c ALLIED FOR HELP
Steamer Answering S. O. S.
Finds Ship But no Trace
of Passengers

London, April ga Reuters dis
patch from Capetown says that the
Portuguese mail steamer Mossanedes
which grounded several days ago at
Cape Frio, southwest Africa, has
been found abandoned with no sign
of the 237 passengers she carried.
Thus far, the dispatch adds, no boats
have been picked up and there is no
indication of the fate of passengers
and crew. Owing to the fact that
there are no landing places in the
neighborhood of Cape Frio and Il
heavy sea is running today grave
anxiety is felt for the safety of the
passengers. The passenger list IN
cluded 20 women and % children.
Two of them were British and the
rest Portuguese.
The Mossanedes, a vessel of 4,Gl5
tons, left Capetown last Friday for
the west coast. Just when she went
ashore is unknown but she sent out
an S. o. S. call for help. The British
steamer Port Victor, which was 200
miles away, raced to her assistance.
arriving about midnight on Tuesday.
The Port Victor found the Mossan-
edes abandoned.
The British steamer, the dispatch
says, still is searching for the boat
If necessary the German steamer
Urandi, which is coaling at Walvis,
will assist in the search.

"All of the snow has gone except

er during the past week has been
ideal for drying the fields. A few
farmers who have light land started
seeding the latter part of the week.
In the eastern half of the county
seeding operations will not be gen
eral before May 1. Due to the large
amount of water, especially in the
low spots, it is quite probable that
the wheat acreage will be reduced
from that of last year. Farmers re-
port an increased flax acreage.

REMEDYING SOCIAL EVILS

While sudden and sweeping
changes in human society would
create infinite misery, yet most OF
the evils from which the country
suffer could be removed if the peo-
pie would only take wise steps to ac-
complish social reforms
OF course things will never go
wholly right so long as so many
people are grasping and selfish. But
the more serious evils that perplex
the country are due to the mis-
takes of the people as whole.
Many of the troubles from which
the country suffers are due to the
errors of government. If the peo-
pie would elect wise and competent
officials, they could right the most
serious wrongs.
AS it is now, a great many men
get into office who are. willing to
consider only what seems to be the
immediate desire of their constitu-
ents. A man will go to Congress
and vote for some benefit for his
own district, when he should know
that that policy wuold be harmful
to the country at large, Or he will
vote to please some grasping ele-
ment, and perpetuate some wrong,
to please some organized group
among his constituents.
If the people were thoroughly
wise and intelligent, they would
throw such a man out of office so
quick that it would make a politi-
clans hair stand on end, The re-
suit would be that our politicians
would consider the good of the
whole people, instead of playing for
special interests.
The time is never likely to come
in our day, when all the people will
have the higher education. And not
all who have had all that schools
and colleges can teach can be de-
pended upon to vote wisely. But
it would help lot if people would
do more newspaper reading, taking
pains to read both sides of public
questions. If everybody would read
and think on such themes, it would
not be so easy for selfish and shall
low politicians to get into positions
of influence.

THE GREATEST ASSET

The remark is often made that
the boys and girls of a community
are its greatest asset. Yet though
people may assent TO this proposition
theoretically, yet often is practical
life they ignore it altogether.
In the matter Of schools or play
grounds, for instance, they will Oft
en- haggle about some sum of money
that win place no large burden on
the tax rate, but which is really
Necessary for the proper training Of
the young people.
II is not right in these times to
support any measure calling for ex-
travagant use Of money. Our cities
must show thrift just as TIE indivi-
dual family must. but it is wise
to exercise discrimination in decid-
ing where to exercise thrift
Our communities need good roads
very badly. But if it came down to
the hard choice whether to s&imp
on schools, the farsighted cit.2cn
would say it was better to sk.mp
on the roads.
There are many roads where by
careful patching of bad places a
road could be made to go for a
aumbcr Of years further, thus post
ooning the time when a heavy con
;truction JOB will become necessary.
You can't patch a boys brains in
he same way. If the opportunity
10 create the ideals and intelligence
hat enable him to become a good
citizen is missed, a chance has been
.et go that may never return.
School authorities need in these
times to be very practical, and to
5tduy ways and means for getting
their results in the least expensive
way. Needless and costly changes
IRE sometims made in text books
and other equipment, for instance,
where if the teachers are competent
practically the same results can be
secured with material already pos
sessed. But when it comes to secur-
ing teachers, it does not pay to
economic by employing incompe-
tent people in place of those who
really have brains and enthusiasm
and technical training.

PROTECTING THE BIRDS

Insect pests are one great OBJ
stacle to raising food crops, and
they will continue so until this
country manages to restore the
same amount of bird life that was
in existence years ago. 1t should be
made very serious offence in every
state to kill an insect eating bird.
1t seems strange state of things
when pot hunters are allowed to
90 out and kill birds that are needed
to keep down bugs that prey on
crops. The game bag of birds will
make few pies for the sporty
crowd in the cities, but those birds
if kept alive, would kill the bugs
that are preying on whole field OF
crops.

LYE DANGEROUS

Concentrated lye. used so freely
and commonly in almost all kitchens
and about the homes Of our people,
is a dangerous poison; 1t is caustic
and results in severe burns. Many
caustic soda preparations do not have
a poison label. They should, and we
should have a law on our statute
books reqntring it, not only for I've
and caustic mixtures, but for all mix
lures or remedies that are dangerous.
The members of our General Assem-
bly, from this county could not do
better service than to see that this
law is enacted.
