Better Than Charity

Proposal by a committee of the
Bismarck Association of Commerce TO
survey the city in an effort to find
odd jobs for unemployed breadwin-
ners, deserves the support of every
citizen.
Every loyal Bismarck resident
should inspect his property or pro-
perties to see if he cannot give a job
now to one or more men who need
employment. In a great many cases
the alternative is to provide jobs or
to give aims, and, of the two choices,
the former is infinitely the better.
It obtains for the giver more for his
money and it assists In maintaining
the self-respect and confidence OF the
recipient.
Do not hesitate to show your CO.
operation because the job you have is
only = little one. for the little jobs,
taken together, are just rs Inn
portant as the big ones. That bit of
painting, that minor repair, can be
done now to as good advantage as
would be the case later. In nine
cases out of ten it can be done much
more cheaply.
The committee will provide expert
assistance for any householder or
businessman who wants advice about
the development of his property or
the making OF repairs and improve
mentS. Its members are willing to
serve In solving these material prob
lens in order that the fundamental
human problem, which lies in the
background, also may be solved. DO
not hesitate to call upon the COM
mittee for such assistance. It will be
given gladly.
And do not forget to make the sur
vey which the committee asks you to
make. See il you haven't got at least
one little job to give. It will be good
business for you and 1t may mean
happiness to others.

Publicity for Potatoes
minneapolis Tribune)

The value Of the potato industry to
Minnesota is to receive some needed
publicity during the week beginning
January "a through camp a g n
which will publicize the Minnesota
potato, not only to the state itself
but to the nation as well. The extent
of Minnesota's potato acreage and
the value of the crop are not real
lied even by the citizens Of the state
itself. With value that has rivaled
the total income from Minnesota'o
wheat crop for number Of years
and claiming a total acreage that Is
exceeded by no other state In the
Union, it is evident that potatoes
represent a productive asset to the
state that is of major significance.
The annual shipments OF Mime
sofa potatoes run to $4,000 carloads
and have long enjoyed a favorable
demand. In fact the quality OF Mir
nesota's potatoes seems almost better
recognized outside the state than
within it, and one purpose Of Min
nesotas potato week" will be to call
the states attention more emphati-
cally to the value of this industry
According to a survey conducted by
the University farm II per cent OF
the potatoes received on the Chicago
market are from Minnesota, e pei
cent of those received at Kansas City
81 per cent on the st. Louis market
a. per cent at Cincinnati and 80 PEI
cent at Omaha. Last years potato
crop was valued at $0664, 900.
Although Minnesota is one Of The
nations leading potato-produc II {
states, that industry has not made
the progress which the quality Of 1t!
product deserves. TO remedy thai
situation Minnesota has enacted 9
new potato grading law which ha:
yet to be taken advantage OF to AMI
great extent. This offers Minnesota
growers an opportunity to capitai!zt
on the quality Of their product ans
at the same time insures the con.
sumner q uniform quality. That some
V2VOuCCIS 4ldVC COIIlS w oCV VIC ktOo
sibilities under this new law is In
dtc4ted in the action taken by grow
ers in Itasca and st. Louis counties
who have formed an organization
and adopted q trademark to pusl
their product. Similar efforts shoul'
be made by other sections Of tn
state as well.
The first purpose Of Minnesota
potato week Is to strengthen the in
dustry In the state with resultan
benefit to the farmer and the stat
- . whole. Here Is an opportunit
for agriculture and business, citize
and farmer. to cooperate in develop
ing IN important Minnesota industr,
This week should give impetus to
cooperative move to raise the potat
industry in Minnesota to the ne
tional leadership which. with unite

individual or In his surroundings.
Thus. predisposing causes Of tubercu-
iosis include q constitution that gives
wnv readily. an environment that is
crowded and dark and . 1aiiure OF
proper nutrition.
The exciting cause Is the germ Of
tuberculosis, which is usually con-
viewed rom an infected person u Ia.
vicinity to one who is not injected.
The exciting causes Of mental diseases
ara usually the immediate circui1-
stances or conditions which preclpi-
tate the actual attack.
Doctor Levin compares the onset OF
mental disease, therefore, TO Q Suck
Of dynamite. The constitution Of the
etick of dynamite is q predisposing
cause. but it takes an electrical spark
to set it Oft and to bring about an ex-
plosiou.
The predisposing causes Of mental
disease include certain stages IN hu-
man existence which. are unbalanced
stages. These are the ages from II to
II, in which tho child passes from
adolescence to maturity. ana period
from As to IS, when the body has
reached the end Of maturity ana be-
gins to break down.
Another predisposing cause OF men
tai disturbance is the strain Of modern
civilization. The human body Is not
built to 20 on unfortunately at high
speed. Following crash in the mar
ket. many human beings suffer con-
tinuously with strain, and some Of
them succumb.
The exciting causes Of mental dis
ease also include physical factors such
as sudden infections, poisons, injuries
to the head that involve the brain
and complete exhaustion from pro-
longed physical strain, or from hem
orrhage. =.
In other instances mental derange-
ment follows a sudden emotional
shock such as the sudden death Of a
loved one, or financial or social re-
verse. j.
A consideration Of the causes OF
mental disease indicates at once that
many, if not most, Of them are con-
trollable.

An Expression of Confidence

All LApk SSSlOU VI OOUl luCNCC
Announcement by the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone company that It
has begun the construction of new
cable line between Bismarck and
Mandan at a cost of $4,000 to pro-
vide for the further growth of these
two cities should inspire new con-
fidence in the future of the twin
cities of the Missouri river.
Coming at this particular time, it is
especially noteworthy because it ex-
presses the certainty OF a great COM
mercial organization that the future
Of these cities Is assured and that
no major happening now is in sight
to deter their growth and develop
ment.
Local enthusiasm and pride some
times does not see quite as clearly as
do executives of large corporations
who are detached from their influ-
ences. On the other hand, local fears
and doubts may be overstressed in q
manner not understandable to out
siders. The fact that the major
executives of the Northwestern Bell
company regard Bismarck as a proper
field for expansion means great
deal more just now than appears on
the surface. They show a confidence
which the rest of us will do well to
emulate.
We are grateful to the Bell COM
pany for this particular action at
this particular time. The fact that
it will provide jobs for some of our
residents is important, but hardly as
far-reaching as the spirit which the
move engenders.

Getting the Limelight

The business which took Alfalfa
Bill Murray to Washington recently
need not interest US. but If the idea
was to push himself into the lime
light as a Democratic candidate for
the presidency it is proving a great
success.
The Oklahoma governor is a pic
turesque figure with a flair for the
dramatic which has stood him in
good stead in is own state. Every
successful politician has certain
amount of showmanship and the
abundance of this quality which Muir
ray possesses may aid him in his
quest for further political honors.
Except when they got into trouble
and we're impeached, we haven't heard
a great deal of Oklahoma's governors
recently, but everyone knows OF
alfalfa Bill" Murray. He not only
knows that it pays to advertise" but
he seems to know how.
His latest stunt is his speech be-
fore the Anti-Saloon League conven-
ton at Washington. 1t may get him
sin bad with the League but il
draws new headlines.
The fact that he failed to express
his thoughts in detail to the conyen-
ton, emitting a part Of his prepared
speech because he felt the audience
was not entirely friendly to his
ideas, does not dim the fact that he
announced himself willing to stand
behind the speech as written. This
shows courage, for too often men
have departed from set speeches with
less candor in explanation Of their
changed attitude.
The fact that Murray has been
listed as Z prohibition advocate and
was invited to speak On that basis
makes his procurement III the more
startling to the ardent drys and IL
the more noticeable to the nation
Doubtless Murray did not overloo
that fact Ia choosing the place an
