WHAT'S MERE COLD TO FIREFIGHTERS Excitement of the Run and Fighting Blaze Keeps Them Warm.

During the past week or so when , the mercury baa hovered around the aero mark there have been quite a few firea and the firemen of the varloua hose companies -have been obliged

to work overtime. Riding on a hose wagon which la traveling at a rapid rate, agalnat winda which bite savagely, would not seem pleasant to the curious persons who witness the spectacular runs of the fire companies as they flash by them. But, according to the more experienced firemen, the cold la not felt, because the excitement of a "run" and the anticipation of fighting a fire gives them no time to think of the cold. "The excitement while going to a fire and doing our best to get the blase under control keeps us warm no matter how cold the weather is," said Frank Carter, assistant fire chief. "Just to show how warm excitement and action does keep you I can cite you cases when local firemen have been almost covered with Ice while fighting fires, and although icicles have bung from their helmets they i were as warm as they could be. But it Is when the fire is over and the return to the horite houses begins that we begin to feel the cold, because the excitement Is oven then." It Is said that the excitement has carried many persons dangerously ill, through harrowing fire experiences, without ill effects. At a recent fire an illustration of the above was given. An aged man, suffering from heart trouble and confined to his bed, was to be removed from the house when other persons in the house noticed that there was a fire in the flue. The relatives and friends of the invalid displayed perturbation while the aged man was very calm. The excitement seemed to act as a stimulant to him. However, the doubt arises as to whether the outwardly calm condition or a sick person is due to the stimulant received from the excitement attending danger, or whether it is simply lethargy.

Modern Farm Machinery a Cause For Farmers Prosperity Today

BY ISAAC L. TOTTKN. On these cold days we can do little else than sit by the fire and read and sleep and dream. Of course, the chores must be atended to; but after they are done we hike back to the fire. There is nothing more conducive to sleep or to reveries than a good old rousing fire. Somehow the mind seems to want to be doing something all the time whether the man does or does not. We have read of how some of the orientals have a certain portion of each day set aside for complete relaxation, and during that time they retire to a Bmall room where they lie down; and, without going to sleep, practically erase themselves from the world both in mind and body. This might be an easy task for an orriental, but for an American well, we don't believe that many normal individuals here could stand for that. As we Bat by the fire the other day, we thought we would try this erasing stunt Just to see what it would be like and incidently pass the time until the mail carrier brought the Palladium. We draped ourselves over a well-cushioned, comfortable rocking chair just spread out, as it were, like "thin molasses on warm country bread." The stove radiated a soothing warmth not too hot and not too cold. The baby was asleep, and our good wife was .busy darning our box. We had no fear that our vanishing act would be interrupted by conversation from our better three-fourths, because we had already talked ourselves out of conversation, and knew fully well just what each other would say if we released the clutch to our talking apparatus. The conditions for the erasing were Just ideal; but from some unknown cause, we didn't seem to erase very satisfactorily. Instead there began in our alleged brain a panoramic, jumbled retrospection of the "yesterdays." Our every-day thoughts being mostly of an agricultural nature, the trend of our retrospection was naturally along that line. There seemed to be one thought, or where our thoughts wandered they would swing back to that one which seemed to demand more than passing consideration. This thought was: that the modern farm machines have been a very important factor in bringing about the present prosperity of the farmer.

The thought, was not solely of how these farm implements are in a large measure responsible for the farmer's prosperity, but also of the part they have played in bringing into existence this new type of agriculturist.

There came to us a recent saying of one who is high up in the sales force of the world's greatest farm implement company. This is what he said: "We do not know no one ever will know for how much of his (the new j farmer) prosperity we (the imprement company) are responsible, but certain ft is that until the advent of modern i farm machines, the farmer cut very little figure in the polite life of the nation; certain it is that we have given Jiim the best and the most useful machines ever placed in the hands of man; and certain it is that we have left no stone unturned to teach him their uses or to keep them in shape for him." This evolution of metamorphosis of the farmer has been going on since time began, but it is only within the past decade that the most noticeable changes have taken place. Perhaps it would be better to say that it is only during this ten years just past that the writer has been most impressed by this transforming process; because if our thoughts should carry us ack very many decades, we would have to depend mainly on imagination, and as our imagination is not very fertile or vivid we might get into trouble. "It is the conditions that have bred the man or the man that has bred the conditions," thus ran our thoughts through the panoramic maze. And the answer came back that the whole process is reactionary. Not in the sence which this term is used today in connection with politics, but in the sense that each has been instrumental in breeding the other. Such conditions as higher land values, higher wages, increased demands for farm products, shifting of population from food-producing to food-consuming occupations and localities, and the reduced fertility of land resulting in lower average production or increased expenditures for fertilization have made this new farmer. He may be the "hayseed" of yesterday, but his point of view has changed. Most of us work best under pressure a certain kind of pressure and the farmer is not an exception. Once in a box, as they say at a ball game, we put forth greater energy

than when there seems to be no stress whatever. The farmer found himself in a box as it were;' and. although it took considerable time for him to find his bearings he finally got straightened out and began to put them over to the tune of three times and out even while the bases were full. He saw that it was impossible to

cope with these modern conditions with antiquated equipment. The boys from the lack of incentive on the farm j had gone to the cities where the out- j look seemed more bright, the girls also had banished the thoughts of ever being farmer's wives and deserted the ! old farm home to become book-keepers, stenographers and toilers in department stores where they had better chances to decoy a nine dollar-a-week clerk or shop man who was much better off and had betterprospects for the future at that time than the farmer seemed to have. The farmer and his wife left there on the farm all alone to fight the battle saw that the old hand methods of doing the farm work were not adequate and that to ever attain anything on the farm under the new conditions they must have mechanical aid the same as the factory men in the cities had.

While the fanner was arriving at this conclusion the farm implement manufacturer was also doing a little thinking; and the people in general began to help solve the farmer's problems. Not by coming out to the farms and lending a hand, but by intelligent advice. Of course, the most important of this outside help was that of the farm implement manufacturer, because he supplied that which enabled the farmer to do the work of many men working by hand. And the manufacturer taught the farmer how to use these new tools which would enable him to meet the demands brought about by the changed conditions. Not only do these modern farm ma

chines enable the farmer to do more work, but they make his work lees arduous. Paraphrasing a remark heard recently: modern, farm amchines have been among the most important factors in generating this new type of agriculturist a more appreciating, more intelligent, and more opulent farmer. We are well under way in this new era of co-operation; of elimination of waste; and of scientific management in the conduct of business.
