ORAL DISINFECTANT

The abuses Of the English language
while not 50 dangerous as the purist:
would have US believe, present a phase
which should demand the serious atten.
lion Of all thinking persons.
Conversation everywhere is filed with
gross profanity and epithets derived from
the lowest of sources. This is true Of
cid and young.
No explanation or excuse can be Of
fered for this condition. No manhood
is apparent in the Haunting Of the name
Of God as preface to further statement
No high thought is indicated by the en-
ployment Of words which suggest gross
habits Of degenerates. This is the phase
Of language abuse which should compel
the attention Of English speakers. 1t is
much more serious than the occasional or
even chronic use Of so-calIed slang. 1t
hits directly at our national character.
The mouths Of many conversationalists
need an oral disinfectant.

Time and again, during the course Of

omission of the many productions which
tell Of the incredible wealth Of that great
section; that seven states in the west
north central Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
North and South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas, in 1921 produced one-fifth in
value Of all the farm products in the
United States, and that the great state Of
Iowa led all the rest, with Illinois sec.

first in the value of crops only, with
Iowa first in animal products and Illinois
second. Another combination Of west
