The huge SeUlen tank truck pur

and oils from its station here, ar
rived last Tuesday morning, and
was immediately pressed into ser
vice. The truck presents a very
neat appearance, and as it is the on
ly one of its kind here, it is at
tracting much attention from ail
who see it. Mr. Moore intends to
take a load of gasolene to Coteau
with it some time this week if the
weather permits.

How much should I give
to make this a better world?
CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. And his total gifts to church and char
ity for the year were $148.
Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
—less than we spend for daily papers
•—less than a local telephone call
—less than a third of the day's car fare
•—less than 3 cents a day
No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No 'wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and chanty society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn't because we are selfish it isn't because we
don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way.
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could'have done it better.
They have budgeted their needs no business could have
a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol
lars will be! saved by the fact that thirty individual cam
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they pme to the men or women who love America
—to you—' this week asking you to use them as the chan
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should tie.
It's a good time right now to answer that question.
We're passing througfy the world just once how much
better will the world be because you passed through?
Farmers in soutlierh Manitoba
and Saskatchewan plan to strafe
grasshoppers with poison gas. Stu
dents of the problem of eliminating
the grasshopper favor use of poison
gases such as were used during the
war. They believe it the most ef
fective weapon with which to com
bat the pests. Tests there have
shown that the grasshoppers have
survived the hard winter and count
less millions are swarming the
plains in the big wheat districts.
Experts advocate use of the gas
just as in war, taking advantage ol
a favorable wind. The gas would
also eradicate thousands of gophers
which farmers have been fighting
with expensive methods for years.
Prairie chickens and birds, it :s
lieved. would escape the fumes.

Candidates for dbunty offices may
now circulate their petitions among
the voters of the county, and same
must be filed with the county audi
tor not more than 40 nor less th in
30 days before the primary election,
though up to the present time the
old man on The Tribune hasn't
even heard of a single petition be
ing circulated. We are told that
the petitions for ,the candidates en
dorsed by the Nonpartisan ,League
at Plaxton a few weeks ago wilh-.be
circulated all in one bunch, and
that petitioners will be asked to sign
the entire eight or ten at one time1.
The fishing for suckers season
will be here now just as soon as
the roads are such that the fisher
men can get out to where the fish
might be caught, and Ed. Drink
water. J. F. "Kaser, Bill Hilgendorf,
Judge Carter, W. C. Heath, J. O.
Norlin, and a few of the other
sports are looking over their nets
and getting everything in readiness
to go after the fish at the first op
portunity. The mouth of Stony
Creek Creek six miles "east of town
seems to be the most popular place
at which to catch suckers each
spring, when the fish start going
up the stream.

As a protest against the high
price of clothing business men all
over the United States have agreed
to wear overalls in their daily rou
tine of work commencing on May
1st, and continuing until the price
of clothing comes down. The sheep
man receives only $6.00 to $12.00
for the amount of wool in a suit of
clothes which sells all the way from
$40.00 to $100.Q0, and the business
men have an idea that some of the
middle men might be getting a dol
lar or two more tha'n what they
should. Governor Frazier has en
dorsed the idea of wearing over
alls after May 1, and most of the
state officers have signed up their
willingness to put away their reg
ular clothes and don overalls until
there is a .change in prices.
Quite a number of owners of Ford
cars have brought their motors to
the Motor Inn during the jpast few
weeks to have the cylinders rebored
and fitted with oversize pistons,
and E. O. Nehring has been keeping
his reboring machine running quite
steady doing this work. In all
cases the motors are working just
like new after Emil gets through
with them.
A joint meeting of the Nonparti
san County Executive Committee
and all the candidates for office en
dorsed) at the league convention
held at Flaxton a few weeks ago,
will be called in a verv short time,
when arrangements will be made
for1 the putting on of a winning
campaign, which will result in the
ultimate election by a big majority
of every candidate on the league
ticket.
In this issue appear a number of
political announcements made by
candidates for county offices. Sev
eral who at the present time hold
offices, and who for a time were
not sure whether or not they would
again become candidates, have made
up their minds to make the run,
and this week throw their hats into
the ring. We learn that there will
also be several others who will
come in next week or the week af

big fight at coming primary elec

The first car to travel any dis
tance through this great Bowbells
country this spring was a Dodge,
which arrived here on Wednesday
of last week on its way from Iowa
to some point in Canada. It got
here about noon, and after Setting
filled with gasolene, arild the driver
eating his dinner, it left for Flaxtrti
at about one o'clock. Later we
learned that this same car reached
Portal and left Portal, having made
the trip ^hrough the snow, mud and
water in Burke county without get
ting stuck anywhere. The driver
stated that he found good roads all
the jtfay until he reached Minot, and
that the roads from that city to the
Canadian line were anything but
good. This simply goes to show
that the large amount of bull that
The Tribune published last sum
mer in regard to the superiority, of
the Dodge cars was somewhere near
the truth, Some of our readers
had an idea that Jay Johnson and
Emil Nehring were paying us large
sums of money for publishing
tthis
dope about the Dodge cars, but we
ca'n truthfully say ^iat neither of
these gentlemen ever gave us as
much as a cigar or a drink for our
efforts. We knew these cars were
great performers, and' the bull about
them was simplv published foe the
benefit of our readers who were in
terested in buying the best car pos
sible for the least money.

HIS is potential mileage

In arriving at these figures we
have taken ten miles per gallon as
the performance of the average car,
and multiplied it by 600,000,000,
the number of gallons of gasoline
marketed by this Company last
year, and divided the result by 365.
The task confronting the Company
is a dual one.
Npt only must it maintain this flow of
gasoline at all times, but it must so plan
its activities as to keep pace with con
stantly increasing demand for fuel,
whether this demand be normal or
abnormal.
That, in a word, is the job of the Stand
ard Oil Company (Indiana) and the
Company is as big as its job.
Every resource, every ounce of energy,
and all its equipment are at work to keep
pace with the" insistent demands for
gasoline and other products.
The management recognizes its respon

the Company serves, and eveiy effort is
being made to meet this responsibility.
