The High Cost of Indiana Fires The loss in Indiana in-five years amounted to $26,556,541, or an annual average of $5,311,309, according to figures just published by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. The data has been collected from reports on 63,000 fires, to which 25 per cent has been added to cover fires that vere not reported. ;The" board finds that 32.2 per cent of the fires, representing a loss of $8,561,427, were strictly preventable, 44 per cent partly preventable, and 23.8 per cent were of unknown origin. Statisticians have figured that the total loss in five years would have built 5,311 houses costting $5,000 each, or would have constructed 2,655 miles of macadam road at $10,000 per mile. We still have to learn the lesson of fire prevention in this country. Our negligence in making frequent inspections of our buildings and our carelessness in the matter of , combustibles are responsible for the loss of material which never can be restored. There was a time when the loss of the timber that entered into the construction of a residence or factory meant little, for vast areas covered with trees quickly replenished the material for the new structure. But those days are gone for,ever. The lumber that is used in the construction of a building is shipped a long distance and is becoming scarce. Its destruction by fire is an irretrievable loss. The New Attack on the Primary Opponents of the direct primary law are rallying their forces for another attack on the primary measure. They admit that their first bill was so loosely drawn that its opponents had no trouble in tearing it to pieces. Now they propose to present a measure that may prove more acceptable to the men who defeated the original measure. Sentiment in Indiana just now will not toler
ate amendments to the primary law unless they! are drafted for the purpose of strengthening the act. Every move to weaken the inherent theory of the law, which gives to the people the right to nominate their candidates forxpublic office, will be resented and bitterly fought. " The people guard closely their rights and seldom relinquish a portion of them without opposition. It took them a long time to take the nomination of candidates out of the hands of practical politicians, and they will not permit some members of the general assembly to restore all or part of this privilege to the political bosses. Every amendment will be examined closely to ascertain if it weakens or strengthens the power of the people in controlling the nominations, and it is safe to assert that every amendment inimical to the rights of the people will be defeated.
How To Start the Day Wrong
The Human Side of Farm Life One of the noticeable features of farm institute programs is the attention that is being paid to the social and domestic life of the farmer. Rural life, formerly devoid of social activities and opportunities for relaxation and amusement, is being raised to a new level. - The farmer knows that he cannot keep his boys and girls on the farm unless he provides for their social life. Consequently he is making his home attractive, is buying devices to lighten the work of his wife and daughter, and is providing the family with opportunity to keep in touch with his neighbors and friends by means of the telephone and automobile. The development of the cultural and social phases of farm life is receiving attention from his organizations and in the institutes which he arranges. And, on the other hand, the urban dweller who still believes that the farmer is enduring the privations of the pioneers will be surprised to see the comforts and conveniences which the average farm home possesses. The farmer and his family are social units of great importance. Perhaps the best read men,

By ED HOWE How is a fortune made? In seven cases out of ten, this is the process: A young man finds himself with a wife, and a family of children coming on. He works and savs with a view of providing for them. From an expert workman, he becomes proprietor in a small way, and works long hours. He discovers that the more reliable he is the better his wofd, the more temperate and industrious he is, the more he helps his community the more his business grows. In the course of time, his little business becomes a big business, because of being well managed. Finally, along toward old age, he becomes well to do. And at forty and fifty, he practices fairness and politeness more steadily than he did as a young man, having discovered with advancing age that these qualities are more important than any other. At forty, fifty or sixty he is more reliable than he was at twenty or thirty, when a small business man or a high-class workman. In short, his fortune is made by long devotion to work and to good human principles.

SILK SHIRTS. I sadly view the silken shirts I bouebt some months ago (ah, me, the recollection hurts!) at fifteen bucks a throw. Tho world was then revolving well, the roos was hanging high; if anv man had junk to sell,
II was on bard to buy. Tho haberdasher said that day, in confidential tones, "Now, here's a shirt of blue and gray I'll soil you for two bones; ! of honest goods this shirt is made. I of fabric good as steel; it will not i warp or shrink or fade, or ravel at j the heel." "What sort of skate," I I asked that guy, "do you suppose I j am? I don't buy things unless they're ' high all cheap things are a sham.
I am no piker, friend of mine my roubles grow on trees; so show me silks that gleam and shine, and drop the wear-well wheeze." And now my once proud spirit, sags, when I look in my trunk; the silken shirts are all in rags, the lot not. worth a plunk. And times have sadly changed since then and once blithe hearts aj-e sore, and kopecks, marks and iron men grow on the trees no more! The postholo
works where I'm employed are drop-'
ping men each day, and there may be an aching void where once I drew my pay. The briny from my sad eyes squirts, I heave a sigh of woe, when I survey those silken shirts I bought some months ago.

In 1919 the government succeeded in opening the Porto Rican market to cattle from the islands. About $30,000 worth of cattle were exported, and it is thought that the cattle-raising industry will eventually become an important one. Exportation of cattle to Porto Rico formerly was prohibited on the ground that the Virgin Islands were in the tick-infested When were playing cards introduced? Playing cards were brought to Europe from the East about the time of the crusade, about 1100, very likely by the home-returning warriors. The gypsies, who at that time began to wander over Europe, are said to have introduced them, using them as they do. now for telling fortunes. The first packs contained seventyeight cards, including four suits of numbered cards, and twenty-two emblematic picture cards, which served as trumps. The numbered cards were marked with swords, cups, sticks and money. Each of these suits consisted
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adama, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up-. FOOTPRINTS I recently became interested in a new writer. He wrote brilliantly. One admirer even stated that his brain was "the clearing house for the best progressive thought of its time." And yet, it was written that "nothing remanded of him but a few books." In my judgment something vaster was left behind the man himself! For though not many books were left of him, still because I, for one, have been so inspired by him there must have been left something very rich that is bound to accumulate. Tomorrow somebody else will discover him, too, and find the wealth that I have uncovered. A man leaves bis footprints behind. He cannot walk, or think, or dc without something being found out. We now .unearth the tracks of those who were wont to roam this earth a thousand years or more ago.

It remains for us all to take care that our tracks are worth uncovering in the Sometime that is hidden in the Far-away. It won't matter how we dressed or how we ate or whether we made few or many mistakes. It will matter most that we did right more times than we did wrong.
