POOR QUALITY OF
GRAIN IN STATE
Professor Surface Hears Unfavorable
Weather Results In Deteriora.
tlon OF Crops.

Harrisburg Rains, cold nights and
generally unfayorable weather condi.
tions are going TO cost the farmers OF
Pennsylvania many dollars in de-
terioration of grain, according 10 Prof.
II. A. Surface, State zoologist, who has
been receiving reports from demon.
strators travelling through the eastern
part OF the State and who now are
investigating conditions In the west
ern counties.
"In many cases the grain started to
sprout while in the field. Consider.
able wheat has done this and ain In
formed that quite quantity Of rye
suffered from the damp and the gen.
orally bad conditions" says Prof
Surface "The oats crops, which we
all thought was going to be such a
valuable one and so much larger than
usual, may be diminished more than
other grains because Of the damp. ]
have learned of large fields in which
the oats have been cut, but which are
wet through and through. This not
only will make 1t difficult to handle,
but unstable in some sections.
"The most serious feature Of the
conditions will be that the grains will
not command good prices, except
where everything was favorable. and
there may be a shortage Of cattle feed
in some sections, although in others
they will feed the unstable product.
Weather conditions have been bad
and the frequent storms have caused
much damage, more than we are
aware of as yet"

HOW ADJUSTING THE SPINE RE
MOVES THE CAUSE OF DIS
Ease

The question is often asked, by
those who do not understand the
mechanical principles of the human
body: GLOW are diseases overcome by
adjusting the spine?p :
To make the answer to this cues
ton plain so that anyone may under
stand the principles, there must be
some knowledge of the anatomy of
the body. The spine Commonly
called the back bone) is a flexible
shaft, composed of 26 irregular
shaped bones, called vertebrate, of
which the upper "a are movable
vertebrae, and the lower two (verte-
brae) are immovable and are known
as the acrum and coccyx.
These bones are so articulated that
the spine may have many movements,
such as fexion, rotation, extension,
counter-extension, etc. Within the
center of this column of bones is To-
Gated the spinal cord; it is a large
bundle of nerves, that has been
termed by some writer's an enlonga-
ton of the brain. The spine supports
the skull as it rests on the first verte-
bra known as the atlas, each of the
twelve pairs of ribs articulate with
the dorsal vertebrae. The sacrum ar
ticulates with the innominate or hip
bones; truly the spine may be called
the cline shaft Of man." as it is the
central support of the entire frame
work Of the body. -"

ness when Roosevelt was on the stand
and on one occasion objected to being
treated "as a a meeting"
The personality Of Roosevelt domi-
mated the proceedings at Syracuse
just as Mr.: Barnes testified it domi.
mated the state convention of New
York in 1908. That personality en-
abled Governor Roosevelt of New
York to: say mo" or "yes'' to Senator
Platt, the easy boss, as he pleased,
Colonel Roosevelt could work for his
own ends through the leaders in his
party because nobody but Teddy was
boss where "My Policies" were on
cerned.
The World might add to it's lexicon
the fact that a boss ceases to be ever
a leader when he does as he is bid
by a higher power whose only boss
is the dictate of the voters.
Grand Forks Observation-Disclosures
Roosevelt has been acquitted of the
charge of libel in the suit brought
against him by William Barnes of
New York. It is not likely that the
result will surprise many people, be.
cause the reports of the trial have
indicated the production of no evil
dence on which a charge of libel could
stand. That Roosevelt said some
uncomplimentary things about Barnes
was never denied. But the whole
body of evidence showed quite clearly
that whatever was said, whether en-
tirely proper and in good taste or not,
was said in the heat of political con-
troversy; that it did not exceed great
ly, if at all, the latitude usually per-
mitted in political controversies; and
that the suit was brought, not for the
real purpose of securing redress for
injuries sustained, but in order to
make political capital. That is about
the impression which the case seems
to have made on the country, and that
appears to be about the view of it
taken by the jury.

BUT T. R. BOssED THE BOSSES

Of the long drawn out Barnes.
Roosevelt trial which ended last week
the Pioneer Press says:
The New York World gives it's def
milton Of a boss from lessons learned
at the Barnes trial, as a political lead
er opposed to Roosevelt; similarly a
leader is a political boss who sup
ports Roosevelt. The main effort Of
the Barnes coterie Of lawyers vas to
bring out the fact that Roosevelt con-
nived at bossism, was and-in glove
with Platt and other bosses, and was
a strict party man until the bosses
overthrow him in 1912.
They brought out nothing new, and
failed to damage the Colonel's case
in this way. The reason is clearly
shown in the attitude into which
Colonel Roosevelt forced Mr.. Barnes
chief counsel early in the trial. Mr.,
WINS repeatedly appealed to the court
to give him protection from the wit

DRESDEN HAS WRESTLER

A wrestler, Warmbold by name,
who halls from St. Cloud, Mimi, and
holds a professional record as a light
weight has located at Dresden this
fall and issues a def to meet all
corners, weighing one hundred and
fifty pounds and under. His first
public appearance was here in Lang
don Saturday evening at the Electric
theatre, when he went on the mat
with an unknown from St. Paul anc
before a fairly large sized audience
succeeded in gaining the decision ir
two straight falls with the stranger.
Local sports are now trying to frame
up a match with the St. Cloud mar
and Eddie Smith of Nekoma, who
however, is rather too heavy il
weight to go on the mat in the same
class as Warmbold.

Joseph w. Hamill, a veteran of the
civil war who saw active service with
the Third Infantry of Michigan, died
last week at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Hall at Sarles. He was
an uncle of Mrs. Hall and had made
his home with the family since coming
to the state in 1903. He was born
in Ohio and seventy-one years old at
the time of his death.
F. A. Bean, of New Prague, Mimi,
who now owns the Wroolie farm east
of Milton, is the owner of from
so, 900 to IS, 600 acres of North
Dakota farm lands, all of which
property he has accumulated in the
past twenty years. Mr.. Bean, who
is the president of the New Prague
Milling Company and is rated as a
Millionaire, was a visitor in Milton
several days of last week.
Two Milton parties, Mrs. Chris.
Flom and daughter, Olivia, narrowly
escaped death in an auto accident.
The car vas making the ascent of a
hill east of Milton when the engine
came to a stop near the top of the hill
and in its dash backward down the
hill left the road and went over the
edge of the canyon, the car turning
over completely twice before reaching
the bottom. Both occupants were
thrown clear of the car and escaped
with severe bruises and sprains, but
the car met with a worse fate and was
badly demolished.
An entire threshing crew, consist
ing of seven men, the engineer,
separator man, fireman and four
pitchers, were burned to death while
asleep in a barn on a farm near Bran
don. Everything in the barn, includ-
ing twelve horses vas burned. The
origin of the fire is entirely unknown.
Such disastrous fires are too common
throughout the province, says the
Crystal City, Man., Courier, in COM
menting on the affair, and the practice
of smoking or the lighting Of matches
around threshing machines or in barns
and other farm buildings cannot be
too severely condemned.
