TO THE EDITOR AND READERS
OF THE PRODUCERS NEWS:
We have finally covered the first
lap of our journey after four days
strenuous drive. arriving In Fertile,
Minn., our old home town, happy
bunch.
We started from my brother Hen
rvs place on Monday at IL o'clock
and reached Ray, N. D., where we
stayed in the tourist camp over night.
Tuesday it rained all day so we en-
cOuntered very badly roads between
Tagus and Berthhold, where it is very
hilly country and the soil is soapy
clay. We arrived in Minot all cover
ed with mud.
The third night we stayed with D.
F. MoelleT in Devils Lake, where we
remained until II o'clock the next
day. We reached Fertile Thursday
evening.
We took in market day at Fertile
Friday where we see many old friends
and relatives.
This morning the ground was COW
cred with snow and it is still snow
ing. 1t looks like we will be snow
bound here. Hope that Pettie's pre-.
dictions will come true, SO we may
get some nice weather yet.
With best wishes to all our friends
and readers of the Producers News.
Very truly,
J. C. GRONVOLD

STUDENTS SAY ADAM
BUILT ARK; DECLARE
JERUSALEM IN EGYPT

Duluth, Minn.-Lack of religious
knowledge among high school and
college students, evil influences af-
fecting children by cirtue of modern
ideals and apparent lack of proper
environment in many homes were de-
plOred by the Rev. c. A. Wendell, in
structOr in the Minneapolis Lutheran
university, in an address before the
18th annual conference of the AssOci-
alton of English Churches of the Aug
ustana Synod of North America. The
conference closed a fOur-day session
here Sunday.
The Rev. Wendell stated results of
test, conducted among 80 high
school studnets, revealed that;
Two said Adam built the ark; one
declared Eve was the mother of God;
three believed the Ten Command
ments were given on the Mount of
Olives; seven asserted Jerusalem is in
Egypt, and six said the prOdigal son
failed to return to his father.

About 4OuF
Health
Things You Should Know
tuberculosis Germs Not Inherited.


Most anybody nowadays can
write or speak intelligently of tu-
berculosis. My little neighbor,
lad of ten, not yet in Junior High"
refers gravely to "T-B" when con-
versing with his play-fellows; the
learned scientists and the statisti-
clan bewilder US with technical
facts. What to do with the dis
ease however-to combat it sue
cessfully-remains a dark and un-
fathomable secret. We have found
out to certainty that its cause is
a definite bacillus, a living, virile
organism, shaped like a rod, multi
plying by dividing itself into short
er sections when each individual
reaches maturity. Colonies assem-
bled produce peculiar tissue-growth
-tubercules, nature trying to
ward off the intruder. When the
baccilli develop destructive power
within the tuberclc, its walls break
down, and general tuberculosis re-
suits.
The outstanding fact to be re-
membered in tuberculosis is, it is
communicable. People do not in
herit germs-they are acquired. A
child may be infected, and harbor
the bacteria for years without
symptoms. Let him get influenza,
or pneumonia or even a severe
"cold" and the tubercle baccilli
awaken to do serious mischief. This
brings up a positive conclusion:
All tubercular patients should be
subjected to rules of quarantine.
They should be taught to save and
burn all expectorated matter, and
should sleep alone, using individu-
al bed-linen. Their towels should
be kept separate and sterilized by
boiling.
The germs when dry, blow every
where! A dozen school children
racing along in their glee inhal-
ing millions of these deadly germs
If there is an ordinance in YOUR
town against splitting on the side
walk, make it include the entire
street at your next meeting!

BAD ROADS AND
DELAYED Mail

The following article was handed
in to the Producers News by rural
mail carrier from Antelope and is OF
interest to all patrons of rural mail
service wherever they may be locat-
ed.
1t has come to the attention of the
Department that there are many rur-
al routes throughout the country on
which there is a short stretch of bad
road which makes it impossible for
the rural carrier to use a motor con-
veyance during all or the greater
part of the year. If this short
stretch of road were improved, OF
eliminated, it would be possible for
the rural carrier to use a motor con-
veyance for muh greater period
and thereby rende- better service to
the rural public in eXpediting the
delivery of mail over the entire route
Carriers will bring such bad
stretches to tla attention of postmas-
ters.
The Department will also be glad
to help in Obtaining the improvement
of roads whre postmasteTs and rural
carriers, afer proper endeavor, are
unsuccessful.
The Department will further con-
slider the amendment of route tC
avoid a short stretch of bad road
where only a few families are incom-
moded and where the elimination OF
the short stretch of bad road would
make It possible for the carrier to use
a motor conveyance for a longer peri
cd daring the year and thus permit
ting of an earlier delivery of the mai
to MS patrons. Recommendations fol
such changes will be submitted to the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Division of Rural Mails.

VISITOR AGAIN Re-
MINDED OF P'WOOD
DE PAUL ACADEMY
1910 Webster Avenue, Chicago
October 13, 1925.

Editor,
Producers News,
Plentywood, Mont.
Dear Sir:
Last night at the Chicago Theatre,
I was delightfully."- surprised when,
after reading one of those humorous
items from the Press selected for the
screen, 1 learned that it was taken
from your publication.
I believe that this is not the first
time that the "News" has been so
recognized, but I appreciated the in
cident of last night, because of my
having spent the summer in Plenty
wood.
If you wish to use this letter for
publication l shall be glad of the op-
portunity to express something cf
the pleasurable memory of my visit
to the home of my sister. Since re
turning to Iowa and Illinois l have
often remarked that one thing at
least has not disappeared entirely
from the West-its spirit of hospi-
tality.
Very truly yours,
J. LEO SULLIVAN.
