Quite a number of people think the tax rate in Halifax county en tirely too high, but by reference to bulletin recently published in the University News Letter it will be seen that the per capita tax in Halifax county is $2.37. Yadkin county only has a lower rate, $1.46. Iredell pays the highest. $6.91, while the average for the State is $2.99 and for the United States the averaee is $4.99. So it will be seen that Halifax is be low the average rate.

Its purpose Is to reach not only the parents, but their children, and to en courage more carefulness in the homes. j Kiie Prevention is a live subject. It i Is practical enough to interest the I most practical and It admits of enough scientific study to delight the most earnest student. Its economic side has to do direc'ly with the conserva tion and preservation of our natural resources. It furnishes a wide field for research. It deals with common everyday matters and should Interest those in all walks of life. The people must listen and under stand before they will act In matters of fire prevention.
