Sounds Like a War Story

Everybody who was alive during the World War will
recall the atrocity stories and the remarkable legend of
the amazing devices which the Germans had for the de-
struction OF their enemies.
1t is about time for similar stories to begin to appear
again, with an eye to the situation in Europe and the
development Of a proper attitude toward Hitler and
his bomhastic foreign policies. Hence we are not sur
prised to read in the press that the greatest threat OF
Germany today is the possession of a super-powder
which was used by the 75-mile Paris guns and now
affords longer range to all mobile guns.
Col. Henry w. Miller, who was chief engineer of
heavy artillery with the American Expeditionary Forces,
says it would surprise no one if the Germans, with this
powder, obtain a range Of IL miles with their 75s, COM
pared with a smile range during the World War. The
possession of this 'high-pressure powder says he, is a
threat Of such magnitude that all scientists should
double-quick in the laboratory to penetrate the mys-
terry before the "crisis arrives"
Frankly, we don't know anything about the alleged
super-powder but we think the colonel is unduly al
armed, and that the next war will find the contending
nations about evenly equipped in weapons and NUM-
tons. so far as a scientific basis is concerned. There is no
reason for the people Of the United States to work them
selves into a lather over any tale what the Germans or
any other nation may be able to do in another war.

IS, 900, 900 Facing Death

Suffering the worst anime in China's history, Szech-
wan Province fears that Is OO0,G 900 people may die of
starvation and reports wholesale suicides and mercy
slayings.
An Associated Press dispatch says that tree bark,
roots and grasses have been exhausted and that dying
thousands are cooking and eating human flesh from the
bodies Of those who die from starvation. The head OF the
Nationalist Government attempted to organize relief, but
the report says that little can be accomplished because
of the vast SCALE of the disaster.
Several years ago this part of China was SO highly
developed agriculturally that its 100000 inhabitants
escaped the scourge Of starvation that repeatedly visited
other sections of China. However, due to Communist
raids in the past two years, the area is barren. The in
vaders took everything. Not a sheep, pig, fowl, or crop
remains.
This story from S~zechwan, telling of the dire plight
of a great farming section, illustrates what can happen
in any country as the result Of civil strife and the disor-
ganization of a central government strong enough to
maintain order.
When your old friends come around and begin CIV
ing YOU back the fves and tens you loaned them hive
years ago you can say, with some degree OF conviction
that the depression is being cured.

Making friends is one way to lose money.

Personally, we would be very glad to see the FEEDER
al government get out Of the relief business but we Won
der if anybody else will take care of the needy.

Our own experience is that it is no use to tell any
body our own experience because they will not be sat
isfed until they get their own.

The spring garden fanatics are now gazing in rapture

Now that summer is just around the corner there

points.

Drive Death off the Highways

Have you ever seen the victim OF a bad automobile
accident? Have you ever seen a broken arm with the
jagged bone pokng through the flesh, or the bleeding
nose and ears OF some unfortunate who has been Dashed
up, probably due to someone else's carelessness?
If you have. you no doubt drive a bit more sanely
than a driver who hasn't 1t isn't an easy matter to erase
such a picture from your mind, especially if the accident
has been caused by a fault OF yours. And it doesn't take
much Of a fault when q few tons Of steel moving at fifty
or sixty miles an hour crash into a few more tons tear
ing along al the same speed.
So, Nj. Motorist, if you keep a mertal picture of the
bloody result Of some chance you might take-if you can
sec the grucsome finish Of some unnecessary burst Of
speed which gives you only a few extra minutes at your
destination II you get there. but an eternity beyond the
grave if something slips, you will not take the gamble.
A little thought on your part will save some family
probably your own-a lot Of grief and pain. a little hor-
ror in our minds Will help drive death or the highways.

Prosperity and the Weather

Sheridan county has 50 far been blessed with ample
rain but It is reported from Washington that drouth con-
ditons throughout a large section of the wheat country
Of he West are very far from cheering. 1t is a little too
early, perhaps, to be definite about it, but there has been
a serious shortage Of rainfall this Spring, the Department
Of Agriculture reports, with a possibility Of material crop
curtailment unless there are ample rains before the early
part Of June.
If the weather is normal in the great agricultural re-
gions the farmers income this year will be close to S.
600 100000, the Government estimators believe. This
would mean real prosperity. A serious drouth might well
result il a severe setback to the steady progress Of the
country. Peoples memories are short. Few now think of
he drouth Of 1930-31, which was one Of the most i'm
portant elements that contributed to the economic de-
preston in this country. Nature has always had a great
deal more to do with economic changes than politics.

HealHL
THE WONDERS OF ADRENALLN

Adrenalin is a substance which is
secreted by two little glands situated
just above the kidneys. II has many
uses in medicine though it is quite
costly, because it takes a herd of cows
to obtain a small amount of this val
liable secretion.
There have been cases where people
apparently dead have been restored to
life by the injection Of adrenalin. To
all appearances they were dead, they
had ceased breathing, no heart beat
could be elected by any known test,
and the body was beginning to grow
cold. 1t is safe to say that if adrenalin
had not been used that they would
have remained dead. When people
have died from chronic disease of the
organs, no amount of adrenalin would
have any effect in restoring them to
life. The only cases that have respond
ed to this treatment have died from.
sudden shock caused by bullet wounds
electric current or some other similar
cause.
There is an interesting case recorded
in the police dockets of Detroit, where
a negro was shot by a policeman. He
died without making a statement. Doc
tor Fremont injected adrenalin into the
heart of the dead man. Finally his
pulse began to flicker, he breathed and
opened his eyes. He was questioned
concerning several hold-ups. He told
of some of the activities of the under
world. but at the end of five hours COL
lapsed and died from hemorrhage from
his wound.
Many linemen and others who have
passed out from electric shocks have
been brought back to life from the in
lection of adrenalin directly into the
heart itself.
There are a number of cases on rec
ord of people having been brought
back to life by the injection of adren-
alin. Some of them have lived for
many years after. Adrenalin was the
first gland substance to be discovered,
A Japanese physician, Jokichi Taxa
mine, was doing research work at the
Parke Davis laboratories when he
found it out. 1t is used to stop bleeding
and has many useful purposes.
In fact all the glands of the body
create very important products which
are necessary to life and health. The
thyroid gland for example regulates
many body functions. When the gland
becomes diseased the whole body is
sick. Regular habits and the right food
are necessary to the proper function
ing of the glands, without which no
one can enjoy good health.

able publicity on AAA payments, they
want TO emphasize that tariff benefits
to manufacturers justifies payment OF
farm benefits.
President Roosevelt outlines his pol
itical philosophy in favor of higher
wages for workers, more income for
farmers, more goods produced, more
and better food eaten, fewer unem-
ployed, and lower taxes" Speaking in
New York City, the President stressed
the nter-dependence of the jewellers
in cities and those who live on the
farm. insisting that prosperity must
come to both together, inasmuch as
they belong to the same economic
pattern" The success of his admins
tration's efforts to help farm and
working men could be proved, he said,
by comparing the financial pages OF
newspapers Of 1886 with those of 1882.
Answering critics who complain of the
cost of rebuilding America" the
President said the deficit of $1,000
100000 this year is more than offset
by the fact that "the national income
of the people of the United States has
risen from thirty-ive billions in the
year 1882 to sixty-ive billions in the
year 1886"
