just as warts upon the soles of the
feet can be. AS already mentioned,
common dressing rooms are probably
the most frequent places where the
disease is picked up. However, it can
also originate in hotels and from the
use of infected towels or soap. There
is no good proof that the water in
swimming pools is in any way respon-
Sible.
An individual affected with ring
worm should not use bath mat. 1t is
much wiser to step upon section of
newspaper and to burn that. Like
wise the affected person should be
most scrupulous about having his own
towels and soap, and his socks, slip
perS and shoes should be worn by no
one else. The use of light canvas
slippers in dressing rooms would prob
ably result in a marked decrease in
the frequency of the disease. The
floors of these dressing rooms should
be washed and frequently treated with
antiseptic solutions. A person in the
active stage of ringworm should GER
tainly sleep alone. Likewise, in the
presence of LESSONS upon the hands,
he should not dance, drive a car UNI

SAFEGUARDING AMERICAN
RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES.

No man has ever stated the funda-
mental principles of our theory of gov
eminent or the ideals of it's founders
in clearer language than President
elect Herbert Hoover. His words lift
themselves above partisan politics and
lay down fundamentals which every
American citizen should read and
study from the standpoint of their
bearing on his daily life. In his New
York speech, MIR. Hoover said in part:
The Government in commercial
business does not tolerate among its
customers the freedom of competitive
reprisals to which private business is
subject. Bureaucracy does not tolerate
the spirit of independence; it spreads
the spirit of submission into our daily
life and penetrates the temper of our
people not with the habit of power
full resistance to wrong but with the
habit of timid acceptance of irresisti-

the oil found in deposits originated
and found its way to the natural res
orvoirs, or how it may most effectively
and economically be removed. AS well,
it is not definitely known exactly what
properties constitute raw petroleum
or the finished oil products.
On such researches as these the flu
ture development of the petroleum in
dustry depends. Intensified production
with the greatest possible efficiency
and economy must come from new
knowledge. This is gradually being
found and the result is greater scien-
tif1c progress, and economic soundness.

CORN MARKET
ON D0WNTREND
Trading Affected by Liberal
Purchases-Wheat Prices
Weaken at the Last

Chicago, Jan. 2l.-pP-Liberal
purchases of corn to arrive mere
totaling 100000 in the last 40
hours carried the corn market down
ward today. The effect was to
weaken wheat at the last. Besides,
export demand today for wheat
from North America was slow.
Corn closed heavy. 1.2 to 7-8 to
/ cent net lower; wheat 1.S to go
cent off; oats unchanged to Ia
cent down and provisions unchang-
ed to a setback Of 10 to 12 cents.
In the face Of prevailing low
Temperatures over domestic winter
wheat territory and Of dearth OF
moisture in wide sections, sellers OF
wheat today displayed considerable
caution. Moreover, talk Of large
world shipments Of wheat was more
or less counterbalanced by assertions
that apparently there is no burden
some accumulation Of foreign wheat
stocks in European countries. AT
times today, buyers Of future de-
liveries here found offerings scant.
Ideal weather for the marketing
of corn accounted largely for down.
turns today in corn values. On the
other hand much notice was taken
of Washington official statements
that the usual trend Of the price Of
corn is upward from January or
February and that the probable
course Of the market during the next
few months will not be materially
different from last year.

Butter Market

Chicago, Jan. 21.-(AP)-Askine
prices for butter have been reduced
rather sharply on all markets in an
effort to find a level which would
stimulate buying interest. The
weakness evident in quotations can
be attributed in part to general lack
of confidence brought on largely by
production.
Concentrated feeds which 70 into
the dairy COW ration, however, are
from IS to IS per ton higher than
last year. This circumstance, it is
being pointed out, may cause some
dairy men to curtail feeding Of con-
ccntrates.
Liberal current supplies of fresh
butter have further curtailed the
use of storage butter. Some oper-
ators, nevertheless, are predicting
better clearance of storage butter
later in the month, when large users
switch to fresh goods entirely.

CLAIMS SHE WAS
BADLY BEATEN
AND ABANDONE

Continued from page mel
institution and until Friday re
manned in that state.
When found she refused to %,
anything - to how she was in
tured, but kept saying go away
leave me alone" and acted q
though her side was causing bel
great pain, Mrs. Holmovik said.
Police Start Investigation
Until today she steadfastly re
NAMED quiet about the mysterious
affair. Meantime police began q
investigation but today this hat
resulted in but slight information
In q statement given to q reporter
today Miss Monson told the follow.
ing story:
She had eaten ut . cafe and left
t'iere to 60 home about z p. m. She
walked to the Great Northern sub,
way and was just starting down
the hill to 60 through the subway
whe.s three men came by in q sedan
automobile.
Forced Her Into Car
They called her to STOP" but she
paid no heed and kept on walking,
The men drove to the end Of the
block, turned around and came back
and as the machine drew alongside
her, one Of the men jumped out. He
asked her to get into the car, but
she refused. Then he attempted ia
force her to enter into the machine,
Frightened, she fought him fur.
iously. and he, realizing that she
would escape him, called to the
other men. One Of the latter
jumped from the machine and the
two put her forcibly into the car.
The third man was at the wheel.
1t was then that the two men in
the back seat with her ATTEMPTED ia
attack her and insulted her, she
said.
Breaks Glass in Struggle
She fought with them continuous
~ and In the tusslc shc scratched
the face Of one Of the Fair severely,
she said. They continued to prey
upon her, however, and as she was
fighting them her foot knocked the
glass window out Of one. OF the
doors.
This apparently angered them and
one OF them hit her ON the back ot
the head with some lard instru.
ment. She lost consciousness then,
and the next thing she knew was
when Mr.. West and Mr.. and Mrs.
Holmoyik found her.
Miss Monson said she did not
know any OF the three men and had
never seen any OF them before. She
was able to give a rather clear de-
scription Of the two men who over.
powered her in the rear seat Of the
automobile, but she remembers lit
tic of how the driver OF the machine
looked. Miss Monson believes, how.
ever, that one Of the men came Ia
the hospital after she had been
taken there, and stood near her In
the hall while she was in the cont
pany OF a nurse.
Miss Monson's physician said to.
day that her injuries were not seri.
Gus, although IN ankle was injured
An X-ray was taken to determine
whether the ankle was fractured
but the results will not be known

Affirming the Ward county dis.
trict court, the supreme court today
ruled that n. A. Erickson can pro.
coed with the construction Of an
electric light and power plant at
Kenmsre.
Oscar Olson Of Kenmare, and the
state railroad commission, acting -
friends Of the court, claimed that
Erickson should Be enjoined from
constructing the plant since he had
not obtained Z certificate Of eonven.
fence and necessity - required BY
the 1927 law, which went into effect
July |.
Erickson claimed that since he Oh.
tanned . franchise from the city Of
Kenmare June 6 and the law did not
60 into effect until July !, It did not
apply to his case. he claimed the
law was intended to apply where .
concern had . franchise granted on
or after July ! or where It had
obtained franchise Previously and
had failed within . year to exer.
else its rights. The court upheld
his claim.
The court ruled that the appel.
lant's claim that section Of the
1927 law applied to Erickson's case
was unfounded, and declared that
IN act Of the legislature must be
interpreted In the light Of It's title
and, where the law 10 subject to
interpretations, . course must be
adopted in harmony with the title,
which has no interpretations uphold
Ing the claim Of the appellants.
Judge Barr Writes Decision
Appeal had been taken from the
Ward county district court, where
decision was made by Judge John
G. Lowe. The opinion was written
by Judge A. G. Burr.
The case came to the district court
after the state railroad board had
ruled that Erickson had no right to
proceed with the construction Of the
property without q certificate Of
convenience and necessity issued by
the board.
Questions regarding the constitu.
tionality Of the law were not decided
in the opinion. It had been con-
tended by attorneys for Erickson
that the statute placing the control
Of public utilities in the hands Of the
railroad board by requiring q Ger.
tificate Of convenience and necessity
violated the rights and privileges
conferred by the constitution on
cities and municipalities.
