Come in and Estate of M. HOURIGAN and thus take the safety of your home, your household and your furniture out ©of the domain of mere luck. g For luck is a mighty _onsartin creetur, as yowll admit. Not ‘ all farmers whose chimneys take fire have the luck of these two of whom I have written. The number of such houses burned during a year, owing to what is usually reported as “a defective chimney,” startles one when he begins to reckon them up. Judging from what | have seen and heard, I suspect that quits as many of these fires come from carelessness in one’s chimney §s from defects in the chimney itself. Even if there are defects developing in the brick-work, it is apt to be care- lessness which ignores them and lets them develop into dangers. So much about chimneys and chim- ney-fires. Thinking of them, particularly, has set me to thinking about other di- rections in which carelessness, heed- lessness, thoughtlessness, disregard of plain symptoms or warnings, leads us farmerg into risks and losses which we might avoid or at least minimize by more foresight and shrewder observa- tion and—less lazine: Not that I consider farmers as_spe- cial sinners in this regard. From my experience with carpenters and Blacksmiths and post office clerks and congressmen, I should say that the pots are just about as black as the kettles The extent to which they can mislay and lose things, the degree of forgetfulness to which they can attain the “didn’t-know-it-was-loaded” atti- tude whick they are always so prompt to take—all these are quite as com- mon in other callings as on farms, But we are just a_bunch of farmers talking things over between ourselves ana what we say here doesn’t go any further. Besides, it is well for us to remember that we can see better hov to remove the motes in other eyes after the beams have been extracted Our very existence depends upon our have foresight and -taking fore- thought. We couldn’t live through a single New England winter if we hadn’t expected it and prepared for it We had to bin our potatoes and pick our apples and make our cider for vin- egar and get our firewood and put up our stoves and get our mittens and our heavy boots before winter really set in or we should have frozen or starved when it came. Farther than that; we had, last spring, when the preceding winter wasn't fairly over, to make our plans for ralsing the crops which the sum- mer shoulg mature for this present winter's needs. We are, perforce, compelled to look ahead, if we expect the ghost of a chance to live long enough ever tn look behind. All our work is a sort of “long distance” call into the future We don’t hoe potatoes or weed onions for anything the potatoes or _onions pay us, that dav, but for something we hope and expect them to pay us, months ahead. If there’s any one calling on earth which ought to train its followers to long-sighted prepared- ness, it's ours. tem—or rather who are almost never prepared either for a fire in the chimney or an irrup- tion of Colorado beetles in the potato patch. “John, John, the bugs're jest eatin up them pertaters. Hain’t there no Paris green left? Then you'll hev to £0_to town and git some. He was in town only last week. He knew then—or ought to have kmown —that the beetles were about due. He knew then—or ought to have known— that he had no poison for them on But he “never thought” about bugs, and he “forgot” that he was out of Paris green. So the bugs had a freo hand while John hitched up and used 2 long half day in going to town and getting a pound of Paris green. And 2 half day's work by ’steen million po- tato bugs on a few acres of green tops means a reduction of quite a few bushels of $2 tubers In the crop.

Kennedy Died Friday Af- ter Short lliness. 0 does forethonght. Frederick A. Kennedy, 37, died on Friday morning at his home on Main street. An illness that dated only from Wednesday of last week and which, hoping against hope, all who knew him fervently wished he might over- come, brousht to an untimely end one of the most promising careers of Dan- lelson business men. Mr. Kennedy had been_indisposed prior to the develop- ment of pneumonia during the last week, but had insisted upon returning to business before he had sufficiently regainea his strength. When his_condition became critical a few days ago unusual solicitude was expressed for him upon all sides, and the announcement of his death Fri- day morning was one of unusual sol- emnity for many people. Mr. Kennedy was born in the town of Plainfield, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Kennedy. He attended the graded schools of Plainfield and later, when the family had removed to Dan- ielson, the schools here. He was a student in Killingly High school in 1893, when he entered the employ of the ‘Windham County National bank as bookkeeper, later becoming paying teller of the institution and eventually in September, 1903, becoming cashier of the institution. In Novembér, 1903, Mr. Kennedy re- signed his position in the bank and became associated with his father in the coal and wood business. In 1906 he became identified with the General Supply _company, controlled by his close friend, Luther Pilling, and he has since remained with that com- pany, of which he was vice president at the time of his death, and with the affiliated _concern—the General Eclipse company—of which he was treasurer. In his connection with these enter- prises he had an opportunity to dem- onstrate his business genius and de- voted himself cBnstantly to_their de- velopment and expansion. In speak- ing feeling of Mr. Kennedy on Friday, fos; aald that it was 1o, Me.

That too many of us fail In this direction is plainly appar- ent. That too many are “easy-going” chaps won't be denied, I fancy. But why should any farmer resign himself to “taking things as they when his first business and dnty and privilege is to make them come his way—if he can? Admitting that he can't always do it; granting, if you will, that he can't make them 'do it more than half ths time, isn’t that half worth attSnding to? Isw't half a loaf better than no bread? Few of us do all we'd like to. Few of us achieve all the results we seek. Moreover, so far as we ourselves and our own characters are comcerned, ac- complished resuits really amount to less than half the reward. It isn’t what we'd iike to do what we can do.which measures work. We can’t build our own chimneys, rerhaps, nor fence potato-bugs off ovr fields. 'But when the chimney is bullt we can take care of it and keep it safe: when we plant our potatoes we can see to it that we're all ready, not only with horse and cultivator to care for them but with poison and sprayer to fAx the bugs. 1 When they wakened Von Moltks, the great German strategist, to tell him that war had been declared against France, 'way back in 1870, the old general merely ~remarked: “Third drawer on the left,” and turned over to sleep again. In that “third drawer on the left” was found the entire plan of campaign, down to its smallen¢ €e- tall, all worked out and ready for n- ant execution. The news that war had actually begun didn’t worry him in the least. He was all ready for it —had been—for war with France or any other nation.

Fake Mail Order House. The National Money Order Broker- age Exchange of Minneapolis is a con- cern which postal authorities in all of the surrounding towns have bee: warned against by the postal official at Washington. This is_the concern that offers to send a silk _petticoat, represented to be worth $4.75, to anv person who forwards ten cents. The offer is a fake, but it has been an at- traction for many in towns in this vi- cinity, as was another similar offe- made by another ‘western doncern about a year ago. Letters addressed ‘o the above concern are being with- drawn from the mails by postoffice au- thorities and will be returned to the writers through regular channels.
