(Official City, State and County Newspaper) FLAX AND NORTH DAKOTA Agricultural experts have been convinced by the showing made at the International Hay and Grain show at. Chicago that the time. has come for North Dakota to restore flax to its former prestige as a crop in this state. They hold that the state is peculiarly adapted to raising this crop, and the fact that H. A. Nelson and H. Ludeman took the sweepstakes prize at the show, on seed grown on the Ludeman farm south of Fargo, while Edward J. Olson, of Hannaford, took Becond prize, attests to the quality of Dakota flax, The agricultural experts, therefore, consider the efforts of the Greater North Dakota association well directed in offering prizes to stimulate farmers to re- + )newed:growing of flax, Statistics show that the pro= ‘aluction of this crop has been declining for a number , of ;years., At,the.same.time, Montana production has . Been increasing. Tom Campbell,’the million-dollar farmer near Hardin, Montana, alone grows 8000 to } 10,000 acres annually and ships the seed in a solid “© train of 18 cars usually, Minnesota has held a leading » Place in growing flax for its seed. In fact, the finest flax in the world is grown in the Northwest. The seed goes into the manufacture of _ Tingeed oil. Some day the fibre will cease to be waste material out here and a great linen. industry is possible ~ of establishment. The Rev. Frank B. Gigliotti, of the + Mpthodist college of Rome, who has settled near Terry, E tana, to ranch—he was a former Montana cow and -_- {sheep hand as a youth—is now working on plans to «make the by-product, the fibre, the basis of a linen : industry over there, saying the climate is perfectly fitted for it, : There is, however, a drawback to the flax industry, as the foreign grower operates at lower costs of pro- ductiofi and this is held a distinct disadvantage to the American flax producers. Here is a situation toward which congress is well in the mood to remedy as part of its program of farm relief, In fact, if tariff changes had been able to get the farmer out of the slough in which he has been since the deflation following the war, ;, the trick would have been turned long ago and equal- ization plans would not have been the issue they. were. * through two sessions of-congress. Tariff is a tried remedy which has scored many successes, It ought to be able to help the flax growers and it should not be « difficult to obtain, Sentiment has begun to develop for going before , congress and asking an increase in the duty on flax. This is something for commerce associations to take up and give some action, Civic associations which are able to see the matter in that light also should make this desire potent among the lawmakers at Washington, Tariff encouragement, however, is a matter of gen- eral Northwestern concern and, aside from it, there still remains state encouragement to be extended. The, Greater North Dakota association has taken this in hand and probably will consider it wise to continue jsubsidies in the form of prizes to stimulate the farmers ~ ‘of the state to extend their flax acreage, Speaking for a system of encouraging prizes to Promote a better grain showing for this state at the International show, James S. Milloy, executive secretary of the Greater .. North Dakota association, which gave $1000 to the top ‘winner in the flax exhibit, said of flax: ; “North Dakota’s flax acreage has been declining for ¢ years. Yet, flax has always been an important crop. |\We believe that if given the increased tariff protection = | We are now fighting for at Washington, and with better quality flax to increase our production Per acre, we +*. \can bring this. great and important cash crop back. ; This is in line with: what we are doing to get more profit from our grain crops by developing higher qual- ity production.” So peat | REMOVING THE INCENTIVE A step calculated to remedy the recognized evil of , expert testimony”. will have been taken if the legis- lature enacts. into law the recommendations of New Jersey legal experts. A suggested bill provides that \expert witnesses shall be appointed by. the court, which {shall set the compensation and that it shall be con- \tempt of court for any such witness to accept remun- leration except that fixed by the court, : |. There is a general feeling that some such practice as ‘this must be made universal in order to check present conditions, Few cases are tried without the aid of expert witnesses, The only essential is that the 1i gants shall be financially able to pay for their services, ‘The public has on several occasions been treated to spectacles in which all of the expert witnesses on one side disagreed directly with those retained by the op- posing side, even when they started from the same premises toward their conclusions, There is, of course, always the Possibility of honest disagreement. It is hard apparently. for professional men to see eye to eye. The more knowledge of a sub- Ject some mér possess-the more likely it is that they will reach independent ground. This cannot always be the case, however. ‘the capacity of expert witnesses in court. Present con- " ditions have led to the conclusion that expert testimony other modern as.

Human nature is so varied in its pre- dilection that there is never any danger of a bitter struggle for the soft place in life. Just as there are extremes in sport between the pugilist and the polo- "99 | Player, the billiardist and the footballer, so there are extremes in the field of labor, but the distance between sports and labor is measured by the poles, when the mental attitude is viewed. One reason for the differ- ence is that in sports each contestant strives by fair play to excel, while in the field of labor—well, too often fair rivalry is absent. Another and possibly the great- est difference is that in sports the contestant selects his field and, if he is ambitious, trains for championship therein, while in essential work it is often a haphazard matter of selection and indifference to results, The world is making progress, however, Science has devised means for measuring the capabilities of youth among the varied fields of endeavor, and vocational schoqls are making selection and training for life a matter of more concern than was the case in our fathers’ days. A few old-fashioned folk may deplore the frills and frivolities of youth and declare that there is too much coddling of the latter, but the fruits of the new system will be seen in better citizenship a score or so of years hence, THE CHRISTMAS TREE The season in which one’s thoughts turn to Christmas trees is just about upon us. And so much has been written about forest conservation recently that many people feel that cutting down young fir trees for Christ- mas constitutes a needless drain upon our fore: Such fears, however, are ungrounded. This comes on the authority of no less a person than Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree Associa- tion, and a last-ditch defender of our forests if ever there was one. The type of tree used for Christmas, says Pack, would not be worth a great deal even if it were allowed to mature in its native setting. In addition, an ever- increasing proportion of Christmas trees comes from private forests that are restocked yearly, so that the | That’s His Weakness Now! THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE “HO HUML-- | DONT FEEL ANY * MORE LIKE WORKING THAN FLYING!--- Oe 7m Geel Tati H -- | GUESS tL LEAVE THE HEAVY WORK FOR THE NEW MAN!---- Editorial MULDUON LEAVES US FLAT (Milwaukee Journal) When Mr. Hoover was elected, Joseph Muldoon of New York took the train for Canada, leaving his coun- try never to return, he says. “I cannot understand how so-called intelligent people could elect Hoover when a man of Smith’s caliber was running,” he explains. On such a country he turns his back. Others have done this. There is fortunately no that a man must re- main who feels he will be happier elsewhere. America has been peopled by those who thought they could do better here than in the lands-of their. birth, though happily for America most of them have not been dis- gusted with their homelands. Mr. Muldoon will travel and then settle in the south of France. We remember that many thousands of Americans who had visited France for periods ranging from a month to two years, did not wish to settle there. But they did not rate their country’s intelligence so low as Mr. Muldoon does. True, it had paid them at much lower rate than it has rewarded Mr. Muldoon. It may be we spoil some of our citizens. And then we read another item. One-half the ashes of “Big Bill” Haywood, I. W. W., Communist, labor agitator, have come back to Chicago for buri It was Haywood’s wish. Half his ashes to be buried in Russia which had given him asylum during his last years; one- half to the country that once was his. There was a reason why Haywood should not return to America. He owed the law of his country some amends ‘for the kind of citizen he had been. But his last gesture makes plain which way his heart was turning. Mr. Muldoon may come back if he will. It may come to him in time that, disgusted though he is with the “intelligence” of Americans, they are at least a people who do not quit when things do not go their way, THE SENTIMENTALISTS WIN (Louisville Courier-Journal) Rough, hardy sentimentalists among the old cattle- men of the West persisted until they prevailed upon the government to preserve a remnant of the longhorn herds that once roamed the plains, and then didn’t desist until they had found the remnant. Twenty cows, three bulls and a few steers have been collected in Texas and shipped to the Wichita forest reserve. ; The steers develop the longest horns and specitnens were incluaed to show tourists what they can do. The search was long and discouraging. Horns, heavy boues and long, fleet legs were vital possessions for existence on the illimtable ranges infested with pred- atory animals; but beef is what the market demands, and long sinee the gentle Hereford supplanted his wild Predecessor throughout the West. Following rumors, riders scoured the prickly pear country along the lower Rio Grande from Laredo to Corpus Christi and found a bull surviving with a bunch of cows. The Northern prairie, whose horizons lifted over hundreds of miles dotted with pine groves inter- yi with mesquite, yielded the other two bulls. So a had the progenitors of the future herd, he bureau of forestry intends to maintain a herd of about 250. There is no fear now of the breed’s be- coming extinct. The: animals introduced to the c tinent by Spaniards ut Vera Cruz in 1521 found cont tions exactly to their liking. They bred prolifically without attention and spread so fast from the Rio Grande to the Canadian border that they share re- sponsibility with the white man in driving the buffalo ; and the Indians from the plai . The historic importance of the longhorns in the win- ning of the West entitles them to the same consider- ation that was given the buffalo, es, THE BAKED BEAN OF TRADITION (Christian Science Monitor) ‘ Attempts are being made to explode the long-cher- ished tradition that baked beans originated among the Pilgrims in the early days of New England.

MOTOR ATAXIA (Continued from yesterday) long time and is a chronic type, it is with a prolonged fast,“using nothii but orange or grapefruit juice an water for several weeks. Unless you are under the supervision of some- one who understands the fasting method, it is usually advisable to take shorter fasts’ of from seven to ten days at intervals of about. one th apart. During this time ene- ld be taken twice daily, and ould be hot applications over the entire spinal region. deep therapy lamp is most satisfactory for this purpose, but even hot towels would be helpful. Following the hot applications a cold shower over the entire body should be employed. After several weeks of the orange juice fast or after repeating the fast at intervals, a milk diet should be employed and continued for several weeks or even months. As improve- ment is noticed the regular diet out- lined in my weekly articles in the newspapers may be substituted. It is also necessary to employ massage and exercise of the affected: parts of the body. ‘The use of sinusoidal electrical treatments, apy ying’ one pole to the affected muscles and the other pole at various points over the spinal column, is helpful in stimu- lating and reviving the nervous system, and is especially useful after the orange juice regime. During the entire process of diet~ ing it is advisable to drink quantities of distilled water, especially: between the feeding periods. : The patient is first taught by: per- sistent and repeated efforts to use his lower limbs by performing simple movements which finally become more complicated until the patient is able to talk without perceptible difficulty other than keeping thé toes in plain view of his eyes. A considerable amount of apparatus is used, such as hanging rings, .paral- lel bars, etc, Various , designs are’ painted. on the. floor, or on specially prepared. oil clath or linoleum, By tracing these designs with his toes the patient learns to control his leg movements.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sleepy After Eating Question: Mrs. C. C. writes: “My husband works long hours in a store. He eats his heartiest meal at the noon hour.. He wants to sleep for three-quarters to an hour. afterward. He doesn’t have muc out-door exercise, Is this sleep necessary ?” Answer: Your husband is eating too much at his noon meal if he feels sleepy afterwards. It is gen- erally better to eat a small meal at noon and never advisable to eat such a large quantity of food at any meal in the day which will produce sleepiness, Bread and Milk Combination : bid le There is a method of re-educating Question: 0.
