Science comes forth with another
announcement which will interest
parents greatly and that is the fact
that a new way to immunize children
from scarlet fever has been diScOv-
cred. The new treatment is supposed
to be more potent and easier to take
which means much in the treatment
of diseases in children.
Mdical science has done wonders in
the past few years toward minimizing
the death toll eXacted by dreaded
childrens diseases, not the least
among them being the once deadly
diphtheria. Early diagnosis and
treatment by a physician in this dis
ease in a majority of cases can pre-
vent what was formerly almost GER
tain death. Thousands of children
owe their lives to the progress OF
medical science and thousands of par
ents are thankful for these lives.

REMOVING NONOTONY

Music is inspiring, it tunes up
the spirit and body, adds pep, energy
and vigor. The wise leaders realize
this, which is we'll brought out in
the following few words by Arthur
Brisbane:
Russia seems to welcome new
ideas She has discovered that men
work better when they hear music.
so Russia will provide music in fac
tories. That idea is borrowed from
Kings of old. They let ditch diggers
work in silence, but sent bands of
music with the soldiers in whom they
were really interested. Intelligent
cigar manufacturers in Cuba some
times provide music to entertain cigar
makers. More often one emplOye
reads aloud while others work. And
the intelligent Cubans prefer serious
books"

many disappointing endings of other
optimistic reports in the four weeks
that the baby has been in the hands
of the kidnapers.
The best news that can come now.
as one newspaper states, is the an
nuoncement that the child is safe
back in its mothers arms and that
the kidnapers have been caught and
sent up for million years. 1t would
be a greater day than that which saw
ST. Patrick accomplish his feat of
chasing the last snake out of Ireland
to see all kidnapers corralled and
placed where they cannot pierce any
more parents hearts with agony by
their heartless deeds. But alas, we
are afraid that such legends as st.
Patrick's were meant only for the days
of yesteryears.

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION

Secretary of the Treasury Ogden b.
Mills told newspaper men Tuesday
that the reconstruction corporation
would welcome an investigation of its
S12,SOO.OOO loan to the Missouri-Pa-
citic railroad VIII CHI the interstate
commerce commission approved with
reluctance" This loan is siZeable
sum and must have reached a long
way toward draining some of the
watered stock. There also seems
something funny about the with re-
luctance" approval by the interstate
commerce commission. The time for
the Investigations should have been
before the lean was made. Neverthe-
less while the investigation is going
on it might be extended to the agri-
cultural situation. A goOdly sum of
the magnitude of the railway loan
would come in handy in watering
some stock" on the farms of the north
west rather than helping stock that
possibly has already been watered

should the farm double in value dur
ing the period of time the mortgage
is In effect, he has no right to any
part of the increase of the value of
such property.
The parties who buy the bonds of
the Federal Land Bank and the State
Rural Credit Bureau have not even
the chance to select their own Dor
rowers. They buy the bonds at
comparatively low rate of interest on
the strength of security offered by the
federal and state governments. They
have accumulated their money under
the capitalistic system and have bor-
rowed it to federal and state govern
ments under the same system and
they should be guaranteed the inter-
est. That is the agreement which we
as nation and as state had en-
tered into. and we can not repudiate
the terms of that agreement, unless
we are willing to discard the whole
economic structure based on interest
taking.
So long as this system is the basis
for our economic structure, we must
play the game according to the rules.
That millions of people are losing
their homes today, due to no fault of
their own, is to be expected. 1t is
part of the game and even in the
most prosperous times there are peo-
pie who are losing their homes, be-
cause they are compelled to play the
game, which in its very nature is
bound to destroy the majority that
the small minority may prosper.
That we should give the men at
the head of the two institutions ar
bitrary powers to handle the loans
as they see fit. without regard to the
provisions of the law is unthinkable.
Too much of that was already prac-
ticed in the state institution several
years ago. AS | see it, the only rem
edy is to call on extra session of the
legislature and let that body take
action.
That the present depression has
caused such widespread distress is
lamentable, but again | must empha-
size that the game has been played

l heartily agree with Mr.. Mosbak
that the State Rural Credit Bureau
should not require the borrowers to
mortgage a crop which is not yet
even planted, nor should they require
or ask any of the borrowers to furnish
additional security for the loans
That was not part of the contract
when the loan was made

ranch men let their cattle run on
their fields and destroyed their crops.
The farmers went to the local Off
GERS and asked to be protected, but
the cattlemen had too much money
and political power and the settlers
could get no help and many of them
left their homes but would at least
give us an opportunity to protect our
property. 1t seems our constitutional
rights have been tempered with when
we must stand helplessly by and see
our crops destroyed. our cars smashed
up and our sheep killed, our roads and

the state owned the game we could
sue it for damages but under the

WORLD KEEPS REVOLVING

Every now and then some one
prophesises that the world is coming
to an end. and even sets the date for

lieve it. though such prophecy has

to the tops of high hills, all ready

and they felt foolish when they came
down Some that now sell what they

emily. Those who think the world
is coming to an end will be sorry

NEW FORD vs. is
OFFERED TO PUBLIC

Ford dealers throughout Pine
county and the United States are
heralding a new creation of the Ford
Motor Co. in the form of a VS. motor
car. The new car gets its first an
nouncement this week
The Ford VS. engine is of the
90-degree type. developing 65 brake
introduces new mechanical features
which simplify construction and mini
mize wear.
The new engine is remarkably free
from vibration. Frequent and over
tapping impulses deliver the power
in a smooth, constant flow.
The 65-pound crankshaft is of the
90-degree type with its four throws
or cranks at right angles to each
other. The crankshaft is statically
and Dramatically balanced Throws
are counterbalanced. There are three
large main bearings.
Crankshaft. connecting rods and
pistOns are in balance and operate
with smOOthneSs at all engine speeds
PistOns are of aluminium alloy. Each
has three rings. The lower one, being
slotted, acts as an oil-control ring.
Cast i'm Single Piece.
Cylinder blocks and crankcase are
cast in one piece with the result that
cylinders and crankshaft are always
perfectly aligned.
Newtype one-piece valves which
eliminate push rods operate directly
off the camshaft. Thus instead of
doubling the number of pushrods used
in the 4-cylinder engine, they are
eliminated altogether.

ROOSEVELT AIDE IS DEAD

Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the
United States treasury under Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt and twice
governor of the state of Iowa, passed
away at his home in Washington Mon
day at the age of "a.
All his life, Shaw's attention was
centered on finance, first as an Iowa
lawyer and banker. then as a gold
standard advocate at the crest Of
the free-silver storm. 1t was after
extensive champiOning of this cause
that he was chosen governor of Iowa
in 1898. He served two terms, to 1902.
Then Roosevelt called him to Wash
ington. Returning to private life. he
suffered financial setbacks which
turned him to lecturing and writing.
Advancing age caused him to yield
the platform some years ago.
He was born in Morristown, Yer
mont, removed early to Iowa, but
made Washington his home upon
leaving public service.
His death ends a long life devoted
to public affairs.

INSPIRED LEADERSHIP

The more one studies history and the
deeds and words of the fathers of our
country the mole one marvels at their
wisdom and farsigntedness. Some OF
their works seemed to have been in
spired by an invisible spirit so true
have been their predictions and 50
straight has been the path they have
pointed. In this respect we reprint
the following utterances frCm George
Washington's farewell address for the
purpose of comparing them with our
present policies and to show where
we have Strayed:
Observe good faith and justice to-
ward all nations. Cultivate peace anu
harmony with all. Religion and
morality enjCin this conduct. And
can it be that good policy does not
equally enjoin it? 1t will be worthy
of a free. enlightened, and at no dis
tant period great nation to give to
mankind the magnanimOuS and too
novel example of people always
guided'by an exalted Justice and be-
nevolence. Who can doubt that in the
plan would richly repay any temper
airy advantages which might be lost
by steady adherence to it? Can it
be that Providence has not connected
the permanent felicity of nation
with its virtue? The experiment, at
least. is recommended by every senti-
ment which ennobles human nature.
Alas, is it rendered impossible by
vices?
In the execution of such a plan
nothing is more essential than that
permanent, .nyetera.e antipathieS
against particular nations and pas
Sionate attachments for others should
be excluded, and that in place OF
them just and amicable feelings
toward all should be cultivated. The
nation which INDUCES toward another
an habitual hatred or an habitual
fondness is in some degree a slave.
Il is slave to its luminosity or to its
affection, either of which is sufficient
10 lead it astray from its duty and
its interest Antipathy in one ma
ton against another disposes each
more readily to offer insult and in
jury, to lay hold of slight causes of
umbrage. and to be naughty and in
tractable when accidental or trifling
occasions of dispute occur
Hence frequent collisions, obsti-
nate, envenOmed, and bloody contests.
The nation prompted by ill will and
resentment sometimes impels to war
the government contrary to the best
calculations of policy. The govern
ment sometimes participates in the
national propensity and adopts
through, passion what reason would
reject. At other times it makes the
luminosity subservient to projects of
hostility, instigated by pride. ambi-
ton, and other sinister and pernicious
motives. The peace often, sometimes
the liberty, Of nations has been the
victim"

LIKES TAXPAYERS MEETING

Editor AskOv American:
Friday evening | attended a tax
payers melting at the Fernuale Nurs-
cry office in AskOv. People from five
different townships were present.
Most of the people attending took
a lively part in the discussion, which
is noteworthy and different from
meetings in general where there is
one designated to speak who has the
whole say. In my opinion similar
meetings ought to be arranged in
every community. 1t would be of bene-
fit to every taxpayer to swap ideas
with his neighbors.
As | understand it these meetings

san as there were people present Fri

Just let them come out here and try

watch them go pulling along
Behind a pair of old horses that never

And then when this pleasant tasks
finished, by all means go out to the

And walk back of the drag through a

may yield.
Then should they get tired and weary,

He has all the pure air to inhale

This sure is a chance of a lifetime
and well worth most any price.
