great service this surgeon rendered
to humanity. He blazed the way of his
profession in abdominal surgery when,
in 1909, he performed a difficult opera

his profession to save countless other
lives afterward. Doctor Mcdowell

often in financial matters as well as
being the custodian of their health

born in Rockbridge county, Virginia,

the science in which he early decided
to spend his life. After obtaining what

FRIDAY, OCT. Ia, 1927.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, says that
farm relief is imperative. Senator
Borah is a Republican, though a
mighty Independent one. He is still
considered as in the party, but we
doubt that he knows what the real
leaders of the party, the Coolidges,
the MELONS, the Shoots, and the
other spokesman of big business pro-
pose to do, 1t is true that farm re-
lief of some sort is imperative If
farming is to survive as business.
Farmers cannot continue to run the
business at an ever increasing loss.
Each year the farmer finds it more
difficult to hold on and more and
more are letting go and seeking to
live in some other way Now we be-
lieve that there is but one real
means of relief. That is readjust-
ment of the tariff. The farmer can
not continue in the business il he
must continue to pay with his de-
preciated dollar the present high
prices for the things that he must
buy. 1t will be difficult for him to
continue unless he is able to get farm
help of better quality and at less
cost. He cannot get better or cheap
er help so long as farm help is being
attracted to the cities by high wages
paid by protected, manufacturers and
the immigration laws keep out the
foreign supply of such labor. Farm
relief may seem imperative but real
farm relief will not come until the
farmers and others not participants
of the profits from manufacturing
demand and secure drastic cut in
the present tariff rates.-Dover, Del,
Index.

THE AGE OF MACHINERY

Modern mechanical equipment has
made possible unthought-of effic-
iency.
Whether it be in electric attach
ments for the home, such as washing
machines, percolators and so on, OF
labor saving machines for industry
and the farmer, power driven ma
chinery has done more than any
other agency to abolish drudgery and
time-wasting.
The modern housewife can dc
practically all of her work by pres
sing button or turning switch
the factory owner can limit his en-
ployees to we'll paid experts and still
increase his. output by using the
latest type of machinery; road build
ers, lumbermen, and construction
engineers can accomplish the indus
trial feats of today at lower cost
with the powerful Caterpillar" trac-
tors, mammoth shovels, excavators

WE ARE ALL AMERICANS

Learned editorials in big metro
politan newspapers, discussing the
inferiority complex of farmers as a
class, lead to no good result.
Perhaps this complex is more
marked as a characteristic on the
part of the farm critics, for city
folks show woeful lack in general
knowledge of country affairs.
A great many farmers" have
become experts and prospered In
dairying, stock raising, fruit and
truck gardening, in spite OF metro
politan jibes OF hicks and rubes.

Guiding city journalists and syndl-
cate writer's, better conclude that we
are all Americans, with constantly

The farmers and ' country-bred
people may make up the majority OF

day, while the progressive and enter
prising jewellers and tillers OF the
soil are coming more and more from

VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS RECOG.
NIZED

A. A. Anderson, Secretary OF the
Pacific Coast Building-Loan Assocla-
ton, in an address at the PACING
States savings and loan conference
recommends newspaper advertising
as the most effective and economical
means of reaching the public. Fur
Their, he urged that the building-loan
associations throughout the United
States should have fund OF at least
S1,OOO,OOO for such campaign.
AS Mr.. Anderson knows, it has
been fully demonstrated that the
newspaper stands by itself as car
rier of messages to the greatest pos
sible number of people. 1t is the
only medium that is sure to reach
the citizens of community and be
read. This fact is being more fullS
appreciated every day.
The smaller city dailies and coun'
try weeklies are the great medium
for reaching the masses OF the peo'
pie who represent the majority OF
the reading and buying power OF
this nation.

WHEAT SMUT CONTROL PLANS
FORGE AHEAD

Approximately 10000 buSnelS OF
ICED wheat will be treated for smut
n Maryland this year ii estimates OF
county agents prove correct, it is an
,ounced by DR.. Thomas B. Symons,
irector of the University OF Mary
and Extension Service.
Information supplied by the coun-
v agents to DR.. Symons not only in
iicates that farmers are alive to the
erious situation resulting from the
'educed prices for smutty wheat but
hat adequate preparation nas been
made in most of the counties for the
: reatment of wheat to BE seeded this
fall.
The use of copper carbonate dust
n the treatment of seed wheat Is
surrounded with some difficulties
lmong them being the necessity for
adequate treating apparatus. The
dust is highly poisonous and If inhal-
I'd causes serious illness. Conse-
quently it is necessary for the indi-
gidual farmer to construct an air
light device which he can use, in
mixing the dust with the wheat or to
have his grain treated by someone
equipped to do it properly.
In some of the heavier wheat pro-
1ucing counties, miliers have acquir7
I'd machines particularly designed
,or the purpose of treating wheat
with copper carbonate dust and
.harge a reasonable fee to farmers
for treating seed wheat. In many
communities treating devices, gener-
ally constructed from vinegar or mo-
!asses barrels, are used in turn by
one farmer after another so the one
piece of apparatus is made to serve
large number of people.
Most counties, according to the in
formation supplied to DR.. Symons,
are we'll equipped with one or more
types of treating apparatus and
every means possible is being en-
ployed to bring the Importance of
wheat treatment to the attention of
farmers.

TAXES AND INDUSTRY

Taxes may be so high, says a
prominent political economist, that
great multitudes of people are
thrown out of work, because indus
try is rendered Improbable,
"A tax" he says, may take out OF
the pockets of the people more than
it brings into the public treasury.
The high tax that drives capital out
of industry is tax of this sort.
The voice of experience instructs
us as to the harmful and unacceptable
results of taxation made so high as
to defeat it's own ends and to bring
upon the people unforeseen and end
less burdens.
Too much taxation and regulation
of industries prevent development of
Our Country along the payroll and
dinnerpail line.

Succession of Ideas
Produced Motor Car

The history of the motor car began
over $50 years ago, when Street, an
English inventor, first utilized oil as
motive power. It was not until 1870
that really practical petrol engine
appeared. II was the work of Julius
Hook. Of Vienna.
The neXl name connected with the
progress nt The motor car Is the most
important If all-that of GOttlieb
Daimler. III 1888 Daimler made the
first small high-speed petrol engine;
all previous engines had been huge,
clumsy and slow-mOving.
Two years later he installed his en-
CINE in a motor-bicycle, and at the
same time fitted boats with motors and
ran them at Paris.
The boats attracted the attention of
Levassor. another famous pioneer, who
at once saw the immense possibilities
in Daimler's invention. He bought the
French patents from the inventor. Lee
vassor invented a system of transmits.
sion-a method of taking the power
from the engine to the wheels-and
with a few small improvements this
system is in use today.

WHEN THEY GO TO SCHOOL

"Underweight" was written OPP
posite the names of one out of every
six children examined at~the child
health conferences held throughout
the State under the auspices OF the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health, during the
first six months of the current year
-569 out of total of 5000 children
under seven years old. A large pro-
portion of the "underweights came
from the children who were getting
ready to enter school.
Commenting on these figures, Dr..
]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief OF the
Bureau said: Children who are
underweight may be getting plenty
of food, but they are not getting the
right sort of food.
1.-The youngster who has escaped
the perils of babyhood and OF the
four years following and has gradu-
ated from the before-school age into

Foods can be divided into three
groups:

ORDINARY, SENSIBLE CITIZENS
MUST REDUCE FIRE WASTE

Every year, fire, in this country,
burns property worth over half a
million dollars. In addition to this
loss, is the much greater loss caused
indirectly by unemployment result
ing from destruction of plants, loss
of profits and good will which comes
from interruption of business. 1t is
impossible to compute the increased
loss caused by these indirect agen-
cies, but it would be safe to say the
total is brought to well over billion
dollars year.
Think what this sum OF money
would mean if used for schools,
roads, or, what may be closer to the
heart, if it were used for government
al purposes and taxes lowered &C
fortune destroyed as completely as
if so many dollars were sunk in the
ocean.
Something must be done! There
has been laudable cooperation among
editors in this country who have
written unanimously on the subject,
doing their bit to stamp it out. But
that is not sufficient, valuable as 1t
is. There must be the wholesouled
opposition of the ordinary sensible
citizens of every locality. The care
less and irresponsible must be made
to feel the enmity of public opinion.
Fire loss can be checked. The peo-
Pile, and only the people, can do it.

INSIDE" INFORMATION

When cooking "wienies" out of
doors, try wire corn pepper.
Use the vinegar from bottle OF
sweet mixed pickles for making sal
ad dressing.
You can brine some of the late
vegetables and green tomatoes for
making pickle later on. The U. S.
D. A., will tell you how.
A bit of garlic rubbed around the
salad bowl,-just enough to give a
mere suggestion of flavor makes
an acceptable Improvement in flavor
for many people.
When choosing linoleum for the
kitchen floor, bear in mind the three
kinds plain, printed, and inlaid.
Plain linoleum is likely to show foot
prints and other marks easily.
Printed linoleum has to be varnish-
ed often to preserve the design. In
laid linoleum has a design which
goes clear through to the backing.
1t is consequently more expensive,
but the pattern does not wear off.
Meat loaf is one of the most appe-
tizing meat dishes you can serve.
Any lean meat may be used if gristle
and skin are trimmed off. From a
fourth to fifth as much pork as
beef is good proportion Ii pork
is not added, small amount OF suet
should be put through the chopper
with the meat.
Serve fresh tomatoes as often as
possible at this season-sliced or
stuffed for salads, broiled, fried, bak-
ed, or for havoring other dishes.
Tomato juice cocktail" is simply
tomato juice seasoned and chilled,
.aken as an appetizer before any
meal.

One Years. Moose Bag

II has been estimated that about
10000 moose are killed In Canada
each year. This seems heavy
slaughter, but far from there being
any danger of determination from
this toll taken by the moose hunter.
authorities in different sections are OF
the opinion that killing of twice
that number could be made each year
and the natural increase would def
nitely offset any danger of the extinc
ton of the moose.
