A Worthy Goal
minneapolis Tribune)

To its many other excellent objec.
tives, the American Legion has added
another-rigid economy in govern
ment. Its national commander, Louis
A. johnson. has made q resounding
appeal to all posts to join in the fight
against waste and extravaganza. The
message rings with sincerity and con-
viction, and there Is little doubt that
the legion will reply to it in kind, and
give him the constructive support
which such campaign as he outlines
deserves. Thus Commander johnson
pleads: Every legion post, yes, every
legionnaire, has q continuing duty to
perform In this regard. Here it Is:
Every time you see dollar wasted in
government, whether municipal, coun-
ty, state or federal, for the love Of our
disabled comrades, do something
about it. Let us be effective citizens
IN this regard. Let us bring forth
into the light Of day any example of
waste or graft or miscarriage of JUS
tice that we may personally come to
know. Let's see that every dollar
spent In any government activity-a
dollar maybe. that was saved at the
cost Of suffering-goes further and
does more than any dollar ever did
before IN government. Let's get rid
Of the gold bricker' in government.

MAKERS OF ANHEDONIA HAVE
TOO MUCH ROPE

As previously explained. anhedonia
is the name given by a French psy-
chologist to incapacity to enjoy life
or to be happy. In this country a
special form of the malady merits the
name of anhedonia Americana.
There is no better way to illustrate
than by mentioning that in the past
few years have received an aston
ishing number Of letters from young
persons who are evidently quite in
telligent in the ordinary sense yet
who ask if think they could possibly
have (here they use an imposing
word and then kindly translate it in
parentheses for my benefit) foul
breath.
Now I contend, and in this as In
many other things I may be all wrong.
but I contend that the charlatan who
goes out into the highways and by
ways to harangue the passers-by and
try to convince them they are Ill and
need his treatment or cure-all. is just
as decent and respectable citizen rs
is the high hat racketeer vino has
himself constituted corporation and
expends a large share of profits to
keep constantly in the mind Of pros
pective or potential suckers the NOR
hid idea that neglect to regulate"
ones bowels Is likely to bring on
nameless diseases and disasters. Both
are makers Of anhedonia Americana.
The only difference is that the corp
grafton crook does business on q
broader scale, mass production. In
this country II man steals a small
sum from an individual he is mis-
erable thief and If he gets caught he
gets punished in due proportion with
tho enormity Of his crime. But II he
steals thousands or millions from q
great many persons he becomes q
rather enviable, heroic parsonage and
things will be made as easy as pos
sible for him In the unlikely event
that he should ever be tried or con-
victed.
We are the same in our attitude
toward the great nostrum and quack-
cry racket.
We need a stiffening Of public
opinion in respect to the shameful
practices of this enormous Yankee
racket. which Is by no means con-
fined to the treatment Of diseases but
touches and takes toll from the mar
keting of all sorts Of services and
commodities.
It is hopeless to look to our ma
tional government for relief. We can
expect no more from the federal gov
crnment than . few fake passes at
this evil, such as the trick legislation
perpetrated in 1906 under the name
of the pure Food and Drug Act. y
Later the legislators themselves re.
moved the adjective Pure" from the
title.

ton Of the public against this shame.

Just a Gesture

Every North Dakota citizen, II he
has an ounce Of brains or possesses
the instinct of self-preservation, is in
favor of giving agriculture the cos,
Of production plus a profit as asked
by western senator's at Washington
No one who depends on agriculture
for living, directly or indirectly
could feel differently without being
a candidate for examination by a
sanity board.
And yet the congressional discus
sion and argument on this point
seems just little futile, even Silly
At best the incorporation Of this
clause in the agricultural bill is q
gesture which means nothing.
The reason lies In the simple fact
that cost Of production" is too vari-
able term to mean much when
placed upon the law books. It means
different things for different farm
ers.
The man who farms rich, we'll
located soil in an area where rainfall
and other factors OF climate are ia
vorable, may regard 10-bushel crop
Of grain as relative failure. The
man who is less fortunate in his To-
cation may regard 1t as q good pro-
duction. Their costs OF production
are liable to show a wide variation.
Whose cost Of production. then. is
to be taken as the standard? What
will give one farmer q slight profit
might give another bonanza.
There are other differences just as
important as those of location. Give
two men identical pieces of land and
identical equipment. One may pros
per and the other may fail. In such
case production costs would show q
wide variation between the two. One
may work harder or be better man.
ager than the other.
When the late G. r. Green was
manager of the Bank of North Da-
kota he was said to have defined a
poor farmer as one who "sows all
summer and harvests all winter"
What would such mans cost OF
production be as compared with that
OF nan who did his work we'll and
OH time?
There are ways OF finding the an
swer. of course. but it is a long and
intricate one. The cost Of obtaining
data and making the calculations
would be considerable. And when
the answer was reached it probably
would be wrong because conditions
would have changed in the mean
time.
AS declaration Of policy cost of
production" is splendid. The goal
which 1t sets up is one Of unques-
toned benefit to agriculture. The
real question before the congress Is
how to reach 1t.
What the sponsors of the clause
think Of the feasibility of the clause
in the bill is demonstrated by the
fact that they made 1t optional with
the secretary Of agriculture. who will
be charged with administering farm
relief. 1t looks very much as though
the boys were kidding the folks back
home. It was their way OF telling
the farmers that they, as individuals,
still have their welfare very much in
mind.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Sleeping Posture

Is sleeping with arms over the head
harmful? Is it bad to let wind or .
draft blow over the head when q per.
son Is sleeping? (P. r. T)
Answer-Assume whatever position
you find most restful or comfortable
for sleeping. All right to have arms
over head II you feel no discomfort
from that position. A cool breeze
from . fan. or wind, or q good draft,
favors sleep and Is always nealthful
provided you are not made uncom-
fortably cold. II the draft Is too cold,
turn it off or arrange some way to
shield yourself from the cold. No one
can sleep cold.

THE CINDERELLA MET AL

To people which has always re-
garded money as being synono-
nous with gold" it may come as
something of a surprise to know
that silver comes closer to being an
international medium of exchange
than does the rarer metal.
All the oriental nations are silver
standard nations-and they repre-
sent half the worlds population. So
are number of South American and
European countries. France alone,
of the great powers, holds to the
gold standard at the moment.
That is why world economists.
public and private, are talking so
much about silver. And that is why
a mounting number of authorities
believe its sterilization to be an es-
sential of recovery.
