PUT OUT FIRE WITH WINE
Forty Barrels of Vintage Used to
Save Burning Building on
Pennsylvania Farm.

Carlisle, Pa-Forty barrels OF fine
elderberry wine proved to be the only
effective fire extinguishsr when fire
on the farm of Gilbert Beetem here
destroyed a barn and outbuildings
valued at $4,000. When tenants
reached the fire, water was promptly
poured on the burning buildings; but,
although bucket brigade worked for
six hours the buildings were destroyed.
The flames started to ignite hand
some lodge on the farm. The water
had run out. The tenant remembered
a large quantity Of wine stored in the
cellar, and within a few minutes the
bucket brigade was transferring elder
berry wine to the roof Of the threaten
ed building.
A steady stream of wine was kept
on the building until forty barrels
we're exhausted. The building al
though badly scorched, was the only
one on the farm saved.

WIRE FENCE PHONES
Farmers in South Dakota Use the
"Barbed-Wire System"
County Agricultural Agent Assists
Farmers to Install System at
Cost of Less Than
$40 Each.

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
| WaShingtOn.-Ther are still many
rural homes that do not have telephones
and, as at present economy in all lines
is imperative, interest is reviying in the
''batbed-wire system which was more
or less common in parts Of the West
| 20 years ago.
In Carson county, South Dakota, the
county agricultural agent has assisted
! farmers to install such system at an
average cost OF material per farmer
of less than $40. Carson County is
81 miles long and very sparsely settled,
although the agricultural lands are
fenced. Standard telephone lines ap-
peared to be too expensive, yet there
was a great need of facilitating COM
munication. The county agent fur
nished information regarding the cost
Of installing the line, using porcelain
nail knobs for insulation, which cost
about So per mile. These knobs work
satisfactorily when the barbed wire
is tied to them with a short piece OF
wire.
some farmers tried pieces Of rubber
cut from automobile inner tubes as
insulators Pieces of the tubing III
inches square were wound around the
barbed wire and fastened to the post
with staples. The county agent re-
ports that this insulation Is giving
satisfaction, although, of course, the
rubber will deteriorate in time.
The farmers were able to obtain Sec
ond-hand phones at from S. to 500 each
and so cents bought lightning ar
roster, so that the total cost per farm
er was comparatively nominal.
Each farmer has his own special
ring, so there is no expense for
central. 1t is possible with system
like this to connect various parts OF
the farm or distant barns with the
house, or the tenant house with the
farm home, at very low cost. While
such a system leaves much to be de-
sired in the way of service, 1t meets
an emergency and can be made to
answer, pending the coming of times,
when conditions Will warrant more
expensive and more satisfactory sys-

Rally ROUND The Plum TREE

III gives the great game OF politics
friendly atmosphere, and 1t produces
some startling changes in personal
destiny.
Making n Diplomat
For example there was a certain
Secretary OF State who had an old
friend in little town IN the west
Hc was under some decp personal OBJ
legation 10 his old friend. who WAS
typical small town lawyer. When tho
Secretary OF State took his high posi-
ton. It was fully understood by both
of them that the old friend should
have Amos, anything he wanted. As
1T happened he wanted nothing Tor
himself But he had son. This son
had been thru high school and had
sold soap in Mexico and Central Amer
tea. The old friend wanted his son
appointed TO a diplomatic post in Latin
America. IL was Immediately prom
iscd. The old friend got lot OF ltcra-
turc on Latin America and after de-
voting whole sunday afternoon 10
the matter he chose a Central Ameri-
can post which paid $4,000 a year and
seemed to have pretty good climate.
His son. in due course, went there as
"A minister. And the funny part OF IL
is that he made a pretty good diplo-
mat as American diplomats go. and
has risen in the service. OF coursc.
a good many such stories could DO
told that do not have such happy end
ings.
In general. tho patronage business
Is certainly An unhappy one. Ask
any newly elected Congressman. There
are posts for which he has "A hundred
applicants. To sppoin; the wrong man
may mean his defeat To appoint any
man means 10 make % men angry.
Indeed. many promising career in
Congress Is wrecked simply by the ac-
cumulatcd animosities OF disappointed
seekers after favors.
For the CONGRESSMAN TO push Asido
personal and party claims and choose
whom he considers tho best man, Is
npossiblc-that !s. IL he hopes for re-
election. There arc personal friends
who must be cared for. There are
staunch. life-loug party men who must
be cared for. Worst OF all. there arc
tho widows OF such men. who always
seem 20 inherit the descrvingness OF
their spouscs undiminishcd. and who
have the additional claim of their
feminine hclplcSsncss and their numcr-
Gus progeny.
And yc; tho Congrcs,mcn love their
patronage They always oppose any
reduction in It. They do not seem 10
grasp the simple fact that II they had
no patronage cares at all. they would
be infinitely better off. When Prcsi-
dent Taft put all of the fourth class
pos.mastcrs into tho classified service.
thereby simplifying the patronage
problem enormously, tho Congressman
protested. They have protested at
every reduction o fthe patronage roll.
And yet II has been reduced, little by
little. Office seeking is not what It
was in the days OF President Gar
field, who was literally Killed by 1t.
The trouble is that an almost un-
diminished army OF patriots seeks tho
greatly reduced list OF Jobs. Perhaps
all the jobs will bo put under the
merit system some day.
