Twilight of the Gods"
Seen Only in Finlaad

Thousands of years ago Ice and
water from the Arctic ocean to the
Baltic sea covered what is now Fin
land. Like the Hollander, the Finn
has for generations been capturing
his country from the flood and vi IL
out wars or treaties Of peace is an
nexing every year vast territories OF
virgin soil, as virgin as Venus rising
from the waves. Yet, according to
a correspondent, so much remains
uncaught that Finland can boast OF
being the Lake district of Europe.
Here are more reed-rimmed water
spots than In any country ON the
continent. 1t Is larger than the
British isles In area, 80 that from
the confines Of Lapland to the busy
Baltic 1t enjoys every variety of
summer climate. Still more striking
are its contrasts OF light The lu-

the human eye Is privileged to see
In few other places.
At moments, Time himself seems
to utilize the golden nail of which
Lope de Vega writes, to stop the
Fastening whirl of his wheel and the
sun waits above the western skies
to start afresh new days run.
Finland has the twilight OF the gods,
and light and shade are oblIterated.
The Finn far from home Is more

for anything else. and / do not
blame him.

To Furnish Flags For Deceased
Veterans Relatives

Relatives of deceased honorably dis
charged veterans of wars of the United
States may secure burial flags from
postmasters, according to a communi-
cation received at the Oakland post
office from the Veterans Administra-
ton. Application must be made prior
to the actual burial of the deceased
veteran.

Oakland postoffice and when positive
proof is furnished that the veteran
was honorably discharged from his
last period of war service the flag
will be furnished.
If this cannot be done the post
master may accept the application and
issue flag when a statement is made
by a person of established character
and reputation that the veteran was
personally known by such person to
have been honorably discharged.

Fifteen Cases of Scarlet Fever
Reported Since November /

There have been fifteen cases of
scarlet fever reported in the county
since November 1, according to DR..
E. C. Peck, health officer. Four of these
cases have developed within the past
ten days-three in Oakland and one
near Bittinger.
DR.. Peck has explained the differ
ence in the use of serum and toXoid.
He states:
"The use of the word serum for all
kinds of NEGOTIATIONS to prevent dis
ease is a mistake which leads to con-
fusion in the minds of everyone who
hears it.
GA serum is prepared from the blood
of an animal or possibly a human be-
ing who has been immunized against
the disease by NEGOTIATIONS or infected
with the disease. The animal then has
in it's blood the power to resist the dis
ease, which we call immunity. The
blood taken from this animal has the
immune part separated (purifed)
from it and offered for sale in the
form Of serum, which is often called
antitoXin. The state furnishes diph-
liberia antitoXin and tetanus antitoxin
through the Health Department.
"a serum when injected into the
patient gives him protection within
a few hours, but it is borrowed pro-
lection, and only lasts for a few
weeks, so its use is not advised for
the permanent protection of children
against disease.
"The material which is used for
permanent protection against diph-
liberia and scarlet fever is called tox-
old. Material of this type is purified
from bodies of the germs of the dis
ease and chemically treated to make it
safe for injection into people. 1t has no
living germs in it, but the local irri-
tation caused by the injection causes
the persons body to build up immu-
nifty, which takes several weeks to
develop completely and then lasts for
years.
"For this reason the use of toxoid
while the disease is present in the fam
lily or in tn eneighborhood will not pro-
tect all the children. Some of them
will develop the disease before they
develop immunity from the inocula-
ton, but those who escape the disease
for few weeks will probably be safe
for years"

NICE ATTACKS new DEAL
In ADDRESS AT CHICAGO
Maryland Governor Says People
Are Suspicious of Interior Pur-
poses of Those In Power

Making his first assault on the
Democratic farm relief program, H.
W. Nice, Governor of Maryland, as
sailed what he called the government
tai heresies" and purchased pros
perity" of the New Deal, in a speech
before a joint meeting of Young Re-
publicans in Chicago yesterday.
The New Deal, he said sis indeed
new-because it is the extreme and
ruthless reverse of all the political
tenets and traditions of this free re-
public" He continued;
"The farmer is told that he has
money in his pocket and money in the
bank. He has rot been told, however,
that foreclosures of, mortgages on
farms are continuing at the rate of
five thousand a month. He has not
been told about the loss of our for
eign markets. Nor has he been told
that the money in his pocket and the
money in his bank will prove made
quate to meet the increased cost Of
X the necessities of life.
Criticizes Farm Policy
"The farmer has not been given to
understand the questionable wisdom
of taking acreage from production
while at the same time spending
millions in land purchases to be used
in additional farming and thereby in
crease farm products. Nor is it under
standable how the farmer is to be
benefited by policy that permits mil
ions of bushels of foreign grain to be
imported into this country, which i'm
portations have been purchased out of
the tremendous taxes imposed not
only upon himself, but on all the peo-
pie throughout the land"
The alleged" New Deal, Governor
Nice said, is so radically" different
from the New Deal promised by the
administration as to arouse Serious
suspicion in the minds of the Ameri-
can people as to It's Interior purpose"
He did not develop this statement.
While recognizing the need for I'M
employment relief, the governor said,
"there is another form of relief equal
ly important. There must be relief
from recurring interference by the
government with business, industry
and labor" A permanent policy,
bringing confidence to industry so it
can plan ahead, is necessary, he said.
Tired of Economic Planning
At the same time, he asserted, "the
people of this country are weary unto
death of economic planning. They are
willing and eager to work out their
own destinies."
"No one Denies" Governor Nice
said, chat the hungry must be fed
and the destitute clothed and housed,
but we must not, through wasteful ex-
travagance and inexcusable overhead,
impoverish and make destitute the ma
ton in this work of humanity"
