Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BO! Now Unite and Cooperate Dealing in part in the why and wherefore of it, the talk of Samuel R. McKelvie, former governor of Ne- braska and now wheat representative on the farm board | at the auditorium, Monday night, was a summons to! the farmers of Burleigh county to get together in co- operative alignment of some kind and thus aid in mak- ing farm relief effective under the federal marketing act. This was advice to make the act operative as well as beneficial to the farmers. Supplementing this was the Suggestion that farmers should work toward the remedy of curtailing surplus crops and raise these products ; world after all. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1930 the present period of bankruptcy is mighty unpleasant it will end in @ much fairer, more efficient assessment and Chicago will be much better off. Shady political exploits are always pulled off in the dark. If the light of publicity is kept shining all the time graft and incompétence can’t get very far. Humble News Also Big There is just as much adventure in cegree in the or dinary happenings that do not get into the news as there ds in the weighty events that supply the top lines for the first pages of the newspapers, only the gallery that shares the thrill of the former is insignificant compared tu the audience that world affairs command. London naval conferences, prohibition debates, tarifi discussion, sports and scandal are not the only occur- rences that are under way in the world. They hold the stage merely in the newspapers. Often these are of mere -ph-~ierd! interest in the end. It is !1 the hearts and the consciences, the feriunes and distresses, the ambitions, the failures and the successes of individual lives that the real dramas of life are acted. It is around such that literature builds its lasting fiction or constructs its im- mortal dramas. “Even in the humbiest of happenings of the individual, often scemingly petty affairs, there are stories of real importance—though it may be only to the humble in- dividual actor. What stories are those? Well, suppose that some morn- ing when vou picked up your paper you saw, right next to the London naval conference story, a yarn like this: “Tommy Jones. a 24-year-old clerk in the Cooper Manufacturing company offices, has got a $5-a-week raise. and he figures that will just nicely make it possi- die for him to marry Alice Brown, who is a stenograph- er on the floor above him, scmietime soon.” Or this: “John Smith, who is 45 years old and has a wife and four kids and just manages to keep two jumps ahead of the sheriff, what with all his unpaid bills, taxes and in- surance payments, got a look at the lamplight shining ‘trom the windows of his home when he returned from work last night and decided that it's a pretty nice old before, but somehow, last night, it just struck him all at once that a snug home, a good wife and a few children which are not grown now in surplus volume. This W@S\ 4 spout all any man needs in this life. ‘That lamp- practical adjustment of crops to the law of supply and demand, and withcut recognition of this prime economic | Jaw no farm relief scheme can get far, if anywhere. The big consideration now is to get the farmers unit- | light, shining out through the dusk, looked mighty in- viting.” Those stories would look funny on the front page, in between the stories about great statesmen and indus- d in cooperation by membership in one of this type of | trialists and scientists and so on, wouldn't they? Yet organizations, whether of elevator service or terminal! i¢ is the tittle things, just lke those, that are really the marketing. With that accomplished, the farm board can | big things in the lives of most of us. begin successfully to marshal its marketing strategy. The goal of the board is to reduce the sale of farm produce to the basis of legitimate trading, *~ eliminate the specu- Jation and hedging. There are two schools of thought on this, one contending that gambling in grain futures has @ tendency to enhance the price, as it does some- times, the other seeing only the depression that also may result and the consequent disorganization that results from widespread adverse speculation. The depression following the recent stock speculation debacle illustrates the thought of this school. 4 The farm board is committed to the contention that there is no advantage—on the other hand, much harm —in continuing to subject grain to speculative processes. ‘The board, as Mr. McKelvie says, means to hasten the day of legitimate trading in farm commodities by pro- moting @ farmer-owned, farmer-controlled marketing system, whereby the natural laws of supply and demand will have free play based upon the best information avaliable throughout the producing and consuming world. With such a system of marketing achieved, the farm board feels that the main problem of agriculture as a business will be solved, for it cannot be effected without weeding out the detriments and slovenliness which at present blight this business. As stressed by the speaker, what must be done, first of all and before there can be real hope, is to unite the producers. The sooner that can be done, the sooner will orderliness develop, and on orderliness depend all the hopes that have been built up by the new legislation and its federal machine, the farm board. Safety Afterward Vs. Safety: First Modern life demands eternal vigilance. Its complexi- ties compel continual guard against peril. The moment of relaxing is the one in which the penalty of risk pene- trates. This is a world of relativities. When they clash or tangle, then it is realized how dangerous a world it real- Jy is instead of the safe, comfortable place we like to _ think it to be. Every tragedy of mischance is evidence of this. That ‘which recently occurred at a death trap near the city, for instance, was evidence of the uncertainties which beset the unwary everywhere, even in the solitude as well as in the hectic activities of the metropolitan city. ‘The daily fatalities and tragedies are so many sum- monses to investigation that repetition may be avoided, for we are a people given to much investigation. There is also a rule of safety afterward as well as one of safe- ty first. ¢ ‘There also recently was a railroad crossing tragedy in Ohio in which nine children being carried to school in ® motorbus were killed. The coroner investigated, na- furally. It was all that he could do. \ It was, for ajl that, a weak ineffective gesture. No ‘amount of questioning could undo what had occurred or insure that it would not happen again. For the problem of the grade crossing death trap is @ vast one in this country. As stated in the survey of the American Automobile association, Saturday, Ameri- ca is sowed with this type of crossing, 210,874 of them ‘Unprotected in the entire country, 5,729 deadly ones in. North Dakota, an average for the country of one to every 14 miles of highway, with a total of 5,046 accidents to the Credit of the aggregate in 1928, their death toll 2,165 and fnjuries to 6,218 persons, in addition. ‘These statistics call for more impressive thought than ‘we normally give to this matter. To investigation should be added action. We could build tunnels under our grade crossings, or we could hire a watchman for every crossing in the country, or we can build roads so as to avoid as many as of tre-e traps; because no rem- || -edy would be too drastic or expensive. As it is, we shall do nothing of the kind; and one of these days, we shall read in our newspapers of some similar accident. The happiest life can be broken to bits by ® few seconds of negligence. An unpredictable ac- _cident may come, at any moment, to plunge any one of ‘us into the depths of misery. ‘We would like, probably, another kind of world. But we can't get it. We are under a terrific tension and we as well admit it, It is the penalty we pay for liv- ing in a high-speed, mechanical age. The Value of Publicity Nothing spectacular ever happens to us. The dividing line between happiness and unhappiness is determined by insignificant things. Sometimes a matter of an ex- tra five bucks in the pay envelope can make the whole world look brighter; and sometimes it’s even a littler thing than that—a brief, unexpected moment of vision, in which we discover that the small joys and unimport- ‘ant rewards of every-day living are, after all, the mo- ments that make life worth hanginz on to, Learning that lesson is the beginning of wisdom. There isn't any great triumph or high adventure in store for the most of us. We don't amount to much, from most standpoints, and we never shall. But that doesn’t mat- ter. We go along, from day to day, doing the same old Jobs, seeing the same familiar faces; and little by little we realize that it’s all tremendously worth while. The most ordinary sort of life can keep in touch with infinity. Our stories don’t get in the papers. But it’s just as well. We know—and we are content, If the best words in our language are “Enclosed find check” then the worst are “Please remit.” Blue beads are a token of bad luck in the Orient. A black eye is the token in America. Big oaks from little acorns grow and lightning strikes more oaks than any other tree. Making ends meet is often like a dog catching his tail. They simply won't stay met. An optimist is a man who lends money to kinfolks.

Dr. Shep. hard came frequently and spent long periods st the bedside. The house was quiet, depressing, and smelled of hospital supplies. At first mention of the dread malady Judith Knight bad been terrified. “Pneumonia!” she repeated hope- lessly. “Ob, doctor—!” “Now, now!” Dr. Shepbard’s low tones came reassuringly. “You must take’this calmly, Mrs. Knight.

On nd account were they to enter Arthur Knight's Toom. Miss Owens was the night nurse. She and Miss Mallory had arranged a schedule so that at all times of the day and night one of them was on duty. Trays were ar- ranged and sent up with the nurses’ meals. It was exactly as though the residence had ceased to | become a home and was now a hos- pital, Explaining the situation to Tony Knight was more difficult. It was a time when one might have sup posed common ‘suffering would draw these two young women into sympathetic understanding. Not so! eee goons found her stepdaughter in the sunroom, staring gloomily out upon the March landscape. “The doctor’s just gone,” she sald by way of introduction. The younger girl raised her eyes. “What's he say?” “Ho says it's pneumonia.” “Then he'll die! He isn’t going daddy! Oh, how dare, how DARE you tell me such a terrible thing? 1 won't believe it. It isn't true! Father—FATHER—!” The girl was on her feet. Her words came in a gasping torrent. She had started for the door when Judith caught her arm. “Tony!” she said firmly. “You musto’t talk that way, And you can’t go upstairs now.” “I will go! 1 WILL!” Judith bad taken the girl's arm. Tony wrenched to get it free, The girls struggled. but Judith held frm. “But you mustn't!” she insisted. “Dr. Shephard says no one is to be allowed today. He wouldn't let me go. It's—it’s critical, he said. The slightest disturbance—!" Tony was sobbin, now. She kept pulling and twisting. Her voice had risen in pitch, Suddenly she let go of Judith’s earm, gave her one quick, malicious glance, brought her hand back and sent it sharply against Judith’s cheek. The shock was effective. With a little cry the older girl drew back. Tony made for the door. “Here—what’s going on heref”. A man’s voice, curt and authori- tative, cut the air, “Miss Knight!” the voice con- tinued severely, “we must have quiet!” Doctor Shepherd eyed Tony Knight over the rims of his spec. tacles. He had not been the family physician of the Knight household for eight years without learning a thing or two about this girl. “Nothing of the sort!” he said, glowering impressively. “She hasn't Got anything to do with it.” Tony brightened. “Then I CAN go?” “No. You can't. You're going to stay out of your father’s room— and, mind you, no more of these tantrums! Want him to bave a re lapse, do you?

If you want to make your father a lot sicker than he is now start that screaming again! Are you going to stop it?” It was really surprising how fero- clous Doctor Shephard, ordinartiy a meek man, could become. Tony hung her head. “Yess!” “See that you do it!” Judith had been silent through this conversation, but her cheeks were scarlet. Had Dr. Shephard seen the girl strike her? Judith Knight was mortified and ashamed. She looked more ill at ease than Tony. The doctor glanced from one girl to the other. Then with a final “H-m-m!" he turned on his heel and disappeared. Hers ‘were no more open argu- ments. Tony went about the house silently and sullenly and Ju- dith was soon so anxious about Ar- thur she forgot the girl. Miss Owens was more talkative than Miss Mallory. When the night nurse came downstairs at eight o'clock in the morning, after being relieved from duty, Judith took care to have an immaculate table waiting and a hearty breakfast ready. After she had finished her toast Miss Owens cduld usually be Dersuaded to sit a few moments and chat, Judith herself did not eat break- She scarcely nibbled at food at all those days, complaining that it choked ber. She drank coffee when Mrs. Wheeler sent it to her and would have been surprised if she bad realized how often this happened throughout the day. When Miss Owens said: “Fairly good night.

When the nurse’.looked sober and admitted her patient was troubling ber the girl's eyes closed in pain, and her lips pressed firmly together. Two mornings in succession she heard that her husband's condition was dubious. The second day Dr. Shephard came downstairs and told Judith it would be well to send for Junior. “I think you owe it to the boy,” “Twenty-four hours ought to tell the tale.” Doctor Shephard trips to the bouse that day. sent a telegram to the director of Artbur Junior's schoo! saying the boy’s presence was desired at home at once, She hed to keep busy.

She was waiting for Doctor Shephard's footstep on the stairs, This wait- ing was becoming intolerable. She Must have some comfort! Five minutes, 10 minutes passed. At last she heard a door open.

(Weeping Eczema) Question: J. W. M, asks: “Will you please give me your advice re- garding what I diagnose as weeping eczema in a baby four months old, the condition appearing on the face only. The child is in perfect health in every respect, and is breast fed, with orange juice in the early morning feeding Answer: As the baby is breast fed, the trouble no doubt comes from some 00d | toxic condition of the mother. This healthy muscular tissue which is the may be difficult to remedy as long as the baby continues to live on the mother’s milk, so it would be far better for the mother to stop nursing the baby and put him on pure Hol- stein cow's milk, together with a small amount of orange juice before each feeding. (Diabetes) Question: Mrs. K. I. L. asks: “Would the advertised remedy- be good for diabetes?” Answer: I do not advise “rem- edies” either through this column or in my private practice. Proper food is the only remedy you need to bring about a cure of diabetes. If you will send me your name and address I will be glad to forward general in- structions for the cure of diabetes. (Tubercular Bowel) Question: Mrs. H. P. asks. “Wil you please tell me the best dict for tubercular bowel?” Answer: The diet must be well balanced, but with a minimum of starches and sugars.’ The most effec- tive treatment is to use two or three warm water enemas a day. At the same time, it is necessary to build up the general strength of the body in order to overcome any form of tuber- culosis.
