E. R. Eastman, editor of the American Agriculturist, is ex pected to give a rousing good talk, for anyone interested in Seneca agriculture, immediately after the basket picnic lunch. Mr. Eastman is a former resident of the county so he will under stand conditions here and can talk constructively of local affairs.

The parents of the children in the Kendaia and Romulus training classes, which are having tKeir 'picnic same time, are c, urged <0 cqm^ Everybody is jnvited to a t ^ ^ the Farm .

Suppose: you had a piece of property upon which you were dependent for your living, and it was necessary to have other people around to whom you paid salaries and wages to help you rom the place. What would you say if some of those people per sisted in doing things which kept you on the jump all the time to keep the place from burning up? Suppose you heard one of them say, when asked why he was not more careful about where he tos sed his cigarette butt, “ Why should I care, it isn’t m y mill.’ F r a n k ly now , w h a t w o u ld you A fter all, isn’t that practically w h a t we reply w h en we are per sistently careless not only with fire but with other things, too ? There are hundreds of ways in which we can ' prevent fires. We can be carqful with matches and with cigarette butts. The largest single cause of fires in this country is cigarettes. In 1926 fire losses of $30,160,000 were caused by this one thing alone. Before you throw away that match or cigarette be sure it is out. Before you throw away your lunch papers look for the rubbish can. Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you. Thig is one of the best rules of life ever presentqj^ to man. In your hab its, is it too much to ask you to Suppose It Were'Yours ?-*-From Safeguarding America Against Fire. -MOREHOUSE REUNION.

THE BENEPifEbE HlGHW^AYS Hi^thwayt art an inybittbeht that pkyb 'rbil ditidtldb aiid shows profits accbfdiag to Ffaiik Page, Chairman of the North Carolina Highway Coiiimissioh. In a recent speech, he showed what benefits have come to that state from its fine roads. As the first item, Mr. Page listed relief to towns and counties and savings to road users, through reducing wear and tear and losses. Second, educational opportuni ties. Third, the rapid, cheap and safe transportation of agricultur al products. Fourth, factories avoid conges ted centers and labor needs no tenements in town. Fifth, increased accessibility of resorts and places of scen ic interest. Sixth, the appeal of good high ways make to potential residents. Seventh, social advantages, by doing away w-ith isolation. These are highway “ divi dends” that are paid in every state and every locality. A com munity that neglects building good and adequate road^ is con demning itself to mediocrity arid' rctrogresiion.
