BATTLE
 SAVE LIFE OF MOTHER
 FORGOT HOW BREATHE

CHICAGO, April 11,-Physlcians at Frances Willard Hospital here were battling for the 10th suc- cessive day to save the life of Mrs. Caroline LaPlante, 37-year-old mother of two children, who has literally orgotten how to breathe.
 Revived once already from an apparent death coma, Mrs. La Plante has presented doctors with one of the most baffling cases ever recorded in medical history. Her illness is diagnosed as polio encep- halitis, or paralysis of the respira- tory muscles, which is complicated by inflammation of the brain.
 It is this inflamed condition of the brain, the physicians declare, which has caused her to cease to breathe automatically, as does every other human being, and as result she has to be command ed" to inhale oxygen.
 Mrs. LaPlante lies stricken in an iron lung", or drinker reSpira- tor, and her doctors state that if she ever leaves the apparatus alive she must be taught to breathe all over again.

JEWISH RELIGION Is BEING WIPED OUT IN
 GERMANY BY HITLER

BERLIN, April 10.-Chancellor Adolph Hitler has placed the price of Germanys rebirth at 330 persons slain, 30,000 persons wounded and 100000 driven from commercial life. He declared outright to an audience of cabinet members, dl- plomats and newspapermen that these were the figures on the long incipient revolution which led to his rise in power.
 ''The German press hitherto marched behind, but today 1t marches abreast of the times. No government can destroy press which prints the truth" he said.
 A virtual NaZi dictatorship will be established in the federation ot Germany's industries. with election of Nazi-controlled executive board. Nazis have, in the meantime, act ed to wipe out all traces of Jewish religion in Christian teachings and a government of "culture tab was seen as a luther move toward Nationalisation of the Protestant church.

My Mothers
Wedding Shawl
BY ANNE CAMPBELL

MY MOTHERS wedding shawl
ANA was fine
White cashmere, frlnged and gay
With Paisley border, a design
Much liked in mothers day.
In fancy can see her stand,
A bride In the old hall
Arranging with practiced hand
Her pretty wedding shawl
She wore 1t over hoops tha, hid
Beneath her white silk dress,
Below her chin. as she was bid.
With careless happiness
She tied her flower trimmed bon
net strings.
And smiled TO think her tall,
Straight lover would, with whisper
ings,
Admire her wedding shawl.
For thirty years she has been gone
But | remember well
rhe day | begged her try 1t on:
The tale she had 10 tell
OF .ualnt, old-fashioned years gone
by,
And all that could befall
A little maid like me, ere
Might wear wedding shawl.
II is a shawl of memory
That brings her to my side.
She often put ii on for me,
And posed with loving pride.
II is a symbol Of rich years
We treasure most OF all
The wives OF sturdy pioneers
Each wore a wedding shawl
l think OF those young shoulders
graced
With that light weight Of wool.
And all the hardships that she faced
With faith so beautiful.
The fragrance of old gardens, skies
And days beyond recall,
And mothers dream of Paradise
Live In her wedding shawl.

Don't Feed Whole Sovs

The problem of soft pork has been
serious one for certain hog pro-
ducing sections for many years,
notes the Prairie Farmer. Some
markets get a large proportion of
these hogs and necessarily buy on
a lower price range than the mar
kets of the corn belt. In recent
years soybeans have been intro
duced into the corn belt, and because
Of low prices many farmers feed
them to hogs. Soybeans contain a
high percentage of oil, and this oil
causes soft pork. While soybeans
are valuable as hog feed for their
high protein content, they should
not be fed to hogs that will be mar
keted. Feeding Of the meal after
the oil is removed is safe and does
not cause soft pork.

Newly Born Calves Must
Be Given Special Care

During the winter time, newly
born calves should be kept away
from drafts in the stable in order
to avoid colds and pneumonia,
warns a writer in the Prairie Farm
er. Leaving the calf with It's moth
er during the colostrum period,
which Is about four days, will
make it more resistant to sickness
After the period with the mother,
the calf may be fed from a bucket,
three or four times a day for a few
days, and then twice a day as the
calf grows older.
With bucket-fed calf the great
est cause of digestive disturbances
is irregularity in amount of milk,
time of feeding and temperature of
the milk-that Is, outside of drafts
and dirty milk buckets.
After four or five weeks the calf
may be changed from whole milk
to skim-milk, taking about seven
days to make the change. Good
quality legume hay and grain mix
ture of coarsely ground corn and
oats, with some bran and oilmeal
added, should be placed before the
calf. 1t will learn to eat in a very
short time. Fresh water and salt
should be accessible at all times.
Milk may be discontinued at the
age Of six months.

GRAIN AREA AS
SHOWN IN 1882
Figures on Worlds Cereal
Consumption.
What does the world eat2

What does the world eat?
Its two thousand millions of pOpu-
lation managed to consume in 1882,
in one form Of another, 15S,000,000,
tons of wheat 59,OOO,OOO tons of rye,
51,000,000 tons of barley, S2,O0O,0OO
tons of oats, 122,0O0,0OO tons of corn,
105000,000 tons of rice.
At any rate, that much was pro-
duced, according to the latest figures
of the International Institute of Ag-
riculture at Rome, of which the Unit
ed States is a member, which keeps
track OF world production.
The statistical picture is carried
through the first half Of 1882, when
reports from all over the globe
showed 1,240,046 square miles devot-
ed to the culture of wheat, corn, rye,
barley, oats, rice and minor cereal
crops.
The two billion individuals are
shown to be scattered over an area
of 345,000,000 square miles-about
five and a half persons to the square
mile. Only about one three-hun-
dredth of the total area is devoted
to the production of cereals-a total
of 1,240,046 square miles.
The United States had the largest
amount of land devoted to cereal pro-
ductiOn, a total of 84,125,000 hec-
tares, hectare being approximately
two and half acres. India was
close second with approximately 49,
100000 hectares.
Asia, with population of 1872
1900, was far in the lead in respect
to population, containing 53 per cent
of all the people on the globe. Eu-
rope, without Russia, had a popula-
ton of 3S0,5S5,000. Russia's popula-
tion was estimated at 163, 10000, or
| just a little below that of North and
| Central America, which totaled 1885,
100000. South America trailed the
continents in population. with 81, $685.
900 persons.
The tables show little increase in
the amount of land under cultivation
during the last decade. The land de-
voted to wheat culture has increased
about 100000 hectares over the pc
riod from 1923 to 1927, but rye, bar
ley and potato acreage has remained
stationary. There has been about a
100000 hectare increase, however,
in the land devoted to corn and a
100000 hectare increase in the rice
area
BY far the greater part of the
worlds land remains unplowed, the
figures show, with great amount of
it not adapted to cultivation under
present conditions.

Bootleg Kisses

Residents of Bronxville, N. Y, were
ordered by police to refrain from
kissing in the local railroad station.
Reason: kissing blocked traffic in
the morning, according to the Phila-
delphia Record.
A curious reporter visited the sta
ton the morning after the order
went into effect. He found that
commuters who hadn't kissed their
wives goOd-by in years had brought
them to the station for the express
purpose of violating the regulation.
The officer on guard, afraid to make
a move, reported he had never seen
so much kissing. Bootleg oscula-
tions popped as American citizens
defended their liberties.

about the democratic process that
comment is superfiuOus.
