as much for a single year as Renville
has, several allow $500 annually;
Others appropriate sums varying from
$500 to $1,000 for a temporary nurse.
After trial period as soon as the people
of the county get to see what the work
means to them there is usually demand
for permanent nurse. During the past
year nurses have been employed in
some twenty-four Minnesota counties;
the number of school children found
with one or more physical defects varied
from Is per cent to 80 per cent of the
total number examined in each county"

The Springfield Advance and other
Minnesota newspapers, in discussing the
probable fate of the Farmers Non
Partisan Political league, frequently
refer to the National Grange as having
met the fate of many other farmers
organizations that have come, existed
for few years and then passed on to
their reward, The fact is, the Grange,
which came into existence some forty
five years ago, is one of the solid organi-
cations of the country, and is particular
ly strong in the East and Middle West.
The Grange, however, tabooed politics
from the beginning of it's existence.

STORY OF LATEST GERMAN
PLOT HAS BEEN EXPLODED

The latest German scare has been
disposed Of by the New York Sun, as
follows:
"The idea that German agents are
spreading tetanus and typhoid by means
of poisoned court plaster is too silly to
be seriously considered for minute; it s
too asinine and stupid for any German.
Any of their agents worthy of the name
would know a thousand more effective
methods of scattering desease and
spreading terror"
Thus did high official of one of the
greatest drug and chemical manu-
featuring concerns in the country John
son & Johnson) puncture the latest bit
of hysteria the American people have
been experiencing. A statement ema-
mating from the New York State Defence
Council at Albany recommending the
discontinuance of the use of court plaster
and associating the announcement with
the German plot alarm, had brought
about the interview with the drug
expert.
"In the first place court plaster harkens
back to the bygone age of celluloid
collars ard lointed Shoes" the chemist
continued. cts out of style, old
fashioned and the whole business is
slowly dying. To-day no reputable
surgeon or physician used court plaster,
but rather the rubber adhesive plaster.
It may be all right for beauty spots, but
as practical surgical agent it's thing of
the past.
"And yet, according to the latest spy
theory, it's to this ancient, feeble, wholly
innocent court plaster that the German
agents have turned to wreak their
vengeance on our country. Well, my
idea is that we must give them credit
for having more brains than that; any
one of a thousand methods would be
infinitely more effective and surer."
While it is possible that the recent cases
of tetanus, more commonly known as
>lockjaw, reported in the West may have
been transmitted thru court plaster, the
drug expert contended that there was
absolutely no way of proving even this.
But granted that the disease did come
from the plaster, he went on, the German
agent theory was entirely dreamed into
the whole story.
"The basis of court plaster is the
gelatine glue that is spread over the silk
or linen or cotton BODY, he continued.
"This glue is made primarily from bones
and in the use of bones there is always
the possibility of encountering the
tetanus bacteria. The germ is one of the
most peculiar that science knows and
among other unusual peculiarities it will
stand boiling and most chemical actions.
This, of course, makes it entirely plausible
altho far from probable, that tetanus
infection coming from the glue actually
has> resulted from the use of court
plaster

NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES
GROWING IN BROWN COUNTY

There are more than 1900 automobiles
owned in Brown county, or to be exact
there were 1886 when the assessors of
the various cities, villages and townships
were making their assessments last
spring. There are probably more now.
Their total assessed valuation was
$213,419. New Ulm had the largest
number, 351, which the assessor valued
at $59,565, while Golden showed, the
smallest list, valued at 1869. The
following is the list for the county:

Some of the automobile speed fends
seem to think that the city streets are
made to try out the speed qualities of
their Blickensderfer SKIES and other
expensive makes of gas wagons. The
mayor and councilmen might remind
them that such is not the case, and that
thirty or forty miles an hour on the
streets of the city is strictly contrary
to the statutes in such case made and
provided James Plain Dealer.

Senator Lewls Has Lo11d Tar Bill

Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois has introduced a land value tax
measure. AS drawn it is subject to
criticism from a strictly scientific point
of view. 1t imposes special tax on
unoccupied lands equal to the amount
now levied by the states. The defects
of proposal so restricted are obvious.
To force unoccupied lands into use the
tax should be made heavy enough to
make withholding Improbable. 1t is
by no means certain that the measure
introduced by Senator Lewis would do
so. 1t is however a better food con-
troll bill than that now before congress.

Recent Washington advices stated that the war depart ment has decided on 0 thirty per cent increase in the number of candidates to be admitted to training.
