THE PENALTY OF
: GARELL80NESB
By 8. W. InglisH,
Fire Prevention F^xpert.
Every time you hear the cry of
''Fire!" you can be almost absolutely
safe In thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result of
combinations of preventable things.
When analyzed to the last equation
it will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What a penalty industry’ pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de
stroyer. The wealth of a generation
can be wiped out in but a brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not so conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those of
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
Insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires
RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD BE EXTENDED
By P. P. Claxton,
U. S. Commissioner of Education.
In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length ot
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty
five days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a dif
ference of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
iluin 'l£U i'S’SfSI*. 7n tfiany counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than one hun
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand. In the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
In session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long The country
schools of Rhode Island are in s<«
sion one hundred and ninety days in
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even np the school terms of the
country and give to all country chil
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-five days of
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are conn-'
tries In which the schools, both for
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of any oth
er country, and this applies to the
rural as well as urban districts.
AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By T. N. Carver,
Profeiwor of Economic!. Harvard Unlvernlty.
Every city has its chamber of com
merce or its Hoard of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
to study economic and business op
portunities of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city Does any one know of a
good and sufficient reason why ev
ery rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
in Germany they already have such
organizations They are generally
called the ' landwirthschaftsrath" or
agricultural council. Some students
ot the problem of rural organization
are strongly of tt\e opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering of rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having piore
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capi
tal so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
.the leading farmers of a neighbor
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than if they work secretly,
as separate individuals.
CIVILIZATION'S
GREATEST TRAGEDY.
Extract from article by W. D. l^ewis
president Texas Farmers Union, op
posing womans suffrage:
"We are willing to Join in every ef
fort to elevate woman but will assist
in none to drag her down The de
scent of womanhood is the most awful
tragedy in civilization. As she sinks
she may, like tile setting sun, tint the
horizon wtih the rays of her depart
ing glory. She may tenderly kiss the
mountain tops of her achievement
farewell; she may, like the sinking
sun, allure the populace with her
beauty as she disappears for th<> night
but when she steps downward, the
earth is as certain to tremble and
plunge into darkness as death is to
follow life.'

WHEN
HOT WEATHER
DOES SET IN.
You’ll find a good refrigerator very
profitable. The secret of buying a
refrigerator is to get one so well built
: that heat can’t get in and cold can’t
get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
LEONAND One Piece Porcelain and
THE RANNEY are good Refriger
ators. They have many unusual
i' J', points which cannot be found in any
,i ,j| other make. Our enormous output
