A PRETTY CLOSE CALL.

This (Friday) morning, Wood came
near having a very serious FIRE. 1t
was about eleven o'clock when Paul
WiIdman and VIM. Mckee went to
the Green Feed Barn, and as they
were pretty cold they started to build
up a fire in the Office stove, Mr.. Me
Kse pouring some oil in the stove to
start the fire quickly. There was an
explosion, and the entire interior Of
tbs Office was a mass OF flames in an
instant. Prompt assistance arrived
ard it was only by heroia effort that
the barn was saved. Several holes
We're cut in the office roof to fight the
flames to better advantage, the win
dows, doors, bedding, furniture and
the entire interior of the office was
burned and charred in pretty bad
shape. II was a very narrow escape
from what might have been very
bad fire, and it was lucky that assis,
arce came so promptly.

WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION2

Are you a land owner? If so, what
Is your intention with regard TO the
land that you own? Do you propose
to regard it as business investment,
and to extract from it every possible
dollar of profit?
We have known farmers whose
treatment of their land was calculat-
ed to leave the impression that they
were the ones for whom it was origi-
pally created, and that when they
should cease to need it no other use
would ever be made Of it.
On the other hand there are men--
and many of them--who. while striv-
ing to make their land as productive
ss possible, have yet an eye to the
future owners.
Every farmer when he takes charge
Of a piece of ground, should frame
this simple resolution:
II hereby resolve that, wnGner my
occupancy of this land be long or
short, l will use every means at my
command to leave it more product
i've than when 1 found it,"
If this were the guiding principle
of every farmers life, what a blessed
and productive country ours would
become in few generations of time.
And why not?
Every farmer who has ever worked
with impoverished soil knows how
discouraging and heart sickening is
the struggle.
And every farmer who has honestly
endeavored to improve his land to a
point Of real productiveness knows
how gratifying it is to see his yield
mount upward from year to year and
to feel that as the seasons go by he is
adding substantially to the wealth Of
this country-.for after all is said
land is the great tangible asset of the
earth.
The man who causes two blades oi
grass to grow where only one wa;
growing is benefactor Of mankind
The man who so depletes his sol
that only one blade will grow where
two formerly grew, is thief.
Hard words-yes, hard but true
No man has right to impoverish th'
soil, even if he does hold title deeC
to it. AT best it is only his for
season, when it must pass along Il
smother rightful owner.
And what about the rights OF tina
next owher? And the next, ard tn,
next?
When you pursue policy that i'm
poverishes your land it goes TO you
son at your demise poorer than whel
you received it.
Have you. in that event, been hon
est with your son? He had right L
receive from you what you received.
certainly no less.
Will the farmers of America roI
the unborn generations, or will the
leave for them the legacy of IL bette
land than they themselves inherited
1t is a personal question which eacl
individual must answer for himself

The wives of ten striking carmen call
ed upon Oliver B. Newman, president Of
the Board of District Commissioners, by
appointment yesterday and appealed that
the Commissioners settle the strike by

sioners take over and operate the lines
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, asked that they deport the
strikebreakers and prosecute them for
the alleged stealing of fares. running past
fire stops. and other alleged violations OF
law.
Mr.. Newman told the women in detail
of the efforts the Commissioners have
made to settle the strike by mediation.
which have failed because Of the refusal
of the company to mediate.
1t was also explained by Mr.. Newman
that the Commissioners are entirely
without authority to deport strikebreak-
ers.
Miss Dorothy D. Frooks, president and
editor of the Public Service Record, of
Oyster Bay, N. Y, escorted by George
A. Wilburt, president OF the Garments
