Simple Goitre.

Although goitre, or enlargement of
the thyroid gland, is of two sorts,
Simple and exophthalmic, this article
concerns itself only with simple goitre,
which is, in general, the less serious of
the two.
The thyroid gland is ductless; that
IS, its secretion is not emptied through
duct like the saliva or the bile. but
IS taken up directly by the blood and
carried to other parts Of the BODY
where it is needed. The gland con-
sists of two lobes connected with a
narrow band called the .isthmus. II
lies in the front of the neck with one
lobe on either side of the trachea, or
windpipe. In this country simple en-
largement of the gland is not uncom-
mon, but it occurs much oftener in GER
tain parts of Switzerland, Italy and
England. In those countries lime and
magnesia in the water is held RESPONSE
BILE for the disease; but the sporadic
cases OF enlargement inAmerica re-
main unexplained, though some au-
thorities is said to be much more COM
mon among women than men, and il
sometimes runs in families.
In most cases of simple goitre there
are no symptoms except a noticeable
swelling in the neck and the discomfort
sometimes caused by the enlarged
eianos pressing on the gullet, the
windpipe or some of the nerves in the
neck. The swelling may occur in only
one lobe or in only the connecting
band; or it may affect the whole ward
behind the breastbone, it may press on
certain important veins and cause
swelling of the face, drowsiness or
headache. 1t may press on the pneu-
mogastric nerve, causing spasmodic
cough or difficult respiration.
Simple goitre is usually treated with
iodlde of potassium or with extract
OF thyroid gland administered internal
~ or with applications Of radium or
the X rays. Sometimes physicians paint
the patients neck with tncture Of
Iodine, on the theory that the iodine
acts directly upon the enlarged gland
instead OF indirectly through the
blood, as when iodide of potassium is
used. The sufferer should try to avoid
overexertion either of mind or BODY.
for, as we have already said, fatigue is
believed 10 be frequent cause Of
goitre II the treatment fails, and the
gland grows so large as to disfigure the
patent or to give him great discomfort.
surgeon should be employed The
operation Of removal is not especially
serious.

WELCOME PIONEERS

Next week Pullman will have the
pleasure of entertaining the Whit
man County Pioneers association.
The visitors deserve and should be
given royal welcome. The real
pioneers. those who located in the
county prior to 1875, endured much
and accomplished much and their
names should always be held in
grateful remembrance. There are
not many of them left and the ranks
If their little band are thinning rap
idly. In fact, the membership of the
Pioneers association is made up
largely of near-pioneers, those who
came to the county in the early days
of its development but not till after
its possibilities had been demonstrat-
ed and many of the dangers and
hardships of life in new country
had been eliminated through the
courage and energy of the first set
tiers.
There are still enough of the real
pioneers left to make these meetings
interesting by their "reminiscences of
the days when the residents of the
county were few and far between,
when Almota was its trading center,
when most of the necessities and all
of the luxuries of life were shipped
by boat from Portland, Ore, or
hauled by team from Walla Walla,
when Indian scares were frequent,
when a dance attracted people from
miles around to enjoy taste of So
cial life.
1t was by their enterprise, self
sacrifice and courage that the great
est wheat producing county in the
United States was developed and
brought under the pillow. We of to-
day are enjoying the benefits result
ing from the hardships which they
endured, from the privations which
they suffered, from the loneliness
and dangers which they sustained.
We owe them a debt Of gratitude,
which should make it a pleasure and
privilege to do them honor when
they assemble at their annual picnic.

STATE RULES FOR CAMPERS

Campers in all parts of the state
ana picnic parties everywhere who
go into the woods for an outing had
best study the new rules issued by
the supervisor of forestry governins
camp fires. A new law which took
effect June is very strict against
carelessness in the woods and this
law will be enforced very rigidly.
Important features in a new camp
fire circular are:
The provisions of section 3, chap
ter l02, Laws of 1921, which is Ell
fectiye June 8, prohibits kindling
fire in the forests or dangerously
near any forest material except at
camping grounds which have been
prepared and designated for recrea-
ton purposes. Dangerously near
will be construed as a place where
fire might spread on the ground or
be blown by the wind to inflamma,
bic forest debris 1t should be dis
tinctly understood that the law does
not prohibit camp fires when kindled
at places where fire will not spread,
and at a safe distance from the for
ests or inflammable material For
est officers will judge when fire is
in a safe place.
In the enforcement of this law
it will be our policy to forbid kin
ding fire where there is the least
danger of it's communicating with
the forests either by wind or by
spreading on the ground, and to re-
frain from issuing permits to kindle
fires in the forests except in cases
where there is an urgent need and
a very good reason to do so. This
applies particularly to kindling fires
for idle or unnecessary purposes"

DOWN THE LEWISTON HILL

The Progress editor visited Pull
man on business Sunday and Monday
and the afternoon of the latter day
came to Lewiston by auto, making
his first trip over the far famed Lew
iston hill.
The highway down the hill is truly
wonderful feat of engineering,
while the view one gets of Lewiston
and the surrounding country is one
of rare beauty. However, for real
beautiful scenery, we still claim the
palm for the picture one gets of the
Kamiah valley from the Nezperce
grade. Not so great an expanse of
territory is included in the view, but
our valley has an advantage in pine
trees and the wider variety in the
contour of the hills, there being
something of a monotony in the bar
renness and similarity in shape of
the Lewiston hills. A fine road
down the Nezperce grade and public
ity such as given the Lewiston high
way would make Kamiah just as ia
nous for its scenery and attract
many travellers this way.-Kamiah

THE BUDDY SPIRIT

The post of the American Legion
at Moscow, Idaho, was planning to
stage Fourth of July celebration
in that city but when the members
received a letter from Maynard-Price
post outlining the plans for the big
celebration to be held in Pullman
and requesting them to cancel their
plans, they promptly complied and
promised to do all in their power to
make the celebration here a success.
The Moscow business men cheer
fully acquiesced and the fine EIks
band of that city offered to furnish
music free of charge. The Moscow
game with the Pullman boys as one
of the features of the celebration,
and Moscow people will be here in
full force.
This manifestation of the Buddy
spirit by the Legion members and of
neighborly good will by the business
men and residents of the city. Just
across the state line is deeply APP
preciated by the people of Pullman,
and they will not be slow in recipro-
eating by boosting a celebration in
Moscow next year 1t is better in
many ways for both communities to
join in holding one mammoth cele-
bration every year, than to compete
by staging two smaller ones for. by
pulling together, they can offer a
more interesting program. draw a
much larger crowd, save consider
able expense and, best of all, stimu-
late more cordial and friendly rela-
tons between the two educational
centers.
The ex-service men and residents
OF Moscow are entitled to much
credit for this fine demonstration of
the Buddy spirit.

BANKERS LOAN MILLION
TO BOYS AND GIRLS

When a person has backing enough
to secure loan of a million dollars,
he is considered among the big bust
ness men of the country. If this is
true, then the boys and girls club
members of the country have entered
big business with a capital B, for dur
ing the past year these juniors Dor
TOwed nearly $1,000,00O from the
bankers to conduct their business.
Not only did they borrow this vast
amount of money, but made enough
to pay it back and clear a profit of
some $2,0O0,OOO for themselves.
Boys and girls club work has en-
tered the realm of real business, for
in the 8 northern and western states
reports show they received $4,000
600 for their produce, which cost
them $2,296,OOO, including a loan of
$883,700. After deducting the costs
and loan they made a total profit of
$2,314,000.
hV lCllldi hdDlG ledIuIt Ol lu6
business, says George f. Farrell. in
charge of the club work in the United
States, is the fact that over 5000
banks made the loans and not a bank
er among the number lost a single
dollar. Every cent has been paid
back in full when it became due. The
same statement is true for Washing
ton. for boys and girls in nearly every
county in the state borrowed money
on live stock or crops last year, and
from all reports to the extension serv-
ice, they are paying it back to the
bankers who believed in them.
The 5000 bankers who believed in
club work to the extent of loaning
hard cash to the boys and girls have
done much for the improvement of
future agriculture, and more for the
building of permanent manhood and
womanhood.

FARM BUREAU ACTIVITIES

That Summer Fallow
! There are still many farmers who
haven't learned how to fight squir-
rels. That may seem funny when
some of you have been doing it for
the last 40 years. True enough
most farmers try to prevent the
squirrels from destroying the wheat
but they can't look ahead and see
the next years crop of squirrels COM
ing out on their fall grain. This can
be prevented if everyone will pay a
little attention to their summer fall
low at this time of the year. Poison
the summer fallow heavily and get
those equirrels that will hole up
there this summer.
Years ago, when farmers had to
depend upon phosphorus and other
poisons dangerous to stock, there
was some excuse for not poisoning
the summer fallow. With the new
strychnine poisons there is absolute
ly no danger to stock if the poison is

men scatter poison in their sheep and

Will, we are glad to be quit of it.
Compared to the dollar you spent
year ago the dollar of today is
worth $131, statisticians tell us.
Comparative price lists of the retail
trade, submitted to the federal re-
serve agents of the government,
formed the basis of this computa-
ton. Lower levels will be reached,
so we are assured, for raw materials
have declined an average of more
than 80 per cent, with a consequent
present and future influence upon
cost to the consumer. That these
reductions will come gradually and
through a series or retail concessions
is something that must be borne with
patience. Save in obvious instances,
the delay in reaching pre-war prices
should not incite to charges of prof
iteering For the old inflated cost
of production, Of raw material and
labor, still governs much of the
manufactured product-completed
before the reaction began.
We are told that it is futile to
hope for restoration of the price
schedule of pre-war years, and that
to some extent the higher cost of
living must remain with us Natur-
ally this hypothesis implies that
wages, though they must recede,
will maintain a level commensurate
with the revised cost standard.
When this adjustment is attained we
will have reached the state of nor
malcy, wherein commercial enter
prise is not speculative, or dis
ordered, or extortionate, but
smoothly functioning unit of prog
ress and prosperity.--Oregonian.
