Fire losses take a heavy toll from industries every year. It is a mistaken idea to think that insurance companies pay these losses. The people pay. The insurance companies act merely as a distributor or clear- ing house, collect premiums on policies and disburse these pre- miums for fire losses and oper- ating expenses. = The lower fire losses can be brought, the lower premiums can be charged. The insurance company prevents the loss fallmg on an individual or industry as a crushing financial burden. Take the timber industry alone. ; : Figures presented at the An- nual Meeting of Western Fores- try & Conservation Association at Portland, Oregon, show near- ly two billion feet of standing timber killed in 1918, the worst fire season since 1910, of ewhich more than nine hundred million feet is beyond salvage. This en- tailed a loss of $6,500,000 to Pacific states and is only one item of fire waste. E. T. Allen, of the association, in the interest of fire protective eral appropriation under Weeks law from $100,000 to $500,000, as the $100,000 is no longer suf- ficient to cover the additional states which have qualified un- der the act. The dry season is coming on and every person should make it point to help cut down our terri- ble fire wastage. BIG PROBLEMS PENDING .

Like- wise there are such matters as taxes, the budget system and other details that directly affect which have a bearing on the cost of living, both directly and indirectly. The need of states- manship was never more pro- nounced Congress has great tasks to perform, for in addition to the problems at home their are foreign questions to consid- er that are perhaps the greatest RANDALL’S ae i” The Place To Get Those FRESH ROASTED PEANUTS and that i FRESH BUTTERKIST POP CORN “Listen!” says the Good Judge— . ‘*And remember it, too:” The better the quality of your chew, the more you’ll erjoy it.

Stopping construction during war makes demand for building now imperative. Millions of returning soldiers are establishing new homes for themselves. Releasing railroads and public utilities from public ownership will make enormous demands for lumber and steel. Successful termination of the League of Nations will give a great forward impulse to all activities and. industries. With high prices for farm products _ and __ livestock, ” the amount of building. that will be work, is urging increase in fed-| . dent Wilson the members will | the handling of public funds and: “Take our word for it, Nell, you’ll never spend time again making your own dresses, once you’ve worn a Mina Taylor” There are a lot of tremendously important and necessary things for every woman to do nowadays.
