All rights of republication of all uther matter herein are also reserved, Let the Valley Speak Signs multiply that the Missouri river diversion proposal, long a political football, will be kicked around liberally this fall. Politicians in both major parties are trying to appropriate it as a pet issue, use it as a means of gathering votes. This is nothing new. It has been going on, about one thing or another, ever since the grand old game of politics began. But it is time that the river diversion proposal be made something other than a stalking horse. It is time something were done about it or the proposal abandoned. The reason for this need for action lies in a survey of the situation which we people in the Missouri valley are facing and which we probably will continue to face until history grows dim on the wings of time. We people in the valley have stood by while others tried to “get gay” with the Missouri river. We don’t say “our” river because it isn’t ours. God put it here. But certainly we are as interested in this river as folks in other parts of the state have any right to be. It is as much ours as theirs and we already are making some use of it. The trouble is that we are not making enough use of it. A man from Mars—or for that matter one from any other semi- arid region on the globe—would think we were superbly silly to talk of drouth when we have at hand all the water we need to fructify our land. On the face of it, it doesn’t look too intel- ligent. But, even though we learn slowly, we do learn. And in the learning we have come to have a somewhat different view of the Missouri river diversion plan. When originally put forth it seemed a chimerical dream and no one wanted to oppose it. The consideration which} brought it into being was that of how to save Devils lake, once a beautiful body of water and now a stagnant, stinking pool. Then the effects of the drouth were intensified. Every- one realized that the entire state needed water and we, who are primarily interested in the Missouri, had no objection to the use of the flood waters which rush down its course each spring. There was confidence that, if the army engineers built a dam, it would be strong enough to protect those living below it fom calamity. Folks in most of the valley were only mildly interested in the diversion scheme. If it went through it was all right. If it didn’t it was all right. Right there is where the politicians climbed aboard. Here was something which, if everyone did not actively favor it, no one opposed. It was safe and sure as an issue, like the flag, the home and the constitution. They joined in taking it for a ride. But there are signs they had better prepare to unload. If and when the situation gets to the point where advocacy of the diversion dam scheme handicaps other ideas for develop- ment of this valley by use of river water, some real opposition will develop—and quickly. Two studies already have been made of the diversion pro- posal. The first was by private engineers who were retained by diversion advocates. It favored the idea and held it feasible. The second was by army engineers, who rejected it. A third now is being made. In fact, the army engineers are conducting a thoroughgoing examination of the valley to determine where dams might be built and conditions affecting them. : It is sincerely to be hoped their report will be favorable. If it is not, then it is time to drop the diversion scheme, turn to other and more practical means of making use of the river water. Even then, diversion advocates need not be discouraged. Studies made by power engineers show that the interest on the capital cost of a dam would more than pay the cost of installing pumps and power for pumping an equal quantity of water over the Missouri coteau into the center of the state. 5 It was this fact at which President Roosevelt hinted when he told Governor Welford he is interested in pumping from the river. Meanwhile, we folks in the valley hope that the government will continue to be interested in this possibility, for it means much to us in our ideas of future development. God endowed us with a fine water resource and more and cheaper coal than any other state in the union. By putting them together with intelligence we will bring Equal Work: Equal Pay “Equal pay with men for equal work” is a feminine-pro- pelled slogan winging its way around the world these days. And it’s getting results, too. In Paris, for instance, the International Federation of Busi- ness Women has just endorsed the principle. “We don’t want to be known as women chemists, women clave. “We are chemists, artists, and teachers, and we have a right to the salaries appropriate to those professions.” ‘Women’s participation in business and government has long since settled any question of the equality of the sexes.

Maine; Democrats Battle Hard to Offset Heavy Odds. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Portland, Me., Sept. 4..If the na- tion goes as Maine goes this year, it’s going to be just too bad for the New Deal. Most Democrats seem to expect de- feat in the election of Sept. 14 when the state chooses a U. S. senator, a governor, and three representatives. But they are fighting desperately to avert a massacre. High commands of both parties lave been working behind the scenes for months on Maine. This peculiar September election in Maine always creates excitement. If there's oné thing on which Jim Farley and John Hamilton privately agree, it’s the im- portance of the results on the psy- chology of a nation whose voters must choose between Landon and Roosevelt on Nov. 3. A huge Republican victory would be exactly what the G. O. P. could use to wave before that large group of voters—and campaign contributors— who always want to be with the win- ner. * * x Not a Sure Gauge “As Maine goes, so goes the na- tion!” is a slogan rather than a tru- ism. Maine has always gone Repub- lican in presidential years except in the Roosevelt-Taft split in 1912, Although Democrats have won the presidency five times since the Civil War, only one of those times had they won the preceding September election in Maine and that was in 1932, when Roosevelt lost the state to Hoover in the following November just the same. Nevertheless, whenever, there has been a very large September G. O. P. vote, the Republican presidential candidate usually has carried the country. Polls indicate that Maine this year probably is more anti-New Deal than any other state, perhaps excepting Vermont. Maine's frugal citizens are horrified by recent federal spending and increase of the national debt. Republicans whisper of a private state-wide poll which gave Landon 35,992 and Roosevelt 16,660, though they admit their state ticket won't do as well as that. Republican campaign artillery sent to the state or about to arrive in- cludes Col. Frank Knox, ex-Senator Edge of New Jersey, Congressman Hollister of Ohio, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Charles P. Taft. Democratic orators for Maine in- clude Governors Earle of Pennsyl- vania, Curley of Massachusetts, and McNutt of Indiana,- and Senator Wagner of New York, to say nothing of Roosevelt's visit. * * * The Ballot Lineup Republican U. S. Senator Wallace White is opposing Gov. Louis J. Brann, and Secretary of State Louis O. Bar- rows opposes Democratic National Committeeman Harold F. Duboard for the governorship. Democratic Congressman Simon Hamlin is run- ning against James C. Olver in the first congressional district; Democrat Ernest L. McLean against Republican Clyde H. Smith in the second district; and Republican Congressman Ralph Brewster against Wallace H. Mabee in the third district. Favored to win are White, Bar- rows, Brewster, and Curley, with a lone Democrat, McLean, being con- ceded a good chance. A Brann-Dubord victory, even by a small margin, would set most neu- tral political writers to predicting a national Roosevelt landslide in No- vomber. Brann has been the administra- tion’s “white hope.” He is personally popular, personally anti-New Deal, a “good fellow,” dapper but hard-boiled, with a reputation as a vote-getter. * * * Both Candidates Popular Although Brann’s personal popular- ity is tremendous, he has always had to depend on Republican votes and this year, since a party row over dis- missal of the state NEC director, he hasn't had even his own minority party solidly behind him. White is also popular, an organization man who has been in congress since 1917, and a strong campaigner. Two years ago Brann, aided by the “wet” issue, was re-elected governor over a weak, aged opponent. He has since lost the support of several Re- publican newspapers, and ERA scan- dals have done him no good. The governor also has persistently sought removal of State WPA Administrator Albert Abrahamson, who has refused to play politics with relief and has been firmly backed by Harry Hop- kins. Brann treats the New Deal as a li- ability to his candidacy. But many Republicans say they'd rather have a Republican anti-New Dealer in Wash- ington than @ Democrat. On the other hand, New Dealers suspect Brann as a “power trust” friend and reactionary. *e* Some Cheer for Democrats On the other side of the picture, business is improving rapidly in Maine and potatoes are up from 50 or 75 cents to $2 a bushel. Roosevelt's assurance that he hoped to see the Quoddy project continued has helped, along with resentment at reports the O. P. was ridiculing the project over the country. Dubord, energetic and popular, has been campaigning all summer, prais- ing the New Deal. He came within 1,200 votes of beating Senator Fred- erick Hall in 1934. Barrows, a small town druggist long active in Republi- can politics, is not a spectacular cam- paigner or a statesman, but he ts also popular. His chief campaign issues are federal expenditures, the national debt, and failure of Maine to benefit much from AAA. McLean, former mayor of Augusta, seems to Have a chance in the second district, because a Coughlin candidate and a Townsend candidate are ex- pected to cut into Smith’s vote. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1936_ 8s Moines, lowa—September 3 Looking at the Campaign Long Beach, Calif, Sep. 4.— This is the home town of Dr. Francis Townsend of old age pension fame. They boast of other things here be- sides Townsendism, such as a beach! front that is as pretty as anything at) Atlantic City or Miami and @ climate that is balmy and bracing irrespec- tive of season. But it occurred to me there must be a reason why Townsendism flour- ishes in southern California and I) sought an explanation, There were| people who reminded me that Cali-| fornia is the fountain of many original! ideas and that the “lunatic fringe” of Bull Moose days has its counterpart in California,in everything from EPIC doctrine to Communism. The most plausible answer given was the statement that California probably has more old people propor- tionately than any other state would have, that folks come here at ad-| vanced age because of the climatic conditions and that, whether they are supported by relatives who would like to have Uncle Sam relieve them of; the burden, or by meagre savings, the fact remains that Dr. Townsend hit/ upon an idea that won converts by the hundreds of thousands. It naturally spread to other Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain states. There is a close kinship between these states. Senator Borah. was talking to me about it the other day. He} spoke of the many Idaho people who go to California and afterwards keep up a constant correspondence with relatives in Idaho. He seemed | think Idaho, for instance, was some- what California-conscious.

But, on the whole, the Townsend contingent favors $200 a month by) means of federal spending. And, strictly speaking, the New Deal ad- ministration, which believes in spend- ing, no matter where the money is coming from to pay it back, has more in common with the Townsendites than has Governor Landon. But the Roosevelt administration, through its cabinet officers and other spokesmen, has ridiculed the Town- send plan. What then are the Town- sendites to do? They would like to demonstrate their strength. They would like to show both parties that they are growing and that they can Prisoner—Judge, must I be tried by , that jury with all those women on it?

DIABETES AND ALCOHOL Some time ago my husband wrote to you about his diabetes. He was has great respect for your views . very grateful for your reply. He tite: From now on, though, he will not think so much knew it to fail... ‘Would you please tell me what effect drinking has on any one with diabetes. My husband lives up to the doctor’s orders and is very faithful in everything relating to diet and insulin treatment, but thinks whiskey is good for him, although he doesn’t take any beer on account of the sugar in it. I fear he is drinking too much. One or two drinks may be all right, oa takes much more than that. % am sure he will follow your advice. D. W.) Formerly, in the “starvation” or fasting treatment, from one to two ounces of whiskey, brandy, rum or gin was sometimes prescribed to furnish some célories (about 200 calories in the burning of the alcohol in two ounces of one of the liquors named), but the practice was discarded when it was found that alcohol produces a return of sugar in the urine when taken in quantities exceeding the patient’s caloric tolerance. For good reasons, physicians skilled in the management of diabetes sel- dom prescribe or permit the patient to take alcohol. It is likely to bring on protracted alcoholic neuritis. Patients with such a chronic disease are likely to contract a dangerous habit. If a diabetes patient who happens to have taken a drink or two suffers either insulin shock or diabetic coma bystand- ers are likely to mistake his condition for intoxication—which might mean fatal neglect. Finally, in everyday practice it seems that patients get along best without alcohol. Now, Madam, before your husband dismisses me as his long distance health advisor, let me offer a suggestion which can do no harm and may do much good. Numerous investigators have found that an adequate ration of vitamin B promotes carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin B may be fairly called “poor man’s insulin.” receive sufficient vitamin B require less insulin to keep them sugar free. Of course most if not all natural sources of vitamin B contain more or less starch or sugar, and anything of the sort the diabetes patient takes must be carefully computed in the diet, and so the attending physician should advise how best to get vitamin B or approve the form in which the patient Purposes to take it. Vitamin B is rather beneficial to the. heart muscle and to the muscle of the alimentary tract, and an adequate daily intake tends to maintain good circulation and vigorous digestion. Pure wheat germ is the richest known source of vitamin B, containing about 13 units to the gram or 354 to the ounce. But wheat germ contains about 40% carbohydrate. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS .

Besides, you need a haircut!” Ann laughed softly. So Lefty's wife was back from Europe! No man can consider himself a gay Philanderer when there is a fo- male around to tell him to go get his hair cut. When Lefty spoke to Ann on the dock, he did it sheepishly, and his wife gave him a look that squelched him completely. Mr. and Mrs. Ponds took the boat to the village. The same ferry that took Lefty and his wife to the village brought back Jaime as a paseenger. He was smiling and gay; Ann saw him from afar and waved. At the sound of his voice something still tightened in her throat. “I've been looking for you everywhere!” he said. He nodded at Ralph, who moved away to watch the swimmers. Jaime took Ann to the end of the dock for a private chat. His voice didn’t tise above a whisper. He sat there, looking into her eyes. For first.time Ann felt that he turned on his charm, as one turns on water from a faucet. “I couldn't find you last night,” Jaime said. “Where were you?” He went on, without waiting for an answer, “Darling, what do you say—this is our last chance to run up to Canada for a week-end? It’s your last week-end in the mountains. Don’t be a silly, un- Idly girl. You can check out of the hotel, bid the porch-sitters adieux, anéT'll drive you back to the city from: Canada.” NN looked at him, and sud- denly she felt that she was aware of his real character. She knew she was completely aware of herself. If she were responsible to no one but herself on vacation, then she’d meet that responsibil- ity. She was not going to take a week-end trip with Jaime, no matter how harmless it seemed. “But why —why leave this adorable said. . He was like a petulant child. “Darling!

He had avoided the sub- ject as though it were talk of the plague. In stern contrast to Jaime’s fur- tive way of showing his affection there was Bill Ware's honest avowal of love. ee 8 'N this moment of realization Ann wanted to see Bill, to tell him how glad she was merely to know him. “If you like to be with me, Jaime,” she said, “it will have to be here. I can’t go to Canada with you.” When she looked up at the petulant frown on Jaime’s face, she felt she was looking at a total stranger. She hadn’t really known him until now. t She got up, and took a running dive into the water. Her head bobbed up, and she looked back at Jaime, laughing. He said, “I have to go back to the betting room to see how the races are going. I'll give you a ring at the hotel.” He walked toward the boathouse to take the ferry back across the lake. A ae walking cova “on shore, deeply engrossed 01 when he recognized Ann’s green bathing cap out among the swim- mers. He waved and she swam to the dock to greet him. His face was troubled. He looked haggard and wan. “What is it, Bill?” Ann asked. “You look as if you've seen @ ghost.” She came up out of the water. He led her aside, and said, “Last night some bonds were stolen from the manager's safe. After ‘we came down from the moun- tain I slept late. When I awoke shortly after noon there was a detective rummaging about in my room. He found a wrapper ‘there —the wrapper that had been around the bonds in the safe.'’ Bill ran a hand through his blond hair, “I don’t know how the wrapper got there! The whole thing is absurd, I couldn’t have taken the use you and I were marooned in the lean-to high up on the mountain all night. But I couldn’t use that as an alibi.” Ann’s hand flew to her throat, That was Bill Ware, trying to shield her at all events. He did have a fine character.
