A SPLENDID EXHIBIT

LA Moure County Chronice)
II anything were needed to restore confidence in
this section Of North Dakota the agricultural exhibits
at the La Moure community fair last week should have
turned the trick In spite of generally re-
garded as unfavorabe, the display of small grains,
corn, vegetables and fruits was most impressive.
The corn and potato exhibits were especially fine
magnificent specimens Of pumpkins, squashes, beets
turnps and other root vegetables shown most
markabe Of ALL considering the time of year, the
display Of fruits Nothing has been more definitely
established than the fact that splendid appies plulns
grapes and many other varieties Of fruit be
cessfuy grown here Having recently inspected SIM
liar exhibits at county fairs in Minnesota, Iowa and
Illinois, the writer does not hesitate to say that ours
in nearly every equaled and in many instances
excelled the specimens displayed in those states.
The showing OF poultry must have been gratifying
surprise to many whose observation has not kept pace
with the remarkable development Of this profitable
industry. However, it is pretty well known that
North Dakota fairly sparkles in poultry raising, it
does in bee culture and the production Of the finest
honey in the world.
The exhibits Of livestock were not very extensive
and were not intended to bebut they served to DEM
onstrate that La Moure county fright in the SWIM
when It comes to the development Of the best strains
OF beef and dairy cattle and Of sheep and swine.
The net result Of the exposition must have been q
renewal OF faith and pride in community, larger
recognition Of the vast fertility Of SOIL the peculiar
adaptabty Of our climate for producing the choicest
specimens Of fruits and vegetables, and to bring
assurance that the future of this community is big
with promise.

the handsome silver-haired delegate
from Alaska. Dams campaign took
him from Seattle way up north to
Nome and from there up the Yukon
river by boat to Fairbanks, where
important votes are to be had.
Everywhere the river boat
stopped along the Yukon Dan got
off and made a speech. His Demo-
cratic opponent is George B. Grigs-
by, who was seated briefly as Alas
ka's delegate 10 years ago and then
forced out after . contest. Grigsby,
according to word here, got started
late and couldn't get through the
rising ice in the river. So he flew
by airplane into the interior.
The principal campaign issue
centers on assumption Of territorial
powers by federal officials. Suther-
land favors the controller bill, which
would define the duties Of both
classes, forbid federal officers to
hold territorial jobs and perhaps end
a long conflict. While her husband
campaigns far away, Mrs. Suther-
land has charge Of the office and
thus virtually represents Alaska
here during the congressional recess.

The Republican campaign offices
are scattered all over Washington.
The main national committee head
quarters occupy two floors and some
additional space in the Barr build

found wherever one goes. Hoover's

in the Munsey Building. The con-
gressional campaign committee is in
the Albee Building. The senatorial
campaign committee, the foreign
language bureau and the radio
division are in the Transportation
Building. And so on.
There is . general agreement here
that Assistant Attorney General
Mabel Walker Willebrandt will not
realize her reported ambition to be-
come federal judge. Too much
opposition in the Senate, the expla-
nation is. Not only among Demo-
Gratis because of her "holy war" on
Smith, but among Republican SEN
ators with whose patronage she has
interfered.

SAVE THE TOADS'


ugly and venomous' gentle Shakespeare's
characterization Of the honest humble, useful toad
Ugly he is undoubtedly but if pretty is as pretty does
our warty hoptoad is Of tthe prettest of Gods
creatures And venomous he is not in any measure or
degree He does not warts; he does do any
thing nimca to mans interests. Indeed he is so val
liable an ally Of mankind that the United States bio
logical survey has deemed it necessary to the
ton to adopt measures Of humane conservation in order
not to destroy him.
From some dark, damp place the toad comes oozing
unostentatously at about the hour Of sunset. From
then on all through the night he eats voraciousy the
vicious insects which mans most persistent ene-
mics. Caterpllars and beetle larvae and weevils and
wireworms and leaf chafers are some Of the foes of
the farmer which the patient, numbering toad gobbes
all through the black hours At sunrise he goes out
Of sight again.
We have learned that the toad is harmless, and so
we 40 not 60 out Of way to kill him. But thought
!essly we are headed on the way toward his EXTERN
nation Our moving machines and binders STAY their
toad millions; the automobile kills thousands of toad
migrants And drainage, careessly installed destroys
the breeding places Of the toads.
The federal government, therefore, urges everyone
and especially every farmer to be cautious and
considerate possible Actual determination Of
American toads would be an American catastrophe.

WATER AS A REMEDY

Water is probably one Of the
most ancient Of all remedies used by
man. We. find reference to its use
| in the earliest medical literature, and
in studies of the Assyrian and Egyp-
tian records. The ancient Egyptians,
Hebrews and Persians all employed
water in the treatment Of disease.
The Chinese have records Of using
water for treating disease 1T least
700 years before Christ. During the
greatest years of ancient Sparta,
cold bathing was made obligatory by
law, and we find frequent refer
ences to therapeutic baths in Greek
mythology.
Hippocrates, the Father Of Mcdi-
cine, employed water in the treat
ment of fevers, ulcers. hcmorrhages
and a variety Of maIadies. lie evil
IDENTIFY understood the phenomena Of
reaction after . cold plunge, and he
prescribed friction rubbing to re-
cuperate.
According to Pliny, the great his
torian, the bath was used as the ex-
elusive method Of treatment during
five centuries Of Rome's greatness.
Under the Romans, the bath attained
a high degree Of development and be-
came so frequented by the people
that the popularity Of the Roman
Baths has never been exceeded. The
ancient ruins Of Rome and Pompeii
show an interesting selection of
bathing devices-cold water baths,
hot air and steam rooms, hot and
cold additions, and beautiful loung-
ing and resting rooms.
The Arabian physicians, who were
probably the most learned men dur
ing the middle ages, were enthusias.
tic advocates of water treatments in
curing fevers and many other dis
eases.
Very few of our modern methods
of employing water are really new,
but the applications Of water today
are just as effective as they were,
and can be more scientifically APP
piled with our increased knowledge
of the human body.
One of the best uses Of water for
cleansing the body is the plain warm
| water enema. One quart is usually
sufficient at time, and such enemas
should be used in every case Of acute
and chronic disorders, and their use
continued until the patient has en-
tirely recovered.
Since many Of the impurities Of
the body are eliminated through the
pores Of the skin, it is advisable
that we use frequent sponge or
shower baths to keep the skin clean
and the pores open. Every man,
woman and child should take at
least two Of these sponge or shower
baths daily. When cool or cold wa
ter is used, several shower baths
may be taken daily without any pos
sibility Of a weakening effect. Hot
tub baths afe enervating and should
not be used except in rare cases
where it seems advisable to bring
about q bodily relaxation. A clean
body inside and out cannot be a sick
body.
Ordinarily, l think it wise for q
person to drink whatever water he
is thirsty for, but during warm
weather it seems advisable, in addi-
ton to your regular water drinking,

the vegetables and fruits, the fish
and meats, the odds and ends are
traded in. Here, from squalid side
streets come the tired women and
children with their bags and baskets.
A few blocks away women in Paris
modes drive up to gilded fronts in
cars Of foreign make. In upper
Park avenue the women 60 on foot,
lodging the passing taxicabs. The
street gamins have learned to curse
at drivers who skirt close to them;
the little Rollos of lower Park
avenue have learned to order their
chauffeurs about.
The prince and the pauper live
within a comparatively few blocks.
Yet, strangely enough, neither seems
conscious of the others presence. I
have never seen q pauper from 1.-THE
other side of the bridge" wandering
through the aisles of the rich; nor
have / seen the money princes TAX
ing any glimpses at how the other
half lived.
To the impersonal visitor it be-
comes an interesting study in eco
nomics-hunger and thrift on one
side Of a bridge; overabundance and
extravaganza on the other!
Speaking of contrasts-In the
window of an exclusive furniture
emporium is displayed a bedroom
set. It has been made for the mil
lion dollar homes. Its cost would
take the annual salary of column
list, for instance. It is all exquisitely
and extravagantly carved.
Yet the window trimmer has
placed beside the regal bedstead a
81 alarm clock.
Somehow / like such disillusion-
ing and realistic touches. It makes
the scene more human.
The phrase making whoopee"
became so overworked in the Broad
way belt that Harry Hershfield, the
comic columnist, has endorsed
change to making BOOM boom. !"
And besides, Harry and Walter
Winchell have almost come to duello
over who invented the term
"whoopee." With several missing
precincts, Winchell, to date, seems
to have the best Of the argument.
The stoop-shouldered peddler of
umbrellas who appears in the con-
gested sections of the city with the
first rains, is also the fellow who
sells fans and sunshades on hot days,
vends storm rubbers on blustery days
and cheap scarfs in mid-season. He
is harbinger Of all Seasons sure

IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 16.-The same
Park avenue that splurges in
$25, 0O0-a-year apartments also
bickers over the purchase Of three
bananas.
The same Park avenue that pre-
sents to the world few blocks in
which extravaganza reaches its apex,
also presents to the world few
blocks wherein thrift reveals its
most cautious moments.
The same. Park avenue that pays
millions forV ITS ladies' Injuries also
stints its pennies for its ladies neces-
sites.
In all New York there is no street
of greater contrast.
Taken ct that point which raises
its arrogant face just beyond the
yawning driveways of the new
Grand Central arches, it expresses
every degree Of blatant and glar-
ing luxury.
Taken at that point where the
luxury begins to fade into a SEE
quence Of blousy tenements, it ex-
presses every degree Of struggle and
squalor.
Park avenue ends today in q
super-pushcart belt. Not even the
colorful side streets of the East
Side; not even the vivid and milling
Orchard street can boast a greater
display of pushcart wares.
From the huge charge accounts
Of few blocks away, Park avenue
suddenly becomes a street where
crowds haggle over pennies for the
very necessities Of life.
Here, under the broad shelter OF
the elevated tracks, the pushcarts
line in hollow square after the
fashion Of the French open market

THE WAR AND TROPICAL DISEASE

As the World recedes farther into history, it IS
interesting to note that in some ways this great
tragedy had what might call by.products Of inesti-
mable value to humanity.
The impetus which the war gave aviation is we'll
known. The art Of building and flying planes made
far greater advances than it would have in equal
period Of peace.
Now comes Hygeia, health magazine, to remark
that the development Of tropical medicine was aided
more by the war than by any other event in world
history.
Dysentery in Egypt and Gallpoli malaria in Salon.
ka, beri-ber in Mesopotaia and scurvy and sleeping
sickness in East Africa demanded the attention of
medical authorities-and got it. Research work was
done that might otherwise have had to wait many
years. As result, doctors know much more about
fighting these diseases than they ever knew BEFORE

WHERE LAW is NARROW

An s6-year-od man appeared in the police court At
Boston the other day to to charge OF vagrancy
The old chap was about done for. He Vermont
stonecuter by trade but age and i'll health had weak
ened him so that he could work longer. Homeless
and pennless he had drfted to Boston, hoping to be
sent to Jail for the winter he might have bed and
something to eat.
All of this he explained to the judge who listened
sympathetcally and prepared to sentence the to
three months in jail
Then however, it developed that the old man had not
lived in Boston for 80 years. Under the law, there
FORE he could not be found guilty Of vagrancy The
police obliged to turn him loose-to wander off
nobody knew where, and to do nobody knew what.
At first glance this looks like just another common
Of legal splitting. But it is something
than that. 1t is q symptom of the way great many
things are done by great many of us in this year Of
enlightenment 1928.
Most Of us are pretty well-intentioned. We would
really like live by the Golden Rule, if only it
not SO hard We would really like to be kind to the
helpless to relieve misery, to treat strange unfortun
ates our brothers.
But most of the time it is too much trouble. We
prepare to act and find that hands tied. We
are not big enough wise enough to cut the bonds
Of habit and inertia. So retain good Intentions
and the person intended help gets it in the neck
regardless.
Consider this Boston episode. The Judge on the
BENCH the prosecutor and the policeman all sin
cerely anxious to help the pitiabe old wanderer. Not
man in the court where he was arraigned wanted
him to continue in his misery.
Yet, in the end, he might as we'll have been sur
rounded by enemies!
Nobody there capable of cutting the knot and
seeing to it that the old got relief. Everybody
wanted to-but there diotc legal technicality
in the way; and everybody knows that this nation
stands second to in its respect for the law So
the old chap out Of luck.
One Of these days we'll learn that good intentions
not enough. Not enough? They're than
nothing at all. OF course it may have been great
soace to the old stonecutter, he wandered off
meet whatever variety Of starvation, WEAKNESS and
loneliness the fates might have in store for him. to
remember that the people who sent him away had given
him their best wishes.

Washington, Oct. 16.-1he Ma
tional Woman's Party, which has
opened up a campaign in New York
to defeat Governor Alfred E. Smith
in his home state, apparently entered
the political arena simply because it
loved to fight.
The party paraded up to Herbert
Hoover's office some time ago and
asked an endorsement of their aims,
to wit: To given women equal
rights under the law everywhere and
at the same time prevent any legis-
lation designed for the ) protection
Of women in industry and business.
Hoover was polite, but turned the
delegation down rather fatty.
Nevertheless, perhaps because Of
its friendship for Senator Charlie
Curtis, the militant ladies promptly
declared for Hoover. They're bitter
against Smith because he has cham-
pioned various measures for female
protection in New York state. But
Hoover also seems to be champion
Of feminine protection. In q report
Of the National Industrial Confer
ence Board in 1919, which the Re-
publican National Committee attrib-
utes to Hoover, one finds that
Hoover and Smith are pretty well
agreed Here's one paragraph:
"Women cannot enter industry
without safeguards additional to
those provided for men, if they are
to be equally protected -.
Special provision is needed to keep
their hours within reason, to pro-
hibit night employment in factories
and workshops, and to exclude them
from those trades Offering particular
dangers to women"
Two more entries in the contest to
pick the punkest campaign joke:
-Four months after Hoover Tor
SMITH takes office every bank and
factory in the country will be closed
down."
"Gracious, mol"
Sure, that's the Fourth Of july"
