''If a drop of salt water could
talk it would tell the whole story
of the Pacific"
One Santa Fe freight train GO
ing through the Kansas City yards
to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas
grain fields told the story of prog
Vess and prosperity in this coun-
Try and promised solution of its
labor problem, aggravated by i'm
migration restrictions.
That train of thirty-one cara
carried $250000 worth of Com
bine Harvesters" and will soon be
followed by thousand carloads
of those labor-saving machines.
They cut grain, thresh it, pile up
the straw, delivering the grain in
sacks or by spout to miniature
grain elevators. In Kansas last
year they saved the work of 49,
600 men.
Employment conditions are not
satisfactory in New York State
and Governor Smith instructs pub
lie officials to help take up the
slack" by putting men to work on
public enterprises.
That should be, automatically,
part of National and State pro-
grammes.
A farmer finds something for
his farm hands and his own hands
TO do in Winter, when crops are
in. A good farmer keeps his
horses at work, earning their keep
in Winter, hauling wood or other
wise.
National and State governments,
all needing roads, canals, drainage,
all sorts of improvements, should
find work for everybody willing to
work, and at decent pay.
Thomas A. Edison says he is
really 162 years old, because he
has done two days work every
day of his eighty-one years.
He did ten thousand years work
when he changed mans lighting
system from kerosene to electric
ity His habit of working two
days in one accounts for the fact
that mentally he is forty. not
Gghty-one.
An active mind stays young h
man or woman. q
Women grow old prematurely
because badly organized civilixa~
Eion gives them nothing to do ex~
cept talk and dress when their
children are grown.
Eskimos, within reach Of civilE-
Eation, sell their valuable furs to
white traders and wear coats of
leather and cheap, ready-made
suits. They can sympathize with
some farmers that sell cream and
butter to cities and eat oleomar-
garine.
Flaming youth" dancing, drink
Ing or shooting worries other
countries also. Lawyers from
Japan, France and Britain are
watching a Berlin murder trial.
Hans Krantz, aged nineteen.
helped his young friend, Scheller,
md Scheller's sister, Hildegard.
10 pass an evening pleasantly with
dancing, tobacco and much drink.
Hildegard, only sixteen, smuggled
friend, Otto Stephan, into her
bedroom, and Hans, attached to
Hildegard, told the girls brother
ae ought to kill Stephan. He did
/, then killed himself.
The question is, did Krantz COM
nit murder when he told his
friend, "Avenge your sisters hon.
ar by killing the man!
Americans talk today of many
,kings-prosperity, politics, as
Iorted crimes, sports.
News that will interest future
generations is the fact that actual
moving pictures of human beings
we're sent through the ether, with
tut wires, across the Atlantic
Ocean.
Human beings actually saw each
,ther, separated by three thousand
niles of water.
If that is done by a race only
1000 years from the Stone Age,
VhO can QOuDt LHdL HllluOH years
.ence our race will see pictures,
coming through the ether, of life
IN other planets.
Mr.. Bonfls, through his Denver
Post, tells the world he wants
every family in the United States
% own a home, automobile and
radio" because this would tre-
nendously increase the happiness
md prosperity of all our people. +"
1t would have seemed prepos-
!erous in Rome to suggest that
anybody but the Emperor and a
lew of the great should Gown q
bathtub. There was serious pro-
TEST against installing the first
bathtub in the White House, on
the ground that it was not demo-
cratic. The Bonhls1 trinity of
comfort-home, q automobile and
radio-for every family will be
realized, plus freedom from worry
in old age, more important than
the other three. -
