The Future of the Tropics.

ARE the tropics, which were for ages the
seat Of, powerful civilizations and of mighty en-.
pres once more going to become favorable and
desirable spots for civilized man? Col. Gorgas
tnlnks they Will. In a recent address at Johns
hopkins University after describing the Won
derful reduction in disease under the sanitary
precautions established, Col. Gorgas speculates
on the effect of this demonstration on orr ideas
OF the tropics as a place of residence. He saws
That it IS an established fact that always in the
past the Caucasian has wilted and died in the
tropics. lie has found it almost impossible to
rear his children under these conditions. and
When ne has survived, degenerate race has re-
suited. But here at Panama a force of 5000
Caucaslans has lived for the. past six years in as
good health as similar people live in the health
Iul parts of the United States. Not only is
Panama located in the most tropical portion Of
the tropics, but it has been the most unhea]tbfp)
location IN all the tropics for the past four hum
dred years. The Caucasian has tried 70 1.-Two
mere and use Panama as a crossing-place; but he
mas found 1t impossible to do so. The toll in life
mas been very heavy when he spent in the
Jungle OF the lsthmus even the few days that
We're necessary for the crossing; and when he
attempted to stay longer, as with the French
under lie Lesseps, the loss was appalling
What mas made the difference between invalid
ism and death in the one period, and robust and
vigorous health in the other period? It is due
Solely to the fact that the American authorities
nave protected the workers and their families
from disease, especially from yellow fever and
malaria. The effects of this experiment will be
far-reechlng. The tropics, at present, contain
much the largest and most productive portions
the earth's surface. A mans labor in the
tropics Will bring him in many times the returns
that the same amount of labor will produce in
temperate zone. Heretofore he has been
Iept out of these regions on account Of the
lealth conditions. Panama has been known as
ne most unhealthful place in the world, and al

tropical empires will be known, such as existed

GROWN WHISPERS WILL Be
EXHIBITED FOR PRIZES AT THE FAIR
Silas Hobbins, Residing Near Fargo, Suggests That New
Competition be Staged and He Provides Cash to Start
the Show-Must Be the Pure Stuff.

Whiskers. North Dakota grown,
may be displayed at the North Dako-
ia state. fair July 1926. along with
hay, alfalfa and other microbes and
vegetables. Silas Hobbins, who says
he is a farmer living about three miles
out from Fargo. Cass county. has
written the fair officials saying he is
s21.63 for the longest whiskers now
growing on the fact Of N man who
has been a resident Of North Dakota
for twenty-five years. He suggests
that the fair association charge ar IN
trance fee and let the added money
go to the winner. AS the premium
list has been made out for some time
1t is impossible to take this matter
up in the manner suggested, but the
idea has been passed on to Arthur
Netcher. superintendent Of conces-
sions and he will place Mr.. Hobbins
on the pike along side the bearded
lady.
Mr.. Hobbins writes as follows:
II have been much interested in
the premium list Of the big state fair
and you bet I am going to be in
Grand Forks when she opens July %.
There is n think l want to take up
with you. however, before 1 bring my

The we'll known I. B. Holmes farm
has been sold to parties from Gales
burg. ILL.,, through O'Connor Bros, Of
James Whalen farm at St. Thomas h
this city. The same firm has also sold
the James Whalen farm at st. Thomas
to Illinois parties.

crops cas- of the city are in excellent
shape compared to some Of the. other
sections nearby tThe late rains have
some Of the, earlN sown grain has suf-
fered a great deal. there Is still chance
for a splendid crop. With nice
maturing weather from now on the
grain will advance rapidly.
AS an indication, however, Of the
effect that the small crop scare has
had on several farmers and dealers it
is pointed u that the Irvine orders
for the coming fall have been greatly
curtailed. 1t is estimated that the
Irvine orders this year are only about
forty per cent as large as the Irvine
for last year. This is due, in
large part, to the fact that the grain
will be thinner this year than last. say
the farmers. tr.

200 piggers have left for South Da-

Used Great Care
He told q great many amusing in

He went into a blind pig and asked
the owner for some beer. The man
took superintendent Watkins down
Into the basement of the building, lay
nat on his stomach and opened a trap
door and pulled out two bottles of
beer. He told Mr.. Watkins that he
had to be careful where he kept the
beer as the Enforcement league Off
GERS were always sneaking around,
In another town where two ears of

LESS Money N STATE BANKS
Decrease Of Over Two Millions Since
Last Statement rs Result of
Putting in Crop.

A comparative statement just is
sued by the state examiner for the
close of business on June 4. shows
the 500 state banks and the. three
trust companies of North Dakota had
$20.456,130.09 in deposits subject to
check which was a decrease of $685.
359.42 less than the showing on April
4. but this decrease is accounted for
in the fact that this is the time. OF
the year when there is. demand and
use for cash among the farmers while
their crops are growing, as the ST.
164.79S.S2 increase in loans in thai
period will testify. During the same
period there was an increase of $751;
633.45 in demand certificates of de-
post. and an increase Of $S94,4SO.55
in time certificates of deposit. which
shows the savings of the people, of
the state have been gradually increas-
ing. The statement also shows that
there has been an increase of $1,242,-
351.57 in the resources Of the state
banks and trust companies.

Law EFFECTIVE,
SAYS
Webb Kenyon Measure, De.
spite the Non-Punishment
Clause, is Power for Good.

Judge c. A. Pollock Of Fargo. dis
cussing the Webb-Kenyon bill. de-
clares that despite the fact that the
Measure is without a punishment
clause, 1t is a big factor for better
conditions in the prohibition states.
He says:
You must keep in mind that in the
division Of the powers Of government,
the states retained control of what are
known as the police powers. For ex-
ample, Congress could not constitu-
tionaily pass a national prohibition
law. To do that. the people would
have to change the Federal Constitu-
ton. But each individual state has
the undoubted power to say how the
liquor traffic shall be controlled in
that state. Many states have passed
%prohibitory laws: some operating
statewide; others in districts in the
option laws. have declared for prohi-
bition. More than SO per cent Of the
entire territory of the United States
being now under prohibition laws
Power to Regulate Commerce.
ut is also we'll known that under
the federal constitution. Congress has
power to regulate commerce among
the several states. Notwithstanding
the provisions of the so-called Wilson
bill. passed some thirty years ago.
which was intended to cure the evil
Of shipping liquor into prohibition
states, n districts, yet the supreme
court Of the United States has held
that even under it's provisions liquor
shipped into prohibition. territory did
not lose Its interstate character until
delivered to the consignee in that ter
ritory.
To Help Out Wilson Bill.
This Webb. Kenyon bill is Intended
to help out the Wilson bill so that
now the interstate character Of liquor
shipped into prohibition territory for
unlawful purposes Is removed the mo-
ment 1t crosses the boundary line, and
before it is delivered t O the consignee.
A recently stated by the Attorney
General of the United States: It's (the
Webb law purpose is to permit state
laws to operate in respect of intoxi-
eating liquors moving in interstate
commerce. The law simply deprives
shippers OF any privileges they might
claim on the ground of interstate
ton of state prohibition laws to in
terstate commerce in liquors.
Can Control Traffic.
I'VE have sufficient laws in our
state to control the traffic, provided
We are not disturbed by the interstate
commerce law. Congress. by the Webb
law. has simply said to the several
states: Go ahead and enforce your
W laws and we will keep hands off,
The, temperance forces working at
Washington were fully advised as to
the no-penalty condition Of the Law,
and in fact were responsible for it's
being passed in the present form.
1T is too early yet to state the eff
rect had upon shipments into our
state, but enough is known to warrant
the. statement that shipments have
been very materially reduced. The
penalty for violating the Webb law,
therefore, will come by virtue of the
state being able to enforce it's own
laws. which 1t is suggested have ade-
quate penalties"
