citizen to be the unresisting dupe of the priest
who picks his pocket and perhaps dishonors
his home, and to be the helpless victim of the
crack-brained war-lord, who needs powder

MARCH, 1S55-MARCH, 1916.

March from Mars is well named.
The month of this name just past was
much Ike that of 1885. Both were
characterized by lack of moisture and
high winds, which caused much dam
age by fire. l do not recall so muc!
damage in So in town and city but
forest fires were almost OF daily oc-
currence. That was long before the
advent of the stock Jaw, and there
was more fencing and timber then
than now which made accidental fires
more dangerous. And then nearly
every farmer had annually a new
ground Of logs and brush to burn, and
about March was the time for attend
ing to this work. DR.. Thomas Thomp-
son of your town owned lands nov
owned by Mr.. Ed Stone and others
On the Pomaria road and on one of
those March days an accidental fire
burned an out house and mule belong
ing to the doctor. Mr.. James Maffett,
one mile farther east, had the fence
around his field burned LAs the cattle
ran at large then his neighbors turn
ed out next day and split and hauled
rails and enclosed the field again. The
writer was a little lad then and his
school path was parallel TO a long
stretch of rail fence. The fence was
all right a March morning but when
he returned home that evening it was
a long bed of live Goals. The late Jas.
Blalock was wont to say that there
was no such thing as an accidental
FIRE but that it was all the result Of
carelessness; and 1 reckon he vas

the story of very wealthy man who
made his fortune through an adver-
tising scheme In front Of small
store in New York City crowd was
looking at a novel article exhibited
in the window. The advertising man
introduced himself to the proprietor
Of the store and said:
You have something here that is
worth fortune if advertised. I want
TO advertise it.
Il don't believe much in adVer-
tising." said the man.
I'll make you a proposition. If
I triple the sales of the article in three
months will you give me half interest
in the business?'
After an hours talk the other con-
sented. Inside of five days he called
his new partner up on the phone and
begged him to stop as he was sold
out ten times over the capacity of his
plant The advertising man took
a half interest in the business, rented
a five story building, advertised for
workers-and inside of a month had
increased the output of the article
forty-fold and extended his field to
