Many words have been written Of home sweet home With pictures of places A rambler may roam. For home is a place You can do as you please, Sleep in the dog house Or up in the tree. Vernon E. Lester Or shake off your shoes And go in your feet, Fuss with the butcher And throw out the meat, Kick the radio over With its punk program, Have a prayer meeting Or take another dram. Dig in the garden Or snooze in the swing, Answer the bell Or just let it ring. Turn out the lights And smash a big globe, Shave in the kitchen Without a bathrobe. A kin and a cave man Are both just the same, And home’s a condition And luxury a name. And it’s a great treat Just to be alone, But you’d better be neat When the Madam gets home. —T. H. Williamson, in Aiken Review. ATTEND MARDI GRAS Mr. and Mrs. J. W. (Bill) Smith left Saturday for New Orleans, La., to visit in the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Calmes, and to attend the Mar- di Gras.

Look what forest fires do EACH YEAR! Each year they burn 30 million acres of land—an area the size of die State of New York! They destroy enough trees of saw-timber size to build 86,000 five-room homes! They burn enough pulp-size trees to make 3 mil lion tons of newsprint, 90 million railroad des! They cause soil erosion, tremendous loss of recrea- donal areas, wildlife, electrical power! Forest fires bring destruction, shortages and higher prices that no one can escape! And do you know what causes most forest fires? It isn’t lightning and other natural causes. In truth, 9 out of 10 forest fires are man-caused, and most of them are the result of pure and simple CARELESSNESS! •Xv-'** MRISI FIRES CAM BE PREVENTED IF YOU WILL FOLLOW-FAITHFULLY-THESE FOUR SIMPLE RULES 1.
