there are seventeen square miles of

In the light of all this is it any
wonder that President Roosevelt, in
his Inaugural Address last January,
said that one-third of the nation Is
ill-housed. ill-clothed, and ill-fed?

Learning to Spell

The old-fashioned spelling bee" is being revived
all over the country. We hear them over the radio, as
spelling teams representing different schools. groups
or states compete with one another for medals or
prizes. They furnish not only interesting entertain
ment, but have an educational value which is very
high indeed.
Some years ago some educators with newfangled
ideas got the notion that it was necessary for chill
dren to learn to spell. Their idea took root. and many
school systems all over the country adopted it. One
result has been a crop of boys and girls starting out
in business life who can't spell even ordinary words
twice alike.
That is pretty poor equipment for a stenogra-
pher, for example. Even if her boss himself doesn't
know how to spell. the folks who receive his letters
may know. and they will rate him and his business
pretty low If his correspondence is full of mis-spelled
words. And the boy who writes a letter asking for a
job gets less attention than, perhaps. he deserves, if
his poor spelling indicates ignorance.
We ought to learn to spell our own language.
Let's have more spelling-bees.

WITH OTHER EDITORS
Poorest Paid of All

An item in commissioners proceedings this week
is well worth reading. For fear you may overlook it
we print it again on this page:
T. T. Olson. per diem, $4,000; viewing roads,
$1,000; welfare board, $500; total. $500.
Sigurd T. Lavold, mileage and per diem. $3.50;

w. H. Halls, mileage and per diem, $3.50
viewing roads. $500; welfare board and mileage,
$25. so; total $3.50.
The welfare board bills of the three commission
es combined are paid from the poor fund of which
the state pays its proportion.
Totaling the amounts paid the three commission
ers from the general and road funds for per diem and
mileage, three days service at the regular June meet
Ing two days viewing roads, you have $119.40, or
$3.50 less than the smallest salary paid an elective
county officer per month.
That is not all. There are many days when the
commissioners are called to the court house to meet
with some state employe-water conservation. WPA.
PWA, ETC., for which they make no monetary claim.
Cricket control and distribution of poison are also a
part of their monthly work, free of charge.
In addition, they listen to the complaints of the
needy, unworthy, travelling hitchhikers. etc. who want
food, clothing, gasoline or other forms of assistance
to help them out.
Commissioners Lavold and Halls live in the
country consequently miss some of it; but Chairman
Olson is a resident of the town. and upon him falls
the principal work of trouble adjustment. He spends
nearly as much time in the court house each day as
a regular county officer working under legal hour re-
quirements, and when those who want helm cannot
find him at that place they find him out where he
lives. Around the court house, on the street, or at
home he is the center of attraction of MANY as the
chief trouble adjuster.
o before you criticise a county commissioner. be-
fore you conclude he is overpaid, or that he has a real
snap, consider how much work he does each month.
also what a small remuneration he receives for what
is the hardest and most disaereeabe work in the
county, especially since the depression settled over

SALT LOSS

SALT LOSS
1t was discovered some years ago
that miners who work in very hot
mines and so lose a lot of fluid by
perspiration are liable to muscular
cramps. However, If they Stake their
thirst by drinking dilute salt solu-
ton instead of plain water they do
not get cramps.
Peoples who live in hot countries
regard salt as a very precious part
of their diet. The saying, Eye are
the salt of the EARTH" would mean
much more in Palestine than In AL
aska. Scientists tell us that salt is
more important in hot weather than
we have known.
1t can be shown that we lose a
great amount of salt with the sweat
that our skins pour out to keep us
cool. If we lose twelve pints OF
sweat. as is quite easily possible, we
shall lose at least half an ounce of
salt. You can see tht this loss may
be greater than can be made good
by the salt you ordinarily take in
your ulet.
An English army doctor came to
the conclusion five years ago that
the troops under his care in the hot
climate of the Punjab were suffering
from salt loss during the hot seas
ons. He reports that since he in
creased the salt in their diet his men
have suffered much less from heat
prostration as well as from muscu-
lar cramps.
If we drink three quarts of water
on a hot day we can add to that
amount a tablespoonful of salt with
out making the water too brackish.
If that method is distasteful it
should not be very difficult for a
clever cook to work in some extra
salt In vegetables and sauces. The
salt water method is, however. to be
preferred because 1t makes sure that
plenty of water is taken with the
salt and that only those who are per-
spring freely and therefore are
thirsty are getting the extra salt.

projects; and the anne rule goes for
workers in other trades.
With the recipients of relief en-
joying incomes comparable with
those of skilled workers, 1t is not
to be wondered at that they want to
hold their WPA jobs, and Congress
men from many parts Of the country
are in receipt of intimatiOns,
amounting to threats, that If they
make a move to cut the relief ap-
preparations they will hear from the
organized WPA workers at next
years elections, in no uncertain
terms.
labor Situation Alarming
Some Of these intimations carry
the suggestion that an utilization be-
tween the WPA workers and the
CLIO is in process of formation.
There is no confirmation Of this OBJ
tainable, but the possibility Is giving
some members the filters.
Congress just doesn't know what
TO do about the Labor situation, but
there are plenty of signs that most
of the members would like to amend
the Wagner Labor Relations Act in
some way to make 1t apply equally
to employers and employees. AS 1t
now stands, it penalties employers
who do not conform to it, but puts
no obligations upon organized work
ers.
The feeling Is growing strong on
Capitol Hill that the permanent
Labor situation. brought about by
the activities of John Lewis and his
clio, is getting out of hand and
that recent Labor activities are
pointing toward the need of a
strong new national labor policy
which would make labor organiza-
tons equally responsible with indi-
vidual or corporate employers for
living up to contracts.
Again, that is something which
Congress would like to do but does
not yet see the way clear to do it.
Plan Remodelling
Congress, in its present mood, is
giving serious thought to liberty, so
the Capitol remodelling scheme
to have been laid to rest,
along with the Presidents plan for
the Supreme Court.

Jacob had now lived three dec
AIDES beyond the century mark.
He had, therefore, attained an
age far exceeding the average life
in Egypt or elsewhere, and this
as we'll as his relation to Joseph
focused all eyes upon him. 1t is
indeed a notable thing to become
a centenarian and more notable
still to climb the stairway OF
several decades beyond. And it
is not an accident. Sometimes it
is due to heredity which imparts
sound and healthy body to be-
gin with; sometimes to strict OBJ
servance of the laws of health;
sometimes to the poise and eQua-
nimity of mind which refuse to
fret over the worries of today or
borrow from the troubles of to-
morrow; sometimes to fortultous
circumstances which shelter one
from the sterner and more SIREN
uous conflicts of life; but, in all
cases, it is due above all to the
mercy of God that lengthens the
cord of time. And while we live
in deeds rather than in years, yet

of interest in Jacob than his long
years, his gray head, his patrl-

must have been written large in
his face. making the countenance

Jacob had ripened with age and
had been sanctified during the

of the old dcceiver was gone. The
fraud and trickery and mischief
of other days had all disappeared.

KINDNESS LOVES. Note the
beautiful deeds of a dutiful son.
The Prime Minister of Egypt sent
for his famine-smitten father in
Canaan, supplying paternal want
out of filial wealth. He left the
palace and met his father on the
border of the country, receiving
the old embrace and renewing the
old love. He provided for his faith
err the best pasture lands in the
lower Nile Valley, thus guarantee
ing support and agreeable occu-
patton. He brought his father to
the palace and gained audience
for him with the king of Egypt,
knowing that shepherds were de-
spised by the Egyptians, yet 'un-
ashamed of the rural patriarch at
the most brilliant court in all the
world. He nourished his father in
the land of Goshen during the re-
naming seventeen years of the
patriarch's life, presenting his
sons for the ancestral blessing
and taking oath at Jacobs word
to bury him in Canaan. And when
! the aged sire was gathered to his
fathers the faithful son embalm-
ed the body, mourncd over it for
many days. and with an impress
sive retinue carried 1t on the last
