League Faces Test

The whole world awaits with the deepest of in
tcrcst the result of the League Of Nations action
to end hosties in the Balkan The council
OF the league has ordered troops to withdraw and
to retire to their frontiers.
Doubtless the League Of Nations will be most
effective in treating with European problems. Its
sphere OF influence must necessarily DE Unite
without Americas participation, but the Balkan
problem is most likely to be settled by an
agency such as the league If the council OF the
League is unable to settle minor controversy
between minor powers, its future is uncertain. For
the sake of peace in Europe, it is the hope OF near
every civilized nation that the leagues mandate il
this instance will be most effective. Failure will
mean decided set back and the resumption of con-
ditons in western Europe which the League pact
gave promise of elimination.

Editorial Comment
Abandoned Farms and Food Supply
New York TimeS)


1t is significant that, while than $4,000
farms have been abandoned in the country since
1920 there is marked increase in truck farms near
cities in the East Somehow or other, the big pop
uation must be fed A steady drift to the cities
from the rural districts continues, but there is hope
that the problem of food supply will be solved in
part by the fruit and vegetable gardens in the sub
urbs.
In the city zone more poultry yards and apple
and peach orchards to be found from year to
year. But, after all, the main dependence of the
city workers and drones must be upon the great
wheat and stock farms of the West There need be
no fear that good arabic land will be overlooked.
The lean yeras have to be taken with the fat Most
OF the abandoned farms worth cultivang.
In spite of the ravages of the boil weevl, cotton
lands still held at high valuation DrOughs
do not make good ranch land drug the
market.
! good deal Of new territory is being opened tn
cultivation There increases of farm lands in
| Texas, empire in space; in California Oregon
Washington. and in the Southern States of Virginia
North Carolina and Florida. The last promises to
add immensely to the food supply in the next ten
years.

Rust Proof Wheat
yea rs.
(St. paul DiSDatch)

Word from Winnipeg is that Samuel Larcombe
a famous agriculturist of Manitoba, has developed
a rust-resistant wheat. 1t is not claimed that the
ster,' is 100 per cent proof against rust, although
SO far it has shown an almost perfect resistance.
Why should there not be a wheat that would b."
immune to black stem rust? Professor Boley OF
North Dakota developed a variety of flax that was
immune to flax wilt "a discovery that saved the
flax industry Of the Northwest. few years ago
variety of wheat known "Kota' sold on its
rust-resstant quality and while it seemed to be
able to defy the attack of the fungi better than older
varieties it was not entirely immune and it's yield
was said to be not high.
If the newly developed grain should prove all
that is now claimed for it, it would simply add an
other facet to the problem Of the surplus. Black
stem rust has done more than its share in keeping
production below normal and in decreasing our
exportable surplus. 1t has not been an unmxeG
evil, in that way. II the average yield per acre
of North Dakota could be increased from 10.4 bush
els to double the amount due to the absence of dam
age to the crop by rust, the problem of the surpu
would become even more acute. Yet that is exact
what is coming, for even the present known varie
ties OF wheat in time will become immune eacl
crop surviving the attack being stronger than tn
last We may see the time when, without the add

1t is great country we live in;
great in size and yet yearly smaller
in accessibility; infinitely varied
and yet one, more uniform than any
equal body of humanity on earth.
This is written in Reno, Nevada,
an cnterprising wide-awakc western
town, which the outside world
knows for only one thing, and that
the thing which concerns the ma
tves least of all.
It is only a nights ride away from
California. and yet it is already a
different world. Last night it was
summer in California; this morning
it was winter at Truckee, and to-
day it is crisp autumn in Reno, the
sharp air and the coloring leaves
speaking of the impending winter
which in California We forget is a
part of the normal year elsewhere.
Tomorrow morning it will be sum-
mer in California again. Thus mod
crn improvements defy the laws OF
space and time.
Reno, to it's exotic colonists, who
come here as to hospital, for an
operation of social surgery, is "out
of the world"-that is, out of their
world.
They arc as provincial as the ma
tives, and find the adjustment from
New York to Reno much harder
than the native Of Reno would find
it in the reverse direction. But to
the true Nevadan, it is not out OF
! the world.
It is the center Of his world. And
good world it is. Even the vast
uninhabited spaces, which constitute
most of Nevada, are something OF in
spring beauty.
In the mountains is gold and sill

| soil of unmatched richness. There
is only little Of it, but what there

ONE CHILD WITH MEASLES
MAY INFECT 20 OTHERS

although the skin does not actually
peel as in scarlet fever.
This process lasts about week,
and the fever will disappear. This
is a description of mild case Of
measles.
Some cases of measles are more
malignant. The child may suffer
from commissions, from high fever.
and excessive development Of all the
ordinary symptoms, or the rash
when it appears instead of being red
may be bluish-black discoloration,
in appearance much like a recent
bruise.
In all cases great care should be
taken that bronchial pneumonia does
not develop. Bronchial pneumonia
is one of the most fatal Of all tho
complications Of measles. While all
severe cases may not be grave, you
should be constantly on the alert
lest bronchial pneumonia develop.
Measles is serious disease and
spares very few exposed persons
who have not had it.
The old idea, still prevalent among
The uniformed, to the effect that
children should be exposed to meas
les early in order that they may
have the disease and get it over with
is erroneous.
Chilling May
Cause Pneumonia
A child with measles should be put
tn he'd and kept there as long as it
has any fever or cough. The room
should be airy but it should be dark
ened because children with measles
are very sensitive to light.
The bed clothes should be thin be-
cause the child is apt to become too
warm, kick off the comforters and
| suffer from cold. A chilling of
| this kind may predispose to pneu-
| monia. Food should be- light and
should consist chiefly of nutritious
; broths, soft boiled eggs. and the like
Milk, unless certified and of
known purity, should be pasteurzed.
A little iced lemonade will prove
comforting to the inflamed throat,
and is usually we'll borne, particu-
larly in older children.
The child's eyes should be kept
| clean and should the fever run high
the comfort of the patient may be
increased by sponging with tep'd
water and alcohol. Every child SICK
with measles should have skillful
attention given ny tne 1aWlAy phys
| ician.
When the fever and cough have
! gone, the child may be allowed to be
| up and about the room, but should
not be allowed to indulge in violent
exercise because measles weakens
! the heart muscle to some extent.
| The cause Of measles is not
known. We do know, however, that
the infection of measles is found in
| the secretions from the nose and
. throat beginning with the first stage
of the disease; therefore, a person
suffering from measles should not
be allowed to come in contact with
we'll persons until the period of fever
has passed.

I expect the whole stoklcy conncc-
ton was much disappointed. Mother
says that Karl is looking and seems
to be feeling much better than he has
for long time. She is going to
live with him when she gets home
and while it makes me quite unhap-
by in a way, it is perhaps the best
thing all around for all of US.
You know. of course, that we have
Jacks mother with us now. and it
seems to me she gets worse and
worse every day.
She has taken a notion that I am
leaving the children too much in the
care of Hanna with whom she is in
"a state of open warfare.
The other day Mrs. Prescott went
to John privately and said she
thought Jack, Jr., was unkind to his
little brother. John, instead Of COM
ing to me, made the mistake of 60
ing to the boy himself and accused
him of unkindness.
OF course, you know that Mrs.
Prescott is very jealous Of Jack, Jr.
Knowing that he has been adopted,
she takes the stand that Sydney, our
youngest child, should have had his
fathers name, etc. and that is the
reason she is always trying to stir
up trouble.
This las interference on her part
was terrible. You know that little
Jack worships Sydney and his heart
was broken to be accused Of being
unkind to him any way, especially
as Mrs. Prescott was present and ac-
cused him of telling an untruth, and
his father seemed to believe ms
grandm other instead OF him.

Nav Revive APPOINTMENT

There is gossip that President Coolidge will try
to accomplish the appointment of Charles Beecher
Warren as attorney general. There is some talk
that Attorney General Sargent will retire and go to
the United States senate. Those who are CONVEX
SAINT with the facts declare that Coolidge felt bitterly
the action OF the senate in rejecting the appoint
ment of Warren for whom the President has great
admiration.
Conditions have changed which might pave the
way for a confirmation of Warren. Senator Ralston
is dead and Senator Ladd's seat vacated without
prospect OF immediate appointment. Both Ladd and
Ralston opposed Warren's confirmation.
