Fire Protection in Schools

Prompted by recent school disaster
the state fire marshal has issued the fol-
lowing public statement:
A short time ago twenty-one little
children were burned to death in a
school-house fire at Peabody, Massa-
chusetts.
Ibis department wishes to issue a
warning that such a terrible accident
could happen in some of the school
houses of Minnesota. This statement
Is not made for the purpose of causing
uneasiness for the parents OF Minnesota
school children, but to again impress
upon all persons concerned the necessi-
ty of eternal|y being on their guard for
fire prevention.
In saying that it "could" happen, we
do not wish to convey the Idea that it
will, but the possibilities are there just
as sure as the following rules for school
buildings are neglected.
Keep conducting fire drills. II the
children become panic-stricken when a
lire drill is called, repeat the drill often
or and the pupils will become accustom.
ed to leaving the building in an orderly
manner.
Keep all combustible material either
IN 6re-proof receptacls or refuse to
have them in the vicinity of the school
house. Keep all stairways clear. Keep
all doors and windows leading to exits
and to fire escapes always unlocked dur
ing school hours. Keep landrails on
both sides of stairs.
Remember, the first report of the Pea
body school fire was brought by pupil.
Teach the pupils the necessity of always
being prepared to prevent fire by hav-
ing them report to the teacher anything
which they deem hazardous-in this
manner the Children will feel that they
are being depshded upon to prevent ac-
cidents- they will appreciate the
confidence bestowed upon them.

Why, jeff!

jeff Livingston, who in spite of the
fact that he is the president of the great
Snider Preserve Company and million.
aire,t tis as democratic as his first name,
was once poor boy and wore his rags
aud patches with the rest of the "kids."
jeff occasionally finds time to indulge
in Il little literary work and his most re-
[u1nt etfusiUn is founded upon an Incl
dent in his early career. Here it is:
Two ladies gay met boy one day;
his legs were briar scratched,
His clothes were blue, but nut-brown
hue marked the place where his pants
we're patched.
They bubbled with JOY at the blue
clad boy with his spot OF nut-brown
hue.
"Why didn't you patch with a color
to match?" they chuckled, "Why not
with blue?
''Come, don't be coy, my blue-brown
boy, speak out" and they laughed with
glee;
And he blushed rose-red, while he
bashfully said, "That amt no patch;
that me!'

OCTOBER EXPORTS

New York, Nov. 14.-The greatest
volume of exports ever recorded at
a single port in the history of the
<aited States left Ne":z> s4sA i.a.ss s;.,s
during October, mostly for the war:

estimates made by customs officials

The total, based on tabulations that

The Meaning of Home.

Elizabeth Woodbridge in the Atlan-
tic: 10 say of the home which marriage
ought to create, that it is a mans king
dom, a childs paradise, ard a woman's
world is to blur it's meaning. The
home is no ones kingdom, no ones para
disc, and no ones world. The only
kingdom it resembles is the kingdom of
heaven, because it is within you. Home
is dependent for It's reaIlty-and it's
reality is as deep us anything we know
upon condition of spirit. It is indeed
embodied, or at least shadowed forth,
in this or that physical symbol-the
sheltering roof, the fireplace, the COM
mon table-but it is dependent on no
one of these, For Omar, the symbol
was the loaf, the jug and the book; for
Deirdre and Naisi it was the tent 'as IT,
dy as beehive or linnet's nest,' or the
open sky among the snjpe and plover.'
Home means love and companionship
and mutual dependence, the spirit of
common service and of common loyal
ty. It may be achieved by husband
and wife, or by a family, or by two
friends, or even by a single person who
has the home feeling toward the world
without. To say that it Is the woman's
task to make the home is to miss it's
most exquisitive meaning. No one of
the group can make the home. though
any one can mar it. It must be made
by all, for the uses of ALL

"Fear Meh."

Bradstreet's is authority for the state
ment that only three per cent of mon
who go into business for themselves are
successful. 1t is safe to assume that
the proportion of successes in other
fields, art, music, authorship, politics,
social work, etcetera, Is as small. The
failures are made so through fear. Fear
of consequences, fear of the future, fear
that we cannot finish successfully what
we begin, fear of our opponent, unneces-
sary, Illogical fear stands between us
and success, and with an apparently
impossible arm bars our progress.
Those whom fear rules we call "Fear
men," because they are not really men
at all, but mon requiring a classification
An opology. There has hardly been a
time in American history when men
were called on more to overcome their
fear than at the present time. Moral
strength is needed in politics more than
ever before, and moral strength is as far
superior to physical strength as the
spiritual is above the natural. It is
told of Wellington that, before the bat
tie Of Waterloo. his knees shook so that
he laughed and called attention to them,
say, III they knew where was going to
carry them, they would shake much

life insurance companies are receiv- ing upon their farm mortgage invest ments. because we find the average rate on an our farm loans to be about 5.55 per cent. This is indeed surpris- ing when we learn that farm loans average, with companies chiefly en- gagged in making such ioans, but S2, 800 each, while the city and village loans of companies chiefly engaged in making such loans, average S75.000 each. and yield an average interest re- turn of 5.18 per cent.
 Lenders of money are beginning to
 realize that they should give consider ation to how capital supplied by them
 is going to be used, whether Co pro- vide luxuries and encourage extrava, gance. or to improve values and in- crease income from the properties talk en as security. The rule applies alike
 to city. village and farm properties. and ! believe the time will soon come If 1t has not already arrived when there will be a better understanding and closer cooperation between bor- rowers and lenders, Co the end that borrowers may be better enabled to meet their obligations at maturity. and lenders may be made to feel more secure in the investments they are ! making"
