Memorial Day Wreaths ate being laid on the Braves of the nation’s heroes today in recognition of their services and sacrifices. Men of all wars are in- cluded, but the origin of the observ- |nce goes back to 1868 when the Civil ‘war still was fresh in the minds of the American people, with all its bit- terness and hatred. At that time the terms “Yank” and “Rebel” still were current in the language and residents of both the North and South would have con- sidered it a sort of treason to deco- rate the graves of men who died un- Ger the flag of the late enemy. How far the nation has progressed toward a real spirit of unity is illus- trated by the fact that today the sprinkling of Confederate veterans who have found a resting place in our local cemetery will find their @raves decorated with the same lov- ing care that is bestowed upon the tombs of Union heroes. For Memorial Day has taken on, with the passage of the years, a deep national significance. It now is the symbol of American unity, just as the Fourth of July commemorates our national birthday. Never again, despite sectional differences in poli- tics and economics, will this nation Tesort to war to settle its disagree- ments. The graves of men in blue and gray alike give mute testimony that in such @ course lies destruc- tion. Here and there throughout the na- tion, to be sure, there occasionally crops up a proposal’ to secede from the Union. Even here in North Da- kota, where the average of patriotism is as high as it is anywhere, such ideas have been broached. But the unanimity with which these sugges- tions have been voted down proves definitely that the men who fought from 1861 to 1865 did not suffer in vain. That struggle settled, once and for all, the fact that the United States are one and indivisible, now and forever, This day serves, too, as a conven- ient period in which to check up on the situation of the nation with re- gard to future wars. It is a vantage point from which to look forward as well as backward. And, just as the blood and tears of a past generation were necessary to bring a clearer understanding and the development of a truly national spirit, so does the future seem cloud- ed with doubt. America still ranks as the wealth- fest among all the nations. It is cordially hated in many parts of the globe for that reason. Our national diplomacy, filled with errors and ges- tures over a long period of years, has not been conducive to world-wide re- spect. The world still is an armed camp and there hovers always be- fore us the possibility of another con- flict in which another generation of American boys may be asked to go down into the valley of shadows that the nation may be preserved. With all its heart America cries out that it wants no more war. It seeks, as best it can, to lead the na- tions toward the goal of universal peace, but it cannot forget the pos- sibility that these efforts will be in vain. It would like to beat its swords into ploughshares but the simple fact is that it doesn’t dare. For nations learn slowly at best nd some never learn at all. It cost the United States millions of lives and billions in treasure to learn the lesson of unity. We might think about this even as we acclaim the records of the men who have distin- guished themselves in time of na- selling delinquent taxes was devised to provide political subdivisions with funds for current operations, regard- less of the will or ability of the tax- payer to pay on time. ‘The taxes were easily salable, in most instances, because rates of in- terest were high and people with idle money found them a good investment. Often it resulted in the acquisition of land at little cost and some sizable fortunes were based on such invest- ments. Recently, however, tax sales have been unattended by anyone except the officials appointed to offer them to the public. No money has been received because investors no longer are interested. The result is to bring 09| about @ situation which has long been advocated by some tax reform- ers, that in which the county takes title to the land after a period of delinquency, eliminating the allegedly “scalping” practice of tax sales. ‘This is the system used in most of, the commonwealths which have been established for longer periods of time than our own. In most states, when taxes have been delinquent for a specified period of time, the property is sold for whatever it will bring and the deal is closed. Titles to property So obtained are invariably held good by the courts and there is very little legal fol de rol about it. The current situation in North Da- kota is brought forcibly to attention by @ recent study under the direc- tion of Dr. P. F. Trowbridge, direc- tor of the state experimental station at the State Agricultural college. It disclosed not only the disinclination by investors to put their money into tax purchases but also inspired the doctor to comment that one of the state's vital needs is a better system of land valuation for tax purposes, since wide discrepancies in the valua- tion of farm land were disclosed, When the Law Speaks ‘The language of the law can be a delight to the layman—when it isn’t ® pain in the neck. In Italy a farmer let a pig stray into the road. A motorist swerved aside when the pig refused to move, and damaged his car. He sued the farmer for damages, holding the farmer responsible for the pig’s acts. ‘The case finally reached the supreme court, which rendered its decision as follows; “When the comportment of an animal, without going into the hy- Potheses of fault or force majeure, sets in motion elements which other- wise would have remained inert, and these elements in turn, through no fault of their own, but due to the animal's comportment, cause damage to be done, the causal connection be- tween the comportment of the ani- mal, for which the law holds the proprietor to be responsible, and the occurrence causing the damage, ap- pears to be uninterrupted.” In other words—the owner of the pig was responsible, and had to pay. Sidelight on Business The assertion of a federal trade commission investigator that Henry L. Doherty obtained control of the billion-dollar Cities Service Co. with an investment of only $1,000,000 brings into light one of the strang- est quirks of modern society—the di- vorce that can exist between owner- ship and management. Control of a great property, that is to say, can rest in the hands of a man who actually owns only a very small fraction of the property. On the other hand, thousands of people can be owners without ever having anything consequential to say about what shall be done with their prop- erty. This, of course, is not to say that any criticism attaches to men who buy control of a corporation without buying majority ownership, It sim- ply illustrates the strange course that corporate development has taken in modern times.

Address Dr. William Brady, WHY ALL THE CRI IN THE WINTER? One of the stock arguments of ad- vocates of the cold delusion is that acute respiratory ailments prevail chiefly in the winter or the colder part of the year. That is true. It ap- Plies, however, as well to diptheria, epidemic meningitis, scarlet fever and other respiratory infections as it does to coryza, bronchitis or pneumonia. In the colder months of the year, People are housed up and coddled more than in the warmer months. They get less sunshine on naked skin. They take less open air exercise. And they are more crowded together in Poorly ventilated rooms where they come into closer contact with persons who have the cri. The experience of the builders of the Panama Canal with pneumonia and the experience of the British with pneumonia on the Rand in South Africa showed clearly that overcrowd- ing of men in barracks or living quar- ters was the important factor. In both places when the men were pro- vided with more room to live and sleep in, pneumonia ceased to handi- cap the work. As for exposure to cold and wet, the experience of all polar explorers, woodsmen, hunters, who suffer severe exposure, far outweighs the popular notion. It is strange that people who have had the least experience with exposure are most positive that it is @ dangerous thing; and those who have endured the bitterest exposure to cold and wet have the least fear of it, for they know that aside from ex- haustion and freezing it never causes or predisposes to any illness, - Eliminate the factor of intimate contact with individuals who happen to be carriers of infection or who are just coming down with or just recov- ering from some acute respiratory in- fection, and the rest of the evidence favoring the theory of illness or “low- ering of resistance” by cold becomes insignificant.

Even where special provision for maintaining a better humidity is made, if the tem- perature rises much above 68 degrees F. it is almost impossible to keep the humidity as high as it shoud be— that is, as high as it is in open air at that temperature on a pleasant autumn or spring day. We do not know just how much influence the factor of aridity of the air may have on the individual's natural immunity, but physicians generally believe it is @ factor of chronic respiratory diseas- es at least. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Immunization Had three injections given to me in the C.C.C.’s, one for typhoid and the others for other diseases. Would it harm me to take these injections again if I have to? (C. J., Jr.) Answer—The bacterin of “vaccine” injected hypodermically to immunize against typhoid fever also contains the bacterin necessary to immunize against para-typhoid-A and paraty- phoid-B. Usually this is administered in three successive doses at intervals of a week or more. No harm in hav- ing that or other bacterins or serums subsequently. Syrup and Sugar ‘We use considerable corn syrup (dark). Is it wholesome? Would it be as well to make our own syrup from cane sugar or brown sugar with flavor added? Which is better, beet sugar, corn sugar or cane sugar? (Mrs. F. G.) Answer—They are all equally whole- people who cherish the obsession of “taking cold” absorb little or no sun- shine.

Mickey Leads the Way (From the Rotarian Magazine) A news dispatch from Geneva an- nounces that the League of Nations has unfurrowed its brow long enough te give Mr. Mickey Mouse's back an approving pat. Moreover, its Com- mittee on Child Welfare is keenly in favor of an international treaty to permit Mickey's and other approved films duty-free privileges in countries that are members of the League. For this, Mickey should register glee—perhaps not as much as a glance to ‘Thru the colder months of the year Schools, dwellings, offices, stores, theaters, workrooms, conveyances and nearly every other place except per- haps churches are generally over- heated. So few people spend so little time in church anyway that it doesn’t make much difference if the air there is more healthful. Aside from the discomfort caused by overheating, it probably does no great harm in itself. But wherever the air is overheated it is sure to be excessively dried out, and the lack FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: ‘RES. U. 8. PAT.O some and nutritious. Suit your taste and pocketbook.

PTO Nei ONCE EVERY YEAR By Bruce Catton Once every year the bronzed young ghosts stir from etérnal slumber, And in a million graves the dust gives up a nation’s sons: ° They form in ranks, and sound their drums, and in unending number Come tramping down the golden years with sunlight on their guns. They search the slope at Gettysburg and find the green wheat growing Where death swept down on clanging wings and drenched the land in blood; Above the Vicksburg swamps they find a lazy May-breeze blowing To sway the grass that grows where shells once buried men in mud. The Wilderness is cool and still, and busy squirrels chatter To emphasize the peace that fills the aisles beneath the trees; On Alabama’s sands the sea-gull’s cries are all that shatter The silence where Fort Morgan’s ruins front the southern seas. And Sharpsburg creek runs clear and clean, and growing grape vines tangle Along the ridge at Fredericksburg, that spouted iron doom; The birds nest in the brambles by the famous Bloody Angle, And Shiloh’s field is white again with apple trees in bloom. Thus once a year the dead march out, with ancient banners flying— Those wistful phantoms in their faded cloaks of blue and gray; They look upon a land at peace, and find it worth the dying... And go to sleep again, contented, on Memorial Day. A Copyright, 1934, NEA Service. SYNOPSIS ly materialism, Diane thought Ann Haskel and Nance and Jeff.
