Several Major Immunization Projects Now in Progress, Whittemore Says North Dakota children immunized against diphtheria during the last year and a half number more than 60,000, A. A. Whittemore, state health officer, announced Tuesday. In addi- tion, several major immunization projects now are in progress in the larger cities and counties of the state. Statistics of the.state health de- partment show that for the seven- year period, 1924 to 1930, there were 2,179 cases of diphtheria, with 270 cases of death. The deaths included eight children under one year of age: 176 from one to 10 years; 65 from 10) to 20 years, and 21 deaths of persons 21 years and over. Under the supervision of the health department, a health project insti- 60,000 N. D. Children Immunized Against Diphtheria in 18 Months tablished the fndividual is still in danger of contracting the disease. “Most children are susceptible to diphtheria. They will easily contract the disease when thrown in contact with it. This is not true, however, in the vast majority of children under six months of age, for the reason that Most adults being immune, this im- munity is passed on to the babies: INDUSTRY 1S GOAL OF AMERICAN FARMERS Protection ‘For All or For None’ Is Demanded By National Washington, Dec. 22—(#}—On the eve. of a new congress the Farmers’ | Union is the third national farm or- ganization to lift its vice against ex-| isting tariffs.

Neither organization has Publicly , favored such a tempestuous revision | jot rates as the last congress ran in- | to, but they want something done to, give the farmers a protected home market or lower the price he pays for} his implements and home necessities. | Trade Movement Held Back The thought is said to be pretty general among farmers that, encour- aged by this government's action’ in 1930, the whole world has plunged in- to_a war of countervailing duties which have held back the free move-| ment of trade. The domestic situation is cited in estimates that from July 1 to Septem- ber 30 American exports of agricul- tural products amounted in value to but. $158,000,000 compared with $286,- 000,000 a year ago, when even then business wasn’t any too good. While some of this is attributed to lower prices, there is no question that unsettled trade conditions caused a shrinkage in volume as well as in through their mother’s blood. After six months of age, however, they rap- idly lose this immunity and within, another six months most of them are highly susceptible to otto ty Hat tosis NEW FREIGHT RATE WILL BE APPLIED 70 INTRASTATE TRAFFI tuted in the drought area of north- western North Dakota last October has had as its major issue immuniza- | tion against three well-known pre-/| ventable diseases, diphtheria, small- | pox and typhoid fever. Already some 20,000 diphtheria im- munizations are in pfocess or have} been completed by the field person-t nel of the drought area project, as- sisted by the personnel from the health department, Dr. Whittemore: said. ~| Acquires Natural Immunity When 8 child arrives at adult age, Dr. Whittemore said, he or she grad-| ually acquires a natural immunity | against diphtheria with the result that most adults are immune to the, disease. During the last five years, over five million persons, mostly children.) have been immunized against diph-| theria in this country, according to the health 6fficer. The state diphtheria commission, consisting of a small group of out- standing North Dakota citizens, one of whom is a medical man, was ap- pointed by Governor George F. Sha- fer less than two years ago, for the purpose of sponsoring a state-wide! diphtheria immunization campaign,' in cooperation with the state depart-| ment of health. A state-wide diphtheria immuniza- tion campaign was launched with the Christmas tree downstairs, with the older pupils gathered at the top of| the stairs, joining in and echoing the songs was @ novel part of the pro- gram at the William Moore schoo}. Parents were seated in the down- stairs hallway, where the large tree’ was placed. Each grade was represented by one, of its members who gave a recitation. Ruth Helen Fritts, fourth grade, gave “Everywhere, Everywhere, Christmas| Tonight”; Robert Humphreys, sixth grade, gave “Willie's Christmas”; George Morton, third grade, read “A Real Santa Claus’; Charles Ballou, second grade, gave “Santa Claus and the Mouse”; James Coats, first grade, gave “Why do Bells for Christmas Ring?” Edna Lungstad, fourth grade, read “The First Christmas”; Arlene Hellerud and Billie Mills, fifth and sixth grades, each gave recitations. Singing of “Silent Night” closed the Program. ee | Billionaire, Maybe | ON ete er Seventy-four-year-old Stefano Boni- facio hopes to exchange his job as a park sweeper in Union City, N.

This immunity was fouad self did not immunize the individual but for @ short time. very poisonous product, known as toxin, which poisons the -patient’s system.

Heavy snowfalls and intense cold prevailed throughout southern Si- beria and wolves prowled around the towns and villages in search of food, causing great alarm. Two soldiers were killed by wolves and a peasant was killed by a bear. A thick blanket of snow covered] the uplands of central and southern Germany and it was unusually cold there. Extraordinarily cold weather pre- vailed in southern France with snow at higher altitudes.

ON 7OTH BIRTHDAY Says His Experience as Secre- tary of State Was Most Interesting in Career St. Paul, Dec. 22.- till active’ in international affairs at an age when most men have retired, Frank B. Kellogg, of St. Paul, Tuesday ob- served his 75th birthday and ex- pressed the belief that “our civiliza- tion is steady enough to recover from | the econothic depression.” “The world is- paying for the war,” said the worlf court judge, former | sec: of state and co-author of the Kellogg-Briand peace pact. “The world will come out of dt. What we. need is more thrift in government ac- tivities.” Thrift, industry and econocy will Peon this nation from its difficulties, Kellogg told newspapermen, who interviewed him on the eve of his natal anniversary, that he likes to re- }Mect on the tact hhe began his public career 15 years ago when he was 60 years old. “This an age when most men have luded their careers,” he as- serted. Asked what he considered the most interesting period in that 16 years, Kellogg replied: A as secretary of experience state. I had personal contact with all the governments in the world.” The Kellogg-Briand pact for re- jnuneiation of war was the most in- teresting even of his secretaryship, in the opinion of Mr. Kellogg. Kellogg was elected United States |senator from Minnesote in 1917; he was named American ambassador to Great Britain in 1925; became secre- of state under President Cool- | Vase, and was appointed world court judge in 1930.
