POISONED SODA
ARRESTS NEAR
AS ; DIE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20
U.N.SO.-Dr. j. C. Geiger, San
Francisco's public health director,
today asked police to make at
least two arrests in the city's SEN
sational poison baking soda" case
In which three persons have died.
He also said results of his In
Vestigation indicated the deadly
poison was dumped" into barrels
filled with soda at local salvage
StorehouSe.
The soda was sold by the salvage
company to Mission Street store,
from whence it was purchased
by hundreds of housewives.
Asks Store Officials Arrest
Geiger asked the arrest of an
official of the store and an ex-
ecutive of the slavage firm for
violation of the pure food laws.
He also requested the police TO
70 into all possible criminal
angles of this case" adding that
ct have heard strong rumors that
labor trouble is involved.
The health official announced
that three more victims OF the
poisoned soda were treated by
physicians today, bringing the
casualty list to IL stricken in
addition to the three dead.
Search for Arsenic
I'm sure said DR.. Geiger,
"that the poison was dumped into
the soda, because they are so
mixed together. If the soda had
been put into barrels formerly
containing the poison, the poison
would have only shown in the
soda around the edges of the bar
rels."
He made a further request of
the police "to search for arsenic
I understand was at the salvage
warehouse but which has disap-
peared."
The head of the Salvage Com
pany declared, according to Gel
ger, that he never had any arsenic
around the warehouse.

The Farm Brigade

WYE HAVE had many marches on
w Washington in recent hectic years
but the visit this week of 1000 farm
ers to the capitol city bears little resem-
blance to most of the pilgrimages.
Where most groups have gone to en-
barrass politicians and work for some special
legislation, the attitude of members of this
group is one of appreciation for what has
been done for them and their neighbors.
Timed to have influence on balky con-
gress, the visit will in all probability lead to
enactment of AAA amendments the admin
istration deems necessary and result in con-
tinuing the program which these farmers
credit with large part of the return of
fair prices and prospects of farm prosperity.
Much criticism has been made of the
AAA program in recent months, partly from
farmers themselves and from consumers
but the bulk of the howl has been from pro-
cessors who find their interests best served
by low prices and plentiful supplies. The
enthusiasm of these representative farmers
will be powerful factor in offsetting this
criticism and maintaining the ground gained
by agriculture.

IN THEIR efforts to be helpful, well-mean-
ing friends sometimes grossly overdo
things. It appears that friends of Theo-
dore Christianson are erring badly in advis-
ing him to get into the race for the Repub-
lican nomination as president.
Mr.. Christianson has what must be a
very pleasant position, that of congressman
with liberal salary and quite agreeable
work. He is in place where any ambitions
to serve his state and country can be full
filled and it is likely that the job is his for
several future terms if he desires it.
Why then should he want the Republic
an nomination? Supposing he was success
full in attaining the distinction of being a
candidate for president, the chances of
election would be extremely doubtful. One
would naturally take pride in even being
mentioned for president and certainly being
nominated would be cause enough for any
one to become big-headed. But there is no
pension fund for also rams or Debated big
heads.
We have a sincere respect for Mr..
Christianson and his accomplishments and
ambitions but believe he will be wise to
make his career in the presidential spotlight
short and sweet.

Shoppers Pet Peeve

<<NNE OF the pet peeves of farmer
who comes to town to shop" one of
our good friends writes, "is to have
to park three to six blocks from our favor
ite store and then lug groceries, including
possibly sack of -four or sugar, back to the
car.
eff the load is too heavy to carry, we
have to walk to the car, drive it to the store
and double park, tying up traffic and risk
ing tenders, while we load the bus with our
purchases.
"But what REALLY makes us peeved
is to recognize dozens of cars parked in the
choice spots on the main streets which we
know belong to merchants and their clerks.
It's their privilege but we do think it DANCED
inconsiderate."
The subject which is very adequately
discussed above has led to several campaigns
in recent years and whenever the matter is
called to the attention of the offenders, they
have been considerate for time about leav-
ing the family bus outside the business dis
trict or home at least on days and evenings
when shoppers from out of the city are like
ly to be most plentiful. Gradually we get
back into the old bad habit and another re-
minder is necessary. The Gazette hopes
this will serve as sufficient memory re-
froChor

War Game Dangers
If Ianan were

If Japan were to hold series of war
games in the Pacific, announcing that they
were to simulate actual war conditions ii
there were an invasion from the east, the
situation would be somewhat comparable to
the present United States maneuvers. How
er there is one important difference-the
people of Japan fear and expect armed con-
flict within short time. They view the
United States as a potential enemy.
This country feels that Japan might be-
gin war, but because of the apparent
strength of the United States, there is no
general uneasiness. Hence Japanese man.
euvers in the Pacific would be regarded more
as warning than threat.
Perhaps war games are necessary to
maintain efficient fighting forces. But it
would have been impossible for the COM
manders to have chosen spot more likely
to develop antagonism than the mid-Pacific.
If there is any danger of conflict between
Japan and this country, the present maneu-
vers are adding to -Worthington Globe.

Law and Order

4 NYONE old enough to be interested
~ can recall the enthusiastic forming of
at least a half dozen organizations,
with hurriedly chosen officers, set of by
laws, membership fees and high aims and
ideals, all of which were just about forgot
ten two months after their Inauguration
day.
Usually they are to bring pressure on
some legislative body or have some idea to
sell the public before a swiftly approaching
election day. Their principal stock in trade
is prospects.
But the Law and Order league, organ
ization plans for which were drawn here
Monday night, has something to sell besides
prospects. Already it has played a promin-
measures designed to cut down the crime
menace in Minnesota.
Standing on that record, the league can
afford to ask support in the things which it
believes are left to accomplish. Mainly the
program aims to build respect for laws and
to encourage and assist police officers with
enforcement, although not by snooper acti-
vities, it was made clear. During legisla-
tive sessions it will work to improve GRIM
inal prosecution methods to point where
the public is protected as fully as the GRIM
inal and for further improvement of police
facilities.
What a community accomplishes by a
law and order league will depend, as is often
the case, on what effort it puts into it. Our
point is that the league is asking this COM
munity to take stock in going organization
the value of which has already been quite
well established.

A Cruel Suggestion
young man from up this way wrote to

He did not know what to do


\ the newspaper the other day.
He did not know what to do.
He was young, unmarried and lived with
his mother on rs acre farm. He wishes
work and could get none because his politi-
cal color did not correspond with those who
were giving out the work.
He could get no relief because he had no
debts and no family.
His attitude was that he wished some
thing from the government so he did not
know whether to get married or go into
debt.
We could not advise him what to do. We
would say that if he got married he would
probably also get into debt. That would be
doing two things at once.
Perhaps there is another way out. That
is to get at work on the farm There is al
ways plenty of work to do even on Is acres
of northern Minnesota land. There are some
things that can be grown and some improve
ments that can be made without much out
lay of capital.
1t would be rather cruel to put the
young man at work. But the suggestion is
made for what it is worth Grand Rapids

Made in USA?

w IHEN factories in America are idle and
w and millions of men are unemployed,
it is strange how frequently one finds
merchandise offered for sale that bears a
label indicating that it was made in some
foreign country.
A box of matches now on my desk bears
the label of Soviet Russia. Matches are
manufactured right here in Minnesota yet
these came halfway around the world. Most
of the gadgets popular as bridge prizes are
made in Europe or Asia, toys commonly
come from Germany and the list could be
heightened greatly with bit of study. At
a recent patriotic banquet it was discovered
that the flags used to decorate the table,
ironically, bore the label made in Japan"
a reminder of the dirt cheap labor which
has driven American products from foreign
ports and contributed materially to the de-
preston.
Paper statesmen like to tell us "this pro-
duct is made right here in Minnesota" and
the fact that these manufacturers pay taxes
for the same purposes, employ laborers who
eat our foodstuffs and contribute their part
to the growth of the state in which we are
most interested has it's sales points. Made
in America" should have the same affect.
Stock buyers should insist on American
goods and clerks should be instructed to use
that point in selling. The advantages are
clear to the public, the need being to have
attention called to them.
