CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Farmers to Gird for Another Year North Dakota farm forces will meet today at the Agricultural college, Fargo, to take inventory of what's on their minds as to the betterment and expansion of the state’s great industry, its agriculture. The annual Farm and Home week opens then. North Dakota agriculture is expanding year by year ‘as its efficiency increases and progress speeds up the course of its development. It is improving and growing in the face of difficulties and obstacles. The annual Farm and Home week is intended to review the gains made and exchange ideas as to minimizing the draw- backs the farmer encounters. With diversification as the settled policy of the state’s agriculture, the gathering at the college necessarily will ‘be of a group character. That. is the livestock breeders the wheat growers, the sheep men, each will flock sep- arately and the program will contain discussions bear- ing on their branch. As to livestock in general, nearly all farms now specialize in that either in the form of dairy or beef cattle, sheep and swine, so that the subject has a general appeal to the gathering. The beekeepers’ branch will put on a big separate program to such a stage of importance has the industry developed in North Dakota. Two other phases of the gathering stand out rather conspicuously over others, that dealing with pure seed and that of the farm home activities. The former is given emphasis by the campaign of the Greater North Dakota association to cut down or wipe out the heavy losses suffered by the state's grain growers by reason of smut and other parasitic ills of its grain. These lead to tremendous dockage losses, in marketing wheat espe- cially. The farm home activities appeal to the farm ‘women who attend the gathering. This has become such an important feature of the week that it ‘transcends other phases of the week's activities. ‘This major interest in the women’s side of the week is due to the annual practice of honoring five North Da- kota farm wives as homemakers. That will be done this year, as last. It is not exactly a coronation, as it takes on more the nature of a decoration. It is a stimulating Practice and it puts romance into the otherwise prosaic existence a woman leads out on the farm, with home and farm cares to burden her. The women who rise superior to these impediments to give valuable servic2 to the community causes and to create homes where in- telligence, morality and ordered management prevail are deserving of such recognition as the five selected for the designation this year will receive. North Dakota will go on for years solving its farm Problems, for as some are disposed of, other will arise Agriculture is in a state somewhat of flux, with federal efforts to set up orderly marketing for it and with drives at home to produce larger crops and of purer quality. Climatic conditions operate to render its results uneven, at times erratic. These conditions will continue to call for consideration until nature or man brings improve- ment, as possibly, forestation or water diversion might produce. This year, for instance, according to the Greater North Dakota association, farm production fell off $30,000,000 compared with 1928, due to lower yield of grain resulting from the unusual dry spell, the worst in the history of the state according to the weather bureau—as also in some other states and in overseas countries. There was an increase per acre in grains entering into the program of diversification and due to rotation of crops, such as oats and barley, and livestock: teturns were larger, but this may have been due to short- age of feed compelling wider marketing. The Farm and Home week conferences, therefore, will have many interesting topics to review and discuss. Out of these discussions and the contact of the leaders of the industry for several days should come a spirit of renewed enthusiasm and a determination that might be summed up in the inspirational term emblazoned on the banner which Longfellow’s youth bore mid snow and ice, “Excelsior!” Romance of Pioneering Although we are fond of calling ourselves a “youthful nation,” we are rapidly leaving our boisterous pioneer days far behind. We have, after all, just about reached maturity; and there are plenty of signs that we don't entirely like it. We clutch eagerly at all living reminders of the glamor- ous past. Our newspapers and magazines can always find Space to print the reminiscences of an old-timer who can remember “way back when.” The newspapers recently printed rather extended tales about the passing of A. Erskine Smith, who died the other day in Vancouver at the age of 63. He had ‘been an adventurer, and his life-story seemed like a fragment dropped down, almost, from some prehistoric era; yet his adventures, really, did not take Place so long ago. In the early ‘nineties Smith sought his fortune in the Australian gold fields. He made himself rich, lost his money, got rich again and became poor in turn once T we can. Whether they wound up rich or poor, they were winners. They sometimes starved and they were often flat broke, but their lives were never dull. Getting rich was not, really, their great goal; it was the fun that could be had along the way that drew them on. Our aim, on the other hand, is less attractive. We have forgotten what they knew; that the good life is not necessarily crowned with a bag of gold. e That, probably, is the chief reason why we look back on the past with such longing. We are more prosperous. than our fathers and grandfathers were, but we can’t help suspecting that we don’t enjoy ourselves as much as they did. Harvard Had a Hand in It A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard university, warns that college athletics, particularly football, are being made too spectacular, so that the games are be- coming spectacles rather than means of pleasant diver- sion. Probably he's quite right. Yet President Lowell might remind himself of one or two pertinent facts before he continues. all off—that led the way in building a large and costly stadium for its football games. In the second place, it was a Harvard coach—Percy Haughton—who did as much as any other coach to shape college football in the mold to which it now conforms. Haughton, for instance, was a great one to train a man for one special function, send him into the game for just one play and promptly replace him—a thing that would hardly be done if football were simply a pleasant diver- sion. Football has its faults as it now stands; but Harvard, as much as any institution, has made football what it is today. No More Gate Receipts Dr. Frank Parker Day, president of Union college, in New York, tells the National Collegiate Athletic associa- tion that the way to remove all suspicion of professional- ism from college football is for the colleges to stop mak- ing money on athletics—to do away with gate receipts and professional coaching. ; Dr. Day's suggestion, if adopted, would undoubtedly do away with most of the evils complained of by present- day football critics. But would it stop the evil of sub- sidizing? We doubt it. The college athlete gets subsidized usually, not by some- one who is thinking of gate receipts, but by some loyal alumnus who is willing to part with a few hundred dol- Even if there were no gate receipts or paid coaches, there probably would remain plenty of these enthusiastic grad- uates to keep the subsidizing evil a live question. Pershing’s Wise Decision General Pershing, refusing to be “drafted” as a Re- Publican senatorial candidate in Nebraska to oppose Senator Norris, shows once more his excellent sense. In 1920 Pershing sensibly refused to run for the presi- dency. It was a wise decision. His present decision is no less wise. The motive back of the frantic attempts that are being made to get Norris out of public life don’t reflect & great deal of credit on anyone. Agree with Norris or not, you must admit that he bears the reputation of being one of the ablest men in American senate; and his personal reputation is of the highest order. Furthermore, the voters of Nebraska seem eminently satisfied with him. ‘We are glad General Pershing refused to run against him. For one thing, the general very likely would have been defeated. A Lot Yet to Buy Former President Coolidge, addressing a convention of New York life insurance agency directors at St. Peters- burg, Fla., rightly declares that “a potent factor in in- creasirfg our material welfare” is the fact that more than $100,009,000,000 in life insurance is now in force in this country. The sum is stupendous. Nevertheless, no insurance salesman needs to think that the field has been entirely covered. For, as Stuart Chase points out, our national income is now around $90,000,000,000 annually. We are, consequently, insured for only a little better than one’s year’s income. In other words, the nation can and should buy a great doubtless see to it that it does. The “hit-and-run” motorist wins no plaudits from the grandstand. A Famous Dinner (New Republic) The story of the testimonial dinner offered to Magis- trate Albert H. Vitale of New York city, by his fellow members of the Tepecano Democratic club, is becom- ing an idyll, an epic and a fairy tale. Idyllic is the description.of the dinner itself, at which racketeers and magistrates, detectives and ex-convicts, broke bread to- gether in a moment of golden tranquillity. Epic is the sudden descent of bandits on this symposium; and epic, too, the tale unfolded by Inspector Donovan of how this descent was plotted by Ciro Terranova, the arti- choke king, in order to recover a contract he had signed described as the party of the first part) would pay the sum of $20,000 to Gangster X (hereinafter described as the party of the second part) upon the murder of Frankie Yale and Frankie Marlow (hereinafter jointly described as the defunct).

But it didn’t help out much. Judith for a mo- ment considered the pleasant pros- pect of telling Miss Tupper “where to get off at.” It WOULD be pleasant! But she wouldn't do it. Oh, no—no indeed she wouldn't. The reason Judith Cameron couldn't object when over-work was piled on her shoulders was one of the secrecies of her existence which she guarded so very, very closely.

They weren't—and made it plain enough. J It hurt quite a lot to be left to herself so completely. It burt still more to listen to Carla's sneers and the sly, halfswallowed giggles of the other girls.

In all of these diseases there is undoubtedly @ severe toxemia, and I believe that it is this poison which causes the anemic state. The increase in the number of white cells or scavenger cells usually occurring in secondary anemia seems to be due to an effort to clean out the toxins which are present, and as the toxins become lessened, the need for them no longer being present, Vid are reduced to the cells are formed. In some cases, the number of red blood cells may be di- minished to such a degree that they fall below 2,000,000 instead of the nor- mal 5,500,000. The amount of hemo- globlin may be comparatively high in rnicious anemia when anemia, and the number of white blood cells #s lower, whereas in secondary anemra, they are more numerous than normal.

The orange juice fast seems to be the best possible preliminary treat- ment in pernicious anemia. While this disease is ordinarily considered, rapidly fatal, the fact is that I have never seen a case that did not im- mediately begin to improve during the fasting regimen. Enemas should be used daily with two sponge baths. Sunbaths will be found to increase the number of red cells temporarily, and this increase may be held if a careful follow up diet is used. All the fresh alr possible should be absorbed by deep breathing exercises, and mod- erate exercise is also advisable: There is no other disease in which fasting, diet, sun and fresh air effect as marked improvement in so short a time. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Floating Kidney) Question: K. J. asks: “Will you Please tell me the cause, symptoms and cure of a floating or wandering kidney?” Answer: The kidneys are not def- initely anchored in an exact position, but change their position slightly with the movements of the body. Those who have a general prolapsus of the abdominal organs will find that the kidneys are always lower down than is considered normal. There are seldom any definite symp- toms except thos which go with the general prolapsus. The backache and bearing-down feelings associated with prolapsus are seldom caused by the floating kidneys alone, but come from the general weakness of the abdom- inal and back muscles which allows the prolapsus to exist. The only cure is raising these organs throug strengthening the abdominal and back muscles by taking suitable set- ting-up exercises. (Bacteria) Question: Curious writes: “Will you please explain how bacteria can produce disease if the fault is really, as you say, caused by our bad habits of living?” Answer: Bacteria are microscopic fungus growths and are really of veg- etable origin. They grow in much the same way as yeast cells or mold. They increase in numbers by. dividing so that they actually multiply by di- viding. Bacteria cannot grow except in suitable soil, and the person with bad habits provides this soil, usually in some of the mucous membranes, such as in the nose and throat. Bac- teria grow rapidly and often produce poisons of their own, some being more violent than others, There are good bacteria and bad ones, but each must have suitable soil growth. Bad habits cultivate the growth of the injurious bacteria, while good habits promote the growth of the friendly bacteria. (Copyright, 1930, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Today Is the ‘Anniversary of SCANDINAVIAN UNION On Jan. 14, 1814, Norway and Swe- den united. This union was formed on the un- derstanding that they should retain full liberty and independence within their own boundaries. Subsequent relations between Nor- way and Sweden up to 1885 were marked by no violent conflicts, Soon after 1885, however, there arose a movement in Norway aimed t at transforming the bond between E the two states into a mere personal union. The anti-union movement died down for a time due to fear of Rus- sia, but events of the Russo-Japanese war were regarded as removing all danger from Russia and the radical tendency. once more made itself man- fest. On July 28, 1905, the Norwegian People voted for separation from Sweden by a vote of 368,200 against 184. The Norwegian Diet and the Swe- dish Riksdag approved an agreement y i dissolution of the union on Oct. 6, 1905.
