Starting Fires with Kerosene.

In the first six months of the year
1914 more people were burned 20 death
in the state of Illinois by starting fires
with kerosene than from any other
cause.
It is an exceedingly dangerous prac-
tice, warns the state fire marshall's
bulletin. SO many fatal accidents were
reported that in some counties the
coroner OF the county, who was called
upon to investigate these fatalities, is
sued warning through the newspapers
calling the attention of the people to
dangerous practice of starting fires
with kerosene. In the county OF
Stephenson, Illinois, five deaths were
reported IN the period of one veai.
Kerosene should never be poured
from IA can into stove under any cir
.cumstances. A stove may he warm
or there may be n coal of fire left in it..
and in either case serious explosion
is likely to follow. Besides the liquid
kerosene in the can there is always
present a highly infiammable and ex-
plosive gas. If the stove is warm or n
few Goals left in IL, this gas may ignite
and a serious explosion occnr, IN which
the person starting the fire is likely to
be burned to death.
Kerosene starts Il fire in n hurry
1t produces about six times as much
heat as does wood in burning aud it
can be readily lighted with match.
Consequently it is unreasonable TO ex-
peet that it's use in this connection
will be entirely discontinued The
only reasonably safe course to follow
If kerosene must be used in starting
fires is to pour the kerosene on the
Sindling before placing it In the stove
Remember. the less kerosene there
is in the can the more room there is
for the explosive gas and consequently
the greater danger of an explosion.
More than forty people were burned
to death in Illinois last year by start
ing fires with kerosene.
Never under any circumstances pour
kerosene oil into "a stove.

A Broader Sphere for RelIeion---New
Field for the Rural Church.
by Peter Radford


Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty Of the rural church
Is as much part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest. the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
1t is expressing a true religious In
stinct and the olStime idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to broader interpreta-
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place In the succession
OF those who have sought to make the
world fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty OF the
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals Of
service, the rural church which It.
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as It can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the com
munity, II an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure Of a
rural community is exceedingly com
pick; 1t contains many social groups.
each of which has its own center. but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
church cannot command tie ihter-
est Of all the people, 1t is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities

and bounds. All classes of people are
finding that prosperity is being passed
around as never before.
The American Potentate

There are men in this world--yea
there are men right here in this town
and in every other town-who would
he mad, and would really feel insulteJ
at being set down as thieves, but to
whom such name would in reality be
most polite appellation very
gracious compliment. They are the
class commonly known as dead BEATS
They are meaner than the common
thief just in the proportion as the
confidential clerk who robs his employer
is meaner than his less cowardly bro
Their in crime who breaks into the
mans house and robs him.
And yet what difference the law
makes in the two.
A fellow goes into the store and
pompously calls up a clerk or pro-
prieter and orders whatever he wants
and tells them to charge it and take it
down to the house. He represents
that he is able and willing to pay his
bills and viii do so at. stated periods
or when presented. He knows that he
is liar and sneak; but he has beat
everybody who has ever had anything
to do with him, and that he never
pays debt unless he thinks it policy
to do so in order to get in deeper, and
that whatever money he has he blows
in in extravaganza or dissipation; any
how, he lives beyond his means. or for
some reason doesn't get enough to sup
port himself or his family in the style
desired, and instead of getting aid from
the proper sources if needed, or send
ing his family to the poor house, so
that he may bear the burden alike, he
picks upon certain individuals to sup
port them without any .recompense
whatever. And if this grocery mem
toned; after going to all the expense
of help to wait on this fellow, book
keeping, deliver the goods. ETC., to say
nothing of the goods themselves,
wants his pay as promised, what does
the law say about il? Simply that if
the man has large amount of surplus
property to be available he can be
made to pay, bnt IL he is sharp enough
to keep his income collected mp reas-
onably close he is responsible to no.
body and nothing on earth. lie may
assess any man whom he can deceive
for the support of his wife or his child
rem or himself, feed them with food
and dress them in clothes belonging
to somebody else. Such is the province
Of TIVE only American potentate who
need account to no one-the dead

Everything indicates that 1915 will
be most prosperous year for all who
are so fortunate as to live in America.
James NJ. Pierce, editor Of the lead.

1t shows that American foodstuffs are
being exported in record breaking pro-

Our beef exports for September were
eleven times that of the same month

Our canned beef exports for Sep.

Our wheat exports for Septem be,

Our exports of oats for Septembe,

Our barley exports for September
increased from $4,000 bushels last yeal
to $4,000 bushels this year.
Our exports OF refined sugar fol

Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth.
DDS by which human society mas de.
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another Is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play Is the chief
educational agency in rural commun.

childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved AS individuals
come together In social gatherings.
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con.
stitute cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected So
ciety must use in a refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
of the universal instinct for play.
II the. church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among lis membership. It win
I'LL a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward By promoting a
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood.

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have. as q rule. a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity of providing entertain
ment, as well as instruction, to its
membership among the young. The
children and young people Of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. It has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out OF the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young but the social requirements of
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk.
ing bee. the quilting bee and the sing.
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social Instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form Of clubs. parties. pic
mics or other forl1s of amusement.
One thing is certain. and that Is that
the church cannot take away the
dance. the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in its place sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

Conservatism ana Business Depres.lons


Conservatism in the management oil
both ones business and ones private
affairs may be said to have been the
key-note of Mr.. e. J. Kearney's talk tC
the Mems Club of the Wauwatosa
Methodist Episcopal church Jan. 10.
Business" was the topic of the even
ing. Periods of depression, Mr.. Kear-
ney said. were as certain to come as
winter aud they were as certain to be
followed by seasons of prosperity as
winter is by spring. But if business
were conducted more conservatively
during prosperous seasons the hard
times would be considerably minimized.
For example, a manufacturing com
pany employing, say, 100 men under
ordinary conditions enters an era of
prosperity and receives orders reqnir-
ing 200 men. The management tries
to fill all orders aud disturbs it's or
ganiEation with the inhure of a large
proportion of new men, usesits reserve
capital, and extends its credit facilities
to the limit. When the slump comes
this and similar concerns are unpre-
pared for 1t financially and again dis
rupt their organization ana disturb
general conditions by dumping large
numbers of men on the labor market.
The conduct of ones private affairs
should be equally careful. There is
only one way to meet the high cost of
living and that is to live within ones
means.
The stock market, Mr.. Kearney said,
was good Indication of how business
was trendiug. A rising market was
usually followed in about six months
by an increase in orders and descend
ing market in about the same period
by falling off in orders. The speaker
also thought that political conditions
were more favorable for business than
formerly. The important thing for
business man to know was what laws
business had to follow. When these
were determined business could go
ahead and follow them. Uncertainty
in this respect was disturbing. Re-
cent events indicated change in atti-
tude of the public toward the railroads,
the largest single business in the
country.
In the general discussion which fol-
lowed, J II. Gage said the reports of
large shoe orders placed in this country
by the Allies were misleading. lie
had heard of only three such orders
and they we're Improbable. England
is manufacturing the bulk of the shoes
for the Allies. Shoe manufacturers in
this country had been hard hit by the
war, having con tracted to sell their
product at certain price and then
being compelled to buy leather in a
sharply rising market The tanning
Industry. he said, had been greatly
helped by the war.
4. j. Sievers, head Of the Milwaukee
County agricultural School. said that
education of the farmers sons in agri-
cultural subjects in the rural schools
WAS being counted on to keep larger
proportion of country boys on the
farm.
