QUICK ACTION AND STRONG PRES.
SURE SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOL.
LARS WORTH OF PROPERTY

But for almost instant discovery and
prompt action with effective fire Eshl-
ing apparatus. the Chictasha Cotton
compress would probably have gone
mp in smoke yesterday afternoon.
A match had been drol ped on the
platform near the press and a truck
well loaded, passing over It, ignited
st. starting a blaze almost instantly
IN the cotton nearby. Mr.. Canenlan,
the manager. was standing not twenty
feet away and Immediately called the
Gre fighting forces into action. With
The wind blowing a gale the blaze
aashed up quickly, but a big stream
Of water turned on 1t make qliclI
work Of extinguishing it. Hundreds
Of bales OF cotton were scattered al
around and had there been any hitch
IN getting the hose TO work, the re-
suit must have been disastrous.
"The water pressure was very
strong" said Mr. Caneman "and Il
was all two strong negroes could "a
to handle the hose"
Il was just about a year ago when
the compress here and near 600 bales
Of cotton We're burned eutaling a los.
Of about 100000.
A vast amount of Gotten is now
stored on the platform.
