WELFARE BODY
KEPT BUSY

During the last three months,
workers Of the Montgomery
County Social Service League
have travelled 11,646 miles,
making 2,036 visits to the 8Sl
families to which they have given
service and the 1856 families
which have been receiving ma.
terial aid, the quarterly report
of Miss Willie Greene Day, execu-
tive secretary Of the league shows.
Thirty-four children were cared
for by the league each month
of the three.
Miss Day says an unusual de-
mand was made upon the league
because of unemployment and
the consequent human distess. In
stead Of reducing during the
summer, the case work has ap-
proximated that handled last
winter. at which the height of
the agency's service was reached.
This means. she says, that this
winter should be still more Of a
drain upon the league.

GOVERNMENT FEED LOAN
UNSATISFACTORY

COMPLAINTS ARE COMING IN from all over
y the county about the government feed loan
Every day farmers are coming to town with Diood
IN their eyes, They want to see somebody-want
TO see the county committeeman to see the
county agent-are ready to talk to somebody by
hand-their feed loan has been turned down IN
full or in part-somebody has done them dirty
trick and they want to find out just who did It.
Most of them blame the county agent but they
don't know. All they know Is that their apphca-
ton was turned down. Now they have the choice
of giving their cattle away or seeing them die
during the winter for want of feed.
What does the government care Cutting
down over production by letting the cattle die, de-
stroy cotton and food while people are starving
and freezing is what the government is advocat-
ing But the farmer with bunch of cattle and
nothing but few Russian thistles TO feed them
-he cares To him feed loan means life or
death, not only to his cattle but to his wife and
children as well
That the government never was interested IN
doingf much for the farmer is well known fact
but the farmer is human being too and can de-
mand that he be treated such-at election
times he has vote. When he sends in an appli-
cation to his government for feed loan he could
at least expect of that government that they
would frankly tell him just why his application
had been turned down. Farmers receiving
letters every day from headquarters in Grand
Forks stating in pust that many words that their
applications have been rejected-never giving the
reason why. In many cases it might only be a
slight error in the making out of the apphca-
ton, but there is no way the applicant cor
rect his mistake when his att htion is not called
70 it. Ordinary courtesy should at least be ex-
pected of government by It's voters, and the
farmer feels he is not even getting that.
Many spPlicatiens. have been turned down
without apparently any reason fairness at all
The county agent and county committee are get
ting the blame for this, possibly without reason,
but in booking over the rejected applicats it does
look like local politics has something to do with
It. People who have taken an active part in rad
ical farm movements have been turned down flat
which indicates local niggers in the wood pile
The office in Grand Forks would not know these
things without being informed by local parties
Stamping out radicalism by making it more mis-
cradle for people is wrong way to go at it any
way. A government has right to stay in powe
only so long it keep the majority of it
people satisfied. Whenever it fails to do that
has outlived its usefulness.
The secretary of the United Farmers Leagu
has sent letters to Senator Wheeler and other
and it is expected that INVESTIGATIONS will be mad
and the unfairness of the feed loans straigtene
out soon.

MIXED VIRUS KILLS
rs GERMAN BABIES

Lubbock, Germany, Oct. "a
Testimony continued in court to-
day in one of the most tragic cas-
es in modern medical history, in
volving the death of rs babies and
the indictment of three prominent
medical men on charges Of man.
slaughter and criminal negligence.
DR.. Ernst Altstaedt. head Of the
Lubbock board of health, who
sanctioned feeding the Calmette
preparation to Lubbock children
to immunize them against tuber-
culosis is one of those under in
dictment. Seventy-six babies died
allegedly because health authori-
ties inadvertently mixed the Cal
mete preparation with normal tu-
iberculosis cultures.
A nurse who testified denied
the Calmette cultures could be
confused with normal and highly
dangerous tuberculosis cultures
also produced IN the board o.
health laboratory.
Other witnesses testified tina
labels sometimes slipped off thu
cultures and that they might hav'
been put back on the wrong con
tainers.
Lubbock parents were thrown in
to panic and terror for month
after the first of the babies died
The death toll rose gradually unit
rs children were dead. Of the 10
!. given the culture, nobody coul
tell which would be stricken an
). which spared. 1t has not yet bee
established definitely how man
surviving children are strugglin
against the effects of the il
infection.
Several months ago the state {
Lubbock attempted to settle wit
parents of the dead children by o
fering payment of 300 marks p'
child if the parents would fores
court action. That offer heigh
ened popular anger.
