 Parties Bitter
Special to the FIerald)

Hartford, May 14-Judgc Carl Foster reserved decision today In the contested divorce suit of Mrs. Bertha Sitz Heintz against Henry Heintz, both of New Britain, So bitter was the feeling between the plaintiff and defendant towards each other that the attornesy in the case, Thomas r McDonough for Mrs. Heintz and William F. Man gan for MT. Heintz, offered lengthy arguments to Judge Foster as the hearing came 10 an end today.
 In her complaint. Mrs. Heintz charged intolerable cruelty and habitual intemperance as the grounds on which she seeks q divorce and the reasons why she should be given custody of q mino' child. All of her allegations were denied by the defendant.
 Attorney McDonough branded the defendant as typical weekend drunkard." q brute" a "periurer" and d street angel but a. house devil' in his argument to the court. He claimed that Heintz vas a liar when he said that he had no knoWl- edge of child born to his wife be- fore he married her.
 Judge Mangan termed the plain tiff's case ''flimsy' and character ized Mrs. Heintz as a woman who. even before her marriage. had knowledge Of men and continued her actions after her marriage. This caused her husband to call her 10 task, and she resented it. he sad. She left Heintz and refuses to live with him, he said.
 He pictured Mir. Heintz as an in- dustrious, hard working man whose entire being IS wrapped up in his son.
 "Joe' tho man of mystery in the case, appeared st the hearing and testified yesterday afternoon. H. gave his name as Joseph Dem hroschik and his occupation as me chanical expert of the Wagner Co. bus line in New Britain.

pected strains of C. diphtheriae. Fa- Cilltlcs for carrying out this eXanlin- dtlon were procured last summer, and one such test was made. There followed, however, a period of eight months during which time there was no call for the test, the animals had poor quarters and consequently died, and SC for these reasons it was dis continued until a time when proper quarters for the test animals were available and more need for the test apparent. The necessity of the ex
 amniation became evident shortly after you were appointed to office when, unfortunately, there develop
 cd several cases of diphtheria which
 were caused, apparently, by a strain of the organism which the patients were unable to rid themselves of by the usual measures. This caused long periods Of quarantine. and 4 Niru- lcnCe tests were carried out, through the courtesy of the state bureau of laboratories, before many of these patients could be released. There can be no question as to the neces- sity for the test in this laboratory. and in the future it will be offered.
 As 10 the laboratory control of the milk and water supply of the city, the subject has been partially covered elsewhere. Generally speak
 ing, both of these supplies have maintained a good standard of qual-
 ty, Many times, however. the efficacy of the laboratary control Of milk, in conjunction with inspection. has been apparent. Especially was this true during the winter months when 1t Was found that too many of the dealers and producers relied upon the weather as d refrigerant in the cooling of their milk. As a matter of fact, the improper cooling of milk seems to Nbe the greatest evil which dairy men supplying this city with milk commit. as far as the sanitary production of milk is concerned, and accounts by far, I believe, for the greatest percentages of the high counts obtained the last year. Else where in this report will be found the average for analyses of samples taken during the last six months. It should be borne in mind that some Of these averages are for less than six samples but, if so, a notation has been made to that effect.
 Tn order to add to the service of the laboratory, l strongly rccom- mend the resumption Of the Schick test, This latter test was carried out here at one time but was discon- tinued for some reason unknown to myself, after 1922. I believe that
 facilities for determining the sus- ccptibIlity to diphtheria should be granted those children whose par ents are unable 10 afford the serv- ices of q physician. In addition, l believe that q city. already maintain ing laboratory, should not be fore cd 10 send it's specimens for the , Nassernann reaction to. nor ln- crease the work Of, the laboratory of the state board of health, d | laboratory which is taxed to capacity with specimens from parts Of the state which do not maintain labora- tories of their own. I feel that the establishment Of both of these pro cedures would be q progressive step, 1 and I strongly urge their considera- | ton for adoption in the near future. ''

MAKING 1T HARD FOR HOOVER
(From The Great Falls LEADER

How a clever Democratic publicity director down in Washington
backed by unlimited funds for the purpose, is carrying o n a campaign
in the public press whose sole purpose is to create a feeling in the
minds of the public against President Hoover is iluminatingly told
in an article in the September Scribners headed Charley Michel
son" 1t is the design of this political agency, it is revealed, to mag
a business and industrial depdession that is worldwide and for which
neither he nor his party are in the least to blame, and generally en-
deavor to discredit him before the people.
The article is of moment not SO much because it reveals the
fact that there is such a program of propaganda being systematic
ally carried out by Nicholson because the plan has been resorted
to before. But it is the particular method of attack pointed out in
the story in Scribneris, which is by Frank R. Kent, that exctes
most interest The article is a revelation regarding schemes which
will be resorted to by cunning politicians in an endeavor to accom-
plsh an end.
Michelsons game, the writer says, is to plant" interviews, state
ments and speeches with Democratic members of the senate and
house of sufficient prominence to make what they say news. Michel
son himself writes the statements these Statesmen" are supposed
to make, then the latter gladly father them and get them into the
newspapers because they obtain valuable publicity for themselves
Kent says that Nicholson is getting paid $4,000 a year for the
job he is doing. He minimizes every Hoover asset" the article
says, "and magniies all his liabilities. He takes his little mistakes
and makes them seem big. He is out to obscure every Hoover viz
tue and achievement and turn al exaggerated light upon all his per-
sonal and political shortcomings, missteps and mishaps ***To sum
Mr.. Hoover in bad with the American people. That is what he is
hired for"
And all this Nicholson does through canned" interviews he
places IN the mouths of Democratic senators and congressman. Rather
clever trickery. Newspapers all over the country have fallen" for
1t and through press agencies also the anti-Hoover propaganda has
been broadcast widely.
The next time you read in the newspaper dispatches about what
Hoover OF his party take it with a grain of salt The chances are
that he never said anything of the kind but is simply acting as the
mouthpiece of the clever Democratic publicity director down in Wash
ington, Charley Nicholson.

NOT AS BAD AS PAINTED
Great Falls Tribune)

tJreat talS IrlDuneD
The cloud Of fear which darkened Montana skies a few weeks
ago because too many people were willing to believe we had been
ruined by drouth conditions has been dispened to a considerable e-
tent. 1t will pass from the horizon altogether IS more folks are ap.
praised Of actual conditions. Careful checkups being made by var
ious agencies continue to confirm what The Tribune has contended
all along: Montana, generally speaking, did not suffer a crop fail
ure and is comparatively better off than many Of the middle western
states Our people have no valid reason to be discouraged.
Paul Carpenter, extension economist at the State college, says
we Montanans tend to believe the worst, knowing that it isn't so"
That is to say, we sometimes get panicky, though our better judg-
ment, based on experience, tells US that an absolute crop failure
throughout Montana is an improbable occurance.
The Tribune has emphasized time and time again the fact that
Montana is a tremendous empire with varied soil and climatic con
ditions and a diversified program of agricultural production. Nothing
except a catastrope Of inconceivable proportions could hit every one
OF u many sections at the same time-and the law of averages is
dean set against such a probability.
The lesson to be learned from our recent experience is that we
inJure only ourselves when W e are too precipitate In admitting or
otherwise giving currency to bad news about our communities and our
state.
Nothing illustrates this better than the fact the false information
which went abroad about Montana gave interests outside of our
boundaries reason to believe we would have to dispose of our live
stock at what has been described IS starvation prices" In other
words, We helped to create a buyers market. We were bears o n our
own stocks.
AS a consequence, the normal demand for livestock was weakened
some lei we're forced to take losses that were not just; many others
were forced into situations of embarrassing uncertainty.
1t now develops that many counties have surplus stocks of feed
while many others have a sufficient supply to take care Of their
own needs. It is fair to assert that, Montana, taken a a whole. can
take care Of itself in adequate fashion.
We should remember that our worst fears are never realized
unless W e bring them on ourselves by continually worrying about
them. We have much more to gain-and certainly nothing to lose
by clinging to the conviction that Montana is a good state and. if
we are to make it better, we should pershtently hold to a construct
i've vision of its greater possibilities.

THE COUNTY LIBRARY

From time to time there is discussion of the need of a library
which will serve the interests of a whole county, giving the residents
access o a considerably greater number and variety of books than they
could possibly have access to in a library in any one small town.
AS a concrete example of how the County Library is working out
the neighboring county of Sheridan may be cited. Judge Gordon visited
that library a year ago and was much impressed by the valuable work
it was doing. In a radio talk he said in part:
In Sheridan county the taxation is only one half mill levy, and the
marvel is how much has been accomplished with so small a levy. The
library maintains ten branches in homes and schools. The farmers like
the branches in their homes, because people come who otherwise
wouldn't l, creates a social feeling in the community. The branches
in the schools are good because pupils take books to their homes there
by acquainting people with the library. Besides the ten branches the
Sheridan county library supplies 1873 teachers with books. Each teach
er is entitled o a certain number of books for her school, The county
has six o seven small high schools for which the county librarian fur
nishes all the reference works. Besides this she sends out 100 packag
es of books to individuals living away from the branch Libraries. In
brief the aim Of the library is to get the right book to the right person
at the right time. A county library is a public library which distributes
books to all parts of the county"
Such a library has proved of great benefit in other counties. It
would be of equal value in Roosevelt county. And it can be obtaiped
if a sufficient number of people are interested in it.
