OBEYING THE LAW

The law forbdding arson has caused me many
signs, although my friend the parson maintains
that it is wise. A conhagration rouses in me
spirit gay; I'm fond of firing houses and barns
and stacks of hay. | like to see them burning
upon summer night; it satisfies my yearning
and fills me with delight. But there's a law for
bidding the sport l most desire; the law says,
Quit your kidding" when | would start a fire.
And am law abiding the statutes must prevail
| let my dreams go sliding, and thus keep out of
jail Oh, there are laws that bore us, each gent
some grievance knows; "Verboten' signs before
us increase many woes. But if we plan to
break them, these laws that we detest, not only
do we shake them, but injure all the rest Yea,
many statutes bore us, and make our lives seem
dark but anarchy's before us if we don't toe
the mark. 1t helps not to be mush, far better
grin and yield; if laws are vain and foolish some
day they'll be repealed; some day perhaps, we'll
fay them, but while they're the books, if we
don't all obey them we line ourselves with crooks

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
$50 Each.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
WashingtOn.-Ther are still many
rural homes that do not have telephones
and, as at present economy in all lines
Is imperative, interest Is revlving in the
"barbed-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 $50. Carson County is
81 miles long and very sparsely settled,
although the agricultural lands are
fenced. Standard telephone lines APP
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 IS per mile. These knobs work
satisfactorily when the barbed wire
is tied to them with a short piece OF
wire.
In order further to reduce the cost
some farmers tried pieces of rubber
cut from automobile inner tubes as
insulatOrs. Pieces of the tubing IA
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 $40 each
and 80 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 a
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 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 a more
expensive and more satisfactory sys-

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

Carlisle, Pa.-Forty barrels Of nne
elderberry wine proved to be the only
effective fire extinguisher when fire
on the farm OF Gilbert Beetem here
destroyed barn and Outbuildings
valued at $4,000. When tenants
reached the fire, water was promptly
poured on the burning buildings; but,
although q 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
were exhausted. The building al
though badly scorched, was the only
one on the farm saved.
