70 observ. aFire prevention Day."

To Observe "Fire Prevention Day"
Plans for mass meeting at the
Auditorium in Milwaukee on Fire
Prevention" day wereNmade at a meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Wisconsin State Fire Prevention as
sociation.
The recent gathering at the Hotel
Pfister under the auspices of the ststel
fire prevention organization and the
Milwaukee Association of Credit Men
created such widespread interest that
the Merchants and Manufacturers as-l
ISOLATION has asked the fire preven-i
lion body TO bring Franklin H. Went
worth. Boston, secretary of the Ma
tional Fire Protection association, to.
Milwaukee on Fire Prevention day,
recently designated by Governor No
Govern to be observed on Arbor day.
Business interests in all lines have
been aroused by the campaign for re-
duction OF the fire waste.
The executive committee also con-
sidered the proposition of seeking the
cooperation OF the Boy Scouts in MIL
waukee in the work of fire preven-i
ton This is an entirely new idea,
and if the arrangement is decided
upon. it will create national interest
DR.. Lawrence @. Sykes, chief scout
of Milwaukee, was in attendance and
heartily approved the plan. The mat
ter of having the paid fire depart
ments of the state take up the work
of inspection with the idea Of pre-
venting fires as well as fighting
them, was discussed in detail by the
members of the executive committee.
Secretary w. E. Mccullough. Milwau
kee. has been in correspondence with
the chiefs of fire departments all Overt
Wisconsin, and he reports that much
enthusiasm is shown in the plan. Mem
bers of the Wisconsin State Fire Pre-
vention association expect to have
the new system in operation Within
the near future.

Lure of cities is Depicting Farms.

Dean H. L. Russell of the college of
agriculture opened the country life
conference with an address on coun-
try life. Contrasting the life of the
city with that of the country dweller.
Dean Russell said:
1.-THE farm, which is the basis of
the business activity of the farmer,
is intimately bound up with the farm
home. The home life, from the So
cial and intellectual point of view, is
so closely bound up with the whole
that it is necessary to consider the
two together.
The lure of the city still continues
TO attract an increasing proportion
Of our population Even in Wiscon-
sin, where agricultural conditions are
certainly above the average. where
the price of land is steadily rising,
the population is moving cityward.
The figures of the last census show
that practically all of the southern
part of the state has suffered a de-
cline
He explained how all this wss
made possible through the perfection
OF agricultural machinery. He said
little attention his been paid to
tightening the labors of the farm
woman. The total attendance at the
conference is estimated at $50.

JULlAETTA WILL EXHIBIT

JULlAETTA, April 15.-(Special to

going to be represented this coming
fall at the Latah county fair. 1t has
been a matter of regret that Juliaetta
was not creditably represented at the
county fair last fall, and the progress
sive people here will see that Juliaet-
ia is not again overlooked.
Juliaetta is the garden spot of La
tab county. It produced last year
the monster squash and pumpkins that
attracted so much attention, but the
credit for which was claimed by Ken
drick. The melons in the Latah coun-
ty exhibit taken to Spokane were al
so raised at Juliaetta. This year we
are going to get out and go after
the honors, and expect to take the
silver trophy cup away from Kendrick
Juliaetta has the soil, the climate,
and produces the goods, and with the
farmers determined to make a show

up and go to win the prizes. Keep
your eye on Juliaetta.

and it is the soil. Juliaetta is the

Without irrigation the products of
the benches here in town have sur
prised the world, fer our squash and
pumpkins grow so large that our
farmers accused of taking them. It's
the soil. Juliaetta melons, for size,
flavor and prolific yield, are llnsnr-
passed, and the annual shipments of
this crop are immense. Juliaetta cher
ries are of the highest quality for
flavor, and their size challenges COM

squash have no competition. We have
produced them that weighed 1863
pounds. and last year showed one
weighing 161 pounds in it's stocking

On the ridges tributary to Juliaetta
is farming country that is not ex-
celled in Latah county, and that is say
ing lot. Our farmers do not sum-
mer fallow, but plant beans and corn
and potatoes, and raise hogs, and our
farms thereby yield a good return eve
