CUTS OR WOUNDS

In case of cut, wound, or crush
ed finger or toe, before any antisep-
tic such as iodine or peroxide is ap-
piled. immense the whole injured
part in basin of warm salt water
(21a teaspoonfuls of Worcester salt
to each quart of water.) Then. with
piece of sterile cotton or gauze
carefully clean all dirt from the
wound. Then apply iodine and
clean dressing.
If the wound looks dity. keep the
dressing constantly wet with the salt
solution. This will help to avoid in
lection and possibly blood poisoning.
Since the solution touches the raw
flesh, be particularly careful to use
a pure salt.

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE LO
CAL COMMUNITY

While almost everyone dilnly rec
ognizes the fact that a newspaper is
a vital element in the life of any
community. few give voice to this
thought simply because they take
their newspaper for granted. Mere
ly entertain the supposition of all
newspapers suddenly quitting. and
some idea of the incalculabie loss
would be secured.
The hometown newspaper, repre-
senting nearly always large invest
ment, is. dedicated first and foremost
to the community. The problems of
the people are the newspapers prob
lens. The success of the communi-
ty is the success of the newspaper
To make the community better
place in which to live. to foster all
worthwhile movements, to Keep a
brake upon radical ideas, to oppose
tyranny to uplift the masses, to dis
seminate news-that kind, which is

spokesman for the people at large,
is the job of the community news
paper.
Few persons realize how much
they depend upon their home town
newspaper to keep them abreast of
the times and to give them material
for discussion which leads to better
understanding of government and
current events. The honest news
paper throws it's energies into all
projects which will aid in the morale
of the home town residents; which
will succor the needy, which enable
the merchants to progress, and
which will make the town a better
place in all phases. Let it be said

THE NEW AGRICULTURAL ERA

1t would be an interesting thing if
a farmer of thirty years ago could
be suddenly transported to The Chi
cago Worlds Fair and shown the
model exhibit of electricity at work
in agriculture.
AS the saying goes, his eyes would
pop out. He would see chickens
treated with ultra violet rays, and
their hours of rest and work con-
trolled by light. Cows in scien-
tifically built lactery are automa-
tically washed and then MIXED by
sanitary, efficient electric equipment.
Electric cooling and bootling equip
ment has superseded old hand
methods. There are no hay lofts in
the modern barn-instead, a large
new type silo, silo within a silo
stores both ensilage and dry feed
and reduces fire hazards. Two small
structures store grain which is
transported by electric conveyor
systems.
In the fields of this farm, he
would see still more startling things.
Even the tractor, thought up-to-date
a short time ago, has been dispensed
with, its place taken by an electric
cable plough which makes it's way
about the field carrying it's own
self-winding cable. There are no
power poles to interfere with work
or mar the farms appearance-all
the Institutional lines are under
ground.
AS matter Of fact, the farmer of
thirty years ago wouldn't be the
only one to stare with unbelieving
eyes at the exhibit. Today's aver
age farm is still wasteful and ineffi-
cient, exacting maximum of hard
labor for minimum of result, The
exhibit at the worlds fair shows
what the farm o. the future will be
like in a really new agricultural
era"

Many Americans are asking what
will become of the bootlegger and
rumrunner should prohibition be re-
pealed. Some bootlegging will per-
sist under any form of liquor regu-
lations. But it may be assumed
that many liquor racketeers will
vanish from the American scene or
will turn their talents to other fields
According to an article in the New
York Times, Charles Francis Coe,
well known as a writer of gangster
stories and keen student of crime.
believes they will turn to other
forms of crime. He attributes the
recent epidemic of kidnapping to the
gangster who sees his liquor reve-
nue. disappearing. If this be the
case, and many agree with Mr.. Gee.
one of the strongest arguments of
the antiprohibitionist is defeated
It has long been the wet contention
that elimination of prohibition
would do much to reduce crime.
This confirms what has long been
apparent to clear-thinking people,
that bad situation is not healed by
merely avoiding it or yielding to it.
The repeal of prohibition would not
eliminate the gangster. Lawless-
ness. under whatever system, must
be dealt with for what it is. Other
wise. instead of committing crimes
against the liquor laws. the racke-
teer will simply seek new ways of
carrying on his parasitic existence.
He must be shown. by persuasion or
punishment, the error of his actions.

A RECENT state legislative bill pro-
. : vided that a track man carrying
bell by day and a lantern by night
should lead all railroad trains across
grade crossings; that conductors must
smile when answering questions; that
1t would be misdemeanor to serve
eggs more than one day old on pullman
cars; that trains be required to stop at

language advertise
ments the telephone numbers Of the
advertisers in English.
Use Of the telephone as an aid to
merchandising features newspaper adj
vertising to remarkable extent.
From : survey made recently by
officials of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Companies operating
in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia, it was
disclosed that over period of thir-
teen days forty per cent of the 4,032
advertisements studied carrying more
than 100000 lines made reference
to the use Of the telephone or gave
the advertisers telephone number
Nearly ten per cent of these adver-
tisements, in addition to giving the
telephone number, made a special ap-
peal to the readers to respond to the
advertisements by telephone. Some
advertisers went so far as to base
their appeal mainly ON their accessi-
bility by telephone and the advantage
that this form of efficient communica-
ton gave the stores in serving their
customers conveniently and quickly.
Telephone users in the area served
by the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Companies last year made more
than 1000, 100000 calls. An enormous
number of these calls were directly
involved in the process of placing the
goods of merchants or their serv-
ices in the homes or places of bust
ness of their customers.
In referring to this use of the
telephone. it was clearly brought out
that no intelligent advertiser or mer-
chandiser attempts to retard a natural
trend in public habit. Every adver-
tiser, it is stated. falls in line with
this trend of public habit and ad-
justs his business to take full advan-
tage of the opportunity. Many alert
advertisers, telephone officials state,
are making it very clear that they
not only welcome calls from their
customers. but that they are well
equipped to serve them by telephone.

EXECUTIVES TOLD
TO REDUCE HUGE SALARIES

For the first time in history man
armed with all the power of the
United States government the other
day called a bunch of the biggest
railroad officials in the country be-
fore him and told them where they
must get off. says the Pathfinder, of
Washington.
This is something so new that
those big-bug rail men didn't know
how to take it. They are not accus-
toned to being talked to that way;
they have always been used to talk
ing to other people that way. No
wonder they were staggered.
Joseph B. Eastman. the Federal
Coordination of Transportation, is
red-headed, and like most red-head-
ed people, he has a good command of
the English language-of the plain
American sort. When he button
holed the members of that big "exec
committee" and told them that their
salaries were altogether too big, he
remarked, meaningly: at will be
easy for you to get your backs up on
this matter but l ask you not to let
that happen. ! am not trying to
bullyrag you or play to the CALLER
les, but 1 am putting the question up
| to YOU"
Mr.. Eastman said he knew that
railroad officials had reduced their
salaries since the big boom days of
1929 but he urged that they should
make much bigger cuts. The pub
lished list of the big salaries include
$135,00O year drawn by Hale
| Holden, chairman of the board of
the Southern Pacific Co.: $121.50O
by w. w. Atterbury. president of the
Pennsylvania; $4,000 by Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore
& Ohio, and many others ranging
from 100000 to 100000 year.
The Co-ordinator said it would
benefit the railroad officials more
than it would hurt them if they
would do the square thing and bring
their salaries down to reasonable
basis. Such outrageous salaries. he
pointed out, arouse the hostility of
shippers. investors. workers and the
public generally. when millions
are out of work and still more mil
lions are living on pittances and
when thousands of investors in rail-
road securities are receiving no re-
turn" it is no time to be taking such
rich rake-offs. he said.

camps.
The 100000 forest workers get a
dollar day SO another 100000 a
day is started ON the way to be spent
somewhere.
The United States Army and the
Forest Service are cooperating close
ly in equipment of the camps. This
means that where the Army has GER
tain items of equipment that the
Forest Service can use they are
taken over for the time being.
Careful estimates show that the
material needed in each camp will
cost about $4,000 per camp. This
means, as 1856 camps have been
approved, that close to $18,672.O0O
will be spent for equipment of camps
and that the manufacture of this
material will give work to many
thousands of men.
The items mentioned are by no
means the total needed, but serve to
show the expenditure of this money
will go toward returning prosperity
to the country.
1t will be seen from this that there
