BEN'S GENIUS A FARMER stirred restlessly on his corn-shuck mattress in the bed room of his 18th century frame home located in the outskirts of an eastern town. Slowly, from the depths of sleep, he realized what had awakened him. Smoke! Instantly, he was wide awake and shouted at his son to saddle the mare and ride to town for help. Meanwhile, the farmer, his 'wife and two daughters formed a four -man bucket brigade and heaved water from leather buckets on the flames. Townspeople Respond. In town, men were running to sta bles where teams of horses were be ing hitched to odd-looking rigs fes tooned with lines of leather hose and laden with buckets. The first company on the scene of the blaze racketed to halt, and the captain raced to the building with af ladder under his arm. He set the ladder ag-ainst the front of th house and climbed to a spot jnst under the second-story windows. There, by the light of the fire leaping from the eaves, he care fully examined a metal plaque nailed to the clapboard, known as a "fire mark." Ttr3 the New Haven's boys," he shouted, and hurriedly clambered down the ladder and trotted back to the road. His company of fire fight ers found seats on the rig from which they watched the progress of the fire. "Innocent" Bystanders. In the meantime, other fire com panies had arrived at the farni3"ard. but as soon as they received word that the little metal plaque on the wall read "New Haven Home Insur ance Company" they, tco, sat idly by. It was left entirely up to a fire brigade sponsored by the New Haven company to fight the darting tongues cf flame, for the fire mark had shown that only this company stood to benefit by putting out the fire. Gradually this ecld-biooded 18th century attitude gave way to a more humane concern for the domestic tragedies which follow a fire. Company-sponsored fire brigades like the fictitiously-named one above were rupplanted by volunteer community organizations. Mrs. Nettie Mendenhall spent last week visiting her daughter and family, the Claude Hewitts, at Panama. Miss Lena Rieke and her mother entertained the Mission ary Society of Callahan church, the W.S.C.S. at their home on Thursday afternoon, with a goodly crowd present.

Now, however, independent farm mutuals patterned after a mutual insurance company founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1752 are saving farmers from coast to coast millions of dollars annually. Farmers thumbed through pages of history and adopted a mutual in surance principle which had been pioneered by one of America's great statesmen, best remembered today for his discoveries in electricity. According to material gathered and annotated by II. L. Kenni cott, secretary of Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty company, it was Benjamin Franklin who founded in 1752 a mutual insur ance company which has sur vived and prospered to this day and which laid down a pattern of operation for the many small, independent farm mutuals that now are saving farmers from coast to ccast millions of dollars annually. The National Association of Mu tual Insurance Companies estimates that 16 billion dollars worth of rural property is protected by more than 1,800 farm mutuals. Kenrucott explains, "Farm mutuals are 'grass-roots' organizations. They are formed by the farmers them selves and usually serve local areas varying from a township to a- few counties."

EGG STORAGE DOWN I Lincoln, J. W.

Next day a farmer who lived about 10 miles away and served as the part-time secretary for the local farm mutual, stopped at the dam aged farm on his way to town. It was milking time, so the secretary just walked into the barn. He found the farmer and his son there and said to them: "You lost a little roofing. I suppose that will take about three dollars worth of shingles, and you and your son will nail it on. Here are the three dollars." He settled the loss and got a re ceipt. As simple as that. The national association to which a majority of farm mutuals belong j is justifiably proud in pointing out that the total volume of Insurance, carried in farm mutuals is sufficient : to cover three-fourths of its value more than half of all the farm prop- ' jerty that is subject to insurance" , iHjamsi lire. believes, was brought about by disappointment on the outcome of last year's storage season and the expectation of a small seas onal rise in fall and winter egg prices. He points to the narrow spread now between egg prices on the futures market as com pared with the spot market price. Goble says, however, the low level of shell egg stocks in stor age is not expected to cause a reduction in consumption. It will mean fewer stored eggs avail able to supplement current fall production to meet the demand during that period. Goble says the condition will be at least partially offset by the expected fall increase in produc tion over the same season in previous years because of an in crease in the rate of laying.

Anti -Darkening Agents: Miss Mabel Doremus, exten sion food and nutrition special ist at the College of Agriculture, advises using anti-darkening agents to protect light colored fruits from becoming brown on the surface during freezing. She says fruits as peaches, pears, apricots and light-colored cher ries are improved in color by the anti-darkening agents. Most effective agent, she says, is ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which may be purchased at drug stores. Ascorbic acid is cheaper in powdered than in tablet form. Here are Miss Dor emus' suggestions: When packing fruit in a sy rup, use 14 teaspoon powdered ascorbic acid or 500 milligrams in tablet form for each 1 or 1 'z cups of syrup. Boil and cool water before making syrup and adding the ascorbic. Citric acid is more economi cal but less effective for pre venting darkening. Fruit can be treated by standing in a citric acid solution for 1 to 2 minutes before packing in syrup or sug ar. Use a solution with 4 tea spoon of citric acid in 1 quart of water. A gallon of solution 4 quarts is enough for a bushel of fruit. Citric acid also can be purchased at drug stores.
