Less flax was produced last year than was necded for the domestic market. The demand for sweet clover and alfalfa, according to experts, has not been met in an adequate manner. : Potato growing, however, is, called the “annual guessing contest.” Professor Boss, however, sug- gests a ten to fifteen per cent increase in the spud acreage. Corn and hogs, it is estimated, will prove a good combination for 1926 and predictions are being made of a stronger market also for beef cattle feeders. A normal expansion of dairy farming is to be en- couraged on the basis of present indications. s who These are tips for the farmers from exp are in close touch with market conditions. It is difficult matter to advise the agriculturist—so many uncertain factors enter into the busine Prof. Boss, however, seems conservative in his advice and The Tribune passes the suggestions along for what they are worth. Something’s Doing in Oklahoma A mysterious train of murders, extending back over a period several years, has drawn the attention of the country to conditions existing among the Osage Indians in Oklahoma. Thus far, nothing but the circumstances of the murders has crept into the news dispatches. But, Swhether you dike to.read about mufders or not, it may pay to follow these dispatches, ‘For during the next few days details of corruption and oppression that will make you open your eyes Gre dikely to come out of Oklahoma. It,is an open secret in Oklatioma that the Osage and other—Indians there have been systematically victimized by*white men for years. That, of course, has been the common lot of the red man ever since white men reached America. But we have flattered ourselves that in modern times the Indian has enjoyed as, good treatment as he could wish. Disquieting stories from Oklahoma; however,| contradict this. There are hints of persecution, of graft, of high-handed swindles practiced just within the law; tales of open robbery, of greed that has Jeft Indians penniless and without redress; stories that sound as if they come from medieval Russia instead of modern Americ: Z ‘The latest murder cases, fortunately will prob-| = ~ably bring these tales out into the open where the rest of the country can read them. “righted. 1 ~~ fn that case it is to ‘be hoped that Americans will ¢ be enough aroused to see that the wrongs are mistake.

A Good Idea The town of Milton, Mass., has been smitten with a good idea. Henceforth, no resident of the town will be buried in a pauper’s grave. The town has a cemetery—a beautiful one, too— in which any citizen may have a lot for the asking. The old shame of a namelesg grave is ended. Milton should be commended. ! Something New There is something new under the sun, after all. Notre Dame University announces that it doesn’t care to go in for a new football stadium until some much-needed dormitories are erected. It sounds al- most too good to be true. ' Editorial Comment The Tax Reduction Battle (Grand Forks, N. D., Herald): It has been predicted ‘evér since the administra- tion’s plans for tax reduction were announced that the tax cutting bill would meet rough sledding when it came ‘before congress, and the present in- dications are that these forecasts will ‘be realized. maximum reduction justified by the condition of ing democrat on the senate finance committee, has expressed the view that $400,000,000 is the minimum reduction which would be acceptable to his party. Republican insurgents a also expected to jump into the fight with a demand for the retention of the publicity :provision on income taxes, which has been shown to have about as much value as a dog's second tail, and which would be repealéd under the terms of the adminietration pill. It is a safe ‘bet that the insurgents will join with the demo- }incomes than are provided in the administration | bul. This opposition will make the passage of the bill difficult. It may force modification of some of the minor provisions, Bit it is reasonably certain that find that its federal tax burdens ‘have been materi- ally reduced, and will place the credit for that reduction where it belongs, with President Coolidge, and his businesslike administration of the nation’s 4, Watch Oklahoma, You may le OS" teresting.

A jion—a whole world—knows him and loves him, And what was ‘he brief years ;ag0? A nickel kicker. Do you ‘know what a nickel is? Maybe this will describe it. 7 Years ago Irving Berlin—his name then was Izzy Baline—was a ‘singing waiter in Nigger Mike's + saloon on New York's Bowery. When patrons were pleased with his singing they threw coins to him. “tYou had to be mighty clever with your feet in or- der {o stop the roHing nickels and dimes.

The present suit, arose from the Internal an option for the sale of grain. In 1925 trading in grain futures totaled 31,416,196,000 bushels. As tae crop totals are expressed in millions, this shows that the crops were bought and so!d- many times. The Grain Futures Administration reported that accounts in excess of 500,000 bushels furnished 22 per cent of the trades. Farmers do not trade in such units and have a rooted dislike of them, thinking that such saleg in the working of the exchanges alone that gave the farmers the opportunity of selling wheat at $2.05 last January, or more than it was worth, as was furlous trading raised the price, for every option sale had to be covered for delivery at the loss of those who bought under a mistake about the rela- prevented the price from ‘fabiing excessively. The utility of the methods of the exthanges lies in its enabling traders in real grain, like millers or ex- porters, to eecure themselves agajnst loss in ful- fillment of their contracts. The farmers fear ghosts ‘when they see the phantom bushels. The banks in 1925 cleared $512,000,000,000 in checks, although there is only five billions of money ‘in the country. The decision of the court on Monday was upon a principle broader than grain trading. The tax of 20 cents ‘a bushel was so great that trading was virtually forbidden. Therefore the tax was a*“pen- sity” on trading, not a means of raising revenue, and sebeme under the guise of taxation wag un- Federal contro] over interstate commerce in that murder, is expected to testify against him. | Russel Scott escaped hanging be-| but still sane enough to testify in a court of law; In the face of Secretary Mellon's warning that the!) the treasury is $330,000,000, Senator Simmons, rapk-! think that’ 1 rats in a demand for higher surtax rates on larg?) ! when the smoke has cleared away the public will Pan: act of 1922.

NOTE: - This _ is |the second of a series by Dr. Cumming fon prevention and care of tubercu- lysis. Tomorrow: Treatment of the disease. . BY DR. HUGH IMMIN Surgeon General, U. S. Public Health Service 1-—Should q patient with tubercu- j losis be told he has the disease? Yes. Not to tell a patient that he has the disease is wrong. The only i hope of cure depends upon the in- telligent cooperation of the patient. Doctors should tell a patient exactly what his condition is and what he must do to get well: 2—Is tuberculosis hereditary? No. Practically never. Consum) tion runs in certain families becau: of the exposure of the young child to the disease. 3—Where are the germs of tuber- culosis found? The germs of tuberculosis are sons suffering from. the discase, sometimes in the milk of diseased cows. The germs are always present in any lesion of a tuberculous na- ture. 4—How do the germs of tubercu- losis get into the body? The germs of tuberculosis enter the human body usually from the sputum of a tuberculous patient or. from milk from tuberculous cows which has not been pasteurized. The germs may be deposited upon dust, especially the dust of a foul room, and drawn into the lungs by breath. ing. The germs are frequently pres- ent in the fine spray coughed out by tuberculous patients and this spray is often coughed directly into the faces of other people. Germs may be deposited upon the rim of a cup or glass or upon a fork or spoon or-upon any article such as a pencil or coin, that is placed in the mouth of a tuberculous patient and in this way may be conveyed to the mouths of others. Tuberculous pa- - “TUBERCULOSIS: Etc a RO a Eh LEE BOX ON 5 r — tients often have the. germs upor their hands. They pass easily to the. hands of ‘others ahd thence, to the mouth.

Not all persons who get the germs into their bodies develop active syinp- toms of the disease. It is probab! that most of the germs entering the body ate destroyed before they do any harm. On the other hand, the germs: that lodge in the boda live and to.a limited degree multiply and even in such cases hever give rise to active tuberculosis of the lungs. The enlarged glands so often scen. in children are frequently due to tuberculosis, yet the child may never develop an active form of the disease. Such persons are said to be infected with latent tuberculosis. When the disense becomes active it is called manifest tuberculosis, There is good rearon to believe that most persons become infected during childhood. If, later in life, the disease becomes ac- tive, Jy is believed in most cases to be due t such childhood ‘infectign. 6-+Is there any way to tell if a per- son has become: infected with tuber- culosis? Yes, there is a very simple test not unlike vaccination by means of which it can be determined whether or not a person has become infected. From this test it is known that most grown ‘people are infected with the germs of the disease. It is not applicable in some cases and conditions. (To Be Continued) sacrilege.
