Logan Payne CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Farm Board Barrage ‘The campaign against the Federal farm board, begun almost as soon as the federal body outlined its plan - cooperative action for the relief of agriculture, appears tting up a bit. he meth the press of North Dakota, if the Tribune's 1 is a criterion, has been filled with letters calling at- mail h, so it is alleged, are being | tention to the evils whicl created by farm board policies. ‘The failure of wheat and cotton prices to hold to higher levels has been stressed very strongly. The claim that clevators which “sign up” with one of the various coopera- tive marketing organizations are signing away their freedom of action has been strongly emphasized. Speak- ers, all of them actual farmers, claiming to be farmers or having some connection with agriculture, have toured the country. They have not been very explicit in calle who was financing their trips. Instead they have con- centrated on the job of castigating the farm board and its activities. { Not the least of the charges made against the farm board plan is that it smacks very strong of socialism. As long ago as last January one of the leading “Grain Trade” journals said editorially: “The farm board plan takes all the bargaining power away from grain sales, That is, it takes away the ele- ment, which, through the medium of human intelligence, puilds up and maintains price levels. When bargaining influence is left out of the sale of a commodity, the price Jevel falls flat. The farm board's socialistic plan of farm relief almost entirely eliminates that great, price-up- lifting factor. It will bring about farm ruin in proportion to its success.” There was more on the same order, with the noun “socialism” and the adjective “socialistic” occurring fre- quently. Some time ago, a gentleman made a series of speeches in North Dakota, some of them near Bismarck. In one of them he commented that the farm board is attempt- ing to do, on a nation-wide scale, what the Nonpartisan Leegue attempted to do in North Dakota alone, namely, to se the price of farm products by means of the power and influence of the government. He, too, used the word “socialism”. ‘And still we have both branches of the Republican party in this state strongly affirming their support of and belief in the farm board and its policies. The fac- tion which cried “socialism,” in what almost may be called the recent political unpleasantness in North Dakota, was deaf to the cry when uttered from outside the state. It is just as well that they were. If the farm board plan is to work at all, it must have the united support of the agricultural districts. A defection in North Da- kota would be felt immediately throughout the nation, for this is the most completely agricultural state in the union. No answer shas*becn made to the charge of socialism, and that, too, is just as well. Quite probably it needs none, in so far as the bulk of the population is concerned. | ‘What the people in this area are looking for is better prices for farm products, regardless of the method by which they are attained. The fact that the farm board legislation is a product of the Republican party, and bears the approval of a Republican president, makes it still more difficult for the charge to obtain much consideration. The Republican party is the time-honored party of the conservative forces of the nation, President Hoover was known as a con- structive economist before he took office. Socialism, in any form, just isn't in keeping’ with Republicanism or with the Hoover character as it was delineated to the American electorate in the 1928 campaign. That North Dakota politicians are favorable to the farm board, regardless of the accusations made against it, does nothing to prove its policies right or wrong. It does prove, however, that those individuals who make the strongest effort to keep in touch with the popular mind still feel that North Dakota's electorate is in favor of the farm board and its policies—or at least in favor of giving them a further trial. Not Safer as Yet Those air-minded citizens who constantly admonish that the air lanes are safer than the king's highway have allowed their enthusiasm to obscure the facts. They Hark back also to the old argument of you remember when the automobile first ‘blazed its benzine trail and caused the citizens to run to cover and the lowly kine to ruffle the pastures in bovine fright. But wait a moment. There is always someone talfing the joy out of life—even out of the lives of the joy riders of the air. A very scientific and somewhat cold organization known as the “Actuarial Society of America” has reduced the chances of life and of death through air travel to a mat- ter of percentages. They have figured how the law of Gravitation works when"something snaps in the steeds of the air—when a wing buckles or a spurt of gasoline over a hot motor puts a “buddy” down the long, long trail. There is no romance in their report. Just the dull thud of some very enlightening statistics which should urge those who love to fly in the air and see places con- sult their insurance agents and see to it that the Policies are all up to date, with special air-riders and everything, Neither do the “data-ticians” philosophize. They can- not qualify as aeroists, but they pack away some ugly figures for voyageurs to con over. No one needs to accept the figures as the final word. ‘Those volunteer statisticians of travel by air can still put thei: observations against the figures of the actuary, but it is like taking the word of an Indian medicine man ‘against the diagnosis of a skilled member of the American College of Surgeons. ‘The figures under discussion have been prepared to Guide insurance companies in the matter of coverage for public air travel. Not long ago, if you took to the gir for business or for pleasure, your sturdy old insur- ance policy in the safety deposit vault was just so much dunk incase things went wrong. Today insurance com- panies are coping ‘with the hew problems presented by the rapid development of aviation. That is why the un- emotional actuaries have been enlisted for the purpose of figuring out the hazards of the air. Data, for a long time lacking to furnish*what in insur- ance parlance is called “risk experience”, have been sup- | plied through federal sources. What have the experts found? Snce January 1927 fatalities have amounted to one for | every 1,250,000 passenger miles compared with one for every 300,000,000 passenger miles on the railroads. In commenting on the figures, the New York Herald-Trib- une has this to say: | “One in every 5,000 of the airline passengers curing this period has been killed. It is evident that with a death rate 240 times as great as that of the railroads the claim, sometimes made, that air travel is as safe as any other form cannot be maintained. No com- paren with automobile fatalities is made, as to do so would be statistically impossible. One may cite the fact that the annual death rate from automobile | accidents in American cities is between 20 and 30 in 100,009 of population—not by way of comparison but merely to suggest the order of the automobile hazard. “Most people will be surprised to find the death rate among commercial transport pilots very much higher than among army and navy pilots. Licensed transport pilots as a group have a mortality rate of 34 in 1,000. Those flying regularly scheduled sir- lines have a mortality somewhat higher; while the fact that those with less than 400 hours have a mor- tality of 79 in 1,000, as against a mortality of enly 29 in 1,000 for those with greater flying experience, seems to speak cloquently of the importance of the human factor in the safety of flight. From all this one may deduce that an element of hazard still remains even in regularly scheduled airway trans- port.” Demagogy Beaten Occasionally the much debated primary scores a vic- tory in the interests of better government. In the good old days of the convention and the ward or precinct caucus, a “Ma” or a “Pa” Ferguson would never have | ) Rw NM 2 gotten to first base.

The whole election merely proves the truth of Lin- coln’s famous adage about fooling all the people all of the time. Why We Like Dirigibles | One of the British newspapermen who made the round trip across the Atlantic on the dirigible R-100 writes | that the whole trip was reminiscent of Rudyard Kip- | ling’s fanciful tale—written a couple of decades or more | ago—about transatlantic airships. There was the same sense of drama, of romance, the same feeling that the old science and tradition of the sea had been transfigured | by being put into an entirely different setting. It is that fact, probably, that makes most of us rather hope that commercial transatlantic airship services will eventually be established. We don’t care much whether! they would be time-savers; they would be very thrilling, and that is enough for us. Whenever the imaginative fiction of one age can be translated into the reality of | the next we are all the gainers. That probably oes | far to explain the general public enthusiasm for dirigibles. { Envoys of Good Will \ Members of the famous St. Olaf’s choir are return- ing home with fresh laurels. They have been envoys of good will to some 35 European cities. + They must have given the impression also to the land | of their forgbears, that here in America choral perform- ance has reached a high plane."

Not only will it help the merchants | and the shippers by saving them actual cash through | lower freight rates, but it will help the growth of Het-| tinger by permitting all business destined for the city to be transacted in the city. ‘ No longer should it be necessary for the merchants of the city to labor under a handicap because nearby Soutn Dakota towns are able to ship goods into their town| much cheaper than the Hettinger merchants; thgt they are able to realize a nice profit by unloading theif goods / south of the line and trucking them into Hettinger. Nor should it be necessary for any Hettinger merchant to have his merchandise shipped to nearby towns and truck it into Hettinger to save money. If the equaliza- tion plan works out as ordered by the Interstate Com- merce commission all North Dakota, and particularly the border towns, will profit through the elimination of the discriminatory rates hitherto meted out to North Da- kota shippers and merchants, f Montana Looks Forward (Minneapolis Tribune) In current news reports of the drouth, the state of Montana is shown to be one spot in the northwest which has suffered much, Yet there is evidence that it is standing on its feet and looking forward. It is com- plaining little and preparing to do something about it. The Great Falls Tribune points to the fact that Mon- tana is relatively much better off than the middle west- ern and eastern states and is still a land of plenty as compared with the Ohio or lower Mississippi valleys. It points out that, situated as it is in the Great Plains semi-arid region, a low rainfall during the growing sea- son is now and probably always will be Montana's portion, It sees the future agricultural development of the state as dependent upon accepting the condition and adapting agricultural practices to it. It insists that the handicap of light rainfall is more than offset by other advantages. Its grain, grasses and vegetables are of uniformly better quality than those grown in lower altitudes, : _ An intelligent plan for the conservation of mofsture is advocated. Farmers are urged to practice proven tillage methods in non-irrigated regions under which land is cropped not more than twice in three years. Where the topography of land will permit it is pointed out that| coulee dams may be constructed to retain spring run-off | surface water. Wells may be drilled for watering stock and operating small irrigation plants watering forage crops. in the foothilis country small streams can be utilized for irrigation. It is The Great Falls Tribune's contention that when the history of the present period of Montana develop- ment is written it will be referred to not as the drouth period, but as the era before Montanans learned to meet | and overcome the agricultural problems caused by. low rainfall. In all this is indicated the spirit that has made and kept Montana a great state. There is nothing quite like it in the west. There are no cbstacles such a spirit. | cannot overcanie, $$$ <9 Today Is the | Anniversary of HEGEL'S BIRTH On August 27, 1770, Georg Hegel, helped foster demagogy and that is why the victory of one of the greatest German philoso- iphers, was born at Stuttgart, Ger- many. influence on him.

Ziggy was on the Herald Tribune, and he was occupying the apartment in ‘East 42nd street that Rorimer had re- cently vacated to go to Hollywood and a ecenario-writing job with Continental Pictures. Rorimer was in a hurry to get up to his room and change his clothes. It was Saturday afternoon and Paul Collier was going to pick him up to play golf. So when the clerk at the Roosevelt handed him the letter Rorimer stuck it im his Pocket and made for the elevators, Later on, attired in linen knick- ers and a light pull-on sweater, he telephoned for a bellboy to bring him some ginger ale and ice and pick up a,suit to be pressed. At the knock on his door he sald, “Come in,” and Collier entered, triumphantly escorting the grin- ning Filipino boy and carrying the tray himself. “Just in time,” he announced cheerily. “Playing the nineteenth hole first?” “I'm hot,” said Rorimer, “and I'm thirsty, and I'm not in the best of humor. Help yourself while I clean out the pockets of this suit.” Collier, mixing himself a drink and taking it over to the comfort- able arm, chair beside the window, said,! “What's the matter, Dan? Finding they don’t appreciate your talent at Continental?” He stretched his long, well-propor- tioned frame lazily and reached for one of Rorimer's cigarets. Dan grunted. “I learned today that they've cast Frederick Atwood as the newspaper reporter in ‘Grim Holiday.’ Can you imagine that sheik doing a convincing job as a Rewspaper man?” “You should be glad,” Paul Col- Mer told him, “that they're starting at last to make a picture of your story. When they buy them it doesn’t always mean that they pro- * duce ‘em. They do funny things in Hollywood.” He sighed. “Hurry up and grab your drink, Dan. I'm parched.” ROokIMER tipped the bellboy and dismissed him. “Here's a let- ter,” he said, “from Ziggy Young.” He picked up bis glass, said “Here's how,” and sat on the “Down the hatchway, sponded methanicel! Ziggy up to?” : Rorimer ripped open the letter, read and frowned, “It's long enough,” he sald presently. “I'll read the postscript—Ziggy always buts his news in a great big P. S. He was never known to put the bunch in bis lead.” “How much does he want to bor- row?” Collier asked lazily, and Rorimer got up from the bed with an oath, “Can you beat that!” he exclaimed. “He wants me to look up some girl friend of his out here and try to get her a job in plc tures, Me! . . .

Her folks don't think much of the idea, but Anne's 8 trifle bull-headed.’” “Most of them are,” Collier ob- served. “Listen,” Rorimer sald ‘and con- tinued reading. “‘l haven't seen Anne for about five years. She was nothing but a kid then—a trifle leggy and with lots of freckles. If she isn't good-looking by this time she never will be, and if you don't look her up and buy her a dinner whenever she’s hungry I'll be off you for life. Maybe you can get her a break in the movies. You've got some kind of @ pull or you wouldn’t be out there yourself. And those big stars like Clara Bow and Dolores Del Whoozis can’t last for ever, so why not give Anne a chance?” “That,” Rorimer announced, filng- ing the letter down on the bed, “is what I call a lot of crust, I should spend my time and money being nice to a friend of Ziggy Young's family down in Tulsa!” Collier was laughing heartlessly. “You haven't got a chance in the world to duck it,” he said, “I'll bet Ziggy's already written to dear lit- tle Anne and she'll be expecting to hear from you.” He added that the next time he saw Dolores Del Rio he would tell her something to give her a laugh. e. ‘OLLIER saw them all, He wrote & daily column on Hollywood ‘for an impressively long list of pg- pers, and spent most of his working hours around the studios or inter- viewing stars in their homes. Like Rorimer, he had known Ziggy Young in newspaper work in New York, but he and Rorimer bad be come acquainted only on the lat- ter’s arrival in Hollywood. It had been a telegram from Young that bad sent him down to meet Rorl- mer’s train, and then, at Ziggy's request, to attempt a practical joke. Dan Rorimer got bis clubs trom the closet and announced he was ready to play golf but Collier said, “Not-so fast. You can’t throw Ziggy down. The old boy would do as much for you. He's got a heart as big as—" “As big as a bird seed.” sald Rorimer. “Anyway, Danny my boy, you can’t throw Ziggy down. What's Miss Winter's address?” “Some place on Romaine street.” “Let me see that letter. I’m go- ing to call up information and see if she has a phone listed.” He busied himself at the tele- phone and, after getting informa- tion, announced that there was no number, “Got a privately listed tele- phone, 1 suppo: said Rorimer a little bitterly. “Big stuff! Every extra girl in Hollywood has one.” “Seng a telegram,” said Collier. “Tell her to call you up and leave her phone number.” “All right. And I'll send Ziggy Young a telegram, too.” They went downstairs. At the telegraph desk Rorimer wrote @ euTHOR CUCUMBERS ARE NOT INDI- GESTIBLE There are a number of common superstitions about the cucumber, such as bejeving that this veg- etable ‘is indigestible, or that it is poisonous unless soaked in water. or that the skin is injurious. The false belief that cucumbers are indigestible probably originates from the fact that they have a very pronounced odor and flavor. people belch gas after they eat a very large meal. Those who have this tendency will notice the flavor of cucumbers predominating over other, blander flavors, such as po- tatoes or meat, and consequently the cucumber is blamed for causin, indigestion when the real cause the strouble is overeating. Cucum- bers receive the blame for the dis- comfort which may be caused by other foods simply because of their persistent flavor. This delicious, succulent vegetable is certainly no more indigestible than any of the other non-starchy vegetables. Of course, if cucumbers are |soaked in vinegar or mixed with onion, they may cause disturbance in one with a sensitive digestive apparatus, but this is solely because of thetestructive influence of the vin- egar, and because some people find onions gas-forming, and not because of the cucumber. This is another instance where a vicious reputation may be gained from the association with bad companions. The belief that the cucumber is poisonous originated because of a bitter taste which is someti found close under the skin at the stem end. This flavor, although bitter, is not poisonous, and can be avoided by peeling the cucumber more thickly at the stem end. This vegetable does not need to be soaked in salt water which would ofly have a tendency to toughen it. There is nothing in- jurious in eating the skin, especially ciple is shown to underlie even the material world; and the philosophy salt Most HEREZ.TO YOUR HEALTH By Dr FRANK, WCOY OF “THE FAST Why TO HEALTH” 90 words Address Dr. Frank McCoy, ewe of this paper. of the young, tender cucumbers.

Cucumbers. may be obtained throughout the year in some mar- kets, but the most plentiful season is from June to November. The summer varieties are usually of a juicier taste than the hothouse va- rieties grown in winter. They are also less expensive because of the abundance of the crop and should be used freely because of their cool- ing, healthful properties. The cucumber is especially rich in the organized salts of calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron which are so necded in the daily diet to supply the body with the valuable minerals which are the building stones of the cell structure. Now that the season is here when cucumbers are reasonable in price, you should remember to use this tasty succulent vegetable as often as possible for variety. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Tubercular Gland Question E.G. asks: “What treatment do you recommend for bovine tubercular gland of the neck?” Answer: The treatment consists, first, in creating a healthier con- dition of all glands of the body through a proper dietetic treatment; then, along with this, certain local treatments can be used over the affected gland.

To Ziggy Young he wrote: “Am looking up Miss Winter stop I hope you get murdered in a speakeasy.” Then he and Collier, two slim, well-molded young men in golf togs, proceeded to their game. It was balf-past six or later when Rorimer got back ‘to ‘the hotel. There was a message for him at the desk when he asked for his key. Miss Winter had called in and had left her telephone number, Glad- stone 5855. a ‘ Upstairs, changing clothes again,. Dan gave the matter some thought, He was still indignant at Ziggy Young’s habit of taking everything for granted and he didn’t relish the idea of chaperoning some movie struck girl around Hollywood. Why in thunder did people come to Hollywood, anyway, if they didn't have a job lined up? They only added to an already aggravated unemployment problem. He certainly wouldn't have come out here, he told himself as he kicked off his shoes, if he hadn't been given a contract. And he hadn't asked for his job, either. If he had, he probably wouldn’t have got it. It had been a case of Cont!- nental Pictures liking a couple of his published stories and buying. one and taking an option on the other. And then the executives at their New York office had talked about the opportunities for good dialogue writers, And then the contract, Ziggy Young had called him a lucky dog and Rorimer supposed he was. He grinned in recollection of the party he had thrown for some of his newspaper friends, His farewell party. To a man they wished him well, but not one would admit it. They made dire prophe- cles; they predicted he would be back in New York before summer, with a pair of smoked glasses and ® tin cup. And they had sort of Poured him onto the train. Oh, well, it was a good party. His mind went back to Anne Winter. The slip of paper bearing her message lay on the little stand beside his bed. Paul Collier had said in parting, “Don’t forget to call on Miss Winter. And if she has a girl friend I’m out of town.” Collier had said he was going to Long Beach. Rorimer picked up the slip of paper and read it again. thought: “I don’t have to call her up—not tonight, anyway.” Still, he had committed himself to Ziggy Young, and he had nothing to do tonight. He rang for some ginger ale and finished dressing, It was warm. February 16th and just like summer, Probably snowing in New York, he thoyght.

Waiting for the connection, he reminded himself that he never did have any luck on blind dates. Just a big sap, he thought, and fervently cursed Ziggy Young again. “Hello,” he said, “is this Miss Anne Winter?” It was. “This is Dan Rorimer-—Ziggy Young’s friend. You got my tele gram, I see.” Miss Winter said she had and that it was kind of him to take trouble. She added that it was n! to hear from one of Ziggy Young's friends. 4 (To Be Continued). 2 ments. Removing a Verruca Question: F. S. writes! “I have what the doctor calls a verruca on my hand. Would a lack of salt in my diet cause this, and’ how can I remove it?” . Answer: A verruca is a wart and there are many different types. It is possible that a fasting and dieting regimen followed by a local cautery treatment on the verruca would overcome it. A lack ot salt in the diet would not cause this, but ed acidosis might be responsi- le. Thick Ankles Question: D. asks: “Will you Chere advise me of something to do for ankles which are slowly but surely getting thick—not swollen, but just large and unshapely. Sure- ly there must be some proper exer- cises or treatments which would remedy this.” Answer: If thickening of your ankles is caused by fleshy deposits you could reduce them somewhat by following a correct diet and taking exercises by raising and lowering your weight alternately on the heels and toes. Massage would also be beneficial. However, if the enlarge- ment is of the bone you are prob- ably suffering from some constitu- tional disease which would require @ careful diagnosis. .Ptomaine Poisoning, Question: X.Y. Z. asks: “Will you please tell me the principal source of ptomaine poisoning?” Answer: Ptomaine poisoning is caused principally from using pro- tein foods which have undergone a certain degree of putrefaction. This would include all of the meats, also the dairy products and fish. (Copyright, 1930, by The Bell yndi licate, Inc.)
