How to Treat stammsr'ns.

Before the kindergarten section
meeting OF the National Society for
the Study and Correction Of Speech
Disorders, DR.. Walter B. Swift Of Bos-
ton, read a paper on the treatment OF
stammering In its very early begin
nings. Stammering in very young chill
dren often results from nervous stress
and strain great fright. the Imitation
Of others and sometimes from acci-
dents. Almost all Of these things can
be prevented The imitation of anoth.
err case can easily be stopped by the
parents. Nervous stress ana strain
can be eliminated by proper home n.y.
giene. which when put into practice
has been know to Stop Stammering in
two weeks. Great strain from fright
can be avoided by having the compan-
ions Of the children refrain from pur-
posely frightening them. and after any
unavoidable fright 1t can be minimized
by proper conversation and advice
after that fright has occurred. Doctor
Swift described one case in which q
cure was effected in two weeks.

That the present interest In the con.
divert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved IL
point which the bureau Of public
roads, United States department Of ag-
ricuture. has had occasion to empha-
size many times in recent months, par
ticularly in view of the enormous In.
crease in motor vehicle traffic which ID
taking place The bureau recently
completed compilation Of statistics
from all the states Of the Union show
Ing that there were q total OF 1855, 448
registered motor cars (including motor
cycles and trucks) In the United
States in 1919. This is an increase of
u per cent, or 1,418,S29 motor cars
ever 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, it Is pointed
cut, and in consequence added atten-
lion must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase In the number of
cars for 1910 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered in the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use of roads and streets
has. Of course. been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state aud
local governments in the form of H.
cense fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles, trucks, and motor cycles in
use in 1919 totaled S64,697 55.5S-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The

When the roads Of the great pro-
ducing zones Of this country are i'm
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but to consumers. When
marketing IL distributed throughout

This country Is paying at present large

approximately Four Hundred
Applications. Filed With Co.

COMPLICATIONS OF Law Are MANY
County Commissioners Badly Handi-
capped by Conditions in Money
Market and Entanglements of
Seed Grain Law.

The county commissioners of Valley
county have been working long hours
during the past two weeks trying to
devise ways and means of expeditions
ly and with convenience to the appli-
cants, handling the hundreds of feed
and seed relief applications presented
under the Seed Relief bond issue. Sew
eral days of last week were spent by
the commissioners with the bankers
and elevator men of the county ar
ranging for the handling of the seed
grain warrants pending the disposal
! of the bonds.
Negotiations with the bankers and
elevator men resulted in an arrange
ment whereby the warrants Of the
county for seed and feed will be hand
led by the grain companies and the
local banks and for the past few days
the commissioners have been hard at ,
| work passing upon the numerous ap-
plications presented.
At the time of this writing activi-
ties in the passing of applications have
been temporarily held up pending an
adjustment covering the difference on
price and delivery as between points
| along the railroad and farmers holding
wheat for sale at outlying country
| points. AS worded, the seed grain law
has placed stumbling blocks in the
path Of the county officials who are
endeavoring to secure feed and seed
for the applicants at the least cost and
with the greatest convenience. The
law provides that the commissioners
must purchase the feed and seed and
resell it to the applicants, which pro-
vision will, in many instances, cause
great delay and inconvenience to the
farmers, who are anxious to get the
necessary grain and start work in the
fields.
The commissioners and other coun-
ty officials are in hopes that the nu-
merous legal complications will be
Strengthened out within the week in
order that the work of passing upon
the many applications on file may pro-
ceed without further delay.
