 But not so with the experienced men who were to direct the fight and handle the hose. They had one strategic ad- vantage in that the blazing building could be approached from several diff ferent sides and they quickly made that count. Lines were run in from every approachable direction and the blaze was fought back foot by foot to its center while a watchful \eye was kept on blazing cornices and sides of surround ing buildings.

PARTNEEsHIP WITH LABOR

The International Harvester Con- 7zny's vote to distribute aneng it's rorke-s. as a bouus, sse,oeo, ,ooo of it's Etock might well be called a memorial plan in honor of the former head of tHzt company, the late George ". Fe-zlns, who stood consistently for a real partnership between labor and capital and saw in such a general trend tla solution of all Americas more ssyi- ous Industrial problems. There is neth- ns new in the argument fsr such part nership. This was worked out admir- ably tn The Wandering Jew" thres- quarters of a century ags. But the French novelist dealt only with the idea l1dsr individual ovnersS'p of a factory piant-and ownership by eorperatiens which are said to have no souls is a modern development It may be noted That the fctional picture drawn by the novelist, Ike the Harvester companys actual plan.

from these pests is in foo6stufis, which as already indicated, are detroyed at every stage from the time the seed is planted until they are ready for human consumption.
 Investigations some years age in- dicated that the direct annual losses sustained in the United States wo~e abotu $3oo,ooo,o0o, with great /.- tional sum in indirect losses, incluu4lg commerce from the diseases carried by rats, and the necessary expenditures in combating them. Assuming, roughly speaking, that as estimated the rat population in the United States is 50,- 000,000 for the cities and 150,000 900 for the rural districts, it will require the destruction of property by each rat of only a little more than one-fourth a cent day to make the aggregate great sum estimated as destroyed by these pest yearly in this country.
 "A more definite idea of the losses from rates may be gained by consider ing what it means in human effort.
 Taking the average yearly returns on mans labor in agriculture, as shown by the census of 1910, it requires the continuous work of about 150,000 men, with farms, agricultural implements, and other equipment, to supply the foodstuffs annually destroyed by rats in the United States. In addition, rats destroy other property, mainly of az ricultural origin, the production of which requires the work of about 50,- 900 men.
 This gives a total of 200 900 men, with their equipment, in this country, fhose economic output is devoted sole ly to feeding and otherwise providing for rats. If a small fraction of this army and the money involved could be concentrated in a continuous national campaign against these pests a vast saving could be achieved.

erick s. Kolle, editor-in-chief of Physi- clans Who's Who" and a nationally known author of medical text books, in most emphatic statement said:
 If I had my way, Bitfe- Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital"
 Later Dr. Kolle said: When the nerve tissue begins to lose it's vitality, woman begins to lose her youth and vivacious- ness. Her lively, pleasant disposition fades away--she becomes irritable, un- companionable. moody and Respondent.

 To all such people Bitro- Phosphate is recommended because it is the one organ ic phosphate which, when absorbed by the system, will supply the element necessary for vigorous, healthy ze ly free from any suggestion of weakness or disordered nerves.

Men and women, nervous and fretful, ea'~ upset and often fatigued, need plel..y of organic phosphate, and the sooner they heed this advice the better their health will be.
 In every one of the millions of cells that make up your body, phosphorus is most important part
 Your nervous system. your brain, your blood and even your bones must have a sufficient supply of phosphorus or weari- ness, nervousness and a general run down condition, as we'll as lack of normal mental power is sure to result.
 Big men of ,affairs-mighty men who control industries because of sheer will power and nervous force, know this, or, if they don't, are clever enough to have a physician who does.
 Physicians more and more are realizing that Bitro- Phosphate, as dispensed by Lee & Osgood and all leading drug stores, is necessity to over 40 per cent of men and women, because present day foods do not contain enough phosphate to give the body and especially the nervous system the supply\it needs

BACK TO THE FAKM' AGAIN

BACK TO THE FARM' AGAIN
 For the last year or two we have heard the slogan raised with more or less emphasis, back - to the farm. This has been given a new pronIeace by Professor Eugdne Davenport. dean of agriculture in the University of Illinois, Siho proposes that young narriei' couples be not only encouraged but as- sisted in settling down upon farms. The difficulty he finds is in providing the capital, but he thinks this should be overcome by the formation in communi- ties of an association to ''gruhstake" the beginners so that they can get 2 proper start. Such an association would do for the young couples what building and loan associations have many times done in solving the problem of home ownership by the use of small sums of money regularly deposited by many bl- vestors. There seems to be no good req son why the principle could not be ex- tended to the back to the farm move ment for worthy young couples
 The state of Oklahoma has blazed the way on the trail that Dem Daven- port has suggested by setting u1 fund of S1,000eo0 to be used for this very purpose but the Illinois dean is O. the opinion that the loaning of money to give ambitious young people q start in life is beyond the scope of state or fed eral governments
 It will be interesting to watch the development of Dean Davenport's idea. If the young people are to be lured back to the farm, it must be through some method that promises them more than bare existence of drudgery. 4 lot of idle Eloney is seeking investment in schemes more or less hazardous and uncertaiG- Why not turn it into the channel here suggested, where loans will be employed in solving one of the real social as we'll as economic prob leuys of the moment.
 The question between the large and tlle small farm would arise in the de- velopment of this idea. Not long be- fore the war the tendency was to sup port the big farm as desirable, because of economies that were possible in it's operation. Are we to turn away from this and take up the policy of small holdings, with the consequent increase in proportienate expense? Small farms occupied by their owners may be more intensively cultivated, and will assure a comfortable living and economic in dependence to more people. It is quite possible, too, that the net yield will be increased, because of the more careful management and use of the land made necessary by the fact that the small farmer has less ground from which to extract his living expenses and any profit he may hope to enjoy.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Rats Q Costly Pest.

As carrier of the dread bubonic plague rats are a menace, but that is only one form of their costly and dan gerous depredations, says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society:
 Rats are practically omnivorous and their depredations cover a wide range" writes Edward W. Nelson in a com munication to The Society. They feed indifferently upon all kinds Of vegetable and animal matter.
 They dig up newly planted grain, de- stroy it while growing and also when in the shock, stack, crib, granary, mill, elevator warehouse, wharf and ship hold, as well as in the bin and feed trough They eat fruits, vegetables and meats in the market, destroying at the same time by pollution far more than is consumed
 '"They destroy enormous numbers of eggs and poultry. as well as the eggs and young of song and game birds. In addition, they invade stores and ware houses and destroy groceries of every description, as well as fur, laces, silks, carpets and leather goods.
 They cause many disastrous fires by gnawing matches, by gnawing through lead pipe near gas meters, or by cut ting the insulation from selectric wires in order to secure material for nests and ty gathe,3ng oil-soakcd rags and other inflalnmable material in their nests floed houses by gnawing through lead water pipes, ruin artificial ponds and embankments by borrowing, and dam age foundations, floors doors, and fur nishings of dwellings,
 AS disease carriers they also cause enormous commercial loses, especially through the introduction of bubonic plague and the resultign suspension of commerce. With the introduction of plague they become directly responsi- ble for business disaster as we'll as for an appalling mortality.
 Much the greater oart of losses
