r. ■: RURAL FIRE PROTECTION
|
Out of the Central West comes a new move in the field
erf rural
which ea
fire prevention, that promises to reduce lire waste
to each year takes a toll of one hundred million dollars of
faith property.
fThe rural districts have stood defenseless against fire un-
• 2ess.by lucky chance the fire should be discovered in its early
stages when it would yield to the primitive method of dousing
it #ith a pail of water. For many years towns and cities have
more and more efficient fire protection, from the
hand apparatus to the gast motorized equipment,
fle rural losses have attracted much attention and
valuable educational work in the field of fire prevention has
been done by the Agricultural Committee of the National Fire
Council and other organizations, there has been, un-
til now, no systematic movement to extend organized fire pro-
tection to the farms. Manufacturers have now developed ef-
ficient motorized equipment especially adapted to farm serv-
ice,-and the greatly improved roads make it possible for this
equipment to be moved rapidly from headquarters to the
scepe of the fire within a radius of ten miles.
s.The Farm Underwriters Association has given standing
to sural fire prevention by setting up standards for rural fire
department equipment and organization and by incorporating
in fbe farm rate schedules a credit to farm property where
these standards are met.
|This has given an auspicious start to a development
which is likely to be far-reaching in its good results. The sup-
porters of this movement visualize a healthy growth of rural
firej protection districts until most of the farms of the country
wiljjshkre with the towns and cities in the benefits of ef-
fective motorized fire departments. A reduction of the rural
fintiwaste by half would result in the saving of a hundred
million dollars of property loss and thousands of lives an-
nually.
. ^Endorsement by the United States Independent Tele-
phone Association which proposes through its thousands of
individual companies to work for the more rapid promotion of
fire protection districts, lends additional strength to this
mo^enjent.

SIGN-UP PROGRAM
# t
• Farmers who sign-up for the 1937 Agricultural Conserva-
tion Program-are riot absolutely required to participate in
that program. Of course, if they fail to participate they fail to
reqplve the benefit payments. Every farmer should sign up
however. When they sign up they then have the privilege of
planting sudan or peas and receiving benefit payments in
th^ event their crops are destroyed by storm, floods or hail. It
Is to the advantage of every farmer in the county that he at
least sign-up in this campaign.
5lf you are not familiar with the minute details, get in
todch with your local committeeman. He will be glad to ex-
plsyjn the program to you and assist you in filling out your

’“Note the meeting places and dates for the various meet-
ings in the Weekly section of today’s Record and join in this

One of the best bits of advice we have seen lately is the
adyice to plant trees to safeguard the loss of soil. Plant trees
hi jflraws and stop the washes, plant them on the farms t,o
hold the soil, plant them in the towns to take the place of
thwe which have died or have been foolishly cut down. Plant -
ing;trees is something each individual can do for himself
without government aid or direction and no greater benefit
wifi accrue to a town or farm property. *
Two pensions are still being paid on account of the war of
18IB, Which occurred as you can see, 125 years ago. By the
same token America will be paying World War pensions for
a hundred years. If the past is any guide we will have engaged
in other wars during that period thereby insuring the pen-
sion paying program to be well nigh continuous. War not
only plays havoc with the generation in which it occurs but
continues indefinitely to exact its full toll.
We’ve looked over all the plans offered for farm relief. It
seems to the writer that the best plan would be arrange it so
that when prices were low there could be a drouth and a
crop failure. When prices were high everyone would have a
bumper crop. And that plan is about as sensible as some of the
plans proposed to date.

CHAPTER 11
"YOU’D HAVE anything you
wanted, Jacqueline, if you married
me,” Jim Asson argued. “You
could live where you like and have
what you like and do what you
like. I can’t say more than that,
can I?”
"Can’t you? Try, Jim.”
He glanced at her with a puzzled
?xpression on his face.
"If there’s anything else you
want, Jacqueline . .
“There is.” *
"Then you’ve only to mention
it.”
She smiled.
“You don’t read very much, do
you, Jim? Novels, I mean. You
can’t, or you wouldn’t need remind-
ing that when a man asks a girl
to marry him it’s usual to tell her
that he loves her. It may not be
true, but it’s polite convention to
say it, at all events.”
“Yes, of course—but I thought—
I mean, that goes without saying,
Jacqueline. You know I’m fright-
fully fond of you.”
She was shaking her head.
“As a matter of fact, Jim,” she
said, “it’s the one thing in the
world that never goes without say-
ing. Still, we’ll take it as said.”
She rose from her chair. ‘Thanks
very much, Jim. It’s quite the
most original proposal I’ve ever
had.”
He stood up, took a cigaret from
his case and tapped it on the back
of his hand.
“And what’s the answer, Jac-
queline?”
“I haven’t the faintest idea. I’ve
got to work it out—take the minus
reasons from the plus reasons—
and it’s too complicated to do in
my head. Let x equal the un-
known quantity of affection. . .
"Hang it, Jacqueline, I’ve told
you I’m frightfully fond . . .”
“All right, Jim,” she smiled.
"Don’t worry. I’ll find the answer
■all right, and as soon as I’ve found
it I’ll let you know."
"But can’t you tell me now?” he
persisted.
She shook her head.
“It’s pretty rotten, waiting and
not knowing and wondering all the
time . . .”
"Sorry, Jim, but it can’t be
helped. There’s x and y to be
dealt with. I can make a good
guess at the value of x, but I’ve
j (still got to discover the ’why’. I’ll
tell you as soon as I know my-
.?elf.”

-J:'

and savagely struck a match for
his cigaret.
And there, a few minutes later,
Colonel Lutman found him.
’’Well, my dear James?” he sa*l,
snvling affably. “Does one con-
gratulate you?”
Asson gave a shrug.
“I’m hanged if I know.”
! , Lutman raised his eyebrows, and
his monocle, as if in protest
i against his taking such a liberty,
I slipped from his eye.
. "Surely, James,” he aald, "you
can’t so soon have forgotten
whether a charming young lady is
betrothed to you or not?”
*T tell you I don’t know,"
snapped Asson Irritably. “Of all
the cold-blooded, calculating, sar-
castic little devils!” He made a
gesture of impatience. “She
wouldn’t say yes or no, Lutman.
She wants to work it out, she says.
She’ll tell me as soon as she knows
herself.”
“H’m!” said Lutman. "It’s a
pity, but it can’t be helped. Time
is precious, though, and you must
be importunate, James. You must
hover around her like a love-sick
shadow’, melt her, heart with your
pleading eyes.”
"Oh, shut up, Lutman. Tm fed
up with the whole outfit.”
“And in the interim,” continued
Lutman imperturbably, holding out
his hand, “I will keep the expen-
sive engagement ring in my waist-
coat pocket.”
Asson glanced up at him, scowl-
ing.
"What’s the great idea?”
Lutman smiled.
"There is a pawnbroker’s estab-
lishment in Cobenzil, my dear
James,” he said. “I noticed it this
morning.”
“I don’t get you, Lutman.”
“Nor the price of the ring,
James. Hand it over.”
With a scowl, Asson took the
ring from his pocket and laid it
on Lutman's open hand.
"You’re a nasty suspicious devil,
aren’t you?”
Lutman slipped the ring into his
waistcoat pocket.
“My dear James,” he smiled,
“you must try to forgive me. I
once lent you a gold cigaret case."
Jacqueline did her best to work
out the problem which Jim Asson
had set her, but she found it more
difficult than she had expected to
arrive at a definite answer to it.
armchair again#She considered it from her own
point of view’. The advantages
were obvious: no more pinching
and scraping; an end of this con-
stant wandering about Europe;
security, a home of her own, an
assured income for her mother.
Against all that must be set the
fact that she no more loved Jim
Asson than he loved her. But was
it necessary to love him?
For several days she could come
to no final decision. Each time
that Jirfi Asson begged for her an-
swer she replied that she was still
working It out and he must wait.
Why, she asked herself again and
again, did Jim want to marry her?
She could not get rid of a sneak-
ing sort of feeling that there was
something behind it which she did
not understand; that, in the list of
good reasons why she should marry
him, the reason for his wanting
her to do so was not included.
What that reason might be, how-
ever, she could not even guess. i
She was setting on the terrace
one afternoon, frowning at the
river as disapprovingly as her
mother had frowned, when Colonel
Lutman seated himself in the chair
next to hers.
“And what has the Danube
done,” he asked, “that a charming
young lady should frown on it?"
Jacqueline glanced at him and
smiled. She always found Colonel
Lutman rather entertaining.
“I w’as just wandering, Colonel,”
she said, "v h:' :r it’s better to be
broke to the wide on the banks of! .
the Danube or to have plenty of
money on the banks of the
Thames.”
Lutman nodded.
“A very interesting speculation,
Miss Jacqueline. And the conclu-
sion?”
She shnfgged.
‘Tm hanged if I know.**
“No?” He smiled. “Experience .
has taught me that, provided one
has plenty in one’s pocket, the
banks of the Styx, or even the
banks of the Thames at Rother-
hithe, can be quite a pleasant spot,
and that without money it doesn’t
matter whether one is on the banks
of the Danube or the Rhine or the
Mississippi or the Nile, since it's
equally hell anywhere.”
“Money Isn’t everything, Colonel
Lutman.”
He smiled Indulgently.
“If I may answer one platitude
with another, Miss Jacqueline,
money may not be everything, but
it is the price of everything that's
worth anything. Even of the bare
necessities of life. One can’t even
have a bath without money.”
She glanced at him quickly, but
he was smiling guilelessly at the
end of his cigar.
"And, speaking of money. Mist
Jacqueline,” he went on, “you must
forgive me for broaching a rather
delicate question. I am, as you
may know, young Jim Asson'*
trustee, and he tells me that he
has asked you to marry him,”
