To Reduce Our Ash HEAP.

The Importance of fire prevention
important at the approach of this winter when
there is an extraordinary shortage of material la
Dor and the other necessaries of construction and
when property of all kinds is more than val
liable. Americas record of fire waste is shameful
it exceeds that of any other country pretending to
conservation, and rises largely from inexcusable
negligence. If the negligence were confined to in
tends to governments.
When municipalities States persistently
forego the enactment of necessary ire-prevention
laws they are to blame for the consequent de-
struction Of wealth. A writer in the Louisville
Courier-Journal keeny observes in this connection
that while as a rule the law cannot reach the prop
erty whose neglect of precautions is morally
a crime, after the fire has occurred it could reach
him earlier: "Inasmuch it does not do, through
the enforcement of proper measures of fire proven
ton, the moral guilt, when preventable fire oc-
ours, rests upon city government we'll as upon
a property, owner who is careless"
The main reason for the low record of fire
losses in European countries as compared with
ours is the more stringent character of their fire
laws They have carefully worked out require
ments concerning the construction and main
tenance of buildings the duties of landlords, ten
ants and owners, the storage of things infammable
the tending of stoves, CRATES and furnaces. These
and other preventive regulations strictly en-
forced: and wherever it is possible by any man.
ner of means to fix responsibility for fire, the law
is unsparngly applied. When equally stringent
and comprehensive measures are adopted in Amer
lea our national ash heap will grow less.

america s Inspiring Duty
To HELP Rebuild France.

No true American can contemplate the needs
of France without a heart-deep desire TO help in
her rehabilitation. In the four years during which
her soil has been the chief battle-ground and her
sons a glorious bulwark in civilizations defense,
she has suffered anguish unspeakable and losses be-
yond repair. She has lost one-ffteenth of her eff
fective population, more than two and half mill
lion of her men, the flower and strength of her
youth having been killed or incapacitated. She
has lost at the hands of the brutal invader three
hundred and fifty thousand homes and all the
available wealth of her richest industrial region.
Though the French territory under German occu-
patton was comparatively small part OF the coun-
try's area it supplied one-fourth of the republics
tax revenues and comprised its most productive re-
sources All that expanse of industry throb-
bling with power lies a stark waste--its fac
tories and mills demolished, its dwellings Destroy
ed its very temples of worship in ruins, its air
heavy with smell of embers and ashes 80 COM
plete is the destruction" says NJ. Tardieu, that.
in the case Of our great coal mines in the north,
two years of work will be needed before single
ton of coal can be extracted and ten years before
the output is brought back to the figures of 1919.
NJ Tardeu's appeal for American assistance in
men, money, material and ships for the reconstruc-
ton of France will strike instant and universal re-
sponse Our debt to that great-hearted friend of
our nations youth and heroic defender of
civilization never be paid, but our love can be
made manifest N helping her bear the burdens and
perform the tasks that tower grim and huge before
her. AS Government and people We can help to
supply the billions of dollars, the hundreds of
thousands of men and the vast stores of material
which she will need urgently in the times just
ahead 1t was for advantage and for the
worlds as well for her own that she suffered so
'traGically In conscience and honor we could not
and we will not fail France in the noble work Of
rebuilding her life.

Sugar Production for Georgia.

inducements to sugar cane growing in Georgia
have been greatly increased as result of the ex-
pansion in the worlds market for cane sugar.
For years prior to the the bulk of trade was
in beet sugar, vast quantities of which pro-
duced in Germany and Austria; but with the Gen.
trail Empires bockaded, the cane-sugar countries
were called upon TO supply an extraordinary
demand
The Valdosta Times interestingly points out
that while have the soil and climate needful to-
raising fine varieties of cane. "the difficulty has
been to meet the competition of the cane growers
of tropic countries endowed by nature with larger
possibilities of production at less cost; in Cuba,
for example, it grows like grass in the fertile soil
replanting being necessary only after from seven
to twenty-odd years." 1t is demonstrate, how
e-er that with efficient methods of production
underlying it, cane growing and it related indus
tries can be made highly profitable in Georgia.
Individual counties have produced more than fifty
thousand barrels Of syrup year, the famous
Georgia cane; and net 'ofts ranging from
twenty-five to seventy-hve dollars have
been common.
Opportunities for increased efficiency in meth
DDS of production are suggested by the Valdosta
Times interesting description of the typical old
time Georgia mill. consisting of two heavy
iron rollers set vertically pine log frame"
Between these revolving iron cylinders the
cane stalks are fed by hand and crushed, the
juice descending into a barrel covered with
coarse bagging to catch the impurities and
small bits of pith. The motive power is fur
nished by mule walking around tho mill
hitched to a downward-curving beam, the
upper end of which is fastened above the iron
rollers The sugar boilers into which the
juice is poured is great iron kettle
set in a clay or brick furnace. AS the cane
juice boils the scum is skinned off and the
color of the fluid changes from dull green to
dark red mahogany, sendin.; forth an
aroma far more delicious than that from
candy factory. The boiling to make sugar is
merely the boiling to make syrup longer con-
tinued. In former times the hospitable cane
grinder extended to all the merry-making
young folks of the neighborhood the privilege
OF chewing his cane, drinking the strained
juice and feasting the foam" rising to the
top of his hot syrup dipped out of the great
boiler, thus generously giving away perhaps a
tenth of his entire product.
Hospitable and picturesque though they are,
such methods will yield to a more highly produc
tive and highly conserving system the sugar
industries of the State expand.

editors of great London newspapers. The speaking
was confined to one newspaper man from eacn OIL
the parties and Lord NoTthcliffe. Mr.. Frederic
Vile of the Daily Mall the well-known author ana

Lord Northcliffe is frequently spoken OF as an
American born in England" and his newspapers are

never changed the traditions Of that genuinely won

Faith. the kind We are talking about, means
that Justice is invariably best.
That kindness and self-control are always better
than brutality and petulance.
That there is "a power not of ourselves that
makes for righteousness" and that any man is
fool that imagines he can cheat it.
That a good character is more to be priced than
a good reputation.
That 1.-The stars in their courses fight for the
man who is clean and decent.
That somehow, although it is often not apparent,
this whole universe is so ordered that the man who
is straight and square will arrive, and the man who
ia crooked and mean will not arrive.
And that honor, loyalty and modesty are quail
ties that are to be used everywhere and all the
time and make a happier and more SATISFIED
With his life than money or fame can do.
It is Faith, then, that is the most soldierly OF
virtues.
1t makes good private, a good captain, and
good general.
The man that is without it is not to be depended
on Sooner or later he will find this universe just
gigantic trap to catch him.
No man is bigger than the Sum of Things.
No man is shrewd enough or clever enough to
win when he pits his wits against the long wisdom
of Almighty God.
General Foch and General Pershing are men of
simple Faith.
The German leaders believed in Expediency.

What has Faith to do with Soldering? Is it
not rather a matter for old women and prayer meet
inGs?
Faith is the backbone of soldering.
There are two meanings to Faith. One implies
the acceptance of creed the acquiescence in GER
tain statements mace by Church. Faith in this
sense we do not here discuss. We leave that to
the preachers.
But there is another meaning 1t is the accept
of certain deep principles and laws which I'M
derlie and govern life and events.
1t is a belief that all things in this world are
going according to program, and not hit and miss
1t is the conviction that there is great Mind
that controls events that the living human body
is governed by a soul, the universe is governed
by SOUL
1t means that the final explanation of all things
is spiritual, not material.
1t is belief that the laws of goodness and its
rewards and of evil and its penalties, are cosmic
laws that they have no exceptions, any more than
the laws of physics or chemistry have exceptions;
that for instance you depend upon honesty be-
ing the best policy with much confidence as you
can depend upon two and two making four every
time
The man of faith is honest in the dark,
and when he to lose by it, for he is just as
certain it will pay in the long run as that the sun
will rise tomorrow.

Editorial Echoes

Secretary Daniels has written personal letter
to Mrs Kate Kaufman of Written, Iowa, mother of
Wayne z. Kaufman, seaman second class, L. S. n,
who died October of pneumonia, contracted while
serving as volunteer, assisting the hospital corps
during the epidemic of influenza at the naval train
ing camp, Detorit, Mich.
When the need for assistance for the hospital
corps became known, Kaufman vlunteered, al
though he had just undergone a minor operation
and had not fully recovered his strength. He was
found by the medical officer at work with the sick,
when he himself had fever of over 1913 degrees.
He had made no complaint, but had worked on with
the sick many of whom we're in less need of care
than he was Influenza developed into pneumonia,
which resulted in his death.
This service of Kaufman" says the secretary,
displays spirit Of self-sacrfce worthy Of emula-
ton and places him on the roster of our national
heroes
