Writing on the Wall With the Bank of North Dakota preparing to turn over some of its Jand loans to the new federal credit agencies, it seems that the hand- writing is appearing on the wall for this political venture into financial salvation. As a bank this institution has made money. It could not fail to do so, barring the most gross incompetence or downright dishonesty in its man- agement. With all the deposits of the state and from many other gov- ernmental subdivisions, it need only reduce the interest rate, invest the money in bonds and clip the cou- pons. Except for the land loaning de- partment the Bank of North Dakota is simply an agent for the state treasurer and for other treasurers throughout the state in caring for Public money. But the land loaning business has been a big one. We have invested nearly $40,000,000 of the people's -money in it, making loans on some 18,000 farms. The taxpayer has had to foot a rather impressive bill as a result, the benefits to the borrower have not always been beyond question. But we have the experience and it may prove worth the price if we profit by it, ‘What the loss in the land loan de- partment of the bank eventually will three «. 250 150 2.00 Canada, per be cannot now be determined but} that he is back on his own feet#@ut in the open air and found-him- that it will be heavy even the most optimistic admit. Several millions in tax money already have gone into it and millions more are to follow. How many depends on the future Policy of the state. We have now a splendid opportu- nity to ease a part of the load which the bank is carrying by transferring Some of these loans to the federal credit set-up. ‘We have, at the same time, no good reason for remaining in this busi- ness. The competition of the federal government is too keen. Lower in- terest rates and a longer time for amortization offered by the credit administration make it necessary for the Bank of North Dakota to meet these terms or go out of business. The correct answer will save the people of this state a lot of money. The wrong answer will prove costly. There is the possibility, of course, that the federal government will lose money on its land loan enterprise, just as the Bank of North Dakota has, but that is a national and not @ state problem. There is no good reason why, as long as these facili- ties are being offered, the people of this state should not make fullest use of them. . One thing and one alone gives hope that the federal government will escape the red ink balances which have marked our own efforts in this field. This is the unusually low price of land at the present time. The probability is that the federal agencies will do a good deal of their business on a rising market, whereas the Bank of North Dakota has car- ried on in the face of a constant de- cline in land values. This Is America If a man from some distant planet were to visit our southland and watch Negroes plowing up a fair pro- portion of the cotton crop as they now are doing, we should be hard put to it to give him an adequate explanation. To the answer that we have too much cotton he might inquire about the benefits of having plenty of this fiber and if the people generally have too many cotton garments. All of us know the answer to that. Even the most hypocritical individual knows that there are not enough cotton stockings to properly cover the feet of American children; not enough cotton garments to restock depleted wardrobes. Yet we are taking cotton out of existence as an answer to the problem of over-pro- duction, At the time it seems to be the one effective thing we can do to re- store some sort of balance between Production and consumption and thereby increase the price so the cot- ton farmer will have more money to purchase other things. But the incident illustrates clearly how inadequate man has been in dealing with problems of his own creation; how imperfect is this solu- tion to a pressing dilemma, It would be far simpler to let the cottom mature and store it in the warehouse, then take a nice long va- cation next year. But our society is 80 organized that so logical a thing would not work. Joseph’s advice to the Egyptians to store up the harvest of fat years in preparation for the lean would have small effect in the wheat or cotton futures market. Big Parade The nation has seen no more im- portant parade than that (which now is going forward throughout the length and breadth of our land. It is @ little difficult to get a pic- ture of it because those taking part and} do not appear in mass formation, but|nicotine solution (one of the various every man who tucks a lunch box under his arm and starts off to work is a part of it. ‘The man who has long been idle and who finds himself a job consti- tutes a one-man parade of vast im- portance.

He has again come into the ‘rightful heritage of an American citizen. ‘This development is of vast im- Portance to us out here on the farms for it means that the power to pur- chase bread, meat, vegetables, milk, butter, eggs, poultry and other. prod- ucts is being restored, thereby im- Proving the market. It means that we will share in this upward swing, as the markets have amply proved in recent weeks, There is no really logical reason why we should not have industrial pros- perity and agricultural prosperity side by side. In fact, if we are to have either we must have both. There is no room for jealousy between the city man and the farmer, If we are to go places and do things we must all pull together.

The Magic Cure (New York World-Telegram) Now come the humble tropical fish in a curative battalion assaulting the ramparts of skin disease, and the Aquarium has become a lay shrine for people afflicted with diseases which medicine has been unable to master for them. A month ago stories were published in the newspapers telling of the dis- covery of a bacteriophage in tanks occupied by tropical fish—a germ killer which had cured maladies of the skin. A hundred and fifty-two persons stormed the ramparts of the Place where once Jenny Lind charmed Call it an unlucky star or what you. Will, these are the facts and we might as well face them. Also, we might as well accept this opportunity to retire the state from the land loan business with the Proper gratitude which such financial manna deserves from a people wan- dering in a credit wilderness. The Time to Kick Most of us reserve the right to Kick about our taxes and exercise it freely at taxpaying time. It is one of our “inalienable” rights and no one has power to deprive us of it, Publication Tuesday of both the county and city budgets, however, suggests the fact that we must kick the multitude, seeking the magic wa- ter cure that would charm away the Pestilence upon their bodies. ' The Aquarium authorities made it clear that they were not operating a clinic, though some of the seekers after the cure were treated experi- mentally, while the water was sup- plied certain hospitals for experimen- tal uses. But the afflicted have con- tinued to come and to plead for help by every form of human communica- tion, some offering $1,000—any sum— for @ cure, one threatening to kidnap the scientist to compel him to rescue him from the sores which tore his aad as the sores tore the spirit of job.

A florist at work in his greenhouse sat down on a chair on which some Spray liquids used against plant pests) and his clothes were wet thru with the poison for an area the size of the palm. He continued working, but in about 15 minutes he was taken with nausea and faintness. He took a drink of water and immediately vom- ited and continued to retch. He went self in a drenching sweat. His breath- ing became labored and painful. He was taken to the hospital in an ambu- lance. On the way to the hospital he lost consciousness and did not recover consciousness till three hours later. He lay semiconscious, writhing, moan- ing, gasping, with rapid 40 respira- tions, irregular heartbeat 86, rectal temperature lowered to 95.6 F., pupils Pinpoint, pulse feeble, extremities cold, no tendon reflexes. They were puzzled as to the diagno- sis. The patient was given stimulat- ing hypodermic injections and exter- nal heat applied. Next day he was recovered except for some oppression under the breast- bone, weakness and slight nausea. He was discharged on the fourth day. His decribed would hardly prevent fumes from escaping tho it might make evaporation less rapid. It takes very little nicotine fumes to poison a small animal, when inhaled. The experi- ment is not scientific at all, unless control animals are used with pro- vision against inhalation of any of the fumes. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Water Is Fine ‘We let our 19 months old son paddle and plash in the bathtub every day for from 10 to 20 minutes. He enjoys it. The water is just tepid. An old practical nurse is shocked—she says it is very weakening to bathe a child so often or so long... (R. V. H.) Answer—Don't let Sairey Gamp spoil the baby’s fun.

But he dressed and went his way rejoicing. But within an hour after leaving the hospital he was again seized with nausea, vomiting, sweating and diffi- culty in breathing (painfully remi- niscent of that first day, eh, fol- lows?) and was readmitted to the hos- pital. He was not so sick this time, but left after four more days. Three weakness, sweating, vertigo on change of position, insomnia, nervousness, and constant sense of pressure under the breastbone, worse on exertion. (Here it is fair to saw that an in- surance company was interested in the man’s disability. That may ac- count for some of the symptoms that persisted). The man was in good health four months later, but he said he was un- able to go into a greenhouse where the nicotine spray was being used without suffering immediate nausea. The man, by ‘the way, has long smoked and still enjoys five or six Pipefuls daily. The Boston doctor reporting the case arbitrarily asserts that the nico- tine was absorbed directly thru the skin. Then, like a regular “scientist,” he cites some experiments to sustain his funny notion. The fur was care- fully shaved from part of the belly of @ cat, unanesthetized but fastened on its back to a board. Some of the same 40 per cent nicotine pelueion, ‘aoe for spraying was poured over this area and gently sopped and rubbed in with gloved finger. The area thus wet with nicotine was covered with an inverted glass dish held down tightly with ad- jhesive tape. Why? ‘The “sicentist” says “to prevent the fumes from es- caping.” Aha—so there are fumes to be taken into consideration?

So curious, in fact, that they blocked traffic one side of Broadway the other evening by clus- tering around a young man who, ap- c ‘| parently unmindful of them, was fid- dling ‘with a gadget that looked like a stereoptican, and from which wires led into a suitcase he was carrying. Now and then he would hold it up to his face and call excitedly: “Hello, Bill! I see you now, Bill... I can see you smoking a cigar... Do you see me all right; and can you hear me OK? ... It work, Bill, it works! ...” Suddenly seeming to notice the crowd, he opened the suitcase and began selling, “as souvenirs of this great scientific triumph, a marvelous little devise known as the ‘television- Scope,’ only 25 cents.” These turned out to be tiny cardboard boxes con- taining squares of mirror and with full directions for using them to look around corners.
