said to be far safer-which his object in working

Dynamite and various other explosives have the dis
advantage of exploding often when you don't want
them to. The new compound for which the inventor
is seeking patent at Washington, is declared be

On HOrseshoeing

Instead Of learning his father 5
smith has learned to turn the handle
of the gasoline pump and to mani
pulatc a grease gun. And many of
the spreading chestnut trees that
have not been killed by chestnut
blight may have succumbed to oil
seepagc and no longer provide shade
for the new-art filling stations. AS
result the shooting Of farm horses
is serious problem in many com
munities. Farmers have been forced
to do their own shoeing or take a
chance on an unshod horse going
lame just at the moment he is most
needed.
To guide the farmer the United
States Department of Agriculture
has issued Farmers Bulletin No.
1885 on farm horseshoeeing. A copy
of this bulletin can be obtained free
by calling at the farm advisors Of
flee in FL Centre. Farrier supply
houses and hardware merchants are
ready to meet the demand for
ready. to-wcar shoes of various
sizes.
The advice in the bulletin is com
potent and the pamphlet is we'll IL
lustrated, but the foreword warns
that trimming and leveling hoors,
fitting shoes and mailing them on
are much more readily understood
if presented in an actual demon
stration by a competent horse

who have seen the old village
smithy supplanted by the new fill
ing stations and garage get togeth,
err and apply to their agricultural
college for community demon
stration by state specialist who

THREE STEPS TO PEACE

Congressman Theodore E. Burton who men,
Der of the foreign debt-fundng commission and who
makes it his business to keep in touch with foreign af
fairs back again from a summer in Europe, has this
to say:
The move toward peace in Europe, while not great
er this year than last, is still potent. Europe needs
three things to get peace: generally accepted
method of settling international controversies conf
dence that such method will succeed, and then dis
armament"
The world, with Europe leading, seems to be really
drifting toward the first of these. 1t from TO-
cussng world thought on the problem of peace and
searching sincerely for method
Remedies come when enough people think long
enough and hard enough. One of these days, out of
the darkness some may arise big enough to light
up the situation and show way so that all the
lions will and agree.
They are almost in mood for that now. We
only hope that that it will not take another big
to make the demand for peace universal and unani-
NOUS.
