ANNUAL LOSS
FROM SMUT CAN
BE STOPPED
This Years Wheat Smut Has
Caused Millions Of Dollars
Loss in Il. s.

This is the treatment for smutty
wheat rs recommended BY the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Farmers Bulletin No. 5O7. There
are other treatments which are rec
commended by various agencies,
among which is the Copper Carbon
ate treatment, which is dry pro-
cess and little more easily handled.
This process should produce equally
as good results as the Formalin
treatment. Perhaps in No. Dakota
the dry treatment will work out best
on account Of freezing in the Spring.
The Copper Carbonate Treatment
The sponsors of the Copper Car
Donate dust method Of seed wheat
treatment claim for it even better
results than any Of the other meth
DDS. Attention should first be di-
rected, however, to the fact that Cop
per Carbonate is a fine pois us
dust and care should be exercised
in handling so that none of it is in
hailed into the lungs.
To treat smutty seed wheat prop
erly by this method-the seed should
be put into key, barrel, box or any
kind of mixer which can be revolved.
The mixer should be as air tight as
possible 10 prevent tne POISONOUS
dust from sitting through. Use the
cleanest seed you have. y
Use from two to four ounces of
Copper Carbonate dust for each
bushel of seed to be treated and to
be effective, the mixer should be
used about two minutes or until
each kernel has been thoroughly
covered with the dust. This treat
ment will not injure the seed in any
way, but on the contrary, is claim
ed to aid the termination and can be
used at any time as it does not de-
teriorate.
To insure the user of this process
against inhalation of the poisonous
dust wet cloth should be tied over
the nose and mouth, as the dust will
cause a sickening effect and this
should be guarded against.
Now Is The Time
Farmefs are urged to use some
sort Of treatment to reduce the grow
ing losses due to this expensive dis
ease, which runs into thousands of
dollars in the State of No. Dakota
alone.

MEDIC
TALKS ABOUT
HEALTH RULES
CirculatOry Ills Cause Half of
Insurance Companies
Destinations

New York, Dec. l2.-tP) -"Trcat
yourself as you would your bank ac-
count" do not follow new fads and
take plenty of exercise in the open
air, are some of the ways to lessen
the Twentieth century strain upon
the middle-aged, DR.. Edwin W.
Dwight Of Boston, told the Associa-
ton Of Life Insurance Presidents.
Fifty per cent of the destinations of
almost any life insurance company
are due to circulatory diseases, the
physician said, pointing out that at
the age of thirty, just when man is
becoming of real value to his family,
community and nation, these diseases
begin to appear.
After a long survey, DR.. Dwight
concluded that the incidence of cir
culatory disease is in inverse rela-
ton to the amount of physical exer-
else which IS taken in open air, and,
other things being equal, it is in
direct relation to the amount of ner-
vous and mental strain.
Rules of Health
His rules of health follow:
do not follow ideas because they
are new. Consider the Laws of
Moses which have stood the test of
more than thirty centuries.
DO not follow fads, or become ex-
tremists in your habit of life. If
the Lord had intended you to be her.
bivorous he would not have given
you teeth in the upper jaw. If car
nivorous, you would have had canine
teeth and claws with which to tear
your meat. You were created to be
omnivorOus-therefo eat plainly
of mixed diet. Fuel is necessary for
the creation of energy, and oxygen
for the combustion of fuel. AS much
energy is needed for mental effort as
for physical. The working horse
needs more grain than the one which
stands in the stall.
"Treat yourself as you would your
bank account. Make more deposits
than you draw check, and you will
create a reserve which will be avail
able in those physical and mental
emergencies which come to us all.
Many Of the symptoms which we have
and the conditions which are demon
strated on examination are simply
notices from the bank that our ac-
count is overdrawn.
"Circulatory disease is largely 4
personal affair and its prevalence is
in inverse relation to the amount Of
physical work done in the fresh air.
The more combining your occupation
the more iniUOrtant il is for yOn to
keep this in mind.

GITL0W GIVEN
A PARDON BY
N. GOVERNOR
Was Convicted in 1920 for
Violation of State Grim
inal Anarchy Act
HAS BEEN IN SING SING
81 Am Satisfied That the Ends
Of Justice Have Been
Met" Says Smith

Albany, N. Y, Dec. l2.--LP Ben
jamin Gitlow, communist, who has
served time in Sing Sing for advocat-
ing the overthrow of the government
by force, has been pardoned by Gov
ernor Smith. He was convicted in
1920 for violation of the state Grim
inal anarchy act.
Gitlow published in q radical maya
zine manifesto by the left wing of
the Socialist party which the state
charged advocated the overthrow Of
the government BY force.
I The governor, in granting the par
don yesterday, left no doubt that he
was convinced of Gitlow's guilt. The
only question, the governor said, was
"whether or not he has been suffi-
GENTLY punished for a political
crime pointing out that he had &C
tually served a longer term than
James J. Larkin. Irish agitator, whom
the governor pardoned in 1925 and
who was convicted under the same
act.
Two Justices Dissented
Another circumstance which gave
weight to the governors clemency
was the fact that two justices Of the
state court of appeals dissented from
the majority opinion unfolding the
conviction.
81 assume" the governor said. cit
must be upon the same reasoning
given in the Larkin decision which,
in effect, was that these men did not
advocate anarchy, which is the abb
sence of all organized government
but Il new and radically different
form of organized government.
II am satisfied that the ends of
justice have been met the governor
concluded, land no additional pun
ishment would act as deterrent to
those who would preach an erroneous
doctrine of government. That he was
convicted and was in prison is suf-
ficicnt."

20 Americans and Several
Britishers Caught in Midst
of the Rattle
TRAIN SENT ia
No Casualties Reported
Among the Americans or
Other Foreigners

Picking, Dec. Twenty
passengers on the international
train which left Picking for Tientsin
yesterday. were caught in the midst
of battle between the troops of
Feng iu-Hsiang and Chang Tso- Lin
near Yangtzun, north of Tientsin
last night.
The train also carried fifty Ital-
ians marines on their way to the
coast after doing guard duty in the
capital. The passengers, including
some women and children, are report
ed to have lain between the tracks
under the stopped train to escape
the Chinese shells.
During the night the train was
sent back to Langfang. A truck load
of provisions has arrived there and
it is presumed the passengers are
comfortable. although temporarily
out of communication with Picking.
1t is not known whether the train
will return to the capital or attempt
to get through to Tientsin.
Furious Battle In Progress
A battle was raging furiously at
o'clock between Tientsin and Peht-
sang, on the coast.
The train was caught between the
opposing forces when an armored
train from Picking, following in its
wake. landed 1000 troops with artil-
lery and opened fire on the Mukden-
ties.
The passengers had alighted from
the stalled train with the intention
Of walking the remaining distance
20 Tientsin when the firing began.
They raced back to the train and
took refuge under the coaches from
4, the bursting shells.
IanGfang, to which the train was
withdrawn, is outside the present
battle zone. 1t is reported that
there were no casualties among the
Americans Or other foreigners.
