WHEN THE GROUND BURNS.

One of the strangest facts observed
in the forest fires which occasionally
sweep over the woods of Northern
Michigan al d Minnesota is the burn
ing of the ground. Falling leaves,
bark and twigs and dying plant life
gradually accumulate in the forests.
The rains and dense shade keep the
mass damp. Moses grow on the sur
face Of the decaying vegetation. The
h~alf-rotted stuff settles down and hard
ems. Trees spring up and their roots
take hold in the peaty substance.
Then comes a season of drought,
and the dampness slowly evaporates.
A hunter or wo ,dman or farmer builds
a fire, or a railway engine drops 4
spark. The dry surface of the ground
is ignited and a slow cancer of fire
eats deep among the roots of the
trees. smouldering for weeks or
months. Then one day a strong wind
springs up. The trees, undermined by
the fire, topple over, their roots throw
ing out showers of sparks and burn
ing masses of tinder-like material.
Flames burst out in every direction,
and, like Il flash, a forest fire is in full
sweep.
The forest fire which occurred in
Northern Minnesota a few weeks ago
broke u in many places at once,
because many of these smouldering
fires We're simply awaiting the gale
which sprang up on October Z. In this
lire aDou 1000 square miles of coun-
try We're burned. The thriving vii
lagos of Beaudette, with a population
OF 1,20O, and Spooner, with $50, were
swept out of e~xistance in an hour.
Hundreds of "homesteaders," carving
their farms out of the forests, lost
their homes and saved their lives by
lowering themselves into wells, or
plunging into streams or ponds. Thir-
ty lives We're lost, and 5000 persons
We're left homeless, with food, live
stock, farm crops and machinery all
gone.
When the agents Of the American
Red Cross reached the burned dis.
trict they realized that winter was AT

with which these houess were erected,

Minnesota. Much remains to be done,
but nobody Is going to freeze or

The generous people of Minnesota
sent in supplies by the carload, and,
what is more, they sent $4,000 in
hard cash to the Red Cross for the
help of the hardy and brave people
who are starting all over again with
characteristic American pluck.

rather buy another hat than reveal his

BACK TO
THE FARM"
V. Social Life In the
Country.
BY c. v. GREGORY.

copyright, 1910. by American Press Asso-
THE social life and amusements
of the country are essentially
IA different from those in the
city. | have heard people say
that there Is 10 such thing as social
lie IN the country, but inquiry dis
closed the fact that they never had
spent much time in a modern. wide
awake farm community. The founda-
ton of all social life is in the home, II
is in she country that the home is de.
veloped to the highest extent. and il
necessarily follows that it is in the
country that the strongest basis for a
healthy social life exists.
The social life of the so called "soci-
ETY." people of the city does not exist
in the country, and it is a blessing to
the country that it does not. Such a
social life is unnatural Social life is
primarily for amusement, recreation
and development. Where is the amuse-
ment or the recreation in the struggle
for social recognition by a clique
whom a turn of the wheel of fortune
has brought uppermost? Where is the
development unless it be the develop
ment of heartaches on the part of the
wife and poverty on the part Of the
husband? Such society, where peo-
pie are measured by their money rath-
er than by their true worth. is snob-
berry rather than social life.
Outside the society" circles the so
cial life of the city consists largely Of
amusements-Coney Island and it's imi-
tators. theaters and public dances.
Some of these things are all right in
their way. They furnish amusement
and recreation. But they do not fur
nish development
Here is where the great advantage
of country social life comes in. 1t is
not furnished ready made to those who
have the price. Social diversions in
the country are made to order. That
is the reason why some people do not
like them. and that is why a person
who once really gets into the spirit of
country social life is never afterward
satisfied with social affairs in which
he cannot have an active part
The social possibilities of the country
are not taken advantage of in all COM

FARMERS PICNIC DINNER ON THE GRASS.
munities, it is true In too many
places each family Is content to live
by itself. with as little intercourse as
possible with the neighbors. 1t is
such communities that contribute most
largely to the downward flow of popu-
lation. With the general waking up of
the farming districts is coming
broadening Of social life. In some
places the local church is the social
center, but too often there are some
members who consider SO harmless
thing as an ice cream supper to help
pay the preacher a sin. AS result
the Importance of the church as So
cial factor is not what it should be.
The most important centers of social
life in the country are farmers organ
izations OF various kinds. Probably
the most important of these. because
the most extensive, is the grange. The
grange has been in existence for for
ty-four years and numbers at present
more than 100000 members. In those
communities where it has obtained a
strong hold it is very effective in bring
ing the people together. In the older
states a grange neighborhood can be
told by the looks of the farms and
buildings.
The plan of the local grange is to
hold meetings at regular intervals.
usually once week in the winter and
sometimes as infreQuently as once a
month in the summer. Generally these
meetings are held at the home of one
of the members. The whole family be-
longs. As a rule, there is a literary
program in connection with the meet
ing. where the boys and girls learn to
talk in public Part of the program is
devoted to agricultural topics. as one
of the objects Of the grange is educa-
tiOn in farming. There is always
enough amusement mixed in, how
ever. to keep the children interested.
In the winter the meetings begin in
the afternoon, and the men look over
the stock and talk over their problems
while the children play and the women
visit"
In addition to the grange. there are
