CARRYING ON
If the newly named Farmers
Home Administration will continue
to handle the long-term loans where |
tenants can purchase their own
farms, with the i>fficiency of the de-
ceased Farm Security Administra-
tion, it will be of satisfaction to
many. The FSA did cost the tax-
payer money to maintain it and in |
spite of much criticism its mistakes |
were over-balancad by its farm ser-
vices. The man who had to feot the |
bill for its functions has seen much |
of its effective and helpful measures
in his own country. There was.
much political opposition to the FSA
and there will naturally be much to
the new organization. But, that
there will be some good coming
from it, through opposition and be-
cause of it, we don’t doubt.

Jong the driveway. Locusts, gold-

tastes where God wills this glorious

Causes and Prevention of
Home Accidents Listed |
Falls on stairs, from porches and |
ladders, and on slippery floors and
sidewalks are among the chief
causes of home accidents, the Na-
tional Safety council points out,
adding other reasons:
Burns by gasoline and kerosene,
matches, smoking in bed, and
steam and hot liquids; suffocation
by bedclothes, and baby sleeping
with adults; firearms from playing
with guns and examining or clean-
ing guns; poison gas from stoves
badly vented or otherwise in dis-
repair, and gas failing to ignite,
and poisons from failure to identify
the bottle before taking medicine,
and harmful substances left within
a child's reach.
Home accidents can be prevented
by: repairing stair treads and |
bannisters, installing handrails, in-
uring adequate light, and remov-
ing ice and snow, or spreading sand
never using
sene to start fires or dry-clean,
or ® salts
and never smoking in bed;
ever using heavy blankets or
tening them on a child’s bed or
ising pillows in a child's bed and
ways treating a gun as if it were
ded. Unload and lock up all
guns in the house.
Find Small Percentage

Savinss deposits and U. S. bonds,
conomists of the department of
agriculture interviewed about 3,000
