cutting was 40c and shaves zoe.
Later we raised to SOC and Csc. Prices
in Montana and other states were
that high 80 years ago. -Four or five
years ago prices west and east of us
raised from SOC to Csc for haircuts
and 35c for shave. Minot and a
few other North Dakota cities
charged those prices. Bismarck did
not go in on this raise. In fact most
OF North Dakota kept to the old
price. also Minnesota, Wisconsin,
South Dakota and other middlewest
states. Our overhead expenses have
doubled in comparison to the small
raise City of Bismarck BARRIERS have
made in the last 20 years, to say
nothing of the extra work done on
customer at the present time. This
class OF work is professional work.
You work on a human being with a
sharp tool, it is nerve-Wrecking
work with very little exercise. We
must comply with state law. We
must handle good sanitary lotions.
We are required to know all skin
diseases.
The shop owner, when he pays his
man his commission on a Csc shave,
when he takes out his other expenses,
is supposed to have about &c profit.
A lot of extra free work is also done
on a man when he gets a haircut.
Hair in his ears cut, eyebrows trim

trimmed, and the barber is also sup

and to listen to everybodys hard
luck stories. We tell the stranger
where the postoffice is, the vehicle
dept, the penitentiary, where the
best place is to buy. In fact the
barber. particularly the owner of the
shop, is glad to be able to give all the
information he can and tell strangers
what a wonderful city we have.
Taking all things into consideration
If prices were any cheaper we could
not give the service we do. Close up
the barber shops for a week and you
would soon find out that your best
girl wouldn't know you.
Another thing the barber is sup
posed to know and that is who is 60
ing to be our next governor. I, for
one, have been asked that question
many times and I think I named the
right man. In conclusion I will re-
peat what man told me once and
he was Scotchman. He said that
no kind of professional worker to-
day was as underpaid as the barber.
The small towns have lower prices,
but their expenses are nothing and
some of them should not be paid at
all, as no sanitary conditions what
ever exist in their shops. The people
who are kicking on our prices are
not the common working people but
people who are we'll able to pay our
reasonable prices.

CITY DUDE SPEAKS
Dickinson, N. D.,

July Is, 1882.
Considering the fact that only now
and then do the farmers get bounti-
full crops and that during the last
two years our North Dakota farmers,
as well as those OF Montana and
South Dakota, suffered from drouth
and grasshoppers, now that fair
crop is in process of harvesting every
town, hamlet and village and big city
Of the northwest should be sympa-
thetic to the movement started to
insure the farmers fair price for
this grain.
I have watched keenly the farmers
situation for long time past, and it
has always seemed to me that our
cities and towns are not at all wide
awake to the farmers welfare. They
will Splurge around and talk calf
clubs and pig clubs, and corn con-
tests, and how to make two blades of
grass grow where one grew before, but
farmers have been hearing so much
about surplus that this aid to help
them grow better and more stuff is
getting distasteful; they want mar
ketS and fair prices to insure them
some compensation for their toll, for
some margin of profit must result or
they will lose their farms.
Just go to the stores-grocery stores
or any kind of mercantile establish
ments-and if you find any reflec-
ton in prices to correspond to- soc to
4Oc wheat, I have missed the bargains.
A bushel of rye would not pay for a
package of tobacco. One cantaloupe
costs more than bushel of barley.
Fruits are supposed to be unstable
in many western orchards. yet it
takes two bushels of barley on the
initial marketing of one box of cher
ries, at SOC. Our distribution system
is either loaded with overhead that
should not be tolerated or different
hands handling foods and fruits ex-
act too big margins. Even flour is
excessively high and on retail price
today it would call for an excess of
10 bushels, while everyone knows five
bushels of wheat make a barrel of
flour, with 102 pounds of bran or by
products left over.
Anyway, the salvation of the north
west is to secure for the farmers a
fair price, and here's one family that
would take a big holiday off and cele-
brate to the queens taste If that idea
of starting farmers vow to hold
wheat for price that it agrees on,
with orderly market, ETC., and if they
can at least arouse the whole coun-
try to the Importance of it, they will
make at least some Roadway. $1O0
wheat. Go to it. If you get the
country aroused you will at least have
a chance of getting a better price.
Bankers should be the leaders In help
ing, for some of these bankers may
get In the bread lines if this ruinous
price of soc to 40c for wheat pre-
walls.
Let's all go for 81 90 wheat, and at
that we are trying to get on a par
with what we are and have been
buying these last six months. Go
to it.

and sophistication are its keynote, a
keynote which demonstrates anew
the daring shown1anship of Samuel
Goldwyn. For months New York
laughed at the wise-cracking adven-
lures of these three dizzy blondes,
this triumvirate which might easily
have been sisters of THE Three
Musketeers." And now these same
adventures have been pictured for
the edification of the country at
large.
Never before has the screen the
counter part of these merry maids of
Broadway, whose squabbles an d
Royalties provide the hilarity of the
story. Jean, Polaire and Schatze-

man in the offing, and then all bets
are Oft.
Sharing the spotlight with them is
Gabrille Chanel, the world-famed
style authority of Paris, who design
ed thirty outfits in which the three
blondes disport in the picture-gowns
and coats and other apparel which
cost in the neighborhood Of 100000.
Ina Claire, star of this comedy Of
millionaire hunters, wears Is of the
Chanel creations. Madge Evans and
Joan Blondell combined with her to
provide the most dazzling fashion
parade the screen has seen. One of
the two fur wraps worn by Miss
Claire is valued at $4,000. These
clothes are entirely in keeping with
the play, for it deals with New York
society and night life among the ritzy
Park Avenue denizens.

role, is former "Follies" girl, and

A COMMUNITY AID IDEA


Bismarck, N. D.,
July 20, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
I should like to see more deter
mined effort made to attract tourist
traffic to Bismarck by emphasizing
some of our numerous historic points
of interest. Our family takes long
motor camping trip every summer
and we never come home without
realizing how little we make OF the
advantages we have in comparison
with other places; we know also how
much tourists spend and how much
money in the aggregate they may
leave in a town during a season.
Our highways are so filled with ad-
vertising signs that the scenery is fast
passing from view, but it seems to me
that large sign at the entrance to
Bismarck on either end of the high
way setting forth what is to be seen
here and in the immediate vicinity
would be of value. Many tourists
would 60 miles out of their way to
see the Roosevelt cabin if they knew
it was here; our state museum is bet
ter than most that have seen and
the recently furnished earth lodge on
the capitol grounds is as unique as
it is interesting. Then there are the
old fort sites near Mandan, the In
dian mounds, the Sibley camp
grounds, the Lewis and Clark trail
and many other places that should be
suitably marked, not only at the spot
but where the roads turn off to reach
them.
The traveller through the Black
Hills, for instance, is constantly i'm
pressed by the historic richness of
the vicinity and the chief reason for
it is that he Is told regularly by
signs what he is seeing and what it
means. Signs cost comparatively lit
tie and would be paid for with just
few tourist stop-overs in town. When
one sees how small towns in the west
have been practically made by tour
lists, it makes him realize more clearly
the possibilities at home. There is a
certain psychology in making the
traveller who tips through North Da-
kota and finds it all of level same
ness, stop, look and realize that there
are things to see, whether he takes
the time to see them or not.

LABOR FOR WHEAT
Wilton, N. Oak.

July %, 1892.
Editor. Tribune:
We have come to the time of har-
vesting the crop and there will be
extra work to do which is needed by
the people of the state who have been
out of work. but farm proucts are so
cheap that farmers will hate to hire,
for, though they will have grain and
stock to sell, money will be scarce.
So, unless some satisfactory way can
be found to work together, the farm
ers will work overtime and grain will
be wasted because of not being taken
care Of in time. And only a part of
those who would work will get a Job.
II we farmers could hire for grain or
other products it would be safer for
us. Have talked with other farmers
about hiring for wheat and they seem
to think it good plan.
Suppose the farmers were willing to
pay three bushels of wheat a day for
harvest hands and some more for
threshing. Then the man who work.
ed could sell his wheat any time after
1t was threshed, the farmer to haul it
q reasonable distance, or he could
hold it, hoping for a higher price, or
he could use part of it to use as
whole wheat flour in other ways.

Ex-President Coolidge likes whole
wheat scaled and cooked for break
fast food and should think a good
cook could make soup out of 1t. Some
places 1t can be sold or traded for
flour.
Perhaps he could make arrange
ments to get part of his pay in meat
or vegetables. Corn meal, too, would
help through the winter.
Some one in each town could act as
employment agent and he could take
small fee for this, also in wheat.
Should think those in towns who will
be expected to look after those in
need this winter would be interested
in this, also the Red Cross.
It would work for good in another
way for the more people who become
interested and intimate with farm
products, finding it takes work and
expense to produce them. the more
sentiment will there be for their
sterilization.
I don't believe this would hurt the
grocer's business any more than it
is at present, for so many are going
without.
Three bushels of wheat day would
have been over $500 in years before
the depression. If this were tried
wheat of a certain grade should be
specified. Lower grade wheat could
be used if the difference in price was
made up.
What do you think city fathers
And your version, great Red Cross,
Mr.. Farmer on the hillside,
Workman who has lost his boss?
Don't you think it would be better !
When there's plenty here to eat,
