They would immediately get together the strongest fighting
force available, under the bst military commanders, to repel
the enemy.
For the time being all other business would be dropped. No
time would be wasted in waiting for federal or outside help.
Like the minute men of old the people would arise to do the
job themselves, under the best leadership they could secure.

23 a foe threatening the serious injury if not the destruc
tion, of this state nevertheless. It is the foe of economic col
lapse, just as surely endangering our homes, and the security of
our families, as if the weapons were poison gas and bombs in
stead of merely bare cupbonrds and empty pocketbooks. The
state is in critical danger, financially.
What should the people do in this caset Obviously just
what they would do In tha first case. Immediately get together
the strongest fighting force available, waste no time in waiting
for outside assistance, but prepare to do the job themselves
under the best leadership that could be secured.
THAT is what should be done in this matter of sending two
new representatives to the special session of the state legis
lature from Jackson county. This community and this state
face a crisis. It is no time to consider mediocrity, or partisan
politics, or ANYTHING but the pressing problem that confronts
us and its prompt and satisfactory solution.
The two best men, best in the sense of most able and effec
tive should be sent to represent Jackson county at the special
session. For this will be the most important legislative session,
in the recent history of this state.
This session must solve the state financial problem, the state
relief problem, the state liquor problem, the state educational
problem; it must devise a workable plan for" saving this state
from bankruptcy and economic destruction. v
It is no time to quibble about whether a man ia a Republican
or a Democrat, whether he is young or old, whether he lives in
one section of the county or another, whether he earns money
with his HANDS or his head. There is only one thing to con
sider what CAN HE DO, what has he done, is he a man of
character, force and capability,

not the fashion in practical politics. There are backs to be

If we ran private business

thing is how our various governments, local and national, in
spite of our bunglesome and slip-shod political methods, some
how "muddle through."
And when looking for a scapegoat we need look no further
away than ourselves. We the people are to blame, and on one

an earlier epidemic in. 1923-24, some
valuable control observations were
made. In the earlier epidemic whoop

In the 1629 epidemic of whooping

This time the treatment prevented the
development of the disease In 458 of

Immunity Against Typhoid.
.Some time ago you wrote that some
people who receive the typhoid pro
phylactic come down with tetanus,
but this would not prevent you from
taking It yourself or having it given
members of your family. From this
I gather that there Is some risk of
tetanus when one receives the typhoid
prophylactic , , , Q. I O.
Answer No, you confused what I
said about typhoid bacterln with
what I said about vaccine. There Is
no danger Involved In receiving the
typhoid bacterln, and all who travel
much should have the protection It
confers. There Is a certain element
of danger involved In being vacci
nated against smallpox, for a vac
cine virus, unlike typhoid bacterln,
cannot be sterilized and hence acci
dental infections such as tetanus
(lockjaw) and septicemia (blood poi
soning) are occasionally inoculated In
vaccine.

and said.
"O, he can't cage so wild a thing."
How could they know In their prim,
staid way
That to sleep on a grassy knoll
And glimpse one's face In a limpid

Can grow wings on a nomad's soul.
Staunchly she tried to learn their

Of calm content until
She saw the fluttering new white

Of a wild plum tree on the hill.
And on the day that a taunting breeze
Brought the scent of the greening

Her husband foraged his evening meal
And the ashes littered the hearth.
The dust grew thick on floor and

And the kettle ceased to sing
While the neighbors whispered:
"Blood will tell."
