What Mr.. Average Citizen fails to realize is that
high fire insurance rate has the same effect on
rents as high taxes.
Fire Insurance rates vary between buildings ac-
cording to the comparative risk of fire For the
whole city the rates vary according to the number
Of fires The preceding year or years.
Fire Insurance companies arrange rates to cover

WHEN NECESSITY WAS BOSS.

If you think your boss il overeKacting, reflect for
few minutes the Pilgrims, who landed Plymouth three
hundred years ago. and became model Americans the day
they landed.
Necessity boss in those days. And necessity is
easy boss
Supplies brought along exhausted shortly Every
thing the immigrants had to be grown And grow
ing food the soil of New England Is easy.
Half the colony had TO be guard against hostile
Indians while the others titled the ground and hunted and
fished.
Winter in a severe form than they had ever
known it made conditions still harder.
There time to form unions declare for shorter
hours.
The members of the colony began work it
dayliRht and kept at work till after dark.
They had to cut wood, to bring water from the springs
attend to their gardens kill animals and catch fish
and very spend much time in nursing the sick for
illness began to decmAte their numbers.
1t was, perhaps the hardest job Americans mad
undertaken But they kept at it, day and day out and at
last succeeded in their enterprise.
With about a tenth of the industry that these put
forth almost anybody succeed to-day. There boss
the employing business who has the power Of life and
death his employee.
Yet necessity denied obedience, not only holds such
power but exercises It very freely.
Think of the Pilgrims the time you dissatisfied
with your working conditions and fancy you can't possibly
get anywhere under them
little reflection what they had to endure viii do
you considerable good incidentally, will show you that
from the stuff that is inside and
from the conditions that surround him.
