Now is the time to stop forest fires by not having any, from the American Forestry association. The Minnesota fire last year is still fresh in the public mind and when it is estimated the fire loss in 1918 was $28,500,000 and that 8,400,000 acres were burned, every precaution should be taken by summer campers. Here are some donts to be posted on every tent door flap: Dont throw your match away until! you are sure it is out. Dont drop cigarette or cigar butts " ' Until the glow is extinguished. Dont knock out your pipe ashes While hot or where they will fall into dry leaves or other inflammable material. Dont build a camp fire any larger than is absolutely necessary. Dont leave a fire until you are sure it is out ; if necessary smother it With earth or water. Dont burn brush or refuse in or near the woods if there is any chance the fire may spread beyond your control, or that the wind may carry sparks where they would start a new fire. Dont be any more careless wilh fire in the woods than you are in your own home. Dont be idle when you discover a fire in the woods; if you cannot put it' out yourself, get help. Where a forest guard, ranger or state fire warden can be reached, call him on the nearest telephone you can find.

Recognized Good roads are the greatest economic need for agricultural communities. - This is the answer of 200 prominent fanners of the state of Maine to questionnaires which asked them to summarize urgent necessities to bring their districts up to the desired economic standard. The farmers who answered the questionnaires were selected as those best fitted to answer the questions, and they were asked to furnish a digest of the situation in their respective communities with reference to acreage, crops, farm improvements, civic and social conditions, etc. The definitions of the greatest needs covered a wide and Interesting range.
