FIRE LOSS HEAVIER.
Not only have crops of all
kinds suffered in every section of
the nation this summer from the
worst drouth in years, but the
property caused by fires that
started through spontaneous com-
bustion promises to far exceed
the annual total of $20,000,000.
Barn fire* have been common in
all parts of the country, nnd in
a majority of instances the blaze
started in the hay mow. Thous-
ands of dollars worth of hay also
has been burned in stacks in the
fields, so terrific ..Jhas _becn the
beat So far no one has discov-
ered a positive preventive for
.spontaneous- combustion. “Even
the federal experts, in the Depart-
ment of Agriculture have been
unable to find a method for era-
dicating fires of this origin. They
can be prevented in the home by
.seeing to it that rags and waste
material arc not allowed to ac-
cumulate. And since there is
employed in the making of books,! he 8ub^ect- or a Philadelphia

moss-grown ideas in this country,
and one of them is that a law
has to be written in a peculiar
language and twisted English.
Maybe some day a movement to
rewrite them into plain and un-
derstandable words will be start-
ed, and that movement will have
the endorsement of the general
public in every state in the un-

“What’s New in Agriculture.”
This feature immediately became
popular, since it is written in
popular form so that all could
understand it, and it has been
expanded in size, ^mtil in this
issue it coVjCrs _4fi0 pages. The
articles are illustrated and easily
understandable.
To use a common expression,
these articles cover ' all farming
activities from “A to Izzard.”
The activities cover those of the

Then he learned that all great
men have bitter enemies who
think the leader is wrong and try
to down him with much fire in
their systems, and that the great-
er they are, and the higher their
position, the more opposition they
leceivc. Now our specimen under
discussion had a temper'which he
often allowed to go on fearful
rampages and get into arguments
with his peers. He also liked to
run things in a high-hat sort of
way, and as is usual with birds
of this type, his judgment in most
fitters was pretty rotten; in
fact he often took the wrong side
so as to be certain of a grievous
quarrel. Well, the more he read
of the men who now receive pub-
licity only in history -books, the
more he believed„that,,it wa* jeal-

While thc articles cover a wide
range, most of them arc of ex-

sive farmer, for he realizes that
more and more factors are enter-
ing into thc question of farm
failures and successes. And with
the present low price of practi-
cally all farm commodities, more
and more study is required to
bring production to a point where
it will provide a good living,
with comforts and conveniences in

When we get old and hard-
hearted and soured on the world,
especially on our young hopefuls,
we are going to advocate that
our public schools universally
adopt the report card form used
in Bryan, Texas schools. In this
form, opposite the grades is a
column titled “Attitude Toward
School Work,” there are several
squares for the teacher to check.
The points of .attitude placed
there for checking are very re-
vealing to parents and cause the
children much embarrassment and
discomfort in their pursuit of life
and happiness. These points read
like a list of crime in a criminal
court: “Indolent, mean, uninter-
ested, lazy, not overly bright,
learns slowly, etc.”
But as long as believe we have
fairly good mentality we are go-
ing to crusade against this form
of being unnecessary and addi-
tional punishment upon the- al-
ready suffering youngsters upon
whom the torture is being in-
creased year by year in the way
of stricter requirements, more
themes per month and continual
reductions in thc number of hol-
idays.
