Look Out For
Lockjaw Germs
Experts Warn Parents Of Tetanus
Danger In Common Accidents
of Summer

st. Paul, July 19-The barefoot
days of summer are not unmixet
blessings in the opinion of Mime
sofa doctors.
The number of broken glass an6
old nail wounds with their serious
threats of infection following al
ways jumps up when the weather
gets hot. Parents are consequently
warned in today's bulletin from the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton, to keep strict lookout for
such summer accidents.
The danger does not lie specifical-
ly in the glass or old nail, the bull
letin points out. Any injury to the
foot is particularly likely to cause
trouble because it is particularly
difficult to protect the foot from
infection. Beyond that, in any
penetrating wound in which germs
may be carried deeply under the
surface, there is the further dang
er of tetanus poisoning and the
development Of lockjaw.
mails, powder explosions of any
sort, gun discharges, large splint-
ers penetrate deeply and frequent
ly lead to tetanus," the bulletin
says. 1.-THE. tetanus germ is what
the medical books call 'anaerobic'
that is, it lives and fiourishes only
in places that the air cannot reach.
These deep wounds afford excellent
opportunities for the germ to
thrive"
To avoid all danger Of tetanus the
doctors recommend first, a light
sandal to protect the feet Of chill
dren who play where there is dang
er Of stubbing up against sharp
points.
For wounds on the feet or any
where else that cannot be reached
by ordinary first aid treatment, a
physician should be consulted i'm
mediately. He may think 1t advis-
able to administer an anti-tentanus
serum to protect against the posi-
BILE development Of lockjaw.
The universal use of this serum
among the American soldiers in
the fighting lines in France almost
completely eliminated the fearful
deaths from loclxjaw that went hand
IN hand with the other inevitable
horrors Of the wars Of the past.

Defraudingof
Farmers To
Be Checked
Wholesale Produce Dealers
and Truckers Must Be
Bonded to State
I0DAYS TOFILEC CLAIMS
Sell Only to Licensed Dealers
Agricultural Department
Recommendation

The Minnesota Legislature of
1928, 25, 81, and 81 passed an act
known as the wholesale Dealers
Act" the purpose of which is to
regulate and license the whole
sale dealers in farm produce and
live stock. The object is to protect
the farmer from crooked dealers
and wholesalers, who in the old
days, received consignments of
livestock and produce from the
farmers Of the state and then
"gyped" the producer out Of his
stock by not paying for it.
The laws of 1923-25-27-31 provides
that all wholesale dealers in these
commodities should be bonded to
the state of Minnesota in sufficient
sums to the end that the State may
reimburse the defrauded farmer
and hold the bondsmen of the
wholesaler accountable to the
state.
The defrauded farmer is expec-
ted to file his claim with the Agri-
culture and Dairy and Food De-
partment of the state within a 10
day period. This notice will be the
first intimation that the licensee is
defrauding. Formerly the farmer
was compelled to furnish a vari-
fed statement Of his claim. This
many times caused the farmer so
much trouble and expense to get in
touch with notary public that he
allowed his claims to lapse Under
a new ruling by the department
the only thing necessary is for the
farmer to file a bill with the Agri-
cultural department.
The following important notics
has been broadcasted over the
state this week to the sheriffs
newspapers, county agents and pub
lie men in attempt to stamp out 9
rapidly growing evil.
Chapter 1874, Session Laws of
1881, requires dealers in farm
produce in wholesale lots and
truckers buying and selling
produce, to be licensed and
| bonded to the State Of Mime
sofa. The bond is generally
conditioned for the faithful
performance Of the licensees
duties as a dealer at wholesale.
Produce covered by this Act
includes all natural products of
the farm except hay, grain,
straw, livestock other than veal.
Dealers at wholesale must
post their license conspicuous
ly in their principal place Of
business. Truck drivers must
have a wholesale dealers, Ii
cense plate attached to their
trucks. Agents Of dealers act
ing as soliciting buyers must
exhibit an Identification card to
be entitled to purchase farm
produce in Minnesota.
In order to be protected by
the bond Of a license, COM
plants against such license

The Bidding.

The Bidding.
 The auction bidding was South one spade, West pass, North two spades, all pass.
 At contract, South has a border- line forcing two bid, but due to the two four-card suits, the writer pre- fers one spade. West should pass. orth bids two spades, showing nor mai trump suit, which is four small Nor three headed by the ace, king or queen, ard at least one and one- half tricks. South should now jump the bid tc three no trump, showing four-card spade suit. but a pow erful hand.
 North would jump the declaration tc five spades. Now looking for the grand slam, South would show his four-card heart suit by bidding six hearts. As the heart suit was not shown on the second round, this bid definitely establishes it as four card suit headed with top honors.
 North would take the declaration to six spades, refusing to go to seven as Le knows his partner holds two four-card suits and If partners hand contains three diamonds and two clubs, 1t looks as if one dia- mond trick must be lost.
 The Play.
 Vests proper opening Is his fourth best club, the six spot, which the dummy wins with the ace, East giv- ing come-on card by playing the eight Spot. declarer the deuce. The declarer takes three rounds of | trump, picking up all of the appo- nents' trump, East following with the queen of spades and discarding the three of clubs and deuce of dia- monds.
 In order to get a reading on the hand, the declarer now plays the five of hearts to the dummy's queen, returning the four of hearts and win ming in his own hand with the king. The ace of hearts Is returned, West following with the nine, dummy tho eight and East discarding the four Of clubs. Declarer next plays the ten of spades, West discarding the five of clubs, dummy following with the seven of spades and East discarding the three of diamonds.
 | The five of clubs discard by Wes. showed the declarer an original five-card suit in the West hand. A perfect reading is now obtained on the East hand--one spade, two hearts. five diamonds and five clubs. East's signal in clubs also places the king Df clubs in his hand. | If the declarer were now to lead the queen of clubs and trump In the dummy with the nine of spades the grand slam could not be made. The correct play is to lead the six o1 hearts to the dumnly's jack. West discardlng the seven of clubs and East the ten of clubs. The nine of spades should be returned from dummy, which squeezes East. If he discards a diamond, the declarer will discard the queen of clubs and all his diamonds are good. Of course. if the king of clubs is dis carded by East. declarer will dis card diamond and make his queen | of clubs.
 The iec1arer has made a grand slam, scoring 1S0 for the tricks bid. 60 for the extra trick, 100 for hon. ors. and small slam and game bon uses.

 A ski may be called a 8 Hiding snow-shoe. The width of a snow shoe is from one to two feet, but a ski Is seldom more than five. inches wide. and usually only four inches. n
 For deep. new-fallen snow, the snowshoe is better, but for speed over fairly well-packed snow, the ski always leads.
 Norway and Sweden are famed for their skiing. Thousands of persons travel over the slopes of their snow-clad mountains by means of skis. The Swiss also follow the spot to a great extent.
