OLITICS ‘With charity for all and malice toward none The Drouth and Politics Drouth—and its implications—was the big political news in North Da- kote this week, Not that drouth and are naturally mixed, but that the politi- cians and the various political parties are attempting to put themselves in position to claim that they are doing most to aid the people suffering from |. natural calamity. ‘ IHBALTH SUPERVISOR IS OFFICIAL GUEST AT CAMP GRASSICK Staff Is Caring for 65 Children, |= Director States; Mott Chorus Donates $35.73 ‘Miss Edna Gerken, Washington, ater of health service for The administration, in position to/ Suest give the most help, moved WPA and| Tesettlement into the breach. They would have had to do it if this were not an election year but, since this is an election year, they hope to -get Political credit for it in November. The Republicans this when John Hamilton, the chief G.OP,| spokesman during the silence of Gov- ernor Landon before his official nom- ination, told the world that any party ‘would do the same thing. The Republicans are somewhat han- dicapped in their appeal since their original aim was to t them- selves as budget balancers and the drouth area now is more interested in relief than a balanced budget. All in the Same Boat In the state the same situation pre- vailed with all Republican factions as well as the Democrats holding them- selves out as the friend of the hard- pressed farmer. Some North Dakota Democrats were none too pleased when it became evi- dent that WPA was to be the major relief agency with Tom Moodie in the saddle. Moodie has run his own show and hasn’t listened much to the po- litical soothsayers in his own party. He actually believes that relief is above political considerations and has acted on that basis. ‘Those who would like to turn the ‘WPA into a political fleshpot are not pleased, but it probably will turn out to be the best politics in the end. ‘The Welford Republicans are strug- gling mightily to get in on the credit for drouth relief and are doing what they can to assist without appearing, to be @ tail to the Democratic WPA kite. Their actual participation in relief work has been Leiner ano ing but they are wor! ona = gram for legislation—to be enacted next winter—with which they hope to impress the people. in The Cold—In This Heat Out in the cold—despite the heat— is the Langer faction of the Repub- lican party which also is strving to let the people know that they would be doing a lot—if they. only had the chance. Some pathos and considerable hu- mor attended his efforts when Langer —heretofore one of the severest crit- ics of President Roosevelt and the administration — wired the president that the people of the state are de- pending on him to “continue the noble humanitarian work” which has been carried on here and offering to help. Just what help he could give ‘was not mentioned and no one who has any knowledge of the situation could figure out how the former gov- ernor could be of any more assistance than any other private citizen—if as much, By his own confession in the past he hasn’t been very popular with the Roosevelt administriation. This attitude, however, was not en- tirely unexpected even though it rep- resents a marked shift in the Langer attitude. As long as friends con- trolled the Repub! machinery he was a dyed-in. wool Republican but when they lost control his tune began to change. Toward the end of vrei primary campaign he wes mentioning “out wonderful president” and making other pacific gestures toward the na- tional administration. The answer is that Roosevelt's popularity promised to increase with the drouth in this area and Langer was among the first to sense it. Not Decided Yet If Langer runs as an Independent candidate in the fall—and it is by no means certain are nie none ple may expect to hear Roosevelt to the skies and condemn- ing the Republicans who have only recently been so dear to his heart. Much doubt rig tul the Langer proposal to run for governor as an The Leader, his pub- Anti-Tuberculosis association located on Lake Isabel at Dawson and in Bis- marck since Wednesday, observing the work which is being done at the cam) North Dakote.

Wheat advanced an average of 3% cents. The government reported the na- tion had poorer crop prospects on July 1 than at the same period in any previous year except 1934.

COUGHLIN PREDICTS LEMKE'S LECTION Says Neither Roosevelt Nor Landon Can Command Eleo- toral Majority urday that Congressman Willism Lemke of North Dakota, Union party candidate, will be the next president of the United States and John Gar- ner, vice president. Father Coughlin came here ‘‘to feel the state's political pulse” and to con- fer with state officials of his Na- tional Union for Social Justice. He said he planned to leave Saturday night for Royal Oak, Mich. Criticizing both President Roose- velt and Alf M. Landon, Republican candidate, Father Coughlin reiterated & previous forecast that neither would be able to command a majority of electoral votes and the election would be thrown into the house of repre- sentatives. When this occurs, he continued, Lemke will emerge victor because “I believe we will have more states friendly to us than either the Demo- crats or Republicans. . The senate, in my opinion, will elect Garner, Democrat, vice president.” He pointed out that each state would have one vote for president if the election is decided by the house. WAYS T0 KEEP COOL GIVEN BY DOCTORS Several Suggestions Are Given to Aid Heat Sufferers to Keep Comfortable Four suggestions for keeping cool and detailed directions for so doing were offered Saturday by Quain and Ramstad clinic physicians at the sug- gestion of The Tribune. In brief, the four things to be done are to increase heat elimination, de- crease heat production in the body, eat light and easily digestible foods and to maintain heat regulating cen- ters of the body in the best possible condition. To increase heat elimination, the doctors advise increase of perspira- tion. This can be done by drinking 12 to 14 glasses of water daily in fre- quent small quantities rather than in large drinks at protracted intervals. Carbonated water is preferred. Table salt should be used in larger amounts | than usual, the amount suggested be- ing 1 teaspoon per day either on food or in water, Liberal use of fruit juices: is advised. To keep the body more comfortable, frequent cool baths are suggested, the use of light, thin, non-constricting clothing and, when possible, nocloth- ing at all. Exposure of air currents is refreshing, the air coming either from electric fans or breezes through open shaded windows. To decrease heat production, re- duce muscular exercise as much possible. Work during the cool of the day and rest during the hottest hours. If this is impossible, alternate work with rest periods. Eat light and easily digestible foods, largely con- sisting of carbohydrates because they are assimilated so much more readily than fats and proteins. Again, the use of fruit juices in the diet is stressed. Minimum exposure to heat and direct rays of the sun should be sought. If necessary to be in the sun, one should wear a straw hat or tropical helmet. production, it is advisable to avoid all alcoholic beverages, narcotics, coffee, tea and tobacco because all have an unfavorable effect on the heat regu- lating mechanism. If they are used at all, moderation should be observed. Grass Fire Menaces HOT NEWS JAMESTOWN UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE 106 BOYS Jamestown, N.

HEAT KILLS TURKEY HEN, CONGEALS EGGS Peter Gartner, farmer southeast of Glen Ullin, brought a story of the burning heat to Mandan Saturday. He said that two turkey hens were in the same condition. DOFFS UNDERWEAR FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE time to discard long underwear, he said Saturday. Roth who will celebrate his 74th birthday August 19, declared he has worn long underwear all his life but urged by a sun that has pushed the mercury above the century mark for the eighth consecutive day has pur- chased light-weight shorts. ICE MINE Is LOCATED AT FORKS Grand Forks, N. D., July 11—()}—| ‘With the temperature 108 in the shade, workmen employed on the Grand Forks sewage disposal plant an ice mine. Friday afternoon in the hottest por-| tion of the day the steam shovel struck a layer of hard ground. In- vestigation showed it was a sheet of frozen ground about a foot thick, that probably formed last February when the temperatures were in the lower forties. ‘The frozen ground was removed by) hand while the machine waited. FOOD PRICES SOAR AS DROUTH GETS WORSE Chicago, July 11.— (#) —Drouth, which sooner or later touches con- sumers’ pocketbooks as it does farm- ers’ crops, has increased wholesale food commodity prices in some cases as much as 50 per cent in the last three weeks. Statisticians said Saturday this de- velopment would affect the cost of food at retail counters in varying de- grees. In the prices of some articles, such as butter and eggs, and a few vegetables, they said, the influence of the drouth already was apparent. ‘The national ‘industrial conference board reported the cost of living of wage. earners rose 1.7 per cent in June and was more than four per cent higher than a year ago.

The fire front, nearly a half mile wide, was said to be sweeping into the John Tavis farm where two straw stacks blazed in the barnyard. Volunteer fighters were concentrating their efforts to cut off the blaze at this point, it was reported. The fire started about 11 a. m., sweeping up the slope from the Northern Pacific railroad cut.
