ever was the need for fire prevention so great as it is
to -day. Why? Because buildings are next to impossible
to replace. Because farm fires destroy food along with
the power to produce it. Fires are the Nation's loss
now!
Get everybody on your farm to be a fire warden. Crack
clown on smoking in or around your barns. Insist that
no matches be carried unless in tight tin boxes—and
not al all while threshing.
See that the lamps and lanterns are filled before dark.
Always hang the lantern well up—snapped on with a
good strong snap. Don't takes chances with kerosene
oil or gasoline.
Don't tamper with electric wiring. Keep your lightning
rods and cables in good repair—always. Fight by
preventing fires.

Batter up! Baseball games In the bank yard are excellent material for
any picture diary of life at your home.
1H'�t-'-yt'AVE you ever thought of devot-
ing ing one section of your snap-
shot album to pictures taken
around the home? It might be
titled, "The Four Seasons At The
Smiths." And right now would be
an excellent time to start such a
picture diary. What better time is
thereto begin anything than this
season of the year?
How would ,such a section be
handled? Well, I'd suggest that you
commence with a few general views
of the house. That would start your
collection by showing your home
and where the series to follow is
taking place.
Next, it would be a wise plan to
introduce the principal characters
in the picture story you're going to
tell. Make a good informal portrait
of every member of the family, -
including yourself. Then you can
turn your full attention to plant-
ing
lant .ing the font 'seasons at your home.
For Instance, this year your fam-
ily has probably started 'a Victory
Garden. Make some pictures of
that, with Dad and the rest of the
family working in it—perhaps ad-
miring the vegetables.
Next, why don't you show the
family busy about the home
grounds? Everything that hap,
pens at your home —from cutting
the lawn to washing the windows
—is suitable subject matter for.
snapshots. And if you photograph
revealing activities of that sort,
you'll soon create a broad picture
of your family's mode of life.
Finally, carry the projectright
on through the seasons. Jot down
picture ideas as you see them, or
better yet, have your camera ready
fdr action and make the piettue
right away. If you take advantage
of all your opportunities, you'll
have a truly enviable collection of
home snapshots by the time sum-
mer arrives again.
