CURTIS PEACE
Approximately $159,000,000
worth of property is destroyed
each year by farm fires. This
does not take into account pos-
sible waste of foodstuffs or of
labor. Among the most impor-
tant causes are spontaneous
ignition of hay, grain, feeds
and other agricultural pro-
ducts; lightning, defective
chimneys and heating outfits
and sparks on combustible
roofs. Other causes include
carelessness in handling
matches or in smoking, care-
lessness in nsing and storing
gasoline and kerosene, and
faulty electrical wiring. In
connection with the spontane-
ous ignition of hay stored in
farm buildings, such material
inundated by the notable Ver-
mont floods heated rapidly af-
ter the water receded, one bam
which stood in five feet of wa-
ter burning only three days af-
ter the ildod.
This spontaneous heating of
hay and other products will, be
one of the first problems con-
sidered by the bureau of
chemistry and soils. United
States department of agricul-
ture, which is making a study
of ways and means of prevent-
ing this huge loss. Co-operat-
ing with the department spe-
cialists are various prominent
insurance and fire protection
organizations.
Flour manufacturers, includ-
ing Washburn-Crosby and Red
Star, organized a $50,000,900
combination, largest flour mill-
ing concern in the world.
That’s in the line of modem
methods, big units, small over-
head, powerful marketing.

JULY
Clearance
This new* will interest farm-
ers and make them wish some-
body could show them how to
organize. The first thing, and
absolutely necessary, is to or-
ganize and intensify methods
of production. An old-fash-
ioned blacksmith could not
compete with a modem auto-
mobile factory.
Childish talk of "necessary.
Competition” and prattle about
keeping business front getting
“too big” are out of date.
Where nations combine to
monopolize world business,
great American units must
combine for self defense.
Possibly some one will find
a way to help our farmer*
form such a combination.
They need it.
Unusual values are offered here during
our July Clearance Sale, and to the thrifty cus-
tomer desiring to save on needed summer mer-
chandise our big assortment of summer goods
offers wonderful opportunities. Only a few
of the bargains to be found here . during
July Clearance Sale—

Treat ’Em Rough, Sophs
The young man walked
down the street one shoe off
and bis coat turned inside out.
A • policeman stopped him.
“What’s the idea?” he de-
manded.
“Well, you see, it’s this way,
replied the young man. “Pm
taking a course at a corre-
spondence school and yester-
day those darn sophomores
wrote and told me to haze my-
self ”
In place of paper money,
meaning little to peasants and
working people, the French
again will see gold and silver
coins in circulation.
The grosse piece, size and
weight of our silver dollar, will
not come back. Worth five
francs before the war. it
would be worth twenty-five
francs now. But ten-franc
silver pieces worth forty cents
will be coined, and the French
will feel that they are work-
ing for REAL MONEY.
Stabilizing the franc is a
boon to all Europe, ending
financial disorder that has
lasted ten years.
It is a great achievement by
Poincare, worthy successor of
Thiers, Turgot, Necker, Sully,
and a long list of brilliant
French statesmen.

Sir James Barrie tells
Rhodes’ scholars not to in for

humorous, probably. Trying
for greatness produces desir-
able mediocrity. Men “aim
high to shoot low” as the illi-

he asked Grover Cleveland to
make him Librarian of Con-
gress. He really wanted a
job as porter.

Winfield R. Sheehan, who
knows about moving pictures,
says screens will be much big-
ger for large sized theatres
now building everywhere.
That will make it necessary to
revise production methods.
Most important for budding
genius, he says the “talking

of scenario writers, ;Vr,o\ding
how to make sound effective in
pictures. ,
In a detective story, noise of
a creaking board, or a shot,
might be more effective than
the hero’s smile.
Mr. Sheehan believes that

afflicted this town for more

The verdict in the ease wax
returned by a jury, which
found that the land in qaagtion
was a “vacancy” and not in-
cluded in any of the existing
surveys. The land is situated
in Hutchinson county. The
rash award was in settlement
for profits made by the oil
companies during their opera-
tions on the acreage.
The judgments are: $316,-
