They say that October will bring relief from the infantile paralysis epidemic over the country, another reason why we ought to be grateful. Vandtgrifft will have to try his oil well rejuvena or out on the Marion county political field. If it works there it will be a dandy and ought to sell anywhere. Statistics show that three times as' many men as women die of pneumonia and that women only wear onethird as much clothing as the male specie. Now figure that out. The fact that the women in a him dred years from now may not be as beautiful as they are now may worry that eastern professor but it don’t worry us. We have other problems. The list of dead and injured continues to grow in the St. Louis region where a tornado Zlid twenty million dollars worth of damage Wednesday afternoon. Its a late season storm but this has been a rather unusual year all through. If we had just known what was in store for the Erie railroad under the Van Swearingen brothers we could all have been rich. A few years ago this stock was quoted at seven dollars a share. Yesterday it reached a new high point on the market when it sold readily for sixty-seven dollars. Chairman Earl Peters is right in taking a decisive stand when Mr. Gilliom or any one else accuses the democratic party of not having taken a position on the question of supergovernment. They did take a stand and tlie republicans took the offices. Now they want to pass the buck. They have given Fred Palm up at Lansing, Michigan, about the only real cure for the bootlegging habit. In that state illegal possession of in-., toxicat.ing liquor is a felony and another law makes one an habitual criminal after he has been convicted four times for a felony. Palm was arrested the other day with a half pint of gin in his pocket, convicted the fourth time and sent to prison for life. And then they have the crust to talk about Indiana's blue laws. That grand jury at Indianapolis deserves several chromos for the work they have done and are trying to do. When a state once becomes emeshed in the clutches of a political machine like the one that evidently has existed there for several years it requires courage, ability and a lot of work to unscramble it, but thats what Prosecutor Kemy and his assistants are doing. Virgil Vandagrifft, president of the Indiana board of public works has been indicted for selling stock in an oil well rejuvenator company. The Gary school student’s strike is over, a relief to every one there as well as over the for it was feared it might grow to a race war and add another disgrace u> the already. long list in Indiana. The students feel they have won a victory and celebrated with a pradae of the 1,500 who refused to attend school until the colored students were re- ! moved. A new school is to be erecti

| ed at once to house the colored high school students and for ninety days they will be Instructed at Emerson in separate classW. The grandmothers who smoked stone pipes, used long green tobacco 1 cured In th u corner, never cleaned the stem of their pipes other than to run a broom straw through them, managed, somehow, to raise some exceptionally fine babies that developed into useful citizens. More than that bottles were not near so common then as now but tobacco contained as much nicotine then as now. The babies of today will probably get along even If mom does hit a cigarette now and then. —Shelbyville Republican.

Babe Ruth did it. He slammed out his sixtieth home run' yesterday, breaking his former record of fiftynine and setting up a new target for , the boys to shoot at. It will be quite some time before any body Ruth's , age comes near that mark unless its . the Babe himself next year. Two or three years ago he “blew up” and was ill for weeks. After the season he began training and came back last year almost as good as ever. Then ! he didn’t let down again but kept in condition and came back this year ! better than ever. He will be the biggest drawing card of the world series and will attract more dollars into the box office than wifi any other member of either team.

HOLDING MEETING 1 ——-. * 942 Gardiner Street, i Popular Bluff, Mo. i Editor Democrat, Sept. 27, 1927. , Decatur, Indiana. I am not engaged in a protracted effort in this city of a wonderful cyclone experience. The city claims a population of approximately 12,000, its population is principally on the Bluff side of the Black river, a stream about the size of St. Mary’s. Well as stated above, a most furious cyclone as ever known gathered somewhere to the west of the city on May 9th and came sweeping down upon the city as if in a fury and laid waste to 36 blocks of the main business district and dwellings of the city, carrying a direct death toll of 125 persons. Os course they are building up nicer and better, but a stranger can yet see many marks of the great havoc that the storm played, for instance a few places have been pointed out to me where once a large brick building stood which are laid waste just pell mell fashion. Out of the ruins of one were taken 19 dead and the other 16 and its even yet a sad picture to look upon and contemplate. I want to say to my friends that I am enjoying my work immensely. However the first two weeks in September while I was holding forth at a little village called Farrington, about 65 miles east, it was so hot in day time that I had to hunt the coolest place and then it was most uncomfortable for a northerner, yet the nights were cool enough to get a good rest. This little village was about 7. miles from the Mississippi and yet] the river broke all levees »o the people could row a boat in the streets of this little place. I now have a first-hand knowledge of what the flood meant to these people. Surely most of them are a grateful people for the relief that the people of the north gave most all in this community got money through the Red Cross to ‘ide them over. This would*surely be » fine country for northern energy. The great drawback in New Madrid county is the greater part is owned by just two or three men the part I was in for miles and miles is nearly all owned by a Mr. Hunter and therefore there are comparatively fewrenters and they don’t know from one year to another whether they can stay as he only rents a year at a time. Now these people could not do anything in the way of getting corn or cotton out till after the first of June and I seen lots of good corn as you would look in to a field you would see just lots of stalks that had two big ears on. Cotton of course the writer never saw before but it sure is a beautiful sight to see a field of cotton that has been well cultivaied and kept clean. Cotton begins to bloom and bud from the bottom up; the field I was In was ridged up about like we ridge sweet potatoes at home and took me close to the shoulders tn height and by the time the bloom come out at the top some of the bot-tom-buds are ready to open and show the cotton. They say it takes about from 25 to 30 days for cotton to mature from the time it blooms. So if you care you can give this item to my friends throught the Democrat. * Eld. J. L.

FARM SPECIAL TO VISIT CITI OCT. 5 Agricultural Demonstration Train On Erie To Spend Entire Day Here The real value of an agricultural demonstration train lies in its permanent effect on the territory. That the Better Bull Special, operated by the Erie Railroad in northern Indiana in 1924, helped to put the dairy indusI try of that section on a more stable and profitable foundation is evidenced by the general increase in the num her of pure bred cattle and the con sequence increase in milk and butterfat production. Another opportunity for the further development of the dairy herds of this section is to be afforded when anothet Erie Railroad dairy demonstration train visits Decatur on Wednesday. I October 5, for an all day stop. In addition to a very fine selection of dairy bulls, this train will also feature the growing of leguminous crops (alfalfa and clover) to bring about an improvement in the feeding of dairy catle. Specialists from Purdue University will discuss this topic, anc an exhibit car will contain special ex hibits on this very important phase ot dairying. There will also be a car of exhibits from the Bureau of Dairy Industry oi the U. S. Department of Agriculture These exhibits will feature greater pro fits from well-fed high producing cows from pure, bred sires. Good pastures properly cared for furnish cheap feed and succulent feed in winter helps milk production. Protein feed? and mineral matter in rations are necessary for best results. Sanitation in milking and care of utensils is necessary to have clean milk. Milk should be cooled quickly and kept cool. Testing the milk and keeping records on cost of feeding and milk production en ables the farmer to cull out poor producers. The local committees are very anxious to make the stop of this train a success, and extend to everyone a cordial invitation to visit the special, which will remain on siding at the Erie station from 9:30 A. M. to 9:30 o'clock P. M.

HOW THE BEES MAKE HONEY C. O. Yost, State Apiary Inspector, Gives Interesting Account Os Process By C. O. Yost. State Apiary Inspector About two days after the worker bees emerge from their cells they start to work in earnest. They act as nurse bees caring for and feeding I the young larvae. This concentrated, larvae food is made from pollen and honey and is secreted by certain glands tn the head of the young worker bee. They clean out and polish the cells before the eggs are laid. The young workers also act as comb builders. There are four pairs of wax glands ■>n the under side of the abdomen of the worker bee. The honey is taken into the bee's stomach where it passes through certain processes of I digestion. Special glands change a I part of the honey into liquid wax. This liquid wax passes through three I tiny openings in the wax glands and I upon coming in contact with the outside air, the wax hardens into a tiny white scale between the segments of the body. The bees remove these by I means of little sharp bristles on the | legs and carry them forward to tho . mouth whore they are worked ovef. Then the wax is used in building of i the six-sided cells which are more perfect in construction than the work nf the most careful engineer. Worker bees later go to the fields o gather nectar and pollen, the poll'll being Collected by the hairs covering the parts of the bee's body. Then it is transferred to “pollen baskets” on the third pair of legs, in these “pollen baskets" it is carried to the hive. Nectar from the flowers is drawen by suction through a very specalized tongue and then stored in a -ac known as "honey-stomach.” The icctar is later transferred to the wax :ells. Here the bee manipulates it n such a manner that excess moisure is driven off and certain secreions added to it, converting it into

honey. After the honey is ripened by circulating currents of warm nir, each individual cell, which with* the the bees place a capping ot wax over thickness ,of woll-rtpcned honey, keeps the honey from fermenting. The worker bees also act as guards i In the hive. How t well they perform I this tusk some of us know. The stings which sometimes cause many of us trouble and much pain, are purely employment by the bees of 1 his protective apparatus. Bees would be robbed of their food and soon' cease to exist if they did not have a stinger and know how to use it vigI oroufly. The stinger is located at I the rear end ot the worker bee’s ab-
