CROWDS AND DISEASE GERMS.

With people jamming themselves
into poorly ventilated rooms, halls and
theatres, the grip, the ''flu" end pneu-
monia waves reach their peaks, only
to subside when the people get ont
into the open again. Crowds are the
menace to public health in the period
Of the year when it is considered a
virtue to congregate in almost nermet-
ically sealed enclosures. Disease germs
find quick and easy Judgment on those
whose physical condition is slightly be-
low par. Let few sneezers and cough
ers get to work in crowd OF several
hundred people and inside of IN hour
you have scores Of incipient cases OF
pneumonia. Winter is the great breed
ing season for that disease and its
minor allies, largely because we do not
take the precaution to ventilate prop
erly the buildings in which we .oagre-
gate in large numbers. This fault ap.
plies to churches as well as to halls
and theatres, for the average church
building is poorly equipped for ven
tilation purposes.

The senatorial investigation in the
Watson charges Of illegal hangings OF
American soldiers in France seems to
have been seized upon as a useful We
hicle ID enabling tourists to visit
Washington, d. G., At any rate, a
Roswell, Ca, man wired from his home
town that he had seen seven soldiers
illegally hung in France and would
testify, wIereupon he was promptly
ordered to report in Washington for
examination, presumably being fur
nished his transportation expenses
But the outlook changed, once he ar
rived in Washington. Instead Of tes-
tifyig that he had seen seven sol
diers Illegally hung in France, this
Georgia man admitted he wasn't IN
the army, never had been in France
and never saw man hung. Qaeried
what he meant by his original decia-
ration, this man is alleged TO nave re-
piled: Il just saw a good chance TO
get ia Washington" His is case TO
be dealt with in the courts of justice
jif there is law to cover the otfense
The case bears out the suspicion on
the part Of the public that q great deal
Of the rumors and assertions that are
being banded about in connection
with alleged events that took place
in France viii not bear the light Of
close scrutiny and that the investiga,
ton is likely to fall fiat as far AZ
support Of the charges is concerned.

HAIRLESS PIGS

I What is the cause of this condition
Many things have been suggested ant
accused, but no single cause can b,
proven. Such conditions, as lack O.
exercise, poor sanitary conditions ant
the want of proper kinds and suffi
cient qualities of mineral substance.
in the food have been suggested as
the most probable causes. Since hair
less pigs have been produced expert
mentally by Withholding these factors
from the brood sows, and further that
the condition has apparently been pre-
vented in large number Of instances
by feeding the sows potassium iodide
in the feed or drinking water. We
would strongly advise that hog breed
ers give these conditions most careful
consideration.
Some Suggested Precautions.
AS the hog breeding season is now
at hand or just over, as it may be,
we would urge that the following pre-
cautions be taken:
/. That the sows be furnished with
good sanitary sleeping quarters.
2. That they be required to take
plenty of exercise. It may be neces-
sary to place the feed considerable
distance from the sleeping quarters
to bring this about.
). That generous quantity of
mineral material be provided during
the period of CESSATION. Add four
pounds Of common salt and three
pounds Of air Stacked lime to every
100 pounds Of ground feed, and have
Il supply Of forge, slack Or lump coal
in bulk available at all times for
them.
4. Give to each animal at least one
grain Of potassium iodide per day for
the last 70 or 80 days of their gesta-
ton period This can be purchased
from your local druggist in quantity
and apportioned and thoroughly mixed
with ground feed so that given
quantity Of the feed will contain one
grain Of the drug. This latter treat
ment will cost about -35 to 40 cents
per head and we believe it will be a
good Investment, especially on farms
where hairless pigs have occurred in
the past.

THOUSANDS CELE-
BRAIE AT RICE LAKE

It is estimated that 5000 people
gathered at Rice Lake, 81 miles south
west of Minot for the Fourth Of July
celebration staged under the auspices
of the Harvey Circuit of the Luther
leagues and sponsored by the Feder-
ated Luther leagues of northwestern
North Dakota. More than 1000 au-
tomobiles visited the grounds during
the day.
The affair had been extensively ad-.
vertised and was success in every
way. Picnic dinners, bathing, boating
and an extensive program Of sports
featured the days entertainment. A
ball game between the Minot all-star
team and the tri-county all-star team
was won by the latter. The fireworks
display from the opposite side of the
lake was exceedingly beautiful.
The program included an address
by Prof. Glasoe of Mortified, Mimi,
at the head Of the chemistry depart
ment Of St. Olof college. The foun-
ders of our government have placed
the foundation on Christian basis
and Roger Williams completely sep
arated the church and the state, were
some of the remarks made during his
address. In the evening, Dr.. A. O.
Fonkalsrud spoke on "Service" as
relating to the activities Of the young
people and referred to the opportuni-
ty of both service on the part Of the
state and the church.
A very fine Grafton was given by
Mr.. Ylvisaker, a Senior student at the
Wisconsin university, who delivered
the same address in which he won
the first prize in contest. His sub
ject was "Christ in Modern Civiliza-
tion." Rev. T. F. Gullixson, chair
man,, delivered an introductory adj
dress. A vocal solo by C. C.. Hvamb-
sal and a reading by Miss Lucille Carl
son were enjoyable number on the
evening program.

No man welded nearly as great
political influence in North Dakota
during the past three decades as the
late Aleck Mckenzie and many are
wondering who will take his place. A
politician of the old school, he man
aged to retain his great power to the
very last, making special trip to
St Paul, where he contracted his last
illness, to aid his old friend, Senator
McCumber. 1t might be said that
Mckenzie was North Dakota's poll
tica1 wizard. To- vast majority
of our people he was man of mys-
terry. He was little known personally
except to the old timers, for of late
years he has been out of the state the
greater part Of the time, and when
he did return to North Dakota, he
was seldom seen. He did not court
publicity. His picture had not ap-
peaned in the newspapers in years
and seldim did he permit an interview
for publication. He retained his
power by his very aloofness, by that
mysterious power that some men
WELD over others. He never asked
FOR al office himself. He liked to pull
the political strings and watch the
political Punch and Judys dance He
liked to reward his friends. He
never broke his word. He was very
successful man in a business way, his
estate being valued at nearly mil
lion dollars.
There is little question but what he
was consulted more than once during
the early days of the Nonpartisan
League and many have credited him
with furnishing the brains which re-
suited in building up that powerful
organization. If this be true, he as
sisted in building up machine which
was destined to prove his undoing,
although he did not live to view the
results.

An Editors Fate

An editor died and slowly wendell
his way to where he supposed warm
reception awaited him. The devil saw
him and said: "For many years thou
hast borne the blame for the many
errors made in the paper. The paper
has gone, alas, for 81 and the 81 has
often failed to come in The printers
have deviled thee on Saturday night
for wages when thou hadst not one
cent to thy name. Men have taken
the paper without paying for it and
cursed thee for not getting it out bet
ter. Tho uhast been called dead beat
by passenger conductors when thou
hast shown. thy annual pass to en-
vious gaze. All this thou hast borne
in silence. Thou canst not come in
here" and he fired him. Heaven is
his home; and besides, if we let him
come in here he will continually dun

tation is full of them and thus create
disorder in my kingdom"

/ The condition known as hairless pics
mas been very serious drawback to
hog raising in our northern country
during certVin seasons Of the last few
years. 1t has been confined mainly TO
the states bordering the Canadian
boundary from Washington on the
| west to Wisconsin on the east. So far
Montana has been the greatest sufferer
from this condition as there are GER
tain districts in that state which sus-
tain heavy losses annually if the
proper precautions are not taken,
In 1916 and again in 1910 our own
state, North Dakota, was hit rather
hard when many breeders lost 80 to
70 per cent Of their pig crop from the
hairless condition.
Like lightning, one cannot tell when
and where it will strike However, it
IS most commonly met with in gifts,
sows with their first filters. and tie
most of them are narrowed during the
winter and early spring seasons.
In litter Of such pigs one may find
them ranging from absolutely hairless
TO half hairless and some may be com
2lctely hurried and apparently normal
and healthy. Records show that such
filters usually go from three to seven
days over the average CESSATION per-
fod. The hairless or partially hairless
pigs may be born dead or in an ex-
.remely weak condition and most of
them die within the first three DAYS.
A few possess more vitality and may
niger along for weeks and even
months but never develop into normal,
thrifty hogs. The new born pigs have
peculiar shape, being unusually
heavy in the shoulder region and hay
ing thick neck. Quite often they are
1nable to nurse and lay around most
II the time and when reused or
touched give out Il weak, plaintive
sqqeal as if they have great pain.
Upon examination all the pigs are
found to have enlarged thyroids, SINH
ar to the goitre condition in the hui
nan race. These glands are often
:hree to four times their natural size
md they are likewise much larger in
The sow which has narrowed the hair

SPEAKING OF STOCK
RAISING AND THRIFT

Just what there is about mixed
farming, the keeping Of livestock, that
makes people more successful is hard
to say, but it does it, says J. H. Shep-
perd, dean of animal husbandry. 1t
tends to make people better bargain
ers and more economical. With us in
North Dakota we have a lot Of mil
lion dollar rains" in the course of the
average season. They begin to come
in June and with each one some fool
will proclaim that "the wheat crop will
be made whether we have any more
rain or not" and he begins to specu-
late on a 25-bushel crop. 1t is contag-
ious and while most farmers know bet
ter, they wish and hope that it will
he true and the store encourages them
to buy, "pay for it in the fall-never
mind, your credit Is good" etc. The
family want things and being encour-
aged to buy they usually buy things
they do not have to have.
I But when you have livestock for
sale "A rainstorm does not make or
break you and it tends to keep you on

besides. What happens Is that she
has raised challenge-set mark
and she watches and plays the game
in an attempt to make these products
do what she said they would do. In
consequence the egg crop comes up
and the grocery bill comes down and

Minot Working Girl Marches Fresh
Guy to Station with Gun

Miss Frieda Peterson, a young wo-
man employed at the Chocolate Shop,
objected to being accosted on the
streets, so pulled revolver when A.
Smith, a Minot mechanic followed her
and with the business end Of the
young cannon tickling his vertebrae,
marched him to the police station.
Smith obeyed the young woman and
didn't lose any time, tho he did pro-
test at being marched up Main street
before a crowd, suggesting that they
take route thru an alley where it
would not prove so humiliating for
him. The young woman chose the
street. -.
Miss Peterson was on her way home
from work Friday night and Smith
followed her as far as the foot bridge
over the G. N. tracks. The woman
fired one shot close to the mans body
and then took command of her one
man squad. Smith was released on
$25 bail. He will not modest strange
young women in the future.

set their prices for the seasons
threshing. The Independent hopes
that they will set prices that will per-
nit themselves to make some money
and at the same time be fair to the
farmers. Last year, hardly farmer
could afford to pay the amount charg-
ed. In many cases, the crop would
not bring the price charged for
Jhreshing. The crop is going to be
good this year, the best in years, and
many farmers believe that instead Of
charging by the hour, fair rate per
bushel should be charged.
