Straight Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Many women will adhere 10 treat
ment or diet until they are temporarily
free Of pain. They then revert 70 their
old habits. This merely aggravates a
complaint, and IL one Is not TO adhere
70 treatment or diet, why waste time
and money consulting physicians?
Only healthy woman can earn her
livelihood with any degree Of success,
and only a healthy wife can attend
TO the duties and obligations OF her
household. No reasonable price is too
high 10 pay for health, and III the price
seems unreasonable health is desirable
enough to make us willing enough To

NEVER CRAWL UNDER

Crawling under railroad cars is
known in railroad circles as suicidal.
Certainly it is taking very great
chances with life and is usually done
by those who do not realize the dan
ger that turks in such acts. All chill
dren should be instructed never to
do it.
Editor C. w. Colby of Sandstone,
tells of a recent occurrence of that
nature in Sandstone in his last weeks
issue as follows:
Vince Parish, a former resident
and well known by all here, had an
experience last Sunday which, he
says, fairly made his hair stand on
end. While switching cars here he,
for some reason, delayed giving the
signal for the engineer to go ahead
and it was indeed lucky that he did
as two little girls came crawling out
from under the car and would have
been ground to pieces had the train
started a second sooner Had he not
spied the girls just then it would
have been good night for them, and
no damages could be collected from
the railway company as the yards are
private property and signs are placed
there to keep off trespassers."

This is just what happened in Mime
apolis when it was reported that 992
cases occurred; 1876 were innocent
children.
Smallpox is a preventable disease,
you cannot feel secure without being
vaccinated against it. 1t is controlled
by vaccination alone, it has been con-
troll it. AS a matter of fact, small
pox attacks the clean as we'll as the
most dirty and unkept. No one state
of life, race, or age is exempt. 1t
spreads in well ordered sections as
well as in unregulated sections.
Vaccination technique has been
greatly perfected, since the day of
the scalpel. The operation as done
in the U. S. Public Health Service
known as the multiple prick method
is by far the safest and best if carried
out. Perfect cleanliness must be
observed, no after-dressing is re-
quired. Vaccination of your child
rem does not injure their health but
will in most all cases protect them
from smallpox. One vaccination will
protect for seven or eight years and
some times for life, second vaccination
for life.
You can not feel justly secure from
smallpox unless you have been vac
cinated successfully against it. Not
until you interest yourselves in pre-
vention of smallpox and get your
children vaccinated if not yourselves
can you feel secure.
l further hope that this article will
be well taken by all and that it will
succeed in prompting you to think
along preventative lines as safest for
your lives and cheapest from an econ
omic standpoint as we'll.

N. D. NONPARTISANS
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
BY II. G. TEIGAN
Fermentation Press Service.

The North Dakota Nonpartisans
have for the seventh consecutive time
met in convention and endorsed a
slate of candidates to participate in
the Republican primaries in June.
As was expected Senator Lynn J.
Frazier was unanimously endorsed
for reelection. 1t was just II years
before that Mr.. Frazier was called
from the pillow to lead the Nonparti-
san League forces as candidate for
governor Since then Frazier has
served as governor of the state and
was the victim of the recall election
instigated by the enemies of the in
dustrial program of the Nonpartisan
League and was defeated by R. A..
Nestos of Minot. In 1922, however,
the good folks of North Dakota re-
pented and sent Frazier to the U. S.
Senate.
Strong Ticket Named at Bismarck.
A strong ticket was named by the
NOnpartiSans at their recent Bis
marck convention. 1t is generally
admitted that it is the best ticket
that has ever been placed in the field
ertail state. T. H. Thoreson, of Dunn
Center was endorsed for governor,
over Lieutenant Governor Walter
Maddox of Plaza. ThOreson is con-
sidered strong man. He is at
present state tax commissioner. hav-
ing been appointed to that position by
Governor A. G. SOrlie. Obviously Mr..
Thoreson has the Sorlie support, but
he is equally strong with the support
ers of Senator Frazier.
The candidates named for the Of
fees of attorney general and commits
sioner of agriculture and labor are
well known and capable men. Will
liam LANCER, former attorney general
of the state, was endorsed for that
office, and C. A. Fisher, present state
treasurer, was endorsed for commits
sioner of agriculture and labor These
men, if elected, together with the
governor, will constitute the state in
dustrial commission and will have
charge of all of the states industrial
At the present time the
industrial commission is controlled
by the anti-leaguers, generally known
as the l. V. AS, who control the at
torney general and the commissioner
of agriculture and labor, while the
leaguers have the governor. 1t is
charged by the leaguers that the COM
as now constituted does not
aim to make a success of the indus
trial enterprises and are in fact sa-
botaging them.

FEEDERS FOR CITIES

In an editorial few days ago the
Duluth Herald stated something to
the effect that they are not SO will
ling any more to shout "hurrah" and
go" for the proposed bond issue for
trunk roads over the state. 1t seems
that they are of the opinion that the
Twin Cities are faring much better
on paved roads than is Duluth and
northern Minnesota, the idea being to
have all paved roads leading into the
two big cities as feeders for more
business. There is a good example
of what all the big cities would like
to have.
This building of paved roads can
easily be overdOne. OF course, where
the traffic is so heavy as it is on
Highway No. 1 and it is more econ
omical to pave than to keep on grav-
cling, it is likely best to pave and
that has been done. We are in favor
of raising the gas tax to three cents
if the one cent can be retained for
county and township roads but the
proposal is now to raise the gas tax
to retire bonds for more paving. True,
as is argued, the additional gas tax
will not be a tax on personal or real
estate property of the state, but it is
to come largely out of the pockets
of MinneSOta'S citizens nevertheless,
pose we will have less money to spend
for other purposes. If the two cents
gas tax that is now being collected
and the regular automobile license
tax is not enough to speed up the
road program as fast as some of the
pavement boosters desire, well, then
let the program be a little slower
than they desire.
The township and county roads are
as important to the state of Minnesota
as are the paved roads, and even more
so. for without proper transportation
facilities for the farmer the cities
would soon cease to function. Sure,
we all get some benefit out of the
paved roads, and we think also that
the farmers are for them where they
are essential and necessary, but there
is no use of going paving mad.
There is much pleasure in driving a
car on a good pavement and a lot of
the driving there is only for pleasure,
but let US also strive to make it more
of pleasure for the farmer when he
hauls heavy load of potatoes to
town over the road that he must
travel. He can not take a ten mile
detour.

heard of Mr.. Webb. Then | fastened
at once to make his acquaintance and
to learn if possible what manner of
man he was. In the large office
building l found him at his office.
He was busy but would be at leisure
in very short time and would see
me- In the meantime his secretary
around through the official workshop
of this colored magnate. l accepted
the invitation and was given a gen.
eral insight into the work each en-
ployee was doing. Of course, they
were all colored, most of them young
ladies, and a bright looking lot they
were. 1t did not take very long and
upon my return to the Secretary'S
office, she announced that Mr.. Webb
would be glad to see me. Walk
right in. He arose to greet me and
did so cordially and graciously, in a
quiet unassuming manner, for Mr..
Webb is nothing if not modest. He
is a tall, well built man with a voice
as soft and gentle as a child's. His
manner impresses one as that of a
kindly gentleman. But his modesty is
so manifest that it is with difficulty
that one realizes that he is in the
presence of a great colored man, one
in whom his race has confidence, one
who is doing great uplift work for
the colored people and withal. one
who is wealthy. He has business
blocks, houses, farms, and bank in
vestments and is reputed to be very
wealthy.
Graduated at TuSkeegee.
After leaving Tuskeegee, Mr.. Webb
went into the contracting business and
got his business start that way. His
judgment was good, his ability to do
hard work was superb and so success
crowned his efforts. 1 accepted his
invitation for a short ride and when
we went down to the walk, after he
personally had shown me all through
the headquarters building, we stepped
into his Lincoln car and motored to
his home. 1t was a twO-StOry design
