"There is a constant and increasing demand for sales man agers," says the report. "Recently we ihave been supplying men for (these positions at salaries averaging $231 a week.. And we have trouble finding enough men to meet the de mand." Young men, "undecided what to do" give a thought to salesmanship as a career. And, by the way, the young bookkeeper who is struggling along and sees no future in his line should be iheartened.by the news that plenty of jobs paying $15,000 to $50,000 a year await the superbookkeepers knowfi as auditors. The business of our country went through an era in which tlfe big fortunes went to men Who were geniuses at produc tion. The corporations known as trusts were built up as pro ducing organizations. High efficiency in production, however, means nothing if there is no market for what is produced. This is where the salesmen steps in: The sales engineer now ranks in importance with the pro duction engineer. Salesmanship is the coming field. For competition is bound to be slharp and keen in the post-war years that lie ahead. And it is salesmanship that "cops the business" in high competition. Traveling on trains you meet many crackerjack salesmen, veterans, grown old and white-haired in the service. Eut salesmanship is primarily a young man's game. The vigor, determination, never-lagging energy and enthusiasm of 'the genuine "go-getter" are qualities of youth. Youth will go after the orders, sell the goods. Middle age and old age, with the wisdom and judgment and foresight of maturity, will stay at home and produce the things to fill the orders. It is generally realized that the problems of production have been nearly solved, and that the real problem of busi ness is distribution. Making distribution more scientific and less wasteful, by finding economical shortcuts from producer to consumer, is a job that is up to the sales engineers and their armies of salesmen. Majority of our economic problems are sales problems problems of marketing. DISPUTE French statistics, recently circulated, show that Germany since the end of the war has paid only $40,000,000 cash in demnity, or $1.61 a year for each German. Lang, German counsel in New York City, disputes. He claims that the figure should be $522,000,000 instead of $400,000,000. That would make the cash indemnity $2.10 a year, instead of $1.61, for each German. We stand cor rected. Incidentally, Lang claims that Germany has paid about $9,823,000,000 total indemnity, to date, including value of lost territory and other property surrendered. LEVITY .4 The next thing on the program apparently will be th£ decline of the American mercantile marine in its passenger ship end. Thirsty traffic, will be willing to go to Canadian ports to sail on liquor-serving foreign ships. Or the foreign liners Avill enter our ports and take on their saloon supplies after they pass the three-mile limit, transferred from other ships. However, this may be in keeping with our modern mer cantile marine policy, as it might enable Washington to sell our passenger liners at 50 cents a piece. IMPORTANT What is important, worth noticing, of the many agencies of.the European situation? Well, here's one that stands out pretty strongly—in fact, indelibly: The French government has not yet ratified the program of the Washington naval disarmament conference. This is the "key" to the European situation, if there is any key. An American can understand the, French claim that they need a big army to protect them against Germany. But, for that purpose, she doesn't need a supernavy, especially sub marines. 5 Is Napoleon's ghost rising? ENDURANCE Big Jim Hanbery, formerly a Kansas school teacher, was wounded 44 times during the war, left on the field for dead, aiid honored by funeral and meitiorial services in many towns. However, 'he showed up living, is a reporter in Omaha, and recently was decorated with the distinguished service cross. Forty-four wounds! And he's still alive. Hypochondri morbidly terrified at the slightest ache and pain, Should paste this in their hats. FEATHERS Bird-of-paradise plumes and wings, $15,000 wortih off them, are seized in raids on nine millinery shops in New York City. To get their property back, the owners must prove that the plumage was legally in their possession be fore the passage of the wild bird feather exclusion law in October, 1913. Gents with red noses might view this as "infringement on personal liberty." What is the difference between pro hibiting booze and prohibiting feathers? Now the ex-kaiser says he will marry in November. That's the way with young authors. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced tn this column may or may not express tho opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here Ir order that our readers may have both sides of important Issues which are being' discussed in the press of the day. HAltl) TIMES FOR LOJIDS Dukes, barons and other landed proprietors in Britain 'are having more trouble than usual with their real estate, it appears from a page of lillustraited advertisements in the London Times. A recent issue contains' the announcement of a series of auction sates of estates ranging from 14 to 117,000 acres There are pictures of properties like Kingsgate Oastle, with. battle mented towers, for sale by Baron Avebury. It has eight reception rooms, 28 bed and dressing rooms and five bathrooms. Any American with a little money and' tired of paying rent should look into this opportunity. The Duke of Argyll, one of whose ancestors earned the undyign gratitude of his neighbors by erect ing all around his estates a series of fences and posts, on which they could.scratch their backs, is offer ing two islands and a forest and other land, 51,700 acres in all. Shooting and fishing are said to be fine and the owner makes his own game laws. Any one desiring an early six teenth century residonce, with towers, draw-bridge,, portculis, moat, etc., but brought up- to (late with electric lights and a central heating plant, should consider the manor or lordship of Sedbergh. It V'as thirteen bedrooms, but ,only three bathrooms. Earl Howe would ffljjp.to sell his freehold of Woodlands, 221 acres, including a nine-hole golf course. The estate of Dochiel In the lord ship ofLochabor, 117,000 acres, is for sale. It is just the place to stags and grous'e and fish for sal mon and trout. It belongs to Col onel D. W. Cameron of Lochiel, C. M. G., A. D, C., Who apparently has nrnre honors than ready money. If one wishes something retally antique, be should investigate Ote hall in Wivels, Jield. It dates back to 1600 and has four reception rooms, fourteen bed anl dressing rooms, but only one bathroom. Hinton House, in Byfield, is still older. It belongs to the Tudor per iod and has fiflteen bedrooms and one,bathroom. If more than one person desires a bath at the same time in either of those mansions, most of them can jump into the lake. Before buying any of those pro perties, it i-j well to remember that war taxes are pretty high in Bri tain.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. ANTI-BONUS LEAGUE Whether or not the Ex-Service Men's Anti-Bonus league, which was organized here this week, is bo acquire a membership large enough to justify it in claiming to speak with some authority for the veterans of the World war—that is an important question, and one the answer to whichk will 'be await ed with general interest. The new league will have to con tend, of course, with the officially expressed sentiment of the Amer ican Legion—though by no means with all the members of that body —and it will have to meet and re verse the rather natural tendency of not particularly thoughtful young men, of whom there are a good many in veteran- circles as well as out of them, to respond with an enthusiastic "yes!" when asked if they wouldn't like to get a hun dred or several hundred dollars of government money. The task will not be easy, as the organizers of the league admit in the published announcement of their purpose, and they realize that only by energetic action on their part, and on that of soldiers who agree with them, will it be possible to prevent the passage wd-signing, s/Ooner'or later, of a bonus bill, imposing a heavy and unnecessary burden on the coun try's taxpayers, prominent among whom will be the veterans them selves. The leagueV argument against giving money to all who served in the war are mot new, but they re ceive new woigh't coming from this source. Especial attention is de served by the sbaitemen't that men ^ho canifr back from the war with out iinvfng been wounded, gassed or sliellshocked—and that is 90 ner cent of them all—not only re turned with their earning ability ippreciably increased by the train 'nsr which they had received in the service, but even while with the colors their net earnings were re-iter in most oases than they "ad been before. These veterans say, too, what most people who did not go to the war have hesitated to say, that in case of a large percentage of the men a bonue would not change thr'lr financial condition at all, but "would mean at best but a short oer!od of release from lanor and a '•oyal '"ood time while ithe money lasted." That is a charge sure to be resented, but what usually hap uens to gratuities is well known!— best known, perhaps, to the pur veyors of what the league resolu tions euphemistically call "a royal ?ood time.—The New York Times.

Quintana by Flaming Jewel to his camp in the Adirondacks, where he hoarded it for the education of' his beautiful step-daughter. EVE STRAYER. Quintana appear ed to recover the jewel. Also bent on recovering jewel is JAMES DARRAGH, going under the name of HAL SMITH, who intended to re store it to the countess. Eve escapes from the savage clutches of Quintana with a packet which she thought contained the jewel, but which contained only two bars of chocolate. This packet is stolen from her by two of Clinch's men who went over to Quintana. One of them, ji EARL LEVERETT, murders the other, JAKE KLOON, for the false packet. Hardly had Leverette concealo the body in the woods when hand was placed on his shoulder. CHAPTER II A coward dies many times before Old Man Death really gets him. .The swimming minutes passed hi* mind ceased to live for a space. Then, as through the swirling wa ters of the last dark whirlpool, a •dulled roar of returning conscious ness filled his being. Somebody was shaking him, shouting at him. Suddenly instinct resumed its function, and he strug gled madly to get away from the edge of the sink-hole—fought his way, blindly, through tangled under growth toward the hard ridge. No human power could have blocked^ the frantic creature thrashing tow ird solid ground. But there Quintana held him in his wiry grip. "Fool! Mule! Crazce fellow! What you do, eh? For why you make jumps like rabbits! Eh? You cxpec' Quintana? Yes? Alors!" Leverett, in a state of collapse, sagged back against an oak tree. Quintana's nervous grasp fell from his arms and they swung, dangling. "What you do by that pond-hole? Eh? I come and touch you, and my God!—one would think I have stab you. Such an ass!" The sickly greenish hue changed in Leverett's face as the warmer tide stirred from its stagnation. He lifted his head and tried to look at Quintana. "Where Jake Kloon?" demanded the latter. At that the weasel wits of the trap robber awoke to the instant crisis. Blood and pulse began to jump. He passed one dirty hand over his mouth to mask any twitching. "Where my packet, eh?" inquired Quintana. I "Jake's got it." Leverett's voice was growing stronger. His small I eyes switched for an instant toward his rifle, where it stood against a tree behind Quintana. "Where is he, then, this Jake?'' repeated Quintana impatiently. I "He got bojjcred." "Bogged? What is that, then?" I "He got into a sink-hole." I "What!" "That's all I know," said Leverelt sullenly. "Him and me was travelin' hell-bent to meet up with you^Jake, he was for a short cut to Drownei: Valley—but 'no,' sez I, 'gimme good hard ridge an' a long detoor when there's sink-holes into the woods—' "What is it the talk you talk to me?" asked Quintana, whose per plexed features began to darkc.i. "Where is it, my packet?'' THIN ICE A FLAMING XiOBEBT W CHAMBERS 010012 OSOBGB JLDOBAU COMPANY BEGIN HERE TODAY |.

Clinch brought the drop my rifle, I did—there she stand ^against that birch sapling!—and 1 iua down into them there pitcher plaits. "'*Whar be ye!' I yells. Then I listens, and don't hear nothin' only a kina" wallerin' noise an' a slobber like he was gulpin' mud. "Then I foller them there sound and I come out by that sink-hole. The water was a-shakin' all over it but Jake*'hc had went down plum put o' sight. T'want no- use. I cut a sapling an' I poked, down. I was sick' and scared like, so when you come up over the moss, not inakin' no. noise, an' grabbed me—God!—I guess you'd jump,v too." Quintana's dark, tense face was expressionless when Leverett ven tured to look at him. Like most liars he realized the advisability of looking his victim straight in the eyes. This he managed to accom plish, sustaining the cold intensity of Quintana's gaze as long as he deemed it necessary. Then he started ward his rifle. Quintana blocked his way. "Where my packet?" "Gol ram it! Ain't I "told you? Jake had it in his pocket." "My packet?" "Yaas, yourn." l-Mv© THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17,1922 n- "My packet, it is down in thee sink 'ole?" "You think I'm lyin'?" blustered Leverett, trying to move around Quintana's extended arm. The arm swerved and clutched him by the collar of his flannel shirt. "Wait, my frien'," said Quintana in a^ soft voice. '}You shall explain to me some things before you go." "Explain what!—you gol dinged—" Quintana shook him into speech lessness. "Listen, my frien'," he continued with a terrifying smile, "I mus' ask you what it was, that gun-shot, which I hear while I await at Drown' Vallee. Eh? Who fire a gun?" "I ain't heard no gun," replied Leverett in a strangled voice. "You did not shoot? No?" "No!—damn it all—" "And Jake? He did not fire?" "No, I tell yeh—" "Ah! Someone lies. It is not me, my frien'. No. Let us examine your rifle—" Leverett made a rush for the gun Quintana slung him back against the oak tree and thru,st an automatic pisjtol against his chin. "itan's up, my frien'," he slaid gently, "—up! high up!—or someone will fire another shot you shall never hear. So!. Now I search the other, pocket,. So! Still no packet. Bah! Not in the pants, either? Ah, bah! But wait! Tiens! What is this you hide inside your-shirt—?" "I was jokin'," gasped Leverett "—I was jest a-goin' to give it to you— "Is that my packet?" "Yes. It was all in fun I wan't a-going to steal it—" Quintana unbuttoned the gray wool shirt, thrust in his hand and drew forth the packet for which Jake Kloon had died within the hour. Suddenly Leverett's knees gave way and he dropped to the ground, groveling at Quintanji's feet in an agony of fright: "Don't hurt me," he screamed, "—I didn't meant no harm!

I was lookin'. for you—as God is my witness—" He got Quintana by one foot. Quintana kicked him aside and backed away. "Swine," he said, calmly inspect ing the whimpering creature who had started to crawl toward him. He hesitated, lifted his automatic, then, as though annoyed by Lever ett's deafening shriek, shrugged, hesitated, pocketed both pistol and packet, and turned on his heel. By the birch sapling he paused and picked up Leverett's rifle. Some thing left a red smear on his palm as ho worked the ejectoi*.. It was blood. Quintana gazed curiously at his soiled hand. Then he stopped and picked up the empty cartridge case which had been ejected. And, as he stooped, he noticed more blood on a fallen leaf. With one foot, daintily as a game cock scratches, he brushed away the fallen leaves, revealing the mess un derneath. After he had contemplated the crimson traces of murder for a few moments, he turned and looked at Leverett with faint curibsity. "So," he said in his leisurely, emo tionless way, "you have fight with my irien' Jane lor thee packet. Yes? V^r' amusinp." He shrugged his in difference, tossed the rifle to his shoulder and, without another glance at the cringing creature on the ground, walked away toward Drowned Valley, unhurriedly. (Continued in Our Next Issue) ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts Nancy and Nick were riding along in the magic automobile as nice as pie. They never suspected that Light Fingers, the bad little fairy, was flying right over their heads. And they never knew a thing about the magic pill that Light Fingers had in a bottle. This magic pill made everything it touched go backward, and at this very minute Light Fingers was try ing to drop it into the gasoline tank. At last the bad little fairy got the cap of the tank unscrewed. And in another second he had dropped in the magic pill. The first thing Nancy and Nick knew, the little car stopped with a sudden jerk and they fell right off the seat onto the floor. And the .next thing they knew they were going backward at about a dozen miles a minute. "Oh, my! "cried Nancy. "What's happened "I don't know," answered Nick, "but we'll have to think of a charm as fast as we can. I've got one." So he said: "Magic auto, what's the matter? You act as crazy as a hatter." "I don't know what's wrong with riie," answered a voice. "But some thing's queer inside of me. Try an other charm." So Nick made up this one: "Magic auto, don't go back, You'll bump our heads, like Jill and Jack." But that charm didn't work either. The magic automobile kept on whizzing backward right toward the cave of Twelve Toes, the Sor cerer. Light Fingers was pleased to pieces. MANDANNEWS Court Orders Olson Pay Storage Bill In default of answer by the defend ant .judgment has been entered in the Fourth District court for $13, 452.22 against Jourgen Olson of Mi not. and the United States Fidelity & Guaranty company in favor of N. J. Pierce. The suit was the result of the op erations of the Van Hook Grain com pany by Olson and the' failure by him to redeem grain storage tickets held by the farmers. The farmers turned over the tickets to Pierce for the purpose of bringing the suit. The company bonding the elevator was also made a party to the suit. A class of 28 members,, were con firmed at the special, confirmation services of the Mandan Lutheran church Sunday morning by Rev. C. J. Fylling.

Choir-boys are not suited to church singing, owing to their lack of understanding of the meanii|g^ of the words they sing, according to one London rector. Birds of a feather flock to hats. Who remembers the old advertiss ments urging us to buy coal? Great Britain still hestitates uboui going wild Turkey hunting. Magazines always publish more beauty 'hints than coojcing hints. Distance doeisn': lend very much enchantment to payday. Rumor says Babe Ruth will be sold. It will take a good salesman. Wives always seem to have more relatives than husbands. Wonder if a girl ever penalizes a football star for holding? No coal in the cellar is one sure sign of a hard winter.. The bes.t alarm clock is ham anu eggs cooking in the kitchen. Auto shows are being held. Pc~ destrians havri no show. Some neighbors will borrow any thing, except the baby. The most hair-raiding stories ar on hair tonic bottles. In Owensboro, Ky., a boy was caught bootlegging. There should be a law against minors bootlegging. The man who wants to help lick Tuks didn't help lick Germans. A baby costs more than an auto, but it lastja longer. Only way to prune the national budget is to pull off a few plums. The goal of many a college boy on the football field. When a girl wants a man to save his money he is going to need it. Stcinmetz says four hours is a day's work. The bo' says it is hard to get a man to work that long. Houses are not as scarce as 1 they were, were the rent is. Runs in stockings arc to blame for long skirts. County, cousin will soon get even for city cousins' vacations.
