 bind Company Meeting
Special to the Herald)

NeVington, Nov. 13-A meeting of the three companies of the fire department was held last night at the Center fire house to hear a talk given by State Fire Warden Lathrop of Lebanon. Warden Lathrop spoke on the way his forces fought brush and forest fires and told of the best pumps used for this work. He stated that the state Of Massachu- setts has % of the pumps while Con- necticut has only three. On the average this state has 600 brush and forest fires in year but on &C., count of the extremely dry spring of this year more than 1900 fires were reported. Many of these are caused, he stated, by smokers care lessly throwing lighted matches, cigars, cigarets and some few by brush burners.
 The most serious fires are caused within a 20-day period in the latter part of April and the first part of may, with the greatest loss in May to timber land. he added.
 He spoke of trying 'ynamite in extinguishing a fire in Guilford with excellent results
 Connecticut, he stated. has only nine lookout towers while Massa- chusetts has 4o. He also showed a moving picture of the way fires are started and the best type of pump CTS used in this work.

STEPS TO ERADICATE
D|PHYHERIA ALONG
With TYPHOID URGED
EpidemioIogist Allen
Says These Diseases Are
Among Preventable

Death and illness from diphtheria,
smallpox, and typhoid and paraty-
phoid fever are needless sacrifices
which can be entirely eliminated by
proper methods In combating the
diseases, according to DR.. Robert
Allen, state epidemiologist for the
North Dakota State Health depart
ment.
Scarlet fever was listed by DR.. Allen
Is q disease that "can probably be
prevented as well rs cured by proper
use Of vaccine and antitoxin."
During the past five years, there
have been 1884 cases Of diphtheria In
North Dakota, DR.. Allen said. OF
these 378 died.
"This condition" he continued,
"does not only prevail here in North
Dakota but throughout the entire
country, for during 1927 alone there
we're in round figures 1000 o cases
with about 10000 registered deaths in
the United States. This means that
378 deaths have occurred in North
Dakota during the past five years and
that 10000 occur annually as a whole
in the United States from a disease
which could be avoided.
Should Immunixe Children
I'VE want to rouse the people out
of their indifference and help stop
this needless sacrifice. I want to
shout it from the housetops that
diphtheria Is absolutely ~preventable
and can be wiped out"

ored as to exclude need for further
discussion" Dr.. Allen said.
Science has discovered the way OF
preventing diphtheria and II = nos
for parent to fulfill their duty toWurc
their children BY having them I'M
munized," DR.. Allen continued.
mot every child is susceptible to
diphtheria, and children immuniDed
at one period OF life may lose their
immunity later. We know that the
newborn children and children dur
ing the first six months Of life rarely
contract the disease. The young chill
dren have an antitoyiI In their blood
serum which is just like the antttox1n
which the horse acquires when II Is
immunized with diphtheria toxin.
This antitoxin is inherited from the
mother, who like most adults, also
possesses antitoxin in her blood.
Since the blood Of nearly AL adults
contains antitoxin it is not often that
an adult contracts diphthertA.
This immunity Of the newborn
and young infant Is gradually
lost during the first years Of life,
and if a child one year OF age is
exposed to diphtheria 1t will easily
be- the victim Of the disease. Chill
dren between the ages Of one end five
are in the greatest danger and most
urgently need the protection afforded
by immunization.
Treatment Is Simple
"Most children can be immunized
against diphtheria by receiving three
injections of toxin-antitoxin admin
istered at intervals Of one week. The
injections aus no pain, are HARM
less. The toxin-antitOxtn Is entirely
non-poisOnous and absolutely free
from danger.
There is nothing complicated about
the new method Of preventing diph-
liberia. Every physician can give tho
three simple treatments, and the chill
dren are not in any way made Gck
thereby. There is not even q sore
such as follows smallpox vaccination.
"InaSmuch as the disease is highly
fatal in children from nine months to
one year of age, the wisest plan, and
the one that should be followed by all
mothers, is to take the baby to the
doctor when it Is nine months old and
have the doctor give the toxin-anti-

and the line of customers is increas-
ing.
There are many big and small farm
operators in the Mott territory who
do not have to worry to any extent
over the slump in grain and stock
prices this year. Practically all Of
them have practiced diversification.
Mehrer Big Operator
One Of the big operators is John
Mehrer, who came with his family
from South Dakota in 1908-ahead Of
the railroad. l1ehrer has three large
barns on the place to house the full
blood Holstein and Shorthorn cattle
and Duroc swine. This farm plant Is
fully modernized, including electric
lights and water system. Mehrer Is
said to own Is quarters Of land, but
part of the land is rented to others.
One of Mehrer's sons is q student
at the state agricultural college;
another is in business at Mott, and
two others are farming in the neigh
borhood. One Of the sons, Edmund
Mehrer, has q home and equipment
modelled after the old homestead
above described. His speciality Is full
blood Duroc Jerseys, and there are
at present 81 of these valuable pork
ers on his feed lots.
An interesting personality among
the big farm operators in this Sec
ton is Mike Swindler, who owns as
quarter sections Of land, had 1000
acres in crop and used six combines
to harvest and thresh his grain this
year. Swindler believes he and his
neighborS are sitting on top Of an oil
structure, and has started drilling
for oil at his own expense. He now
Is putting down q second well five
miles northeast Of Mott, after ADAM
6oning the first hole at TOO feet. He
has secured oil leases on most Of the
rieighboring farms, and his neighhors
are hoping that he will be the first
to place North Dakota on the oil map
Of the country.
George Schwartz has been improv-
ing his Holstein herd the last IL
years, and has some very productive
cows. He has been raising Duroc
pigs. but is at present experimenting
with Hampshires. which produce less
weight but bring q better price. He
raises from 160 to 240 acres Of corn
annually and the corn ground has
proved its value In better grain pro-
duction. Schwartz has at present
10000 bushels of grain in the home
bins, after hauling out 5000 bushels
to help pay running expenses.
The s. o. Skartvedt farm close to
Mott is one Of the places that dairy
men and agricultural students love
to visit. A section Of land Is being
farmed, most Of the titled acres be-
ing planted to corn. There are two

best advantage.
For this purpose he purchased u
acres south of the Milwaukee right
of way at Mott, and started with q
small hog shed, which was outgrown
the first year. The plant now con-
sists of three big barns joined to-
gether and symmetrically construct
ed, seven separate feeding yards with
water running through the tanks and
troughs from a flowing well. There
are IS acres In Cossack alfalfa on the
72-acre plot. Wakeman buys and
feeds an average Of 5000 bushels Of
wheat, barley. rye and corn each year.
The grain is stored In the barn loft
and conveyed by gravity to the feed
mill, which Is placed above q screw
conveyor that automatically carries
the ground feed to the ~self-feeders.
Many ingenious devices for labor
saving have been provided and all
OF the work, including a great deal of
the construction, 10 handled by Wake
man and one assistant. The annual
sales Of hogs alone amount to $685.
600.
There Is q l2-room semi basement
bungalow on the Wakeman place.
Estimated on the basis of its small
acreage and large improvements, as
well as the annual cash turnover, 1t
Is probably safe to say that this is
the most valuable farm in western
North Dakota. No estimate has been
made OF its value per acre, but $500
probably would be a conservative
figure. Wakeman said: If more
farmers would diversity, they would
be better off. The farmers who nave
credit at the banks are the ones who
are milking cows and raising pigs"
Mott has other industries that
draw trade from an extensive area.
The Mott flour mill Of 800 barrels
capacity has an up.to-date plant and
Is proving q valuable asset to both
the rural and urban homes. g. H.
Helmbrecht Is the manager.
Last winter Larson & Nelson, built
the White City creamery and started
operations In the spring. The cream
cry Is privately owned. but the farm
ers have found 1t profitable to pa

butter Is from 800 to 900 pounds a
week. In June and July close to 3d.
600 pounds Of butter were made, and

A Lesson in Courtesy

President Hoover did a wise and kind thing In per-
uniting public submission to the census taker. It
emphasized the Importance Of the great stock TAX
ing" and 1t must have impressed a large number Of
Americans who have thought Of the census as some
thing TO be lodged or, at best, faced with a crouch.
Twice the president called attention 20 the conf
dence in which the returns are held. After the cards
have gone through the tabulating machines they are
locked UP for fifty or sixty years where not even q
Senator could stick his nose into them. The names
Of individuals are not published and nothing goes
ito the record that could humiliate any person.
Mr.. Hoover received the census taker on the south
steps Of the White House. Some enumerato-s found
yesterday that many householders were chary Of like
courtesy. Census takers. in some cases elderly women.
were compelled to do their work while standing out
side the door, perhaps In a dark hallway. They were
were treated with less politeness than would be ac-
corded TO a book agent or a brush peddler. That Is
q wrong attitude. The Presidents good example
should help to right it.
