Trouble In Store For
Medicine Lake Spe0ders

There are a number of drivers of
both automobiles and trucks that
have been endeavoring to lower
some of Barney Oldfeld's track re-
cords on the streets of Medicine
Lake. and in some instances we
believe they have almost succeeded.
A bit of warning to those drivers
at this time shonld be welcome. as
this reckless and fast driving within
the town limits is going to be
stopped.
The Towns traffic ordinance has
been recently revised and prohibits
driving through the streets at a
speed of over is miles per hour. Ii
also provides for fines for parking
or drying on the wrong side OF the
street for turning between inter
sections and for not going around
The penalties to be imposed fol
violations of the ordinance are, tC
use a slang term, plenty rough
and while the ordinance has not
been enforced to any great extent
in the past, it is going to be in the
future.
A special police will be ON tht
lob next week and those who fail t
heed this timely warning will have
an opportunity to tell it to th'
Judge. =. Medicine Lake Wave

A report of the condition of the chill
dren will be mailed to the parents some
time during the present week. Yon may
have wondered why your children are
not doing we'll in school, II the defects
are taken care of, you will undoubtedly
notice marked improvement in their
work here at school,
| One of the saddest findings of the re-
port would be that of the large number
mal-nourshed children. This does not
mean teat they are not getting enough
to eat but rather that they are not getting
the right things to eat. Upon questioning
the pupils as to their diet, the nurse
found that they were eating too much
candy. white bread and starchy foods,
with decided lack of enough of whole
wheat bread, milk, vegetables and whole
grained cereals.
The Northeastern section of Montana
will have on opportunity of sending chill.
dren to a sunshine camp a great dea
nearer home than ever before. This
summer there will be conducted "Sun.
shine Health Camp" at or near Sydney
Mont. children who are more than ter
percent underweieht should be sent tc
such a camp for month or more during
the summer. This tuition is only SIS OF
per month, just enough to cover the ex.
pense Of the cook. The Montana Tuber
culosis Association pays the nurse AM
other expenses
The average gain in weight at thes,
camps in the summer is about five pound
per child per month Some cases running
as high as ten and twevle pounds. This i
brought about by: three well balanced
meals with two mid day lunches, plent.
of PLAY, which should be well supervised
long hours of sleep in the open with plent,
OF sunshine; some handcraft: first aid
setting up exercises which will aid
child to create correct habits. Before
child is sent to such a camp he SHOULD
have all such defects as decayed teeth
infected adenoids and tonsils riehted
Parents who are interested liz such
camp for their children for the summe
may get more information by calling a

Editorial Comment
THE WET REPUBLICAN AND Mr.. HOOVER
lQuluth Heraldl

The Herald has said that DR.. Butler, who repudated
Mr.. Hoover's views prohibition. but only as Re-
publican and not as a bolter to Al Smith, is merely
type. That means that there more like him; and
there are.
For just there are dry Democrats who having
difficulty with their candidates wet views, there are
wet Republicans who may be strongly tempted by
Governor Smiths wetness.
But in the end most of these wet Republicans will
solve their doubt in favor of Mr. Hoover just many
dry Democrats may resolve their doubt in favor Of Gov
Smith, Important though it may be, the liquor
question is byno the most important issue in the
world unless the privilege Of getting drink legally is
more vital than peace and prosperity and good
ment and sound economics.
The Republican tempted by the opposing candidates
wetness in the fullness of time and thought will
member his conviction that the Republican party is bet
ter fitted to govern the country than the Democratic
party and will find it impossible to escape from his con-
vction that giving Governor Smith all due credit for
his many good points, Mr. Hoover is rarely qualified by
experience knowledge personal character and habit Of
thought to lead the Republican party in the business Of
governing the United States.
The wet Republican long before November sixth
will find that his Of proportions and relative
values has made clear that his duty to his
try and his party is to support and for the Repub
lican candidate for president.

AS the time draws for another national encamp-
ment Of the Grand Army Of the Republic, attention is
directed again to the 'ast encampment" which Is in
evitable as death itself.
The last encampment is just around the There
is pathos in those words. The end draws near. The
ranks have thnned and the few remaining veterans in
blue march slowly if they march at all. The annual
gathering Of the Union soldiers becomes increasingly

Bravely the old go each year to meet their
rades in convention, not counting that the effort
hasens the final roll CALL Each year the national
campment roll call grows shorter and the number of
posts fewer. The last chapter in a great episode in
American history is being written. It should have
glorious climax.

and the gray may join hands to celebrate the clos
ing Of the breach, and then adjournment sine die.

hearts beat in loyalty to their country's

contractors, and skilled laborers are

unskilied labor here looking for gov
eminent building jobs.
Many college students come in the
summer to dig in somewhere so that
they may be in position to work
their way through the various insti-

The easy government hours appeal
to them. Often, however, they find
themselves out Of luck and in direct
competition with thousands Of grad
yates from Washington's high
schools and business colleges.
A considerable number of tourists
apparently are so fascinated with
Washington that they pull up stakes
and come here to live, without sui
ficient thought of how they're going
to do it.
The fact is that summer is an ex-
tremely dull time in Washington
and that this season has been espe-
cially dull and will be until after

here are about the same as New
