It's Farm Fire Season; These
Hints May Prevent Damage

BOZEMAN-With the season at
hand when maturing grass and
vegetation create a serious fire haz-
ard, the Montana agricultural ex-
tension service calls attention to
ways TO prevent fires and to control
them should they get started.
That rural fires are a serious prob
lem is borne out by the National
Fire Protection association, which
estimates that 500 ,000, 900 or about
a third of the nations annual fire
loss occurs on farms, extension
workers say. Any steps that farm
erS can take to prevent fires and 10
control them when they do break
out will save lives, needed food, and
valuable buildings and equipment.
Everyone can help prevent fires
by: /. Making sure matches are
dead out; 2. BY careful disposal CT
cigarettes and other smoking ma
terials; 3. Not burning old straw
piles or rubbish during the fire sea-
son; 4. BY cleaning up all trash n
grass around farmsteads; 5. BY
blowing fire guards around buildings
and haystacks; 6. By careful use OF
lamps and lanterns, and by having
heating and electrical equipment in
safe condition.
To help control fires, have: l. bar
rels filled with water at convenient
places and buckets near the barrels
for farm building fires; 2. Ladders
handy and long enough to reach
the roof for building fires; 3. Hav-
ing shovels, beaters, mattccks, fire
pumps and other equipment located
for immediate action against grass
fires a. Having a community fire
control organization.

CareleSSneSS Is
Cause Of Eleven
Motor Car Deaths

HELENA, Mont.-Eleven people
died and % were injured in motor
accidents throughout Montana in
July. Two deaths resulted from ex-
ceSsive speed; three were driving on
the wrong side of the road resulting
in collisions with other arS Iour
were hit by railroad trains; one
failed to stop at a stop sign; and
one was riding on the outside OF a
car and fell off. All we're the result
of carelessness; all could have been
prevented by just a little care, &C
cording to Charles L. Sheridan, sup
ervisor of the Montana Highway
Patrol.
Since that time many things have
happened. The war has come to an
end and gasoline rationing has been
lifted. The ODT has relaxed its
speed regulations, and we have had
eighty-five accidents on the high
ways of Montana. Eight people are
dead; thirty-seven were injured,
twelve of these in one accident.
Booze was the cause of this me. Two
cars coming from a dance ran past
warning flares and hit a stalled
truck. On two other occasions cars

road ran into buses; one load with
thirty-eight passengers and one
with thirty-three. Fortunately, no
one "a hurt on either bus, but eth
er of these accidents could have been
bad.
A check of the causative factor in
these accidents shows that six were
the result Of too much speed, seven
c~enter-line driving o. OF the wrong
side of the road; two driving too
closely to the car ahead; n failure
to give signal before turning; two
careless pedestrians; three a out
of control. In fact, it's the same
old story-recklessness, careleSsness,
thoughtlessness; but it is on the in
crease and now with gas rationing
lifted there will be more people on
the road and the cars will still be old
cars; the tires will still be synthetic
and will not stand up under high
-.
All of these things are going to add
to the toll of highway accidents
the drivers come to realize
that driving is a full-time job; learn
the rules of the road and obey them;
and above all, realize that the cars
they are driving are old. that they
won't be able to get another car
for at least two years, and that 1t
has been conclusively proven that
synthetic tires will not stand up I'M
der high speed. /
If our motorists wish to live and
let live, they must learn to drive
carefully, Mr.. Sheridan said. There
will be a lot of cars on the highways
over Labor Day-let us hope that
here will be no one killed or in

Montana farmers may penalizs
themselves If they pay too much
attention TO the current campaign
to discourage the additional pur-
chase Of farm lands. says John w,
Haw Of st. Paul. head of the ag-
ricuitural development division of
the Northern Pacific railway.
Haw agrees that land prices have
shown a sharp increase In the last
few years but points out that the
rise started from an extremely low
point and says that land, on the
average, is selling lower today in
Montana than in the 1904 parity
period, when interest rates were
higher.
Farm prices. Haw says, natural
ly should be judged on the basis
of average production and with full
consideration of the fact that farms
of the nation produced at 1873 per-
cent of normal in 1914, largely as a
result of extremely favorable CHM
attic conditions.

Behind US lie 81 years of deadly struggle in which,
with Gods help, we have prevailed.
So, today, we celebrate a victory.
After the celebration, what lies ahead?
For most of us, the outlook is a bright one. If we will
simply use the brains, the will, the energy, the enter
prise the materials and resources =. with which
we won our war, we can't fail to win the peace and to
make this the richest, happiest land the world has
known.
For most of us, the years ahead are bright with
promise. But for others of us-and, ironically enough.
their part in bringing victory was a major one-the
years to come must bear a different look.
In America today are hundreds of thousands of in
jured men. Men with neatly p~inned-up sleeves and
trousers. Blinded men. Men with clever iron hooks
instead of hands. Worst of all, men with hurt and dark
ened minds.

Grandma knew her groceries"
all right: She wrapped fruits and
vegetables in wet clothes, because
they need mild cold combined with
high humidity to keep them fresh.
Otherwise they wilt and lose their
vitamins. Which explains why they
should be stored in the refrigerator
until used.

These men need our help. Helping them will cost a
great deal of money. We can help them best by buying
Victory Bonds.
Far away from America today are millions of Ameri-
cans. AS we would be, they're on fire to get back-to
their wives, to the children some of them have never
seen, to their jobs.
These men need our help. Helping them will cost a
great deal of money. And we can help them best by
buying Victory Bonds.
This is our day of triumph. But it's theirs too-the
injured men, the men who are still far away.
Let's not forget them, in our just rejoicing. And the
one way we can help most to care for our wounded -.
to bring our veterans home to give them fresh start
in the country they fought for :. to care for the fam
lilies of those who died before the victory was won -.
is simply this:
Buy all the Bonds you can. Keep all the Bonds you buy.

By Iona L. TROTT
Written for NEA Service

THERE must have been re-
joicing in baby-land when the
news went around that tight alb
dominal bands were no longer
the vogue!
Not many years ago, the tight
band was considered necessary
for the support of the abdominal
walls and to keep the new baby
from developing a hernia. Now
the doctors tell us that the most
we can expect Of the band Is to
hold the cord dressing in place.
1t need not be tight for that pur-
pose. The baby's band should
be pinned just snugly enough %
keep II from wrinkling down.
Always put your fingers under
the band when pinning 1t, to be
sure that you do not stick ths
baby with the pin.
The band can be discarded As
soon as the navel Is healed. II
the weather Is cold and you feel
that the baby needs the extra
warmth Of the band, substitute a
sleeveless vest under the shirt.
This should be drawn on over
the feet instead Of over the
head, because it apparently
frightens . baby to have his
face covered up.
DESERVES MONUMENT
The person who first thought
Of making baby clothes open all
the way down the back deserves
q monument. They are much
easier to put on and remove, and
much easier to iron than the old
fashined kind. They are also
more comfortable and more easi-
ly kept dry, because they can
be pushed aside when the baby
Is laid down, bunchiness under
him.
The modern mother uses mar
row tape ties instead Of buttons
on her baby clothes. and not
only saves time In the making,
but also In dressing and undress-
Ing the BABY. Speaking Of dress
ing the baby, be sure to gather
the sleeve UP to the shoulder and
hold it with one hand while with
the other you reach through,
grasp the baby's hand, and draw
II through the sleeve. This
avoids the possibility Of catching
the little fingers In the sleev'
and banding them backyard.

EDUCATIONAL CRISIS

The inevitable postwar crisis in American edu-
cotton is at hand Tens Of thousands Of teachers who
left the profession for better paying war jobs have
no inclination to return And no can blame
them.
The average rurol teachers soIory, according to
the National Education Association. is $3.50 year.
In urban schools the average pay is $l955. Conse-
quentIy there is acute shortage Of competent
teachers, especially in rural areas.
More than q third Of the countrys 9OOOOO
teachers are new to their jobs Some $1,000 are
reaching on emergency certificates In our l75OOO
.one-to-three teacher ruroI schools throughout the
country. so per cent Of the teachers have had less
than two years Of college education.
Thus far the stotes have eIuded any federal in
reference in control Of their educational systems
which might have supplemented existing school SOL
cries. Theoretically stote control Of education has
tradition and good sense on its side. But too many
stotes take advantage Of this to pay teachers what
in this doy, scarcely amounts to subsistence wges.
Today, better-poid workers with strong orgoni-
zotion are receiving or being promised peoeetine
pay increases to match high living costs. Today the
