HO, HUM!

At last the terrible spectacle which
was allowed to continue at Duluth, Is
days, or 4561a hours, has ended. 1t
was called, probably for lack of bet
ter name, a Dance Marathon"
Eight persons, red-eyed and gOofy-
looking, finally agreed to call it quits
and split the prize" money, and oh,
what an expensive prize" it was.
The big money" which was to have
gone to the winning couple, amounted
to $1,000. 1t was split eight ways,
each of the octette getting $500, or
less than SO cents an hour for the
1861 hours.
Offer any one of the eight persons
S. an hour. guaranteeing 4561a hours
work, but providing that they work
steadily, with no time off and no more
rest than they got during the dance
marathon, to do a constructive piece
of work, and what would be the re-
suit? They'd tell you to jump in
Lake Superior.
Assuredly it is sorry state of af-
fairs, when young persons will de-
base themselves to such an extent
as to participate in such profitless
affair. Maybe they can be excused in
the belief they didn't know any bet
ter. But not so with those-the au-
thorities-who permitted the thing,
nor with those who sponsored it.
Nothing but condemnation should be
their lot. -
And the queer part of it all is this:
For virtually every dog fight, row,
vice or whatnot, a law can be found
to cover the subject, but seemingly,
none was available that would put an
end to the dance marathon.

party Mr.. Shipstead belongs to, but it
is the man we have become interested
in and attached to. 1t is his ability,
his loyalty and his sincerely.
Likened to "BOb."
"Take for instance the late Senator
Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin,"
Mr.. Petersen went on. "Who cares
what party he belonged to? Whether
or not we could agree with all of his
principles and policies, he commanded
the respect of all thinking people.
He was tireless worker and through
out his 80 years of public life he never
became wealthy man. He fought
in the interests of the common peo-
pie and for what he thought was right
after due consideration. Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska can be mentioned as
another outstanding figure.
Senator Shipstead has much in
common with LaFollette and Norris"
In conclusion Mr.. Petersen said:
II take great pleasure at this time
in presenting to friends and neighbors
the man whom l feel confident you
will re-elect as the senior senator of
Minnesota, Mr.. Shii,stead."
Others Speak.
Other speakers at the picnic in
cluded Congressman G. G. Goodwin of
Cambridge. MINI. He touched on the
tariff and farm relief. Senator Ship
stead later complimented Mr.. Good
win on his stand on these subjects.
County Agent W. F. Hammargren and
C. Hoglund, also spoke briefly.
Other entertainment furnished
throughout the day, included music
by Jacks orchestra, songs by the
Union Glee club, recitation by Leslie
Armstrong and solo by w. ]. Nit
chell.
One of the features which evoked
much merriment, was a tug-o-war be-
tween the married and single men.
The married men, evidently knowing
more about war" won the contest.
Lunch was furnished and there was
dance in the evening.
The day was ideal for a picnic, and
the large crowd attending. proclaimed
the affair a success in every respect.
About 700 persons attended the pic
mic.
Accompanying Senator Shipstead in
his car, were Mrs. Shipstead and son,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Haugen, of Mime
apolis.

OUR MATERIAL STATE

The following editorial, which ap-
peared in the August 4th edition OF
Editor & Publisher and the Fourth
Estate, indeed is an eye-opener:
Discussing the luxurious state OF
America recently, Congressman Guy
U. Hardy, of Colorado, where at Canon
City he publishes the Daily Record
hit upon the happy expression The
United States is on an automobile
standard of living Other countries
may be rich, but nowhere else is
wealth distributed among the people
sufficiently to support ownership of a
car for every six persons.
"Mr. Hardy went on to describe
other luxuries that are so common
among us that We accept them with
out thinking that none but the rich
may have them in many foreign lands.
He spoke of 18,523,00O telephones
among 100000 American families,
compared with 12,477,0OO telephones
in use by all other nations. We oper-
ate 100000 typewriters, whereas
there are only 100000 in use in
the world. Of table luxuries he Sc
lected sugar. commodity that must
be purchased, not made in the home,
and found that the average American
consumes 10 pounds annually, where
as the average citizen in other lands
uses but 81 pounds. America has
100000 college students, compared
with 100000 in the rest of the world.
We spend more money on education
than all other nations. The Congress-
man did not mention, though he might
we'll have done so, that an average OF
nearly two daily newspapers is pro-
duced for every family of six per-
sons and that there is Sunday news
paper for every family, with more
than 100000 copies to spare"
All of which is astounding to a re-
markable degree, but whether the
expression "The United States is on
an automobile standard of living" is
a happy" expression, the American
isn't prepared to say.
A grave doubt arises just now, as to
whether the fact one in every six
persons in the United States, owns an
automobile, is any indication of the
distribution of wealth." 1t would be
enlightening. to say nothing of being
interesting in the extreme, to learn
just how many automobiles actually
are owned"
While all of the luxuries referred
to in the editorial quoted, are nice
nearly beyond description, isn't it
just possible that one of the real all
ments of this country is the "auto-
mobile standard of living?"
We sometimes wonder if we are
not just little bit automobile poor"

Health Group y
Warns Against
Common Flies

st. Paul, August 8.-"Around the
kitchen and garbage can of nearly
every home in Minnesota today there
turks menace more destructive tC
people than all of the beasts of prey
and poisonous re..iles. 1t is the
common house fly"
CharacteriZing the fly as an enemy
that causes hundreds of baby funer-
ais, the health committee of the Min
nesota State Medical Association to-
day issued an edict calling on the
destruction against the pest.
Look at your screen door tomOr-
row and see how many flies you can
KILL" continues the health bulletin
THE fly carries the germs of disease
on it's feet. A disease which it COM
monty carries is typhoid fever. This
disease is also frequently gained
from polluted water or milk and from
other substances, but the house fly
is responsible for many thousands of
cases. Typhoid is a germ disease,
Four per cent of the persons who
have had typhoid become chronic
carriers. Typhoid germs will remain
alive on various substances for many
for some months.
Spreads Disease.
"The house fly also carries the
germs and causes the spread of in
fantile diarrhea. Anti-fly work car
ried out in a district in New York by
Armstrong and in Richmond by Levy
have greatly reduced the death rate
from this disease.
Flies are greatly attracted to
tuberculous sputum and can carry and
distribute the germs of tuberculosis
for several days.
Files carry the virulent germs of
anthrax. They also carry the eggs of
parasitic worms and the germs of
other diseases. ... ... -. o..
Files will breed in almost any
fermenting organic matter. They
will breed in garbage of all kinds.
even in old cloth and paper when
damp and fermenting; in waste or in
decaying vegetables, in fact, in all
sorts of animal and vegetable refuse.
Lay 12O-15O Eggs
Each female fly may lay from 12O
to $50 eggs at a time. - She begins
laying from week to ten days after
appearing, and she may at intervals
of ten days lay three or four such
patches of eggs. The eggs are min
ute, white and elongate. In warm
weather the eggs hatch in from
eight to ten hours.
Files will begin to breed in the
spring as soon as the days begin to
be consistently and consecutively
warm. They will continue to breed
until we'll on into the autumn. The
number of generations will depend on
the length of the consistently warm
season. When cold weather comes
breeding stops, and adult flies l'ass
the winter hidden away in cracks
and crevices to emerge the following
spring to start new generation.
"The plain remedy is to get rid of
refuse by carting it away, or by
burning it, or treating it with kero-
sene or borax. 1t is impossible to
leave trash about and avoid flies.
Clean up everywhere"

.SHIPSTEAD ADVOCATES
EQUAL PROTECTION
Continued from Page ~

and railroad officials came to the
government with a plea that they
must have a tariff to protect them
selves. The tariff was granted, in
dustry was assisted, while the farm
ers and the other common people
the producers-suffered.
Rail Rates Fixed.
"Then came the Esch-Cummins law
which provided for a fixed railroad
rate, and all this time freight rates
and taxes mounting sky high. That
bill, the McCumber tariff bill, and
other like bills were signed by the
President; they were not deemed I'M
constitutional, even though taxes and
freight rates come from the same
pocket.
Has the farmer Jared as we'll?
Not that anyone is aware of.
"A law to make the tariff effective
to the farmers, was passed twice by
congress, but also was twice vetoed
by the President 1t was unconstitu-
tional, so long as it might aid the
farmers of the country"
1t is the business of government,
the Senator continued, to treat all
alike.
Either repeal those laws that have
been passed in the interests of in
dustry,' Senator Shipstead advised,
cor pass some laws that will afford
equal benefits to the agriculturalists.
Parties Called Curse.
zone of the greatest curses in
America today is the party system.
There is too great an inclination to
leave it to the Presidential candidates
the party leaders.
'Kings used to do our thinking for
us; now it is parties.
when l was elected to the United
States senate, l took an oath to sup
port the constitution of the United
States, but did not swear allegiance
to any party whatsoever. and 1 am
not smeared with oil either. United
States senators should be responsible
to the people, ONLY"
1t never was intended, Mr.. Ship
stead went on, that a man should
spend 100000, $75O.O00 or $2,OO0,OOO
to be elected to office. And when
man spends that amount, or when that
amount is spent for any man, it isn't
done for the sake of patriotism. 1t
is an out-and-out buying of govern
ment, he said.
eff we would exercise our rights at
the ballot box, there would be a diff
ferent story" Senator Shipstead con-
cluded.
Petersen Speaks.
Senator Shipstead was introduced
by Hjalmar Petersen, editor of the
Askov American, who said:
Some feared, or rather it was used
as propaganda against Senator Ship
stead, that he would not be able to do
as much, and would not be as influ-
entail and powerful in the senate if
he was not a member of one of. the
major political parties. 1t occurs to
me, that the opposite is true. AS you
know, the two major parties have
been for the past few years, very even
ly divided in the senate. Both have
been clamoring for the support and
vote of Mr.. Shipstead on bills spon-
sored by them, and as a result, he has
been one of those who have held the
balance of power. 1t is not what

title from JACK Iunney
Dempsey, Sept. %, 1926.
This perhaps is the precise reason
why the champion selected Heeney
as the challenger. No one doubts
the fact Tunney made the choice
himself; otherwise Tex Richard
would have had his way and staged
a final elimination bout between
Heeney and RiSko.
The champion prefers to box big,
slow men, for all his courage, is
made to order for Tunney. Heeney
lacks the knockout punch to make
him a real menace. Despite his
long period of ring inactivity, the
champions superb ring craft and
boxing skill should carry him safely
past the hairy-chested challenger
from Down Under"
Although he has lost three bouts,
Heeney never has been knocked out.
He is as sturdy as an oak, and has
been knocked down, but once IN
his career. Paolino dropped Heeney
in the first round of their first bout,
but Tom got up quickly and fin
ished the bout only to lose a close
decision. In a return bout with
Paolino, Heeney got draw.
B. Miller won from Heeney on a
foul in the eighth round at Cape
Town in 1924 and Phil Scott, the
British heavyweight champion, took
twenty-round decision from him
at London in 1925.

ST am glad of this opportunity to

After trying all kinds of remedies,
which failed to give me even tenn
porary relief, I feel it is my duty to
say a word for the medicine which
restored me to health.

from the condition Of my stomach.
I suffered untold agony after eat
ing my meals, as my food did not
digest and a hard rock would seem
to form in the pit of my stomach.
was forced to go on a special diet
for several months. My appetite
became very poor and at times I
would have to force myself to eat.
after doctoring for a long time
without results, I began to look
around for something else which
might give me relief. Konjola was
suggested to me by friend and I
started taking it. 1t gradually be-
gan to relieve me, altho it worked
very slowly. I realized that my
condition was of long standing and
therefore decided to give this medi-
cine a fair trial. I have now taken
several bottles and can truthfully
say that I am eating most anything
and do not suffer afterward. The
diets, which I formerly used, are
thing of the past. Gas does not
form any more and never bloat
up like I used to. The heavy feeling
has entirely disappeared, my ap-
petite is wonderfully improved and
I am no longer short of breath. 1t
has made a new man of me and I
certainly recommend it to my
friends"
