BERTON BRALEY’S DAILY POEM.
The Happy Land
in the country of Joja, the king of Fumban,
Life runs on an easy and casual plan;
Tho Joja** a despot, he's fond of his ease
And mostly his people do just as they please;
The juice of the palm tree for drink they distill
And each man has all of the wives that he will;
(And one is enough for the average man)
In the country of Joja, the king of Fumban.
In the country of Joja, the king of Fumban,
There aren't any politics troubling the clan,
The king is the boss—there’s no more to be said
And if you dispute it, why off goes your head!
But mostly life moves in beneficent calm,
And often I long to be under a'palm
Where life’s still as simple a* when it began,
in the country of Joja, the king of Fumban!

Famines and wars kill many, but the tendency is for
population to increase yearly. That must be a stickler for the
people who believe that all of us are reincarnated, that we
have lived before on earth. Since population is bigger now
than in the past, where was the excess living 200 years ago?

Preventing Fire
Whatever is destroyed by fire increases the cost of liv-
ing for each of us. It may take time, but such losses inevi-
tably spread out thru the whole system of economics, to be
borne by all.
So all of as should give deep thought to national Fire
Prevention Day.
Don’t run. No drives are planned. You are not asked to
contribute funds. The day merely is one to make us think of
the tremendous waste f fires, most of which result from
foolishness or carelessness.
The great Chicago fire of 1871 destroyed $190,000,000 of
property. At four per cent compound interest, that today
would amount to about $700,000,000.
And yet, each year, buildings destroyed by fire in America
total a greater loss—averaging $250,000,000 a year. The evil
is scattered, so we do not realize that every 365 days the
nation stages a greater conflagration than the fire of 1871.
Houses destroyed annually by fire would make a street
over 200 miles long. •
On top of burned buildings, we nave enormous wealth
forever destroyed by forest fires.
What has turned into,ashes, is gone.
The important point is that most fires result from care-
lessness, that the fire rate can be cut materially by exercising
personal caution.
The only way to prevent fire is to be careful in handling
fire or the things that produce combustion—matches, smoul-
dering cigaret stubs, gasoline, camp-fires and greasy rags.
An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of ashes.

An Approaching “Peril”
Biologists are expressing alarm about “how the United
States is going to feed itself when its population reaches
1,000,000,000.’’ That, according to Prof. E. M. East, may
come “within the span of life of the grandchildren of persons
now living.”
The peril is world-wide.
Population of the earth now is about 1,700,000,000, and
increasing about 16,000,000 a year. One American to six-
teen others.

Population does NOT increase faster than the ability to
derive a living from the soil.
' Europe’s big increase from 1800 to 1900 was taken care of
by the machine age—mass production. Similar advance-
ment will always be the case.- Texas, according to agricul-
tural experts, could be made to grow enough to feed all the
people now living on earth.
Steadily we are getting more and more out of an acre. If
the population becomes perilously large, all food will be grown

Mr. Man, do you and your wife run your home on a busi-

Have you any idea what proportion of your earnings ought
to go for rent, food, clothing, amusements, savings?- Or do
you just guess about it? ....
Do you know that no matter what your family income may
be, there is an economical method of apportioning your ex-
penditures so that you can make some savings and spend to
the beat advantage?
This applies whether you are single or married, and
whether your family is big or little.

studies on the family budget. If you want a pamphlet show-
ing how YOUR income should be divided to the best advan-

Real City Building
A worthy movement is under way by the Fort Worth Ro-
tary club.. It is to provide aid for Fort Worth youths seeking
educations but unable to pay for them.
The Rotary club has a committee at work, gettting pledges
from members to assist in the creation of a loan fund. In
several cases, aid already has been extended by individual
Rotarians. Organization will make this work many times
more effective.
There is no better way to assure a great future for a city
than to see that its younger generation is well schooled.
Here is city building of a most substantial kind.
This activity of the Rotary club might well be broadened
into a campaign to enlist greater support from Fort Worth
! for her own higher educational institutions.
Texas Christian university, Texas Woman's clubs and the
Baptist seminary are assets on which Fort Worth should
place a greater public value. '

This shows that, despite in-

Surgery has hurdled over the

problem: that of obtaining fresh
lard from live porkers.
A-German farmer at Schlieche-
grieben is the first to carve lumps
of fat off swine without sacrificing
the animals. This is how it is
done:
After the four-footed patient has
been fattened up, a veterinary sur-
geon applies a local anaesthetic—
an inection of novocain—to the
parts about to be sliced up.
This injection is said to make
the flesh of the pig insensible to
the knife. An incision is made on
the back and on the abdomen, a
layer of fat is cut out and the skin
then sewn up.

half from one end. Bind them
again two inches below that. Di-
vide the straw below the last part
tied into two sections and tie them
near the ends. Thus legs are
formed. Cut a few straws loose
on each side and bind them near
the ends for arms. Wind the top

rode horseback to become presi-
dent, and hitched his nag in front
of the White House.
Or Lincoln, who need to receive
diplomats when hi* barber was

his democratic street car-riding
spirit into the workings and de-
cisions of the Supreme Court.
