THE REGION OF THE FIT.

" HE healthiest part of the United States
is the region beginning to the westward of
- the Great Lakes and stretching along the
Canadian border to the Pacific The census bureau
in survey of 81 states shows that the lowest
death rate for 1924 was in the states of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota Montana and Washing
ton. To these should be added Wyoming and Ne.
braska, where much of the same climatic con-
ditions prevail. South Dakota and Idaho were
not included in the survey.
By surprising contrast, the highest death
rate occurred in the wonder climates of Califor-
MIA and Florida, the home of promoters and real
estate agents. The rate in these states was
considerably higher than in such an admittedly
unhealthful state Mississippi, for instance. Of
course the golden voiced press agents of Cali
fornia and Florida will say that their death rate
is affected by the number of aged people already
i'll who seek these winter resorts. That may be
true to some extent, but it hardly can account
for the difference between the death rate of IL
thousand in North Dakota and 14.5 in Cali
fornia.
The whole northern part of the United States
Jared better in the survey than the southern,
which would indicate that heat takes greater
toll of lives than cold Recently we had an ex-
ample of the great strain which a torrid wave
puts on people, with heavy list Of fatalities. In
contrast the usual bodily reaction to a cold wave
is to make one feel better Certainly there is
not the exhaustion that is present at the end of
heat wave. If cold waves took any considerable
toll, the low rate disclosed in these northwestern
state would not be possible.
Wisconsin, with its delightful summers that
call to tourists and residents alike, and it's winters
that hold real thrills for all who like the out-of
doors, may well take pride in being the east
ern gateway to the region Of the fit.-Milwaukee

Any one who has kept correct acce

Any one who has kept correct account of the
costs of running automobile knows that the
good roads have saved to the owners Of automo-
biles considerably more than the license fees
which they have paid, says the Monticello Times.
Under the old system of bad roads the cost per
mile for running car was little more than
ten cents. The county agents who are compelled
to keep strict account of their operating expense
show that the cost of operating light car last
year was 7.3 cents per mile. Anyone travelling
5000 miles in such car saves $75, net saving
over the license of $63. One only has to use
his car 500 miles to pay the license fee. Let Us
have more hard roads so that the expense Of
maintenance can be kept to the minimum. The
reaction for paving is setting in now and will
continue to grow so strong as to force the Legis-
lature to give the people of the state the kind
of roads which not only make for economy in
transportation but for economy in construction,
for they will last a lifetime.

The other day were criticising person,
who knows more in one minute than will in
our lifetime-someone with whose utterances we
had about as much right to find fault as po-
litician has to criticise a statesman. The per-
son to whom we were making this unwonted
criticism said. "You know, critic is lame duck
who can't run himself, but who filings his crutch
at those who pass him the way to success. =
That certainly put crimp in sef-opinion-
atedness! We hope never to quite recover from
the shock of that plunge into the cold water
of realization. Try it on yoursbelf sometime
when you are finding fault with some one who
is head and shoulders above you in every way
you can think Of We assure you that you'll be
surprised at its effectiveness.

The separation of Colonel George Harvey
from the editorial staff of the Washington Post
was marked by the administrations quick turn Of
his suggestion that debt funding negotiations be-
tween the United States and France be held in
London Harvey made the suggestion in one
of his editorials, and the understanding was that
he was sending up balloon for the President. A
different complexion was put the situation,
however, as soon as members of the American
debt commission and the President had a chance
to deny it. Harvey left the Post, which he had
edited since his resignation as Ambassador to
Great Britain, without announcing his future

months try the experiment Of buying what lie

Farmers cannot control politics because

through political action. The way for him to dc

also guarantee him better price,"

Jardine Sounds
Warning to Halt
Wheat Fluctuations

Mandan, n. d., July - (AP) -
The grain exchanges were notified
today by Secretary Jardine of the
Agricultural Department that unless
they voluntarily take action to pre-
vent a repetition of the recent price
fluctuations, he will go the full limit
of the law in compelling them to do
so.
During the investigation carried
on by the Department of Agriculture
to Determine the causes of these dis
astrous price changes" he said in
Fourth of July address here, Il made
certain suggestions to representa-
tives of the Chicago Board of Trade
and called upon them to consider
constructive measures to prevent a
similar situation in the future. AS
l see it, the grain exchanges of this
country perform useful function
at least, we have perfected no better
system of marketing. But when the
price of wheat f1uctuates IL or Is
cents in a day it indicates to me that
there is something wrong.
There is no agency that can bring
about more effectively a correction
of this situation than the grain ex-
changes themselves. They must
realize that they have to a large eX-
and can regain this only by thor
oughly putting their house in order.
If they fail voluntarily to take APP
propriate action it is my purpose to
exercise to the fullest extent sucn
powers as the existing law gives me
to require them to do So"
The Secretary's warning was de-
livered in the course of an exhaus-
tive discussion of the agricultural
problems of the country, for whose
solution he suggested these policies:
Better farm business methods, in
Guiding as far as possible the adjust
ment of production to the prospec-
tive needs of the consumer.
Greater reliance by individual
farmers and farm organizations upon
the information service and advice
of the Department of Agriculture
The maintenance of a liquid cash
and staple reserve by farmers to
tide them over bad crop years, as
against reinyestment of all available
profits in more land.
Crop diversification, both as a pro-
lection against losses from the fall
ure OF a single CROP and for its effect
on the fertility of the land.
Greater attention to the production
OF vegetables, eggs, butter and SINH
lar products at home to reduce "out
of pocket" costs of the farm.
More diligence in procuring the
best available results from the land
already under cultivation in the
opening up of new agricultural areas.
Further Standardization and grad
ing of farm products to insure the
best market price and simplify mar
keting.
A more adequate application of the
cooperative marketing policy tend
ing toward increased efficiency in the
associations already in existence
rather than the formation of new as
sociations.
No recommendations for legisla-
ton were contained in the Secre-
tarys speech, which was directed
rather to the methods by which the
farmer can help himself better his
condition through intelligent appIi-
lation Of the accepted principles of
sound business.
