(Official City, State and County Newspaper) FRANCE RECOGNIZES THE DEBT The proposal that European debtors trade some of their colonies to the United States for the cancellation of their war debts has been made several times by*Euro- peans, but it has received no official consideration so far o as the public knows. A former French consul-general at New York is the latest to make the suggestion. He asks why the United y States and France do not settle the ticklish question of # French war debts, which already has aroused so much ill feeling and is likely to cause more, by having the 4 French cede certain of their colonies to the United t States in return for cancellation of a part or all of { France’s debt. 2 America insists that the war debts be paid, but she ? wants them paid in gold, not in unwilling subjects. This ; nation is not in the market for additional territory. It 2 now has more than it knows what to do with. Exper- ¥ ience has taught the American people that cancellation ¢ of the French debt might prove cheaper than assum- is ing some of her troublesome colonial obligations. bh From every angle the proposal would be a bad deal F for the United States. It would mean a liability crown- i ing a liability, a compounding of a debt. The offer is, in one respect, not distasteful to Ameri- t cans. It reflects a happy change in France’s debt pol- 8 icy. A few months ago she was demanding cancellation and offering nothing but insults in exchange. Today t she is willing to pay her debt with land. At last she 4 admits it is an honest debt. That in itself will restore friendly feelings between the two peoples, because the ' United States is exercising the greatest charity and pa- : tience toward her debtors. K TOO MANY COUNTIES { Counties were created in the days when the United States had much land and few people. They were made small in area to spare the people long journeys to the courts and tax office and to simplify county administra- tion. These arguments for many small counties cannot be advanced today. Good roads and automobiles and other means of communication and transportation have wrought the change. Consolidation of counties will result. In fact, two Tennessee counties already have merged. No doubt ; there would be many such consolidations but for the pol- ' Iticians who see in these moves the abolition of high- « salaried public offices. The county government is a fruitful tyee of political patronage. € The Tennessee merger was successful. James county § was poor and sparsely settled. The neighboring county } >f Hamilton was rich and thickly populated. Since the t fonsolidation, the section that was James county has : Increased its improved-roads mileage from one and one- + half mile to five miles. The taxpayers of Hamilton county aré paying a large part of the bill but they can { now drive through what was James county over good : roads and expect to benefit through the development of ' that section which is bound to come with highway im- i provements. \ There :.re in every state “pauper counties,” some of |. them in a precarious condition financially and many actually dependent upon the state. There is no longer | Necessity for many political subdivisions and economy business, The other government barge lines have helped the railroads. They have done this not only by acting as “feeders” for rail centers, but by promoting general prosperity and enhancing the movement of goods. The railroads need not fear this latest development. FORD BUILDS FOR THE FUTURE One of the little questions that keep economists and. business observers speculating is the problem, “what will happen to the Ford Motor Co., when Henry Ford dies or retires?” It is beginning to look, now, as though Ford intended that it should go right on functioning. At any rate, his commencement of operations on his great rubber tract in Brazil seems to point that way. Ford is preparing to grow rubber on a tremendous scale. It will be an exceedingly expensive undertak- ing, and it will be a good many years before the tract can begin to yield a product. It looks as though Ford were looking far ahead and building for the compara- tively distant future. His rubber plantation: will not provide any tires for Ford cars in much less than a and efficiency demand a reduction. SHORTENING THE INTERIM Under th. election laws as they stand presidential tandidates are nominated in June, are notified of their nomination in August, campaign three months until the election in November and enter office the following March. The president-elect is a nonentity in the na- tional government for four months after his election. He sees a “lame duck” congress enacting legislation and hears the retiring president read a message to con- gress between the time of his election and inaugura- tion. There were reasons for these delays in early days when communication was difficult. Then it required two months to notify a man of his nomination and a cam- paign of three months was too short. And the result of _ ® presidential election was not known for weeks after ) the election. Today the radio and telegraph make it \ possible to determine the outcome within forty-eight | hours after the polls close, and the victor could reach _ Washington from the Pacific coast in a few hours by _ plane or in a few days by railroad. So there is a rising tide of agitation for modifica- _ tion of these laws to. reduce the period of the whole _ presidential-election process from nine months to three | or four months, Three months from nomination to elec- | had the old-fashioned flavor that belongs with the per- _ + tion and thirty days from election to inauguration would | be ampl Congress should effect these changes to give quicker ffect to the will of the people as expressed in the elee- tidn and out of fairness to the president-elect, “A RADIANT NORDIC AMAZON” And now we begin to understand why it is that a poet or a musician can run rings about any other young man in the business of courtship, Perey Grainger, well-known American pianist, is en- gaged to a Swedish girl, Miss Ella Pola Strom.

When a man can use phrases like that to i his beloved, what chance has the ordinary man got? Many a girl would rather have a man who could ¢, talk that way than a less articulate fellow who had a 9 on the Missouri river. % doubtless will prove a good one, not only _,_ This ventare decade. Apparently Ford sees his automobile com- pany as a concern that is going to stay in busincss for a long time. THE IMPORTANT FREIGHTER The ocean liner, as Kipling remarked, is a lady, and @ very dressy, showy one at that. The Leviathans and Majestics are’the boats that get in the news and make patriotic Americans and Britishers point with pride. But it is the lowly freighter that is really important, after all.» Edward P. Warner, assistant secretary of the navy, points out in the current Review of Reviews, that America’s hope of getting a merchant marine of the first rank lies not in developing big transatlantic liners, but in launching a host of prosaic cargo-car- tiers that can take our goods to South America and Asia. The rusty-looking freighter may not be very in- spiring to look at, but it is highly important in the business world—and that is what counts, TWO CREWS ON THE S-4 The submarine S-4, which rested on the bottom of the sea off Provincetown, Mass., for three months, a temporary tomb for her entire crew, has been repaired and is once more afloat, ready to go back into service. One rather imagines that the members of the crew will have to be men of iron nerves. The submarine is, of course, as safe as any other now; yet a man with too much imagination might easily get the creeps serving aboard it. Imagine curling up in a bunk and meditating that that very bed stayed under water for three months, with a lifeless sailor stretched out on it! The S-4 must carry a crew of ghosts in addition to her regular compliment. Let’s hope that the sailors will be able to ignore them, HOW ABOUT PIGS’ KNUCKLES? The Department of Agriculture has just presented a fact, or an alleged fact, that is highly disturbing. It_reports that the ancient and odorous dish, sauer- kraut, is not really of German origin at all. It was invented, says the department, somewhere in Asia; probably in China. This is a paralyzing sort of thing to say. Sauer-| kraut a Chinese dish? You can no more associate it in your mind with the land of mandarins than you can think of whipped cream as a staple article of diet for the ancient Vikings. Something is wrong. The de- partment, rest assured, must have been misinformed. | Editorial Comment | RIGHT OF WAY FOR GRAIN (St. Paul Dispatch.) After September 1, grain for export will have the right of way over all other freight on the Upper River barge line, officials of the Minnesota River Improve- ment commi mn announce. Until ice blocks the chan- nel, grain be the privileged though not the only cargo of the barges from St. Paul to New Orleans and it is estimated that a million bushels will be carried in that period of time. | A million bushels, even were it all wheat, would seem a small quantity in comparison with the 20 million bush- els cf wheat raised in Minnesota this year or the 110 millions grown in North Dakota. But of the hard spring wheat little is exported. inly it is a small fraction of the American surplus that is exported. It is of such quality that domestic demand ret: the getter: part of it at home for the fastidious American palate. The barge line is getting its share of the export grain, and has become already an important factor in that trace. When points on the lower river are jipped to handle grain shipments, it will become the highway over which the South will receive its bread grains and coarse grains for livestock. Then the capacity of the barge line will be tested to the full and the trans- portation costs so saved will be reflected in the paid to the farmer. ONE OF THE LAST (Omaha World-Herald) : Some of our younger sophisticates are inclined to sneer at what is commonly called Victorianism and the ‘ictor era. There was a good deal that now seems pretty ridiculous about the mores of that period. Its cu.toms and conventions, the tight lacing of its women, the whiskery absurdity of its men, were pretty funny in the light of modern manners. It was an age of inhibitions and repressions, many of them silly enough, goodness Rnows, but not so stifling as some people would have us think. For instead of being a dark, dusty, unprogressive age, it was an age in which genius flowered, genius in statecraft, in litera- ture in drama, in art, inventive genius, creative genius and interpretive genius. . Ellen Terry, now dead at the age of 80, was a product of that ige. She was one of the last survivors of its galaxy of brilliant greatness. Like Hardy she was one of that group of its famous characters who spanned the gap and lingered long into the new era, dignified and stately reminders of the glories of the old. Dame Terry she was called in her old age because of a decoration conferred upon her by a king who came to recognize what his subjects and known for many years, that here was a woman above women. The decoration added nothing to her fame, but the title fit her well. It price iod of her eater Her name will live through the ages as long as dra- matic art exists, ACCORDING TO FORMULA (Helena, Mont., Record-Herald) For party harmony the party was driven to the adoption of a platform compromisingly equiv- ocal on on, aloe 18 of the fortheo: paign. ya could have won the ited bitterly hostile as, the several factions of cratic party.

Hoover or Smith seems to mean something to nearly everyone and as many as 35,000,000 eae may be rae on oysntes ings are beginning pen and to be brought about, but vey of the visible developments cast little light on the probable result. The betting odds are on Hoover and no Smith gambler ought to take even money, but it seems as if the Democrats were in a stronger po- sition than at any time since 1916 and it is generally believed that Smith is sure to get more electoral votes than either Cox or Davis. The situation probably will not be- gin to jell, however, before October. Take Minnesota. Unprejudiced opinion generally is that Henrik Shipstead, who is running again on the Farmer-Labor: ticket, will get himself reelected to the Senate. The three or four hundred thousand voters who elect Shipstead will be virtual independents; there is no Farmer - Labor presidential ticket. Minnesota Democrats are hoping that, with wet sentiment and farm discontent, they can get the bulk of the Shipstead voters, who could carry the state for Smith. Criticizes Coolidge Shipstead has avoided the presi- dential issue, but is criticizing the Coolidge McNary - Haugen veto and spoke recently from the same plat- form with Frank Murphy, farm leader and a delegate to the Repub- Beee convention who hag bolted to mith. Wisconsin exhibits a somewhat similar situation. The state may for Smith. For one thing, there is more wet sentiment there. And Senator Young Bob La lett ence of the state’s voters, hope the Sd soar voters will turn to mith. There is nothing to show as yet that Democratic supremacy is im- periled in the south or that the Re- publicans are likely to lose anything in the farm belt. There is a tend- ency to class North Carolina for the present as doubtful, along with the border states of Kentucky, Tennes- see, Oklahoma and Missouri. Farm- er George N. Peek’s leap into the Smith camp may be the most im- nt break of the sort to date, ut quite as likely that Farmer Peek’s jump isn’t important at all. Although most of the political dope at this stage is mere specula- tion, it may do no harm to point out that the progressive element, which has lately held the balance of power jin the Senate, may exert some sim- ilar influence on the election. If Smith holds the South and breaks into the East as he hopes to do, the possibility becomes a likelihood. Nebraska voters are also expert at splitting their tickets. Bryan, who carried tl ite by 50,- 000 for governor in 1922, is out after lowed Smith. Senator George Nor- ris has publicly expressed his dis- gust with his party—or, rather, with the Republican party. Nebraska is one of those states where the com- bined La Follette and Davis vote in 1924 exceeded the Coolidge vote. Like La Follette and Shipstead, both Bryan and Norri: ives. Towa and Kansas are safe for Hoover and probably both Dakotas. Progressives among members of Congress from those states show no disposition to spoil the Hoover show. Montana, from this Senator Burton K. Wheeler, the most inde) nt ive = ocrat in the Senate, is a source of much less worry to his friends since te, whose reelection is expected, ap} ently isn’t worrying about what om ns to Hoover, La Follette and his followers have no love for the Cool- | Co: idge policies which Hoover has promised to continue and Wisconsin | ying Democrats, knowing the independ- Test with CIGARETS , AND “fo WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN == GENTLEMEN’, I “TRIED “THE BLINDFOLD FouR BRANDS oF the Democratic primary.

MY NAME IS A Charlie | tt t IN NEW YORK | New York, August 11—The most metropolitan of New Yorkers have taken to “going rural” during the summer season. Whereas the moneyed folk have for generatior ; had their country estates, the vogue among artists, writers and such is to own a farm. Hundreds now live on farms for several months of the year, and scores actually attempt to lead an, farm life as a reaction from the exactions of Manhattan life.

CAUSES OF INSANITY A great majority of those of un- sound mind may be classed in the dementia praecox group. As in hys- teria, one of the principal causes of this trouble must be considered the result of congestion within the pelvis, either of the uterus or pros- tate. Displacement of the ab- nominal organs and constipation are contributory causes to this conges- tion caused by functional inactivity and negative emotional desires. There is often a history of an un- happy love affair. Every cause of dementia praecox should be given a feW days’ fruit fast, in order to assist in the blood cleansing processes and also to re- lieve pelvic pressure caused by a prolapsus of the stomach and in- testines, since, when the prolapsed digestive organs are comparatively free from food, there is much less Pressure upon the organs and nerve Plexuses of the lower abdomen. Many cases of mental instability, accompanied by illusions and hallu- cinations have: been shown by psychoanalysis to be due to mental repressions and incoordination of thought. Besides these mental com- plexes, there are some other causes of a distinctly material nature, such as brain irritation from poisons, traumatic injuries, surgical shocks, and venereal diseases. The wasting of nervous energy has a very decided effect in contributing to the formation of these diseases. For example, eye strain may pro- duce disorders in parts of the body seeming to have no direct connec- tion with the organs of vision. In- digestion, constipation, general eye weakness, and mental irritability can be entirely caused by an eye strain which does not impart any Pronounced indication in the region of the eyes. That which is termed “nervous- negs” has its origin in some mental or physical irritation, aggravated by fatigue and general enervation, the symptoms coming from some weak kp in the nervous system. Actual disease and destruction of the nerve cells are very rare, and do not usu- ally occur until the body becomes exceedingly toxic. If you wish to overcome nervous- ess, you must understand the num- erous causes producing it. If the reason lies in your eyestrain, see ur optometrist. If you are eating indiscreetly, you must earnestly strive to correct your mistakes and substitute good habits for those you find to be bad. If you are over- working mentally, it will be neces- sary to cut down on the mental work, and substitute more physical exercise. If you .are enervating yourself with destructive habits of thought, as of fear, criticism, jealousy, worry, or malice, you can immediately enjoy. a miraculous change by tuning out these destruc- tive thoughts and tuning in their constructive opposites — courage, ‘pogiags confidence, repose and love, Spear, woman advertising specialist; Deems Taylor, the composer of “The King’s Henchman,” and a score of others, including “Woody” Cowan, who draws “Mom and Pop.” Woodstock is anciher “farm ing the abdominal muscles atin the prolapsed conditi Dr. McCoy will gladly juestions on healt is to him, care of the Tribune.

Y. writes: “Every time I turn my head to the left my neck snaps. What causes it? Also, my arms at the elbows, and my legs at the knees become * numbeand ache if I don’t keep them perfectly straight when I sleep. Is it improper circulation, or my | } nerves?” r Answer: The neck-snapping is caused from some faulty position of the vertebrae or ligaments in your neck. This can probably be correct- ed by osteopathic or chiropractic treatments. The numbness of your elbows and knees may be caused by a mild form of rheumatism or by poor circulation due to insufficient exercise. Question: B. J. asks: “Will you please tell me how to reduce the ankles?” Answer: There is only one method I know of to reduce the ankles, and that is by exercise. Many twisting and bending exer- cises may be used, but walking is * the best one of all, and will reduce the ankles as much as they can be reduced. Question: Mrs. L. J. writes: | “Have had an itch on one foot un- - derneath and between the toes for about one and a half years. Can suggest a cure for it? And what causes a pain in the left chest when taking a deep breath? This does not happen at the time — usually only when I laugh a lot.” : Answer: You fe be able to cure the itch underneatl ur toes by bathing your feet frequent in warm water to which has added a handful of. Epsom salts. The feet should be bathed at least twice daily, carefully dried afterwards, and borie acid powder sprinkled in your stockinss and between your toes.
