CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Milk Tests and the Laboratory Rigid milk inspection and testing of supplies to assure purity is not a step to require defence or apology. It is ® duty which the health and sanitary authorities owe to those who place them in official position, for these health and sanitary authorities are sentinels against the insidious invasion of disease and epidernic. ‘The policy is so general the country over, whether un- - der national, state or municipal auspices, of guarantee- ing the public in the purity and healthfulness of its food and drink and medicines, that individual watch- fulness and precaution have become atrophied in the reliance people place in public inspection of these neces- sities, : ‘This is a confidence that is not to be abused. Neglect find indifference are such abuse and amount to betrayal of a public trust. Besides there is a trifling with the health and lives of the people involved. Public safety breaks down in its most important sector. ‘When, therefore, @ local situation arose where the guaranteeing of the city’s milk supplies seemed beyond the capacity of the state bacteriological laboratory here longer to assure under hampering accumulation of work, the city commission took a natural and proper step in coming to a new understanding with the laboratory and proceeding to extend assistance that will speed up the periodical tests by which the purity of the milk is de- termined. Better still it took the step of appointing a dairy inspector, thus assuring cleanliness even before the milk is gathered in the milking pail. This ought to re- duce the instances of excessive bacteria in the samples tested. These should not exceed 500,000 to the cubic centimeter. The State Health department has come up- ‘on instances of as high as 10,000,000 bacteria in some of the local supplies. This type of milk must be cut off at the city limits. A veterinary inspector, however, very those cow stables which now are not as clean as they should be. It might be a good idea when the policy of inspection and testirig gets under way to issue monthly official 'atements of the grades of purity in the milk delivered and sold here by the farm dairies as is done in up-to- date cities and towns. Those supplies which do not come up to quality in cleanliness should then be barred. Under a licensing system as shat which the city or- dinance provides, this sort of dairy administration should become automatically possible of functioning and it should fairly guarantee the public against deleterious and injecting types of milk. ‘There has been some talk of removing the state labor- ‘tory from here. That would be treating the Slope coun- try as though it were not a part of North Dakota. The idea can not be denounced too freely. The rising tide of tests which a graph cast by Bacteriologist E. W. Eck- Jund shows of the activities of his laboratory proves the need of the plant here. It is performing a useful and necessary function and is a convenience the physicians ‘and the towns of this section could not afford to dis- pense with under the circumstances. ‘There should be united protest if such a course be- €omes more than rumor and turns to intention on the part of Dr. H. E. French, director of the state laboratory system. Rather should the laboratory be given increased financial support by the legislature at the next session and, in some way, the bacteriologist, at present Dr. Eck- und, be given needed help. One man here making 1436 fests in a given period, compared with 2001 by five men at the university plant, is too great a margin to impose ‘on the local laboratory as now manned. At least it is mo excuse or subterfuge for agitating or threatening the femoval of the laboratory. ‘Townley’s announcement that he will try issues in the Third District with Sinclair means another wringing wet gampaign in North Dakota next June.

He is a great football coach, Boyle on Farm Board ; Prof. James Boyle, for many years a member of the North Dakota university faculty and now professor of tural ecunomy, Cornell ainiversity, has many kind words to say for the Federal Farm board in an article appear- ing in the January number of Review of Reviews. President Hoover has always believed that cooperative marketing rather than price-fixing would solve the slump in which agriculture has been plunged since the end of the World war more than ten years ago. It is very natural then, Professor Boyle points out, that Hoover should name “eight zealous believers in cooper- ative marketing.” That theory of marketing within the next few years will have the greatest test in’ history. The Farm board has $500,000,000 back of it and more should the exigency arise. As the writer points out, while there are many strings to the Farm board's bow, only one was used during the first five months of its existence, that is its power to loan money to cooperative associations, Four loans were made, the fourth, one of the largest, was $500,000 to the North Dakota-Moniana Wheat pool and concerning which George Duis, of Grand Forks, is quoted in the article as saying: “This advance will very greatly aid us, also, in carry- ing the wheat of our members and in holding back from market such wheat until such time as better prices pre- vail.” Despite the enthusiasm of those interested in cooper- ative marketing ventures for this farm relief legislation Professor Boyle finds the farmers are either skeptical or entirely apathetic as regards the operations of the Fed- eral Farm board. Members of congress are very much of a divided opinion, he also discovers. Readers will recall that Senator Glass, of Virginia, in Farm board, declaring it means merely of bureaucrats to pester the farmer.” The other side of the picture is voiced by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde in these words: : “In all the history of America, there has been no pro- gram and no legislation in aid of any industry compar- able with it.” How well the job will be done is purely speculative at this writing. The Farm board has not been given suffi- cient time in which to function to prove its ultimate worth, if any. Even its opponents must agree, however, that its mem- bership is such as to invite confidence of the agricul- turists. Failure, if that rather than suyzess comes, will be because of insurmountable economic barriers which have blasted many a well-intentioned program of farm relief. ‘The board cannot move any faster than the farmers, though the various organizations are willing or able to accept the program as laid down. Chairman Legge, of the board, has emphasized this point many times. Abraham Lincoln boiled down into a few words the | theory of law enforcement in this sentence: “Bad laws, if they exist should be repealed as soon as Possible; still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed.” About the only thing scarcer than hens’ tecth are Pretty girls who don’t know it. A man never thinks health is wealth after swapping health for wealth. ‘Women never will be men’s equals wntil men object to being kissed. | Editoria} Comment | Speculation in Wheat (St. Paul Dispatch) Stock market speculation and gabling in grain have been favorite topics of violent denunciation in loose language of glittering generalties. Short selling of stocks and deals in wheat futures have been the particular evils singled out for special treatment. The legality and necessity of short selling in the stock market was quite definitely taken out of discussion years ago when Charles Evans Hughes conducted an investiga- tion of the New York Stock Exchange and issued a re- port which the public accepted as the final word on this kind of trading. Most people dabbling in the market are “bulls” buying for a rise. Unless “bears” took the opposite ground and sold for a decline, inflation would go to disastrous extremes. In the wheat market purchases and sales for future delivery iiave become an established part of the machin- ery of business. Many of these transactions are purely speculative, but the hedging system is used by all ele- ments in the trade from producer to miller and foreign buyer to protect their business. Hedging for the legi- timate buyer is insurance, the reverse of gambling. In every form of trading, there can be developed metpods of gambling and speculation inimical to legi- timate business, and disastrous in particular to the pro- ducer. But the same system that is perverted to unde- sirable uses is also needed in the carrying on of honest trade. Futures and hedging form an integral part of the present marketing system, whether carried on by specu- laters taking a gambler’s chance or by buyers and sellers for actual delivery. The number and amount of the gambling transactions will gradually diminish as the new cooperative market- ing system and stabilizing operations increase. But not until practically the entire wheat crop is taken under control by the Farmers National Grain corporation, or some other agency, for orderly marketing through actual deliveries to purchasers, will trading in futures be wholly eliminated. Townley Enters the Race (Devils Lake Journal) A. C. Townley, who might be called responsible for the political fortunes of a number of North Dakotans but who, himself, has refrained from running for public Office, firally has came to the conclusion that a maker of politicians should become a candidate ‘for something. Yesterdty he announced himself a candidate for the nomination of congfess in the Third North Dakota dis- trict, where he will oppose the incumbent J. H. Sinclair, who is cne of the products of Townley’s Nonpartisan league organization. Townley is an avowed wet while Congressman Sin- clair is an avowed dry, and, according to Townley’s an- nouncement, the league organizer will campaign on the wet issue, using a referendum in a second attempt to re- peal the dry section of the state constitution as the basis for his campaign.

Mickey’s income was steady. He was a vice president of something or other (reaily two somethingsor- other) but if he could have told you the name of either it would have been quite remarkable. He was as careless about business affairs as he was about the lady who hap- Dened to be his wife. Mickey had a daughter, too, an attractive youngster with yellow curls, photographed . occasionally with other children at a society fair at Nowport or digging in the beach at Miami. These photographs generally appeared in the Sunday newspaper gravure sections. When- aver he saw one of these pictures - Mickey looked at it and wondered how the kid was getting along. The child lived with her mother. Mrs. Mickey Mortimer had had a rather good part ina musical com- edy playing 18 months on Broadway before she and young Mortimer had gone down to City Hall to be mar. rled there by an official. That had been four years earlier.

He had to have playfellows, a very great number of them, did Mickey Mortimer. Tony Knight, as Mickey himself ex- pressed it, was a “devilish enticin’ | little trick.” The girl was quite captivated by his airs and his ardor, She began to make excuses and avoid engage- ments with Count Bodanzky. Tony’s Aunt Helena disapproved of this and very shortly Tony and her Aunt Helena. disapproved of each other, They did it in such loud tones and for such a long while that the girl cabled her father, sent off her trunks and caught the first boat for New York. Mickey Mortimer was on the same boat. It was Mortimer's custom, when his companion was a very pretty girl and after about the fifth cock+ tail, to state that he was “divorcing his wife.” It Was a good beginning for the long story of bow fate was abusing him, Sometimes this story would become so pathetic that only music would drown ‘his sadness. That meant that Mickey would start einging, and when Mickey sang there simply was no likell- hood at all of guessing where that party would end, - The truth was he was not and could not divorce his wife. Neither was Mrs. Mortimer divorcing her husband, _ Mickey didn’t mind.. He had found that a good looking young man of wealth never need face any dearth of feminine companions, He and Tony visited a blase the- atrical revue that evening, dined at a supper club which was not one of Florence Mortimer’s favorites, danced at two others and shortly after four a. m. arrived at the Knight residence.

She ignored Judith but told Mrs. Wheeler she would like breakfast sent to her room. Thus for three days the routine of the Knight household remained. Judith and Arthur breakfasted in the dining room at eight o'clock. Judith conferred with Mrs, Wheeler and Cora devoted herself to house- wifely tasks during the morning. Tony arose at noon and called for @ breakfast tray to be sent to her room. Each afternoon she left the house, returning about five o’clock. At seven Arthur and Judith and Tony dined together, and by nine o'clock Tony had sought com- panions of her own. It was a state of armed neu- trality, Judith, hoping each day for some slight weakening toward friendliness, had to content herself with an occasional civil remark during dinner.

I'm so glad you’ve come home! We've been expecting you but I didn't know you'd arrive until afternoon. Your father will be so pleased.” She was delighted to think that he had recognized ber and spoken, and so her words rushed on, trying to let the boy know she was grate- ful. not feeling exactly sure she was saying the right thin; Judith would never have guessed that this was Arthur Knight's son. He was taller than she was, built slightly but with the promise that years would “fill him out.” The boy had gray eyes which had étudied Judith ever since he had, first seen her. He wore a gray suit and overcoat and a cap which em- phasized the boyish look about him. Hair which was light brown and curly showed beneath the cap. Judith felt that she had been saying too much. She blushed. “Do let’s go in,” she finished. “It’s cold and I'm keeping you gut here freezing.” The lad held the door back po- litely and Judith entered. Harriet appeared and took the wraps.
