Secretary Hoover, in an address before the National Con ference on Street and Highway Safety, asked for the cooperation of nil interest in an effort to reduce the now rapidly Increasing number of deaths and injuries due to traffic accident. He stated that there were 22.000 such deaths and 678.000 serious injuries last year and that nearly 80 per cent of the highway ac cidenta were due to the automobile. Here is a suggestion for lessening accidents, says the In dustrial News Bureau. In the old days, a road was rounded up like a railroad grade with deep ditches on each aide. Probably two teams passed at a pace of about three or four miles an hour on every five-mile stretch. Today our modern highway grades are largely the same, with a strip of pavement in the center on which scores of automobiles pass in a mile traveling at a rate of speed varying from 25 to 45 miles an hour. With good driv ing, there are no accidents. Misjudgment one way or another, however, and an automobile crashes with another car or goes in the ditch. Instead of digging ditches on each aide of the road, use the same labor and extend the grade and the culvert coverings from the edge of the pavement at a gentle slope to the fence row on each side. In other words, have the curve of the road more like a street. This is possible along 90 per cent of the highways at no additional expense. Thus is the tendency for cars to crowd in the center relieved and consequently the danger of accidents ia lessened. All the rules, regulations and laws that can be passed will be of little or no avail so long as any man or woman can buy an automobile one minute, step into the state licensing department and get a permit to drive the next minute, regardless of his fa miliarity with the car, its operation or road rules. No other piece of machinery in the world is operated on such a haphazard basis. The marvel is that instead of 22,000 deaths a year, there are not 200,000 deaths. Remove the cause and you will remove the accidents. Inter mediary measures will be useless. Compulsory automobile ac cident insurance, or worse yet, monopolistic state , automobile accident insurance, a suggested remedy, will simply encourage recklessness for it will tend to remove restraint from an already careless person. 1 ' ' 0 THE HOMELESS ONES. It was remarked just before Christmas at the Bowery Y. M. C. A. in New York, that there are 60,000 homeless men in that city. This is only a small fragment of the great army that roams about the country supplying the demand for casual jobs at snow shoveling, harvesting crops, lumbering in the woodlands, etc. The fate of the homeless man is one that raises many questions. People who have good homes of their own can hardly realize what it is to be in that position, with no place to lay one's head, as the Savior of mankind said of himself. What should be the attitude of society toward all these roving folks? Do they choose and prefer their present habits of wandering) Many, no doubt, re mere irrdsponsiblcs, fellows who will not tie themselves down to any fixed task. Some have inferior mentality, and no one would hire them regularly. Many must have fallen into that habit from Inck of resolute determination. Many will at tribute their troubles to ill fortune. They will say that if they had not happened to have some run of ill luck, they would have settled down like other people. Perhaps many of these are right. It is not much use to give money to such folks. It may not be best to feed wandering men at the door, but there should be, and there is in most communities, some place where they can at least be given food and shelter. Many of them will talk intelli gently and suggest that their trouble is mostly lack of will. Perhaps a few kind words and a little encouragement would spur a lot of these fellows to quit their drifting ways. Those who talk willi them should tell them that human beings were never meant to roam like wild animals, but that a settled home brings infinite rewards, and it is worth anyone's best effort to work un til he gets it. FIRE The terrible fire at a Christmas celehrntion at I lobart, Okla homa, as a result of which 33 school children and friends were fatally burned, is a tragic reminder of several perils. Inflam mable Christmas decorations with lighted candles constitute a combination which is only to be handled with the utmost care 'There are thousands of smnll halls about the country where con dilions are just as hazardous ns they were in the room where this terrible event occurred. Such a sad affair should lend to better inspection of such places, to make sure that they pro- vide ample exit room. j o i New Year resolutions have been recommended by the! New York Campfite Girla to members of that order throunhotit j the country. They favor giving up of slant;, sleeping with open windows, eating vegetables, playinx some musical instrument, cooking one menl a week, speaking in low voices, playing some game well, creating something of beauty. These ttirls say noth ing about prcttiness, which has been the aim of yirls for all time. Kenl achievement and doing things seem to be their preference. It is a winsome point of view. Cirls who have that idea will gain ninny friends not acquired by mere red cheeks, artificial or otherwise. 0 The fellow who goes out after the business is the fellow who will make 1925 a banner year. Advertising will make it easy sledding. by Tha ruws-Hsvisw Co, tno. ppa.id.nt and Manager Secretary Treasurer I4 0 1.00 l.vo .60 .60 - 1.00 year- 0 PERILS. PRO. Its PICK BY BERT ff.

FARMER SHOULD SOLVE HIS OWN DIFFICULTIES (Continued trem page one.) be faith, eooo) will, patience." "The cooperative association which establlshea grades and standards, encouragea the good and eliminates the poor by vari ety, lncreaaea the eftlciency of production, provides a unified product adapted to Ita market, oi sarnies lis distribution, creates confidence In Its products and Its methods that kind of aa as sociation Is doing the best that cooperation can do." "More than anything else, we! need a generation of farmers trained to cooperation; and to get that we need uule, courage ous, determined leadership and moat of all leadership that will nut desert the farmer, but will stay by him." The supposition that Americans are not the sort of people, who possess the gen ius for cooperation, the presi dent dismissed as In conflict with the whole courso of society. "People who Indulge this kind of nonsense invariably assume that cooperation is a new and comparatively untried formula," he said. "Their whole treatment of It proves mat they have not caught the Idea. They have com pletely missed the forest, be cause there were too many trees growing ail about. They have ever looked the fact that all human eociety is a vast system of cooperatiousand cooperations, it began with the discovery that two people coutd together roll a hoavier stone or move a bigger log than can be done by one alone." "All the way down from theso earliest discoveries to the Ford ; achievements of a motor car i every 15 seconds, the material ! advance of the race from sav ages to chauffeurs has been j merely the development of co operation ana tne aaupiion oi new tools for It to use."

BARNES, 4 Chairwoman of Com. 4 ture to promote orderly market ing and assure return of at least cost of production to the farmer, was urged by . Mr. Lowdenr In discriminate marketing without thought of requirements and at whatever price offered, and mo nopolistic control, the two me thods which are commonly open ed to agriculture, are both wrong, he said. Instead, he as serted, the 'farmer must retain control of the price ol his pro ducts until they reach the con Burner. To accomplish this, Mr. Low. den offered organization to In crease the 'bargaining power,' of the farmers, adding: "Those forces of society re presenting the purchasers of farm products in the main havo become highly organized, while the farmers have made less pro gress in that direction than In any large body of our citizens- ship. They are, therefore, at tremendous disadvantage." Why Corn Market Failed. Citing recent Instances in which proper organization for marketing would have benefitted the farmer, Mr. Lowden said: "It is safe to say that the larger part of the bumper corn crop of 1923 was sold at a prico which did not cover cost of pro duction. If eorn growers had been organized and found that the market would not receive their corn at what it cost them to produce it, they would not have dumped (the larger part of the crop upon the market in a few brief months. They would have sold sparingly.

Humphrey admitted that he had devoted but a short time to the in vestigation. Belief prevails here that the rob bery and murder were committed by local men by reason of their knowledge of conditions in the supposedly secret card room, which was hot under city license.
