(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Those Feed Sales Feed sales of the State Mill have focused considerable criticism upon the management of the industry under Governor Sorlie’s admin- istration. These are discussed today in the second article covering the Poole-Schantz re- port, Today’s article has been prepared by the Associated Press and appears in all member papers today. The feed sales are explained very clearly in two sections of the report which read as fol- lows: “The mill manufactured sufficient feed to fill all its feed contracts. Default, where made, was not due to not having available the feed necessary to fill the contracts but ‘was due to the selling of feed to other con- sumers at a higher price and deliberately failing to fill the contracts. ‘ “The mill by defaulting in the delivery of 1,522 tons of feed realized a clear profit of $3,285.92 in excess of the penalty of $10,654 paid to the I. S. Joseph company.” “A statement made in the Lund report that the mill agreed to deliver its mill feed products for a period of six months at $21 a ton ap- parently is without foundation. Either Mr. Lund failed to check actual conditions or his ignorance of the mifling business was respon- sible for this error in his report. The Sorlie examination of the books of the Joseph company shows that other mills pri- vately owned defaulted on their feed contracts deliberately and made more money by selling on the open market as did the State Mill. This action’ was only good business judgment and should have been commended rather than con- demned through inuendo and insinuation. For political reasons only a half truth was told, the politicians hoping that the people of the state would promptly make the deduction that the administration of the mill in the hand- ling ‘of these feed items was either stupid or deliberately dishonest. Examination of the Joseph company books show that the State Mill management handled this business as all other mills do and received prevailing prices for feed except where, by defaulting from contract, a better profit was made for the State Mill. These figures should dispose of Mr. Lund’s flimsy criticisms of the handling of the feed sales. An effort to set forth all the facts in connection with these transactions would have _been a much fairer policy. But of course a political campaign was in the offing and Mr. Lund has an old grievance against Mr. Burch- ard, who has been engaged in several audits by the State Mill and who happens to be a member of the Accountancy Board with which Mr. Lund has had some dealings, If Mr. Lund could have removed all animus in his audits, probably he would have come nearer to actual facts and conditions. When You're Winning -Alumni of Ohio State who now are demanding the scalp of Coach Wilce are strange, comments an editorial writer. But, are they so strange, after all? Isn’t it true that you have to win to keep your job? i Last year Wilce put a good team on the grid- fron and the team won, the only conference de- feat being’ a battle lost to Michigan by one point, Wilce was proclaimed by alumni as a year, with the material not so good, a team that finished sixth in the conference, losing three games and winning the Yale veteran, has been a vic- experiences.

Now there is a eat hue and cry that Jones remain, and that critics were certainly all wrong. Which only goes to prove that it’s always fair _ + weather until rain begins to fall.

It is one of the whims and vanities of mascu- linity to refer to reading of the advertisements as one of woman’s weaknesses spurned by every real he-man. The secret is out of the bag. Dur- ing the Christmas-shopping season vest pockets are stuffed with clippings from newspaper ad- vertisements to remind the possessor what to buy and where to buy it. Caught in the act of reading the ads this big he-man will try to get away with the alibi that he was driven to it by the paucity of sports news between Thanks- giving and Christmas. Ne Hysterics Now, Please The highest court has decided that Ruth Snyder and Henry Gray must die for the mur- der of Mrs. Gray’s husband in his New York home. It is no time for hysterics about that. There are many who will feel it gruesome and cruel to put a woman to death, but while the law is what it is, Mrs. Snyder is getting only justice. To show mercy to a woman who mur- ders, basing that mercy only on the fact that she is a woman, would be a discrimination we have come too far forward to allow. There will be plenty of stories about this doomed pair from now until they die. We only hope that those who write them do not sob too greatly for the two people who deliberately planned a murder and carried it out upon their victim as he slept. : Their punishment is great, but let us not forget their deed.

The Land Movement in North Dakota (Minneapolis Tribune) The sturdy demand for farm lands reported from North Dakota offers one more convincing proof of the progress that state is making along the road of economic stability. An extreme- ly vigorous movement in these lands is revealed by a survey just completed by the Greater North Dakota association. Nearly 150,000 acres have been purchased during the past three months, this survey shows, and a sum approxi- mating $5,000,000 has been involved in the many transactions. _ This land movement has a number of pleas- ing aspects. It is significant that many of the purchases have been made by tenant farmers in North Dakota who have prospered to an ex- tent which warrants a substantial property in- vestment. Many of the purchases, too, have been made by present farm owners who, having found their existing farm plants profitable, have not hesitated to extend their activities. The North Dakota farmer, apparently, is in a Position to buy land because he has profited tidily by good crops, by the prudent diversifica- tion of his resources, and by an increasing reliance on the dairy cow. It is interesting to note, too, that a keen in- terest in North Dakota farm lands has been evinced by settlers from other states. that the “metric issue has overwhelmit than 40 of the world” and that “it can introduce en Col meibures system and once it passed two out three readings in the House.

My suggestion is A_REAL CURE FOR ASTHMA The first thing for the asthma te oe taking? be of any ie is tal . = Neludes tHe elimination of adnate, serums, morphine, opium, smoking powders, coffee or caffein in any other form. i The next step in the cure is to completely cleanse the alimentary canal of any accumulated food or toxic fecal matter. At least two enemas daily shvuld be taken, and more if necessary to assist in elim- inating intestjnal"gas. No food of any kind should be used for at least four or five days— no milk, soup, coffee, coca, or any other drinks except whatever water is desired. This is a simple “water” fast and will bring about the quick- i rid of asthmatic and will ..ork wonders in assisting in the elimination of accumulated bronchial mucus. The water fast shoul’ be contin- ued for Jonger than Zour or five days if it is necessary, extending it to ten or fifteen days if symptoms persist or the tongue remains heav- ily coated cra tle breath foul. No fear need be felt about the conse- quences of the longer fast as only good results will follow. This fast has been taken by many th isands, and thousands of actual cures re- ported, without a single harmful experience. After all symptoms have subsided, and it seems advisable to break the fast, the followi dietary regime sitould be followcd: Uron arising in the morning take few calisthenic exercises in a room w''' plenty of free circula:! of air.
