and it should be simpler than it is to- day. The interests that should unite to draw such contract are the committee on uniform laws of the American Bar association, the state insurance depart ments, the fire underwriterss' organiza- tions and representatives of -he combined trade associations of this state. The state, the buyer, the seller, and counsel are all needed to produce proper con- tract.
 Sound, honest inspection of the financial condition of insurance companies is need ed so that policy will carry It's own state brand of solvency.

 Nor will this good influence stop with the individual farmer. His neigh bors will presently become ashamed not to have equally attractive homes for themselves, and the neighborhoo ood might soon become a neighborhood of painted farm houses, and then this neighborhood might. by the same pro- cess. awaken the emulation of other neighborhoods and spread the good work. still farther.
 Not only is it worth while to paint the farm house for the sake of the beauty gained and also for the sake of the cheering effect upon the persons who live in 1t, but 1t Is also worth while as matter of simple economy Lumber Is already expensive, and be- coming more so all the time, and paint lengthens the life of the lumber.
 The south Is today the only section of the country in which the painted house is not the rule rather than the excep- ton.

 We would like to have every Pro- gressive farmer reader enlist himself or herself in this crusade for well painted homes in the south. Of course, the farm CT who has had great deal of sickness in his family or some similar misfor- tune, or who Is struggling to pay off mortgage, may be excused; but we should like for the painting habit to become so contagious. among all others as to make people say: ''If the prosperous farmer has not painted his house. he Is not reader of the Progressive Farmer And even the man who feels that he cannot yet afford to paint, the small farmer in debt. the tenant. can whitewash his buildings.

rThe writer of this article is the chair man of the fire prevention and insurance committees of the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Hardware association, and the National Association of Credit Men. A fire marshall law, which which embodies many of his ideas, recently passed the Pennsylvania leglsia- ture. The great factory fires Tn New York and Newark give timeliness to his views. Exclusive Service The Survey Press Bureau.)
 The entire fire waste of any country IS a loss which is distributed over the peo- pie at large by tax. This is what we pay for insurance on property together with what is burned up without insurance. How large is this loss which ordinarily attracts so little attention? The t"n-year average of fire losses in the United States and Canada up to 1898 was about s2OOC0o,- %. For 1907 the sum was $215, GOO; Tor 1908. Al ,000. 900; for 1909, $2O4009,000, and for 1910, $234.0O0,OO0. Insurance authori- ties average the loss at s25OO0O,000 year, and they have ample authority for doing so The United States Geodctic Survey Bureau estimates $4OO,00O0OO to be the amount of the fire waste. including the cost of fire departments and patrols.

 broker today must allege that he finds the
 facts as stated, but this should be set forth in detail and not in a phrase. The statement should be signed by the appli-
 cant, indorsed by the broker, and sent to
 the fire marshall. If at the time of the loss it can be shown in adjustment that the allegation was false. let the man suf- fer the same penalty that he does today for presenting q false statement for Icredit. S.!r..

If by making 5000 Improvements saving of 500 in the premium can be effected then the marshall should be able to compel you to do 1t. '-s
 After the state machinery is perfected we need to look after the municipal ordi- nances. In almost every city in this country there is no mandatory limit on the psd condition in which buildings may be kept. A good building ordinance should cover, first, how to put up and protect new building and it should re- quire that old buildings be gradually im- proved The assessor should enclose two blanks which the property owner should pass on to the fire marshall semi-annual- ly alleging the condition of hls buildings. If he has broken any law let hln bear the penalty. Chief Croker of New York has said that of 12,oo0 fires in 19os. 5000 came from faulty compliance With the tanement laws and from filthy cellars and railways filled. with combustible mate rial. After making the citizen so on rec ord we need inspection of property. There is no reason why the active fire force should not use portion of it's time in familiarizing itself with the very places it may be called upon to protect and at the same time stopping disorder and earelessness before fires start.

man life. We, have recently had an eX- cellent sample in New York city.
 | Another element which many shrewd business men do not count Is the inter- ruption of business. A man who pays 1 per cent insurance is paying on the risk so measured, of his building burning. If his building takes fire he loses something further through the interference of his business which has bankrupted many a merchant. Tn regard to these totals nave we any | thing to quarrel about or are they inev- | itable? In six countries in western Eu- rope the per capita fire loss Is 8 cents. while ours Is over 8 or almost ten times as much. If we have all this waste here, with all the damage it is doing, which does not exist in other countries, the most important question Is. Why? We use too much wood in construction and there are too many badly built buildings | Another criminal cause of fire waste is dirty housekeeping not so much in homes as in our places of business. Fortunately all this is changeable.
 | How shall we improve matters? We have today authoritative information about how to build right and now to pre- pare and enforce laws. What we need is more concert of action.
 | In the first place. we want uniform | fire insurance policy. The American Bar association is decidedly of the opinion that it is necessary. The basis or credit | in almost every merchants sale of bill | Of goods is the assurance that the money not paid is protected by insurance poli- | cies. Therefore the contract should be lreadable by all men and identical in es- sentials with the same kind ,f contract everywhere. If you have a thousand ac- counts all over the country, you have not !time to investigate every, instrument or rider. There should be uniform policy

His Painless Method

From Tit-Bits. Before the use of chloroform had be- come so general as it is in our days, a quack advertised that he would draw teeth painlessly. A patient was placed in the chair. the instrument applied to his tooth with wrench, followed by a groan from the unpleasantly surprised sufferer.
 "Stopr' said the dentist Compose yourself. I told you I would give you no pain, but I only gave you that twinge to show you Carter's operation"
 Again the instrument was applied to the tooth, and another tug and another roar
