' In the event all ot the districts should vote the taxes proposed, the total sum raised will be S'.I3.5 ll.nti It is not probable that all of the distilcts will approve the tax, so that the amount will probably fall considerably short of the possible figure. Tho meollngs are called by the county court, following the ceipt of petitions from the dis tricts, tho court fixing the time for the road meetings, and arrang ing for publication of notices in the newspapers nearest the place where tho vote will be taken. The road districts In which a special tax Is proposed, together with tho valuation, the proposed J levy, and tho amount' that would be raiseu ure as louowh; Declaring that many rural coin munttiea are too small to support adequate social institutions, Dr. C. J. Ralph), sociologist of the 17. S. department of agriculture, de scribed what he regards as the "ideal" farm community In Its so oioio.is aspects. In addressing the American Country Life assciallon conference at Madison, Wis. "The small rural community," he said, "has little chance to attain high community stnndards ot life. It Is doomed on account of It smallness. I hold that a farm com munity of 10 farms aud 100 fam ilies, like the SB square-mile town ships of Wisconsin and Iowa, Is too small. "A community of at least 1,000' rural families Is needed In order to maintain and support schools, libraries, hospitals, narks, play grounds, churches, fire coinpanles and the like. The tola! population of this cumr.v.:r.uy should be ai least 6,000 persons, and tho mini mum area about 100 square nillos. the outer boundary of the com munity being five to eight miles distant by highway from tne ce ter of the town." In discussing the effect of the docreasc of farm population 01 country life. Doctor Galpln declur ed that although stalls! lea show that the farm population is now 5.000.000 persons less than in 1010. the actual Iobs has hoen 13.000,000 persons, beonuse In tho 20-year porlod (llilO-lllSOl there has also been lost to the cities' the natural population Increase on farms, ap preximatelv 700O)00 persons. Doctor Oalnln said that approxi mately 6.000.000 young men and women between the ages of IS and 25 have gone from farms in the last twenty years, and tnui about 80.000 "prosperous" farmers have moved from farms to cities during the period.

Kvery one I put lift was tho best bridge 1 could build at Hie time; hut I know hat not one of them Is the bent bridge that can be built. I am always seeking to find that 'beat bridge' and I gueas I will go to my grave still seeking II. Then another will atop into my slices to continue the hunt; but the 'best bridge' will lihvays bo Just a step ahead. Tho best of everything on this earth will ulways be undiscovered.

Because they seek a moving "best"; No matter how they strive and scheme, They never will outclimb their dream. Let's join that restless climbing clan Who always higher visions scan ; Who keep ambition still aflame No matter where they've carved their name; Who feel that with each victory won There's something better farther on; Who die with eyes ablaze with light, Arid never once give up the fight. Yhe sky will rise with each success; The climb itself gives happiness; And as we upward course pursue, Kach rung will widen much the view; 'Tis always so in age or youth In every search we make for truth, hach page of knowledge we may learn Will still increase oor power to yearn. If in this mood we do our tank. And ever more of self shall ask, We shall defeat the march of age, Shall brighten life with each new page, Shall keep within our hearts the fire That will not cease to climb- aspire: Shall always have incieiiJiip.;; ze:-;t.

More than 7,000 lives are lost by fire in American homes each year. To safeguard the families and commu nities of this country the Stock Fire Insur ance companies have provided various measures of prevention and protection, through the National Board of Fire Underwriters and other organizations. Such measures include the use cf proper building materials, better building prac tices, the testing of home utilities, light ing and heating devices, fire extinguish ing apparatus, and other services. Department of Building Construction The National Board Committee on Construction of Buildings assembles and distributes the best available information on reliable materials and construction methods. Few indeed are the municipal building codes that have not used in whole or In part the information and assistance of this department. . Fire Prevention Through the Committee on Fire Preven tion and Engineering Standards, the officials of more than 400 cities have received detailed analyses of municipal fire defenses, with recommendations for their improvement. In the smaller cities this work is done by the engineers of other organizations maintained by STOCK FIRE INSURANCE Public use of these services, which are available without charge, has contrib uted to the constant decline In the average cost of fire Insurance in this country for more than twenty years.
