CHICAGO NEW YORK (Official City, State and County Newspaper) BOSTON Bigger and Better Corn Show Looms With the cori rop hard hit by the time, the harvesting being under w coming state Corn show here and to p quate display. The show necd not abate in the lea he prestige i won in the past, in spite of the ef of the dz Corn authorities in the seed business and in the cultural extension service are agreed that there grown this summer and fall in this state some very splendid ccreages of that grain. | In fact, some of the corn has appeared in cd displays in store windows here, and it is of a high quality, ‘The cobs are large and well filled, while the grains are ; full and golden. If it is found that some of the crop has ccteriorated fvom the effects of the dry spell, it will be weil t e | the sources of the well matured corn and conserve it for | a seed supply. This can be done through the medium of | the Corn show. Growers who have had a successful crop | year should prepare to meet this possible demand throughout the state next spring. All this can be de- termined at the show, which is to open here November 9. sea The seed situation in general will merit the attention | 500 of the show management, and it would be wise to feature it. Aside from the circumstance it grea ntion to seeds will strengthen the show, this sur ditions in the state may mak certified seed supplies be cm! | ‘The shew should operate to acquaint with sources of | eupplies the farmers who may necd various types of seed “next spring, with quality and with a maximum of prices | ~ that may be justified by the raiio between supply and | need. | The extension service is at the command of the show | and should be utilized amply in presenting the seed sit- uation in all its aspects. Next week a committee of the A: merce will be at Mitchell, S. D., wher: ecale state corn show has been cond with shining | suceecs. If the South Dakotans hive any cdze on Bis- | marek in features of real value to a show ef this there is every reason for tie committee to come bs apply these in the form of innova 2. ociation of Com- ¢ for years a large- to have the same flattering show, with its educational and inform: features unim) anded rather —as in the years past during which the exposition has ~teen conducted here. A Grand Old Man Passes A mellow personality of that type which it is the wont to venerate in the term.of “grand oid man” this or ti passed in the death, Wednesday, at Minneapolis of Wil- liam Watts Folwell, first president of the University of Minnesota, at the unusual age of 96. Governor Christianson dubbed him the “grand old man” of Minnesota. He was, however, more then that, “*he-was the “grand old man” of the entire Northwest. William Watts Folwell lived a very useful and interest+ ing life. He saw service in the Civil war and came cut with the brevet rank of licutenant colonel of a New York regiment, That was his first conspicuous service to his country. ‘The war ended, he cngaged in educational work and in 18€9.he started the present big university as its president, with a faculty of eight members and 14 students. The institutiog started on so modest a scale has since then Brown to 14,000 students and it occupies a place in the front rank of American universities. It is a monument to the genius of the man who nursed it into tence and had stood by as its helmsman until 1907, when, safely on the way to its present dignity and prominence, he re- signed his connection. Previously, in 1883, he had re- figned the presidency and had taken a professorship in Political science. Thousands of students sat at the fect of this learned and noble man in the years when he taught, ag his im- press is on the characters of many of the su ful and useful men of this great northwestern empire. Dr. Fol-} ‘well was one of those rare men who belong to the cate- gory of the late Dr. Charles Norton Eliot, of Harvard, of the late Dr. McCosh, of Princeton. He was a man who kept his spirit young as his body took on years, and one | of the finest tributes to him is the recognition that he kept abreast of progress at all times, so that, while he represented the traditions of a day that had passed, he also was a man of medern mind. | U.

If you want to sthen your faith in the race, read at boc!

Their worries are due to the recommendation which has been made to the interstate commerce commission by examiners ior that body who have conducted the famous Western Trunk Line investigation. The examin- |ers propose to abolish the system of making rates on freight handled in carloads from the great industrial ; section of the east to the northwest on a “combination basis.” They propose to substitute a system of mileage seales which would bring about a uniform adjustment in this section. Mr. Herman Mueller, traffic commissioner of the St. Paul Ascociation of Commerce, after a review of the proposals of the examiners which he sets forth in a con- fideniial bulletin to members of the association, makes this statement: “All of the westbound rates (from the territory east of Chicago) would be increased (to the Twin Cities and Duluth) and the relationship of the Twin Cities and Duluth, with the balance of Western Trunk Line territory changed to our dis- edvantage because such rates are now based on Chic2go ard Mississippi river combinations and unde: the proposals, would be measured by ex- actly ine same yardstick as the Twin Cities and Duluth.” Here you have stated, frankly and ‘boldly, the position of the Twin Cities and Duluth against which Fargo has been fightimg for years. All that Fargo has asked { of the Northwest is that the Nortnwest cities Cities be measured wed in making rates to ta elties have have at i a s # i & if fg i age 4 $ E é. i death in its most horrible form imaginable, time after | “Girls that puzzle you are more interesting than oth- | Thieves broke into the home of Thom the other day and stole some valuable jewelry and 480 pairs of silk stockings belonging to hii daughter. In case the world might wonder what any girl would do with that ; Many at one time, newspaper reports all added “Marceline (owner of the 480 pairs) was to be married soon.” It seems an adequate supply for a dozen brides. I know many girls who consider themselves lucky if they can have a half dozen pairs when they get married. This is just more evidence of the extravagance prevalent in this age of luxury in which we live. * «= * HIGH STANDARDS | Fifties would be a revelation to the average working girl. One store has a lively trade in $125 stockings. They are exquisite, cob-webby creations of fine mesh ‘ato which bits of rare old recipients of gifts of these stockings. But even for the bridal path, it seems a high price to pay. Another store carries garters for men that come $40 a pair, for they have fine platinum clasps. A wag could easily paraphrase a famous garter slogan to fit these by saying, “No one can touch the metal.” | An exclusive restaurant, popular | with the Four Hundred, has a palat- | able luncheon for $7.50 and serves a |regular $20 a plate dinner in the eve- ning. ek * THE OTHER SIDE Balance against this the thousands of girls working for $10 to $15 a week. The injustice strikes one. Yet, lif it is any consolation for the girls who work, the faces of the girls who buy $125 stockings do not indicate jthat they have found the bluebird of happiness in life. I saw a very rich girl in a shop one day viewing some gorgeous bridal gowns displayed by mannequins. She Jolled in her chair, held a cigarct aim- lessly in her fingers and did not like a single thing shown her. a most unpleasant frown, her mouth was petulant and her whole manner revealed infinite boredom. s Pendergast of Kansas City | ) Sibilities, privileges and uses of leisure.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1929 | A Hitch in the Program! — LAZY PARENTS (By Alice Judson Peale) We hear a good deal about lazy children, but lazy parents are seldom mentioned. Yet I am sure there are at least as many of the latter as there are of the former. To be sure, the laziness of parents is less obvious than the laziness of children. It masquerades in ever so many subtle and virtuous forms, In the realm of discipline and training it calls itself “nature's way” and “self- direction.” In the realm of manners it calls itself “freedom” and “sincer- ity.” Mrs. Roberts, for instance, proudly explains that she is teaching her three-year-old self reliance by allow- ing him to take his own bath. As a matter of fact permitting a three- year-old to take his bath without help or supervision is hardly teaching him much or anything; it is simply a splendid way of rationalizing the fact that one is too lazy to do a daily chore. A really conscienticus parent would give a three-year-old his bath ‘and little by little teach him to wash himself. Mrs. Elder is lazy in quite a differ- ent way. When her six-year-old daughter wants to “help” with the house cleaning she tells her to run and play. Mrs. Elder explains that she wants her little girl to have a carefree childhood—but the fact is that she does not want to be bothered to teach clumsy little hands the things they are so eager to learn. Do you not sometimes catch your- self being a lazy parent? Don't let yourself get away with it. Be sure that the rules you make, the things you permit and the things you forbid are really for your child’s good. You will be surprised to discover how often you exact obedience merely because it is convenient.

President Garfield had died the day previously, @ victim of an assassin’s bullet. The 2ist president was born at Fairfield, Vt., on Oct. 5, 1830, the son of Scotch-Irish parentage. He was graduated from Union College in 1848 and soon became conspicuous as an attorney in New York.

J. writes: “Pleas. tell me how many calories a day on: should get in his food. I am under weight and am trying to improve by cating. Is it injurious to take salts every night? What causes fever blisters when one does not seem to have fever, or cause for !t?” Answer: Dietitians who try to bal- ance patients’ diets through the cal- orie theory might say that you require between 2500 to 3600 calories a day, but the truth is you may be able tc get more nourishment and live bet- ter on 1000 calories daily, providing it is of the right quality. It is a bad habit to take salts every night. The so-called fever blisters are really caused by hyper-acidity of the stom- ach which is usually present when one has a fever; but, of course, thesc blisters may occur at any time from over-acidity when fevers are not present. Shingles Question: Mrs. H. asks: “Will you kindly explain in plain language the cause of shingles, the symptoms, and if there is a cure?” Answer: The name “shingles” is given to a disorder caused by the de- Posit of toxic substances along cer- tain nerve trunks. It always occurs on one side of the body at a time, ancl « is more frequently found on the ur- back or afound the ribs on cne side. The nerves are inflamed by the toxins, and the skin breaks out in a rash wherever the most irritation ex- ists. The cure is through diet, and no local treatments are very effec- tive. A fast taken at the onset of the disorder will hasten the cure, but even under this treatment it often takes a week or ten days for the crup- tion to disappear.
