COLLEGE MAN IS
NO POLITICIAN
Lincoln stetfens Declares Typical
American Institution Narrow,
Mans Viewpoint of Big Issues.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. b.-The
college man is not good politician.
according to Lincoln Steffins. In the
Yale News today.
From my standpoint" is his opin-
ion, Il consider that the typical Amer
ican college. instead OF broadening
the viewpoint OF the man, tends great
ly to narrow IL. The college man
comes out with the opinion that hs
knows IL all.
z Another thing that the college man
must break away from before he VIII
be able to sway the masses is social
distinction. I saw emphatically that
the American college system takes
out OF the American youth all thai
Unborn democracy which he ought 70

higher than they are today, az the re-
suit or a reduced supply.
On this date, a year ago, sheep and
lambs were pouring into western
markets at record-breaking rate. Be-
ginning with the month of August
1910. the market was glutted with
sheep and lambs nearly all the time
and this variety OF live stock has been
In the slough of despond" ever since.
Lamb feeders were nibbling on this
date last year and the alacrity with
which they absorbed the immense Of
ferings Is still a matter Of comment
among those familiar with recent
market history. Values all along the
line we're so cents to 81 per cwt. higher
than now, and the damage sustained
by the American lamb feeders on the
seasons crop run well up into six
figures.
Prior TO last year, there we're In this
country thousands OF well-to-do farm
ers, who were persistent In the habit
OF feeding large band of lambs.
every year, justifying their course
with the argument that lambs will
make 81 clear money for every dollar
made by feeding cattle or hogs. The
feeding season, last year, gave lamb.
feeding enthusiasm a bad jolt and
would-be feeders are taking into more
careful consideration the important
item OF feeder cost.
The trouble with the system" last
year was that the market continued 10
decline, until the beginning OF the
spring market season. when finished
lambs we're selling so to rs cents per
cwt. lower than the fall cost OF the
feeding stock from which they were
made On general principles. the
feeding season for lambs. which Is now
just ahead should prove much more
profitable than that OF last year
simply, because the primary cost OF
the lamb is much lover.

WIFE INSANE ON
|. BEDBUGs, He SAYS
John Neukom Tells Court He Was
Frequently Reused at Night To
Search for vermin.

Alleging that his wife is insane on
the question OF bedbugs. John Neu-
kom brought suit for divorce In
Judge Donovan's court. Wednesday
afternoon. Mrs Neukom is the wo-
man who last February successfully
eluded the officers after she had been
committed to Eloise for observation
as to her mental condition.
Neukom testified that many times
his wife compelled him TO get up In
the night and look for bedbugs, and
made him brush OF the furniture TO
see II any vermin had reached IT,.
During the day, he said. she would
collect al the bugs OF every descrip-
ton she could find. and then want
him TO classify them when he came
home. II he refused she would take
them to the neighbors. Neukom also
he was compelled TO brush on the
furniture for fear the visitors had
brought bedbugs into the house.
In returning from his work Neukom
frequently walked along the railway
trek, and he said his wife made him
remove his shoes before entering the
house, fearing that he might track
human blood on the carpets.
During the trial Attorney j. B.
Houck, for Mrs Neukom. insinuated
that Neukom was too friendly with
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Harry Dalton.
That's a lie," shouted Dalton, who
sat In the back seat. and Attorney
Thomas Payne, for Neukom, threat
ened to break Houck's head II he re-
peated such a charge. Judge Dono
van threatened all parties with con-
tempt IL they created any more
disturbance
Neukom admitted under cross-ex-
animation that he had slapped his
wife few times, but had never hurt
her badly. The couple have one daugh-
ter, now seven years old, who lives
with her father. Mrs. Neukom viii
attempt TO get possession of the child
Judge Donovan also heard evidence
Wednesday afternoon In the case Of
Augusta VS.. George Nau. RMS. Nau
charged her husband with drunken
ness. Nau admitted that he has been
addicted TO the use OF liquor, but says
he has sworn on, and pleaded for
another chance to make up and live
with his wife.
Il don't believe any of his prom
ises," Mrs. Nau said He has broken
too many promises already"
is II not true that Judge Murphy
scolded you when he smelled liquor
on your breath when you were In the
witness chair last February" Mrs
Nau was asked
Yes, but | had taken only one
glass of beer" she replied.
The case was continued to permit
of the introduction Of more witnesses.

EXPLAINS HOW TO
PROTECT CHILDREN


LANSING, Oct. 6.---The importance
~ proventing widespread epidemics OF
*1ooDing-cough and measles does not
appear TO have been sufficiently i'm
pressed upon, the minds OF the public, :
41ys DR.. Dixon, secretary of the state
board OF health. There are a num-
Dor OF diseases which receive much
more attention from the public In pro-
portion to their Importance from the
1Iandpoint OF the mortality record,
0an DO these.
In the last five years In Michigan
there have been I $50 deaths charged
10 vhooping and 1922 charged
to measles This number does not
properly indicate the high rate OF
mortality from these two diseases.
This is because great number OF
cases have been reported TO have
died OF pneumonia, which upon closer
Investigation. are shown to have had
measles or whooping-cough proceeding
the pneumonia. Such deaths should
be charged TO whoopinG-cough or
measles.
"The Importance OF these diseases,
as considered by the medical profes-
sion, is well shown in the following
resolution adopted by the Calhoun
County Medical Society. recently:
Resolved, that the Calhoun
County Medical Society In regu-
lar session in the City of Marshall,
appreciates the fact that "Pertus-
sis (whooping-cough) is one OF
the most fatal of the contagious
diseases Of childhood. Resolved,
that the Calhoun County Medical
Society hereby expresses its de-
sire that through the efforts OF
the state board of health. and the
various health officers of the state,
the public may be better instruct
ed in the dangers Of this disease,
that the disease be reported. that
stringent quarantine regulations
be enforced.
The policy which we too often
ind, OF allowing children who have
Whooping-congh to attend the public
schools Is an entirely wrong one. and
one which must not be tolerated. A
child with whooping-cough or measles
should be given just as careful atten-
tion by the parents and physicians as
case OF scarlet fever. The regula-
fions Of the state board of health pro-
vide that children who have whooping-
cough or measles, also children who
tive In n household so as to be exposed
10 whooping-cough or measles. must
not attend the public schools or any
public gatherings. This Is a regula-
ton which Is rather extensively not
compiled with In this state, and II is
this failure to so restrict the cases
which accounts for the large number
OF deaths.
1T is especially urged that the pub
Iic In general take more active pre-
cautions against these large epidemics
OF whooping-cough and measles. II Is
the duty OF the physicians In charge of
these cases, or OF the householder In
case there Is no physician In charge,
TO report these cases to the local
health ofiicer. II Is his duty to forward
the report to the state department.
Failure to comply with these require
ments constitutes violation OF the
law which should not be tolerated"
The Detroit times., 1911-10-05

ment, a comparison with September
last year affords but little consolation
TO the hog grower and feeder. Not
only are all grades OF hogs from $3.50
to 80 per cwt. lower than on this date
last year, but the market seems to be
top-heavy and tending downward. As
might be expected, the monotony of
the situation Is occasionally slightly
relieved by a modest reaction, but the
general trade shows so complete a
lack OF recuperative power that the
packer crowd has little trouble In
forcing declines whenever they see fit
to do So.
One OF the striking features OF the
current trade In live hogs Is the low
average weight posted from day to
day. Pigs OF all ages and sizes are be-
ing rushed to market, finding sale at
prices varying from SO TO IS per cwt.,
according to quality. Pig pork Is,
just now. an important article OF com
merce. and both the wholesale and
the retail meat trade Is making money
out OF the delicious commodity.
The current market situation with
relation to pigs and immature hogs is
exactly the opposite Of that which pre-
vailed on this date last year, when a
pig was a curiosity In the market,
growers and feeders holding back
everything In the apparent effort to
see how much weight they could put
on before sending the stock to market.
One OF the weak features OF the pres
ent outlook for live hogs is the high
price at which grain is selling. Long
continued wet weather Is causing
much apprehension as to the proper
maturing OF the corn crop Of the coun-
try. and hundreds OF feeders do not
seem to regard with favor the propo-
sition which involves the feeding OF
high-priced corn to- low-priced hogs.
