(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Represe es SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON eee ae eae i Why Not? ‘When Senator Nye Monday offered | the three-fold farm relief plan as an amendment to the revenue bill in the senate, he struck a responsive chord in the hearts and minds of all North Dakotans, regardless of whether or not they are listed among his political supporters. The battle as it is now going on in the senate is one of log-rolling against the people's interests. If logs are to be rolled why should not someone roll @ few for agricultural America which has been long suffering if not overly Patient. ‘There can be no question about the log-rolling on the oil, lumber, copper and coal tariffs. When so conserva- tive an organization as the Associated Press comments on current congress developments as obvious log-rolling you may be sure that the gay custom is being indulged in. This news- gathering organization deals in fact, not in comment or surmise, and when it remarked on the log-rolling activi- ties with regard to the revenue bill it spoke of something which must be generally admitted at Washington. The cry for farm relief this year has not been one for appropriations but rather one for latitude in which to operate. Leaders of the Farmers Union, National Farm Bureau and the National Grange show no disposition to regard the federal farm board as! an unqualified success, but they are unwilling to scrap it until something | better comes along. Also, they would like to improve its operation. They would like to broaden its authority so the farm board may try any one of several plans of operation, all of them} together, or a combination of the | three. All of the plans listed are well known and have been widely discussed except one. That is the so-called) Wilson plan which would allocate to} each state, county and farmer the right to sell a given amount of a given farm product at the American price. This would be the world price, Plus the tariff, and woyld apply to all of the product consumed in this} country, The rest of the product/ would be sold abroad at whatever could be obtained for it. The man who raised more than his share of the product would receive the Ameri- can price only on the amount allotted to him. If he failed to raise his full share he could sell his “rights” to} market that which he failed to pro- duce and thereby receive some income in a year of crop failure. The other plans are the export de- benture and equalization fee ideas, about which congress has wrangled Jong and without tangible result. One of the weaknesses of the pres- | ent farm relief law is that it limits the activities of the farm board to cooperative action. The question is not now whether the farm board has failed or been suc- cessful, It is one of doing something constructive to get things going in! this country—and there is no better | way than by putting agriculture back | on its feet. It well may be that the whole prin- ciple of governmental activity in the farm question is an error. If so the major crime already has been com- mitted and a little further adventur- ing will not blacken the record much more. Nye tacks the farm-relief proposal onto the revenue bill with the asser- tion that it is just as much a revenue- raising measure as the four tariffs | Dally by carrier, per year ......$7.20] 0} education. | ! i land ignore the good, sound, meaty these tirades as news but otherwise {was given over to items of society THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1932 the high altar as a fledgling lamb, In that he is correct.

In any event, it would help to solve what is admittedly a bad situation now. | College Scandals as News “ From the cloistered halls of our col- leges one occasionally hears a sten- torian bellow directed at the manner jin which the newspapers misuse the {colleges. The burden of these accusa- tions usually is that the newspapers i“play up” college scandals, such as drunken parties by the undergradu- ates, unusual antics of professors, etc.,| achievements recorded in the halls of As a rule, the newspapers print} Pay no attention to them. They are used to attack and criticism from all walks of life and it is a dull day, in- deed, which does not provoke some sort of argument. But, since college men take them- selves seriously, they have gone to the trouble of showing just how erroneous this idea is. Taking cognizance of the wide- spread idea that newspapers are un- fair to colleges, the Association of American Colleges recently made a study of 100 of the nation’s leading newspapers. It was accurate and un- biased and lasted for a month, The association reports that only 24 per cent of the news originated in colleges was devoted to flaming youth, campus scandals, college boot- legging and similar bizarre subjects. Over twice that amount of space was given to such prosaic subjects as the announcements of scholastic awards and honorary degrees. In all 35,341 college news items were clipped, totaling 20,127 feet in length, approximately four miles of college news clippings from 100 daily papers in one month's time. No issue of any newspaper had less than two items of | AND POETIC LICEN college news, and a single issue of| New York, May 24—Notes from a one paper had 124 separate items, The | Convenient cuff ...

Thirty-seven members of the crew were reported lost at sea. Important British victories in East Africa were announced. This gain was taken to mean that German rule in Africa was at an end. A German attempt to bomb Paris was nipped in the bud by French anti- aircraft buns, only one plane reaching the city. One person was killed and 12 injured on the outskirts of the city by bombs dropped. China and Japan signed a naval convention regarding the advance of Japanese troops and the use of ships in connection therewith in Siberia. .A previous agreement regarding Japa- nese troop movements through Rus- sian territory was amended and af- firmed. It was announced in Washington that Costa Rica had declared war against Germany on May 23. (Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.)

Then the sec- ond degree of ignorance includes peo- Ple who strive to get away with it, to conceal their ignorance. These are the-most insufferable. They do not care to learn.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Gasoline for Ivy Poisoning You will find ordinary gasoline (one of your favorite remedies for foot itch or athlete’s foot) an excellent first aid remedy against ivy poisoning or poi- son oak. Mop the skin with pledgets of cotton or with a soft cloth satur- ated with gasoline immediately after contact with the ivy. Or as soon thereafter as you get back to the auto or where you can obtain some gaso- line —(H. L.) Answer—It is a good practical sug- gestion. Gasoline is a solvent for the poisonous principle of ivy. Use many small pledgets or pieces of cloth, and throw each away after a single soak- ing with gas and mopping of the skin. sustenance of all vendors of hocus- pocus. It is no reflection on a person's in- telligence or reputation to have a varicose ulcer. But-if he keeps the ulcer month after month and year after year, then unless it has already degenerated into cancer he must be an ignorant person, for every such sore or ulcer which has not been so long neglected that it has developed malignancy (cancer) can and should be healed, and any physician who has had fair medical school and hospital training can heal it. Not that there is some specific cure or remedy. The treatment must be determined by the conditions in each case. In a good many cases in recent years old chronic varicose ulcer has been permanently healed by the chemical obliteration of the varicose vein that is responsible for the ulcera- tion. Anyone with such a leg ulcer, whether he is much troubled by the varicose or enlarged veins or not, should make it a rule to lie on his back and elevate the legs to vertical for a few moments every hour of the day. While in this posture exercise the feet and legs by pretending to juggle a large ball upon the toes. Before healing of any such ulcer can occur it is essential that the raw surface be clean, red, velvety, shiny and level with the surrounding skin. Poulticing for a few days with fresh yeast mixed to a thick fluid with luke- warm water will clean up indolent ul- cers dnd initiate healing. A paste dressing that has given much satisfaction is made of 6 ounces of gelatin, 3 ounces of zinc oxid, 10 ounces of glycerin and 10 ounces of water, slowly heated and stirred till a smooth rubbery mass is obtained. This is heated to melt it to the coi sistency of thin paint, and applied as paint to the whole leg, ulcer and all, from great toe joint up to a few inches below bend of knee. Of course the ulcer should first be washed with ordinary soap and warm water and gently dried.

Amputation of Uvula Some time ago you printed a letter from a man who complained of his uvula tickling his throat. I had a great deal of trouble from a long uvula, causing constant desire to clear the throat or to swallow the lump. My physician, Dr. shrunk ‘the uvula with a single diathermy treat- ment, and gave permanent relief— (S. R. F.) Answer—Yes, the diathermy meth- od, in skilled hands, is even simpler and more satisfactory than amputa- tion or snipping off the elongated uvula.
