company is daily pumping from
this area more than 10000 gal

No Candidate Willing to
Shoulder 81 Billion
BY EARL GOODWIN

BY EARL GOODWIN
One reason why the Roosevelt
stock scars this last few days is
that he seems to be alone in the
field.
His party has no other candi-
date; his opposition can't dig up
a candidate who wants to run
the United States with 37-billion-
dollar debt-going on 40 billions!
FINANCIERS UPSET
The moneyed boys in the various
money marts of the country from
Wall Street in New York to La
Sale Street in Chicago and beyond
that all the way to San Francisco
have. decided that there is no
hope in any candidate IN Slgnt
for the Republican Party.
They figure that no one repre-
senting financial America, with
his feet on the ground, would want
to 70 into the White House with
the present national debt on his
shoulders, and that anyone who
would be glad to sacrifice himself
to the Job would be more or less
of what Wall Street calls a crack
pot"
AS far as the Wall streeters
from New York to California are
concerned, the present political
fight is not between the Demo
Gratis and Republicans. The Re
publicans, they say, are out OF 1t.
The fight is between the two or
more factions in the Democratic
Party.
CONIhkbU 44VN0 VA4
Is the Democratic Party going
to be Democratic again? The old
party Of Carter Glass, Woodrow
Wilson, etc.,-or is 1t going to be
New Deal from now on? Or is
there to be o party with North
western progresSives in the van?
Questions to ask, these are; but
who knows the answer? Until
some definite light is thrown, there
will be precious few dollars con-
tributed to anti.New Deal political
uses.
The statement that no one with
his feet on the ground wants to be
President with a thirty-seven-bl.
lion-dollar debt comes from a stu.
alton which apparently has been
created by conversations with one
or more members of the Federal
Reserve Board.
RISING DEBT
From these conversations, there
has been circulated a fear that
the national credit will begin to
get a trifle blue around the edges
if the national debt climbs to
forty billion-just three more little
billions after the danger sign.
There are other views on the
subject, but whatever the truth,
there seems to be a disposition to
shiver at the idea Of an ascending
debt with all the political conse-
quences.
The old.time banker who Is al
ways ready to rush forward and
support the old guard is difficult
to find. That is, support 1t with
cash.
ASSOCIATES FEARED
Wall Street, apparently, has de-
serted everybody in politics; there
were q few Wall Streeters who
were standing by the President be-
cause Of such associates as Joe"
Kennedy, whose Craftsmanship of

Lands are out, and the Wall

chairman, William Douglass. They
are 50 timid about him that some
of the Wall Streeters blame the

fear.

II doubt If there will be
much, If any change, in the

Face Epidemic
Mouth Disease Symptoms
Cause Anxiety and Prop
er Diet is Suggested.

Several reports have come to the
county agents office concerning an
outbreak of a mouth disease among
cattle in the vicinity east of Pine
City and the State Livestock Sanitary
Board and University Farm have been
contacted by the county agent, Max
McMillin.
The following is summary of the
information obtained from those
sources: 'In dairy cattle, it is char
acterized by marked reduction in
milk production and some cows be-
come practically dry. There is also
a considerable reduction in weight
The cattle are unable to eat because
of the extreme senSitiveness of the
mouth and tongue which show
LESSONS and symptoms very similar
to foot and mouth disease except
that there are no LESSONS involving the
feet and no stiffness or lameness as
would be the case in foot and mouth
disease" says w. L. Boyd, professor
of Veterinary Medicine. The disease
ID SIOIIldtlllS, says LII. oOyo, dill IL
lasts from 10 days to two weeks.
There have been very few fatalities,
the great loss being in the reduction
of the milk flow. The disease seems
to be contagious and there is no set
method of immunization such as vac
cination.
Improvement of sanitation and iso-
lation of the affected animals if at
all possible is recommended. This
is effective only in the very first
stages. For animals that are affected,
the mouth should be washed two or
three times daily with mild anti
septic such as two per cent solu-
ton of potassium permanganate.
Fresh water should be kept before
them at all times, and the use of
bran mash and slop feeds are recon-
mended.
A reliable veterinarian should be
called, says Mr.. McMillin.
DR.. Bromaghim, of the state Live
stock Sanitary Board, met with a
group of farmers and the county
agent at Pine City Wednesday night
in regards to the disease situation.

At a special meeting of the board
