(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ALYZING BEAUTY And now they’re telling us that Indian summer isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. A chemist in the Chicago health department has analyzed Indian summer sunlight. Shuddering, he re- ports that it is deficient in actinic rays, and, accord- ingly, less healthful than the brighter sunshine of mid- summer. Indian summer, he feels, is “all right for a visit, but you couldn’t hire him to live there.” Now this is quite in the American tradition. We're 80 accustomed to analyzing things, from industrial steel to moonbeams, that we can’t let anything alone. We have a passion for finding out the cold-facts utility of everything. We don’t ask if a given object or institu- tion is beautiful, enjoyable or pleasing; we ask if it is useful. If it is, fine; if not, out the window with it. Are we not a nation that boasts a radio, an automobile and a household budget in every home? That’s fair enough, to be sure. But sometimes we seem to be transplanting our favorite cost-accounting system boldly into the realm of spiritual and aesthetic values. When we do, we shall, like the blind man led by a blind man, topple forthwith into a ditch. For there are things that even an efficient American tan’t analyze. To scrutinize Indian summer sunlight in a laboratory is to be woefully blind. Indian summer wasn’t meant to be healthful; it was meant to be some- thing better. It is as much a state of mind as it is any- ‘thing; in it, a man can step out of the frenzied daily ypace and watch the age-old miracle of scarlet-clad death laying the seeds of an invincible new life—and ‘thereby, if he is wise, gain for himself knowledge about shis own destiny that jwill out-value all the laboratory ,experiments between here and Gehenna. Every now and then some playwright or novelist has ‘a nightmare in which he sees America as a nation of ‘Robots—soulless, mechanized individuals that functfon on the spiritual level of the machines they operate. 4 Bad dreams don’t often come true. Yet sometimes operation. They are engaged in an unselfish service. Those worth their salt could be earning far more out- side the pulpit than in. To that degree, at least, they are more self-sacrificing than their fellows who darken the doors of the churches only by the black shadows of slander it is their business to cast. Often the tritic of the preacher is prompted by a guilty conscience. He argues for an excuse to remain outside of the church. His holier than thou attitude marks him for what he is, and few are deceived. If he is really sincere his place is where he can work most effectively for the reforms he urges, and most certainly that is not in the seats of the corners. READJUSTMENT AHEAD Col. Leonard P. Ayres, famous statistician of the Cleveland Trust Co., points out that the exportation of half a billion dollars worth of gold from the United States during the past year is going to have a very marked effect on our business life. The “golden age” of business, in which there was un- limited credit with consequent boom times, is about over, he says. In its wake will come an era in which the plodder and the thrifty will prosper instead of the speculator and the take-a-chance sharpshooter. Our prosperity will remain, but “a period of readjustment to new conditions probably lies ahead, and it may be expected to present important difficulties.” These are words worth heeding. Colonel Ayres knows his subject. He is not pessimistic about the im- mediate or distant future; far from it. But he does sound a warning that a soberer time lies ahead of us. 50,000 ACCIDENTS The National Safety Congress has analyzed some 50,000 automobile accidents to see what the drivers re- sponsible were doing when the accidents happened. Its figures are interesting. In over 19,000 cases the responsible driver did not have the right of way. In 7,000 he was speeding. In an equal number he was on the wrong side of the road. More than 5,000 followed a driver’s failure to signal his intentions. Four thousand were due to cutting in. some 3,800 came when the driver drove off the road. Those figures help to indicate what the dangerous forms of traffic law violation are. It is worth noticing that the biggest single division—the first one listed in the above paragraph—was caused chiefly by a driver’s selfishness. The man who plows ahead when he does not have the right of way is simply inconsiderate of the rights of others, ee NEW AIR GIANTS While Germany and England put the finishing touches on two giant new dirigibles, larger and more palatial than anything yet attempted, the airplane de- signers are also looking to greater size and carrying capacity. A German firm is now constructing a flying boat of unheard-of size. This monster airplane will carry 185 passengcrs, will weigh 115 tons with a full load and will be equipped with 10 1000-horsepower motors which will give it a speed of 180 miles an hour. If airplanes of this size prove practical, steamship and railroad lines will begin to look on aviation as a most dangerous competitor for passenger traffic. A plane that carries a mere half dozen passengers is no menace; but one that takes 185 would give trans- portation leaders many an hour of worry. » seem to be headed ih that direction. We can analyze Van summer sunlight, dissect moonlight, make syn- tie rose petals and calculate the horsepower en- ndered by white surf on a golden beach; and, wrapped in these pursuits, we can come close to losing our i nortal souls, MAN’S PERENNIAL ENEMY { Alarm and apprehension there will be to learn that qzats are on the increase. The menace to health, to #4y nothing of the utter repulsiveness of the creatures, tis sufficient to cause uneasiness. But however unpleasant this news may be, there is gyet that in the discussion of the situation to relieve the ee dejection, perhaps completely counteract it with sort of elation. In one sense of the word the public has always been’| it conscious, and in another sense it is only now be- ming rat conscious. That is, it has always feared and ithed the rodents but never sufficiently to undertake concerted drive for their extermination. Today, real forts are being made to decimate the rat population. Rats destroy property, spread disease and cause more omfort and annoyance than a troubled conscience. large part of the world’s food production is con- d by them, and by their mere presence they make A even greater part of it unfit for human consumption. It is a matter of economy and thrift to spend a gen- amount each year in the extermination of rats mice. No owner of a building, whether home or » can afford to permit rodents to overrun it ted. Effective methods of rodent extermination have been ped in recent years and are in wide usage.

Plumbers and mechanies have a habit of using washers and bolts. Newspaper men, thoug! they seldom indulge in poker, have been known to use type or stub pencils. Cartoonists use pen points or thumbtacks. These can be highly recommended, for they quickly break a too enthusiastic player of grab- bing for a pot. If an Indian is a trapper he uses pelts for chips; if he is a hunter he may toss in elks’ teeth or bears’ claws. A Chinese uses buttons, which explains what becomes of buttons that are missing from laundered shirts, In Chicago Mrs, Sarah Markis has obtained a divorce from her restaurant\ proprietor husband, George, be- cause he made her stay up all night frying pancakes to be used as poker chips. Any one will admit that this ‘sas cruel and inhuman treatment; he should have called in his chef to flop the flapjacks. While he displayed novelty and some originality in his choice of chips, George was influenced by his business, which bears out the original premise. But there was one point in his favor that any poker player would appreciate—you could sweeten the pot with maple syrup at the end of ight’s session and have breakfast before you went $100 PER ACRE FOR OUR LAND (Emmons County Record) As will be seen in the columns of this paper, Linton- ites have decided to join with the other towns of the county to put on a corn show this year. This is as it should be. We are to demonstrate that we are a real live city, and are to do our share in the initial work of foraging this country. It is not alone the pleasure that our farmers may derive from meeting together for a day in social intercourse, but the benefit derived from an exchange of thought upon. an industry that will eventually make our lands worth a hundred dollars or more an acre. To the east and south of us is land selling for that price or more, but if corn growing was eliminated from those farms for a few short years, they could not get any more than we can for our land. There is no good reason why our land is not worth at least a hundred dollars, as in Minnesota and Iowa, except that we are not growing corn as extensively as those stat re. When this county is growing the same pro- Portion of corn as those states, we may expect to have @ price equal to their price. , We grow every other crop equally as well, but we are short on corn growing which is so essential in getting highly diversified farming, Without diversified farm- ing we cannot expect our land to become high priced. A one-crop farm foes not give the returns that justifies a high prize. So we are having a corn show to make the iniual move toward a hundred dollars an acre for our land, This Linton corn show is the first of its kind in Lin- ton, but not the first in the county, as other parts of the county held shows last year and Emmons county won @ coveted cup at the State Corn Show at Bismarck. It will be kept here if our farmers will take the proper ar ant of interest to make these local county shows a re:1 success. Take some time in making your selec- fons and vet your best corn, so that the best exhibited in the county will be found at the state show to com- nete against other counties. Linton promises to make the rroper arrangements for the display here, and hone that our good corn farmers wil] do there part in a first 9 toward making our land here in Emmons county for a hundred dollars per acre. When the writer first came to this county about forty year: ago, the corn that was raised here usually 2 high as the patch on his overalls, but not much and as .

It Promises to Be a Prize-Winning Catch | BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Oct. 15.—Senator J. Boomboom McWhorter, friend of the people and champion of their rights every four years, has thrown him- self into the presidentiol campaign and is busily engaged in organizing loover glee clubs. Forced to employ his inventive genius along with his artistic tal- ents the brand-new set of Hoover aetrs songs. He explains, himself, that he found a menacing shortage of Hoo- ver songs. He found, in fact, only one and invariably noticed that as soon as one of his glee clubs had sung that one over a half dozen times, the members began to dribble away to their homes. On the other hand, the Al Smith people had a lot of songs about their candidate and could whole evening. . * There are those at Republican headquarters who whisper that what broke up the glee club fests was the fact that Senator McWhorter al- ways insisted on joining in the sing- ing himself, but there are two schools of thought concerning the senator’s part in the campaign. Chairman Work contended that anything was preferable to having McWhorter sing for the cause and that it would be better to have him speak, since he insisted on lung work. But Mr. Hoover decided that MeWhorter’s singing would be the least of two afflictions. He reasoned that no one would ever stick around while McWhorter was talking, but. that his voice might draw crowds and that the best interests of the party demanded the senator be kept singing. * # Nevertheless, there is no denying that McWhorter’s Hoover songs are as good as any of the Smith songs. and tower above the numer- ous songs made up for vice-presi- dential candidates at Houston and Kansas City.

The most uninhabited portions of the world are those dry and rocky places where the least water exists in an available form, such as the great deserts of the world—the Sa- hara of Africa, the Gobi of Mon- golia, and the Mojave and middle western deserts of the United States. On these arid lands, parched by the glaring sun of countless centuries, no ye will gro The first jelly-like beginnings of organic life, both vegetable and ani- mal, came from the sea, and per- ished whenever they were cast upon dry land; and from the Palaeozoic jungles to the present time, organic life has been changed and controlled a the varying balance between the elements of water and sunlight. Life had to remain near the shores of beaches and shallows. ,, No creature can breathe or digest its food without water. Water-liv- ing creatures wave their freely ex- posed gills by which they extract their oxygen from ‘the water. Every plant and animal that escaped from the sea had to develop a tough outer coat around its breathing apparatus to retain its moisture, and the verte- brate animals developed their lungs encased within their bodies. Even the lungs are somewhat on the prin. ciple of gills, since the oxygen of the air is absorbed by the moisture | ba of the lungs before it can reach the blood. Many. of the lower forms of life are born and live in water. Some, such as the amphibians, come forth and live upon the land. The frog | ft lays its eggs within the water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles. The tad- poles develop legs and lungs go that the frog can live and walk on the-.| land. All animals living in sunlight and air must have a protective skin to regulate and retain ‘their moisture that they will not dry up. A higher form of life than the am- phibian, the reptile, has its life be- ginning in eggs on land, but the egg is principally water, and is sur- rounded by a hard shell that pre- vents evaporfté ee moisture until the egg is atched, The highest form of life that has developed on the planet is the mam- mal, a form where the egg is re- tained and protected within the body of the mother until it has developed into a miniature adult.

Xs QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: J. L.G. asks: “Will you please explain how bacteria can Produce disease if the fault is really . as re say caused by our bad habits of living Answer: Bacteria are microscopic fungous growths and are really of vegetable origin. They grow in much the same way as yeast cells or mold. They increase in numbers by dividing so that they actually “mul- tiply by dividing.” Bacteria cannot grow except in suitable soil, and the Person with bad habits provides this soil usually on some of the mucous membranes, such as in the nose and throat. Bacteria grow rapidly and often pee Poisons of their own, some being more violent than oth- ers. There are good bacteria and bad ones, but each must have suit- able soil for growth. Bad habits cultivate the growth of the injurious icteria, while habits promote the growth of the friendly bacteria. Question: Mrs. A. N. writes: “My husband is troubled with ecze: always eats oatmeal for his break- fast, and I have heard that it is bad or eczema.
