Dry Weather
VALLEY City Times-Record)

Residents Of North Dakota may
take some comfort from the thought
that the weather man IS doing much
better by them than he Is by south
ern Minnesota. Wisconsin, and north
ern Illinois. A trip from st. Paul to
Chicago reveals the fact that the por-
tons Of country mentioned above are
still suffering from the dry weather,
and only within the last day or two
has rain In any quantity fallen in
those sections, and then only q light
rain far below the needs.
As might be expected the crops as
seen from the train window are very
poor indeed. OF the hundreds OF
fields noted scarcely one looked to be
anything like normal. and most of
them were showing the appearance
Of practical failure. Corn fields were
spotted In . peculiar way, there be-
ing few hills Of the plant maybe a
foot high and then q long gap with
nothing or with the growth just COM
ing through the ground. The worst
appearance was in the fields Of oats
where the plants were very thin on
the ground and heading out with
such short length as to make 1t i'm
possible to harvest the crop with any
thing but mower. And the pastures
In many cases looked far worse than
did those Of North Dakota before the
rains came. One who has ridden
across Illinois every summer for many
years never saw it looking 50 badly
off for crops as It does at present.
And almost every county in the
state reports the worst plague OF
clinch bugs ever known. In some
places the concrete roads are stained
pink by the bugs which are crushed
under the wheels Of passing cars.
Needless to say this visitation Is rapid
~ completing the destruction begun
by the severe dry weather, and II rain
does not come soon the situation for
feed crops will be very serious indeed.
So the people Of Barnes county may
feel that the rain maker has singled
them out for special favors as COM
pared with what Is being dealt out
to this particular section. And It is
hard On Illinois which has seen but
few years Ia III its history when there
was any question Of having enough to
feed IL livestock. Small streams are
reduced to q trickle or dried up COM
pletely. which Is m rnheard Of thing
Ii this part Of the world.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SmOking and Carbon Monoxide

In one Of your interesting articles
you mentioned carbon monoxide as 4
possible factor in the injurious effects
Of smoking. Will you kindly give any
reference you have concerning that2
(W. H. d.
Answer - Laboratory investigation
by Alex. o. 0ettler, Phi. D., and Mar
jorie r. Mattice, A. B., SC. NJ, Of New

ably increases the carbon monoxide
In the blood. These investigators re-
ported their observations in the Jour.

Why Breathe with Your Belly

Hopeful SIGNS

Business America looks with hungr,
eyes to the farm belt for a return O
substantial prosperity.
Gone are the illusions of the ga,
twenties when the farm problem wa.
merely something for people in oul
great metropolitan centers to laugh
about. In their place have come al
understanding that America Is ar
integral unit; that we all rise ant
fall together; that there can be nj
real market for manufactured prod.
ucts unless the farmer Is in position
to buy.
Current indices show that the farm
situation Is improving except where
drouth has been most severe. Farm
prices are better and the ratio be.
tween the cost of farm produce and
the cost of manufactured articles
has improved.
People In the cities have been pa
tient In the face Of governmental
efforts to raise prices by curtailine
production. They have seen the cost
Of living rise steadily but they have
not protested because they realize
that, after all, there will be little
for them unless the man on the farm
gets something. How long this will
last remains to be seen. There are
signs that 1t will not continue indefi-
nitely. Secretary Wallace. in hts re-
cent address here, warned against q
blast of propaganda intended to align
the city folk against the farmer. to be
loosed next winter.
Meantime, the improved farm Sit
uation is rejecting itself in the cities.
A recent survey by Dun and Brad
streets showed pickup in the farm
equipment trade. the sales volume
having trebled for the first five
months OF this year as compared with
the similar period in 1888.
The same authority notes the ire
mendous potential demand for new
equipment on the farms and asserts
that. as soon as purchasing power
picks up sufficiently. industry's wheels
will have to move at top speed to
supply the needs which have been
damned up during these last II years
by inadequate returns to agriculture.
This Is encouraging to the farmer.
It gives promise that he is, at last,
about to come into his own.

An Individual Problem

what" inquiries . public spirited
Bismarck citizen, "can we do about
the rising automobile death toll?"
He had In mind the adoption of
laws for drivers licenses, improve
ment Of roads. forced testing Of the
mechanical condition Of motor cars
and similar expedients which have
been urged or adopted in an effort
to halt the tremendous loss Of life
on our streets and highways.
The answer, so far as the public Is
concerned. Is difficult. How can any
ono force protection upon individuals
who are not sufficiently interested to
protect themselves? Can any system
take the place Of personal attention
to the rules Of safety? It seems
doubtful. =
From the personal standpoint,
however, the answer Is simple enough.
Each motor car driver can look out
for himself. He can follow the rules
Of the road and OF reason. He can
keep in mind that he may be the
next to Join great army passing
into the dim beyond unless he drives
carefully himself and Is prepared to
make allowances for the ignorant or
careless drivers Of whom there are all
too many on our roads.
Analysts looking at the problem
from q national standpoint blame
tho return Of prosperity for the fact
that the automobile death list was
longer during the first quarter Of
1894 than for any similar period in
our history. There are more cars on
the roads and the percentage Of fools
driving them Is the same. The re-
suit Is obvious.
Those who would take purely To-
cal view Of the problem need only to
investigate the last two fatal acci-
dents in Burleigh county. with three
dead. to get an insight into the larg-
est current difficulty. It is that Of
excessive speed.
Two were killed when q motor car
crashed into . ditch, turned over
and stopped in field east Of the city.
Indications were that 1t was travelling
swiftly when the mishap which sent
It off the road occurred.
Another man was killed north Of
the city when, travelling at high
speed, no was forced to swerve to
avoid hitting truck entering the
highway from side road.
That automobile plunged into the
ditch, turned end-over- end and came
to . stop on its wheels. It takes ter
rifle force to make an automobile
perform such capers.
The death rate among pedestrians
hit by automobiles also Is increasing.
One authority reports that seven out
Of every 10 children killed in motor
ing mishaps during the first quarter
Of this year were struck while walk
ing or running in the streets. One
out Of every five killed was riding |
on some vehicle other than an auto
mobile or motorcycle. most Of them
being sleds or bicycles. The death
rate from casualties Of this type Is
81 per cent higher than last year.
What to do about It?
The answer should suggest itself to
every motorist. The one require
the driving job lest he, too, become
. victim or become the unintentional
cause Of another's death.
