AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By T. N. Carver,

Professor of Economies, Harvard University
Every city has it's chamber of com
merce or it's 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'
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
in Germany they already have such
organizations They are generally
called the "landwirthschafts 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, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capt.
tai so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighbor.
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than if they work secretly,
as separate individuals.

THE PENALTY OF
CARELESSNESS
BY S. w. lngIish,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry OF
Fire." 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 analysed to the last equation
it will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What a penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of generation
can be wiped out in but brief hour.
Why not fight fires 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 sacrifice he
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 the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
partnership. civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress. she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party.
Woman, remember that the 1sraelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and IN
ashamed.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
lII---Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization. born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for tho human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in.
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegra ply, in it's early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever eXerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization OF its
dav than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
iect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct it's organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree OF American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1915-05-18

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age. we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc.
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowerins in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob.
lens of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex-
press. Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed of the railways of the
world. They stand as monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent larger in
vestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

CIVILIZATIONS
GREATEST TRAGEDY

Extract from article by w. d. Lewis,
president Texas Farmers Union, OPP
posing womans suffrage:
I'VE are willing to join in every ef-
fort to elevate woman but will assist
in none to drag her down. The de-
scent of womanhood is the most awful
tragedy in civilization. AS she sinks
she may, like the setting sun. tint the
horizon with the rays of her depart
ing glory. She may tenderly kiss the
mountain tops of her achievement
farewell; she may, like the sinking
sun, allure the populace with her
beauty as she disappears for the night
but when she steps downward, the
earth is as certain to tremble and
plunge into darkness as death is to
follow life.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
Introductory

"Know America" is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this ma
ton. No man can aspire to higher
honor than to become capable citi-
zen, and no one can merit so dis
tinguished a title until he is we'll in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
