When The Thunder Roars
' Several shocking tragedies thus far in the season of thunder
storms have directed public attention to the dantrs of lijrhtnniK.
Every summer the newspapers have to record the deaths oi a large
number of persons who have been struck by bolts from the clouds,
and in many cases their negligence contributes to their late. Not
withstanding the familiar warning, people will continue to take
shelter under trees during thunderstorms, thus forming a part ol
the line of electrical discharge.
Dr. A. 0. McAdie, professor of meteorology at Harvard, has
prepared a list of precautions that should e observed when Jupi
ter thunders. He particularly advises against remaining out m
the open during a stomi. "Get under cover if possible. If this
is not 'practicable, lie down. Don't remain standing." Hut even
when indoors there are ways to promote safety from lightning.
Pon'J. stand in the doorway of a barn or at a window m proxim
i1y, to a chimney. When there are currents of air or winds, Hit
lightning: follows to some extent any draft or column of rising air,
especially warm air. If you are In a trolley car and a flash conies
in,' and burns the fuses with ir roar and blinding flash, sit still.
The danger is over, and while you may be frightened, you are not
likely to be hurt.
p Prof. McAdie's warning concerning the danger of standing near
mi open door or window dining an electrical .storm confirms an
ancient fear that by many has been held unscientific. Hoys and
young men especially are reluctant'to seek sensible cover during
a thundersloim lest they be thought cowardly. It is not brave,
but foolhardy to take chances when lightning is flashing near. At
the same time, children should be trained from earliest years tu
control unreasoning dread of thunder and lightning.

the farms more attractive to the boys and gir
clise to tho soil. Now conies ivnadioally different view, set forth
by the group of economists in conference with the department of
agi iculuire.
Itcfeiiing to the movement from the farms to the cities, this
report speaks hopelully ol this as likely to increase lulure .demand
for foods produced on the faims. The more people there are to
feed in the cities, the fewer, people there are on the farms to pro
duce that food, the better for the farmer. This is the line of rea
soning, and it concerns itself only with the fanner. Along the
same line is the recommendation in the report that wheat acreage
ii the United States be curtailed this coming autumn.
There is no danger, however, of world-wide shortage of prod
ucts of the soil if recently compiled statistics can be regarded as
(uistworthy. Fully one-half the workers of the world aie now
engaged in agiicultuie, according to figures published by the Unit
ed States department of agi icultuie. Of all occupied men and boys
in 23 leading countries, (51. -I per cent are engaged in agriculture,
and of all occupied women and girls, 50.6 per cent follow agricul
tural) pursuits.

information that he will be leturned to the While House at the
eailiest possible moment, is very i egret table.
That such a splendid trip should finish so unpleasantly "is a
distinct sorrow to the people of the west who welcomed their pres
ident in a truly American manner, for regardless of political be
lief 'or party affiliation everyone who met the president and hia
lovable wife were captured with their delightful personalities.
As the days "proceed there will be an anxious people up and

Good Baseball At Home
The Maker-Cove game yesterday, resulting in Cove's ictory
Ihus lying ihe scoie between three teams, was a good game. It
was classy baseball right here at home.
After all, w hen the good old national game is played as it has
been here this summer, the only difference between these games
rut! the big league games is the names of the players.
We will all have a lot of fun watching this finish with each
of three tied teams trying to bag that pennant. '
When Mr. Mok observed that it took ifvidH.imo to induce a man
to fight, he estimated flOO.oni.i as enough to keep men from fighting.
