9ighbors in \
inst Grain Fires u
THE most successful means Of fighting
grain fires is the rural fire department.
operated jointly by small towns and
the adjoining district. In more than tour
hundred districts in California these small,
but effective, departments have been sue
cessfully organized. Their efforts have re-
duced the acreage burned per fire from
Ills acres to 3l6 acres They have cut
the money loss per fire from ST ,364.O0 to
1898 90. (These figures arc from the 9l9
report of the California State Board Of For
estry.
Similar cooperation in your community
will bring grain-saving, money-making rer
suits. If there is no rural fire department
near you help organize one. Get your town
and rural officials together to unite in the
ing a pumping engine and hose wagon.
Many districts are authorized by law to
provide funds for the purchase of freight
ing equipment.
The 1919 report of the State Board of
Forestry of California tells Of one motor
outfit that paid the cost of its installation
in handling one fire, and probably saved ct
least $l50,OO0 in grain during the season.
The prudent grain grower, no matter
how we'll organized his community may be
to fight fire, sees to it that his property is
completely insured.
And the thrifty grain grower carries his
insurance in the Northwestern Mutual Fire
Association-one of America largest insur-
ance institutions. Northwestern Mutual in
surance costs you about one-third less than
the ordinary kind. 1t provides complete in
supance-and saves you money.
Over $4,000 policies are now carried in the
Northwestern Mutual; its resources are moro than
One Million Dollars
Founded the principle Of cooperation, it has
ever been leader in pointing out hre-prevention
methods The resulting saving is presented to you
in the form of lower insurance premiums.

the "knocking'' when I'm dead.
Don't save kisses to imprint

Just give to me a kindly word while

So kindly throw your bouquets now

1t may be fine when one is dead
to have folks talk oh, SO:
To have the flowers come in loads

for those you leave behind,
But just as far as I'm concerned

Three Percent For Advertising

All over the country merchants
are adopting the 3 per cent method of
advertising which has proven so Won
derfully effective.
Actual tests in hundreds of cases
have proven that an advertising APP
preparation of 3 per cent of the pre-
vious years gross sales has increas-
ed the business 33 1-3 per cent.
This increase doesn't happen the
first week after the advertising cam
paign starts, however-it is the cum
ulative effect of a campaign carried
on regularly and persistently for a
year.
If the per cent were all spent in
one grand blow out it would be vast
ed but continued over the entire year
every week or, every day, it is the
surest business builder in the world
Big city stores spend from 5 pei
cent to z per cent in order to get the
enormous volume of business they
require, but in a town like Beldine
an average of 3 per cent will dc
wonders.

The total world production of cork
wood is estimated at 396,832, 900 lbs.
OF which nearly one-half is produced
In Portugal, nearly one-third in Spain
and the remainder in Tunis, Italy and
France. The greater part of the
cork product has heretofore been used
IN the manufacture of shoppers for
bottles, although this may be inter,
ftered with by the reign of prohibition
IN this country. Cork waste is used

poetry: "The average newspaper man
finds out all the naughty doings, no
matter how secretly they are planned
and kept. If the papers would pub
lish half the stuff they hear, there
would be ten divorces where there
is one now. There would be shot
gun matinees, lynching bees, hatchet

There are more young men in the

trades than there are outside OF
them. The principal cause Of this is
that you are educating your young

for blacksmiths, carpenters, mechan-
