Local and Personal News of Blackville Schneiders Win inj - U. S. Court at Aiken By Arthur Brisbane LABOR SAVING MACHINES. EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL THOMAS EDISON A YOUNG MAN. 17.000 YEARS FROM STONE AGE ■ ■■ "If a®drop of salt water could talk it would tell the whole story of the Pacific.” One Santa Fe freight tr%in go ing through the Kansas City yards to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas grain fields told the story of prog ress and prosperity in this coun try and promised a solution of its labor problem, aggravated by im migration restrictions. That train of thirty-one cars carried $250,000 worth of “Com bine Harvesters” and will soon be followed by a 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 40,-- 000 men. Employment conditions are not satisfactory in New rork State and Governor Smith instructs pub lic 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 f>is 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. t National and State governments, all needing roads, canals, draihage, all sorts of improvements, should find work for everybody willing to work, and at decept pay. ' Thomas A. Edison says he is really 162 years old, because he has done two days’ work mery day of his eighty-one years. He did ten thousand years’ work when he changed man’s lighting system from kerosene to < >ctric- ity. His habit of working two days in one accounts for the fact that mentally he is forty, not eighty-one. An active mind stays young in man or woman. Women grow old prematurely ^because badly organized civiliza tion gives them nothing to do ex cept. talk and dress when their children. 4 * Eskimos, within reach of civili zation, 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, * Ftance and Britain are watching a Berlin murder trial. Hans Krantz, aged, nineteen, helped his young friend, Scheller, and Scheller’s sister, Hildegard, to pass an evening pleasantly with dancing, tobacco and much drink. Hildegard, only sixteen, smuggled a friend, Otto Stephan, into her bedroom, and Hans, attached to Hildegard, told the girl’s brother he ought to kill Stephan. He did it, then killed himself. The question is, did Krantz com-^ mit- murder when he told his friend, “Avenge your sister's hon or by killing the man”? Blackville, Feb. 25.—S. W.

Local and Personal News from Williston Americans talk today - of many things—prosperity, politics, as sorted crimes^ sports. —News that will .intemst future- generations is the fact that actual moving pictures of human beings were sent through the ether, with- Ynft, wires, across the Atlantic Ocean. Human beings actually saw each other, separated by three thousand miles oT water. If that is done by a race only 17,000 years from the St<*ne Age, who can doubt that a million years hence our race will, see pictures, ctiMiing through the ether, of life on other planets. Mr. Bonfils, through his Denver Post, tells the world he wants “every'family in the United States to own a home, automobile and r;idi»>,’’ because “this would tre- ■ mcndously increase ..the happiness and prosperity of all our people.” • It would have seemed/ prepos terous in Rome to sTTggcst that anybody but the Emperor and a few of the gieat shotild own a* bathtub. There was serious pro tect against installing the first bathtub in, the White House, ofi the ground that it was not demo- 'cratic. The Bonfils trinity of comfort—home, automobile ^and radio—for every family will be realized, plus freedom from worry in hid age. more important than the other three. Williston, Feb. 27.—Mrs. E.
