ten year old runaway boy picked up
in the yards few nights ago. His
name is Geo. Pismark, and his home is

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Another county baby beef club will
be organized during the month of
October. This club has aroused much
interest among many of the boys and
girls the past few years. Their county
farm exhibits received much comment.
Club work is education on cost of
production. 1t learns the boy OF girl
the basic principles in feeding, care
and management of livestock.
A few of the general regulations
are as follows:
Any boy or girl over ten and under
10 years of age Jan. 1, 1919, is eligi-
BILE. After enrolling, each member
will select a calf dropped between
Jan. LIST and Sept. LIST, 1919. Be
tween Oct. LIST and Oct Both, the calf
is weighed and the feeding record will
commence. Prizes are also offered.
Any boy wishing more information,
write. Burl Vandecar of Mondamin
won the county trip to Chicago last
year.
A survey of labor needs for corn
picking is under way. The school dis
trict cooperators are giving an esti-
mate as to the number of men need
ed to crib the corn in their communi-
ties. On checking the reports at hand
it is noted that a large number of
men will be needed. Cribbing will
commence about Oct. 18th with good
estimated corn fields. Many COM
munities have not yet reported.
Following is the summary of re-
ports received:
Reports received-33 men, needed
l73. Estimated corn yield, 40 bu.
Prices for corn picking will average
from 6 to cents.
Farmers should make arrangements
for corn huskers at an early date. 1t
now looks like Harrison would be
among the first counties to COM
mence cribbing. 1t seems that most
all neighboring localities have been
receiving heavier rains, which will de-
lay the work in those sections.
The Agricultural Association, in a
recent meeting held in Indiana gave
a good receipt for the laboring world
to reduce the H. C. L.
Instead of demanding higher wages,
less hours and more strikes, work ten
hours, save money and practice thrift.

of a pension roll four times as great
when the European war shall have re-
ceded into the background Of history as
far as the civil war is now.
Nothing that statesmen and Legislators
Of the present generation can do viii
bind the Congresses of the future, but by
removing in the beginning the chief argu-
ment for unlimited pensions, that of the
inability Of the soldier who has been
wounded In his eountry's service to sup
port himself and his family, the measures
adopted by the United States at the be-
ginning Of the war just ended are de-
signed to discourage the prodigaity and
waste that have characterized so much of
our pension legislation in the past. This
programme, as embodied in the War
Risk Insurance act and the vocational re-
Mobilization act, insures, first, to every
soldier In any way disabled through
wounds or disease incurred in the war
continuing compensation based upon the
character of his injuries and his pay as
soldier, and at the same time provides
that In the case of disability impairing
the mans earning power in his former
occupation he shall be given the oppor-
tunity to learn at the expense of the Gov
eminent trade or profession at which
he can support himself at least as well as
would have been the case had he not been
disabled In the service of his country
As the whole present pension system
arose from the perfectly legitimate @and
humane desire to alleviate the economic
condition of those whose disabilities in
CURED in war had impaired their earn
ing powers, the principal motive for gen
eral pension legislation is removed by the
terms of these laws already in effect.
Mr.. Harris's book deals exhaustieely
with these underlying principles, upon
which the rehabilitation programme now
being carried out by the Federal Board
for Vocational Education is based. 1t is
the first clear and explicit exposition for
the general reader Of the whole theory
as well as the actual practice being pur-
sued. Accepting in its entirety the prin-

l. Mary Z. Parkman has gathered TO-
gether an even dozen Of biographical
sketches of the King Of Belgium, Marshals
Joffre and Foch, PreIuiers Lloyd George
and Clemeneeau, the King Of Italy, Presi-
dent Wilson, Admiral Beatty, Gems.
Maude, Allenby and Pershing, and Guy
nemer, the famous French military avia-
tor Although no one would pretend there
is anything original to be said Of these
warriors in the cause of peace at this late
day, the writer of these sketches has done
her work well except in the instances of
the sketches Of Victor Emmanuel and
President Wilson. Mrs. Parkman knows
how important the beginnings of a mans
life are in forming his character, and in
most of these sketches she gives US
glimpses of the boy who became the dis
linguished man of to-day. Her picture Of
the boyhood of Guynemer (ruissing in
most of the biographies) is not only
charmingly written, but allows Us 10 see
why the gallant air fighter gave his life
as he did for his country, The sketches
of Lloyd George and Clemenceau are also
particularly admirable in this respect The
look is illustrated with photographs OF
each of the twelve fighters for peace in

ciple that the best service society can
render the man who has suffered DISABLE
ity in its service is not to support him In
idleness but to prove to him that no
matter how great his disability it is still
possible for him to become a sef-sup-
porting citizen, able to compete with the
physically sound in some lucrative occu-
patton, the Government is pledged to
furnish the facilities and the oppor-
tunity for the utmost possible limit Of his
physical restoration and his most com
plete and practical reeducation to q new
trade or vocation. His placement in
position where he can then proftably ex-
ercise his newly acquired or reacquired
abilities necessarily follows, and this en-
tire task of physical rehabilitation, vo-
eational reedueation and placement has
BEEN delegated to the Board for Voca-
hoaal Education.
This work is already well under way.
Some thousands Of American veterans of
the great war are already being restored
to usefulness and being taught, by meth
DDS which are based upon the successful
experience of the European Allies, how
to earn living in spite of the handicaps
imposed by their war injuries.
The range of disabilities extends all
the way from deafness to almost complete
ACKNOWLEDGMENT There seems to be no
limit to the physical handicaps that can
be successfully overcome once the victim
is convinced in his own mind that he can
overcome them and proper facilities are
provided for his physical restoration and
vocational training. Only a very minute
percentage of disabled soldiers and sail
ors can properly be regarded as hopeless
cases, totally incapable Of becoming self
supporting. Nearly all that has been
written on the subject of the rehabilita-
ton of the disabled soldier has dealt with
those physically MANNED by the loss of
limbs, or with the blind. Mr. Harris's
book brings statistics down to February
/, 1919: at that date it seemed 10 be

doubtful whether the number Of Ameri-
can soldiers rendered totally blind in the
war would be as many as 100. Of totally
and partially blind the number is not ex-
pected to reach 200. Up to the middle Of
January there had been reported less
than 100 men suffering from defects OF
hearing and speech. Not more than 5000
soldiers and sailors in all have suffered
amputations of any of their limbs; OF
these approximately LOO have been re-
turned from overseas and were under
treatment when this book was written.
Disability In forms not involving dis
memberment or the loss Of sight or hear
ing is a much more important problem.
More than 5000 soldiers are under res
torative treatment for tuberculosis ac-
quired in the line Of dnty. Large num-
bers suffered injuries through wounds
and disease resulting in the stiffening
of joints, impairment of their powers OF
endurance, nervous affections of yari-
Gus kinds and other forms of disability
that made it impossible for them to re-
sumo their former vacations and neceSsl-
tating the learning Of new occupations.
These men, whose disabilities are not OBJ
vious to the casual observer but which
are nevertheless serious, constitute by far
the largest proportion of those who but
for the reedueation provided for under
the vocational rehabilitation act would
always be in imminent danger Of becom-
ing dependents upon the community.
w.
Mr.. Harris has told the whole story OF
the Governments plans and purposes,
not only as relates to the disabled soldier
or sailor but as to the extension of the
work of vocational rehabilitation to the
victims Of industrial accidents and dis
ease. The book is the first of a series
dealing with problems of war and recon-
struction edited by Francis G. Wickware.
If the remaining volumes deal with their
respective subjects as thoroughly and at
the same time Interestingly as The Re
dcmption of the Disabled deals with its
subject matter these books will prove
valuable contribution to the literature OF
present day economies and Of vital ser
vice in the effort of solving the manifold
new problems confronting the American
people.

being found at the end Of his sketch of
Sir F. f. Smith (now Lord Birkenhead
and Lord High Chancellor). He writes
of Sir Frederick's return from "a propa-
gandizing tour in the United States gin
circumstances of some mystery" In view
of Sir Frederick's tactless speech at a
Bar Association meeting in this city and
his further indiscretion in Canada at
dinner party there does not seem to be
much of a mystery as to his recall. Mr..
Raymond says of Sir Edward Carson's
Ulster rebellion movement, "Potsdam
betted heavily on Carsonism. {.
Potsdam may have been wrong. But some
part of the readiness with which Germany
accepted a great risk was undoubtedly
due 10 the conviction that the schism was
real and serious, that it affected the dis
cipline of the British army, and would
probably paralyze British diplomacy"
For the most part these sketches APP
peared in the English periodical Erery-
man. Great names fill the title pages and
beyond; such as Mr.. Asquith, Viscount
Grey Of Fallodon, Winston Churchill, the
Marquis of Lansdownc, Earl Curzon.
