The Commissioners have given no

flying thick around the District build

seemed to be no basis for the rumors
except the wish of the xossips to have

FIRE PREVENTION DAY

| The American people complain
| bitterly about the extravaganza of
the government, and yet most per
sons are responsible for wastes that
are equally needless and prepOster-
Gus. One of the most notable of
| these Is the annual fire loss. 1t Is
not much Use to find fault with our
lawmakers, when we burn up an
nnally nearly $3O0.OOO,0O0 worth of
property.
Firc department and insurance
men have been conducting a vigor-
Gus campaign to arouse the people
to the folly of this annual loss.
The Fire Prevention day which has
been appointed for consideration of
this matter, has done good deal
to awaken the public to the sub
ject. This year it comes on October
10, and it is an occasion that should
make people stop and think.
While Insurance is a splendid sys-
tenn for equalizing losses, yet it
leads to a good deal of carelessness.
The man who is fully covered feels
that he does not stand to suffer
much If his property burn down.
So he neglects precautions that
would be taken II he had no in
surnace. AS the result of this easy
going attitude, many dangerous
conditions are tolerated, and 1t be-
comes easy for blaze to start and
spread.
1t makes a flreman's hair stand
on end. to see the way lot of
people will handle inflambale
things. They throw matches into
waste baskets, without thought to
see II they are extinguished. They
allow rubbish to collect in their
buildings without thought of what
might happen IL the same gotta aflre.
Then they expect flremen to risk
their lives to put out a blaze once
It gets start in these fire traps.
The insurance companies do a
great deal to reduce fires. by in
sDections of property to secure re-
moval OF hazards. Anyone who
fails to comply with reasonable fire
prevention rules deserves to have
his policy cancelled. and he has
no kick coming II he has to stand n
loss himself.

COOPERATING WITH
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The parents of the school child
ren are so keenly anxious to see
the youngsters make good progress
that they frequently find fault un-
Justly with the public schools. But
with our good school here in Holly
il pupils fail to make progress, in
te majority of eases the trouble is
with the parents, the homes, or pub
lie sentiment, rather than with the
teachers.
II makes a big difference to the
school workers. whether or not they
Eet the right kind of home and com
munity support. If the discipline
of the schools is supported in the
homes, if the parents cooperate in
n personal way. their power to at
tain results is greatly increased.
In aseries of editorials soon to be
published. The Chieftain will make
some practical suggestions as to
what the parents and homes can do
through community sentiment to
cooperate with onr schools. The
results with the children could be
greatly improved If these suggest
ions could be carried out by our
people.

Farm Survey
Finds $38 Average
MINNESOTA FEDERATION CO.
OPERATES WITH DAKOTAS TO
STABILIZE LABOR COSTS.

Wages paid for farm help in Min
nesota this summer will average $2.1s
a day for day laborers, and $3.50 q
month, according to a statewide sur
vey just completed by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation.
The inquiry was the first of a series
to be made every month during the
producing season, in an effort to pre-
vent violent fluctuations in wages and
provide steady employment at fair
pay, federation officers said. State
ments of average wages and conditions
of supply and demand in the farm la
Dor market will be exchanged with
the farm bureaus of other northwest
states.
The first Minnesota survey showed
that while cash wages this year are
from 20 to even 40 per cent lower
than last years scale, there has been
little curtailment in the demand for
farm help.
South Dakota Wages Same.
The survey also showed that most
farmers are offering slightly higher
pay to the man who will work steadily
through the season. The South Dako-
ia federation is conducting similar
inquiry; returns from 16 counties
show the average monthly wage
there is virtually the same as it is in
this state, and indicate a supply fully
equal to the demand

mean an actual income equal to $85.
F. L. French, secretary of the Mime
sofa federation, said, when the value
of board, room and washing provided
for the laborer are considered. The
survey showed that wages range from
$1.20 to as high as SIS day for es-
pecially skilled men, and from $40 to
$50 month, and are highest in parts
of the state where dairying, sound
of experienced men.
Maximum Production in Sight.
The survey, covering 80 counties,
also revealed the fact that despite
frightened credit and collapsing prices
for farm crops, production is not be-
ing curtailed. Returns from three
fourths of the counties reporting list
ed the demand for farm labor as nor
NAL. An average call for farm help
indicates that Minnesota farmers are
going into the field determined to re-
coup their losses and bring agriculture
''back to- normally" as thoroughly as
individual effort can accomplish that
result, federation officers said.
"The farmer is playing the game
L. E. Potter, president of
the federation, said. "Lots Of unin-
formed folks have been saying that
the farmer was hampering the coun-
try in the reconstruction period by
refusing to take his losses, curtailing
production and delaying payment Of
his debt. This survey shows that the
farmer is doing everything in his
power to come back. He is willing to |
produce all his farm can raise and to

DIR. ]. A. O. Stub, President of the
Lutheran Brotherhood of America,
says, Lutheran men in the state are
of the firm belief that the time has ar
rived when definite steps should be
taken in the formation of a permanent
state organization. Opportunities
await the church on every hand to
day for doing active christian work
among thousands of Lutheran men in
this commonwealth. Many of these
are being lost through the lack OF a
proper organization. The Lutheran
brotherhood affords an effective in
strumentality through which they may
be sliced. This organization was
formed for religious, benevolent and
patriotic purposes. It's chief objects
are to lead men into fellowship with
Christ and to encourage them to be
faithful to their own congregations.

COMMITTEE OF II
REPORTS APRIL 6

the national sales agency for the grain
raised by it's members. Where farm
ers' cooperative elevator does not ex-
exist, local cooperative ASSOCIATION
composed Of grain growers only will
be organized and contracts between it
and the national sales agency. The
local cooperative associationsts will
provide local elevator facilities, eth
er by contracting with existing ele-
vator companies or by leasing, buy
ing or building elevators. Probably
non-co-operative elevator companies
will be asked to change their form
Of organization so as to be able to
share in the work of the national sales
agency.
Grower Has Option.
It should be clearly understood
that the option of the method Of dis
posing of his grain rests entirely with
the grower. He may consign his
grain to the local cooperative ele-
yator for exclusive sales through the
national sales agency, or ne may vote
to pool his grain and provide for it's
sale through the national sales agency.
Provision probably will be made. so
that two or more elevators or local
grain growers associations may pool
their grain, when the pool is approved
BY three ourths of the members Of
each local group.
The plan will be submitted to con-
vention of all farmers, marketing or
