Why The Spread
By Congressman Kn1ttsOn

Wherever I &c farmers ask me
to explain the great spread beween
what they receive for their pro
ducts and what they must pay for
what they buy. The reason is not
far to seek. The rising cost Of gov
eminent presents the main OBJ
stacle. which is limiting agriculture,
business and industry, and narrow
ing the horizons of economic OPP
portunity.
In 1913, when our national in
come was but $50, 3O9, 100000, the
cost of government federal, state
and Locally was but $2,919, 600, 900, or
81 per cent of our national pro
duction.
In 1929 the national income had
risen to nearly 80 billion dollars and
the cost OF government to IS billion
dollars, but the people were happy
for the load of taxes was only 1916
per cent Of their income.

SPORTS

The locals are now entering the
last lap Of the football season and
thus far have done very well. BY
winning over Albany they have now
four victories to their credit, which
is a record as good or better than
any football team Sank Centre has
had before. With two games left,
one with Glenwood and another
with Alex, the boys should wind up
the season with four or even six
victories on their books.
There was a little uncertainty in
the local camp last Wednesday eve
ming because on the night before
Jim Arneson sustained an injured
shoulder which kept him out OF the
game. Bud Steffes seemed to be the
likely candidate, so Hank Johnson
shifted over to Arneson's position
and Steffes shot in at right guard,
where he did a fine job OF 1t.
Sank Centre received and made a
touchdown in the first three min
utes Of play; they then drove In
hard on the defense to hold their
opponents scoreless while they ran
up two more touchdowns. The ef-
feet of good coaching and practice
were displayed when the locals ran
the ball from their own 10 yard
stripe 80 yards to touchdown, and
as Harry said afterward, they
looked just like big ten team in
action"
THIS N THAT ABOUT SENIOR
HIGH"
Last Thursday in the Junior Aud

high students with her limitations
of some very well-known characters

to life and for the audiences en-
joyment. The characters showed
time and effort spent in the maxi

we'll developed tone Of voice for
each. In closing Miss Taylor stress
ed the value Of public speaking and
the ability to express ones opin-
ions. It was the first of the ser

year, and was very much enjoyed
by all.
About two weeks ago the School
master staff was divided into two

-WE, THE WOMEN
 IF YOUR HUSBAND THINKS YOU ARE A LUCKY GIRL...
MAKE HIM ANSWER THESE-BUT TRULY

Most men feel-whether they say it aloud or only show it in little ways-that their wives were doggone lucky to get them.
 Maybe they were. And maybe most of the luck was the other way. If you think the girl you married got the biggest break of her life when you proposed-you might like to justify your point of view.
 l. Do you let her stand by feel ing silly while you fiirt with the hat-check girl?
 2. Do you feel that home is one place where yOi- can exercise a grouch any time you feel in the mood?
 3. Do you get jealous when she seems to be having a good time at a party without any help from you?
 4. Are you impatient when she feels "low"?
 5. Do you feel that being mar ried gives you the right to sit through a meal in silence?
 6. Are you always the life of the party?

 Milk and Hay Fever
 Does milk confer any degree of immunity against hay fever? Have been drinking to 2 quarts day for many years, but have suffered with hay fever for 12 years. Inoc- ulation in the past eight years gave me about 80 per cent immunity, but still have much trouble at times (W. A. R)
 Answer-Milk confers no inmu- nifty so far as I know, but milk is perhaps the best possible food fol anyone subject to hay fever. Sent stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, for instructions for taking cal cium lactate and vitamin D to re- store natural immunity.

Paris (UP)-Bust-length jackets elbow length sleeves and all-the- way down the front zippers are the outstanding features of the laetst spring coats.
 Nicoll is showing raspberry red horizontally striped bolero over vertically striped coat. Many of the new jackets are removable, leaving severely simple coats beneath. Very striking is a mustard color bolero with wide bands of brown suede en- circling the collar and extending to the waist. Coarse gray stitching divides the two colors.
 Fitted, beltless and collarless is an elbow-sleeved coat of turquoise blue, with wide yarn stitching ap- bearing like basting on the single rever in front. Also elbow length is the sleeve of heavy crepe coat with invisible fasteningS and tiny embroidered collar. The wide lapels are stitched on the garment and extend to the hips.

BEAUTY.
Glori1ing Yourself
 AR.s uoA
NEA Service Staff Writer
By Alicia Hart

The woman who feels clean from head to foot, knows that her clothes fit perfectly, that she is as meticul- ously groomed as time and patience can make her will always appear poised, sure of herself-even charm ing.
 If you doubt this, try to remem- Der how you felt the time you dis covered a run in your stocking just as you arrived at a party. Or what your inside thoughts were the time you went to the office in a not-quite-spick-and-span blouse only to discover that you had an important lunch date that day. No time to go home and change, so you kept the luncheon appoint ment in that slightly soiled blouse and you weren't very happy about yourself, were you?
 It really is a mistake ever to leave your room until you are so carefully groomed that you won't shudder when the doorbell rings and be painfully embarrassed if your caller turns out to be, not a boy selling magazines but the new neighbor down the street.
 And it's an equally bad idea ever to go to your office wearing anything that gives you that oh- I hope nobody looks -closely-at- me-today feeling. You never can tell-your employer may pick that day to ask you to lunch with a client or to send you uptown to see a prospect.
 Yes, the worst thing about be- ing haphazardly groomed is the way it makes you feel. Don't sacrifice your personality and poise to the desire to make the flngerwave do just one more day Don't let yourself create an i'm pression of being ill at ease sim ply because you were, or thought you were, too tired to press your skirt last night or in too much ot hurry to brush your hat and shoes this morning.

THE DENTORS PULL A BONER,
 so TO SPEAK

THE DENTORS PULL A BONER,
 so TO SPEAK
 In the bushel of propaganda marked For Immediate Release" this bit bearing the authorization of the Dental Institute of America somehow caught my hypercritical eye. Describing the unhappy course of events in a case involving a dead tooth," whatever that may be, perhaps, as the propaganddm hints, a tooth with recently dead nerve or with its nerve ('nerve," l" probably, means pulp) removed al- together, the bulletin says:
 But one day when the bodily vitality has been lowered the con- dition becomes acute, the jaw swells and fever develops. Then the patient is sick, for infection has invaded the bone beyond the root end ."
 Nothing to get excited about so far, is there? That is, assuming it is not your tooth.
 ouO WllCIC lily 1OllS Cdl D pricked up, figuratively:
 ". While the swelling grows worse, the dentist can administer only palliative treatment, for while symptoms increase the disease in- vaderS have the upper hand. After few days nature builds anti-bodies in the blood stream, and again the patient gains the upper hand. But not until these antibodies are pres ent in sufficient number to continue the fight"
 Well, sir, that's what I'd call darn poor consolation for the victim o1 the toothache. Without saying so ir plain words the dentors who pre- sumably compose the Dental Insti- ute of America" virtually advise the credulous reader to just try to grin and bear his toothache until the antibodies can take care of it Of course a dentor with such con- ception of surgery would not care to take the chance of giving proper surgical relief in the first flew days of the suffering from abscess, lest the patient later blame the dento1 for any i'll effects the neglected ab- Scess might have.
 Precisely that attitude inspired the old time dental quacks who kept patients suffering for days or weeks with "ulcerated" tooth py advising the patients that it would be dan gerous" to drain the abscess by i'm mediate extraction of the tooth while the jaw was all swollen and everything.
 If the Dental Institute of Amer ica" really represents any body ot reputable dentists, they ought to ap- propriate part of the propaganda fund to send a few of their mem- bers to some recognized school ot dentistry to learn something about the first principles of surgery.
 It is a shame that the lay public should be subjected to such propa- ganda, which looks indeed as though it were deliberately intended to un- dermine the confidence of the lay man in the best dental practice ot the day.
