SUCCESS FOR SMALL FARMER
In Discussing Tenant Problem Pro- gressive Farmer Points Out Seven
 Steps Toward Ownership

Most of the steps toward more sue cessful farming are simple The Progressive Farmer in discussing the tenant problem points out seven steps toward home ownership. and all are simple. They are: a garden. poultry, pigs, cows, horses, better machinery, land
 Not to the tenant alone, however, but to every small farmer, are these steps of importance. Many a farmer on a comparatively small place is de- voting almost his entire attention to raising grain crops. He sells these and buys from the store the food that his family eats There are two losses one in the telling, the other in the buying. By selling his grain. the farmer loses both the additional money profit that may be obtained by feeding it to stock and the fertility that may be returned to the soil by the same means. In buying food-es- pecially the canned goods which he so often purehases-S naturally pays the heavy costs incident to modern retailing. If he grew good home garden, much of this buying would be unnecessary.
 Farmers generally recognize the i'm portance of horses and machinery They do not, however. always recog nize the importance of getting first class machinery and of then keeping it in first-class condition.
 Closer attention to these matters will result in economy of operation of the farm and great profit and inde- pendence for the farmer-Kansas h. dustrialist

HALF OF ALL FOREST FIRES
ARE PREVENTABLE L
Analysis of Reports Shows That More
Than so Per Cent of Great Annual
Loss of Life and Property is Due to
Avoidable Causes.

Washington, July 3-With the open
ing Of the season OF fire danger or
most of the national forests, the forest
service is sending broadcast a warning
that more than half of the forest fires
in the United States are due to care
lessness or other preventable causes,
starting from campers, railroad loco
motives, brush burning, incendiaries,
and sawmiIls.
This statement is based on an analy-
sis Of statistics compiled from the for
est fire records of the last season,
when more than 1000 fires were re-
ported on national forests alone and
approximately 10000 on state and pri-
vate holdings in the Is states which
received federal cooperation in fire
protection under the Weeks law name
ly, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, West
Virginia, kentucky, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions of
dollars worth of timber and other
every year, and in some
years cause considerable loss of life.
1t has been estimated from the best
obtainable that forest
fires last year burned over an area Of
approximately 100000 acres with a
total loss Of at least $9,500,000.

AN EDITORIAL BY DIR. CRANE
Great Caesars Ghost


| Copyright, 1915, by Frank Cranel
Measured by his influence upon thC
world, julius Caesar was, with the ex
ception of Jesus Christ, the greatest
man that ever lived. He was more
than man; he was colossus. He be-
strode the world.
His ghost still stalks. 1t still fngs
its shadows athwart Europe.
His name fingers in the titles kais-
er, czar, and emperor
Worse, his idea still suffocates the
intelligence of old-world governments.
His idea was empire.
Empire is not only system. 1t is
faith, disposition Of mind, convic-
ton.
1t is national egotism. 1t goes upon
the naive assumption that my race is
superior to al other races, what we do
is right, what we say is true, our par
ticular culture must crowd out all
other brands.
Starting from this premise, it reas-
ons that the best thing we can do for
the world is to dominate it; the happi-
est fate for nations that do not agree
with us is extinguishment.
Hence no cruelty is too harsh. Our
mailed fist must clear the way for our
civilization. We must recognize no
morals but national aggrandizement,
Rome pursued this program and
failed. The barbarians she had quell-
ed finally had their revenge upon her;
they blotted her out, weakened by the
luxuries of domination.
Charlemange tried it. The great
empire built vp loosened and dissolved
Napoleon tried it. He too failed.
Now the nations of Europe are
struggling under the darkness of the
same specter.
They are putting their utmost might
W dC1hcNt NlLIuly VI Ioitt, thG
Caesarian goal. They know that, who
ever succeeds, the people must slump
back into the same burdened miitar-
ism. Blinded and maddened they duel
in the dark.
They seem never to have heard Of |
America; that ever here we have
perfectly practical system Of fedora
lion, whereby weak and strong nations
IAN live side by side in peace, and
where the prosperity of one is the
of all.
Europe is haunted house.
Great Caesars Ghost is busy there,
With what riot of blood and lust and
staggering cruelty
If only the people Of those ghost
ursed lands could get together and
ettle matters by reason and with a
rev to the welfare Of the men, wom-
n, and children, instead of dynasties,
iplomatists, and armies

MORE THAN 200 FIRMS NOW
IN WOOD WASTE EXCHANGE
Forest Service Gambling Factories TO
Dispose OF Each Others Waste Ma
terial 10 Mutual Advantage.

Washington, July 2-~Snce the in,
auguration Of its Wood Waste Ex.
change. on April is last, the Forest
Service has been requested 10 list i47
mills and factories as having waste
material for sale. while during the
same time 76 other wood-using con.
Germs have asked to be listed as de-
string 10 purchase waste Of a wide
range Of species in specified dimen-
sions or as mill or factory run. The
latter have been included In the list
of Opportunities to Sell Waste"
which is sent monthly to concerns
which have waste material for sale.
This list is growing steadily, but the
Forest Service is anxious TO acceler-
ate its rate Of growth inasmuch as it
comprises only about half as many
buyers as there are sellers listed un-
der Opportunities to Buy Waste
The Forest Service has just been
notified by n large novelty manufac-
turing concern in New York City that
the Wood Waste Exchange has en-
abled il 10 obtain its raw material at
a considerable saving Of money. This
factory uses small, semi-fnished
blocks Of dogwood which ii makes in
10 patent spool holders The factory's
requirements were published under
Opportunities to Sell Waste" and a
manufacturer Of shuttle blocks
promptly seized the opportunity to
dispose Of the pieces OF dogwood
which previously were discarded as
waste in his factory.
Similarly, other buyers are now,
through the Wood Waste Exchange,
obtaining material Of good quality at
a cost lower than they have been pay
ing for raw material in the form of
logs or standard lumber, and without
themselves having to accumulate
waste by cutting raw material into re-
quired sizes. On the other hand, many
mills and factories which were burn
ing their waste or disposing of it at
firewood prices are now selling it at
snail wooden commodities and in
a fair profit
The Forest Service desires the CO.
operation Of all manufacturers of
small wooden commodities and invites
them TO list their requirements with
the Wood Waste Exchange.
