AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By r. N. Carver.

Professor Of Economics, Harvard University.
Every city has it's chamber of COM
merce or its Board of Trade. The
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 Observation-Disclosures 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.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY P. p. claxton,
U. S. Commissioner of Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length OF
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty
five days; in. rural communities one
hundred and t~hirty-eight days, a diff
ference of f~orty-seven days. In some
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than n hun
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hsnd, in the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in a year. and in several other
States almost as long. The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses-
sion one hundred and ninety days in
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-five days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun-
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
bred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need AS
much education as those of n 9TH
err country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

THE PENALTY Of
CmARELESSNESS
By S. W. InsIIsh,
Fire Prevention Expert.


Every time you hear the cry of
"Firel" 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
carelessnessi Fire is the great de-
atroyer. The wealth Of a generation
can be wiped out in but a 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 a 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. we're 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.
II you wan to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires.

Captain Jerry Belden stood before

Esther he said regretfuIly:
sp"Honey. this will be the last merry

Captain Jerry nodded. 1.-THE interest

differently. Isn't it odd what Uncle
Peter did with SO much money!
Perhaps it only existed in his mind,
Esther. OF course Uncle Peter YVES

strange that he should have left me

''Tm such a helpless old man Of the

Then. with a sudden recollection Of the
day. he Strengthened his shoulders and
added: "But no more of this mourning
over what can't be helped. You want
a gay time Mt this party OF yours. and.
mind you. forget every word I've ut

"Of course will" laughed Esther
-And you must obey me, father. Go at

CIVILIZATIONS
GREATEST TRAGEDY.

Extract from article by w. D. Lewis,
president Texas Farmers Union, OPP
posing woman's suffrage:
1--WE are willing to join in every eff
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 il as certain to tremble and
plunge into darkness as death is to
