There are over 100000 blind per-

The object is to serve all blind per-

Since the work was started in

keeping with the general progress
in civic life, both from 4 social and
business point of view.
The civic value of Lionism, Riley
stated, lies in the service it renders
to the communities in which it finds
itself, and it cXamplifies itself fur.
ther in the faith it instills in its
members in their vocation or bust
ness career. He spoke further of
the great interest Lions should show
in the children of the present age
in an effort 20 solve that problem
by their own good example. The
proper care of boys has q most ben
cficial effect on civic life in gen
oral.
Leadership amongst the Lions
must be developed the speaker said
Their place is at the head of every
community and they must assume
this responsibility if they are to be
true to their club beliefs.
Compliments Valley
He complimented the valley on
the change which has occurred here
in the past five years. Adverse con
ditions have been overcome by Il
perseverance and courage that are
admirable, and he feels that the
Lions club can lay claim to no small
share in this great development. He
pleaded that every man should be
given the opportunity to do what he
wished to do, for il is only in this
way that the best qualities of each
can be developed.
Jack Riley Of Long Beach, who
gave the original charters to the
clubs of the valley also spoke and
reviewed the progress he has motto
ed here in the past few years since

by sick parrots on the floors Of their cages where It sur.
vtved for some time, % that even cleaning out thu
cages might have led to an infection. Outbreaks fol.
lowed In England and italy.
The disease Is described as like typhoid fever COM
plicatcd BY pneumonia" It becomes manifest in from
Z to Is days after the infection. Sometimes the onset i
sudden. with severe chils. like pneumonia, and some
times 1t is gradual. with headache. loss Of appetite
nausea and great lassitude. The diagnosis Is difficult be-
cause the bacillus ~psittacosis recovered from the victims
is very similar to the paratyphoid bacillus and the
stretptococcus and pheumococcus are usually found IN
conjunction with 1t. Some authorities insist that psit-
tacosis never has been found in a human being. Others
believe that tho infection is not serious In itself, but
that psittacosis prepares the way for the pneumococcus
invasion. In human victims the lungs are always in
volved. while no case Of lung damage has been found
IN dead parrots.
The progress is similar to that Of typhoid fever. The
temperature goes up rapidly. reaching from 1o2 to 100.

Editorial Comment
Agricultural Education Scores Again
minneapolis Tribune)

Indiana farmers are making three bushels Of corn
grow where one grew before as q result of an educational
campaign directed by Purdue university and conducted
through the medium Of ~five>acre corn contests. It is
proving to farmers that one is never too old to learn.
1hlS year 7OS farmers In "a counties took part in the
five-acre contests. It was won by 4 farmer who produced
lJO.61 bushels to the acre. More thAn 100 contestants
produced an average Of better than 100 bushels to the
acre. Weather conditions were not Of the best. In 1927
one contestant set the record for five-acrc corn con-
tcstants. 1888 bushels to the acre.
A better idea II Whist all this means IS gained BY
turning to federal statistics. These show that the aver
age corn crop IN Indiana last year was 257 bushels to
the acre. In Minnesota It was IS bushels.
The contestants, OF course, followed scientific directions
a. given them py Purdue university agricultural author

soil ready. In cultivation. and In fertilization. The advice
paid them handsomely, - results show.

All these states have higher 4yefdee corn roductlo1

The recent announcement Of the manner An which
the 100000 estate Of the late Conrad Hubert Is to be
divided among various charitable organizations brings to
a close an episode that has made extremely pleasant
reading.
Former President Calvin Coolidge and former Governor
Alfred E. Smith were two Of the committee Of three
named to settle on the method Of dividing the estate
For a number Of months they worked together; and there
was something very refreshing about the manner iii
which these two distinguished men-utterly unlike one
another in birth, breeding and o~utlook-pitched in to-
gether to perform a public service.
Calvin Coolidge and Al Smith, strange pair to work
in harness together. surely! 1t was pleasant to read about
their joint activities. pleasant to speculate on the con-
trast which their presence on the same committee kept
emphasizing. We are sorry that their work has been
brought to a close.

rALENESS MAY NOT MEAN
ANEMIA

There once was q time when any
young girl who was both thin and
pale, was certain that she had a1e-
mia. But now we know that not all
thin people are anernic, and not all
pale people are suffering from this
disease. The day Of taking pink pills
for pale people is over. As q matter
Of fact. the type Of anemia, which
used to be frequently found among
young girls, called green sickness"
has nearly: disappeared In America.
Curiously enough, the best cur for
green sickness Is to eat plenty Of
green vegetables.
It is impossible to determine
! whether anemia. is present or not by
merely looking at the patient. The
only way to tell is to examine some
Of the blood under q m~iscroscope.
When blood is healthy it has over
100000 red blood cells and about
1900 white blood cells per cubic
millimeter, and the blood should
have 4 definite amount Of redness
caused by the hemoglobin in the red
blood corpuscleS. The redness Of the
hemoglobin is caused by iron pig
r1ents. You can realize how import
ant this hemoglobin is to the health
when you understand that 1t carries
the oxygen from the lungs to all parts
Of the body. When the percentage
Of hemoglobin falls below 80, the
body can not obtain enough oxygen.
A lot OF people think that since
hemoglobin is made from an iron
compound, all that Is necessary to In
crease the amount Of hemogolbin is to
eat more iron. As . matter Of fact,
foods which contain iron are very
numerous, and most of them are CONF
mon foods found in an ordinary diet.
In those who do. not have enough
hemoglobin it seems that something
has happened to the body's ability to
use the iron that Is present In. the
food. Only about .O02 Of an ounce Of
iron is required by the body daily and
as iron Is abundant In lettuce, spin.
