Preventing Forest Fires The recent devastating forest fires, their caufe and prevention, is dis cussed in the Jtiiiunry Popular Me chanics.

A healthy and respectable increase is enjoyed by the church, in every department of work. The fi nances are in an exceptionally good condition. New measures were adopt ed to perfect the organization, and for more aggressive work. The one thing that confronts the church so ciety is the enlargement of their church building to accommodate the Sunday school. This clfurch was built about two years ago, and Is already too small to accommodate the people. The enrollment of the Sunday school enjoyed an increase of 80 per cent over last year. Steps are being taken to grade, and classify the school and to put it on a better working basis. The wide awake superintendent, J. W.

' There is no question that good roads in all parts of the country would represent a saving of hundreds of millions of dollars to the American people. There are more than 2,000, 000 miles of roads In the. United States, and less than 8 per cent of the total is In the class known as "Im proved roads," that is, treated with macadam, sand, gravel, clay or other material. A large percentage, perhaps as much as 90 per cent, of all the pro ddcts of the country Is hauled by wagon for a longer or a shorter dis tance. Investigation has shown that the average haul over wagon roads is eight miles and that the average cost Is 25 cents a ton mile. It Is as serted that good roads would reduce this cost to 19 cents a ton mile. The saving on corn alone Is estimated at $12,700,000 a year, on wheat $10,250, 000, and on cotton $5,000,000.
