NORTHWEST DEFEATED
Editor ASkov American:

t1ShOs
The most interesting plank in the
Republican platform drawn up at
Philadelphia, is the important for
eign plank. A number of experienced
and wise Republican congressman
from the northwest insisted on a
strong stand as to foreign involve
ment, but apparently they were
showed under by eastern interest.
Mr.. Pepper of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Dawes Of Illinois, out-maneuvered
them. Mr.. Dawes was ambassador
to Great Britain just before he ran
short of change and came back to
this country and managed to get a
large loan of some ninety million
dollars, some of which was or is not
repaid.
1t seemed that a Mr.. Brooks from
Illinois wanted a strong anti-war
plank in the platform to the effect
that not one drop of American blood
should be shed on foreign soil" This
was a little too much for the old
guard to swallow and this clause dis
appeared from the platform with a
meaningless plank substituted. Mr..
Brooks, apparently being weak, made
little speech agreeing to the change.
Mr.. Willkie is a dark. horse of the
most unknown quality. He did not
run in the primaries. The news
papers ballyhooed the country into
believing that the people actually
wanted Willkie. 1--WE want Willkie''
was the slogan. Mr.. Taft claimed
that the galleries were packed with
Wilkes hackers, who apparently had
been trained to root for Willkie.
Harding was also a dark horse once,
but better known, as he had served
in the Senate. Never vote for dark
horse.
And so the Republican convention
ended with Pew, Pepper and Dawes
winning out.

FINLAND ARISES
minneapolis Star-JournaD

\A1lllllCdpOllS Ildl|
Finland is rendering today at Wash
ington its semi-annual war debt pay
ment to the United States, despite
the crushing blow which has fallen
on the country since last November.
1t is a gesture characteristic of a
nation which is rebuilding bravely
what is salvaged from the Russian
assault.
Finland lost to Russia 100000 acres
of farm and forest land; two of its best
harbors- Viipuri and Hanko; several
large medical centers, and valuable
industrial plants and transportation
facilities.
One hundred and fifty thousand
homes were destroyed in the fighting,
as were eight major hospitals and the
University of Helsinki.
Finland must rebuild these; must
house 100000 fugitives from coded
areas who preferred homelessness as
Firms to homes on Russian soil; must
build 20 new hospitals to care for the
10000 wounded in the war.
This work is going forward-not
only to restore what was, but to build
better this time, for an ultimately
higher standard of living than ex-
listed before.
Finland lost it's war, but saved its

Heavy I, olFrom
Bangs Disease
All Livestock and Humans
May be Infected by the
Germs.

Bangs disease INFECTIOUS abortion)
causes annual losses of more than a
half million dollars to Minnesota
farmers and the best method of con-
trolling it is for owners to rid their
herds of infected animals, says w. L.
Boyd, veterinary chief at University
Farm, st. Paul, who has recently COM
pleted new bulletin on the subject
Symptoms of Disease.
A small microscopic germ causes
Bangs disease in cattle, horses, sheep,
goats and swine, and its relation to
human health cannot be ignored, Boyd
points out. Symptoms of the disease
in cattle are: Premature birth of
calves, breeding troubles and retained
afterbirths. In man, the disease is
known as undulant fever, and while
it is not a dominant public health
problem, individuals do become in
fected with Bangs germs by handling
infected animals or from drinking un-
pasturized milk containing these BAG
terra.
Vaccination does not cure the dis
ease but only develops a temporary
immunity to its effects. After vac
cination the germs still exist in the
animal and on the farm so no per-
manent cure can be expected from
this method. Control of the disease
by vaccination is still in the expert
mental stage and while it is hoped
that it may prove successful the plan
cannot as yet be recommended.
Preventative Measures.
Successful preventative measures
recommended include: Blood testing
of all animals at frequent intervals,
prompt disposal of cattle that are
found to be infected, a thorough
cleanup of the premises if the disease
is present and the purchase of ami
mails only from accredited herds. A
state law makes possible the payment
of indemnities up to SIS for grade
animal or $50 for purebreds that are
blood-tested under the Federal-state
eradication plan and found to have
the disease. Indemnities are in ad-
dition to the carcass value received
when condemned animals are sold.

tension Bulletin 2O9, Bangs Dis

Millin, county agent.

1t is popular to scott at and scold
about the government program and
providing desirable services and pub
lie improvements by means of such
agencies as the WPA, but much of this
criticism does not seem to be we'll

apply to work projects of this kind,
they are intended to meet a major
problem in a constructive way and,
by and large, as the agency now OPP

Speaking of ''the bottom dropping
out of everything" how would you
like to have been in Abraham Lin
coins shoes when he was inaugurated
president and found several states
seeding from the Union, federal
buildings and forts in the hands of
rebels, hundreds of his best officers
resigning from the army and navy,
and not even the North united be-
hind him?
But the bottom didn't drop out.
Lincoln's calm courage in the face of
what seemed to be a hopeless situa-
ton won out, and today we have one
big nation instead of two warning
factions which seemed inevitable in
1861.
Next time you think "the going is
tough" read one of the many bio
graphies of Abraham Lincoln.

change in 1910, there will likely be
some strange House faces next WIN
ter.
The Minnesota Township officers
unit is going to take an active part
in the Legislative fight this year
and in every district are going to pick
men that will support the four cent
gas tax-and the retention of the one
mill road tax. They also intend to
see that the next Legislature does not
make any further attempts to
''streamline" the township form of
government in Minnesota.
Then there are other groups in
terested, also. The old age lien law
is bound to make some difference
and be the setting for some hot scraps
in some districts-while the SO per
cent law will also be held up to the
spot-light-a have to run the
gauntlet of publicity in several dis
tricts. And there are rumors that
there will be some sensational charges
made in this direction before the CAM
paign is we'll under way.
The tax groups are also active, and
want legislature that will give real
attention to the tax problem of the
state next year-so our legislative
fights are giving promise of being
quite interesting in many sections.
