Fire Prevention Week Of all the observances urged upon the American people, ahs that of Fire Prevention week deserves special notice. Fire is the ever-threatening menace to life and property. The menace always exists and is evaded only by the lucky or thoughtful. One of the greatest boons to mankind, it is an ever-present possible source of tragedy. For example, 3,500 FARM persons lost their lives in fires last year, with losses totaling $10,000,000. These figures do Two or three months ago, Hoover's private battle for this na- not include lives and property lost in America’s towns and cities of 2,500 or less where the money losses ran up to $125,000,000. But it is hard for most of us to appreciate what happens bo the other fellow. Death of another person in an automobile accident causes too few to stop and ask, “Am I next?” The game thing holds true as to fire. Because a neighbor was care- less and suffered property loss, perhaps injury and death, is no reason to assume that we will not continue to be lucky. But luck, eventually, runs out. And in any event it is no Substitute for intelligent care. National Fire Prevention week is designed to make such tare a habit. It is intended not so much to warn as to impress on the public the WAYS of avoiding fires. : Fire Prevention week will be observed from Oct. 3 to 9. Whe best observance that any individual can make of it is to theck his own habits and examine his own property in an effort to keep the fire demon off his doorstep. If he does that he will have done his full share. Science and Industry So-called “practical” people often sneer at scientific achievement, and inquire, after announcement of some technical discovery, “What good is it?” Fortunately, the answer often is at hand if one happens to know it. For example, the meat industry is an intensely practical one. It takes skill and knowledge to cut meat properly, yet the average butcher is as earthy a person as the next one and es far removed from the field of pure science as is the baker wr the candlestick maker. F; 7 Yet every butcher—and every consumer—knows what happened to the price of liver after technical discoveries proved its value in treating certain ailments. Now the fish industry gets a boon from the laboratories. Scientists have discovered what they call protamine insulin, an improvement over the old substance. It is a second long step forward in the treatment of diabetes because it prevents the “insulin shock” too often expetienced by persons taking the old variety. ‘ But it has its “practical” side, too, as though improving human health were not enough. For the prime ingredient in making protamine insulin is the ripe milt or sperm of various fishes, such as sturgeon, salmon, herring, mackerel and rain- bow trout. And who but the fishing industry can provide this ingredient? Supreme Intestinal Fortitude Discussed every so often for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1940 is Paul V. McNutt, former governor of Gndiana and now governor general of the Philippines. Tall, silver-haired and a rival of any movie star for good <p hag McNutt also has the intestinal equipment to carry Just now American newspapers are receiving offers of a News service from the Philippines. It offers to tell, for $2 a week per newspaper, the “inside facts” about the Far East. But the crowning effrontery of the whole affair is that the so-called service has all the earmarks of being a propaganda bureau for Mr. McNutt. Take it from this organization, he is quite a fellow. : ___ It even points the moral by asserting that “the Philippines a a eres De more resident material and government any other post,” and “conserva- bas what ft takes to be president’ = ss 08 MeNutt - . In truth the man should go far. Anyone who has the aupreme effrontery to ask newspapers to pay for publishing his propaganda is unusual. It is difficult, however, to deter- gine the proper direction in which he should go. Better Than Wheat Southern North Dakota and many other parts of the recent drouth area have received sincé June, rainfall which is normal| for the season or above normal. Yet good quality hay is scarce and the price of alfsifa at major markets is rising because of the “dormancy of pastures,” accerding to official sources. In the Pawnee valley, near Lerned, Kangas, threshing of alfalfa seed is well under way with an average yield of three to four bushels per acre and the straw selling for $8 a ton in the stack. The price of baled alfalfa ON FARMS continued at $18 to $20 2 ton. North Dakota has raised alfalfa in the past and can do so again,’ particularly in well-watered valleys or on irrigation. In recent years many of our fiekis have been killed by drouth and cold winters and an effort should be made to restore these— or plant new ones—as quickly as possible. In view of the fact that alfalfa is a practically perfect ration for all kinds of livestock it would seem that this crop deserves more emphasis than wheat. g & E i i i | ! li Hy ah i tle Q H iit fe te uf Hiei i I Ha fi I gPEEeE i i i EF E , iy don fered uF HY j Hz it gate He it f ee oe [i i “14 Abolished.
