Argument Is Ended
By Doctors Death

An awesome debate between t%N
BaSuto witch doctors recently ended
Sensationally at Teyateyaneng, North
Basutoland. The witch doctors were
arguing about their powers before
great crowd of natives, and the elder
of the two stated with considerable
emphasis that the other was 'only a
boy" and could not possible have the
powers which he himself claimed to
have. He added that if he Cthe elder)
willed that the other should die, he
would die. The younger man took up
the challenge and the older one pointed
at him with a stick and said solemnly,
You will die" The young man then
rose to his feet, staggered and fell
against some barbed wire and i'm
mediately expired. The other witch
doctor was placed under arrest, but
was released after the post norton ex-
animation which showed death to be
due to structure.

Elephant Is ''Principal''

breakdown. Mary is an elephant, part
of circus at Bois- Colonies, and her
particular speciality was playing the

South Africa Wages (
Campaign on Dress

South Africa is conducting a public
morals campaign so far as dress is con-
cerned. At Durham the police have &C
tually been using tape measure on the
bathing costumes; at Capetown back
less bathing suits have been banned,
and in Johannesburg a magistrate senu
a man to prison because he turned up
in court in rational dreSS"-short and
an open-Lecked collar. This need sur
prise nobody because it is all in the
spirit of the founders OF the country
For instance, the sumptuary laws of the
Dutch East India Co. in 1855 stipulated
that: None but persons of highest rank
can carry umbrellas in any weather.
Ladies are forbidden to wear trains,
and bridesmaids and brides have to
dress according to their station in life.
For no one but the governor and
the Council of Polity, his advisers, may

fore the7door after death.

MAKE REPAIRS NOW

Much could be done toward making the few months left of winter profitable if those in need would have needed repairs made about their homes and other build ings now, instead of waiting until spring. The work can geerall be accomplished wee tthis season of the year as in midsummer.
 Waiting until summer to do repairs and building Is more or less of habit which has increased with the years.
 Another excellent reason this work should be done before spring is because Seward is going to be busy place next summer. Do it now!
 It is always good business to make repairs prompt ly and they may be made now, undoubtedly, at less cost than few months later This is not purely local appeal but movement which is being broadcast thru out the world And sensible one too.

Others build firm flesh. And thus constantly

THE special test offer made here is to en-
able mothers to- try this new creation from
Switzerland before purchasing regular supply.
New to America, but old to Europe, its use
has spread over 54 different nations of the
world. Over 10000 doctors are advising tt.
1t throws a new light on the problem of the
underweight or nervous child. Weight in
creases of pound week are common to it.
Nervousness is frequently cnbed tn a teV days.
What 1t Is
It is a food-drink called Ovaltine-utterly
different in formula, taste and effect from any
other known. Enticing beyond words to the
childish palate, Ovaltine is scientific food
concentrate not remotely to be confused with
powdered cocoa, chocolate, malt or sugar
mixtures offered as substitutes.
Ovaltine may make your child over-tryit.
Developed 38 years ago by famous Swiss
scientist, Ovaltine contains, in highly con-
centrated form, virtually every single vital
food element necessary to life, including, of
course, the Sunshine Vit0min D.
Due to an exclusive process. employed by no
other foOd-drink known, it supplies those
vital elements in such easily digested form
that child's system will absorb them even
when digestion is impaired.

Just As Expected

Just as expected, the State Tax Commission Gid
not come through with what the Republican county
Board OF Supervisors wanted
The supervisors wanted to create special tax
levy whereby they could raise 024A to run several
departments OF the county Until end of the fiscal year
on June 80 the budget having been either overdrawn
Or about to be 0Verdrawn, in these departments
The hearing Of the Boards application was held
at the courthouse week ago Friday On Thursday
less than week after the hearing-the Tax Commits
sion gave the Board relief to the extent of ONLY
S1447 Of this amount $1066 being for the health de-
partment and 1891 for miscellaneous expenses Au-
hority to incur Indebtedness for relief of other de-
partments was denied on the ground that no ernerg-
ency existed
The purpose Of a county budget and any other
budget for that NATTER is to make the creators of
same live within it, and il the case Of the Santa Cruz
county Board Of Supervisors had they compelled the
various departments to live within the budget there
would have been no necessity Of trying to get relief

PROFITS
BY Albert 7. Reid'

The Ford Motor Company earned
$8l,797.86l profits in 1929. That wal
the first profitable year since 1926
In 1927, when the factory was shut
down for six months while new ma+
chinery for the production of Model
A was being installed, the company
lost $42,786,727. In 1923 while thd
market for Model A was being built
zip, the company lost $72,221 ,49S.
Those are amazing figures. No less
amazing is the Ford report of cash on
aand on December 81, 1929, totalling
S346, 937,49o. Most of this is money
n deposit, subject to check. For many
years Henry Ford has carried larger
cash balance than any man in the
world ever had,
Only closed corporation like this,
in which all of the stock is owned by
one man, his wife and his son, can
do business on such a basis. In other
corporations, stockholders demand dis
4ribution of assets in dividends. Mr..
Ford once told me that the reason he
bought out his other stockholders,
Senator Couzens and the Dodge
Brothers, was because they wanted
dividends and he wanted to use the
profits to enlarge the business and re-
duce the cost of production. If he
had not had such enormous cash re-
sources he could not have weathered
the crisis which the abandonment of
the old Model T caused. AS it was,
the loss of $ll5,000,000 in two years
was mere incident.

CROSSINGS

Nearly half of the 10000 annual
deaths in automobile accidents in Am
erica occur where highways cross rail-
road tracks on the same grade. Some
states have begun work on programs
of eliminating every grade crossing,
compelling the railroads to pay most
of the COST The Federal Government
is taking an active part in this move
ment, in the case of roads which arc
built with Federal aid. Since 1917
4,676 grade crossings have been elm
mated on Federal Aid roads.
1t is not always necessary to build
a bridge over the railroad or subway
under it. Only 995 of these crossings
were eliminated in that way the others
were abolished by the simple means
of relocating the highway itself.
One of the things that is going to
come about in America is a highway
system in which this cause of accident
and death will be absent.
