Wah (Official City, State and Coun’y Newspaper) rat a nn nee LESSEE HEALTHY WHEAT ACREAGE CUT North Dakota wheat acreage will be 25 per cent under that of last year, according to the government statistical report put out recently. Part of this reduction was due to the condition of the soil hampering seeding last fall and part of it to farmers reducing the amount of spring wheat seeding in favor of other crops. In view of the wheat situation, with a huge surplus of 350,000,000 bushels still on hand from last season's har- Vest and a 900,000,000-bushe! crop predicted for this year, the state's farmers need not worry over that little reduc- tion of wheat acreage. The surplus that the nation will find on its hands is far too great as it is. Wheat growers who have reduced probably will find the decrease in acreage was wise, particularly those who put in flax instead. Flax should have a good year. With the increase of the duty on flaxseed which President Hoover authorized under the flexible provisions of the tariff law, farmers who raise flax should benefit. This country does not raise a sufficiency of this crop to supply the home demand for its seed. The result is a large im- portation of flaxseed from other flax-growing lands. Cheaper overhead in raising the seed abroad, due to cheaper labor, heretofore has operated adversely against the Northwest growers in competing for the home flax- seed market against this foreign supply. Now with an in- creased duty on the side of the American growers, the disadvantage should be offset to that extent for the American grower. North Dakota farmers foreseeing something of this kind, on the advice of the Greater association, this year have increased their flax seeding. As a McKenzie farmer said the other day in a call on County Agent Miesen, “It’s about time the farmers supplied some of their own relief in this farm situation, instead of looking to poli- ticians to supply it.” This increase in flax acreage thus indicates that farmers are getting wise and realize the futility of expecting politics to cure their troubles. It is a sign of progress. It is, in fact, a sign of growing diversification and that really is the progress in agriculture that this state is making. The folly of growing surpluses to reduce prices by their drag on the entire production has sunk home. In its place has come the system of producing against the home shortage, meeting the greater demand for certain products with increasing production, under the fostering care of the protective tariff. The decreased wheat acreage in this state may, there- fore, be regarded as the natural effect of the growing di- versification in North Dakota, where cattle, hogs, sheep, wool, dairy products and poultry are undermining the dominance of wheat as the great staple of the state. RIOT SOMETIMES GOOD SIGN It is never pleasant to read about dissension and vio- lence at a college or university. Affairs like the recent riot at Des Moines university, which caused the temporary closing of the institution, are tragic. Whatever lay behind the outbreak, the fact that police had to be called to restrain the turbulent students is extremely distressing. Such a flying off the handle by young men of college age indicates a tremendous waste of energy. Yet the whole thing is not quite as disturbing a sign fs might be supposed. Newspaper accounts of the trouble have not quite made the exact cause clear. It is evident, however, that the students were deeply concerned over some real or fancied ‘wrong—concerned enough to throw things and defy the Now this is a thing that does not often happen in American colleges. ‘Indeed, the chief complaint against the average Ameri- can collegian is that he is too easy-going. He is almost always content with things as he finds them. The col- lege and university are not, in this country, turbulent Places, centers of heated discussion, starting-places for new movements. Football and the round of social activi- ties are too apt to absorb all of the time and energy that . the student can spare from his studies. In other countries it is different. Political upheavals are often launched at universities. Students are much less easy to satisfy; they keep abreast of the issues of the day, anc occasionally get quite fractious in their dis- cussion of them. Youth is expected to be that way—super-energetic, in- tense, poorly-balanced, given to noisy upheavals. Quix- otic deeds and lost causes are things that belong to youth. Older heads seldom see any virtue in them. So it is that the placidity of our university undergrad- uates has been an ominous sign. It has hinted at a sort of sleepy self-satisfaction on the part of the nation as whole; a preoccupation in unimportant things that holds ‘no good augury for the future. It may be that it is only a deceiving surface indication. Sudden outbursts like this at Des Moines make it seem that way, at any rate. And that—the mere fact that American students can get so passionately excited about some issue not connected with athletics or school rivalry that ‘they will riot and behave liké rowdies—is an encour- aging sign. Young men who fly off the handle, throw things, jeer THE BISMARCK, TRIBUNE | ___The Yanks Are Coming? | present, are always worried about the future. Business | men are always peering into the future and are always disturbed if they cannot clearly foresee the course of events far ahead. Just now the future does hold forth some uncertainties. There is no telling what congress will do in the way of farm relief and tariff revision. Food prices are low now, which means a bumper crop this year would throw the farmers back where they were five years ago. Another uncertainty ts the credit situation, which is complicated [by the conflicting purposes of the speculative world and the administrators of the federal reserve system. Worry always accompanies speculation, so the inflated market values, and not future prosperity, may be the provocation for what pessimisin exists. will then have her mind placed upon HYSTERICAL ATTACKS AND PA- RALYSIS The strangest thing about hyster- ical attacks is the subject’s power to imitate any form of organic paralysis and a number of other diseases. This fact frequently leads to a confusion of diagnosis, as a physician may be mis- led into thinking that a hysterical Patient is suffering from some serious or unusual disease. While this affection is most com- mon in women, men are by no means exempt. ‘It occurs most frequently in individuals who can trace their an- cestry from the Latin races. This simply indicates that nervous, high- ane individuals are most suscep- le. Hysteria has been termed a disease by suggestion, and capable of being cured by persuasion. Among the variety of forms which this dis- ease may take are convulsions, and Pseudo-epilepsy. It may even become epidemic in nature, as sometimes oc- curred during the old religious re- vivals. when the susceptible subject burst forth “speaking in tongues,” or dancing wildly. A different type of hysteria may resemble any form of Paralysis, sometimes continuing over ® period of many years, but it may suddenly disappear under some im- pressive suggestion, as if by a miracle. The patient may also lose all feeling or sensation in some part of his body, or the opposite may happen and an increased sensitiveness and even pain may occur in various parts. Neuralgia is frequent. Actual blindness or deaf- ness may occur without any lesion, either of the eyes or ears, and a cure of these cases may take place with magical rapidity. . Digestive disorders, diarrhea and flatulence are common, and some- times accompanied by vomiting, hic- coughing or belching. Fluttering of the heart, flushing and sweating may also occur. The joints may become tender and swollen. Actual hemor- rhages may occur,in the skin. There may be puffiness of the face, or even fever, sometimes apparently 112 or 120 degrees. The patient's tempera- | many do‘ ture is not really as high as the ther- mometer will sometimes indicate, be- cause the patients will sometimes be 80 morbidly affected with a desire for sympathy that they will use artificial means to cause the temperature, on the thermometer to register unusually high.

Others refuse to walk under lad- ders or to continue on a course crossed by a black cat. Still others play the stock market. The other day there was a decided break in the market, attributed to rumors of the early resignation of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Another rumor which upset the great minds on Wall Street was to the effect that Presiden: Hoover was preparing a statement approving the efforts of the federal reserve board to curb specula- tion. : After the break was a few hours old and after a little sober reflection on the part of the men with seats on the New York stock exchange which cost them in the neigh- borhood of a half-million dollars, Wall Street expressed surprise at itself for allowing a stream of uncorroborated gossip to send the market on a headlong plunge. Is it because the layman is less learned in the mysteries of high finance that he cannot understand how even s0 appalling @ catastrophe as the retirement of the great- est secretary of the treasury since Hamilton would take a dollar from the value of securities, nor see the probability of the president involving himself in a quarrel between the bulls and the bears of Wall Street? And yet their improbability did not occur to the wise men of Gotham until after “sober reflection.” After some sober reflection the small investor may de- cide it somewhat of a risk to place his money at the dis- posal of a group which jumps in wild alarm at rumors which, if true, would not directly affect the stock mar- ket. | le i 8, BS9SR 38 s Did you take Cleansing diet which I last month? If not, REPRESSED DESIRES The great stimulator is‘many wants. A burning want will generate the energy for its satisfaction, provided the habit is formed of gratifying the want as soon as the means are available. If, after the means are in hand, |’ the want is repressed, the spirit slowly loses interest, like a child who is promised candy for good behavior and is given nothing. One of the modern writers says that when he promises himself anything he always keeps his promise, and some- times he rewards himself a few days or weeks ahead of schedule. To return to the simile of children, every par- ent knows how pleased children are when they are given little extra measure. Possibly adults should handle themselves the same way. There are many men and women who for years have been promising themselves the gratification of some long- felt want, only to deny themselves it once it is within their reach. They do themselves a great injustice and a greater harm. The next time they will not work so hard for fear of another disappointment. The moral of this preachment is that all who have Promised themselves that long-anticipated motor tour or vacation should postpone it no longer. take as to include sex in his plan for the world. They never actually complained about. it. After all, they realized that when he made the world in six days he necessarily did a hurry-up Job and had to make a few slips. That sexual business was one of them. But as for them, they'd just ignore his faux pas, pretend it never happened, and if other people would only do the writer.
