DOCTORS AND ROADS

Too few of us appreciate the i'm
portant part the country doctor plays
in our system of life. So much do
we take the doctors services for
granted like we do many of our
other modern conveniences, that we
often fail to appreciate the value
to its fullest extent. The fire.
Quent interruption of the doctors
slumber and the necessity for his
spending long vigils at the bedsides
of folks in extreme suffering, are
enough to tax to the utmost the vigor
of the strongest physician. And his
long drives in the extreme cold are
not the smallest, by any means, of
the arguments in favor of genuine
cooperation on the part of farm

ATTORNEY GENERAL DIES

The state of Minnesota lost a good
citizen when Col. A. F. Pratt, who
was appointed attorney general only
last Jan. list, died at his home in
Anoka early Saturday morning. The
funeral was held yesterday
Colonel Pratt was born on a farm
near Anoka in 1872 and was educated
in the Anoka high school and the Uni
versity of Minnesota. He graduated
from the college of law at the Uni
versity in 1895.
Immediately after his graduation he
went into public work, serving from
1895 to 1901 as city attorney of AnOka
and county attorney from 1901 to
1914. Then he served two terms in
house.
Col. Pratt served for about 80 years
in the Minnesota National Guard, en-
listing as a private in 1889 in Co. B
Sd Mimi. Inf, and served continuous
ly until mustered out with the rank
of colonel in 1919.
During the Spanish-American war
he was a lieutenant. later rising to
rank of major of his regiment. He
served on the Mexican border and in
the World war as lieutenant colonel.
One of his sons is in California, an
other in Schenectady, N. Y, the third
is a student at the state university.
His daughter lives at home.
Col. Pratt was appointed assistant
attorney general in September, 1919,
and served in that capacity until APP
pointed attorney general the first of
this year to succeed C. L. Hilton ele-
waited to the state supreme bench.
Mr. Pratt was at his office in the
state capitol Friday but was removed
to his home at Anoka when taken ill
with dizzy spell and passed away
next morning. He was man of sta
bility and leaves many friends out
over the state.
G. A. Youngquist, assistant attorney
general, has been appointed to the
office of attorney general.

THE WIDE SLEIGHS

Some years ago there was wide
sleigh law in Minnesota and about
the time the kicking over the new
law had died down and folks were
commencing to change from the mar
row SleighS to the wide ones a re-
cent session of the legislature chang
ed the law back to the narrow
SleighS. In the long run it would
seem that the wide sleighs using the
same tracks as the automobile or
wagon would be the most practicable
and certainly change cannot come
about but that there will be some
kicking.
On the matter of wide sleighs the
Elbow Lake Herald writes as follows:
Sentiment among the farmers of
Grant county is swinging rapidly in
favor of the wide sleigh. Would
it not be a good idea for the next
legislature to pass a law outlawing
the narrow sleigh for public highway
use after a period of years? This
would encourage the purchase of
wide sleighs and the changing of
narrow sleighs to the wide gauge.
Those who have used the wide
sleighs find them more satisfactory
than the narrow gauge. The only
thing against them is the fact that
there are so many of the narrow
sleighs in use that the occasional
owner of the wide type has to do
his own track making. Many of the
be glad to make the change to the
wider gauge if other sleigh owners
did the same. Possibly with the CO.
operation of farmers and implement
dealers the change could be made
in Grant county without the necessity
of a law

hibited little strength. Spinach, eel
cry and Western lettuce were selling
lower. Combined shipments of 21
products increased only slightly to
1880 cars compared with 14,70O a
year ago.
Potato Prices Irregular.
The very low temperatures in
many produce markets on Saturday
hindered trading. Zero weather also
was reported in some potato shipping
sections. The situation in consum-
ing centers was rather unsettled,
though an upward price tendency
was noted in Eastern cities. Declines
of sc to 1Oc per 100 pounds occurred
at Northern Maine points and many
growers were holding for higher
prices. The Western New York FOB
market strengthened a bit. Idaho
Russell Burbanks declined slightly at
carlot market, following the recent
heavy forwardings from that state.
All Western sections have been ac-
tive lately and their combined sea-
sonal total has not only caught up
with last seasons record but is now
exceeding it.
Considerable losses i'm storage are
reported in the West. Part of the
surplus of low grade potatoes is be-
ing fed to livestock. Local advices
indicate that hundreds of thousands
of sheep and many cattle are win
tering OH potatoes in the Yakima
Valley of Washington and thehigh
price of beef in encouraging feeding
in Western Oregon and Washington
Many pits of potatoes in the Yakima
district are sold for feeding purposes
at $500 per ton. Supplies of good
Eastern stock are moving rapidly to
market and total shipments from the
10 leading states are now 5000 or
5000 cars in excess of last seasons
record to February 1, taking into
account the delayed reports. Maine
with a crop 100000 bushels lighter
than that of 1926 has forwarded
practically as many cars as to this
time in 1927. Minnesota produced
only about 100000 more bushels or
one-tenth more potatoes than last
season, but shipments from that state
are so percent ahead of the record
year ago.
The excess of 1000 cars in Min
nesota's output to date would equal
4 100000 bushels. Michigan. however
is tagging far behind. Movement OF

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w, STRAUS

President American Society for Thrift
Buying home on the installment
plan, when the terms and conditions
are equable, is an excellent way Of
practising thrift.
One concrete example may be given
which is typical of thousands of ca
ses throughout the United States. A
young married man who earned his
living by keeping books for number
of individuals and small business con-
Germs, was making about $3.50 a
month. This was just enough to meet
his current expenses. He did not find
himself able to lay by anything for
an emergency and the outlook of bet
tering his conditions in life was dark.
A business man for whom he did
work persuaded him to buy home
on the installment plan. He was able
to find one for $4,000 that was suited
to the needs of his family in the city
of $4,000 where he resided. Owing to
the fact that he was a young man of
sound character and industrious
habits, he was able to secure the
necessary backing and purchase his
home on contract calling for month
ly payments of $40.
This constituted quite a burden to
him, considering his income, but in
three years he has built up a SUBJ
stantial equity in addition to which
his property has increased in value
at least $1,000. Meanwhile, his in
come has increased about $3.50
month. More and more of his month
ly payments are, of course. going into
equity so that he is now rapidly get
ting ahead, where three years ago he
was, financially speaking, in a tread
mill.
1t is perhaps not always possible
for a family without resources and
of limited income to make such an
arrangement, although one doubts if
any young man of good repute could
not find within his community those
who are willing to assist him in
such a worthy venture.
1t is unfortunate that in the devel-
opment of thrift in this country, the
process of saving money and putting
it in a savings bank has been empha-
sized to the exclusion of other worthy
methods of getting a start in the prac-
tice of thrift. More encouragement
should be given to home owning on
the installment plan.

INFANT DEATHS FEWER
"U' TEACHER DECLARES
DIR. Schultz of Minnesota Uni.
versity, Says Breast Feeding
Is Safest for Babies Under One
Year.

Minneapolis, Feb. Marked in
fants as a result of the. educational
activities of public health nurses and
of state and national health agencies
the country over has resulted in a
large decrease in infant mortality
from diseases of the stomach and in
ing to DR.. F. w. Schultz, head of the
department of pediatrics at the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
To take typical cities, he cites that
in Minneapolis in 1915 1872 per cent
of infant deaths, under one year, were
from castro intestinal diseases, while
in 1926 only Sc per cent of a smaller
total number of infant deaths could
be attributed to that cause. Nearly
as great a decrease in gastro-intestin-
al deaths occurred in Detroit, Chicago
and New York, he said.
DR.. Schultz made much of this
point in an address he recently de-
livered at Havana, Cuba, before the
Pan American Child Hygiene Confer
ence, which preceded the Pan Amer
lean conference that was attended by
President Coolidge and Secretary KEEL
logg.
Instruction in the health value of
breast-feeding has been so successful
that in Minneapolis and in st. Louis
it is now practised for 80 per cent of
the infants under three months of age,
although formerly but 40 per cent of
these extremely young children were
nurtured in this way, he pointed out.
Improvement in the education of
the medical practitioner, particularly
in pediatrics, or child care, has been
of far reaching consequences in the
reduction of infant mortality in the
United States,' DR.. Schultz said. mo
good medical school in the United
States today is without a major de-
partment of pediatries, fully equipped
with facilities for teaching the sub
ject in all of it's phases. This strikes
at the very root of one of the most
potent causes of infant mortality, both
in the summer rate and that of any
other period.
1.-The schools of public health and
hygiene now organized in some of our
leading universities afford excellent
possibilities of teaching preventive
pediatrics and of training specialists
in the field of public health work.
In his address at Havana, he also
praised the philantrophic foundations,
like the Commonwealth Fund and
Rockefeller Foundation, for the splen-
did things they have done for child
welfare and improved knowledge and
practice with regard to child and in
FAINT health. - s.. ..a-

OUTLOOK HELD GOOD
FOR HORSE BREEDING

The United States has five million
fewer horses than it had in 1920.
Furthermore, the competition of the
tractor is tending to eliminate the
poorer draft types, leaving field
and a profitable market for the draft
horse Of good quality and weight.
For the foregoing reasons, w. C.
Coffey, dean of the department of
agriculture of the University of Min
nesota, in a talk to horse breeders
of Minnesota at their annual meeting
in connection with Farmers and
Homemakers' Week at University
Farm, said that the outlook for the
horse breeding industry was good.

OPINIONS OF OTHERS
GUILTY MUST BE PUNISHED
Editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov Americana:
1t was with much interest that
read the article about Hickman in the
Askov American. However, | can
hardly agree with the author in all of
what he says.
Certainly the fault of his criminal
actions is not entirely Hickman's.
Because they have so completely let
down the bars of discipline, parents
and teachers are largely responsible
for the crime among youth today.
They have indulgently allowed their
children to satisfy their headstrOng
desires and impulses and opened the
way for more serious Offenses, done
for the sake of getting thrill. 1t is
too bad that America has come to a
day when fathers and mothers have
stepped down from the place they
were intended to have as the head of
their homes, laid aside the old family
Bible, and ceased to demand the
obedience of their children.
But he says we are not following
the teachings of Christ when we in
flict capital punishment for murder.
In Genesis 9:6 God says: Whose she'd
deth mans blood, by man shall his
blood be shed; for in the image of
God made he man. This plainly de-
clareS that any man who commits
murder shall be punished with death.
1t is in the Old Testment, l know,
but anything God has ever said con-
corning moral law He has never re-
voked For an example of the way
God Furnishes murderers, look at the
history of David and his sons. In
Ecclesiastes S:11 is found the under
lying cause of so much crime today.
Because sentence against an evil
work is not executed speedily, there
fore the heart of the sons of men is
fully set in them to do evil" God has
ordained judges and governors to car
ry out his judgments against evil
doors, and they are going against His
direct commands when they fail to
do this. When men begin to see that
certain and swift punishment will fol-
low every crime, they will stop to
think before they do such things, and
crime will quickly decrease. Perhaps
it seems bit hard to exact so severe
a punishment on one as young as
Hickman, but surely his case is bad
enough to warrant it. We should give
him our sympathy, but he must suf-
fer for the wrong he has done.
Man has brought about the present
social order and is constantly trying
to improve it, but as we have seen,
it has been a failure. The only thing
that will bring a new social condition
is to go back to the laws God has
laid down and on which principles our
country was founded. The remedy
which we need is a genuine, old-fa-
shioned revival, and there will be no
more criminal problem.
