The Midwest
THERE is no mistaking- the temper of the midwest which
Is stirriner with revolt against adverse conditions - which
affect agriculture. The governor of North Dakota has de
clared an embargo, futile to be
out of the state. In Minnesota

" the state NRA chairman has resigned because it doesn't
work in agricultural territory, increasing prices of goods
farmers' buy without helping prices of produce they sell.
Senator Norris and Gov. Bryan have shown independence in
criticising the ? blue eagle ' program.

be restored to pre-war buying parity. The department of
agriculture has made a valiant

is shown by recent statistics
which show farm prices for
1909-1914 average. Fruits and
animals are only 62; and the
meat oroducinir area, cattle
Here is where the' farmers complain, while their selling
prices are only 70, prices paid by farmers are 116. A prime
. reason for this liesinthe very next line in the statistical
table we are quoting from:
After goods leaves the farm
, hands the toll of labor is 176 of the pre-war average.
. This is true in transportation, in manufacturing and in retail
ing. Wage levels took a spiral during the war and post-war
. period; and: have not receded as have farm prices. Fees for
professional services likewise have not been deflated to

as far as it used to when he brings it to town.
The desirable thing would be to pull the farmer up rather
than to push some competing group down. But some way
or other there must be a parity. For the inability of the
farmer to buy destroys the big farm market and so results
in unemployment among irity workers.
Since the former market f of farm production of cotton,
wheat, hogs was in part abroad, the attempt to compress that
farm production into domestic consumption proves ruinous.
The effort should be directed toward restoring foreign mar
kets, even at low price levels ; accompanying such effort by
. opening up of domestic market for. foreign goods to pay for
our exports. Instead of economic nationalism our policy
should be economic liberalism. Attack low world price levels
by a general stimulus to international trade through lower
ing of barriers. Not an easy formula ; but the surest 'one to
get us over our troubles.
New Taxes or Old I
WHILE the legislature convenes to see what new taxes it
can levy to provide give-away money it might consider
something in the way of collecting old taxes. Quite as im
portant to many units of government is tax collection, as
important as new ways to extract money.
The legislature has gone far toward drying up tax collec
tions through making it easy for taxes to go unpaid. Many
people are delinquent through no fault of they: own ; but
others have simply been dilatory, have used the money for
other things. There is no way to separate the sheep from
. the goats apparently; but some inducement, such as is ad
: vanced byt the Lane county court, might be adopted to get
i people to pay up their taxes.

Bargains in tax-paying ought to prove as effective as in house
dresses and floor lamps.
Why Not Investigate Politicians?
THE senate committee has done a lot of muck-raking over
Wall street and the New York financial houses. The job
needed to be done though the expose is smelly. Now suppose
we turn a smelling committee loose on senators and expose
the truth about how laws are made, how tariffs are written,
i how dams are built (or not built) , how senators get elected
to officeSuppose we let the sleuths comb the private files
oi congressmen and publish their letters on questions of
legislation and of appointments. Suppose the committee
unravels the bank accounts of senators and bureau chiefs.
Suppose it even unraveled the expense accounts of senators
and senate committees. As we r&all, the senate refused to
publish these expense lists when &eir grafts were exposed.

HEALTH
Mv Royal S. Copeland. M.D.
IN MY MAIL, the other day 1 had
a sad letter from a mother who bad
recently lost her child. The child
had complained of a sore throat, but
the doctor was
not called until It
was too late to
save the little
victim from the
crutches of diph
theria. Everyone
will sympathize
with this mother.
It is ber wish
that I warn all
other mothers
against the, dan
ger of neglecting
diphtheria.
There is no
doubt that this
child, as well as
thousands of oth
Dr. Copeland
er children, could
have been saved front untimely death
if the necessary steps had been taken
to guard against diphtheria. It can
not be questioned that modern meth
ods of Inoculation against diphtheria
have saved the lives of millions of
children.
RecenUy, In New York City, the
millionth child received the inocula
tion. That is a fine record. It is
hoped that eventually every child
six months old will be given this
protection.
Diphtheria Inoculation
Though most mothers are familiar
with the procedure, many fail to take
advantage of this modern medical
discovery. Perhaps this can be ex
plained by early misunderstanding
and the unfounded propaganda ot
those who claim, the treatment la
dangerous.
May I assure every mother that
adverse criticism of diphtheria Inocu
lation is without scientific founda
tion. Every child is entitled to re
ceive this protection and should be
given these injections. Bear in mind
that diphtheria is a disease that can
be prevented. But it can only be
prevented if the necessary injections
are given.
' If a child is listless and complains
of a sore threat and fever, call your
physician. With such symptoms
diphtheria should always be suspect
ed if the child baa not been inocu
lated against the disease. Early
recogaltien Is essential If the child's
life is not to be endangered. When
the disease is Immediately recognized,
diphtheria anti-toxin can be given.
It is only ot value if given at the
onset of the -disease.
Protect Your Child
Though It is sometimes possible
to isolate children from diphtheria
germs, we never know when we may
be exposed to these germs. They
are always present in Our midst.
Guard against them by the protective
measures modern science offers. The
inoculations are not dangerous but
it ta extremely dangerous tor your
chad to be without them.
If there were universal use of these
Inoculation the disease could be en
tirely eradicated. We know what re
markable results have come from
our attack against smallpox. But at
one time smallpox was a dreaded
scourge of mankind and found in all
parts of the world.
With the discovery of vaccination
and the enforcement of this method
of protection, that disease has been
almost entirely wiped out. In fact.
In certain countries where vaccina
Uon against smallpox Is compulsory
the disease Is rarely encountered.
Surely the same thing could be ac
complished with diphtheria, but that
is possible only by the co-operation
of everyone concerned.

' CHAPTER FORTT
New rduta was coming on
and there would be more expense
to get herself and Pop ready to go
oyer for it as well as for hhn.
Tommy's graduation was going to
be the crowning event of Mom's
life and then, when she saw hhn in
his glory with her own eyes, she
would be satisfied that she had
done her best for him and that he,
anyhow, was going to hive his
chance to go out in the world and
have things. She knew he would
take care of them after that, no
matter whom he married; but even
if he didn't he would have his
chance to be great and that was all
Horn wanted if aha had to keep on
workinar hard all her life.
Anyhow, and Mom felt very
strong about this, he would marry
tome fine girl and if she had to
give him up so soon, she d have the
satisfaction of knowing it was to
a nice srizi and not to some s trump
like Florrie Johnson who was just
like an alley eat even if she did
have a good heart. A girl like that
would drag any man down to the
gutter with her although you
couldnt really blame her at that
because she just didn't seem to
Jmow any better or care.
Mom looked at the clock on the
chair beside the bed; it was ten
minutes after five and that Florrie
Johnson hadnt come in yet; how
did she stand it and work every
day on the lears at the factory?
Mom shut off the alarm so jt
wouldn't wake Pop; and after an
other few minutes -she got up and
started to get breakfast; and after
she had poked the fire in the grate,
she set Pop's shoes and pants and
shirt there to get warm and went
to the kitchen and put the coffee
on and put on some rolled oats
and warmed up the skillet. Then
she called Pop. He had slept like
a log all night; that was why Mom
was glad he could get things off
his mind by talking because when
a man worked hard . all day he
needed his sleep at night.
Pop was always grumpy and
didn't say much in the morning;
but he noticed that Mom hadn't had
much sleep.
"No use worrying about that
boy," he said. "You better get back
to bed for a rest after Pete goes
out."
Mom did that and was so dead
tired she dropped off until dinner
time; she wouldn't have got up till
then except that Uncle Louie would
be coming in for something. He
handed her a paper, the Smithville
morning paper. It had Tommy's
picture again and under it it said:
THORNDYKE STAR DENIES
ENGAGEMENT.
Mom felt relieved. The piece went
on to say that the rumor had just
been a press agent statement.
"Somebody, said Randolph, at the
home of Grover Jones, Pyramid Film
mogul, today, "was just after pub
licity. I dont even know the girL"
Mom put down the paper. "ITiat s
just what he should have said," she
declared.
Uncle Louie was more interested
in his baked beans.
That afternoon, when the Athens
News came, Mom read it eagerly.
There was more news of her boy
big news, reports of this and that;
of what he was going to do when
he left college.
He was going to West Point; he
was going to play pro football; he
waa going to coach; he was going
into business with the firm of Cor
nelius Winthrop, famous capitalist
and the father of Elaine Win
throp, Park Avenue artist whose!

Pep demanded. "It's no disgrace to

. "No but that proves she's a

Nobody answered him. Uncle
Louie took the last piece of steak
from the platter and answered
himself: "When I say they're a
hunky, they're a hunky."
"All right, shoot me the beans,"
Pop said.
Mom smiled to herself. Things
were peaceful again; but it was a
good thing Pop had a big heart;
she felt so proud of him then that
she couldn't say anything when he
sneaked a bone down to Nippy un
der the table. Nippy was a nice
little dog and had very good man
ners except when Pop did things
like that to spoil him. He had been
that way with the boys, too. .

Mom began getting ready for
Tommy s graduation as early as
March. The first thing was her
clothes. Mom hadn't bought a good
dress since Tommy graduated from
high school when she had got the
blue flat crepe. It was still good
and would do plenty well enough
for second best but she really
needed i new one so Tommy
wouldnt be ashamed of his mother
among all the millionaires' wives.
A black satin would be richer
looking but, then again, black was
for old people and Mom had always
wanted a gray crepe de chine and
thought it would be very dressy
and make her look younger as
Tommy wouldnt want people to
think his mother was an old wo
man. She took her time making up
her mind and, in the meantime,
kept right on looking through the
pattern books to find the style
which suited her. Mom was going
to make it herself as she could do
real well except when it came to
at the I. O. 0. F. hall starting
about 9 o'clock.

dow; and being black they'd go
with her dress whether it was black
or gray and with the Mae crepe,
too - f : .
And she had mad up her mtod
pretty well about a gj
a black straw because she had had
one faced with pink when she waa
married that she'd looked real good
In; but ahe had am Idea Tommy
wouldn't approve of her in colors
so much so she'd ask Miss Tuttle
to face it in.gray, instead.
Jl body got older; till, . whra
she had a boy graduating from col.
lege she couldnt very weUexpeet
to dress as young as she did when
she was married. - Sometimes Pop
told her ahe never looked day
older and Mora really didnt think
she really looked her age; and Pete
told her once she and Steve looked
like sisters; but, just the same, she
knew she wasnt a spring chicken
anymore.
There were her hands; they
showed It most. Mom was worried
more about her hands than any
thing else. Her fabric gloves
wouldnt be stylish but since she
had her crooked finger ahe couldnt
get her hands into kid gloves very
well; and the nice ladies all wore
gloves when they were dressed up
because she saw them in the pic
tures in the Sunday papers. ,
And Mom wanted to wear gloves
anyhow because her hands were
not white and pretty like the hands
of the other boys mothers would
be, because Mom had always had
to work and she had had to use her
hands for scrubbing and washing
and eleanhur and hanging op
clothes in the raw wind and all
that, and they were red and, swelled
and even cracked. It wasnt that
Mom didnt know how to take care
of them she had remembered as a
little girl how old lady Whitney
even used to wear gloves to bed.
Mom just didnt have time; she had
started out all right, rubbing them
with lemon rinds, and cucumber
peels but there had been too many
other things to do with her hands.
She did the best she could from
the beauty hints on the radio.
There was a Nellie Binney . on
WTAQ at ten o'clock every morn
ing who seemed real good; but this
waa bard, too. Mom didnt have
money to spare to buy the things
but she did the next best; and the
men folks were always coming in
at the wrong time. Once she used
the last of the buttermilk in the
bottle for a face bath and Uncle
Louie came in and went to the ice
box to get it because his stomach
waa bothering him; and he saw
what Mom had used it for and he
