CAUSES OF FOREST FIRES

Reports on the forest fires in
aorthern Idaho and Montana state
that 35 per cent are caused by rail
roads, 26 per cent by lightning and
10 per cent by campers, the remaind-
er being due to burning brush and
miscellaneous unknown causes. There
is one frequent cause of forest fires
that is seldom referred to and which
has not received proper attention
from the authorities, and is those set
maliciously and those started by men
who expect to earn few dollars by
helping to fight the conflagration they
are responsible for. AS these latter
are usually started near the railroads
these companies generally get the
credit for the Misunderstanding.

the amount he spends "demonstrat-
ing" crops and anicals to farm men.
Yet Uncle Sam is not poor. He
finds money for studying pretty near
ly everything. For instance, in the
plans of the department of agricul-
ture for this year, l see five thousand
dollars suggested for studying the
habits and manners of "free-living
and plant-infesting nematodes." That
is good. No denying it. Nematodes
ought to be studied. (Some people
call them threadworms.)
see also an allowance for study
ing The diseases of wild ducks in
the Salt river valley" That's good,
too. If those ducks are i'll, they
should be cured. This country should
always have plenty of wild ducks.
One of our own readers, a winner
of one of our prizes in our letter con-
tests on the Smith Lever law, cheers
us by telling this story:

been able to accomplish some good
as chairman of the Great State COM
mittee of our local women's club in
helping to secure for rural women
here a fairer share of the Smith
Lever appropriation. By correspond
ence | found that the share allotted
to our farm women was mere
trifle.'
Looks like strong masculine pre-
JUDGE, doesn't it? But now:
81 interested the president of our
state federation and also our local
club in the matter and we sent a
strong appeal on behalf of farm wo'
men to thep resident of our state
university (Which has charge of oul
agricultural college.) He at once in
vited us to a joint conference on the
subject, declared himself pleased
with our interest and asked for oul
Incorporation in studying the needs
OF farm women, promising to do al
he could for Them
He will keep his promise. AND
the appropriation for women will b.
considerably larger than it was go
ing to be.
Will you read the letter which wol
first prize in our Smith-Lever con
test? 1t is printed at the end of thi
article. We chose it out of hundreds
of really admirable letters because
of it's being so full of practical de
tall 1t makes a picture. Read i
and think if some such plan couldn'
be tried in the city as well as in tn
country.
If you and the other women o
your county really ask, you will re
ceive. And remember:
1t is a matter of the nations foo
supply. 1t is matter OF keepin
boys and girls on the farm. 1t is

preaching, it is farm men that we
must get. Yes. That's it. The wo-
man stands in the shadow of the
man and we don't see her. But she
has the lines of life, of living, in
her hands. And Miss Elizabeth KEEL
LEY, of the home econom cs depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin,
la woman who has lived on the farm
as we'll as in the classroom, hasn't
hesitated to say:
''It is because of the disconnected
wives and daughters of the farmers
that the stream of boys and girls
from the farm to the city has been so
great"
Not disconnected because of having
to work hard. People in cities have
to work hard. But disconnected be-
cause, after all the hard work has
been done. the life of the country
does not seem livable.
But, to make it so, we must look
to the farm woman. 1t is woman S
sphere to make life livable anywhere.
To her is given the sense of the
graceful and the gracious, the ton h
that molds the commonplace to the
Exquisite. 1t is her highest faculty
and her highest mission.
Two things does the farm woman
need today in order that she may go
on to make farm life the most livable
sort of life in the world. Two things
in particular. The first is the "labor-
saving conveniences' we have spoken
of. The second is 'health-saving con-
veniences,"
The department of agriculture
made an investigation not long ago
in Minnesota. 1t was an inVestiga-
|tion of wells. Seventy-nine sources
Iof water used on farms we're studied.
OF of these seventy-nine there were
fifty-nine that were dangerous. They
had been polluted" by impurities
flowing and seeping into them from
around the house and the barn. And
on % farms this pollution" of the
drinking-water had already taken its
tribute of human health and human
life through epidemics of typhoid
fever
Country life is often very much
more unwholsesome than city life
And there is this big trouble about
it:
In the city your sanitation is most
ly attended to for you by experts. In
the country you have to think fol
yourself. And you have to act fol
yourself.
But If there is anything that is il
"woman's sphere" is it the health
of her family. And Uncle Sans wo
men county agents have already be
gun to "sanitate" farms.
There are many records now like
this:
"My daughter belongs to tomato
club and the county agent came tt

BUNCH OF HARD LUCK
Cripple, Has Epilepsy-Robbedi at x.
C.-WaIks to Falls City.

Atchison. Kan. April 21.-Beins
crippled, the victim of a hold-up in
Kansas City and subject to epileptic
fits, which malady overlook him four
different times near the west end fire
station yesterday, was the sorry plight
of young man, about 22 years old,
who would not divulge his name.
This unfortunate young man
claimed that he was en- route from
Troy, n. Y, to Falls City to visit his
uncle, J. j. DIARY, an electrician.
Sunday morning, while waiting at
the union station in Kansas City to
board a train for this place, he was
robbed of all his money and was
forced to walk. He arrived here late
Sunday evening and spent the night
at police headquarters.
Monday, while near the west end
fire station he fell under the spell of
epilepsy, and suffered intensely for
two hours. A physician was called,
and after he had revived the physician
offered to purchase a ticket to Falls
City for him, but the youth refused,
saying that he was afraid that his I'M
Gle might find it out and would not
like it.
He recovered sufficiently to start on
his walk to Falls City.
Late last night the physician who
attended him here received a call from
Shannon, saying that the young man
had again been overcome by the mall
ady.
