V NORTHWKSTKRN UVK STOCK
CAMPAIGN
The fact that it is one thing to
tell the farmers of the country
whr.t thev should do and quite an
• ther thing to show them how to
i'o it seems to have appealed to
the business sagacity of James J.
Hill, who follows up many other
plans for the development of the
territory served by his railroad
system with a project Tor the devel
opment of live stock raising through
>>ut the Northwest. It was announc
ed in St. Paul, Minn., a few days
..no that university professors had
'itrn engaged by Mr. Hill to carry
< i: the campaign of education nec
essary to the success of his lat
est enterprise. Howard R. Smith,
professor of animal husbandry of
the University of Minnesota, and au
thor of a book on profitable stock
feeding, has resigned his chair to
direct the work, and began his du
ties on March 1. It is understood
ihat the campaign planned by Mr.
Hill will continue for one year, and
■ hat it is going to be "exhaustive
.it character and territory."
The general plan is that IVofes
•>r Smith and his staff shall bo;;in
i\v talking to groups of farmers and
hankers, and explaiu at once how 10
raise stock and how to finance ia
.lividual enterprises in stock raising.
Th- whole project will involve a
■ lose relationship between farmer
;:nd banker, for it is seen by its
sponsor that, in order to lau:ich
anything like a comprehensive
scheme of cattle raising, farmers
miiri Ik- provide*! with working capi
tal. or with loans that will carry
r' em until they cau c;:rry themselves.
Tlie Firs' National Bank of St.
I'aisl, indeed, is to be headquarters
• i the movement.
For the general public tue unuer
t.ikiug is one very likely to prove
of great importance. There is
'•oust;.at dispute between the pack
er and the consumer will: regard to
: lie iause or high prices for meats.
The packer claims tiiat the supply
's shcrt: the consumer, without ex
!!■ t knowledge of the facts, refuses
'i> recognize the claim, or allcws it
eluctuutly. This dispute has b?en
■roing on for years; in the meantime
uie-it prices have been steadily ad
vancing. and sales on the hoof in
' "licago, Kansas City, St. Joseph,
»in;'ha, Sioux Citv and other points
:>**rio<lically support the packers'
•intention that meat i.-> high because
it i< scarce.
Nobody, we think, will question
'.\e business acumen of the man be
hind the present project. I'nless
t appeared practicable to him, it is
"easonable to presume, he would
i ot touch it at all. Assuming it
'o be practicable. It should, in a
few y«\trr, augument immensely the
«.:ttle supply cf vhe country, with
'he additional advantage that, hav
ing b»-e'i established on a sound
business basis, its result will be
>ermaneut.—Ex.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a AVeJl
Karned Reputation.
For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney" Pills, and
read about the good work the/
have done. "What other remedy ev
er produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthony Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, Wash., says:
"I had lameness across my kidneys
and headaches and dizzy spells. I
suffered from a constant backache
when on ray feet. I tried everythin,
but got nothing that would remove
tl e trouble, until Doan's Kidney Pill
were recommended to me. They
quickly strengthened my back and
removed the lameness. I was soon
able to sleep well at night and got
up in the mcining feeling refresh
ed, instead of being more tired
when I went to bed."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
sLnvlv ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Miller had. F03ter-Miiburn

Latin America
In Need o( Finan

BylOHN BARRETT, Director General

HE problem of the hour in
Latin America is credit?.
This is not due to the fact
j that Latin America is inherently
j poor, for Latin America is iuher

IT FROM KECriVIXO LARGE
SUMS OK MONEY OWED IT BY
EUROPE FOR RAW PRODUCTS.
Another most important phase of
the situation is that all Latin
America needs the capital of the
United States just as much as it
does its products in order to go
ahead. Perhaps it would be no
exnggernt'on to say that the great
er portion of Lai in America today
is much more in need of our money
than it is of our merchandise.
IF THE INVESTMENT AND Fl
NANCIAL INTERESTS OF THE
UNITED STATES WOULD LOAN
DURING T-iE NEXT VEAR FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO
LATIN AMERICA IT WOULD MAKE
A DIFFERENCE INSIDE OF FIVE
YEARS OF ONE BILLION FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN

Defective Vision Often
Responsible For
Dull Child
By Proiessur M. V. O'SHEA, Depart
ment of Education, University
i f Wisconsin
WE ALWAYS HAVE THE DULL
CHILD WITH US. EVERY
PARENT KNOWS THAT
EVEN THE NATURALLY BRIGHT
CHILD APPEARS SOMETIMES TO
j BE DULL. AND THEN THERE IS
THE CHILD WHO IS CLEARLY BE
HIND OTHERS OF HIS AGE. HE
DOES NOT GET ON WELL IN
SCHOOL. FOR ONE THING. HE
MAY FALL A YEAR OR TWO BE
HIND HIS PROPER GRADE. AND
WHEN THIS HAPPENS HE BE
COMES A SOURCE OF TROUBLE
TO EVERY ONE. HIMSELF IN
CLUDED.
Men who hare been investigating
this matter of dullness have recent
ly called attention to certain phys
ical defects found in many children,
all of which seriously handicap
them in their mental work. The
first is DEFECT IVE VISION. At
least forty-five per cent of all chil
dren over the age of five have de
fective eyesight to such an extent
that if it is not corrected they will
be PRACTICALLY CERTAIN TO
DKOI' BEHIND IN TIIEIR
SCHOOL WORK. The larger part
of school work today depends upon
clear, accurate vision. When this is
not possible the pupil is certain to
make all sorts of mistakes, and he
cannot get things as quickly a3 his
fellows who have normal eyesight.
Further, every defect of eyesight, if
not corrected, means a WASTE OF
flEBYMJS ENERGY.
