Red Cross Trains
147 Blind Vets
In Useful Work

Training designed to fit them for the
battle of life was taken by lat blsnd-
ed ex-service men at the Red Cross In
stitute' for the Blind, near Baltimore,
Md, during the fiscal year 1920-1921.
according to the report of the Instl-
tute for that period.
OF this number, 10 have gone on to
other Institutions, in almost every
case to institutions where those hay-
ing sight are receiving advanced elu-
cation. The blind ex-service men who
have entered such institutions are pro-
vided with special textbooks In
Br;tiIle, reading which they were
taught at the Red Cross Institute,
Twelve men have passed from the
Institute to successfully carry on some
occupation or business for which they
were fitted by special training A few
have withdrawn from the institute be-
cause of poor physical condition. IA are
receiving further training on the
job" and 81 are still in training.

BURNING CORN


An editor has this to say in regard
to burning corn: - 't
There is something wrong when
Western farmers burn corn because
they cannot sell it at profit, while
millions of people are starving. There
may be something wrong with the
cost of production, if the farmer, in
getting it to the starving poor, must
accept a price which compels them to
pocket a loss. Burning corn as a fuel
when it is needed as food is. a crime
against civilization that ought to be
suppressed in some way in the inter-
ests of humanity. It may be a. hard
problem. but it's solution would be a
greater victory than the making of
war impossible"
4 May we Be allowed to add that it is
great wrong in the sight of our All
Wise Father to destroy food when we
daily pray give us this day our daily
bread" -

LOWER FREIGHTS ON FARM
PRODUCTS

The ten per cent reduction in car
load freight rates for farm products,
is the best news the farmer has heard
for many day. The population of this
country spreads out over a Tast area
as the result of cheap freightage.
Great farming communities yhave de-
veloped at a long distance from the
population centers, as the result Of
ability to transport commodities for a
long distance for small expense. 4
When freight rates go up, it at
tacks the foundation of the prospect
ty' of the agricultural states, and
makes it impossible to, deliver their
product at profit The ten per cent
reduction of these foodstuffs should
result in an accelerated sale thereof,
thus enabling the farmers to buy
more seed and tools for another
spring and hire more labor, which
must accomplish general business re-
vival.

Protecting The Farm.

The average farm property, &C
cording to fire insurance men, is
what they call a poor risk. Many
farm houses, barns and other
outbuirdings are annually de-
str6yed by fire. In most of the
cases the fires could have been
prevented.
In the old days most farm fires
were attributed to lightning,
spontaneous ignition in the hay
NOV, an accident to the lantern
or to some nisanthropic tramp.
But with our varied improve
ments have come new causes of
fires, bringing with them new
clauses in insurance policies and
the necessity for new precautions.
