 < They either have retired volun- 2 gtarily or have been defeated in
 primary elections. A number of others are candidates for re-elec-
 ton, Their fate will be decided Tn
 November.
 The family payroll racket be- came an issue in many contests af-
 ter the house voted to make pubic
 its secret payroll. This action was .taken in response to widespread 1, protests following publication by -the United Press last spring or
 numerous instances of employment aof wives. children, in-laws and
 absentees.
 x More than 100 cases were dis
 closed in which congressman had hired persons bearing their own family names. Many cases involV- ing dissimilar names and absentee Z +employes may never be discovered 7 Senator Smith W. Brookhart, re-

GOVERNOR OF PUERTO RICO
 ASKS FOR AID
Describes Plight of Island -Believes Task of Re- mobilization Too Much for Nation
By GOV JAMES R. BEVERLEY
 Governor of Puerto Rico lC lCnaauu,ilrl,A dA0D hx. lIraifxad IDnnSa \

Copyright, 1882, by United Press)
 San Juan, Puerto Rico, Sept 2S -UP)-The island of Puerto Rico has been devastated by severe hurricane estimated to have killed at least 200 persons and injured over 1000. Other thousands are homeless. All houses were demol- ished in several communities.
 Property damage at San Juan is greater than that of the disaster of 1928. It is impossible to estimate the loss of life and property dam age throughout the island with any accuracy at this time.
 The hurricane, with wind vel ocity of over 120 miles an hour, entered the island at the northeast part at about g D. m. Monday. The vortex apparently passed about five miles inland, along the entire length of the island.
 The citrus crop is entirely de- stroyed. It is feared that the coffee crop has suffered very heavily.
 Many thousands of persons are homeless. Reports received from no houses were left standing. The same is true of other small towns and the countryside.
 The insular government began work this morning before daylight trying to restore communications An emergency committee formed yesterday in anticipation of the hurricane is making every effort to feed and shelter the victims. Re- ports indicate that the task will be more than the island can handle alone.
 The situation is very grave.

Damages of $3s,050 are asked in seven civil actions filed to-day in the superior and common pleas courts. This being returnable for October many cases were expected to be filed in both courts.

The Return to Barter

In early days-we are tofd-money
was an unknown quantity. Various com
modit.ies were used as the sole medium of
exchange. and nobody went without the
things they wanted - providing they had
something to trade for them.
During the past spring and summer
the Plentywood Herald has turned back the
pages Of history several thousand years, and
ever gone a step better than that. Not only
has this paper agreed for the past several
months to accept farm produce in payment

crops were seeded, before anybody knew
there would be any crops. In other words
the paper was given on a promise to pay
later, either in cash or produce. We took a
chance on human nature, adding consider
ably over a hundred TO our list.
Our experience during the past few
weeks has proven that our faith in the far
mers of Sheridan county had not been mis-
placed. We have already received large
quantities of vegetables, chickens and other
farm produce, and will receive much more

NOTES and COMMENTS
ON OUR COUNTY FAIR
by Edgar |. Syverud)

tBy Edgar /. oyverudl
1t was a REAL fair, alright.
So many were surprised at the
large attendance. The depression
and the price tag had been dis
regarded for a spell.
The whole affair stands out as
proof of what can be accomplished,
ever in the face of hard times, in
different support, and lack Of am
pie funds: it took just that extra
push to put it over-BIG.
Most Of the old time boosters and
exhibitors were there.
One livestock mar fooled" away

in the near future. We will receive enough

The farmers of Sheridan county have
displayed their honesty. They know that
one good turn deserves another. and have
proven that they are anxious to reciprocate
in any way possible.

La Toilette Defeat

After dominating Wisconsin politics
for many years. the La Toilette faction suf-
fered a crushing defeat in the recent prim-
airy. Governor Philip F. La Toilette was
beaten by about l00,0 900 votes in his race
for the Republican denomination by form
er Governor Walter ]. Kohle.
Senator John !. Blaine, also classed
as a progressive, was defeated by John
B.. Chapple a young editor who has vigor-
ously fought what he calls "LaFo gillette So
cialism." Cbapple's majority was about
10000.
These defeats following that of Senat-
or Brookhart in Iowa seem to indicate that
the voters are getting fed up On so-called
progressive policies. which are really So
~cialistic in their tendencies.
The most active group of this class in
the United States Senate are the Progress
i've" Republicans, headed by Norris Of Ne
braska, and including young Bob La Fol
lette. Blaine. Brookhart and several others
who, while maintaining their Republican
status sufficiently to hold their committee
assignment, oppose their party leaders
more often than they support them in mat
tiers of legislation.
This group favors government oper-
alton or heavy taxation of industries and
government p~aternalism generally. If these
Senators had had their way in the last ses-
sion of Congress the already heavy tax bur
den would have been enormously increas-
ed. Senator La Toilette, for example, advo-

TOO HIGH TEMPERATURES
HARMFUL TO CHICKS
(By J. H. BodwelD

The temperature in which baby
chicks are kept Immediately follow
ing Matching time and during early
days of brooding can have a very
marked influence upon the way they
will grow during the succeeding
weeks.
Did you ever go into a mill in a
big city where operators had to work
in a high heat for a long time? If
you have, you will have noticed how
pale and emaciated these people
look after a short time This is due
to the fact that the constant, high,
dry heat saps their vitality and they
lose the moisture of the body which
is absolutely necessary to good
health.
This same principle applies to
baby chicks that have been kept in
the incubator too long, or that are
kept in too hot Il temperature after
they have been put in the broOder
stove. Probably this one factor alone
is as great a cause of mortality in
baby chicks as all others combined.
If you buy chicks from hatchery
men Alltlt lltANC blAOhCAl lllCnC AiAAho
to dry off too long before they are
sent to you, be sure that you give
them good laxative feed at once,
which should be either in the form
of some liquid milk or Il starter that
you know contains sufficient succu-
lence or mixture that is high in
dried buttermilk and skim milk. 1t
is very essential that birds that have
been kept under the above conditions
should have a very succulent feed
at the very beginning.
One should be very careful also to
sec that no grit or scratch feed is
availablefOr birds under such cOndi-
tions. The digestive system is in
poor condition in such chicks. This
is due to the fact that when the
chicks are hatched the yOlk of the
egg is still intact inside the body.
Too much dry heat on the body also
dries up the yOlk into a hard lump
which is almost impossible to soften
in order that the chick may elimi-
nate its waste properly the first part
of it's life.
The care that should be taken of
baby chicks could be summed up as
First: Do not overhead your baby
chicks before taking them out of the (
incubator.
Second: Do not have the brooder ,
stove too hot Many of the best pOul- (
Lrymen today feel that 80 to 95 de-
grees, with proper moisture, is near |
he right temperature. For Il prac- /
teal pOultryman the best way is to !
gauge the temperature by close OBJ /
of the chicks with re-
liable thermometer
Third: Feed the right starter
without grains or grit for the first
'ew weeks and have this starter suf-
iciently supplied with milk products
o insure the proper succulence and
cleansing of the disgestive tract.
