Looking For a "Goat" In ancient times when IHIIIIIIII misbehavior 01- short siglitctlnoHK brought down upon the people the inevitable penalties of such short comings, it wits custom to erect an altar anil sacrifice upon it gout in tho hope of thus appeasing the wrath of the mysterious powers controlling the destinies of men. In some circles the offering of a dumb brute in' atonement for human misdeeds jsesfncd inadequate, and the practice developed of choosing by lot or otherwise somq man or woman to play the unpleasant role of goat. According to the' best available records, that seemed.reasonable and sat- jsfactory to everybody, always excepting, it is to be presumed, the unfortunate "At all events, human nature being little lo change, the good old custom still prevails.

We do imt burn our "goats" on alUtrs, but we still seek 'vicarious atonement through l)e physically or other- vise, persons no more responsible clyes, fo.r from which go wrong, 'particular person or institution must be singled out to be blamed. Poor Mr. Hoover, having been elected president of the United States because of his self-confessed ability to make prosperity permanent, is the natural goat of prosperity's collapse, and unless signs fail will be driven office when his term ends. He richly deserves what is coming to him, but lie is no more responsible for the present depression lhan he would have been for prosperity had it continued, and lo load the blame onto him is merely to dodge the issue and to postpone solution of the problem. Similarly with respect to the current difficulties of the cotton and wheat industries in this country.

It has been plain as the nose on your face for some years that American cotton and wheat growers had their choice between meeting foreign production costs and cutting their production to lit the American market. They have done neither, and Ihe fix they arc in has sent them hunting for a goat. The cotton shippers are trying to sick them onto the farm board, the co-op enthusiasts say the speculators have caused the trouble, and everybody agrees that something ought to bo done about Soviet Russia. In the meanwhile, and pending such time as he may be able to make some greater contribution toward a sane solution of the difficulties vexing the nation, Hie wise citizen will devote his attention, to Im own affairs, to the end that they may be in such shape as to carry him through even with Hoover in the White House and the Bolsheviks growing cotton for five cents a pound. If he is a farmer he will put his trust neither in the farm board, the cotton shippers, nor the Ked Cross, but will make his land provide him a living.

If ho is a laboring man, clerk, storekeeper, professional man, or whatever his method of earning a livelihood, he will do his job the best way he knows how, and spend no more than he earns, making provision in good times for the bad times that always come, And then maybe it won't make such a whale of a difference who is in the White House or who IK trying lo make economic laws run backward. Rebuild the Smokehouse The smokehouse- was an essential adjunct ot the old country home. It. was named "smokehouse" because hums, bacon, sausage and hog Jowls svcre smoked within Its walls. But it was far marc than smokehouse.

It was the chief storage place lor food supplies In Kcneral. Barrels ol Hour, 'iacks of meal, cans ol lard, dried fruit, beans, peas, honey, preserves, imd many other things were kept In the, smoKe- houses. It was tho fixed iralicy of the well-ordered family to produce nl home the general food supplies for the family. In the (all these sup- lilies were put awiiy tor the winter. With an abundance of "Imnrt-plckcd" food In the smokehouse for the family, and corn in the crib and hay in the barn lor the slock, in truth the family was Independent, it, was independent because It was In position to take care ot Itself.

It wasn't necessary for members of the family to worry nbout their living. They imd the highest type of unemployment insurance. By their Industry and frugality and foresight they insured themselves by making provision lor the future. It was a slcp backward when Southern farmers abandoned the smokehouse and resorted to living from cans, bought at the store. This change added 'heavy burden of cost to the fnriner and introduced a very common, unprofitable, lazy wny ot living.

The farmer who docs not make his living at home today in all probability Is going lo fail. Every farmer may restore the smokehouse if he wants It, and may make and enjoy a good living at home If he and his family have the Industry and the brains and the character to measure up to the obligations and responsibilities of the fmnlly in the country under present-day conditions.

BY RODNEY DUTCHEH NEA Sen-ice Writer WASHINGTON, April' The earthquake struck Nicaragua as she was striving to rehabilitate herself after years of unrest and revolt, engaging in a. struggle rendered liH the mors bitter by the recent world-wide depression which ijrlpjK'd her principal industries. Anyone.who has traveled through Latin America, where national affairs, national life and national developments are nearly always prl- matlly' concentrated In national capitals, realizes the likely eifer; on the entire republic of the disaster which befell Managua. Proportionately, the calamity Is so "great when recalls-that Nicaragua's population of 039.000 is not CQiinl to that of various 'American cities. And that Managua is nol as large as 'many of our cities of which Ihe average American hardly ever has heard.

U. S. Ran Election But the little Central American republic lias been very large in our foreign affairs. American marines have been in Managua often and for longer periods than in any other foreign capital. This country stopped Nicaragua's last revolution and enforced the "free and fair elcclion" which gave her the government which Instituted her recent program of national reconstruction.

We maintained the stability of the government and gave our blessing lo the program. Now, after the sudden double affliction of earthquake and fire is the United States which has rushed to the rescue. And still look to Nicaragua as the country thru which wn probably some day will build another canal from the Atlantic lo the Pacific. More than a century of recurrent disorder preceded Nicaragua's last three years cf comparative peace and progress. Warfare was both internal and external.

There are several sinuses, each of which must be studied individually by the physician in order to determine the extent and nature of the infection.

Such study involves a thorough examination through the nose cf the openings of the sinuses into the nose, washing of the sinuses to obtain the discharge, traiiEillumina- tion in a dark which indicates whether or not the sinuses arc clear, and the use ol the x-ray which indicates whether or nol there is thickening of the walls of the sinuses or any amount of material present in the cavity.
