led an attack against the rebels in
the AcambRra Salvatierra region,

According to the dispatches, Presi-

The federals were CRYING chase to
the rebels south OF Celaya, in the
state of Gusuajuato. when the In
Aurgents turned to give battle.
Airplanes,, preceding the federal
advance, reported that the rebels
had taken up position near Sal

Field artillery was rushed up and
the rebel positions were shelled.
The rebels fled towards the hills

The New Year is bringing many good things

Not the least of these good things is the an
nouncement that a control for the dread diabetes
has been found in the remedy insulin. For years
physicians and other scientists have been seeking
for some means of stopping this disease which
killed five hundred Mnnesotans last year. Only
recently young Canadian physician began work
with insulin and successful has it been that
the remedy is now being tried in practically all
the larger hospitals and is entirely practicable for
use even in the small institutions and by impec-

We are curious about many things the
budding 1924 unfolds. One of the least of our
curiosities concerns the hyphenated Farmer-Labor
party which has to run amuck of the direct pri-
mary-that institution which has played such
havoc of disruption with the old-line parties
Maybe the adherents of the hyphen can get to-
gether long enough to build more or less sub
stantial platform and to pick ticket to stand
on it. but the present symptoms of such an or
ganized activity are decidedly lacking It may
be possible that government can stand without
party government but we fail to see anything
but future chaos from continuation Of the pre-
sent situation under the rule of the direct pri-
mary. The Republican Party, being the majority
party, was the first and worst sufferer, but its
fate is certainly before any other organization
which gets the leadership, if the primary con-
tinues. @Fighting it out in the primary" spells
anything but sanity and safety.
