(Official City, State and County Newspaper) SEE eee CDR aaa Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON South Dakota’s Bonds South Dakota sold $150,000 worth of baby bonds the other day at a sav- ing of $9,000 in interest. Brokers ‘were ignored and through advertising media and cooperation of the banks, the issue was over-subscribed. In the following letter to Governor Green, M. W. Willy, director of the Rural Credit Bureau describes how the matter was handled: “The first $150,000 baby bonds have now been oversold. Several orders were sent back to bidders. “You will recall we had only $150,000 bonds printed for the first sales test. Although the to- tal amount authorized was $500,- 000, present plans do not provide for having more baby bonds _ printed, inasmuch as the existing boards will soon be replaced, and the new boards will not be legally qualified to sign this issue. “The experience gained during the past three months in whcih the above $150,000 baby bonds have been sold, leads me to the conviction that even during these times of depression, it is possible to annually dispose of upwards of $500,000 of such securities. “Granted more adequate sink- ing funds to encourage greater confidence, and better farm prices to produce more surplus cash, it should be feasible to Place at least $1,000,000 worth of baby bonds in the hands of South Dakota investors each year—at a far lower interest rate than is now enjoyed on the open market. “The present issue draws 5 per cent interest and runs for five years. Comparing this with the 6% per cent rate paid on the March 15 issue sold through brokers, this one small issue of $150,000 represents an interest saving of $11,150. There should, of course, be deducted from this amount the cost of selling the bonds which is $2,117.40. “If South Dakota is to con- tinue to refund bonds, it would be a matter of sound business Practice to continue to make its bonds available to its own citi- zens in such amounts and de- nominations as will appeal to South Dakota's purses.” South Dakota is putting its fi- nancial house in order. A losing farm Joan department is being liquidated, budgets are being slashed and sink- ing funds are now safe-guarded. Minot Favors Change Minot, third city of North Dakota, will change from the commission to the aldermanic form of government next April. By a margin of 85 votes the city decided to revert to the old system. Next August the city will employ a manager in hopes that mounting costs of government can be curbed, Much can be said in favor of the aldermanic form of government for cities. Experience has shown that all groups of citizens get more ef- ficient representation. Many citizens feel that an alder-/| man elected to look after the speci- fie needs of his ward is more ac- cessible to them and more responsive | to their suggestions. | On the other’ hand those who favor , the commission form of government Results, how- | ever, have hardly proved this. Alder- 'men in cities the size of Bismarck ‘serve for @ nominal sum, in some small cities merely for the honor and because of local pride in their city. ‘Under the commission plan in some cities, salaries have been put at such ®@ figure that spirited corttests are { Public sentiment is against sub- The Associated Press is exclusively | Stantial reductions in the war debts pensated by definite benefits in markets and otherwise. “In any event in protection to our]! own vital interests as good neigh- bors and in accord with our tradi- tional duty as wise and fair credi- tors whether to individuals or na- discussion of these questions by na- tions who have sought to maintain their obligations to us.” In conciliatory but firm words, President Hoover says we must hon- or the request for discussion of those nations who met their obligations while serving notice inferentially at least on the others that prompt pay- ment of their agreements should en- title them to the same consideration. The standing of Great Britain and other nations who paid promptly, in all future conferences will be better than those who defaulted. Some of the defaults were not based upon in- ability to pay but rather from a de- sire to force the United States to cancellation or at least substantial reduction. unless there are considerations in trade and other relations that will act as an offset. New Epoch? A review of advances made in 1932 in the electric and engineering fields makes brief mention of what is called “Polaricode.” It is described as “the art of su- pervising and controlling distant machinery,” and here is what it can do: “Over two wires, 25 different opera- tions can be controlled and four wires permit 100 times as many. More practically stated, four wires would permit opening and closing of the gates of a waterwheel, making sure the generator was up to volt- age, connecting it to the line, reg- ulating its load, observing that the bearings were not too hot, operat- ing switches and circuit breakers, SAYS 4%, WOW NEARR 1S BEER?

No reply can be made to calling different attendants from a distance and even observing whether the day was rainy or fair, sunny or clouded, all from a distance of 50 miles.” All of these things could be done, according to the engineers, in less than one second. It is an advance, of course, but how is society going to make its benefits available to the average man? When we have solved tha: question we shall have opened a new epoch in the history of the human race. Proper Cooperation Participation by the City Commis- sion and the Association of Com- merce in the general welcome of in- coming state officials is proper. Bismarck has won the name of a friendly city and regardless of po- litical differences and opposite opin- ions on some economic issues that inevitably exist and probably always will be present, this city extends cor- dial greetings to the new members of the official family who will hold the reins of government for the next two years. A community gathering has been announced, partially made possible by the cooperation of the city fathers and the Association of Commerce. It is under the auspices of the Women’s Nonpartisan League club and their efforts to give the new state officials @ royal welcome should meet with General public support. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. (New York Times) In his annual report to President Butler, Dean Rappleye of Columbia’s School of Medicine addresses him- self to medical economics—a ques- tion recently considered by the Com- mittee on Medical Costs. He warns against adopting any program that endeavors to reduce professional services to “mere terms of economics and organization.” Physicians have always insisted that the practice of medicine is not only a science but an art. It follows that the “art” must suffer if a patient is treated as if he were merely a living machine. Medical art finds expression in the Personal relationship between physi- cian and patient as well as in skill and knowledge. Hence the pleas re- cently heard on behalf of the old- fashioned family physician. He knew the whims of Aunt Sarah and the aches of Uncle Joe. What he lacked in special knowledge he more than made up by his personality and the confidence that he inspired. He em- bodied “the attributes of friend, i ik {different factors in different cases or us. Actually we have , concentrated for the cities. Solve the prob- practice for this over- tions. CONTAGIOUS IMPETIGO | Every autumn some kind of break- ing-out appears on the skin of several children and adults in a certain group or neighborhood. Doctors call it im- Petigo. Is this a “dirt disease”? Is it contagious? Should persons who have it be in school, or at work or in their usual contact with well persons, in business or social life? (Mrs. M. M. KL ) In the first"place, the authorities on skin disease know little about it. The name impetigo merely signifies an attack. Perhaps the characteristic lesions of impetigo may be caused by epidemics. The commonest form occurs as you describe and is quite contagious. Any! child with such an acute eruption on the skin, somewhat resembling chick- en-pox or in some instances suggest- ing ringworm, should be isolated. So should any adult.

In business and so- cial life, you have to rely on your own judgment; in view of the shocking lack of conscience on the part of the average ignorant layman (or the lay- man who pretends to be ignorant) it jis wise to err on the side of squeam- |ishness, in sheer self-defense. ‘The characteristic lesions of impet- igo appear first as vesicles (little blis- ters), which latew become pustular, or they are already pustules when first ‘noticed. There is usually considerable itching present. In the course of several days the Spots become covered with a brownish crust. The crusts dry up and fall off in a week or longer, leaving a red stain, which gradually disappears in another week. The crusts of impetigo are larger than the spots of chicken-pox and oc- cur in patches, while the spots of chicken-pex are more evenly distrib- uted over the skin. Impetigo crusts look as though they are “stuck on” the skin. They never leave mark or scar after healing, but chicken-pox lesions sometimes leave pits. The inquisttive fingers of the pa- tient spread the disease, from place to place on his or her own skin, and to the skin of any other person who happens to come in close contact. In children the natural impulse to scratch the itchy or irritated spot must be watched. In older girls or boys the anxious handling of the skin must be warned against. Of all ‘treatments or remedies for impetigo contagiosa ammoniated mer- cury ointment seems the most satis- factory. Each spot should be kept covered with a bit of the ointment, gently rubbed in with one finger tip, the finger tip being very thoroughly scrubbed with hot water and soap for disinfection immediately after apply- ing the ointment. Twenty grains of ammoniated mercury in the ounce of soft petrolatum or cold cream, is the right strength of ointment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Drinking Water Does the drinking of four or five glasses of water a day send the blood Pressure up? Also does drinking milk send it up? (W. H. G.) Answer—No to both questions.

Never needs a false face, since his own silvered beard reaches almost to his knees. During the year he goes about selling lode-stones and New York is a good lode-stone market, par- ticularly in times when good luck is needed and superstitions ride a bit higher than usual. He was thrust into the Santa Claus business by accident. He had no in- tention of growing a long beard. But one time his sister lay ill for many months and he attended her daily, without leaving the house. When he finally went back to the world, his beard had such a good start, he de- cided to keep it going. Youngsters pointed to him ‘and cried: “There goes Santa Claus—” So} Santa he became and Santa he has been ever since.

The grave is filled with a Bine-scented fluid, and nearby are two bottles similar to that found Maskell, Geraldine’s employer. Two women were seen leaving the doctor's office carrying sim- ilar bottles. Colt picks up a blond Mrs. Morgan, a neighbor, corrob- orates the doctor's statement that he was with her daughter the day of the disappearance. He claims a strange woman was wait- iag outside his oftice when he re- turned. Other suspects are Geral- dine’s brother, Bruce, who is to inherit her estate, and Harry Arm- strong, the victim’s former fiance. Armstrong states he phoned Geral- dine from Hartford, the night be- fore she disappeared to suggest they elope, but she refused.
