OUR HEALTH ARMY
Fort Worth Star- Telegram: The
ical service of a great life in-
company estimates at a mil-
and a half the number of persons
engaged, directly and indirectly,
. caring for the sick and preventing
in the United States. The list
es 161,000 physicians, dentists,
iaths, nurses, chiropractors,
paths and healers of various
pharmacists, drug clerks, lab-
oratory and clerical assistants, hos-
pital workers, and medical social
werkers.
The ratio of trained nurses to the
population has increased from 16 per
100.000 in 1900 to 140 in 1930, an in-
crease of 1,400 per cent in 30 years.
Dentists have increased from 30,000
In 1900 to more than 70,000 in 1930.
Denal assistants and attendants now
number more than 14,000 with 20,000
others engaged as technicians and in
other occupations serving dentists.
Nearly 600,000 persons are en-
gaged in hospital service and in oth-
er associated service. More than 200,-
©00 are engaged in compounding and
dispensing medicines.
In contrast to the increases in per-
sonnel of all other classifications, the
number of physicians and surgeons
in the country has steadily declined.
JOO there were 173 physicians per
100.000 population; 164 in 1910; 137
in 1920, and 125 in 1930. This decline
is attributed to a stiffening of the
- qualifications demanded before a li-
cense to practice medicine is granted.
Opinion agrees that while the number
of physicians in the country is per-
haps adequate, the tendency of doc-
: tors to congregate in the larger urban
j centers, which in many instances are
over stuffed, leaves many rural areas

THE OTHER SIDE OF
PICTURE
THE
THE WISE GUY
"Hammond (Ind.) Times: You know
the jay-walker—in fact, you have
probably burned your tires at one
time or another in avoiding him. He
crosses the street whenever and how-
ever he pleases. He takes intersec-
tions on a diagonal. He’s never content
to follow the regular path. He thinks
he’s saving time. But is he? The
dodging, jumping and backing use up
more time than it would have taken
to follow the regular path. And he is
taking a needless risk.
Mr. Jay-Walker has a brother—the
jay-buyer. Although not a product of
the depression, his numbers have in-
creased many fold since the country
lost the formula for Sanforizing the
family income. Today his numbers
are legion.
The jay-buyer knows a way to buy
things cheaper. He knows a way to
buy radios at half price, of a small
mail-order house that will sell to him
at wholesale prices. His favorite pas-
time is telling his friends what suck-
ers they are and how much money
he could have saved them had they
only come to him before furnishing
their new home or buying a car.
He thinks he is saving money, but
somehow or other he just cannot
make his income go as far as his ac-
ting from an undersupply of phy- quaintances who read the advertise-
ments and buy standard goods from

While Soviet propagandists , in this
country are telling us that everything
is lovely in Russia, and that the Rus-
sians have solved all the economic
problems which are still vexing us,
thus making a case for Communism,
it might he well to take a look at the
other side of the picture. There is an-
other side, we may be sure, and the
Communists are doing all in their
power to hide it.
The Intourist Bureau, a Soviet or-
ganization, conducts a tour of the
Soviet Union each year, and foreign
tourists are taken to all.the interest-
ing spots, where the Communist plan
is working, but are carefully steered
away from the spots where it has
wrought havoc. Sometimes, however,
a tourist breaks away from his guides
and does a little investigating on his
own hook. When he does, he finds out
things that are not written in the
itineraries.
Such a tourist was Thomas Walker,
American journalist, who has made
several tours of the Soviet Union. Re-
cently, while on a trip through the
Ukraine district, where the Soviet
collective farming experiment is be-
ing carried out, he left the tourist
group and traveled alone through this
section, talking to the farmers, taking
pictures of the things he saw. What
he learned was astounding. The pic-
tures which he took were smuggled
out of Russia, as the Soviet officials
will not allow any photograph derog-
atory to their government to leave
thp country. But Walker threw away
his camera and hid these films in
his inner pockets.
He found out, among other things,
that 6,000,000 peasants have died of
starvation in the Ukraine district in
the past eighteen months, because the
Soviet government had confiscated
their grain. He learned that millions
of horses have perished. He saw
women and children walking about the
farms, picking up grains of wheat in
the manner of barnyard fowls. He de-
scribes an incident which took place
on one of these farms:
“A father and son had been busy
picking up these grains of wheat
when apparently the father came too
close to the prohibited territory
to suit a Red soldier, and was
promptly shot in the back by a guard
without warning and left to die where
he fell.
“Both father and son were employed
on this farm at the time of the mur-
der, and were picking up wheat to
augment their daily supply of one
pound of bread which they received
for their labor.
“Nether had received any salary,
the boy stated, and he had not tasted
any meat in many months.
“In a wagon partially loaded with
hay I came upon a peasant who ap-
parently had been dead for many
days. Other workers told me that this
peasant had died of starvation—died
of starvation on a farm that produced
hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat yearly!”
Such incidents are not mentioned
by Soviet apologists, who tell us that
the “Russians take wondedrful care
of their chldren,” end that there is no
forced labor in Russia. A good prop-
agandist know just how much to tell
and how much to cover up.—Denison
Herald.
Quality cucumber pickles have
their beginnings at planting time ac-
cording to Mrs. Lee Foley who, to-
gether with ten other demonstrators
in Bee County, has set out to serve
her family table with the best.
• * »
A special pickling variety of cu-
cumbers has been planted; pure food
regulations in regard to sanitation,
handling, packaging and labeling are
being studied and will be observed;
and samples of pickles will be submit-
ted to Extension home industries
specialists for approval.
' * * •
After the ten families have been
supplied with quality pickles any sur-
plus that is left over will be sold.
Working with these ten demonstra-
tors every home demonstration club
woman in Bee county has a goal of at
least two gallons of cucumbers.
* * *
Dallas county women are at it too.
Mrs. L. E. Orton, pickle demonstra-
tor for the Irving Home Demonstra-
tion club, has as her aim brining at
least 50 gallons of cucumbers to be
worked up later into good pickles.
• • »
Mrs. Orton and the other club
women who are working with her are
being mindful that not only the right
variety of cucumber is important, but
that soil preparation and cultivation
have a lot to do with the yield. So,
loamy land, well fertilized each year
with barn-yard manure, is in demand
with these gardeners.
• * *
Also they have it in mind that the
roots of cucumbers lie close to the sur-
face and if they are disturbed in cul-
tivation knotty, crooked cucumbers
will be the resul. Any hoeing that is
to be done is due to be gentle.

To prune or not to prune? is the
question that vexes tomato growers.
Whether it is better to pinch the eag-

earliness of the fruit, or let them
grow and lose this advantage. Ros-

He says also stake tomato plants
in the region of generous rainfall. In
region of limited rainfall staking is
not necessary since it is done to in-
sure that the fruit does not rest on
the ground and become blemished.

WHY WORRY; ONLY
30,000 ACRES LOST
McAllen, Texas, May 5.—It was just
a matter of 30,000 acres the manager
of the Kenedy ranch was losing, but
he didn’t get excited.
E. M. Card, civil engineer, who was
running lines preparatory to dividing-
the 1,400,000 acre King Ranch, dis-
covered that the fences of the neigh-
boring Kenedy ranch included more
than 30,000 acres belonging to the
King estate. The error was called to
the attention of the Kenedy ranch
owner.
“All right, let’s move the fence,”
he said.
The King ranch is believed to be
the largest ranch in the world and
the Kenedy ranch is now cow pasture.

OUR WINDOW FOR ADDED VALUES
Application of scientlc principles
and general modernization of the
chicken stealing ethics has revived
and revolutionized the business which
for many years was principally stim-
ulated by a colored palate stronger
than a conscience, according to Wich-
ita Falls experts in the line.
In the old days it was a hit or miss
proposition and the high frequency of
buckshot in the first alternative led
purloiners of the poultry to seek- new
methods.
Clay County experts took the lead
and with acuate understanding of the
problem, devised a plan which befud-
dled the object of the snatch and left
the farmer, whose trigger finger
itched at the sound of a cackle, sleep-
ing peacefully while the meat des-
tined for his icebox was quietly taken
away.
-The plan included the use of ether
in a spray gun. Officers in Clay Coun-
ty and Wichita County recently re-
vealed the plan which involved put-
ting the chickens to sleep.
Frequent schemes to avoid the
alarming cackle of stolen hens have
been hit upon, but it is believed that
the ether system is absolutely of re-
cent orgin in the field.
The chicken snatcher steals under
the dark skies of night to the hen
house. Quietly he sprays in the man-
ner of a honest person murdering
flies. In a few seconds the chickens
are slumbering peacefully.
The only hitch in the system is
that the chickens usually die and un-
less the thief liquidates in a hurry he
has but a mass of inanimate flesh and
feather for his trouble.
According to sundry dusky citizens,
who seem to disdain the modern
method as unsporting, the best meth-
od is to stick a warm stick on a cold
night into the henhouse and the birds
will obligingly step upon it and so
