Bed is Best Treatment
For COLd-in-Head.

The best treatment for cold-in-the-
head Is day or two at home in bed
This IS the, opinion of the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
expressed in bulletin on the subject
Of absence regulations in school.
Many schools. while exercising COM
mendable care Of the health of their
children in other ways, still discourage
absence from school for common
colds" and make it difficult to make
up work thus missed,
This practice results in more school
time lost In, the long run, in the opinion
of the doctors, and far greater danger
Of serious illness for the children
MANY cold Is not simple cold
at all but measles or whooping cough
or scarlet fever or one of the other
respiratory infections, all of which are
likely to appear to be just a cold in
their earliest and most infectious stages.
If the victim of one of these diseases
comes to school because he believes
he has "just cold" and his absence
viii be frowned upon, the result may be
an epidemic and many days of school
time lost.
IF the trouble Is just a cold. after
all the child is hardly likely to do good
work in school and a day or two at
home in bed viii protect other children
and do more than medicines to help
him get over 1t in hurry"
Parents are warned by the doctors.
also, that their responsibility is even
greater than that of the schools to
watch their children and keep them at
home when they may be a danger to
others.

ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

November 18th, sixteen
years ago last Sunday, the
world rejoiced. Firing ceased
and the great war which clear
ly indicated devastation for all
Christian nations was stopped
on an armistice order. The
country went wild in the
thought that the great sham
bles and carnage was at an
end. Rejoicing was accom-
panied by the din of whistles,
blare of bands, tears of joy and
the greatest of happiness. 1t
was we'll and the lives of
thousands of young men were
thousands of young men were
saved when the armistice was
signed.
vs. Now, after sixteen years, we
look back-after having all
these years in which to think it
over-on the events of that
period with a quickening pulse,
yet with the feeling that the
selfishness of man plunged US
into the turmoil and dispair
and that the world was not
perfect then. The world is not
perfect now and war clouds
are lowering over the better
part of it at the present time.
While we have been trying to
rebuild shattered universe,
sinister forces are still con-
sniving to again put the world
in a war mess. Instead of an
armistice let US have peace.
Yes, let us have peace. The
American Legion has a recipe
for peace in the universal
draft act" which bears all the
earmarks of becoming a law of
the United States at the next
session of congress. When in
dustry, money, mines, farms
and all else is drafted along
with men for war purposes,
there will be no war. Profit
is the incentive for war and no
profit, no war. Stand behind
the American Legion in their
demands for the universal draft
act.

Highway Department
Buys SnOIU Fence.

In preparation for winter operations
on roads recently added to the trunk
system, the state highway department
has purchased 100000 feet of snow
fence and 10000 steel posts, says de-
partment bulletin. This will replace
county snow fence which was
used last winter on the new roads, and
will permit the counties to employ their
fence on their own roads.
The cost of the new fencing and
posts was approximately $4,000. The
highway department this winter will
have nearly 1000 miles of snow fence
on the II 800 miles of state roads. Most
Of this has already been erected.

Now that election is over and
the results are fairly well estab-

assist them in every way in the

get that we are Republicans,

of Us regardless of political
affiliations.
Governor Floyd B. Olson has
been reelected by large plur-
atty, over other good men, on
the Farmer-Labor ticket.
While we must remember that
the majority rules in this
country and that he is the gov
ernor of this great state and
as such should be honored with
the united support of its popu-
lace-not as a Farmer-Laborite
but as q governor.
The dynamic personality OF
Minnesota's chief executive

the radical platform upon
which he stood. This is at
tested to in the fact that he
received 100000 less votes this
year than he did two years
ago. While the radical, con-
fiscatory platform on which ne
stood was endorsed, the fact
still remains that he is only the
governor and not the dictator
of the state. The senate and

There has been sudden activity all
down the line on initiative petitions.
This is due very likely to the fact
that only about six weeks remain in
which to obtain the signatures Of the
necessary $4,000 qualified voters. Tax
payers generally are becoming more
reluctant to sign these things. The
fact is percolating that initiative Pc
titions are rather costly drain upon
the tax resources of the state, espec-
tally at time when every available
nickel is needed for the support Of the
schools. The spending Of $4,000 to
$4,000 out Of the general fund to
check signatures, print copies, and to
mail these things to every registered
voter in the state does not appeal to
the thoughtful man and woman. Any
one who takes the trouble to read any
of the many petitions now being cir
culated would not hesitate to reject
them promptly. All represent the act
ivities of small minority group with
purely personal political axes to grind
or ambitions to be fulfilled.

farmers have allowed their leaders,
many self-constituted, to perfect po-
litical tie-ups with labor chiefs. The
longshoremen's strike will hurt the
farmers as much as it does other in
dustrial leaders. Labor cared nothing
for this, or that wheat movements
stopped, small growers see their mar
ket disrupted, apple shipments were
halted, and necessary supplies for the
orchards unable to move from the
coast inland, hurt the growers. The
other side of the picture shows ten to
fifteen thousand regularly employed
men and women dropped from pay
rolls, taking out of circulation money
which would have gone to buy farm
products.

the government pays them for the
land taken out of cultivation.
Now a greater power than legisla-
tion has taken a hand-and shown the
nation what crop curtailment in the
grand manner is. The power is ma
ture. The crop is wheat.
The middle west is literally des-
ert. There hasn't been so disastrous
a spring in 40 years, and great agri-
cultural states are dry as the Sa-
hara. The drought is trimming all
most two million bushels of wheat a
day from the official May first esti-
mate of the crop.
The drought was accompanied by
a dust storm that picked up billions of
pounds of top-soil, with its planted
grain, and carried it away, to fall
along the Atlantic Seaboard as well
as the Middle western cities. Some of
it fell on the dome Of the capitol at
Washington. Some fell in Wall Street.
Twelve million pounds fell in metrop-
olitan Chicago-four pounds for
every man, woman and child in the
city.
Federal farm officials are consid-
ering allowing farmers to plant acres
that were retired-have advanced
the date for signing wheat production
control contracts. In many areas hit
by drought it will be impossible to
raise any crops at all this year, and
government benefit payments will be
the only source Of income the farm
ercs will have. Even abundant rain
fall could not save the crops, 80 great
has been the damage.
AS result, the agricultural admin
istration has new and grave prob
lem on its hands-how to carry the
stricken farmers through a barren
year.
