
state would be reduced, thereby
<causing the loss to North Dakota
workers, farmers and business men
of at least 80 per cent Of what they
now receive from these sources.

ously injure the printing industry
and indirectly the craftsmen engaged
in that industry.

ers and the laboring people general
~ are working toward the defeat Of
these two measures and the three
initiated measures reducing the sal
aries Of district judges, reducing the
salaries Of judges of the supreme

salaries or compensation OF certain

and fixing the salaries or compen-
sation of all appointive state officials,

The law gives our state officers and
county commissioners the power to
bond, also the government and vii
lage boards, school boards, etc. They
have gone the limit. It has been laid
to Wilson that most of these bonds
are tax exempt. That helped their
sale, helped us to get farther in debt
and harder to get out. Now, the
sooner we put this state, county, etc.
in a position where they can't sell
bonds the sooner we regain our sanity
and can balance our budget, If ever.
Take the 20 odd billions this U. s. A.
is bonded for and don't allow the al
lied debt to offset them. Divide by
100. as we have one Of the poorer
states as per tax ratio, and add to
that our state debt. And don't take

counties have taken back don't pay
taxes and that extra burden comes
on the rest, but-they still are show
ing that land as an asset. This state
is In debt $50 million dollars at pres
ent valuations.
Our state debt and our phase Of
national debt, 500 millions, divide that
by 50-52 counties equals 10 million
for each county.
Then add the county debt (bonds
outstanding). Divide again by town.

Then deduct the farms that are over

cages that the farmers have put there

three months vacation, become aware
of the true conditions then we will
vote for this moratorium and wake
somebody up. You that read this

these are not facts.

will be a mild statement.

To the Voters of the First
Commissioners District:

At the time was elected to the board of County
Commissioners there was concerted movement
against the methods of the old board, the conditions
under which the business of the county had been
transacted, and the domination of the board by
man whose purposes most apparently entirely
selfish.
Since the election of Mr.. Fricke and myself we
feel that county affairs have been handled in bust
ness-like, economical and fair manner.
I am calling attention to these facts because I
feel that Mr.. Moynier has had an important part in
producing the conditions mentioned. I know him
loyal and true to the best interests Of the county, and
as the strongest force for economy and tax reduction
on the board. believe that his defeat would mean
return of the old control the board and therefore
strongly urge that Mr. Moynier be given the unquai-
fled approval of the voters of his district.
Sincerely,
GEORGE F. WILL.

Evening star., 1932-07-18

the day began to be divided into meals
which occurred at more or less regular
periods Now We find three meals the
custom in this country.
Experience has shown that babies and
little children thrive better on a regu-
lar diet Wise mothers are as careful
about this as they are about the con-
tent of the meals.
AS we grow older, however, we some
times get away from the regular habits
of childhood. Adolescent girls and boys
are so much interested in other things
that regularity is often irksome TO
them Boys are usually so hungry that
they can eat heartily between meals
and yet devour a full meal as we'll
Girls, on the other hand, are less likely
to have good appetites and will often
omit meals unless they are watched.
They rush of without breakfast. They
may or may not eat an adequate lunch
and are consequently so tired that they
have no appetite for dinner. They are,
of course. anxious to stay thin to con-
form with the standards of fashion,
and for this reason it is often the more
difficult to get them to eat enough
food This is the time when they are
particularly susceptible to anemia and
to tuberculosis, so that it requires con-
slant watchfulness upon the part of
the mother to guide them through this
period.
