DON'T TAKE A CHANCE WITH
FIRE

at never pays to take chance
with fire." says a circular issued by
the Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in it's cam
paign against forest fires. eff you
have got to gamble take a flyer on
the stock market or play the ponies,
but don't take "a chance on fire."
Every thousand feet OF green tim
Der near your home is worth at least
$40 in wages to you and your neigh
bors, besides it's stumpage value to
it's owner. If it is on national for
est land you are part owner, and If
1t is destroyed by fire you lose both
values.1
Burned timber pays no wages" the
circular says. 1.-THE prosperity and
development of your locality is going
to depend upon keeping that timber
green.
Don't take a chance with fire your
self, and don't let your neighbor do
it. When you burn brush take every
precaution to obey the law and see
that your neighbor does. Remember
that your home and his can go up in
smoke from just one piece of care
lessness
"The biggest fires in history were
started by those who didn't think the
woods would burn. Be as careful Of
fire as you are Of powder; it's just
as dangerous"

TrainingLi Little Children
Xiv
BY Mrs. Edith Clark CowIes

From the instant a mother hears
that first significant cry which pro
claims to the world the birth of a
new life. she is confronted by a
problem which increases In complex
ity with the passing of the years.
If she is busy mother, and most
mothers are busy, she will soon re-
alize that upon the early habits of
her baby will depend her ability to
fulfill her many duties. She can
train the baby to be entirely depend
emit upon her during his waking
hours, and thus let him become the
spoiled child who later develops in
to family nuisance, or she can be-
gin even when he is in his tiny
crib to SOW the seed OF selfreliance,
which will make of him the RESPONSE
BILE and desirable citizen. She would
not be guilty of pulling UP the sprout-
ing plant to see If is was growing;
why carry her baby about in her
arms or hold him in her lap when he
can kick and crow so much more free
ly in his own bed?
The baby who is bathed, fed, Civ
en- his nap regularly, allowed free
dom in which to grow and not ham
pered by too much attention will de-
velop into healthy, happy, helpful
child and be joy to his parents ana
a pleasure to their friends. The
Children's Bureau at Washington fur
nishes, upon request, bulletins reh
Eating to the food, general care and
physical training of the infant.
AS baby's- mind develops he will
need diversion and amusement. For
this purpose toys are useful which
do not have sharp edges and which
can be washed and kept sterile A
bell or rattle fer the baby to kick
may be hung from his crib or carri-
age, but it must be hung at an angle
which will not produce eye-strain.
From earliest infancy the child dis
plays a spirit of investigation which
it is well always to crafty. If pos
sfble, never leave his questions I'M
answered. If you lack the informa-
ton, say that you do not know but
will find out and tell him; and keep
your word. Few parents realize that
they typify to the child the spirit of
ommscence which God typifies to
them, and that it behooves them con-
stantly to strengthen such faith. The
child who finds that he can depend
upon what his parents tell him is
less apt in his turn to deceive them,
and the seed of mutual understand
ing and confidence is thus sown, to
sprout and bloom for all time.
Thespirft of investigation often
leads children into the habit OF
every object they see
This is not always naughhness and
should not be so stigmatized. A ba-
oy's attention can be diverted from |
)ne object to another, while older
will desist from investigation
is soon as their curiosity is satisfied.
But if they are told unqualifedly |
hat certain object must not be
ouched, they seem impelled by an
irresistible force to handle that OBJ
ect in preference to all others. 1t is
veil to keep in mind the advantage
o be gained by positive suggestion.
Divert the child's mind by mention
ng something which he may do,
ather than strengthen his determi-
alton by a peremptory command
s to what he may not do.
