PREPAREDNESS CRY
General Says America Must
Be Ready if Hostile Ma
ton Starts War.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October ga warning
to the United States that it will be
caught unprepared in event of another
war is sounded by Gen. John j. Pershing
in an interview published in the Country
Home.
People say We should disarm," the
leader of the American armies in the
World War is quoted as saying.
America already is disarmed. Good
men and coed women tell us that We
should throw away our ornaments. We
have very little to throw away"
Declaring no one hates war more than
he docs, he says:
II pray fervently that there will be
no more war. With all my soul hate
it. 1 have seen it in all its horrors.
The Great War was called a war to end
war. Yet, in these dozen years, think
how many disastrous wars have been
fought and how many others seem 10
be in the process of making.
I'VE know that we will not provoke
war; But what is there in history which
authorizes us to conclude that some one
else will not provoke one some of these
days? 1t is not question of whether
or not We believe in war. It Is ques-
ton whether we shall defend this won
derful country of ours If some other
nation which does believe in war should
attack U.S."

CREAMERY OPERATOR MAKES
INTERESTING STATEMENT

The following article was written
for the Long Prairie Leader by a
Bertha creamery operator and gives
some interesting and not generally
known information on the manufact-
ure of oleomargarine:
"Copra, the basis of oleomargar-
inc, comes from the East India Is
lands, and when dry looks like stable
manure, or worse. When the stuff
is ready for shipment swarms of max

it into the holds of vessels with their

"Think of it; an army of naked
Malays, sweating under the tropical

be made into poor mans butter
"When copra arrives at the Ameri-
can oil mills, it is run out of the ship

EXPERIMENT STATION
MAKES HOG STUDY

The Minnesota agricultural expert
ment station, in cooperation with
experiment stations of other states,
is making an effort to establish ac-
curate standards for the guidance
in producing breeding animals which
of swine breeders of the northwest
contribute greater economy of pro-
duction.
E. F. Ferrin, swine specialist at
the Minnesota station, who has rails
ed hogs which have won grand cham
pionships at the International Live
stock show, said that for 100 years
hog production has been an industry
of prominence but that improvement
is still upon a chit and miss" basis.
"Hog producers are not aware Of
the fact that carcass values Of hogs
vary a great DEAL" he asserted in
stating the problem. 'They do not
know that sometimes when two hogs
of the same weight are sold at the
same price, there may be as much as
$1.5O difference in the value of the
carcass. We have no accurate stand
ards as the Danes have to guide us in
breeding hogs"
1t is to correct this condition that
the experiment stations of the north
west are developing what is known
as the record of performance PLAN"
Under this plan, breeders may send
representatives of special filters to
the experiment station for observa-
ton and slaughter tests in order to
determine the quality of the breed
ing animals by which they are pro-
duced,

LANESBORO BOY HAD CASE
OF ANALINE POISONING

Ronald Johnson of Lanesboro ex-
perienced a serious case of Analine
poisoning recently when he put on a
pair of dyed shoes before they were
thoroughly dried. Attending a bask-
ct ball practice at the community hall
some of his young comrades noticed
that his face was turning black and
blue and told him of it. Ronald ran
home and a doctor was called, who
advised taking him to a Rochester
hospital at once. But for the prompt
action and treatment the boy receiv-
ed, the poisoning might have proved
fatal. Shoes dyed should under no
circumstances be used before the dye
has been permitted to dry out for at
least 72 hours.

100000 GALLONS
OuAND TAR WANTED
800 Miles New BituminOus Ora
vel, 500 Miles Retreatment,
1880 Highway Schedule

Bids will be received by the Mime
sofa Highway Department February
IS on 100000 gallons of oil and tar
for use in bituminous treatment of
gravel roads in 1880, according to an
nouncement by Commissioner c. M.
Babcock. About half of this quanti-
ty will be used for new treatment
and half for retreatment of routes
previously treated.
The tentative schedule calls for
800 miles of new bituminous treat
ment this summer All of this will
be on routes which cannot be paved
in the immediate future but where
traffic is so heavy that untreated
gravel cannot be maintained in good
condition for travel. With routes
previously treated, Minnesota will
have nearly LOO miles of this type
of road before fall.
About 500 miles of the 778 miles
previously treated, will be treated in
1880. AS a general rule, bituminous
gravel roads must be treated two sue
cessive years and may then skip a
year before requiring the next treat
ment. This rotation, however, varies
somewhat with traffic and sub-soil
conditions.
The cost Of new treatments with
tar ranged from 81 400 to $4,000 per
mile in 1929, while new treatments
with oil ranged from $500 to $1,000
per mile. Retreating ranged from
$500 to $1,400 per mile. The prin-
cipal cause of variation was the
amount of gravel used, although the
amount of oil or tar used, the dis
tance to be hauled, the freight rates
also affected the cost per mile. These
figures include both materials and
application.
While bituminous materials are di-
vided into two general classes, oil
and tar, there are various grades in
each class, and success in the treat
ment depends largely upon using the
correct grade for the type of soil in
the roadbed. The Minnesota High
way department employs special
engineer to supervise oil and tar
Treatments, W uO TeSCdISH anu
laboratory work in these materials.
All materials purchased are subject
to rigid laboratory tests, both to see
that the department gets the mater
ial it has contracted for, and also to
see that the right grade is used on
each stretch of road.
Oil and tar work can be done only
in warm weather, dry weather.
Therefore the season for the work is
usually short, and contracts for fur
nishing material and spreading are
let early so that the successful bid
ders can have the material on hand
and be ready to do the work at the
right time. Unfortunately the work
must be done during the heavy traf-
fic season, but every effort is made to
interfere with traffic as little as pos
sible, and to give travellers due warn
ing so that they may either drive
slowly or avoid routes where work is
in progress.

Rich Reward
(Wells County Free Press)

(Wells County Free Press)
No other field Of activity offers so much to the sincere
and earnest laborer as that Of the mmunity builder.
Every one Of us has a duty to the town or city in which
we live. other than the payment Of taxes or the perform
ance Of our daily tasks. Each man is either q COM
tnunity builder or Is destroying his community. Just Iv-
ing self sufficient Is sure destruction for any community
should its inhabitants attempt 1t. The man who does
his part in the upbuilding Of his immunity should be
honored for such and IS entitled to great rewards. True,
the rewards may be slow In coming but they are certain.
The greatest Of all these rewards Is that Of the self
satisfaction that comes OF duty we'll and truly done: Of a
task. perhaps self Imposed, faithfully and conscientious
" performed. The good community worker has q sense
Of pride In his accomplishments worthy trait that in
spires to greater tasks their ulfillmen Another reward
Is the development Of a tolerant spirit that enables to
dermine q town like grubs q garden, without rancor or
hatred but with infinite pity for his defornity.
Then there is the honor and respect of n~eighbors; the
esteem Of fellow citizens and co-workers. This money
Is 1t gained and held.
Material prosperity may not follow the community
builder though he may be endowed with the respect and
admiration Of friends that gold cannot buy. The COM
munity as . whole Is benefited by his achievements.
which may not bring a direct financial return to him
but he is for the ultimate good Of all. Sure building
good will and making this old earth a better place to
live in.
How many of you are builders, or destroyers7 DO
you deserve the rewards that come to the man who
labors in harmony with his fellow for the ultimate good
or all? Sure you do, II you want to. It Is all with you
and no one else.

A New Snyder Gray Case

One is compelled to wonder, sometimes, just how much
Of 4 deterrent punishment for crime is. even when It is
swift and drastic.
It has been several years since Ruth Snyder and Judd
Gray, infatuated with one another. conspired to kill
Mrs. Snyder's husband and clear the path for their sordid
amours. The two were promptly arrested and convict
ed and in due time they were put to death. It should
have been a warning.
But since then we have read Of many, many repncas
OF that crime. The latest comes from Ohio. parallelng
the Long Island case almost exactly.
Strange, how perverse human nature can be! People
see the crime and initiate 1t. The swift and dreadful
penalty that is exacted seems to worry them not at I'll.

Pies and Their Crusts

Heresies in the matter Of food have been spreading
throughout the land Of recent years: but no heresy more
fundamental or sweeping has yet appeared than the
bland assertion in a recent cookbook that pies. especial
ly apple pies, should be baked without any bottom crust,
"since nobody ever eats the bottom crust anyhow"
Here is a blow square at the Jaw Of one Of Americas
greatest institutions. This nation was nouristaed through
out its youth on apple pie. In Boston, cradle Of liberty,
they eat apple pie for breakfast. and thrive on 1t. And
any genuine, dyed in-the-w pie eater would as soon
think Of leaving the bottom crust uneaten as he would
forget to honor his wifes birthday.
The man who. tackling a piece Of pie, leaves the bot
tom crust to its own devices, bare and forsaken. Is no
true pie addict. It was not by such men that our ma
ton became great. Pie was made to be eaten, and the
under crust is its chief jewel and it's greatest glory.

wHOOPrNG COUGH

Whooping cough, n Of the most
serious diseases Of childhood, is gen
orally conveyed by direct contact from
one child to another, usually In the
form Of epidemics, although there are
sometimes isolated cases. Infants and
children up to the age Of 10 years are
most frequently attacked, but this
disease may occur in adults, even In
the very aged. In the latter case the
disease Is quite serious.
Any persistent cough, even without
the characteristic whoop, should
arouse suspicion, and the child should
be kept apart from others because
this disease has . very high percent
age Of fatalities.
The whooping cough does not seem
to be infectious after about two
weeks from the time of the appear
ance Of the first wfoop, although the
coughing may persist for several
months in severe cases. After the
child has been exposed there is gen.
orally an incubation period Of from
four days to two weeks before the
first whoop. The average Is 10 days.
At first there Is q catarrhal stage,
with indications Of q cold, slight
fever. and persistent coughing. After
the first week the cough does not dis
appear, as with a cold, but becomes
more convulsive. The first wfloop
marks the beginning Of the convul-
sive stage and consists Of q series OF
exploratory coughs with no intake Of
air until the child may become blue
in the face. The air Is then suddenly
drawn in, producing . characteristic
whoop sound which may be heard
from some distance. These coughing
spells usually follow one another until
q quantity Of tenacious mucus is
elected, after which vomiting may
take place and there is some -elief
until the next paroxysm. The num-
Der Of these per day varies from four
to "a, and r more frequent at night.
This Is one Of the most distressing
diseases to behold, as the victim
seems in actual peril Of suffocetion
during the attack. In case that re-
suit fatally the paroxysms sometimes
occur as frequently as 100 per day,
and may be so severe as to produce
q hemorrhage or q structure Of the
throat. Some cases may turn into
tuberculosis, pneumonia, asthma, val
vular heart disease, or cause an
escape of air from the lungs into the
surrounding tissues.
When the child first begins to
sneeze and cough, the best plan is to
take away all food, with the possible
exception Of q small amount Of
orange o. grapefruit juice, or what
ever water is desired. Through the
use Of this precaution, whooping
cough rarely ever develops into . SELL
Gus disease. # these measures are
