barn through fire, might easily And
his finances severely crippled, even
although he received the full value
of his insurance p:oliey on it.
Naturally the farmer increased his
insurance, doubled it in many cases.
Now the wheel has • taken another
turn. With the modern sulbstitutes
for square timbers and `limiter of
other days, a farmer can replace a'
barn destroyed by fire and still have
a thousand or two to the good frons,
the insurance he carried on the one
destroyed. .
IIn fact there are many farmers to-
day carrying insurance on -their build
ings to double the amount their build-
ings and farms together would bring
on the open market at present prices.
The insurance companies :knovi;y,hat.
'Hlave known it for some time and are
acting upon it. Insurance risks are
going to be out in two. The com-
panies can not clo business safely in
any other way.
That is why the farmer wi;l have
to look to other sources than the in-.
surance companies, or rather in addi-
tion to them, to provide him . with
fire pfatection on the farm, and one
of these will eventually, be the pur-
chase, by townships, of motor fire
fighting equipment,

It Costs Money To Live
In Ottawa
From Parliament we'learn that the
Canadian National Railway spent
$90,000 last year in redecorating a
suite of rooms in the Chateau Laur-
ier, a hotel in Ottawa, for the use of
the Prime Minister of Canada.
For the use of this suite, Mr. Ben-
nett paid a yearly rental of $5,000
and in addition paid something over
$19000 for meals and service.
'pf course Mr. Bennett is a million-
aire many times over, and to• him,
probably $24,000 does not mean as
much as $24 does to the average man
in the country.
At the same ,time one can not help
but wonder how •a bachelor, without
dependents, who has twenty-fbur
thousand dollars a year to spend .on
his comfort and his appetite, can
really sense the poverty and the de-
-, pression that exists throughout Can-
ada or get down to the viewpoint of
twenty-four dollar man in the coun-
try.
Nor can one help but wonder what
the thousands of men who have been
dismissed .from their employment in
the C. N. R., under the names of, re-
trenchment and economy, really think
when they view th'e action of that,

Farm Fire Protection
The farm ratepayers of Harwich
Township, • Keit County, will, next
week, vote on a by-law the result of
Which will, no casuists be watched
with • keen interest by the residents
of many other- townships in Ontario.
This by-law, if endorsed, will,hare
for its object the establishment of
fire protection . -,for the farms in the
district, the equipment to be kept in
the town of Blenheim, where it will
be available in the event of rural fires
breaking out.
Fire protection of farm buildings
has been a problem through the ages
but until ,recent years when the
world started to move an motor
wheels, the expense o'f providing any
workable plan for such protection
was deemed prohibitive.
Rural fire protection to -day pres-
ents no such difficult : problem, al-
though as far as we knew, the town
ship of Harwich is the first township
to take definite. steps to provide itself
with a fire fighting apparatus.
If, however, the townships have been
somewhat backward in • providing
themselves with the means of fight-
ing the fires in their midst, these
same fires, or at least aI good many
of then, halve been causing many
towns and villages in rural districts
grave concern.
So many appeals for the use of
-town and village fire fighting equip-
ment have been answered in recent
years, when fires were raging on
ferias adjoining them, and even at
considerable, distances from them,
that the councils of these towns and
-villages have deemed it wise, or been
forced to take some definite action
regarding them.
This action in many places has
taken t'he form of absolutely forbid
ding the use of their urban fire fight-
ing equipment outside. of their own
limits:
Bach drastic action does not in any
case arise from!t a feeling of un-
neighborlyness or a callous indiffer-
ence to the loss which a farmer might
sustain through their failure to come
to his assistance, but is forced 'iipo'r
these councils by the necessity of
providing fire protection to their own
muiiieigralities who own this equip -
anent. The outbreak of fire in a
town or village during the absence in
- - the country of its .fire fighting ap-
paratus, might easily prove a disas-
trous thing to that town or that vil-
lage. -
Heretofore the farmer has- either
4depended upon Providence to steer
limo, clear of fires, or to the Mutual
Insurance Commies to 1recoup him
should ha ase so unfortunate as to
suffer a "tire loss, or the complete
destruction of his buildings frontthab
cause.

Death of Former 1Resident. — The
Enterprise, of Gilmore City, Iowa,
refers to the death of Mrs. B. A.
Smillie, wife of Dr. B. A. Smillie, of
that place and a former resident of
the Kippen district. The Enterprise
says: "Funeral services were held
Tuesday • afternoon for Mrs. B. A.
Srrinllie, wife of Dr. B. A. Smillie,
who succumbed last Saturday morn-
ing, after a lingering illness extend-
ing over a period of six years. Rev.
P. C. Larsen, of the Baptist Church,
and Rev. Charles Flesher, of the
Methodist Church officiated and songs
,were touching rendered by a ladies'
quartette. The flowers were many
and beautiful. The funeral was large-
ly attended by the citizens of Gil-
more City, and friends from the ter-
ritory surrounding the town. A large
numlber of persons came from Palmer,
Ia., the former home of the,. family.
Others came from Sibley, Lake Park,
Mason City, Iowa Falls, Pocahontas,
Rolfe and Amboy, .Minn. Mrs. Smil-
lie wee the daughter of Alexander
and Elizabeth Monteith, 'Whose form-
er residence was one mile north of

ty, Ontario, Canada, on September 8,
1869. She was educated in the pub-
lic schools of her native county, in
the Colliegiate Institute at Seaforth,
Ont., and in the Provincial Normal
School in Toronto. After being grad
uated from the last named institution
she engaged in teaching for several
year in the schools of Ontario, Can -
tide. On July 2g, 1896, she was unit-
