a year (more than that in Ark ansas which is tackled on to the cost of clothing. food and other necessities of life and this tax is paid for fire waste. This money flows out of the pocket of the individual and whether he knows it or not the average person feels it and knows something is happening to his pocketbook.
 But the annual fire waste in the United States is tackled on to the
 "high-cost-of-living" and is wrongly regarded as a necessary evil. In the United States the head of the family of five con- tributes SIP. 5 per year to fire waste. In Europe where fire prevention is more closely regu- lated by law and observed by the people the cost of the annual fire waste is only Sl 66 to the family of five or B cents per capita.
 Yet there are people who resent any attempted regulation of this matter, who do not like to have their premises inspected and fire hazards pointed out and who rage when insurance rates are raised on their property as a necessary penalty for their fail ure to take the precautions to reduce fire hazard. Owing to educational work, largely thru the press, sentiment is changing

large income except for garden ing and fruit to be retailed in a large city. There are thousands of Arkansas farmers who have the intellectual power to handle double the farm acreage they have. Many of these men, if out of debt for their present farm. could we'll afford to go in debt for an additional forty or sixty acres or sell the small farm and buy one of twice the acreage. Many men are just making a living on their own small farms who should sell their farms and buy more livestock and more tools and rent a farm of three times the acreage. Talk with county agent and then with the banker. A farmer should keep his mind at work and develop his managing ability.

WE are now suffering the stings and arrows of outrageous dog days, and until after the middle of August need expect little relief. Ancient astrolo- gers explained that the forty days of the year, which extend ed through July until the middle of August were caused by the heliacal rising and setting of Sirius, the dog star. We can agree with them as to the first syllable of that particular rising and setting, anyway.
