CHANGE IN DRAFT SYSTEM

A complete change in the ma
chinery of the selective draft has
been announced by the authori-
ties at Washington, and is calcu
lated to do away with much of
the work of the local and district
boards. The remaining 100000
men will be divided into five
classes to be determined by a list
of questions to be n W e r e d
which will give a complete his
tory of each mans case. In this
way each man will know the or
der of his liability which will de-
pend upon whether or not he is
engaged in an important industry
or has a family dependent upon
him for support. The complete
plans of the new method have
not yet been given out but it is
said the next call will be made
under it's rules. The best author
tiles believe another call of the
drafted men will not take place
before the first of the year.

Fire Prevention
By Clara ThOrson-2nd Prize

do not burn. Old rags or paper
should never be placed too near
the stove. as they might catch
fire.
A stove without legs should al.
ways be placed on a piece of tin
sheeting or something similar SO
that the board floor will not catch
fire when the stove becomes very
Ehot. The stove should never be
placed too near the wall either.
Kerosene and gas lamps should
be handled with care, as they
might easily overturned and set
fire to pieces of paper or lace cur
taihs or some similar object.
Lightning rods should be plac-
ed on buildings to prevent li9htn-
ing from striking them and start
ing a fire.
Putting ground wires on barb
wire fences will ground the ele-
ctric current passing over the
wire and prevent the electricity
from killing cattle or other stock
near the fence.
Drunken smokers and other
careless people are the cause of
many needless fires, they often
throw live cigarette or cigar
ends or matches into punches of
hay, or waste paper baskets
never knowing what they are
about until a report of a prairie
fire or destroyed building comes
out, and the guilty one is no
where to be found, because these
kind of people usually never
stay in one place very long.
Fire proof building material in
houses may be a prevention of
its destruction.
Moist hay or straw should
never be stacked as combustion
and heat will generate in it and
start it a burning.

HIGH PRICES AND
Community COOPERATION
FARMER DOES NOT LIVE ENTIRELY DEF
HIS PR0DuCTS---Sn0ULD CONSERVE
MACHINERY.

We are inclined to view the
present era of high prices as
conducting entirely to the bene-
fit of the farmer, and to regard
him as very fortunate indivi-
dual. True, he is more fortunate
than he has been in times past,
but while he has been relieved Of
some burdens he has been sad
died with others. Not all the
high prices have benefited him.
We are apt to view the farm
er as living entirely on the farm
and off its products. In one sense
this is true, but in another not.
While his means come from the
farm, much of those means
must be exchanged for commo-
dities that do not come from the
farm.
The farmer must wear clothes,
and these must come from the
manufacturers and the merch-
ants. He must have farm imple-
ments, and these he cannot make.
He must have wagons and bu9e-
les, and, if he is to enjoys life as
his city brother. automobiles, and
the prices of these articles are
soaring in company with the pro-
ducts of his farm.
But what we started out re-
mark was that the farmers can
in large measure meet and over
come the effects of the high
prices of farm implements by a
well-planned system of co7operat-
ion. And it looks now as though
this plan will have to be adopted.
The demand for war supplies
has diverted the energies of
many large factories, and a short
age of farm implements is freely
predicted.
In this event cooperation in
the purchase and use of the more
costly of farm tools will prove
not only practicable but profit
able. There are many tools
used on the farm, where one i'm
plement may be made to do the
work of several farms. Every
farmer knows what they are,
and it is unnecessary to enume-
rate them. We merely would i'm
press the fact that wherever
these can be owned and operated
comparatively, it is only economy

A Farmers Cooperative Stor

A Farmers Coz Operative Store
has been organized at Cotton
wood under the Rochdale system
and is known as the Cottonwood
Rochdale Company. Between
forty and, fifty of the farmers in
that vicinity have subscribed the
stock, about $1,000 worth, and
have bought out what has been
known for several years as the

|dale people have organized COM
panies and opened stores at Ka-
doka, Quinn and Owanka besides

Many destructive fires might
be prevented if everyone would
be more careful in the handling
Of matches and other fire start
ing agents. The new inventions
for protecting ones property
from fires are coming into use
more and more. If more care
and common sense were applied
in the handling of explosives
such as gasolene, gun powder
and other dangerous substances
less accidents and fires would oc
cur.
More fires are caused by the
careless handling and disposal o1
matches than in any other way
Little children ignorant of the
danger of playing with matches
are often injured or die of burns
The parents of little children
should see to it that matches are
kept out of their reach.
Safety matches only should be
used, as the danger of accidental
fires is greatly lessened. Mice
sometimes start fires by gnawine
at matches.
Ashes should never be emptied
on the ground on a windy day, as
some of the live Goals may be
blown into the grass or shavines
and start to burn causing much
damage. Be positively sure that
there is no live Goals in the ashes
before emptyine them, and you
will thereby help to prevent fires
One should always close the
draft in the stove, when he leaves
the house as a fire might start in
some way either by its getting
hot, or by wind blowing the Goals
onto the floor or some ignitable
substance. Brick chimneys
should be used altogether as they
