Hate and love rarely find same breast. that the voters have no emotions to waste in eulogizing Roosevelt because they are so busy condemning Hoover. The result, curiously enough, is much better for Roosevelt than if he were being presented as a divine healer of all the nation’s ills, as was done with Hoover in 1928. The na- tion expected so much from Hoover Roo- sevelt will not be subjected to that stress if he is elected to office.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Burleigh Felicitates | Burleigh county felicitates Wash- burn and McLean county on its re- cent fiftieth anniversary. Its hardy pioneers have performed a great serv- ice in building up the great Missouri Slope country, an empire in itself, whose vast resources have hardly been scracthed. Despite the fact that economic pressure is upon the land, the good people, our friends and neighbors, celebrated their golden jubilee in a most interesting and fitting manner. Naturally they called the roll of the builders of the county, prominent among whom was the late J. J. Sat- terlund. “King John,” as he was popularly known, was always a tire- Jess worker in behalf of McLean county and Washburn. He never missed an opportunity to promote the advancement of the Missouri Slope. What means he acquired after years of enterprise he put back into the section of the country where he prospered. That is the best test! of loyalty to the home town and| county. In common with many pio- neers, Mr. Satterlund loved the west! and the picturesque Washburn upon the banks of the Big Muddy. Washburn staged a celebration| worthy of a town many. times its} size. At the banquet which closed the festivities were many pioneers. Mayor Diesen has lived in the county for 40 years, Near him sat Ed Hall of Elbowoods, given the honor of} having lived longest in McLean. Only the Indians can challenge that. He} arrived with a government wagon| train in 1869 and his party was at-| tacked by Sitting Bull's band of war-| tors, Andrew Rosberg, a McLean resi- dent of 50 years, exhibited running gears of a wagon he had purchased | Second-hand from Andrew Mellon, mow ambassador to the court of St. James. Mrs. John Veeder, wife of} one of the city’s founders, graced the! celebration, She came from Seattle, to visualize for the younger genera- tion what McLean looked like in the “good old days.” There were many more among the honored guests who told of struggles! against the elements and the In-| dians. Men of great fortitude were these trail blazers of more than 50 years ago. For years some scorned the plough and the career of the sod- buster, preferring to ride the ranges. But those days have gone in Mc- Lean as in many Missouri Slope counties. Farming is now confined to more restricted areas and is di-| versified and intensified. There are many lessons to learn | from the pioneers who braved more hardships and overcame more han- dicaps than those we complain of | today. Those were the days when | men’s souls and patience were sorely | tried, but the spur of great necessity | Wrought great things for McLean county. Congratulations upon the fiftieth milestone. Campaign Emotions Walter Davenport, writing for Col- liers Magazine, predicts that Hoover Will lose the western states and par- ticularly those on the Pacific coast. Not having visited the Dakotas he asserts the “probability is strong” that they will be found in the Roose- velt column also. One of the surprising things he dis- covered was the fact that, while he expects the average voter to cast his ballot for Roosevelt, he heard Prest- dent Hoover's name mentioned 12 times to once for Roosevelt. His com- ‘ment on this was: “True enough, Mr. Hoover was ‘sually discussed adversely, the “rest of the time with praise so faint as to be barely discernible. “ But almost invariably the speak- rs, Republican and Democratic, discussed Mr. Hoover in national terms, devoting ex! time -to what they regarded as his fatl- his shortness of vision, his ‘Aneapacity for including the little 2 in his manifestoes, his | Face to Face With Facts It is reported from reliable quarters that instead of levying $1,500,000 to pay interest on rural credit bonds of ithe state, to place the department in merely @ favorable position $6,000,000 should have been levied. Put that in your hat, Mr. Farmer of North Dakota, when someone tells jyou on the stump about the “pro- gram.” State money has been loaned on a political basis in instances. Not always actual and needy farmers have been the beneficiaries of our rural credit system, but, as usual, they hold the bag. Challenge your candidates for the legislature as well as your state can- didates, Democratic or Republican, what they are going to do if clected about this rural credit mess. Constructive action has been too long delayed. It is now high time to cease chasing rainbows and to take stock of debits and credits? What a glorious issue for a fearless candidate lies in this situation! Won't Mix Issues Walter J. Kohler, Republican nom- inee for governor of Wisconsin, has decided not to confuse state and na- tional issues. It has been decided to run the Hoover-Curtis campaign from separate Republican headquarters and Mr. Kohler will not be drawn into the fight. Those backing Kohler declare their fight to redeem state government from its present status is of more im- portance to the taxpayers than presi- dential issues.

A tax- payer reading that might be encour- aged to think that the stories of farm board losses had been greatly xaggerated. He might even suspect| that the farm board had not run through the half billion dollar fund! which congress voted for the experi-| ment in stabilization. { Unfortunately, there has been no exaggeration of the profligacy of the farm board. The profit credited to the Farmers National is the profit) which was made by a_ brokerage| agency operating with taxpayers’ money in the speculative venture euphemistically called stabilization. The losses, running into hundreds of millions, are charged to the taxpay- ers. The profits, amounting to a few million. are credited to the firm which handled the trades. In order to achieve that small profit the tax- payers had first to lose the funds ventured in stabilization. The gov- ernment as speculator lost; the gov- ernment as broker picked the bones for a profit. Not the least extraordinary item in the accounting is the one which shows that the paid-in capital of the Farmers’ National is less than $809,- 000, while the profits, after all ex- penses were paid, amounted to 150 per cent of this sum.

Address Dr. William Brady, NUTRITIVE VALUE OF MILK AND BEER In this column recently the con- ductor derided the claim that beer is equivalent to milk in food value. Since I ridiculed the absurd claim there have eben appearing in many newspapers letters to the editor, signed in each case by the same! name, in which tables of analyses of beer and milk are given, the analyses being credited to Dr. Robert Wahl of | Chicago, as made in 1915. view! of the fact that my name is used as! the occasion for the letter to the paper, it may be well to state the essential scientific facts, lest any un- initiated reader be misled. First, the comparative analyses as credited to Wahl seem fair enough. Milk Beer] Carbohydrate (sugar) .. 4.25% 5% Protein (nitrogenous Mineral matter | Alcohol .. | Fat . Water As the les iv ter which has been sent to many edi- tors, the alcohol is entered as “equiv- alent to butter fats in food value.” In a personal communication the au- thor of the letters writes me that it happened he was a student under Professor Atwater of the Chemistry Department of Wesleyan University in 1900-1901, while the famous ex- periments with the calorimeter were being conducted, so he purports to have first-hand information as to the nature and findings of those ex- periments. Notwithstanding that, a gram of fat on combustion or oxidation in the body yields 9.4 calories, whereas a gram of alcohol yields only 7.2 cal- ories. Even if all the alcohol in a pint of beer could be oxidized and utilized as a food or a fuel, a source of en- ergy or heat in the body, it would yield scarcely 130 calories, whereas all the fat in a pint of milk, which is readily oxidized and utilized by tbe body, yields more than 189 cal- ories. The sugar or carbohydrate content of milk and beer may be regarded as practically the same, but the protein content of beer is negligible while the protein of milk is one of the most substantial and complete build- ing materials in the human dietary. Ordinary run of the market milk at 5 cents a quart (as it has recently; cost) or at 25 cents a quart (as the! finest grade, Certified milk, and in} some communities goat's milk costs) is far cheaper and better food than the best beer ever brewed, even if! the beer could be had for the same} price as milk. / The truth is that the human me- | tabolism can oxidize and utilize as) food or fuel or a tissue sparer or a! source of heat or energy, only a limited quantity of alcohol. Experi- ments under scientific control indi-| cate that the maximum an adult can utilize is something less than 4 c. c. (small teaspoonful) of alcohol in an hour. If more than that maximum is taken, the excess is excreted un- burned, mainly through the lungs, and it is readily detected on the sub- Ject’s breath. Indeed, when the odor of alcohol is on the breath it is proof that more has been taken than the body can utilize. Such excess may not be regarded as intoxication by the laity or by the law, but scien- tifically we must so regard it, since alcohol is a narcotic depressant in any, of the original capital of this so-called cooperative agency was provided by the government does not appear. How much of the taxpay- ers’ money was lost in the specula- tions handled by the Farmers’ Na- tional also does not appear. These are matters which are likely to re- main secret unless congress calls for the books and sets competent ac- countants at work to discover their real meaning. It is to be hoped that congress will do so. A half billion dollars hes kets without tremendous losses. Hav- ing spent that much money on edu- cation, the taxpayers are entitled to obtain the maximum of information nius for antagonisms.” y electorate has shown relatively enthusiasm for Roosevelt but the antipathy to Hoover will be thing noted was that the | clearly as it can be. As a warning of what even the government, with its enormour financial resources, cannot do. the experiment has some salvage value, its action on the body. T still deride the intimation that beer compares favorably with milk in food value, and I need not brand this bald assertion that alcohol is equivalent to butterfat in food value. —_— » QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dreams Is there any way to prevent the Occurrence of disturbing dreams every night?

One scientist claims they are, and that some far-off island where natives had intermarried for years had the finest specimens of humanity .. —(M. C.) Answer—The Isle of Utopia, wasn’t it? Nationality doesn't matter, nor family, nor tribe. If both parents are healthy specimens the children will be healthy specimens. If either parent has any inherent or consti- tutional or physical or mental taint or defect, the children are likely to be less vigorous specimens.

THE ‘PROP CHILD’ < New York, Oct. 4.—Among the millions of Manhattan babies there is one chubby, appealing, cunning mite that the Broadway zone wisen- heimers rudely refer to as “the prop child.” A “prop” in the vernacular of the stage is a “property”; otherwise an atmospheric or scenic stage acces- sory. Thus with the baby. I am told that the same youngster | has been used at least half a dozen times by different groups of mendi- cants. The mother, struggling against poverty, will not resort to beggary herself, but allows the child to be | wheeled about by others who use it to stir sympathy and thus gather alms. The mother takes a percent- age of the income. However, she is said to be very strict about the hours kept and will not allow it to be taken out after 10 in the evening. She prefers daytime workers, thus saving the cost of a nursemaid. * * As the story comes to me, it all started during the summer months when the frantic mother asked a neighbor in her drab boarding house s 2 Prof Question a .

The neigh- bor, @ few bites of food, trundled the baby in a buggy and appeared a few hours later at Sixth Avenue and 32nd Street. In the buggy was a scrawled sign reading: eae this poor mother support her child.” Thereafter the neighbor borrowed the baby at frequent intervals. The word went around the neighborhood. Others asked to use the child. Just the other evening a friend pointed the baby out to me. It was being wheeled about by a tattered couple who carried on their back signs reading: “We are trying to make our way west for our health. Please help us.” eee SLICK, EH? Another racket: A bedraggled- looking gent stands at the corner of 42nd Street and Broadway. His ap- pearance is that of a forlorn stage Yet he wears a sandwich sign which goes something like this: “Ask me about the most beautiful dance hall in all New York.” ‘That’s s laugh by itself. It’s cer- tain to attract the eye. What could this ragged, down-in-the-heel fellow know about the most beautiful ball room? You wonder if he ever saw a dance hall and “300 beautiful danc- partners.” Maybe, after you have laughed, you decide to ask him. Whereupon, @ gent who has been standing at the curbstone turns around. The curb- stone stander has appeared to be one of the crowd. Actually he’s a “steer- er.” And they are pretty strict about steering and soliciting in 42nd Street ag days. So he has avoided the aw. After all, the passer-by has asked for the information. That lets him out as a steerer and capper. He be- comes merely an information bu- reau. Yes, they get slick in this town. ee Ok ‘LET'S WORK MADISON?’ Then there's the racketeer who has organized a band of five blind men.

Mo- rales would pay well for this infor- mation and, not knowing that Ann ‘is spy, asks her to secure it. He also em- ploys her to entangle Ted and kill his beautiful niece, Adela’s, love for the American. Ann goes to warn Bob and brings Ted the news that a large tract of land controlled by Merales rightfully belongs to him. Back in her room, as Ann informs ‘Ted of Morales’ proposed trap for him, the door opens and the Span- iard enters with Adela. His purpose accomplished, he apologizes and leaves with his disillusioned niece. Downstairs, Ted receives an insinu- ating message from Jito, Morales’ ward, who is insanely jealous of hini. The inevitable clash has come and in the ensuing life-or-death battle, Ted wins, but spares Jito’s life. “How he knew that Radcliffe was in my room last night, I can’t say,” Ann smiled understandingly. “He came up to get a note for Don Bob.

But what shall I say to Ted?" He patted her hand. “Better say nothing at all, dear. It's over, and besides Ted had quite a busy evening after that.” “How ts he? And where is he?” Bob nodded toward the house. “Inside, trying to shave with his left hand. He's just a little awkward this morning, for some reason.” Then his eyes were fired with the memory of that struggle. and he shook the girl gently by the shoulders. “Our Ted made immortal border history last night, Adela. Jito's defeat will mean more for the peon than a dozen of El Coyote’s raids.

Uncle and 1 put him to bed, and later he and Jito had-a tong talk together, but they told me nothing.” A door closed above them, and they looked up to see Ted. His right hand was bandaged and above his forehead stretched an angry bruise. As he saw. Adela his face lightened. Running quickly down the steps he took her hand and raised it to his lips. “I've been so worried since 1 heard,” she said simply, and even now there was a little tremor in her voice. “You're not hurt?” Ted shook his head. He tried to speak casually. “I'm as sore as the very devil, but not hurt. Your little cousin has left his mark on every square inch of me, but in six months or a year I'll be fit as ever.” Together they sought the shadow of the porch, and as Don Bob lighted the girl's cigarette she looked swiftly up at Ted. “I'm not going to talk about last night—not ever. -It was a cruel stupid act of my uncle’s—and 1 shan't forgive him for that. You see, my friend, I have never known any American well—and so my uncle is bitterly afraid 1 may fall in love with you.” She smiled. “Is it not a compliment, big Americano?” Then, suddenly serious again, she added: “But all this means you are in dan- ger—very real danger. Jito will not let many days pass before he wipes out the memory of last night. And it may be my uncle will help him. again, Tcd. Even here you are not safe.” “Safe from what?” “From Jito, and from something I don't know what. There's a shadow 1 can't explain but that ianes me. Don't you feel it, Bob smiled slowly. He looked out over the desert. “Danger here as everywhere Always the bright face of danger What can Ted do about “He cah keep out of Mexico.” “Would you really want him to?” Ted himself answered. “That's just what 1 can't do, Adela.

He had seen the growth of that country from a little praitie village to the paved and bustling town of Verdi. He had seen swift killings, and many of those baptized by his own hands he had lived to see die in violent and sudden passions. And all this had left him with eyes that were a little weary, but with lips that were al- ways ready to smile. It was eome- thing the years had never dimmed, the sweetness and sympathy of that smile, He spoke without the least accent as he took Ted's hand, “I had heard of you, my son, when first you came.
