Giant Cottonwood Tree
Is Victim of Axe.

Montevideo- giant cottonwood tree,
which for many years grew along the
west bank of the Chippewa river a mile
north of Montevideo, has fallen victim
to the woodsmen's axe, because a hollow
formation at its base was often used
by youngsters as an open fireplace and
the fires which many times were left
to burn INTENDED made it a dangerous
hazard. The men who are telling King
Cottonwood, measuring five feet three
inches in diameter at the base, have
found that their job will last for some
time. With saw and axe they wittled
at the base of the tree and at the end
Of "A hours work the two men sue
coded in telling the tree and cutting up
ID stove length cords, taking the large
branches only. Not having started on
the main trunk, it was estimated that
81 cuts Of 16 inches each remained.
Two bottom cuts will make more than
a cord of wood and in the upper half
there will be four cuts to cord.

Protect All Babies
From Diphtherid.

Diphtheria has reared its ugly head
in Minnesota again and physician men,
bers of the Minnesota State Medical
Associations Committee on Public
Health Education today urge parents to
have all unprotected children immun-
lied against it Immediately.
A small epidemic among unprotected
children in Minneapolis is the occasion
for this warning.
People have been lulled into false
security against diphtheria, the bulletin
points out, because of the great drop in
the amount of diphtheria cases and
deaths in the state during the last ten
years.
Widespread immunization with toxin
anti-toxin or toxoid among school
children is the chief reason for this
dramatic drop. Doctors have constant
ly warned, however, that protection of
school children is not enough because
it is the babies and pre-school children
who are most susceptible to the dis
ease, and large percentage of these
babies and small children are still I'M
protected. Among these unprotected
children an epidemic is likely to put in
its appearance at amy time and such
an epidemic cannot be prevented until
all babies are immunized as a matter of
routine in the first year of life.
The procedure used is simple and eff
fective in the vast majority of cases ac-
cording to the doctors. Its effective
ness is greatest when it is done in baby
hood, furthermore, and the Schick test,
given after the immunization procedure
is completed, will tell definitely whether
or not the child has been successfully
protected.
The death rate from diphtheria of
children under five is 125 for every 1000
cases according to State Board of

perhaps fatally injured 8 physician while on flood emergency duty.
 The physician, Dr. Benjamin AL port of the Springfield hospital staff was confined to that institution with skull fracture after being struck on the head with rifle butt.
 Exonerated by a military board shortly after the incident yesterday, Private Michael J. Cassenelli of Pittsfield subsequently, was ordered arrested by the Springfield police commissioners. Cassenelli's superiors detached thim from duty and or- dered him to quarters but refused to surrender him to civil authorities pending 8 ruling by Adjutant- Gen. eral William I. Rose of the National Guard.
 Dr. Alport went to Buckingham school yesterday to inoculate refu- gees quartered there. At the en- trance he was confronted by Cas- senelli, who demanded credentials. Military officials said the guards man had been instructed to bar everyone except those bearing spe- cial passes.
 National Guard officials declared that when Cassanelli explained about these orders, Dr. Abort flip panty retorted that orders were made to be broken, and brushed past the sentry. It was then, they said, that the guardsman hit the doctor on the head with his rife butt.
 Maine To Be Helped
 Washington, March 24-(Up)-- Gov. Louis J. Brann of Maine and members of that states delegation in congress urged Secretary of War George H. Dern today to adopt 8 permanent flood control program for Maine which would lessen pos- sibiiity of future disasters.
 Members of the delegation told Dern that in 1913 the army engineers had made a survey of flood control in Maine and decided no project was necessary. They said particularly there appeared to be no danger of disastrous floods on the Kennebec, Jenobscot and Androscoggin rivers. All three areas experienced heavy floods last week.
 Last night, Brann and his delega- tion conferred with WPA Director Harry L. Hopkins and was assured his organization immediately would repair flood damage to public prop erty in Maine. Cities benefitting from the work will be asked to con- tribute part of the necessary funds.
 We were assured" Brann said, that the full resources of the WPA would be placed behind the program of rehabilitation. The WPA may also during emergency, work on private property where health is in danger or where there is hazard to life.
 "The entire engineering force of the state highway department will be made available to WPA to facili- tate apd aid in the immediate be- ginning of the projects"
