Every time you hear ths cry of 'Fira!" 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 tbe root whence spring nearly all Urea. 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 tight Area 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 be 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 tbe natural penalty for their own carelessness.

Brewster AND AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL By T. N. Carver, Profr«Eor of Economics, Harvard University. Every city has its chamber of com merce or its Board 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 of the problem of rural organization are strongly of the 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, tn having more 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 I and the profit of their farms.
