 Rain Saves Crops
 Disquietins fears that the entire local fall crops were to be lost be. cause of the lack of rain which has harassed the entire country were dispelled by the rain which started to fall during the night and which, according to every indicl- tion, will continue for the remain der of the day.
 The extreme heat that was ex. perienCed in this section during the past two weeks tended to aggravate the condition and local farmers who were interviewed today stated that it was their opinion that had the rain been withheld for another week their would have been no necessity for the farmers to harvest the crop as they would be worthless
 All conceded, however, that to- days downfall would furnish the necessary life for the vegetation and they all expressed the doubt that any serious losses would be reported from this section.
 The curtailment of the market due to the strict quarantine meae- ures which have been adopted for this section because of the infection with the European corn borer has also greatly hampered the local farmers It is estimated that less than ten per cent of the average corn production would be harvested this year

While the arguments, pro and con,
over governmental methods OF
EARN relief" continue, the farmer,
aided by the electric industry, is en-
gagged in movement that has almost
unlimited potentialities for agricul-
tural progress and prosperity.
Farm identification is now show
ing tangible results. At the begin
ming of this year $50, 426 farms-8.8
per cent of all farms in the country
used electricity for light and power.
During 1929 the increase in the num-
Der of farms employing electaicity
was ZIG per cent.
Electricity on the farm has passed
beyond the experimental stage and
is an accepted thing. The problems
that must still be solved are those OF
financing and construction. And
the electric companies are making
extensions as rapidly as possible.

Ancient Magyar Carvings
Throw Light on History

At Quirigua, In the republic Of
Guatemala, there exists a number Of
most interesting ruins, apparently the
remains of temples and other public
buildings. There are many individual
monoliths. erected as monuments Of
different sorts, sculptured with human
faces and figures, and animal designs,
as we'll as hieroglyphics, which archie
Ologists have not as yet been able to
decipher accurately. One such stone
bears date in Magyar chronology
which has been computed to coincide
with 535 A. u. of the Gregorian cal
endar. The carving of this monolith,
which Is the largest of the surviving
remnants, is still clear and perfect
despite the long procession Of GEN.
turtles that has passed over 1t. In
scriptions and representations on this
and other stones tend to the belief
that Indian corn was first cultivated
in Guatemala. The corn.cakes Of the
Magyar Indians were probably the first
attempts to cook corn, or maize, and
these cakes are still today the staple
Of the Guatemalan and Mexican diet.

More and more, during coming
years, the national prosperity of the
United States will depend upon inter-
national commerce.
A vital need today is for a spirit of
what might be called international
mindedness" on the part of the
American public. This is, unfor-
tunately, lacking to large degree.
Prior to the war our nation was so
occupied with internal developments
that international trade was carried
on in a hit-and-miss fashion by an
exceedingly limited number of con-
Germs and individuals.
Times change. The world of the
future will be a cooperative world.
In it no nation will be able to stand
alone and remote from the rest.
And those nations which develop
international trade land, at the same
time, international relations of all
kinds will be the world leaders of
tomorrow.

The .'present depression in the
opinion of Senator William E. Borah, is
the natural result of the World War, :"
and thus becomes reason for devotion
to the task of securing permanent peace.
His explanation of present conditions
was addressed to IS. 900 persons attend
ing the Eastern Idaho fair.
1.-THE great costs of the war are now
being realized" he said. Pointing out
there were 5000, 900 unemployed in
this country and in the world he said
the depression led to disturbances in
South America and that only 'relex''
was being felt in this country.
1.-The huge debt at the end of the
war, both in human lives and in none
tary costs. brought about increased taxes
and took the money normally used for
purchases. Borah says.

TREND OF WORLD AFFAIRS
BY Lucy Meacham Thurston

Growing pains for the League !
And this term is not plagiarized.
1t was outlined for a word on the
present seeming uncertainties before
the League and afterwards seen in
a printed article. But is it surprising
that many have thought of that term?
The relations of the world are being
organized on new basis, there must
be adjustment after adjustment and
not always accord. AS inventions
and progress are drawing the world
necessarily closer together the peo-
pies are bewildered by political and
industrial problems, territorial and
cultural ones. Europe is still the
ancient cornerstone of civilization
we are reminded, but Europe is
divided into 26 countries and the
basis of her stability is thus a map. "
This map has never been loyalty ac-
cepted by the nations within it.
Today ''the racial minorities alone
represent a population of 10000,
OOO." To draw these 26 divisions
closer together is M. Brands plan
for a federated Europe it has
been the plan of many another states
man. Germany is declaring that
since she is acquitted of war-guilt
she should have her colonies restored
to her. Italy and France have their
Mediterranean and North African
questions unadjusted. These are
only few of the pains" An anal
ysis would take many books. Mean
while it must be remembered, with
hope, that there is the League itself
to consider the questions causing
such disturbance, the aid of the pact
of Locarno, the Young plan, the
naval agreement between the United
States, Britain and Japan. AND
THE KELLOGG TREATY. Friend
ship between peoples is also being
promoted by those inventions of
radio; aviation, by interchange OF
students and development of official
and unofficial hospitality, by world
wide groups, based upon interests.
It is understood that remedy for the
growing pains lies along these lines
of cooperation and understanding, of
adjustments and practical transla-
tons of the Kellogg Pact.

Eagle Undisputed King
of Feathered Creatures

In all ages and among many ma
lions the eagle has been considered the
king of birds. In ancient mythology
he was held sacred to Jove, who had
dominion over the seasons and held in
his grasp the lightning. In early his
toric times many nations paid 1t spe-
cial reverence. and the Romans, fol-
lowing the earlier example of the Per-
slams or Assyrians, made it their en-
sign. More modern countries-France,
Prussia, Italy, Mexico-have chosen
its figure to adorn their standards. It
was natural, therefore, that America
should adopt its own fine species as
Its emblem. Since 1882, when 1t was
formally chosen. the eagle has been
selected to appear on the official flags
Of Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan.
New York, North Dakota, Oregon and
Utah. His image also figures on vari-
GUS flags. standards and seals Of the
United States, Of the army and
navy, and of the President and his
cabinet, and on several Of our COINS
Nature Magazine.

According toan article in the Manu-
facturer's News, taxes collected by
state and local governments totaled
$1,526, 900, 900 in 1918; 1902, OOO,0
in 1928; S., 34S, 100000 in 1926 and
they are still on the increase. In Is
years our public income has increasd
1926 per cent, as compared with a 700
per cent rise in taxes.
Since the war the Federal govern
ment has kept fairly consistently to
an economy program which has per-
mitted an appreciate decrease in
national taxes. In contrast to this,
state and local governments have
gone on veritable ogries of spend
ing. Unnecessary, overly-expeusive
public improvements, - ventures
into business, political waste and
the like have made sad inroads into
the American pocket book.
There is but one solution-busi-
ness methods applied to government
can bring tax ''relief."

There is one phase of the automo-
bile accident situation that seldom
comes in for consideration-how
many lives has good automobile con-
struction saved?
Four-wheel brakes and non-shat-
terable glass have often made minor
collisions of what might have been
fatal crashes. But the all-steel body
has been the safeguard that has stood
between motorists and death in
many accidents.
A car with steel body trump
hantly met the severest test ever
given an automobile. TWAS released
down runway and plunged off the
end, turning over six times.
The test was repeated thee times
and the car then driven away under
its own power.
Last year over $4,000 people were
killed by automobiles. That was a
horrifying record but was much less
than it would have been with old
styled car obstruction.

SAVE YOUR EYES
By DIR. J. Fred Andreae, Sec.
Md. State Board Optometry
The Ladies' Beauty
The Ladies' Beauty

1 Women in the home and in bust
ness will retain their youth and
beauty longer and maintain proficiency
if they would give their eyes proper
consideration. The fact that one can
see cat down the street and call it
a dog is not an indication of good
vision, and peculiarly those who see
the clearest often do so with the
greatest eye-strain.
Frowns, ugly wrinkles, "crow's
feet" and other handicaps to beauty
often resulted from unconscious
strain of the eyes. Sometimes the
cause may be defective lighting of
the home or office, or it may merely
mean that you are working the eyes
or using them for work for which
they are not adapted or designed,
or possibly the eyes may be strain
ing to overcome a defect which
should be corrected with glasses.
In the series which follows we will
consider ways and means by which
seeing can be made more comfor-
table, by which glasses may be
avoided until a later date, and ways
by which we may bring about a
saving of ''The Ladies' Beauty"

Course In Home Hygiene And
Care OF The Sick

The County Health Department is
anxious to organize classes in differ
ent sections of the county to teach
''Home Hygiene and Care of the
Sick" One female member of
every family should take this course
so that they will know how to pre-
vent sickness, how to handle emer-
gencies (which include first aid) and
intelligently nurse the sick in their
own family under the physicians in
structions.
This course also teaches what they
should NOT do. It creates conf
dence, teaches one to remain cool in
an emergency and be of real help
until a physician arrives, and creates
a feeling of confidence in the home
when caring for the sick.
First aid is also taught in this
course and we all realize that intelli-
gent first aid may mean the saving
of lives. 1t also teaches how to
handle, battle, and feed babies and
small children.
The classes will be conducted by
the County Health Department Nurse.
The American Red Cross course
will be used and those completing the
course will be given a certificate
singed by Red Cross Officials.
All mothers and older daughters
who wish to take this course please
communicate with Mrs. Elizabeth
Yerger, R. NJ, County Health De-
partment, Elkton, Maryland.
