Just A Beginning

r HE DEMOCRATIC PARTY will do wei
| IN this election to use lot of discre
ton in making claims of what it ha.
done for the farmer. The devaluation of thu
dollar helped him lot and, believe, all ir
all the AAA was further assistance Thus
for the first time the farmer did benefit dir.
'ectly by action of the federal government.
In the past considerable money has been
expended by the government through the
department OF agriculture in improving
main highways and devising better methods
of farming and many shallow thinkers list
these appropriations to show how much has
been done in the past to help the farmer.
But the highways were used as much or
more by the residents of the cities and towns
and all Improvement in methods of farming
were, of course, Immediately passed on to
the consumer
The tariff, often set forth as an aid to
the farmer likewise, was of no benefit be-
cause producers OF an unprotected crop like
Wheat shlfted production to such protected
crop as butter and soon there was devas-
tat1ng overproduction in crops like dairy
products.
The industrial producer has had con-
tlnually rising tariff labor has had in recent
years closed market owing to the immi-
grafton restrictions; the merchant marine
has had it's subsidy; politicians the govern
ment frank which helped pay large part of
their campaign costs, and banks have been
permitted to issue currency
The Democrats finally elected the farm
ers to the inside select circles of the special
privileged But, the Democrats must be
careful not to give the impression that they
feel that agricultural recovery has more
than barely begun. When the farm income of
1885 has been doubled then the Democrats
can really crow. = ''The Weed Puller' in St.
Paul Pioneer Press.

Opportunity Formula

~ NE THOUGHT particularly recon-
\ mended to young people is that behinC
the modest business which is paying
good money into the cash register, the farm
that is owned and profitably operated and on
up to the bigger business and the larger
farms, there was meagre beginning. Some
one worked overtime and saved every penny
possible in the earliest stages and then prac-
ticed frugality and hard work as the little
pile grew to larger pile Careful too was
the worker that one unwise plunge did not
leave him strapped in case of an error in
judgment or unforeseen events.
Fully as important as working and saw
ing was the never ending guarding of credit
Borrowed money was necessary frequently
in the early stages and still is in the average
business Men who build fortunes, large or
small, take every precaution to discount
bills, meet every obligation, someway, when
due and have a horror of overdrafts and 'in-
sufficient funds" checks.
Don't ever let anyone tell you opportun-
ity for success is lacking in America today
The same chances our fathers had to get
ahead are here now. The trouble is we neg
lect to use the old formula.

TOR SEVERAL YEARS the success Of
most state, county, city, village anc
township officers has more or less beer
judged by their success in securing aid from
the federal government for public projects
A handout for new public building or an
airport or athletic field was the mark of par
ticular efficiency while most communities
got repairs to old buildings, or roads.
The money was available and was going
to be spent Every community very logical
ly felt it was contributing share of the vast
expenditures and would be foolish not to
grab any portion it could for itself.
Experience has taught some communi-
ties that the effort and delay in getting this
help, the red tape strung on spending it and
the regulations imposed on contractors make
it a not unmixed blessing in many instances.
Now the matter of civic pride comes into
the picture, The Fairmont Sentinel having
expressed this attitude on the subject:
This particular taxpayer would feel better
about it if Fairmont providing its own ath-
letic field and storm sewer without accepting
handout from anyone More self respecting. AS
city or county, should be too proud to be
on relief Being will have the same effect
on us as municipality that it has on indivi-
duas-a certain, inescapable loss of self res
pect.

Spring Inspiration

to rake the lawn, burn the rubbish,
have tae trees trimmed, set out shrubs or a
hedge or some new trees, have the ash pile
hauled away, spade the garden and in other
ways beautify the premises and make the
start toward early vegetables and beautiful
summer flowers.
Frequently the inspiration is stified
with the hot days of June. Lawn tending be-
comes a care and the weeds assume jurisdic-
tion over the garden. Too often the new
trees and hedge are sacrificed for the want
of little attention with the hose.
Aiming to get the most from preliminary
enthusiasm and to extend it through the
summer by stimulating domestic pride and
offering the chance of worthwhile prize,
the Citizens State bank is sponsoring a
lawn and garden contest. Readers are urg-
ed to enter, with the hope that the city may
be considerably beautifed thereby.
To the thousands of persons who visit
our city each summer, no impression is more
lasting or creditable than that it's citizens
take pride in their homes and enjoy keeping
them neat and beautiful

TACT that the schoolhouse pump
was continually being broken by
midnight marauders. So the two
secret operatives planted them
selves at the school grounds one
halmy night to await the vandals.
Soon car drove up, stopped and
stayed. Fearlessly Bud stepped
out from his hiding place, switched
on his fiash-light, and approached
the pair inside.
With a shrill note to his voice

The Lam's thinking of perpet-
trating continued story to be-

FEVER NATURES
DEFENSE WEAPON

Among the newer methods of
medical science for curing disease
none is more interesting than few
er treatment.
There was time, according to
today's bulletin from the Minneso-
ia State Medical association, when
fever was regarded as an evil to
be avoided and reduced at all
costs.
This conception changed when
researchers discovered that fever
is the body's chief defense when
infection invades it. Measures
are taken to reduce fever when it
rises too high for safety, of
course. But fever destroys germs
and it is now generally accepted
that the disease and not the fever
should be attacked first.

Additional Winnings
Made By Carbonites

Additional prizes were won on
beans, corn and potatoes at the
Midland Empire Fair at Billings.
In the grain class, first place was
won on white oats by R. H.
Hughes of Silesia; second place
on Marquis spring wheat by Joe
Pokarney, and first, second, third
and fourth prizes were won on
Great Northern beans; also fourth
prize for the best bean collection
was won by Mr.. F. L. Purcell of
the Triangle Bean Ranch at From
berg. Twelve varieties were ex-
hibited. Third prize was won for
the best 10 stocks of Late Dent
corn by Fred Brown of Silesia.
Fourth prize was won by Mr.. T. N.
Olson of Fox on Bliss Triumph
potatoes. The competition in this
class was very keen.
Fourth prize in artistic arrange
ment of the booth was won by the
county, and fourth place on the
county collective basis was award
ed Carbon, but upon the protest
of Richland and Pondera counties
this prize was withdrawn because
of the fact that the score card
upon which the booths were
judged did not allow anything for
fruit, and since fruit was included
with vegetables, upon the check
up this point was disallowed after
the protest, thus the fourth place
in county display was granted to
Richland County, which showed
practically nothing but corn.
In the event that Carbon Coun-
ty should put on an agricultural
display in another season, o. P.
Roberts advises that either the ex-
tension office or whoever is in
charge of the display should be
notified some time in advance in
regard to the different products
that people of the county have to
exhibit, because the old, old story
of having better stuff at home
does not win any prizes.
