YOU'VE read about Orville Weight's success with his aeroplane stabilizer, the balance wheel of flight. In life's flight you need several
0*' balance wheels. For instance, you need the balance'-wheels of
honesty, of morality, of physical well being, of moniy. One might write
a column about life's stabilisers. ' Instead we suggest that you THINK
this sketch over.    * ' -

. The retail store' as a way station in .
the channels of trade is an indispensable ]

other forms of social ■"hfe.iuust cease to'
exist because they all depeiid upon com- ;

Fire Prevention Day.
October   9,    the   anniversary   of" the>
Chicago conflagration, has been set aside
by'various-fire prevention organizations
.as "Fire Prevention Day."    Citizens of'
Michigan are urged to participate, in the '
observance of this du3'.    Importance and.
value may be given the day if the proper,
authorities will call publii  meetings at \
which the subject, of fire prevention Will '
be considered .or will  organize clean-up;
rallies at which time investigations'will-
be made as to the possible  existence of,
fire risks.^    The schools may aid" by de-'
voting a portion pf-the day1 to the study
of the subject of how fires can  be prevented.     Each individual in every community in the state can-do much  to reduce the" fire hazards* by making  it a
p.oinf on tliis day to look into conditions
on  his  own - premises  aad applying a
remedy against possible fires where such
a remedy is needed.

SociaS Centers.
The crying need of' rural Michigan
is social centers where our young people
can-be entertained, amused and instructed under the direction of cultured, clean
and competent leadership,. where aesthetic surroundings stir tire 'love for the
beautiful;' where, art charges" the atmosphere with inspiration ancL.power, and
innocent amusements instrudt' and
brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the farm
we must make farm life more attractive,
as" well "as the business of fanning more
remunerative. The schoql house should
be the social unit, properly equipped for
nourishing and building character, so
that the lives of our people can properly
function around it and become supplied
with the necessary elements "of human
thought and -activity.
