film exchange, and they put in each 

 film package a slide which we had 

 prepared, and the moving picture 

 owners were very obliging and agreed 

 to show this shde during intermission 

 between pictures, or at the most 

 favorable opportunity, so as to give 

 the people who were waiting an op- 

 portunity to think over this great 

 cjuestion of fire protection. 



We took the matter up with the 

 superintendents of education, and got 

 them to O.K. the plan and we tried 

 to get cards or other matter into the 

 North-western schools, and by so 

 doing reached 400,000 children and 

 their parents. We found that the 

 only way of reaching the parents was 

 through the children who, when this 

 educational plan was given to them, 

 would undoubtedly take the matter 

 up and talk it over with their parents 

 at home. 



Winning the Limit Holder 

 With that little outline of our 

 general methods, I will take up the 

 ciuestion as to how to get timber 

 owners into this patrol organization. 

 There are three w^ays to do it; one 

 is simply voluntary joining, in which 

 you persuade them it is a good thing, 

 and that it is cheaper and better. 

 That does not get all of them, as there 

 are a great many selfish people who 

 are willing to sit back and let you 

 patrol their lands, as you have to do, 

 in order to take care of each owner 

 who is associated with us. We found 

 after a few years that we had patrolled 

 twice as much land as we could get 

 money from, and had to do it just as 

 well as our own, and consequently 

 that was not very satisfactory. 



Putting on the Screws 

 The next group of joiners came 

 after we got our public opinion in our 

 favor, and when people saw that we 

 were getting to be a public or semi- 

 public institution, and could get 

 legislation, we got quite a number 

 more, because the people got afraid 

 and they thought they had better be 

 on the band waggon than beside it, 

 and a good many came in for that 

 reason. But even that did not get all 

 of them, so we tried an experiment 

 in Oregon, and I believe it was the
