Kresge Bidg (Official City, State and County Newspaper) AIDING THE FARMER A plea for a relationship between the city and coun- pees, at Miles City, Montana. Mr. Hall was raised on a farm , north of Bismarck and he and Worth Lumry, of the Will| seed house, were roommates at the Agricultural college. | Hall has become one of the big men of the Milwaukee. | He has a wide grasp of the agricultural situation, both on the producing side and in the economic aspects of the farm problem. The article is entitled “How the business man can work with the farmer.” He opens it with the attitude of the magazine that “it is interested in the farmer asj{ @ business man.” : Mr. Hall appeals for a practical attitude of the city toward the farmer. He must not be regarded as not chambers of commerce, railroads and manufacturing con- | In order that there shall be a mutually satisfactory He ANC aN eR leges conducted by an advisory board of successful, } thinking farmers of the state.

How can the farmers work out their own problems? ; asks Mr. Hall. How can they be interested in thinking out the solution of the intricate problems which they face? He answers: “It is done by encouraging the farmer to think for himself and have confidence in his own ability as a business man.” | every lightiy touched their incomes, if it has tolled them at all, without embarrassing the government's finances. It is not a new principle that the treasury has adopted. GROPING FOR FREEDOM Every government learns that the successful tax is one that is more profitable to pay than to evade.

With this freedom we are enabled to serve, not ourselves, but others. Thus, eventually, we learn how it is that he that is master of his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city. We discover the value of self-sacrifice. And— strangely enough—we get a new kind of freedom that we had pot dreamed of before. OUR MASS PRODUCTION An English business man, returning to his native shores after a visit to the United States, expressed him- self thus about our system of mass production and in- stallment buying: “The people (of the United States) are spending their earnings in advance and must go on earning. But The question of promises has come up. Is it right or wrong to compel a child to make a promise? Now, I believe that the first re- action of thoughtful people to this question will be that it is wrong. If we are going to live by the new doc- trine of allowing a child greater li- berty of action and freedom of choice, why make an inconsistent reserva- tion? It would seem, according to this argument, to strike at the very root of initiative and self-confidence. A Promise is a wall, a prison, a ball- and-chain! “To compel a child to make a promise,” say some of the new behaviorists, “is like compelling a man to buy an article for which he may not be able to pay.” “If a child makes a promise yol- untarily—announces of his. own free }, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE All It Takes Is a Bit of Mind Over Matter! 4 a ca} WHERE BALMY SS BREEZES BOW, is ALLAVINTER IN, T know of. man who can keep a promise!” What finer eulogy can one have? 1673—King Charles II gave Virginia 1781—Bangor, Maine, incorporated. 1783—Denmark recognized the United 1785—John Adams appointed first 1862—Union forces occupied Nashville, 1863—National Bank law signed. 1912—Ex-President Roosevelt x a HAVE NOTHING Sv Ano Fis / “THE GULF CCAST i The mummy of King Solomon's favorite wife has been found, they say.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1929 | TREATING MINOR INJURIES It becomes the duty of a mother to render first ald in almost z plan to coddle the child too much, or to over-emphasize the importance of small injuries. It is usually a better plan to compli- ment the child upon his bravery than to sympathize for the hurt. Children seldom cut themselves deeply enough to require the wound be sewed by a doctor. Every cut ould be thoroughly washed and cleansed with sterile water and the edges of the cut should be pulled to- gether by narrow strips of adhesive plaster placed crosswise. Cut the plaster into strips about one-fourth of an inch wide and one inch long. Place half of the strip at right angles to the cut, drawing the edges of the cut to- gether and firmly the re- maining half of the plaster to the other side. Several of these small strips may be used if necessary. If used in this way, the edges of the cut are healed closely together, and there will be less scarring afterwards and not as much as if the cut has been drawn together and several stitches taken. One should be careful not to cover the entire cut with one large piece of adhesive tape, since opening must be permitted for drainage of the wound. One should use clean sterile gauze bandages over the esive tape to keep out dirt and t the cut from further injury. Burns should be thoroughly washed with sterile water and then given ap- plications of vaseline or any good burn salve. ‘ Never use iodine on a burn. I give this warning, as many mothers make this mistake. Blisters should not be pricked until at least three or four days have elapsed after the burn. By keeping the burned area covers by carron oil, the air is excluded and the skin underneath heals more rap- | idly and without as much scarring. If the pain is severe, the entire burned area may be immersed under very cold water to which ice may be added as an additional relief. If the part cannot readily be placed under water, cool, wet compresses may be applied. There is no danger cf driv- ing the heat in further. The cold of the water really absorbs the heat from the hot tissues and prevents a greater penetration of the burn. As They protested to the board of re- gents. Iban hold first aid cabinet. This should at least contain a fresh roll of ad- hesive plaster, a jar of plain vaseline, @ tube of good burn salve, a bottle o! carron oil, sterile cotton rolls, and large quantity of sterile gauze band: ages. By having these in a con- venient spot, you will be prepared for the almost unavoidable minor emer- gencies. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: June M. asks: “Would pyorrhea cause redness and twitching of the eyes and numbness of the nose? Is there any cure for pyorrhea with- out having the teeth extracted?” Answer: The poisoning from Pyorrhea may produce the symptoms you have described. It is possible to bring about a complete cure of pyorrhea at certain stages, but you must go to a dentist who is a spe- cialist in this line of treatment and who will treat the teeth and for over a period of several months, At the same time your diet must be well balanced to avoid acidosis and over-acidity of the stomach, which is doubtless a fundamental cause in addition to the pyorrhea infection. Wholewheat Mush Question: Mrs. C. D. T. asks: “Where can one buy the wholewheat mush that you mention from time to time in your weekly menus? Also the wholewheat spaghetti? I have inquired all over town and no one has ever heard of it.” Answer: You can buy the cleaned wheat from any health food store and even from a feed and grain store. Wholewheat spaghetti is sold in many stores. I do not recommend any special brands of food articles in this column, but I will be glad to send you the names of cer- tain stores handling these products if you will send me your name and an Bump on Forehead Question: F. B. writes: “I have a large bump on the upper right of my forehead. Please explain what this is, as it has been there for a long time.” Answer: It is impossible to diag- nose your case through this column. Go to a good physict.“a, one who uses the X-ray. I am sure you will have no difficulty in finding some physi- cian who can properly diagnose your condition and tell you the cause of the bump on your forehead. tion?

An unfair position!” Promises Overdone I agree very heartily with this argument. I think children are “promised” to death. “Promise me, John! Promise me, Mary!” It is a confession of weakness somewhere. It is like building a poor wall and then trying to tie together its weak places. If John and Mary were brought up on right ideas, all other things being equal, there would be little need for Promises. But here, as in other ethical ques- tions, there is no black and white— no “yes” and “no.” . We cannot draw @ decided line. It would be foolish to say flatly, “There should be abso- lutely no promises where children are which read “My Beloved Wife” are as numerous as the myrtle vines which make glossy the graves. And small town gossip knows that the bigger the stone and the more deeply carved the euology of appreciation and af- rice: the more remorse goes into It would Le interesting to know just how King Solomon regarded his Moti Haris in life, even if he did give her @ swell funeral. no * PRESIDENT LITTLE IT may be unfair to argue that a dissenter who can’t agree with the mass of people and who sticks to his guns no matter how the battle of op- Position rages about him is almost in- posal right and very much worth while, But nevertheless I do wonder thus in the matter of the resignation of, Dr. Clarence Little from the Univer- sity of . Dr. Little pre- ferred to lose his job rather than pen? Installments would be lacking, and goods in va- rious stages of wear and tear would be returned to the makers, or bad debts incurred, and the finance com- panies who hold the notes would lose much more than the fraction of one per cent they are losing in that way now.” There is no question but that our present economic system is geared to a high speed. If it should suddenly be slowed down the consequences, indubitably, would be serious. Whether they would be as bad as this English- man believes may be an open question; the matter, at all events, is one that deserves serious study by the most competent minds in the country. sincere and so practical that to those who experience it to talk about it will become second nature? The Department of Commerce has just issued a 214-page bulletin on the habits of certain sciaenids of the sea. Maybe it won't be so hard for you to pay your income tax after you've heard that one. * * & President Coolidge, during his ad- ministration, has posed with 957 dele- gations on the white house grounds.

DOROTHY RUTH Just why the great clamoring pub- lic should know whether nine-year- old Dorothy Ruth is an own or an adopted daughter of Babe Ruth and j his late wife isn’t very obvious, and: there seems no other reason than the public's insistence on knowing, for any investigation on the subject. If the Ruths wished to adopt a child or have it on a loan and make themselves and the child believe that it was their own, that attitude is un- derstandable and legitimate. To in- sist on knowing just who little Dor- othy is, if her real or foster parents |, Prefer not to tell, is as snoopy as ence leaders are chosen in each, and then the 750 or more farmers assembled proceed to think out the Problems on their mind. The county agricultural agent and the agricultural “high school men, when directed by the best farmers in the county, are the most effective agencies for helping the agricultural interests of any territory, says Mr. Hall. The real farmer must be relied on more to speak for agriculture, he adds. “We hear too much from the Politican and would-be farm leader.” He concludes: “Those of us who are not farmers can cooperate with him, but let us remember he knows his business better than we do and is fast working out plans and adapting his farm management to meet the changing conditions. It is up to the rest of us to manage our business as well as the American farmer is managing his.” A REMINDER OF TRAGEDY To be or not to be, is a question put more persistently than dramatically by Ford's theater, scene of the shoot- bn ne egg A subcommittee of the National Crime Commission has recommended abolition of county jails.
