"A SAFE AND SANE
CELEBRATION

AS July rapidly approaches, plans in
different cities and villages will be LAID
fer the celebration of our glorious
Fourth of July.
Who of us grown up men folks has
not some physical scar as reminder of
the needless risks taken some year
gone by in trying to make satisfactory
noise for the expression Of our patriot
ism? If the passage of years has worn
away the physical scar, is there not
some niche in memory that still re-
aims col c,.'n OF the snlarting
burns, broken leg, mashed finger, or
some other pain or scar that the brain
fag of the years has been unable to OBJ.
literate?
In the announcements of one daily
paper there is call for committee
meeting For safe and sane Fourth
without the usual torpedo, fire cracker
and toy pistol, with blinded eyes, pow
der pocked face and skin peeled fingers,
and to offer instead to the young PEG
pie a day of pleasure that will prove
worthy substitute.
Few people realize the number of fat
al and fearful accidents which are the
results of the celebration of Independ-
ence Day. Last year campaign was
made for saner method of showing
our patriotism and the following table.
which shows the accidents caused by
the celebration of the Fourth during
the past eight years, will serve the
double purpose OF astonishing the read
er and proving that the campaign for
the safe and saner methods was in a
measure successful, because of the rel
atively small number of accidents
which occurred on the Fourth of July
in 1910.

The Range Between Liquid Heiium

A moments thought of some of these
higher and lower temperatures is we'll

liquid helium at 451 below zero is the

DO YOU LIKE STATISTICS
as to Keep You From Going
to Sleep?

Here are a few statistics for you.
Everyone likes statistics IL they are
not presented in a dry form, and
these are not dry.
We have land acreage of 1900
million acres, of which probably $50
million acres are in farms, improved
and unimproved, $50 million acres
in desert, barren and grazing lands,
and 600 million acres, more or less
covered with forests. We have less
than 6 per cent of the worlds area
and but little more than per cent
Of its population, yet we produce
more than one-third of the world s
output of coal, three-fourths Of it's
corn-crop, two-fifths of its pig iron
and 20 per cent of it's wheat crop.
The equivalent of SO billion board
feet of timber products, exclusive of
fire wood are taken from our forests
every year. Our total farm products
approximate an annual value of 3
billion dollars and our manufactured
products an annual value of 26 bill
lion dollars.
In 1910 there were but SIS cabs.
carriages and chaises in New York
City. Today our factories turn out
annually more than 100000 family
and pleasure carriages.
Doesn't this record read like a
fairy tale, but the cost has been ter
rifle. Half of the coal is left in the
mine; half the tree never reaches the
form of lumber; billion cubic feet
of gas, with heating value equal to
10000 tons of coal, is wasted daily.
Twice the quantity of material that
will be excavated from the Panama
canal is eroded from our soils and
goes down the Mississippi every year.
Here are the problems for the
present gentratiOn to solve:
How are we to conserve our ma
tural resources and to increase the
yields of our fields so that produc-
ton will keep up with consump-
tom"
The Grain Dealers National Asso-
citation, which is one Of the most pro-
gressive organizations in the country,
has tackled these problems. 1t is
not so much interested in the con-
servation of the forests and mines of
the United States as it is in the soil.
The National Conservation Commits
sion, appointed by President Roose-
welt, is quite capable of looking after
the forests and streams of the coun-
try, but the Grain Dealers National
Association, which holds it's annual
convention at Omaha Oct. 8, 10 and
IL next, is vitality concerned about
the grain growing possibilities of
the future.
The organization has lifted the
grain trade to a high plane. 1t has
abolished nearly all the abuses of the
business and now it is entering wider
fields of activity. 1t wants to assist
in the great work of making the arid
regions of the west and the swamp
lands of the south blossom as the
rose and add millions of bushels of
grain to the countrys supply.
About 1000 delegates will attend
the convention from all over the
country. They will be addressed by
some Of the most prominent political
and educational leaders in the United
States while several officials from the
department of agriculture will tell
the delegates what Uncle Sam is do
ing to increase the yields of grain
by irrigation, by teaching dry farm
ing and by showing the farmers the
value of planting good seed.
