RALPH B. BLACK, Treasurer Newberry County. American Red Cross supplies householders and farmers with a check list of accident hazards in fight against large annual death toll. Hazards shown: top left, mowers, harrows and other farm machinery, left in gear, when making repairs, may result in grave injury to farmer. Top right: pointed shears in the hands of children are as dangerous as matches. Below right: most home acci dents are due to falls, and scatter rugs on polished floors should be anchored . by use of non-skid lining as shown. H OME mishaps kill or injure many more persons than motor vehicles, yet the average householder laces traf fic with misgiving and relaxes at home. Each year hazards injure more than 100,000 persogs engaged in farm work, yet the farmer fails to take safety precautions which the factory worker adopts as a matter of course. Together home and farm work acci dents last year killed 35,400 adults and hildren and injured the staggering number of 4,750.000 persons. To combat this annual accident scourge the American Red Cross launched a nation-wide program in 1935 to acquaint householders and arm workers with the hazards coinci dent with their work and home life. This year more than 1900 Red Cross I a piers are sponsoring this task in he communities they serve. On October 23 the annual Red Cross ::;paign will begin throughout the nation to assist householders to dis cover and eliminate hazards liable to cause accidents in the home. Members of the American Junior Red Cross and their schoolmates will distribute check lists to parents atfd assist in examining their own homes and in removing haz ards. This Red Cross warning reaches more than 9,000,000 homes and farms each year. The Red Cross atresses the need of removing hazard* which may cause falls, as this type of accident resulted in more than half of last year's home accident fatalities. Among chief causes are poorly lighted stairs, loose railings, small rugs improperly anchored and children's toys left about. Burns and explosions cause the next heaviest loss ofjifc. 5.300 being killed in 193S by this type of accident, and the Red Cross self-check list points to the danger of scalding liquids in pots and pans left near the edge of the stove, matches left U. S. CAN NOW SUPPLY ITS OWN POTASH NEEDS Plans have been made by the Gen eral Land Office, Washington, for leasing 6,340 acres of public land in California for the production of Pot ash. The leases will be effected as a result of a public auction to be held in the district land office at Sacramento, Calif., at 11 a. m. Oct ober 19.

Possible Results of This War It is often said that one of the sad dest features of war is that it dem onstrates the inability of people to invent a form of government capable of protecting their interests. Through the ages it has always been the hope that “this war” will be the last the people will have to undergo, but as time goes on wars— instead of becoming more localized and smaller in scope—have grown larger in the number of men involved and have become more inclusive geo graphically. Every conceivable form of govern ment has been attempted: manarchy, dictatorship, democracy, socialism, communism, capitalism. Each has flourished during periods of peace but few have been capable of maintain ing those periods of peace for more than a relatively short time. There is an outstanding exception, to this unnatural condition, which may indicate that it is not the forms of government which are at fault so much as the state of “nationalism” as it exists in Europe today, that is: do zens of separate nations, both large and small, necessarily selfish and jealous of each other, attempting to live their individual lives behind their common boundary lines. This outstanding exception is the United Stated iof America; a vast grouping of geographical entities with different climates, tastes, ideas and modes of living; but having in coki- mon one supreme interest—the cen tral government of the United States. This interest—excepting the four years of our civil war—has held them together in peace and harmony for one hundred and fifty years. These groups are composed of every nation ality, race, color, and creed on earth, of a whole state is descended from In some cases almost the majority one nationality, yet how weird even to imagine Minnesota declaring war upon Louisanna. But if these two state were members of the Euro pean family, they would probably show a long record of internecine warfare. Long before the Great War, one would frequently hear a European express his envy of peaceful Amer ica. Since the devasting results of that war have become so prominent as to be apparent to even the least thoughtful; “grumbling,” in Euro pean countries, has become a habit and changes of government a fre quent occurance. The people are beginning to awake to the fact that there is no way, under the present set up, to stop the eternal warefare to which they are subjected. In other days, when these wars were fought by -pro fessional armies, it didn’t make such a tremendous impression and aid not greatly affect their daily lives. But now that war has come to mean the forcible conscription of every man’s and woman’s life and property, it has become to all the people a thing of terrible import. No one knows what the present war, if fought to a finish, will bring forth, and this is not intended as a prophecy: but it is not difficult to picture a Europe so utterly devas tated that any straw will be grasped at by the despairing people, and that straw will unfortunately not be “Democracy.” That word won’t “sound so good” to them by them. Desperate people will be sick of anything tyhich reminds them of politicians; they will scream against any form 0 f government except a “people’s government”—a “prole tarian government.” That will have a wonderful sound — The People’s Government!

What a picture to contemplate! All Europe under the iron hand of some blood-thirsty tyrant who will call himself “the people’s govern- hardly ( ment.” The only ray of long distance hope, which shines through the murky gloom of this quite possible outcome of a long and destructive war, is the , chance that the people, through sub jugated, will have the opportunity in a few generations, to “breed up” their manhood—which the last war and the present one will have sadly de pleted—and eventually cast aside a tyrannical form of government for a REAL “people’s government”, a gov ernment of the people, for the people and by the people. A United States of Euvope—and peace on earth at last! A hard road to travel for the next fifty or a hundred years, and strewn with the corpses of millions of trust ing human beings who placed their faith in their leaders and in the abil ity of those leaders to solve the prob lems with which they are faced today.
