Cran- dall, head of that organization, de- livered himself of some remarks! bout what he thinks ought to be Gone for the farmer. His views are notable for two things, One is that he represents the viewpoint of an intelligent farm- er, actively engaged in the business of trying to make farming pay. He; ‘views the situation without regard to Politics and is not a candidate for any office. Hence he has no restric- tions or inhibitions which come from the fear of losing votes. Neither does he face the necessity of over-stating this position so that all farmers will consider him their friend. ‘The second is that he is the head Of the largest cooperative of its kind an the world. It did most of the ‘business on the South St. Paul mar- ket last year and paid $156,057.81 in dividends to its patrons. Because of his affiliation with the cooperative movement he has helped to improve conditions at South St. Paul and has had opportunity to look into the en- tire marketing situation as it affects the farmers’ interests. Here are his proposals: “1. Relief measures should have come from an embargo placed upon every important agricul- tural product imported into this country which competes with American agriculture. “2, There should be a free and unhampered flow of agricultural products to public markets at the lowest possible rates of trans- Portatic ion. “8. The unfair practices of trade in determining price and net income to agriculture should be removed. “4. The live hog should be standardized, when sold for the account of the producer, by gov- ernmental supervision in weigh- ing, grading, docking and fill, so that country buying points will be on a basis of equality with public markets. “5. The government should exercise every effort in reestab- Ushing commercial trade with the countries. “€. The federal program should take out of production marginal regular service by dirigibles between |the United States and Europe seemed jcertain. Then the Akron crashed and the dream dissolved. Those giant craft that had looked |s0 safe and powerful took on a fragije {and dangerous appearance. Just as the early hopes were too optimistic, so did the reaction go too far. The dirigible isn’t as fool-proof it isn’t as dangerous as the Akron disaster led some of us to think, either. Establishment of a service such as the navy suggests would give us a 00 )chance to see just how American- made dirigibles would act on regular schedules—and, for that reason, jmight be an experiment worth mak- ing. Unforeseen Handicaps Just as though it were designed to Prove that every advance brings its own handicap, the Washington Insti- tute of Technology announces devel- opment of a new device which will make every radio station a true avia- tion compass. With this invention, the aviator may now tune in on a station in the eity toward which he {s headed and maintain his direction as long as it stays on the air. The device is far superior to the usual magnetic com- pass because the latter varies in dif- ferent parts of the country and with the seasons. But with most of these devices the aviator also will have to listen to the program. Just imagine the agonies those fellows will have to go through while misguided sopranos screech and tin-pan orchestras hammer away. They will have the satisfac- tion of knowing they are on the Proper course—but what a price they will have to pay for tt. Legalizing Speakeasies One of the odd angles of prohibt- tion repeal came to light the other day in Michigan, when it was an- nounced that state licenses to sell liquor by the glass would be given to a number of persons who had op- erated “blind pigs” in the prohibition era. These licenses, it was said, would go to men who had run “clean, or- derly places” before repeal and who had not been involved in rackets. In one way, this is fair enough. In another, it is strangely illogical. There were speakeasies and speak- easies in the old days, of course. Some be more or less respectable. But all of them were units in a great illegal network, and even the best of them had at least a amall share in supporting those monster underworld rings that mocked at the law. Trying: to figure out now which jones are “deserving cases” is surely about as perplexing and contradic- tory an assignment as any public of- ficial could tackle. Another sad fact is that lots of things you learned at school don't mean a thing when you strike out in this cold world on your own. One thing about legal beer, tt has certainly shifted lots of night truck traffic to the day side. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. and sub-marginal lands. “1. The farm credit adminis- tration should be placed upon a more liberal plan in loaning money on farms, with a reduc- tion in its present interest rate. “8. Production should be re- duced to equal demand through control established at the market, which would regulate the flow of Products in an orderly manner and remove the constant glut and famine that brings about a radi- eal fluctuation in daily price lev- els. This would take away much of the present advantage to the packer and speculator and would bring about a decided reduction in marketing expense. “9. Our monetary system should include ® basic money managed and controlled by government that prices may remain stable. “10.

Joseph Stalin, the head of the Russian government and of the Communist party, spoke. His address was thirty-eight columns long. There is one thing commendable about Stalin. He tells his followers ‘what blunderers they are, when it suits him. Our American demagogues. never do that. They always salute any group controlling a bunch of votes, provided, of course, they are taken care of. Stalin points out this for instance: He says that it is as bad to go too far to the left as it is to go too far to the right. He condemns local national- ism. “‘such as occurred in the Ukraine and White Russia,” and any broader national chauvinism. The true rule is to accept Marx. As, however, there are many interpretations of Marx, he insists that his interpretation must be accepted and obeyed. People must not love their native land. They must love Communism.

TWO OLD TIMERS THAT LIST- LESS AND LETHARGIC FOLK SHOULD KNOW vise different ways of saying in the space of @ short article what a rare were fearful dives, and some tried tol/old timer sgid as succincitly as a Scotchman would send a telegram: “He who would eat much must eat little.” This famous epigram of Cor- naro’s makes people think. Lugi Cornaro (whose life you had better read, if your public library is still open) attained the age of 102 years four centuries ago—equivalent to 200 years today, I should estimate. Yet in his youth he did indeed apply hot and rebellious liquors in his blood and all the other health-destroying and life-shortening evils the roister- Cornaro, like all fools, laughed at) doctors and health rules when he! was & rollicking blade. If his con- seience ever troubled him at all he drowned it out as do all fools. It was) not until he had become what in) these days was regarded as an old) man, nearly forty, that he got hygiene. You know, as burnt out old sinners get religion Cornaro taught two great lessons in hygiene, to all who care to learn how to keep well. First. that one must eat sparingly to live long. Second, |that it is never too late to get hygiene. ‘Then there was another great old timer named George Cheyne found himself at thirty listless, lethargic, short of breath and much overweight. He weighed 448 pounds in fact and in whatever they wore in Scotland early in the eighteénth century. But he didn’t despair. He girded up his loins with a ship's cable and entered upon a reduction regimen, dieting on milk and vegetables chiefly, and grad- In this way Cheyne reduced his weight to 150 pounds and lived to the age of 72 years. His essay on health and long life ts still a classic and his aphorisms contein much wis- dom even for today. This one is quoted in the doctor's bible—Osler’s “Practice”: “Every wise man, after 50, ought to begin to lessen the quantity of his ailment, and if he would con- tinue’ free of great and danger- ous distempers and preserve his For years I have been trying to de-/| ing youth of that day indulged in.! ually accustoming himself to exercise. ; | PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper. Physical condition? (R. B.) Answer—Human beings quickly be- come tolerant to small amounts of sulphur dioxide in the air, but fre- quent exposure causes chronic inflam- mation of the respiratory tract, and of course a gassing by a break in the pipes containing sulphur dioxide may fatally poison. Acute poisoning pro- duces suffocation from spasm of the throat, and burning of the moist ™mucous membranes by the formation of sulphuric acid Sex Is there any rule to determine the sex of the child before birth? (Mrs. Vv. BD) Answer—There is no dearth of | “rules” or methods, but in my opin- ion no one can predetermine the sex of the child.

By fol- lowing instructions in the booklet for ringworm or fungus foot itch I have obtained more relief than I got from much medical treatment. (R. O. H.) Answer—Ringworm, fungus itch, athlete's foot, tricophytosis, gymnast- um or swimming pool itch. Take your choice of names for it. It is a para- sitic infestation and hence belongs in the category with cooties and the like (Copyright, 1834, John F.
