In this region most of the moisture which falls as rain comes from the great lakes. Wind blowing over those bodies of water becomes saturated. ‘The warmer the wind, generally speaking, the more water it can hold. Normally the wind direction across America is eastward, but low-pressure areas, moving slowly across the coun- ‘try, sometimes reverse this and we, in North Dakota, get the east wind which we associate with rain. farmer and the normal ineptitude of government bureaucracy. The best that can come of it will be stimulation of the cooperative spirit so that farmers will be able to get together and act in concert with- out the bait of allotment payments to tempt them. The Bicycle Comes Back Don't be surprised if a movement to make provision for the bicyclist on our highways gains such promi- nence in the next year or two as to force a revision of our present road plans. ‘The foundation for such a develop- ment was laid the other day when the League of American Wheelmen was revived in New York with, of all things, a vice president of the Gen- eral Motors Corporation as its presi- dent. The idea is to restore to popularity ® form of exercise which once loom- ed large on the American scene. The original L. A. W., as it came to be known played, in its day, a part comparable to that of the American Automobile association. Under its auspices thousands of men and boys took part in contests and races throughout the country and cycling competitions were common. At that time, of course, the bicycle was re- garded as big advance in personal transportation and, quite naturally, attained social significance with the development of the “bicycle built for Entering the low-pressure area, the air has a tendency to expand and thus let the water drop. It ts all beautifully simple and effective— when it works. Rainfall which occurs in this sec- tion in the form of showers usually comes from the Gulf of Mexico. Sweeping a thousand miles or more ‘up from the gulf, the warm, mois- ture-laden winds come in contact with winds from the north. They are chilled and the process contracts the air holding the water, squeezing the moisture out. When this is done quickly cloudbursts occur. This situa- tion, also, is responsible for destruc- tive hailstorms, for sometimes the cold air current is frigid enough to freeze the rain before it hits the ground, Just why it is that this rain-mak- ing process has been stopped this spring puzzles the scientist as well as the farmer. Some attribute it to sun spots which, for some unexplain- ed reason, have long been credited with affecting our weather. It seems more logical, however, to attribute the current dryness to a Jack of moisture in the air. It may be that some mysterious change has occurred which prevents the wind from absorbing moisture when pass- ing over water, but “all that goes up must come down,” to quote an an- cient nursery rhyme, and it would @egm that if the air held normal mounts of water we would be *t- ‘ting our share, or at least the @routh would not be nearly so wide- epread. Clearly, man’s activities haven't helped nature to maintain the bal- @nce which we now find we need. {The drainage of tremendous swamp reas in northern Minnesota cannot have helped our rainfall situation.

It has been a year of tremendous growth and activity, for this young- eter was required to do things which fre unparalleled in the modern his- tory of the world.

One of the big items on the new cycling program is to reclaim a part. of the highways for the use of cyclists, now faced with the danger of meeting motor cars traveling at a mile-a-minute clip. Also, it hopes to Te-establish in the modern mind a higher regard for a wholesome sport. Many a man would ride a bicycle to- day did he not fear the ridicule of his neighbors, whose prejudices have been nurtured on the gasoline age.

V. A.” conven- tion, which it was not. It was a con- vention of Republicans, independent Republicans as contrasted with Non- n Leaguers who have always registered in the primaries under the Republican column. The old Independent Voters asso- ciation was composed of Republicans and Democrats alike who saw the need of a coalition of forces to com- bat the socialistic doctrines of Town- ley, Walter Thomas Mills, and their ilk who were ravaging the state.

SOME FURTHER LUCUBRATIONS ON LUBRICATION Notwithstanding much dilettant study I have never discovered just why an automobile goes when you Press the button. I shall never get over feeling astonished and delighted whenever I see one start off. Once I bought some books about automobiles and studied them diligently, but it ‘was all so confusing. Then I took to hanging around garages and watching mechanics take ’em apart and still I got no light on it. Now and then I timidly asked questions, but I soon found that would not do for they ob- viously thought I was queer—full of dope, probably. So I gave up trying to understand what makes them go. For this reason I have unbounded admiration for the chap who can just listen or push the car about a bit or drive it a few yards and diagnose in- stantly what’s wrong with it. But there's plenty of quackery in more trades than one. When my car is not running right I am precisely in the Position of the average individual who feels that his digestion is out of kilter or his nerves are all shot. I'm easy meat for the unscrupulous expert. Take the matter of lubrication for example. If I heed only the teac! or advice of the quacks who profit on my credulity this item is going to cost me quite a bit. On the other hand, if I listen to competent en- gineers who have nothing to sell to me I can effect a saving and still have good lubrication. People who depend on the instruc- tion and advice of vendors of lubri- cants or physics are quite likely to have morbid sessions which cost plenty from year to year, not to men- tion the effect of physics on health. The fad or fashion has swung from. pills to mineral oil, and then to agar- agar (seaweed) and lately to peyllium seed, following more or less the vogue of these things among the leading quacks in our regular professional ranks. Bran has been incorporated in the mash, too, sometimes with ordi- nary foods, sometimes mixed with agar-agar and even with mineral oil in various so-called “health” foods. All of these new-fangled “aids” to “nature” have been exploited because the general public knew little about them and readily believed whatever the big shots pleased to say. Plain plebian flax seed, which in my opinion is the best and least ob- Jectionable internal lubricant one can. use, has been scorned by the wiseacre public because the public was fairly familiar with this ancient household remedy and could not believe it has any virtue for such & purpose. A few of our leading quacks still utter warnings against the use of such seeds in certain cases, for instance ulcer of stomach, duodenum or colon. In such cases the best course is to follow the advice of the attending physician. For all ordinary persons, however, a spoonful or two of plain whole raw flaxseeds, of course clean, washed with water if necessary, may be taken daily for a time, in lieu of all other physics or laxatives, with nothing but bene- fit. The demulcent effect of the swel- ling and softening and liquefaction of the flaxseeds in the digestive tract most nearly resembles the normal or natural secretion of mucus that keeps the tract properly lubricated in health, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Arthritis Relieved About a year ago I wrote you about |my excess weight. By following your | regimen I reduced 30 pounds—in about. three months. Best of all, the arth- ritis from which I had suffered for years has been wonderfully relieved, (Mrs. H. W. 8.) Answer—That may be an effect of the reduction regiment, but on the other hand it is as likely to be merely @ coincidence. Only way we can set- tle the point is to try it on a few hun- dred overweight individuals who have chronic arthritis, especially the form in which nodes develop first about the finger points. Such persons should study these “Little Lessons”—(1) The Tils Called Rheumatism, (2) Regener- ation Regimen and (3) Design for Dwindling. The booklets are 10 cents each.

Can get no information from the clinic. They seem anxious to have me take some treatment there, I don’t understand what for . . . (Mra. H. G.) Answer—Stroke or shock is due to hemorrhage into the brain, from rup- ture of a small artery which has been long affected by arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Nothing contagious about it. Even if your husband's condition is actual locomo- tor ataxia—that is a slow develop- ment of partial paralysis due to in- volvement of the spinal cord in the third or later stage of syphilis—the trouble is no longer communicable. But you may have contracted syphilis from him many years ago when he had the first or secondary stage—in the primary and secondary stages the disease is communicable, but in the third and later stages it is slightly or not at all communicable. If you are having any trouble with health at all it might be wise for you to receive some treatment. But do not confuse apoplexy, hemorrhage in the brain, a stroke or shock of paralysis, with lo- comotor ataxia. Any one whose ar- teries are involved in arteriosclerosis may have a stroke; only a person with syphilis can suffer locomotor ataxia or paresis (softening of the brain). (Copyright 1934, John F.

TRIAL OF TRIO ON CHARGE OF AIDING DILLINGER BEGINS Sweetheart, Physician and Nurse Face Jury; Missing Witness Found St. Paul, May 15.—(#)—Three per- sons went on trial Tuesday on charges of harboring John Dillinger, notorious criminal. One was his sweetheart, Evelyn Frechette, who, the government con- tends, slammed a door in the face of officers as Dillinger and Homer Van Meter, his henchman, shot their way out of an apartment here March 31. The other two were Dr, Clayton May, Minneapolis physician, and his nurse, Mrs. Augusta Salt, alleged to have treated wounds Dillinger received in fleeing from the apartment. The government's principal witness is Mrs. Dolores Smart of Minneapolis, | 15 who, after being reported missing, turned up late Monday at the office of the U. 8. district attorney. She is alleged to have accompanied Dr. May when he went to an apartment to treat the gunman. Four other persons have been in- dicted on the charge. Three, still at Frechette, said she was the wife of to enable the borrower to save on interest costs and be sure of having the money when he needs it through- out the season to finish his crops or livestock operations. The interest rate on loans, recently reduced to 5% per cent per annum, is charged only for the time the money is being used and payable when the loan is due. Some farmers are saving from one- fourth to one-half on interest costs by getting loans on an installment basis. “Another new feature of the pro- duction loans allows a farmer or stockman to apply for a loan and establish a line of credit which is used to make cash purchases of live- stock or work-stock, the association taking a chattel mortgage on the stock purchased as part of the security for the loan. “The association was organized un- der the Farm Credit administration to be a permanent source of agricul- tural and livestock credit for this sec- tion,” Larson said, “and it now has facilities, capable of fulfilling that Taylor to Graduate Class of 15 May 25 Taylor, N.
