Dr.. A. A. Whittemore Points
Out That Relief Is Readily
Obtainabie

Hay fever is preventable and relief
from its symptoms is readily obtain
able, DR.. A. A. Whittemore, state
health officer, said in a weekly
health article issued Tuesday.
Perhaps no other one disease in
the whole category of medicine phys
ically incapacitates more people in
season, and is less serious from the
standpoint of life and death, than
hay fever" DR.. Whittemore said.
"The bureau of preventable disease
of the state department of health
often receives inquiries at this time
of the year, especially from nay fe-
yer sufferers, asking where they can
go or what they can do to get rid of
their ailment
1T is difficult or impossible In
many instances to give definite an
swers to such inquiries for the very
good reason that what will afford
relief for one sufferer will not relieve
another.
"T1ue, hay fever comes at about
the same time each year to the same
individual. 1t Is due to peculiar
hyper Of the mucous
membrane of the eyes, nose and
throat Of some persons to pollens of
certain grasses, weeds. plants or
trees. In many cases asthmatic
symptoms are produced which may
come from contact with certain ami
mails, absence Of which gives relief.
Actual contact with the animal may
not be necessary as it may be pro-
duced by cat or hog hair in the dust
of the house or barn. Contact with
parrots has been known to produce
similar condition.
General Belief Refuted
Contrary to general belief, roses
are not usually responsible for hay
fever because their pollen is heavy
and therefore not widely scattered.
For the same reason pollen from
corn and golden rod is probably not
responsible for many cases. Pollen
from timothy, Kentucky blue grass
and red top is said to be the chief
offender during the early summer
months. Occasional cases are caused
by that of other flowers and plants
Later in the season the pollen from
weeds, particularly the rag weed,
horse weed and Russian thistle, has
been shown to be the usual cause of
the disease in this state. In cities
and towns pollen producing plants
and weeds grow most often on va
cant lots, hence it would be well to
keep the weeds cut down on all such
lots.
"A hay fever sufferer can obtain
relief by taking trip to a locality
where the particular pollen which
affects him Is not prevalent.
1T Is now possible to determine
just what pollen is responsible for q
particular case of hay fever by a
simple skin test which any physician
can administer. Once the cause is
found an extract of the offending
pollen can be secured and treatments
given by physician to prevent hay
fever. This is brought about by the
pollen extract desensitizing the in.

MERCER COUNTY TO
CUT WHEAT ACREAGE
Lions Would Have Farmers Buy
Surplus, Reduce Next
Years Crop

Possibility that 100000 acres will
be taken out Of wheat production in
Mercer county next year Is looming,
j. B. Field, chairman Of the Beulah
Lions club wheat committee, asserted
Wednesday in q letter to the Bis
marck Tribune.
The wheat production curtailment
in Mercer county, however, Is de-
pendent upon the federal farm
boards acceptance Of the Beulah
clubs curtailment proposal. The
Beulah plan, submitted to Governor
George F. Shafer a short time ago,
is similar to the Walla Walla plan.
Under its provisions, farmers would
buy wheat from the farm board at q
price not to exceed IS cents per BUSH
el, +. o. b. terminals. The farm board
would pay storage until July l, 1882.
In return the farmers would agree
to take out Of production q stipulated
acreage. The farmers would give
their notes, due July /, 1882, In pay
ment for the grain.
The Walla Walla plan provides for
sale to farmers Of surplus wheat held
by the board, the farmers agreeing in
their turn to take out Of production
an acreage large enough to produce
as much whaet as they purchase.
This plan has received widespread
publicity and has been presented to
the farm board at Washington.
Petitions now are being circulated
among farmers in Mercer and Olive.
counties for large wheat acreage re-
duction, dependent upon the boards
acceptance Of the proposal, by the
Lions club committee.
A countrywide organization in Mer-
Ger to back the program will be COM
pleted in a short time, according to
Field, who says that President Hoov-
er is considering the Beulah proposal.

HUNT Tin MURDER
las ARREST IS MADE
Greater Capitol Heights Man
Held in Death of
Marine. ~

with one man I'm the Marlboro jail
charged with the murder OF Emmanuel
Thorne, Prince Georges County au-
thorities today began q search for two
others suspected OF being present when
the man was shot.
The prisoner is Frank Prochazka,
former garage owner o. Greater Capitol
by Deputy Sheriffs Thomas II. Garrison
and l.. Z. Dutrow.
Shot While In Garage, Onicer Says
According to Garrison, Thorne, q
Marine, was shot in ProchAEka's garage.
At least three men were present at the
time, the deputy says, and two are
being sought.
Although he obtained O murder war
rant for Prochazka from Justice OF the
Peace Thomas ID. Grifith yesterday,
Garrison declared he did not believe
the man actually committed the crime.
He believes, he said, that the garage
owner knows who actually is guilty, and
asserted he secured the murder war
rant 'for reasons of my own"
States Attorney Alan Bowie said he
had not had time, because of the pres
sure Of court business, to investigate the
case, but declared no date had been
fixed for Q hearing on the murder
warrant.
Prochazka has refused to answer
questions or discuss the case In any
way, according to Garrison.
Woman Heard Shots.
His wife, interviewed by the deputies
yesterday, Is said to have declared she
heard the shots that are believed to
have killed Thorne, but did not know
whether they were fired in the garage
or not. She expressed the belief her
husband was home in bed at the time,
Garrison said.
The deputy claims Thorne was as
ISOLATED with a gang of automobile
racketeers" and was killed in a dispute
with them. His body was found in
shallow grave near Prochazka's garage
last April
Constable Earle Blackwell, who has
been conducting an independent In
vestigation of the case, also collected
evidence indicating Thorne was shot
in the garage, he announced.

We have had difficulty in getting

less to act as District ID. w. Agent.

apparatus"
Following this, Ilmoni reports that
cut of a daily bundle of $50 only SO
copies are sold, irregular payments
for which will be checked up.
I'll send in regular reports every
week." he continues. "but for a
time at least they will be incom-
pIete, as the comrades out in the
district fail to send in reports. /
am laying plans for the establish
ment of a Red Builders Club, and
also Boosters Club. / believe the
Boosters Club, when 1t is estab-
Iished, can help financially"
From the letter we see that the
Party membership in Buffalo has
shown an irresponsible indifference to
the Daily Worker campaign and has
lot realized that Buffalo, one of the
important auto, metal and steel CEN
ters in the country, has great posi-
bilities for organizing workers with
the help of the Daily Worker by sys-
ternatic factory sales, house-to-touse
canyassing and street sales. Ilneni
himself shows comrnendable iilitia-
tive in calling a meeting Of comrades
handling the Daily, about which he
says: 'There are only four or five
comrades taking any interest in the
sales, and they are bothered to some
extent by pessinism. / believe I'll
have to go out myself and build up
routes for them"
Such detailed reports, giving con-
crete facts in the district, are very
helpful in correcting organizational
weaknesses, and all other districts are
urged to follow the example set by
Buffalo so that the maximum as
sistance and direction can be given
to weak districts from the national
