FARMERS URGED TO
Ate FIRE CAUSES

The old slogan of IAN ounce
of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" is particularly apt in
the problem of farm fires which
take a heavy toll of life and
property each year in the Uni
ted States, extension service Of
ficials say.
Last year alone farm fires in
the U. S. caused the loss of s.
900 lives and $95, 900 900 in prop.
erty damage. For this reason
farmers are urged to check up
on their heating equipment,
flues and chimneys this fall be-
fore they are put into continued
use during the winter months.
Even a few simple precau-
lions such as a barrel of water,
pals and a ladder kept handy
for immediate use in the event
of fire will help prevent and
control farm fires. Speed is es-
sential in fighting farm fires
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1939-09-07

and a convenient ladder makes
any roof fire quickly accessible.
Other precautions that will
help lower the number of farm
fires is care in storing gasoline
and kerosene, careful disposal
of rubbish and hot ashes, and
frequent inspection of electric
al wiring and appliances.
And although it has been said
over and over, don't start a fire
with gasoline, kerosene or diStil-
late. Tragedies still happen ev-
cry week in the year on farm
homes from this cause.

H. B. Foote, water and sewage

up his schoolhouse. His daily
work began at 600 in the
morning and seldom finished
before 800 or 900 in the eve
nings. After that he had his
lessons to get for school the
next day and 1870 or 1900
midnight saw him hitting the
hay" for a well-earned rest.
Sundays and holidays were days
for extra work and extra mon
ey, in order to build up a small
reserve for the time between
jobs and in order that he
could continue his schooling.
But in the spring Of 1899,
his great day had arrived, and
he received his high cshool di-

Mont. Young Cooper was now in
a position to make a big change
of his lifetime, the decision of
which he had made five years
before. He was ready to join
the United States Navy.
But the nearest Navy Recruit
ing station was 126 miles away,
and buses and railroads cost
money!. So grabbing his trusty
bicycle in hand, he headed OUT
over rough and unpaved noun
tain roads, for the Navy recruit
ing station at Missoula, Mont.
Not that this torturous trip over
unimproved uountain roads
wasn't enough, he battled
squalls and rains during the
greater part of the trip. Arriv-
ing at Missoula the Navy re-
cruiter pronounced him fit and
told him to go back and await

his call. Young Cooper was so
elated at the almost certain
prospect of joining the Navy,
that the return trip of 126 miles,
which had taken him one and
one-half days in coming, was
made in seven hours. We can
envision this sincere and hon.
est young man, tossing caution
to the winds, and breaking all
the speed laws of the state of
Montana, in his happy surge to
get back to his w~ork-a-day rou-
tine and await his call for en-
liStment.
Cooper was called for enlist
ment with the August quota,
and enlisted in the U. S. Navy
for six years on Tuesday, Aug
ust Is, 1889. All his friends and
those who knew him, and were
familiar with his five-year am
bition to join the navy were on
hand at the railroad station in
this small town to wish him
Bon Voyage and the best of
luck. The world pays homage
to those who strive against al
most insurmountable odds with
unfaltering courage and shares
in the happiness when the goal
is attained.
The U. S. navy is proud to &C
cept this young man of such
sterling character into her fold,
and our prediction is that in
the years to come, he will go
far in his chosen field.

as we'll as under the Clayton Act. The
suits already fled in Connecticut will
be duplicated in Massachusetts,.
Evidently, the trucking companies
are taking a cue from the Apex case,
in which the federal district court has
soaked the union $711,000.
No friend of labor wants labor to
be lawless; though one of the wisest
of federal judges, in following up-as
he had to-the Wilkerson injunction
in the railroad strike of 1922, declared
that strikebreakers were at least as
much inclined to violence as strikers,
and forbade both the same acts. But
a deliberate campaign to break unions
by lawsuits is simply not to be con-
doned. The A. F. of L. raised the
money to pay the damages in the Dan
bury Hatters case. The C. %. is
rallying behind the workers in the
Apex case. The case should be car
ried to the Supreme Court; and if that
court upholds this financial threat,
labor will be forced to go into the
next election to repeal the laws.

FRIDAY, APRIL Ia, 1889.
FIRING THE CUSTOMERS

Ten thousand, eight hundred P. w. A
workers have been laid off in New
York City, They were laid off be-
cause it became clear that Congress
was going to cut the work relief funds.
That practically all labor is against
such cut is clear. But what is quite
unexplained is how people talking
about recovery can think they will
find it in this fashion. It's been tried.
Cutting w. P. A. expenditures threw
prosperity into down-spin more than
two years ago. Increased expend-
itures started business up again; and
again came the agitation for a cut
which already has had bad results.
Where" as the Philadelphia Rec
ord puts the case, ''is the economy in
firing the customers ?"
Col. Harrington, when he succeeded
to the headship of the w. P. A., laid
down a principle that is bound to be-
come permanent. He said, in sub
stance, that the worker who can work
has right to public employment if
private industry cannot give him a
job. The more steadily the country
works toward that goal, the fewer and
less violent will be the ups and downs
in business.

OPPOSITION is INDISPENSABLE

The opposition in a democratic sys-
TEN is indispensable. A good states
man always learns more from his op-
ponents than from his fervent sup
porters. For his supporters will push
him to disaster unless his opponents
show him where the dangers are. So
if he is wise, he will often pray to be
delivered from his friends because
they will ruin him. But, though it
hurts, he ought also to pray never to
be left without opponents. For they
keep him on the path of reason and
good sense.-Walter Lippmann.
