in destructive numbers in certain
of the grain fields in the southern
part of the Judith Basin. Farmers there
have plowed up and cultivated much

the wide participation by farmers is one
of the best records ever made in the
country.
The late September frost is estimated
to have don approximately 25 per cent
damage to the corn of Rosebud county
Only tLa late varieties were injured
emphasizing again the need for planting
only early maturing. acclimated strains
of corn. Most farmers have enough seed
needs and q few Of the more extensive
growers Of early varieties will have a
surplus.

Lindbergh Is Praised
for Fine Character
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
All the world is akin and on their
knees before the youthful adventurer.
Lindbergh. who has accomplished a
feat that seemed impossible. Would
he have had the nerve to succeed if
he had been addicted to smoking and
drinking, as most of our young men
are? On his flight he depended upon
a few sandwiches and water. He
would not take even coffee. When he
landed, all he asked for was a glass of
milk. His great success lies in the
fact that he had perfect control over
his own body--a fine specimen of a
clean, noble mind and elf-disciplined
body!
Let all who desire to be a success in
life take note OF what all scientists
and athletic leaders say, then note
how close this hero's life compares.
Mr.. Burbank said. Men who smoke
one cigar a day cannot be trusted
with some of my delicate work. owing
to the inability to concentrate their
nerve force"
Mike Donovan. for many years ath.
letic director of the New York Ath-
letic Club, says: "If q boy or young
man expects to amount to anything in
athletics, he must let smoking and
all kinds of liquors alone. They are
rank poison to athletic ambitions"
While we acclaim Mr.. Lindbergh. the
hero of aviation, we admire him first
Of all for being clean, high-minded
nan-one of Gods noblemen. He is
an honor to his God and his mother
and his country!

or what she has supervised the cook

With a smile edged with ice, she in.
sists that he have some more" de.
spite the plain fact that he has not
eaten half of what he has.
Every one else. In emulation of the
famous nursery rhyme couple, has
licked his platter clean. The hostess
looks significantly at the still heaped
plate of the offender.
His eyes plead for mercy. but there
Is no mercy for the man who will not
eat. Every other plate Is removed
first. leaving his to attract attention
through its repletion.
At last it is gone. and here comes
the ice cream.
IT am sure you can eat some OF
this" smiles the dear hostess, cut
tingly, and he bows his head in shame.
The number of mouthfuls he took,
he knows, were card-indeXed. But not
for future reference. Oh, no; never SO
happy a thing! The next time he
goes to dinner there, he knows, he
will be offered the same delicacies and
be made to feel equally miserable.
Such Is the fate Of the man who
cannot eat what Is placed before
him."
How sweet, then, on the tablets Of
his memory Is the mental picture OF
the other sort Of hostess-the dear
lady who either used foresight, was
subiimely lucky, or who Is just nat
urally able to make the guest at
home.
He has approached this table sus'
piciously, remembering his last ARRAY,
but no sooner is he seated than he is
put at ease.
The hostess is paying no particular
attention to him. he notes with vast
relief. What he eats or what he does
not eat, he suddenly realizes, does not
interest her particularly.
If he eats 1t all or il he does not
cat o bite, seemingly makes not the
slightest bit Of difference to her, whose
sole aim Is to make the guest happy
and at home.
Under this benign influence he
thaws out.
He begins to eat. Here at last is a
table that pleases him. Everything
before him, he notes with all sorts Of
satisfactio is the very thing that he
likes.
Whether she made wise inquiries in
advance or whother she was just
lucky makes no difference.
The important thing Is that no
tabulation is being made Of his mouth
fuls, no adding machine is being put
to work on his sips Of water, no higher
mathematics being exercised on his
cups Of coffee.
In a manner that absolutely aston.
ishes himself, the happy guest falls
to" and proves himself to be, for once
in his life, true feeder"
He breaks all records in the con
sumption of popovers. This Is a deli
cacy he never ate before in his life,
but he finds it suddenly entirely to his
liking.
Real genius was displayed by the
hostess when she selected popovers
BY subtle sixth sense she Is aware
that the guest is enjoying her food
and she is happy, as she has right
to be.
Let US leave our guest eating away
to leave a clean platter at last, with
everybody happy.

Press Welcomes Court Ruling
Supporting ''Syndicalism" Acts

ent in governments for their own pro-
lection" The st. Paul Pioneer Press
also explains: IL man speaks evil
of the democratic, form Of government,
1t is his right. But it is the right of
the Government under which he lives
to hold him responsible for his words
and to punish him when he urges it's
destruction" The Charleston Daily
Mail finds that any group that "defies
an organized government by force is
guilty Of treason" and adds that
"Mussolini recognizes this, and so does
Soviet Russia. and also the Govern
ment Of the United States and Of the
States"
Recognizing that 1.-The general prin-
ciple Of the Governments right to
protect itself is clear" the Asheville
Times states that "just when a threat
to the Government becomes serious
enough to justify the denial Of free
speech and assemblage can only be
determined in the individual case, and
then often only approximately" The
st. Louis Post-Dispatch raises the ad-
ditional point, "If the legislatures Of
Kansas and California are within the
law in outlawing syndicalism, what is
there to prevent them from outlawing
other kinds of opinion which might
strike them as dangerous, improper or
whatnot?"
"Such laws are by no means manda-
tory on any State" advises the Hart:
ford Times, land it is quite likely that
even California would find 1t better
policy in the long run to repeal her
law under which so admittedly harm

Washington Invites Lindbergh.

1t is most appropriate that the first
official invitation to be extended to
Charles Lindbergh on his return from
Europe should go from the city Of
Washington, where he spent his boy
hood and where he received his early
education That invitation has gone
to Paris from the District Commits
sioners, representing this community.
1t expresses the hope that Lindbergh
will give the people of Washington an
opportunity to pay him honor for his
exemplification of the courage and
spirit Of American manhood in the re-
markable feat he has just performed.
Plans for the reception to Lind
bergh cannot be made until his own
schedule is determined. He has been
invited to visit several of the Euro
pean capitals. These invitations have
gone to him from the heads of states.
His own inclination is to fly from
Paris to Brussels, to London, to Co.
penhagen. to Rome, to Berlin, to
Vienna, perhaps to Madrid. 1t is cer-
tain that wherever he goes he will be
received with greatest enthusiasm. If
he should carry out this plan, even
with the utmost speed, it will be sew.
eral weeks before he is ready to head
for home. BY that time the Presi-
dent Of the United States will
have gone to the Summer capital,
probably In South Dakota. So the
3 Washington reception will not be Of
national character. Yet later official
honors will doubtless be paid to Lind
bergh for his exploit, comparable to
those that have been bestowed upon
him already in Paris and that will
probably be given him in other cap
itals.
There will thus be time to arrange
an appropriate reception to the young
American who has thrilled the world
by his great achievement. 1t is, Of
course, hoped that he will bring back
with him to this country the plane in
which he flew across the Atlantic,
though he does not propose to make
the return trip by air. In that case,
landing doubtless in New York, where,
OF course, he will be vociferously ac-
claimed, he would probably fly to
Washington, and the hope is cherished
that he will make this the first ''hop"
in America. An escort Of airplanes will
in such case presumably accompany
him. His entrance here is certain to
be an impressive one, and the cere-
monies Of reception in which all
Washington will join will be such as
TO mark the occasion as notable in
the history Of this city Of countless
events Of public rejoicing and lauda-
tion.

What Is more disconcerting to a

This is an all too common practice
with otherwise kind ladies'. whose
anxiety that the guest enjoy their

tude.
In contrast to this hostess Is the

He detests, it is we'll known, certain

In the second place, he is very

But does our lady of the house take
these facts into consideration?
The answer Is made plain during
the meal. He Is proffered foods which
normally he never touches. Not only
is he proffered them-he Is given
extra large portions Of the same.
None too covert glances are cast

he is actually eating them. Perhaps
