The shortage began to be evident

MORE FOOT TROUBLES.
Bunions. Bullions generally de
velop on the big tot lid rf the ball
of the foot. The common notion is
that a bunion is corn and in a cer
tain limited sense it is.
The cause is intermittent pressure
and friction. The comparatively un
yielding leather is pressing against
the hard bone of the lull ot the foot
and the skin is caught between. To
protect the underlying bone, or it may
be only became it is irritated, hec
tored, and pressed upon at every step,
tne skin thickens up.
If the thickening is enoush nron-
tjAf to protect the bone, we have a
urn and that is all. If the head of
tlie bone is not protected properly,
it begin to thicken up, just as the
skin did before it. and the conse
quence is a com on the bone, in this
instance called a bunion.
Practically speaking, this thicken
ing of the bone dors not occur so long
the bone lies in the proper posi
tion. It develops when the bone of
the big toe forms an angle at the ball
of the foot when the big toe instead
of pointing straight forward, points
over in the direction of the little toe.
Now-, anything which pushes the
front end of the big toe in the direc
tion of the little toe causer the other
end to push toward the leather of
the shoe we say it spreads the
bones of the ball of the foot.
Therefore, among the causes of
bunions are narrow-toed shoes and
fhort shoes. Just as important as
shoes in spreading the bones of the
ball are sesamoid bones, bony
the muscles, ligament and tendon.
The ankle and upper part of the foot
is made up of, say, 14 bones, and
tl.rie fit in very snugly against each
oiner.

' Jit? -I. - A t
The average value of the new con- ' .11 "tit lransvcrse
struction begun each year in these
cities from 1900 to 1916 wa about
$J1 for each person in the population,
according to the reports. The highest
average annual per capita expendi
ture wa that of Los Angeles, where
it was $64, and the lowest that of
Fall River, Mass., where it was only
$12. This wide range of expenditure
for new buildings was partly due, it
was stated, to the varying rates of
growth of cities and partly to the
great differences in the quality of
buildings erected. In general the
lowest average expenditures were
those of southern' cities or mill cities,
while the highest were found among
the western cities that have grown
rapidly.
Per Capita Increasing.
In general, the per capita expendi
ture for building was found to be in
creasing, even after full allowance had
been made for the changing cost of
building and the growth of the cities.
The report explained this as due to i
the rising standard of housing in
America. During the last quarter of
a century a new type of dwelling
house has come into existence in this
country, it was stated, much finer
.than any that had heretofore been
available for any except wealthy
persons.
' It has hardwood fVors, steam heat,
modern plumbing, electric lighting,
improved windows, and a completely
finished basement. These improve
ments are now being incorporated
even in houses occupied by people of
modest incomes. Similar changes
are taking place in business, indus
trial, and public structures, these im
provements, largely accounting for
rising expenditures.
Wheat Makes from Nine to
38 Bushels Near Upland
Upland. Neb., Julv 23. (Special.)
Threshing is in full swing now.
Wheat is fair in quality and is turn
ing out from nine to 34 bushels to
the acre.
Two fields of summer-follow
wheat were in the community. One
of near 60 acres has been threshed.
It made 34 buthels. Most of the
other wheat is making around 15
bushels.
Corn is in excellent, condition and
is just beginning to tassel. The
weather is very hot. Another good
rain or two within the next few
weeks will assure a bumper corn
crop. .Cherries and apricots have
been very plentiful heVe. Potatoes in
the home gardens have made a fair
crop, .,
Profits Large on Farmers
Union Elevator at Lorton
Lorton, Neb. Profits amounting
to 1.4 per cent on a volume of $59,
000 is the record of the Farmers
union elevator at this place in the
first half of 1922, the semi-annual
audit shows. This company has
total assets of $18,000, which have
been built up on an original stock
investment of $8,200. Additions to
reserves have been made regularly,
to take care of expansion and to
guard against emergencies. The
company, has never missed paying 8
per cent interest on stock. Not a
single stockholder has a share of
stock for sale, the officers of the
company say. '
First Load of 1922 Rye
Reaches Parker Market
Parker. S. D. C. F. Hornickle, a
farmer living eight miles west of
Parker, was the first to haul a load
of 1922 rye to the Parker market.
' His rye crop averaged 32 bushels
per acre and the load brought to
Parker was sold by him for 64 cents
per bushel. Other small grain crops
of this district are in good condition
and it is expected they will thresh
out well. Corn has been making
ripid progress and is expected to
be the biggest crop raised in the
Parker territory for some years.
Harvest and Haying Hands
Needed in South Dakota
Aberdeen, S. D. Figures supplied
by the county agents stationed
throughout the state to the head
quarters of the South Dakota Farm
Bureau federation show that 3.105
harvest and haying hands are needed
in the various, counties of the state.
The wages offered range from $175
per day in Lake county to $3.50 in
Brown county, the general average
being about $2.50 a day.
Remedy. To trim the corn from
the too of a bunion may give a little
temporary relief, but in the long run
the habit tends to increare the
thickening of trie bone.
Painting the bunion at intervals
with alcoholic iodine gives some
temporary relief. Wearing broad
toed, long shoes, with no other treat
ment, cures some cases.
Wearing pads between the toes in
a way to make each toe point for
ward will cure some cases. Bad
cases should be carefully X-rayed.
Operation to remove sesamoids and
bony spurs should be done. Perhaps
in some cases the more serious oper
ation for the removal of the enlarged
bone heads is justified.
Operation to draw together the
spread bones is done. Exercises to
build up the muscles of the feet will
cure some cases.
Weak Foot. The common name
for this disorder is fallen arches.
Other synonyms are broken arches
and painful feet. In weak feet, as a
result of any one of several causes,
an unusual strain is put on the
longitudinal arch, commonly called
the instep.
The strain may cause pressure on
the nerves of the foot and strain of
on-the pain may be felt in the back,
the upper legs, the calves, the foot,
or in several of the.e location.
Among the ciutei are walking with
the toe turned out, wearing improper
heel, wearing shoe with the sole
higher on the outside, wearing im
proper shoe as to weight, height of
heel and build, wearing arch sup
porters, joor oevicopmcnt oi mus
lies and poor muscle tone.
Of these, much the most important
is walking with the toe turned out.
Kemedy. Arch supports give tern
porary relief in tome rate, but. a
rule, in the long run they do more
harm than good.
Develop the muscles of the foot
and lower leg by walking pigeon
teed and by exercises, and by wear
ing shoes that are built right the
biels being neither too high, nor too
low.
Caveman? WelL What of It?
Mrs. J. M. C. writes:" I am writ
gest to what extent and in what form
discipline can be ued in the case of
an 8-months-old baby?
oaoy in piay insists on mauling
features and pulling the hair of the
person who is tending him.
"If his hands are slapped he laughs
and thinks it part of tbe game. Also
is very rough with nlavthinss.
"He is full of pen. eood natured and
active. But while folks sav to besnn
discipline in infancy, they are not
definite as to approximate age and as
to methods.
"Will you please advise?"
REPLY.
The discipline of a babv should be
gin at the beginning.
At 8 months it is about 8 months
too late.
But discipline should be based on
the child's behavior and not on the
parent s reaction.
You don't make out a good case in
your letter.
What's the harm to the kid in the
rough play described?
Operation for Stiff Knee.
Mrs. J. M. C. writes: I amw rit
ing to ask you if there is any hone of
a stiff knecjovit ever limbering up
any. ..
"I am 22. My knee has been stiff
three years. It was treated some by
osteopaths, but- it doesn't seem to im
prove much."
REPLY.
A skillful masseur might improve
matters somewhat, but in all prob
ability operation offers more than
does anything else.

The Mead Homemakers will meet
Tuesday afternoon, July 25, with
Mrs. William Egglcston. Election of
officers for next year will be held at
this time and chinaware and pottery
will be-discussed. If you have some
interesting pieces of old or new china
or pottery, bring them to the meet
ing. Two very interesting meetings
were held at Malmo and Prague last
week, discussing chinaware and pot
tery. - A number of the women
brought pieces of china and pottery
which were old and others the newer
American china. It was interesting
to hear the women giving the history
of the different pieces of china, and
comparing them with those of other
countries.
Now is a good time to look over
the county fair premium list and de
cide which kinds of fruits and vege
tables you will take to the fair. If
you are not thinking of fruits and
vegetables, then probably you have
some fancy work which you could
exhibit. A little' later you will want
to try making something for the pan
try stores department. The girls,
too, can enter products whether they
are club members or not. Get a pre
mium list and look it over carefully.

Farmers Advised to Find
Amount of Smut Losses
. Des Moines, la., July 23. Farm
ers of the state are urged to examine
thoroughly their oat harvest and post
themselves on the amount of smut
the crop contains and the estimated
loss in value for that reason by ag
ricultural experts. In many cases
the yield has been reduced 25 per
cent through smut, it is stated.
Nothing can be done to remedy the
loss at this time, they are told, but
with the first half of July pat and
with rain tempering the neat of the
plains to the south, enlv a catas
trophe can prevent the final days
of this month and August from

Co-0perative Company
Has Successful Year
Wcntworth. S. D. One of the
most successful co-operative icom
panics in South Dakota is the. Farm
ers Elevator company, which con
ducts an elevator in this city. Re
ports made at the annual meeting of
the stockholders show that during
the nast year the company received
22.232 bushels of barley. 191,000
bushels of wheat. 109,907 bushels of
oats, 136,412 bushels of corn, 7,780
bushels of flax, 1,036 bushels of rye.
In the neighborhood of $150,000 was
paid to farmers for grain and seeds.
The company also handles coal
and merchandise, the business in
which ran into bisr figures. The
reports show that during the year
the comoanv sold 138 tons of hard
and 462 tons of soft coal, 1,559 sacks
of flour, 640 sacks of mill feed.
.511 blocks of salt. 22.240 pounds of
binder twine. 160,000 feet of lumber,
addition -to various other goods.
The merchandise sold, amounted to
over $50,000.
The shipping association, which :
conducted as a part of the co-opera

and sheep for which the farmers
were paid an aggregate ot $8U,UUU.
Duck Raising Interests
Farmers of Nebraska
Lincoln. Neb., From the inquiries
received by the Nebraska, Agricul
tural college, the farmers are becom-
ng interested- in the breeding ot
ucks. Farmers in general do not
give ducks the attention they deserve.
What seems to be the most plausable
reason for this, is that the duck fa-
ored bv commercial duck growers is
not altogether satisfactory on general
farms, while the duck used by most
farmers would n ot under any cir
cumstances be profitable ducks to
grow. JJuck growing on larms
could prbbably be increased and made
in every way more satisfactory to
farmers by using large, quick grow
ing breeds and making duck. hatching

bring the ducklings out in June and
even in July, which will give them
ample time to obtain full size and
full-meated growth before winter sets
in.

A Changed Attitude.
To my disgust'l found myself not
only flushing at the rough praise the
girl had given me, but feeling a di
tinct reaction in her favor. Was I o
spineless, I asked myself indignantly,
that a word or two ot personal com
mendation would change my opinion
of a person?
1 answered honestly in the affirma
tive, for I began to feel not only a
distinct liking for this crude young
woman, but a desire to shield her
from the disillusionment which was
surely coming to her as a result of
her romantic interest in the pseudo
Don Ramon.
"My father is very experienced in
emergencies," I said, "and I am sure
your friend will have all necessary
attention. I will get my car out at
once and take him with me to the
physician's. It is really almost as
quick to go to his office as to try to
get him on the telpehone lrom out
in this section, for I might go to
three houses before I found any one
at home. Will you give me those
other addresses, please " I turned to
the pompous father.
He looked at me with such a meek
little expression on his face that it
gave me, and, I think, Lillian also, an
irresistible desire to laugh.
I am afraid it will be too much
trouble for vou to have the ohvsi-
cians here," he said deprecatingly.
"Who Is Don Ramon?"
Have a dozen doctors if you
like," I returned, and I think that
even through his thick epidermis
penetrated the amusement at his
pompous fussines which I could not
hide. 1 have been through life and
death experiences when there was
less fuss than this nun had wished
to make over an accident when none
of his family had been hurt.
I had noticed aUo that he had
nude no inquiry lor his chauffeur,
the only member of the party who
had suffered an injury, and I sup
pose my contemptuous resentment
for his heartless indifference showed
in my voice.
"Lood here, dud." Hi daughter,
who, 1 had guessed, ruled the fam
ily, spoke emphatically. "We'll be
home before Dr. Y. could get out
from New York to ec mums. And
it' all nonsense to have Dr. X. come
over here from Southampton. The
nearest physician can give us all the
once-over. He can tell us whether
mums is all right to go back home
which I am sure she will lr after
a little re.st and Mrs. Graham can
vend a garage man out to look at
the car, and telephone the house to
send another car for us when she's
out. We're putting you to an awtul
lot of trouble, Mrs. Graham."
There was real apology in her tone,
and I answered her warmly.
"Don't talk nonsense!" I said
smiling at her. "I am very glad to
be. able to help you. Is that address
ready?' (
I turned, a hit cavalierly. I am
afraid, to her father.
Er? Oh! Yes. yes," he said ner-
vously, whipping a richly-bound little
notebook from his pocket, tearing
out a leaf and hastily scribbling upon
it. "And if you'll kindly send out the
best garage man available."
I II do what I can, I replied
curtly.
Then I turned to Lillian.
"Will you tell Katie to bring up a
p'ot of strong tea and whatever else
you think necessary?" I asked.
"I'll see to it now," she said
promptly, walking with me to the
door, and when it was shut behind us
she grabbed me round the waist and
did a burlesqued dance-step.
Did you see (he old balloon col
lapse?" she wispered gleefuIM "I
have to slip it to you, old girl. ' You
certainly skewed him properly. Who
is this Don Ramon you are going to
escort to town? i That girl had a
romantic gleam in her eye when she
spoke of him. Perhaps I'd better
take a look at him to see whether it s
safe for you to go with him. Those
foreign devils are fascinating, you
know.
We had reached the staircase by
this time, and it took all of my com
posure to answer her raillery in simi
lar vein.
If she only knew the answer to her
idle question.

Weevil Destroys Grain
in Bin, Experts Declare
Ames, la.. Julv 23. A vast amount
of stored grain is ruined annually in
this country' by the grain weevil and
other similar insects. While the
grain weevil can be destroyed after it
has (rotten into grain stored in a
granary, it is better to do everything
possible' to keep the weevil out of the
bin, they say. Every granary should
be thoroughly cleaned before the
grain is put in. Dirt should be re
moved from every crack and crevice
not only on the floors but also in the
walls as well. A good disinfectant
is an ounce of sodium cyanide, two
fluid ounces of commercial sulphuric
acid and four fluid ounces of water
for every 100 cubic feet of space in
the granary. The poisonous gas lib
erated by this mixture will kill a
human in one breath, and is deadly
to insects.
Strawberry Beds Should Be
Prepared Now for Next Year
Adel, Ia July 23. The time to be
ein the renewal of the strawberry
beds for next year's crop is immedi
ately after the present crop is har
vested, according to C. V. Holsinger,
small fruit specialist of Iowa State
college. The best strawberries are
produced from young plants, he says,
and for this reason only enough
plants should be left on the plot to
provide sufficient runners for new
growth.
Before the plants are thinned out,
the tops should be mowed off, either
with a sickle ot a mowing machine.
Burning is recommended by Mr. Hol
singer if it can be done on a windy
day when the fire burns quickly.
Unless it burns rapidly the plants
will be injured.
The rows should be narrowed to
from 4 to 6 inches in width and
thinned out so that the plants stand
6 to 8 inches apart. The old plants
will put out runners and provide the
new plants for the berry production
of the coming year, tnese recom
mendations apply only to the com
mon varieties, and not to the ever
bearing species, Mr. Holsinger stated.

Do You Spend All You Make?
You never will have- any money
as long as your expenditures figure
up to your income.
Isn't it a fact, that when you con

thing or not, it is a matter with you
of figuring how many paydays before
you must balance the account?
If you can see it paid within a
given time and keep up living ex

Thousands of others are just as
slipshod in calculating their legiti

And then you, with the rest, won

which mean a rather large sum ls

You are one of the many thou

Are you a great big puff ball, of
no account under pressure with your
accounts, and the wherewithal to
pay them, measured by how fast you

Have more strength of character,
more resistance in your makeup, and
then you will save anyway and spend

volume in dollars and ce,nts was
somewhat smaller. Total turnover in
the period was $60,000, of which
$5,000 was coal and merchandise, and
the rest grain. Threshing is on and

Chicago Grain

Omaha Baa laatl Win.
Chicago, July 23. That export
buying of more than 5,000,000 bushels
of wheat last week without the as
sistance of general speculative buy
ing is not to be relied on in the face
of an increasing movement of the new
crop of wheat was demonstrated by
the market's action of the last few
days.
Export buying last week was the
best in several months. The market
was helped somewhat by higher
prices for spot and wheat futures in
Liverpool and by liberal covering
By FRANKLIN D. SPRAGUE
Ontnha Kr leased M ir.
New York. July 23.-While efforts
to bring about a settlement of the
coal strike and the railroad strike
were followed with close attention
last week, an interesting phase of the
situation lies not in the steps which
may be taken to end the difficulties,
but rather in the degree of injury
which has been brought upon the in
dustries of the country as a result
of the curtailment of coal production
and the partial tying up of transporta
tion.
Heretofore opinion was veered to
the belief that an early termination
of the troubles was to be expected
and the untoward circumstances
which have accrued week after week
have been somewhat overlooked. To
a certain degree a condition has been
brought about in industrial affairs
which it will take a considerable
period of time to rectify, even assum
ing that both strikes terminate
abruptly.
Fuel Shortage FJt
From such reports as coma to hand it
is shown that the pinch or a fuel snort
age is already being; experienced in many
avenues of manufacturing activity. This
probably does not mean that fuel sup
plies have been exhausted, but it dbea
indicate that heavy inroads have been
made on normal surplus atocks. and tha
reduction of theae stocks probubly fore
shadows a scaling down of operations for
Home time to come, even if coal produc
tion picks up and transportation for ruel
is ussured.
But it will be no easy matter to bring
coal production back to normal and there
is a serious doubt as to whether cars will
be available to transport coal in the
quantity that is needed to quickly re
vitalize industry.
M'all Street Optimistic.
Wall street has been optimistically in
clined all alons;. In fact, there has been
something of a dlsposltlan to itrnore tne
unfavorable situation which is being: cre
ated. However, last week irregularity
In the stock market testified to the fact
that Wail atreet'a opinion was undergo
ing; a change and that greater heed was
being paid to conditions affecting indus
try. There was no weakness of a pro
nounced character in stock prices, but
likewise there was no desire on the rjart
of traders to advance quotation by active
bidding for stocks.
The foreign situation has shown no
r renounced change for several days, fcnd
the foreign 'exchanges, awa-itili-; definite
developments, have moved rather aimless
ly. Much that Jias been sajd with re
gard to the reparations question and Ger
many's financial affairs has been of un
official character, and while it may in
dicate a trend of opinion, the entire- ques
tion remains, one of great doubt so far
as concrete proposals for an alleviation of
tne financial crista are concerned.
One rolnt Clear.
That which seems to be clear ia that
there will be allied control of Oerman
finances o that there may be some
definite basis arrived at fnr meeting
reparations demands when they fall due.
So far as a. remission of the English
debt to France was to have been the basis
for a reduction in reparations to
50.000,000,000 gold marks, it seems that
the proposal was without anv aovern-
mental sanction, and while it may be that
some development along thia line will
come about by a general remission of in
ter-allled debta, this subject as yet is In
a very hazy state.
However, if nothing else has been ac
complished, the discussion of ways and
means to tring a betterment in centrnl
Europe haa served the purpose of creating
a better1 sentiment regarding the outlook.
It Is probable this week will see more
tangible evidence of the moves which
are being made In international finance.
Our own investment market last week
gave further evidence of the accumulation
which is going on In high grade Issues.
