Washington, February 15..-Ilse Of "canned blood one of the remarkable developments of war surgery. was de- office for the benefit of the families of hundreds of soldiers whose lives were saved by blood transfusion.
 One of the heaviest causes of death aucng wounded soldiers is hemorrhage. at:a, the Cnited States er began organizing to reduce the number Of fatalities fir orh this cause, and large numbers of medical men were put in training under the direction of Col. Walter B. Cannon of Harvard uniyer- sity. It was early decided that meth possible. because of limited facilities for work at the front.
 Development of the use of canned blood" was a direct result of war con ditions. During a heavy attacN it vas impossible to arrange for transfusions direct from persons, so the fluid was drawn previously, stored on ice in sterile flasks, then used in emergency cases Where the wounded man could stand it, blood substitute was injected which sustained life until he could be removed to a hospital where more di- rect transmission could be employed
 By these methods. many men were returned to the families who in pre- vious wars would have lived but few hcurs,' the departments statement as- serted

 Right Inguinal Hernia With

Below is a picture of Eugene M. Pull len, a well-known carpenter of Manas- quan, New Jersey. If you could see him at his work, particularly when he handles heavy timber, jumps and climbs around like a youth, you would scarcely imagine that he had formerly been afflicted with rupture.

At an early age, Eugene Pullen was an express driver. He handled railroad baggage. One day after delivering a heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt a pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young man noticed the swelling.
 The doctor told young Pullen that he was ruptured and that he must either wear truss throughout life or submit to a drastic operation. All surgeons know that hernia operations, with anaesthetics, etc, are dangerous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is a well established fact that many rupture operations are not successful; the bowel soon breaks through the sewed-up opening and protrudes worse than ever. e Afraid of Operation
 x Like most others. MT. Pullen declined to take the risks of an operation: the s.expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hoping he might get a little better encouragement, he went to another physician, who to his sor- row gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that un- less the rupture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeons knife suc- cessfully used. he might expect an in- crease or doubling in the rupture with further complications, or the dreaded strangulated hernia which kills so many ruptured people.

The hard tasks of ordinary men were for bidden him. He became an insurance agent, in which position he did not need to do bodily work.

WORTH FIGHTING FOR

Just before the armistice was
signed it was costing the United
States about 50, 800, 600 day to carry
on the war. 1t was costing the allied
nations millions of dollars and thou
sands of lives for every few acres Of
devastated territory reclaimed from
German domination. yet the gains
made were considered we'll worth the
price. Peace has its victories as well
as war, and they are equally worth
fighting for and money expended in
gaining them is we'll invested
At a cost of sos per acre, over
100000 acres of semi-arid land IN
this state can be irrigated and made
highly productive. This land would
furnish homes and incomes for thou
sands of families. 1t would add mil
lions of dollars every year to the pro-
ducts of the state. 1t would materi-
ally increase the revenue from taxa
ton and thereby benefit all the tax
payers. 1t is a project which de-
serves statewide backing, because 1t
involves statewide benefits.
Competent engineers have investi-
gated the project and summarized
their findings as follows:
Construction cost-$79 per acre
Estimated additional cost of canal
and main lateral construction-$26
per acre for farm laterals and land
preparation, thus making a total de-
velopment cost of 500 per acre.
Project covers areas in Whitman,
Spokane, Adams, Franklin, Grant
and Lincoln counties.
Total area under project ,O00,-
900 acres.
Area planned to irrigate-2 ,000,-
900 acres of first-class land.
Seyenty-fiye per cent OF this area
is or has been in wheat.
Lands lie between elevation of 500
to 1900 feet above sea level.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
by Il. q. Holland

If the league OF nations we are
reading about nowadays we're termed
league at peoples the purpose
OF the proposed league TO guarantee
perpetual and universal peace might
inspire some Of US with greater hope.
In the end, it likely will be diff
cult for any league of nations sue
cessfully TO guarantee harmony
throughout the world, unless the
statesmanlike terms and purposes OF
The league are worked out in the
everyday lives OF the people living in
the nations involved. In u word, we
must look to the people for peace,
and the signatures OF diplomats to
state papers amount only 10 straws
blown in the right direction.
The people OF nations, as well as
their statesmen, must understand
each other, must think in terms of
a neighboring nations welfare as
we'll as their own, must hold TO the
line OF brotherly relationships laid
down in the Sermon on the Mount;
| and then there will be peace and
good will throughout the world, for
all time with or without peace con-
ferences and treaties.
Opposite ends OF nation, rival
halves Of state, antagonistic coun-
! ties, school districts, road districts,
cities and neighborhoods, opposing
parties, factions, and commercial in
terests, often set a poor example for
world peace in their unfair pickering
over non-essentials, Much of this
strife, in the last analysis, amounts
only to the quest Of pecuniary ad
vantage over a neighbor. These
things do not go well with peace.
Peace and good will on all the
earth is not wholly an international
affair. We must foster peace and
good will at home before we can con
sistently foster it abroad, This APP
! plies to all of us, in our home states,
in our home counties and towns and
neighborhoods. The climb to world
peace begins on the lower rungs OF
the ladder, and these bottom rungs
are at home. In this crucial hour OF
| history, when We have things to do
at home, as we'll as abroad, let us all
remember that peace, like charity,
| begins at home.

Drainage features ideal, prevent
ing necessity of constructing drain
age works.
Water supply-Pend Oreille river.
The first step in the campaign to
gain this great objective is to induce
the state Legislature to appropriate
sufficient funds for a careful survey
of the project and the gathering OF
data to present to the U. S. reclama-
ton service. This data must be SO
complete and convincing as to re-
move any doubts as to the feasibility
and benefits of the undertaking. The
next step will be for all the people
of the state to unite in bringing pres
sure to bear upon the proper govern
ment officials to start work on the
project.
The irrigation of this great body
of land would be one of the greatest
victories of peace in the history OF
the nation. 1t is we'll worth fighting
for. therefore let's fight.

PAID IN FULL

In April, 1917, you went into q
partnership with James Yeager,
American.
You wanted protection for your
family, your income and the privi-
leges you deemed necessary to proper
living.
Several thousand miles away an
army OF arrogant, outlaw millions
had begun a campaign for ruthless
world conquest accompanied by
crimes against women, children and
property. This horror was striding
toward your home.
Yeager agreed to receive training,
brave the submarines and fight this
menace which had taken on forms
more terrible than history recorded
rs your part of this partnership you
were to remain at home, do your part
in financing Ycager's crusade, see
that his family had financial assiet-
ance and pay him $50 a month. \ GU
felt that you had good bargain.
On October u, 1918, near Verdun.
Yeager, while performing his duties
under the terms Of the contract, was
cut off with a few companions in an
exposed position, under heavy ma
chine gun and artillery fire. He
stood off the foe with his automatic
rifle until severely wounded.
After lying seven hours with a
companion. achievements arrived
and two stretcher bearers came with
only one stretcher. Your partner
Yeager demanded that the other man
be taken first. When they returned
for Yeager he had been released
from your contract-he was dead
Next April just two years after
the signing of that agreement, you
will be asked to carry out the final
part of your stipulation by subscrib-
ing to the Victory Liberty Loan.
Will you meet that obligation cheer
fully or begrudgingly?

THE FARMERS PROFITS

The editors of city newspapers are
prone to harp upon the enormous
profits of the farmers and to rave
over the high cost of farm produce.
because the farmers managed to
make a living at pre-war prices for
their products, they must be simply
coming money under present prices.
They fail altogether to take into con-
sideration the increased cost of pro-
duction. They pick out few indl-
vidual cases of men who have in
herited fine farms, or who have been
able to make money out of the labor
of numerous sons and daughters or
have bought land when it was cheap
and have grown prosperous because
of the increase in its value, ana
point to them as proof OF the high
profits in farming.
Obviously it is mistake to con-
fuse inherited wealth or profits ac-
cruing from cheap labor or from the
increase in the value of land, with
the profits of actual farming opera
tons; and it is unfair to take a few
isolated cases of men of unusual ca
pacity or who have been favored by
exceptional circumstances, as repre-
senting the results which can be at
tanned by the average farmer under
average conditions. The income OF
the average renter is by far fairer
standard of the profits in farming.
These renters have not made dol
lar an hour or five or six dollars a
day Most of them have made barely
enough to support their families. Yet
they are skilled workmen and have
to know how to do many more things
than a city mechanic or a factory
hand or a store keeper. Few bust
ness men would be content with the
returns which farmer receives for
his labor and his invested capital,
otherwise more of them would en-
gage in farming They find it more
profitable to buy land and rent it
than to farm it themselves,
The farmer today is in much the
same position as the city working
man before the labor unions were
organized Then the workman had
to work as many hours as his boss

MORE FARM ACCOUNT
BOOKS PRINTED

The extension service has found it
necessary to print second edition OF
the new type of Farm Account Book
designed last year The second edi-
ton of 10000 copies was ready for
distribution last week and about
4500 copies have already been sent
out, Farmers from Washington
Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Can
ada are cooperating with this dc
partment in the account book work
The Account BOOK distributed by
the Extension Service is quite differ
ent from most commercial books. as
it is simple and easy to use, yet con-
tains forms enough to enable farm
ers TO figure the profits Of their bust
ness accurately. 1t was approved by
the income tax officials last spring.
being the first book to secure such
approval in this state.
The form for this account book
was designed by the Extension serv-
ice of the State College two years ago
and has been adopted with minor
changes by the Extension Service in
the states of South Dakota, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, New Mexico and Oregon.

GET READY NOW
(By Edward c. Johnson dean and
director Washington State College
of Agriculture

If he was a college student before
the war, or not yet in college but
prepared to enter, the returned sol
dier's biggest and best opportunity
now is to enroll and continue his
studies
Such young man does not need
to hunt for place to spend his en-
ergies profitably. The place is
awaiting him.
Industry must now be adjusted to
peace-time conditions, and until this
is accomplished there is unapt to be
the normal demand for labor. But
the returned soldier should not be
idle during this temporary lull in in
dustry. He should at once proceed
tc equip himself for leadership in ag-
riculture, in industry, or business,
The need for the former soldiers
services in responsible positions will
be as great, or greater, one or two
years hence, than now. Spending
his time now in adequate preparation
the young man will be ready in
year or two, to avail himself of the
large opportunities then existing;
whereas, if he fails to get himself
ready, he is more apt to fail when he
enters upon a responsible position
later.
The call for trained men in agri-
culture will be especially keen in the
next few years in the large develop
ment that is sure to come. More
over, at the outbreak OF the war,
thousands of students in agriculture
enlisted, so the number of graduates
will in the next few years be below
normal. Those who return to col
lege early will be the quickest ready
to meet the demands of the immedi-
ate future.
The next quarter of the State Col
lege of Washington opens on March
81, at which time there should be
large enrolment of new students as
well as returned soldiers who were
in college before entering the army.

wage was offered him, which was
usually about enough for him to eX-
list upon. BY organizing they have
been able to secure an eight-hOur day
and to have voice in fixing the COM
pensation per hour for their labor.
The farmers have not organized and
so still have to sell their products at
prices fixed by others, in which the
cost OF production is absolutely ig-
nored. The only limit to their work
ing day is the number of hours OF
daylight Every year they gamble
with nature on getting a crop and
then they gamble with world condi-
lions of supply and demand on get
ting price which will pay the cost
of producing the crop One bad year
often wipes out the profits Of several
good ones.
Until the farmers organize in such
a way as to command recognition in
the fixing of the prices Of their pro-
ducts and in a framing of legisla-
ton affecting their industry, their
profits will be uncertain, if not neg
ligible, and their sons and daughters
viii continue to flock to the cities to
seek more remuneratiVe employment
under pleasanter conditions than are
found on the farms.
