Paralysis Is an affection char
actcrized by loss. Of muscular
power or by the sense Of touch,
taste or smell becoming impaired
from injury to nerve by acci-
dent or disease.
Since it is possible for the
vertebra to become slightly dis-
placed, due to strains, jars,
wrenches, falls, blows, muscular
contractions, exposure TO wet
and cold, shocks, poisons, ETC.,
thereby pinching the nerves
passing between the vertebra
and restricting or obstructing
the nerve force from the brain
IN the organs or tissues-this 10
the real cause Of disease.
II is the pressure on nerves
which causes paralysis, nervous

Research Worth
Many Millions

URBANA, Il.-How many millions
of dollars, or hundreds Of millions, is
the value that may be derived from
carried on by great state universities?
One department alone at the Uni
versity of Illinois has made discover
les and improvements which, if they
were adopted on all the farms of Illi-
nois to which they are applicable,
would add many, many millions Of
dollars per year to the value of agri-
cultural products produced. This
would be true il existing prices could
be kept
And that is only one department of
the many that go to make up the uni
versity's agricultural experiment sta
ton. There are other departments
that do perhaps as much in agricul-
ture, and certainly in the engineering
station Of this university similar
great work is being done. How many
millions, then, is this great educa-
tional institution returning to the
wealth of the state? How many mil
lions are other great institutions con-
tributing? 1t is a question that CAM
be answered only indirectly.
The manner in which the estimate
was made Of the department referred
to above was related in an address by
President David Kinley of Illinois:
Our soil survey in Illinois was un-
dertaken 20 years ago. Chemical an
alysis showed that peat soils lacked
in potassium, and that potassium in
creased corn yields on such soil by
an average of % bushels to the acre.
Allowing for the cropping of one
fourth of the 100000 acres of peat in
the state, the increased crop would
be 100000 bushels, worth $685.
The cost of Improvement would be ap-
proximately 100000, leaving net
$3.50, ,O00,' says the department report
"The returns on Browns silt loan
computed in similar way would
show for the increased output Of corn,
wheat and oats, if all the land put
into these grains were treated in the
improved way, net increased value
of $22,000,0OO.
"By analyses like these the depart
ment has built up it's estimate.
GAS further illustration, our depart
ment of horticulture, with reference
to certain experiments, says: These
experiments indicate clearly that at
cost of $25 per acre for labor, fer
tilizers, or other equivalent care, the
general yield of peach trees in the
state may be increased annually 130

NOTORIOUS TOWN OF WEST
PASSES-EVEN TRAINS
NOM GIVE Ii HGQ-RY

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The tough
est town of the West has passed. The
wonder is it survived so many years
after the 18th Amendment took effect.
Mondak Station, just over the North
Dakota line in Montana, has been
closed, the Montana Railroad Com
mission officially informs the Inter
Estate Commerce officials of Wash
ington.
Train crews that always worried
over their proximity to death while in
that vicinity now wave light hand"
at the barred station doors and almost
depleted population of one-time wild
and woody Western burg. The noto-
riety of the town was so widespread
that former Indian commissioners at
Washington used to offer thanks that
the Glacier National Park Indian res
ervation and the Fort Peck agency
were situated far enough in the
western part of Montana to be out Of
harms way of Mondak's untamed
night life
1t was typical staggering bully
of town spraddled across the rail
way track, a clearing house for all the
booze, vice and crime for the sur
rounding country.
Hundreds of gamblers used to
make Mondak their headquarters, for
it was the town that supplied dry"
North Dakota as far east as DEVILS
Lake with it's recreation in the form
of games of chance and bar booze"
The conduct tors Of trains that
stopped in Mondak had to qualify as
fist fighters as well as railroad mon,
for the struggle for tickets was a
critical one in the mobs of drunken,
hilarious workers, returning to their
camps and fields after a spree in Mon
dak. Today there is not enough traf-
fic to warrant keeping a waiting-room
open.

''Air Farming Latest
of New Farm Methods

CHICAGO.-"Air farming" accord.
ing to the Research Department of the
National Association of Farm Eouip-
ment Manufacturers, is giving farm
implement makers more problems of
designing and inventing new and fast
er operating tools than any other de-
velopment Of farming at the present
time.
United States farmers are not wait
ing for the politicians at Washington
to solve their nitrate problems at
Muscle Shoals in order to cut down
the cost Of bringing nitrates from
Chile or Alsace-Lorraine. They are
growing clovers, alfalfas, field peas
and soy beans, the Research Depart
ment finds. These hays and pastures
are known as legumes because they
take nitrogen from the air and store
it on the nodules of their roots.
Agricultural colleges and county
agents have been pointing out the
effectiveness of these crops in their
crop rotation systems for solving the
nitrogen problem while furnishing
valuable feeds for their livestock.
Many states and counties have dou-
bled and trebled their use of one or
more of these crops in single year
since the war, and the increase of
all of them have been phenomenal.
Soy beans in particular has been call
ing for new harvesting and threshing
machinery and screens. Hence man
ufacturers have been busily working
out the most efficient handling of
these crops for hay or seed.
More speed has been demanded also
in handling these crops to get the
greatest value from them as feed. The
alfalfas must be cut two to five times
in a single season and their leaves
must be saved to get the very valu-
able feed that is rated by experiment
stations equal to bran. Tractors are
being hitched to two or more now
ers and to wider cutting machines.
More units Of side delivery rakes and
hay leaders are being pulled by trac-
tors to speed the hay harvest and in
sure highest value Of hay.

Common Ozvmershib of Farms
Socialism Aim SAYS Writer

standard-have the right to cast him
out and put government official in
his place to manage the farm ''for the
good of the nation"
Thus the farmers could be put off
their farms as rapidly as socialist pol
icy demanded and their acres and
crops be made public property.
This is bare outline Of the report
and plan. Such as it is, 1t has been
indorsed by the national administra-
tive council of the partv, on which sit
three members Of the present British
cabinet.
These details are given to show,
from an official record, just what
common ownership Of the means Of
production" comes to for farmers
when the words have to be reduced to
the plain language of practical So
cialist policies.
Soft Pedal Used
In the United States we have not
gone far yet, to see these things as
they really are. The Socialists who
go to Eastern Washington and North
Dakota wheat farmers for instance,
soft pedal the proposition about ma
tionalizing land and dwell on the prop
osition to nationalize factories, no.
tably large factories and trusts. But,
as main means Of production" the
farms are marked for the same fate
as the factories. Every student Of
revolutionary socialism knows it. The
course of events in England prove it,
Only farmer Socialists seem to be to-
tally ignorant of it.
A farmer once bitten by the revolu-
tionary bug cannot be cured by an
extra $3.50 year. That is sure. But
if suoh a farmer could be made to
foresee his fate, for instance, at the
hands of a county committee Of the
sort advocated by the independent
Labor party of Great Britain, if he
could be sure to understand the pol
icy Of land seizure and farm seizure
that turks in the program of every So
cialist revolutionary Of the simon-pure
type, he surely would hesitate long
before becoming Socialist upheaver,
even though he might remain tr1f1e
radical as long as he was hard up.
