Larger buildings, such as factories, warehouses, of-
fice buildings and those housing mercantile establish- i
ments, should be constructed of as nearly as possible I
fireproof materials. It is highly important that all ver-1
ical openings such as elevator and dumbwaiter shafts i
and stairways be entirely enclosed. Any doors into them J
hou'a be of the self-closir(g type. A means of auto- j
maticully ventilating such shafts at the roof should be j

Nature is repeating herself. Last year she brought
'he greatest drouth in history to the great American mid-
west, turned millions of acres of rich wheat land to
desert, ard had the laugh on the puny efforts of mere
man to control production.
As it that lesson weren't severe enough, Nature is
again menacing crops—dust clouds recently swept day
after day across the vast mid-west Avheat country. The
area affected includes over 50,000,000 acres of wheat
and. The result, unless late rains do the unexpected
and remedy the situation, will be an inconsequential crop.
The Secretary of Agriculture has removed certain
restriction on the planting of spring wheat, this is ex-
pected to cause a rise of from 10 to 30 million bushels in
the normal spring crop.
First Fireproof Bird's Nest
A news item from a Southern city stated that "the
first fireproof bird's nest ever seen in this country, so
far as is known, was discovered the other day on the
roof of a hotel. The nest was constructed entirely of
small pieces of wire and there was not a twig or a piece
of string in it."
One would almost think" that the birds that built this
nest had heard of the recommendations of the National
Board of Fire Underwrites, which advocates fire-re-
sistive construction as a primary means of reducing the
"Above all, my program has looked to the long
view, intending to see that the factors that brought about
cur present condition may not occur again."—President
Roosevelt.
"We have t > have courage and discipline and vision
to blaze the new trails in life; but underlying all our
efforts is the conviction that men cannot live unto them-
selves alone."—President Roosevelt.
Gardening
Fever Seizes
Borger Resident
Tho coming of April has
brought gardening fever to at
least one Borger resident.
E. C. Carver is having the
strip of ground between tho
Carver Funeral Chapel and the
Kelly Hotel prepared for a
flower garden. He plans to
plant tuberoses, zinnias, cau-
nas, dahlias and many other
varieties of flowers.
Vines are already growing
over the archway leading to
tho plot, and several shrubs
are getting green along the
sides. The garden shows prom-
ise of becoming one of tho beau-
ty spots on main street.
"Crime is a symptom of social disorder. Widespread
increase in capacity to substitute order for disorder is the
remedy."-
-President Roosevelt.
Financial Plans
For Nation Topic
Of Club Speaker
"We must co-operate and plan
ahead for financial security in tha
United States," Mrs. 11. L. Ratliff
stressed in her discussion on "Am-
erica Must Choose" before the
Stinnett Home Demonstration club
last Thursday.
Mrs. Ratliff told of the three I
plans by Henry A. Wallace, sec- i
retary of agriculture. "The United
States can accept nationalism or
internationalism. But the middle !
course—the one of reason—was
suggested.
"No final plan can be adopt-
ed until discussed throughout tho
length and breadth of the land.
Not only in Washington but in tho
small schoolhouse, as well," tho
speaker said.
