now Is well above the ground, what
there Is Of 1t. and the outlook is not
good.
Planting still is underway here in
the Northwest and there isn't as
much OF 1t as most market observers
had anticipated. Certainly the acre
age put in will be far below the fig
ures on this subject as announced by
the government.
Most important factor in this sit
uation is sheer inability on the part
Of many farmers to seed all they had
hoped to do. Many are farming with
horses and the supply of animals Is
limited. Others, who are working
with tractors, have found their credit
inadequate to meet their requirements
for gasoline and oil. Men who obtain
ed government seed loans have found,
in many cases, that they were un-
able to plant even the 10 per cent
Of last years acreage allowed under
the federal regulations.
Most seriously affected by this sit
uation is the marginal farmer, the
man who never made much money
In good times and upon whom the sit
uation Of the last three years has
worked especial hardship. He Is least
able to put In a crop and the revival
Of prices will mean less to him than
to his more fortunate neighbor whose
resources have not been depleted to
the vanishing point.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,

No, Honey.
Please advise me it honey is fatten-
ing, also II 1t may be used by those
who have been denied sugar. Have

Answer-From one-sixth to one
fourth of the weight of honey is
water. Allowing for that, a pound Of
honey gives approximately the number
of calories, nutritive units, you get In
four-fifths Of pound Of cane sugar.
The cane sugar, dextrose and levulose
in honey is not more suitable in any
way than cane or beet sugar. There is
no ground for the notion that one who
is denied ordinary sugar can take the
sugar that comes in the form Of
honey.

Flattening Out the Skyscraper
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune)


The ease with which we abandon
what We choose to call inevitable
trends" In human life for newer
trends, no less inevitable, is nowhere
better exemplified than in our cur
rent attitude toward the skyscraper
and the super-city which it once
caused US to picture for ourselves.
In 1929 we saw men piled up in cities,
business conferred in huge corpora
tons, communications integrated, and
buildings towering higher and higher.
All this we said was inevitable and
would continue. Just then something
happened and our concept Of newt
ability has had to be considerably al
tered.
Without abandoning our talk about
the inevitable we are now told by
such men as William Orr Ludlow Of
the American Institute Of Architects
that the skyscraper era Is at an end
and that the time of smaller cities,
widespread suburban communities and
decentralized industry Is at hand.
This complete shift Mr.. Ludlow sees
as part Of the inevitable trend of
affairs" There is undoubtedly a good
deal of truth in what Mr.. Ludlow
says. Suburban and village popula-
ton increased more than in any other
decade Of American history in the
period from 1920 to 1880. Since this
period also saw the greatest amount
Of industrial indignation, it must be
assumed that the change that was
hvy %hn IOQn onac,,c ooV%No
rather swiftly.
1t is just possible, however, that
the wish is the father of the thought
in this particular discussion of social
trends. Mr.. Ludlow, President Roose-
welt, and a good many others consider
it desirable that the trend toward
concentration be reversed, and they
are getting ready to hasten the I'm
evitable." The reason for this new
emphasis In social thought is not
hard to find. The crash Of the New
Era brought establishment In its
wake and the desire for the older. and
happier times, a conscious attempt to
reproduce the peaceful situation which
characterized the Victorian age, Is
everywhere now exerting strong claims
for attention. Also there are good
many who think, and that not with
out reason, that the high-geared
metropolitan center with its tremen-
dous industrial units offers the in
dividual no stability. Hence we are
celebrating the development Of trends
that will reverse what we heretofore
considered inevitable. The present
period Of transition will undoubtedly
work many changes that will be in
that direction, but our success in
Fastening the inevitable in this in
stance will probably be no greater
than it was in 1929. At least we are
beginning to learn that "inevitable"
Is very unstable term.

A Bip.Hearted Man

II one needs proof OF the old say
ing "all that glitters is not gold" he
might read with interest a letter sent
out to all the newspapers in this
country Of the signature Of one Helm
rich Weitzel, a citizen Of Hamburg,
Germany.
The actual mailing was done by a
press syndicate in America hired for
the purpose but the cost, presumably,
was borne by Mr.. Weitzel.
The missive deals with the Jewish
situation In Germany and presents
a picture entirely different from that
which we imagine from reading ar
ticles sent out by q presumably un-
biased press.
Most Of us had been led to believe
that the Jews were in q pretty bad
way in Germany. Not so, says Welt
eel. It Is the Jews who are persecut-
ing the Germans and the Hitler re-
gime is only striking back. The Jews
were stimulating the cause Of Com
munism and leading Germany toward
Red revolution. All Of the reports
about Jewish persecution are SLAM
derous lies.
The final paragraphs Of Weitzels
letter give good idea of the entire
document:
THE malcontents, by instiga-
ton Of q world boycott Of Ger
man goods, hope to increase un-
employment in our Fatherland,
thereby fostering discomfort and
sedition in order to pave the way
for their confederates in Moscow.
This Jewish press campaign IS a
menace, which not only concerns
Germany, but In its ultimate is
sue bears upon the destinies OF
every civilized nation. Should it
succeed, Moscow may yet rule the
world.
mot, II the German Govern
ment can prevent it! Therefore
Germany considers herself justi-
fled in resorting to retaliatory
measures against certain Jews in
this country, If their anti-Ger-
man campaign and threatened
economic boycott is not stopped.
Already motor lorries and auto
buses are carrying inflammatory
posters proclaiming: 'Judea de-
clares war on Germany Can
you blame us for hitting back?"
Unless one has actually been in
Germany and seen for himself, he
must depend upon what he reads and
hears for information upon which to
base conclusion.
But one wonders, reading Weitzels
letter. what compelling interest caused
him to hire an American press agent
to tell the story of Hitlerism to the
American press. Was it his own
money or was 1t the money Of the
German government?
II 1t was his own, Weitzel certainly
should be classed as a truly patriotic
hearted German citizen.

THE HEALING OF VARICOSE
ULCER

Obliteration Of the varicose weak !
ened, enlarged, thinned, congesteO
vein underlying the ulcer is the best
way to bring about healing of chronic
leg ulcer. The injection treatment Is
advisable. Any competent physician
can give the chemical obliteration
treatment for varicose veins, in his
office, without OBTAINING the patient
from ordinary activities. warn per-
sons with varicose veins to beware of
submitting to such treatment at the
hands of any other than a reputable
responsible physician who practices, of
course, under his own name. It Is q
wise policy to keep your money clutch
ed tightly in your fist and have a
police escort II you venture into the
establishment of any doctor or spe-
cialist who calls himself a Clinic,
institute, or association. COM
pany", or corporation"
If the obliteration Of the vein is not
feasible, then it is essential that the
patient remain constantly at rest with
the leg elevated or at least not de-
pendent. If this Is out of the ques-
ton, then the healing of the ulcer is
difficult but still achievable.
Here q few simple truths are in
order:
l. No ointment, salve, lotion or
other medicament can hasten the rate
of healing in any case. Such remedies
unintelligently applied do very COM
monty retard the natural healing
process.
2. 1t Is silly to imagine that an
antiseptic remedy promotes healing In
any circumstance. Efficient antiseptics
unquestionably do delay healing in al
most any wound or sore.
3. Unless complications demand
medical attendance, plain soap and
water is preferable to all other anti
SepticS for the care of varicose ulcer.
And I DON'T mean medicated soap.
j Various means Of aiding the re-
noval Of the stagnant blood thru the
veins are available, and sitting or re-
Ginning with the affected limb elevated
is one of them.
The wearing of an elastic stocking,
Logging or bandage fitted or applied
after q days rest in bed or at least
before you get out of bed in the morn
ing, is helpful to healing.
Skilful strapping of the leg and
ulcer by the physician, is successful in
many cases.
The rubber sponge dressing is a
good one:
Cleanse ulcer and skin around 1t
with benzine. Paint ulcer with 1920
silver nitrate solution. Apply some
boric acid ointment. Cover with sew
eral layers Of gauze fluffed. Over the
gauze apply four sheets Of wadding.
Over the wadding an ordinary rubber
sponge, the firmest obtainable, the
size Of the ulcer or little larger.
Bandage all in place with inch
gauze bandage. Finally apply a 4
inch woven linen or elastic bandage
from toes to just below knee, firmly.
Renew entire dressing as often as dis
charge soils it. The more the patient
walks with this dressing on, the bet
ter its effect as 1t messages the It's
sues with each step so aids the re-
turn circulation. A new sponge should
be used when the old one loses its
springiness.
A paste dressing has promoted heal
ing in many obstinate cases. Slowly

CHAPTER THIRTY.SEVEN

Lily Louis chin quivered. She
was suddenly homesick. She wanted
to get away from this strange
room, and this strange woman, and
all the strange sights and sounds
Of the city. She wanted to bury
her head on her mothers lap, and
hide there, with her face against
her mothers voluminous skirts,
with the tangle Of honeysuckle and
passion vine shutting of the front
porch and the old rocking chair,
from the quiet street.
She didn't mind the thought of
defeat, Of coming back in disgrace,
a failure. She didn't mind any
thing, but being here all alone with
these people who had foreign ways
OF thought and speech. She wanted
to be home again, where some one
cared, and things were safe and
unchanging.
She whisked = stray tear out Of
her eyes, faced the strange, kindly
prima donna, determinedly. "You
see-I can't tell them"
Madame Mailman reached soft,
fat arms to her. "No, darling child,
you can't tell them. And what do
We care for them? Nothing! Those

is worth crying over. But you must
never trust one again. There, reach
