The initiative IN con-
demning the Farm Board
for reducing the loan value
on wheat was taken by the
Dagmar local of the Farm
ers Union in a resolution
adopted unanimously by
the membership which is
printed in this issue of The
Producers News.
Last Monday government Eek
pert" addressed a meeting oil
farmers in the court house on the
seed loan and it was quite clear
to his audience after he got thru
that hardly any farmers in Sheri
dan County can qualify. Thos'
who need the seed badly canno
have it and those who can qualif!
! do not need it.
Only $4,000 for Sheridan.
Of the $35O,OOO of the $4,000,
900 seed loan allotted to MOntani
$4,000 only is appropriated t
Sheridan County.
After the meeting in the couI

Barring a political cataclysm,
Associate Justice Albert j. Galen
of the state supreme court will be
the republican nominee who will
strive to bring back a Montana
senatorial toga to the G. 0. +:
ranks for the first time in IL
years.
Justice Galen is a candidate Tor
the nomination. His announcement
followed unanimous endorsement
of his candidacy by the Republican
State Central committee assembled
in Great Falls last Saturday. For

the remainder by proxy.
In spite of his vigorous protest

republican candidate, was quietls

HOW TO KEEP WELL


fact may well mean that there is an
unusual amount of the disease among
wild rabbits in some localities of the
state this year.
The disease affects wild rabbits, not
tame. 1t is not confined exclusively
to rabbits among the wild animals
Some instances are On record where
human beings with wood ticks as in
fecting agents.
But the majority of cases where tul-
aremia has been transferred to human
beings have been traced to infected
rabbits, and hunters are consequently
warned especially to be unusually care
full this year.
Never touch wild rabbit with bare
hands" the bulletin directs. Disease
germs may cling to the bare unbroken
skin. They will infect the slightest
skin wound or scratch"
Rubber gloves are suggested ss
protection for those who are handling
carcasses or preparing rabbit for the
table. Fortunately cooking kills the
germs of the disease and looked ,b-
bit meat is safe as far as tularemia is
concerned"
The sick rabbit is weary and indif-
ferent. Hunters should beware par
ticularly of rabbits that are easy to
catch.
Headaches, chills, fever, and body
pains occurring from two to five days
after handling an infected rabbit are
the first symptoms of the disease
There is also, usually, swollen area
on the thumb or finger or point of
first contact. The fever lasts a week
or more and then becomes intermit-
tent.

Christmas Seal Campaign for Educa-
ton about Dangers of tuberculosis
Endorsed by Doctors

The prospect for ultimate control of
tuberculosis rests upon discovery of all
first infections among the children
says the weekly bulletin from the Edu
cation Committee of the Minnesota
State Medical Association.
If this work among the children Is
general enough and thorough enough,
experts believe, tuberculosis will dis
appear almost as completely as ty-
hold fever or small pox have dis
appeared as community disease.
"Once we waited for typical signs of
active disease to appear, loss of weight,
fever, coughing, before we did any
thing either to treat the patient or to
protect others with whom he had been
in contact" says the bulletin.
Nov we ask to be allowed to test
the child for possible disease and to
treat him, if we find it, long before
he shows any signs whatever of active
disease. Our treatment wherever we
see the infected children soon enough
is preventive and with it goes an in
vestigation into the source of the in
lection, generally found within the
child'S own family, to prevent further
spread of the disease.
Such measures involve testing every
child by the tuberculin skin test
whether he is known to have been in
contact with tuberculosis or not and
picking out those who react positively
for x-ray examination, treatment, if
needed, and investigation.
1T is program that requires gen.
eral knowledge of the public about the
Importance of the test and the nature
of the disease and the danger involved
in allowing small children to remain
in contact with open active cases of
tuberculosis.
such education is an important
part of the work of the Christmas
Seal organizations which open their
annual Christmas Seal sales at this
season Their work is heartily en-
dorsed by the medical profession as an
indispensable part of the general cam
paign against disease of all kinds, but
particularly against tuberculosis"

foundation of f1rst-hand practical
knowledge of the life of a woman on
the farm and in the small town that
she built her college education in do
nestle science.
Miss Maxwell is a native of Neenah,
Wis., where she still makes her home.
After she was graduated from the
Neenah high school she went to the
University of Wisconsin as a prelimi-
nary to teaching school for several
years. She followed this by taking a
course in domestic science and receiv-
ing diploma in household economics
at the Milwaukee-Downer school, dur
ing which time she was teaching
household economics in Milwaukee.
For the next two years Miss Maxwell
was engaged in domestic science ex-
tension work for the state agricultural
colleges of Iowa and Nebraska. In
that work she was called upon to give
farmers wives advice on how to plan
their household work so that they
could do it more easily and satisfac-
torily than it had been done before,
and many a farm woman in those two
states have her to thank for taking
much of the drudgery out of their
work.
Then Miss Maxwell became lee
turer and demonstration at the numer-
Gus farmers institutes which are held
in the state under the auspices of the
University of Wisconsin She has
been a frequent contributor on house
hold subjects to the publications of the
university, and with her co-worker she
prepared the Women's Bulletin for
wisconsin farm women, ten thousand
copies of which are distributed an
nually.
Such is the record of the expert who
writes 1.-THE Kitchen Cabinet" for this
newspaper. We feel sure that every
woman reader will find in it much that
will be helpful, for users OF Nellie
Maxwell recipes" find that they have
a common bond whenever women who
pride themselves on their cooking get
together and swap" ideas on what to
give the members Of their families to
eat.

OTHER STATES HAVE
HIGHER COST ROADS.

eff there are persons who think that
Minnesota is spending lot of money
for highways, they ought to see some
of the projects and get the figures in
some of the more populous states in
the East" G. M. Babcock commits
sioner of highways, said on his re-
turn from the annual convention of
the American Association of State
Highway officials at Pittsburgh.
After the convention was over, we
made an inspection trip over some of
the highways in Allegheny county, in
which Pittsburgh is located. In this
one county we saw work under way or
recently completed, costing more than
Minnesota has spent on its entire
trunk highway system in the last two
years. Just few of the more con-
SpicuouS projects are the following:
ohio river boulevard, length Az
miles, cost $5,000,000.
"McKees Rocks bridge, steel arch
structure, length 5000 feet, 40 foot
roadway, cost 100000.
Point bridge, length 2,247 feet, 38
foot roadway, cost $2,0O0000
Liberty bridge, length $500 feet, 38
foot roadway, cost $3,500000.
Liberty tunnels, twin tubes, each
with a two lane roadway, length l 1-8
mile cost 100000.
Lincoln highway, 40 foot roadway
81 mile cutoff costing 100000.
Allegheny river boulevard, Az miles
long, cost So 100000, 80 foot roadway.
"All the above projects are county
jobs except the Lincoln highway,
which is joint state and county job
just outside the city limits. We saw
a great many state, county and city
projects which are smaller but rela-
lively just as costly. Costs of course
run much higher on account of the
Typography, grade separations, and ex-
pensive right-of-way in a densely
populated community. On the Lin
coin highway, for instance, there were
cuts 1872 feet deep and $50 foot fills
and on all the projects there were in
Vulnerable bridges.
But the state, county and city are
not going into this work blindly.

EAT AND ENJOY 1T" is
MOTTO OF THIS EXPERT.

In recent years we have had per-
feet deluge of advice on our eating
habits. Sat and grow fat" warns
one school of diet experts. EAT and
grow thin," urges another. But there
is one expert who has no particular
diet fad to exploit. and if she has any
particular motto to suggest it probably
woul be, Eat and enjoy it."
She is Miss Nellie Maxwell, whose
department the Kitchen Cabinet" is
a regular feature in this newspaper.
Thousands of women newspaper read
ers throughout the United States look
to Miss Maxwell's Kitchen Cabinet"
or recipes of every variety of savory
dishes, which they know members of
their families will enjoy eating and
which are not only palatable but
nourishing and offering the proper in
gradients of well-balanced diet as
well.
One reason why her recipes and her
practical advice on household matters
are so popular with them is because
she understands SO thoroughly their
problems and their resources. That is
because she was born and reared in a
rural community, and it was upon a
