THE PRESIDENT AND THE
FARMER,

President Coolidge at Chicago last December
suggested that the American farmer shouldn't ask
the Government to help him out of his distress He
should lift himself up by his own bootsraps the
President, in effect, intimated
The President got a lot Of criticism for that
speech.
But it may be the criticism wasn't entirely
justified. For the President has been demonstrat-
ing ever since December that it is quite possible to
lift oneself by ones bootstraps. He has been doing
it. He has been lifting himself out Of the hole that
speech put him in.
Conditions haven't changed Economic law
hasn't changed But Coolidge has He has lifted
himself several higher in the estimation of the
farmers. 1t is long step from that speech to the
present farmer relief bill, drawn by his Secretary of
Agriculture and having the Presidents support 1t
Is still longer step from the speech the President
made at the opening of the present Congress. in
which he said:
They the farmer) do not wish to have mod
ding on the part of the Government or to be placed
under the inevitable restrictions involved in anv
TEN of direct or indirect price-fxing which wou1d
permit the Government TO operate in the Agricultural

Just how far the President has lifted himself
from this position is made clear by a dispatch from

IS PER CENT STREAM
WATER UNHEALTHFUL

Devotees Of outdoor sports are being
warned by health authorities of the
danger OF water-borne diseases lurk-
ing in so-called virgin water, and
urged to carry drinking supplies OF
known purity with them.
Not less than So per cent of the
waters in streams and lakes of the
United States is unfit to drink" is
the startling statement by noted
scientists who have been investigat-
ing this health menace.
No drinking water can be regard
ed as pure and safe for drinking, no
matter how sparkling it may appear"
declares DR.. Max Levine, professor Of
sanitary bacteriology, Iowa State Col
lege. Mountain brooks are subject
to pollution by hunters and campers
and should be regarded as potentially
dangerous. There are a number oil
records of serious typhoid epidemics
spread by water obtained from sup
posedly pure mountain brooks and
springs"
DR.. Levine suggests that tourists
and hunters carry supplies of bottled
carbonated beverages. In this he
agrees with DIR. Lulu Hunt Peters. of
San Francisco, noted health author
ity, who points out that: "In series
of studies on carbonated beverages
which were bottled by reliable houses.
it was found that those carbonated
drinks were quite free from bacteria"
These tests were made at Mellon In
stitute and showed that carbonic gas,
as used in manufacturing these bey-
erages destroys and prevents the
growth of dangerous bacteria, includ-
ing typhoid germs.

SPINACH IS DELICIOUS
CHOPPED, DREAMED

When you are tired of spinach as
such try chopping it very fine and
serving it with a cream sauce. While
in general the ideal way is to serve
such green vegetables with merely a
bit of fresh butter, an occasional adj
dition OF cream sauce does add TO
the food value along certain lines and
much TO the palatablencss.

Crooks Rarely Escape
Scotland Yard

London.-(P)-The growth in traffic
from London's airport at Croydon TO
the Continent has necessitated in
creased activity by Scotland Yard in
order to catch international crooks.
Each passenger who boards or leaves
a plane at Croydon is now scrutin-
lied by detectives from the famous
British police headquarters.
Scotland Yard is very proud Of its
record in nabbing law breakers at the
numerous seaports of the south of
England. A crime is committed In
London, and the criminal usually
dashes for the south coast, which
is only seventy-five miles away. An
hours channel crossing puts him in
France and safety-perhaps.
But they rarely get away. The
moment a murder is committed. a
rich jewel haul is made or big
robbery reported in any part of
Britain. Scotland Yard clamps down
its vigil on the coast-and. like the
Northwest Mounted Police in Can
ada, Scotland Yard usually gets its
man.

Ragdolls

In many of the early New Eng

heirlooms. They We're of all sizes,
and attired in all sorts of quaint
costumes. The only points in COM
mon were that their faces were in
variably fiat their hands stiff and
rigid and their toes turned out in
"west-footed" manner Somestimes
they had black buttons for eyes, but
more frequently their faces were
painted with beet and fruit juices.
However. their eyes. noses ami
mouths were sometimes emproidered.
For hair they had toupees of yarn or
hemp or small lunches of real hair,
Their clothing was usually of the
full-skirted variety and they some
times wore sunbonnets of the same
material as their dresses. One doll
of this type is said to have pleased
the daughters of one New Hampshire
family for more than eighty years,

Battleship Maine
Monument Destroyed

Havana, Oct. 20-(P)--The monu-
ment to the battleship Maine was
destroyed by the West Indian hurri-
cane which swept over Cuba today.
Only the base and the guns from the
WarShip remain.
The monument erected by the Gu
ban government in honor of the 266
Americans who lost their lives in the
battleship Maine which was sunk by
an explosion in Havana Harbor in
1898, was levelled. Only the base
and the two ten-inch guns, relics of
the battleship. remain. The twin
marble columns are fallen, and the
American eagle which graced the
top, was blown away and has not
been found.
The destruction In Havana and
Havana Harbor was widespread.
Many ships We're sunk or badly dam
aged. The Belan and National OBJ
servatories We're wrecked. oil and
gasoline tanks were blown down, and
tllmsy structures collapsed.
The sea rose many feet, in the low

houses. Trees fell by the score.
