WINNING THE WAR AGAINST RUST
lMinneann Tribune \

report from the Rust Prevention association in
dicates that stem rust losses in Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and 10 other north central states will be almost
unbeievably light this year. Where such losses in this
territory have averaged around 100000 bushels Of
grain annually for the past 13 years. it is estimated that
only 900 bushels of the 1928 crop will be sacrificed
to rust For every dollar toll which the farmer has
customarly paid to rust he should this year pay 10
cents pocketng the 30 cents which represents his prof

From Pugwash, some years ago, young man named

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

good for one?"
Answer: Headaches at the top of
the head frequently come from
cystitis or some form Of bladder
irritation. do not consider mod
crate amount of tea drinking bad for
the nerves. but find that nervous
people seem to like to drink hot
drinks, as they feel more Quoted

Spices
Answer: The main fault l have
to find with spices is that they tend
to over-increase the appetite which
encourages one to eat more than he
would otherwise. There is no doubt
but what all condiments have some
irritating effect upon the mucous

Question: O. H. writes: "Would
like to ask your advice on a par
alyzed colon. Is there any cure for
it? Is there any way of getting it
back to normal and thus dispense
with the daily enema"
Answer: You probably do net
have paralysis Of the colon. as such
trouble is quite rare. If your Colon
were paralyzed, your entire body
below the waist would be paralyzed
also. There is no better treatment
for sluggish colon than few
weeks course of treatment with the
enema twice daily. If you will use
the right food after stopping the
enema. your bowels should move
naturally two or three times daily.
If they do not, it is probably because
Of kind OF paralysis of your intes-
tines. This condition could be de-
termined by an x-ray examination
and can be corrected by deep mas
sage manipulations and electrical
treatments.

span of the new bridge will be 253
feet above the water-only twenty
feet lower than the tops of the
Brooklyn Bridge towers.
The Hudson River bridge will be
the coStlieSt as well as the largest
in the world. When completed, it
will represent an expenditure of
approximately $75,000,O00 - double
the cost of the Philadelphia Camden
span. About $6OOOO,0OO of this total
will be spent before the bridge is
opened.
Tolls will be charged to cover
interest and amortization of the
necessary bond issues, and revenues
are expected to exceed 100000 in
the frs year. Bonds to the amount
of $20,000,000 have already been
issued and an additional $10,00O,0O0
has been advanced by the two State
governments.
The estimated volume Of traffic
across the new bridge in the open
ing year--1932-is as follows: 8,148,-
600 vehicles carrying 100000
passengers; 100000 BUSES; 100000
pedestrians. When opened, the
bridge will have one roadway forty
feet in width, to which will later
be added two twenty-four-foot road
ways.
AS traffic increases, a second and
lower deck will also be added to
carry two to six lines of rapid tran
sit tracks or vehicular roadways, or
a combination Of these.

SCIENTISTS TO
/ WAR ON RATS
Meet in Paris to Plan Ways
to Exterminate Pest.

By United Press
PARIS, May 11.-Scientists of a
score of countries are to meet here
this month to devise means to ex-
terminate the rat.
This international conference is
designed to take the place of the
one which was to have met in
Copenhagen in August, 1914, but
which the war prevented.
Professor Calmette, whose laborS
have won him the highest honors
the French government and scien-
tific institutes can bestow, estimates
that the ravages caused by rats in
the great ports, cities and agricul-
tural districts of France amount to
$200,000,0O0 a year while the cost of
a seriously conducted campaign to
put an end to the pests would be
comparatively small.
Rats are travelling statesmen for
microbes" said Professor Calmette.
DR.. Roux, the eminent scientist of
the PaSteur Institute, declared that
lit would be impossible to spend, for
the determination of rats, a sum
equivalent to the damage they
cause"

BIGGEST BRIDGE
IN WORLD Will
CROSS HUDSON
Structure Costing rs Mil
lions to Be Opened for
Use in 1882.

NEW YORK, May 11.-When the
new Hudson River bridge, connect
ing Fl. Washington in New York
and Fl. Lee in New Jersey, is
opened to traffic in 1882, it will be
by far the largest bridge in exist
ence.
This distinction is now held by
the Quebec cantilever bridge, with
a main span of 1900 feet. The
largest existing suspension bridge is
that between Philadelphia and
Camden, over the Delaware river,
which has a main span of 1,750
feet.
The new bridge, also of suspen-
sion type, practically doubles these
figures with a span of $500 feet be-
tween its two towers. It will have
a total length of 1890 feet.
Each of the towers will be $50
feet in height-nearly as high as
high as the Woolworth Building
resting on solid dock beneath the
water. They will contain 10000
pounds of structural steel, encased
in reinforced concrete masonry, and
will measure 40 by 16O feet at their
tops-large enough to completely
surround the Washington Monu-
ment.
The four main cables of this
super bridge, on which will rest a
load of 168,O0O,OOO pounds, will con-
tain 100000 miles of steel wire,
weighing 28,5OO tons. There will be
26,474 individual wires of 3-16 inch
diameter in each cable.
These mile-long cables are being
produced and will be erected at a
cost of $12,339,997 by the John
A. Roebling's Sons Company of
Trenton, N. j., which firm designed
and built the historic Brooklyn
Bridge nearly a half-century ago.

where part of them eventually
reach you.
You're happy because you are
comfortable. That piano, the dress
your wife bought last week, the
dinner that's waiting for you this
evening were all paid for out of
money others here in your home
town paid you. They might have
paid it to someone a hundred or
a thousand miles away, and you
might have lacked work and the
comforts and necessities Of life.
But they elected to spend it with
you because they knew they were
keeping the money at home. Are
you spending and saving it here :?
Are you giving them a chance to
get some of it back, too? You
should for your own sake.
For nowhere else can you get
better value, whether it's radio,

You can't really be happy unless

OUR OUTLOOK

HITIzENS of Kennewick have no
- reason to feel pessimistic about
the future. Our town and our COM
munity are destined to grow, to
expand in industrial and agricul-
tural wealth. The year 1928 will
see the opening of new era of
prosperity, the like of which this
valley has never known, a pros
perity which is certain to last
forever.
Kennewick enjoys so many adj
vantages over the ordinary small
inland towns, and these advantage
es are So apparent, that it seems
useless to enumerate them. Our
shipping facilities are equal to
those of any town in the North
west. Three railroads and two au-
to stage lines ply thru Kenne-
wick; we are situated on a paved
highway that leads across the
state, and on another which leads
south; we are on the banks of the
Columbia river, which, for our con-
venience, is spanned by mann
moth bridge; near by is an air
port where each day transcon-
tinental air mail arrives and de-
parts. We are located in the heart
of the earliest, the most produc-
tive, and the most healthful agri-
cultural district in the world. Soon
the U. S. reclamation service will
add thousands of acres of rich
farm land to the community of
which Kennewick is the center
This project alone-the Highline
Canal-assures us that soon Ken
neWick will be a town of 10000
With this increase in population
will come similar increase in
industries, factories, and enter
prises of all sorts.
Kennewick people, facing the
new year, need have no qualms
Have faith in your town and you
will inspire confidence in others

THAT AMUSING LETTER
r ESLIE j. SMITHS episple

ESLIE j. SMITHS episple
- which we printed last week
was widely read and aroused much
comment. The letter, as you know,
was a clever bit of work with
humor, sarcasm, and distorted
facts freely intermingled. Not
many persons, apparently, were
the the least bit inclined to
take Mr.. Smith seriously, for
to date only one has taken
the trouble to repudiate it, altho
one fellow did call at our office to
say he would send Mr.. Smith down
"a ton or two Of spuds to boil along
with the rabbits if he wanted 'em.
He said he thought straight
meat diet might get a little mo-
notonous at times, but that course
he didn't know much about rab-
bits as breakfast food.
Leslie Smith, we understand,
lives on a ranch somewhere down
in the Finley neighborhood, but it
is our firm belief that if such is
the case he is sadly overlooking
his talents. Mr.. Smith ought to
get a job with circus or the
Ziegfeld Follies, or somewhere
where wise-cracks are in demand
and appreciated. 1t looks quite
likely that an embroyo Will Ro-
gers is being sadly neglected.
We were glad of the opportun-
ity to print Mr.. Smiths letter last
week 1--WE plagarized it from the
Tekoa Blade), and we would like
wise appreciate letters from other
persons living, or interested in,
this community. Accordingly, if
you have something on your chest,
desire to commend some under
taking, or person, or have a pet
grievance, an idea, or something
you would like to discuss that will
be of public interest, write in out
and mail to us. The only restric-
ton we make is that your letter
be signed; we will not print an
anonymous letter, but will with
hold your name if so your request.
We are really much disappointed
this week in not having to devote
a whole page to replies, or maybe
combinations, to Mr.. Smiths let
ter, altho we did receive one that
is pretty good. We are inclined
to wonder if the people living a.
round here have become utterly
Indifferent, or have lost their en-
thusiasm and loyalty.
