Woman Hands Minister a Rabv.

Minburn, Feb. 10-While standing
on the depot platform at Des Moines
awaiting train for home Rev. Har-
Tington of Minburn was approached by
IA little woman with baby in one arm
and suit case in the other who
breathlessly asked if he was minister
of the gospel. He assured her that
that was his calling. Then find a
home for this baby" she cried, and
she dropped the suit case at his feet,
showed the baby into his arms and fled
Not another word was spoken and
when the astonished preacher found
his voice the erstwhile custodian of
the baby was no where to be seen;
his train was due to leave within a
minute, he was holding baby; wrap
ped in the dainty and perfumed laden
accountrements of its race, with a
suit case at his feet. What to do was
the question, and the devout mind of
the teacher of the gospel turned first
to the accustomed fount of inspiration
for guidance. Into his mind came the
solace of the message not of this
world and he took it's purport to mean
that the arms which then held the
tiny piece of humanity should shelter
it. Without word to the officials at
the station he boarded the train and
came home, bringing surprise when

Prevention of Factory Fire Losses

John w. Waters, secretary of the
Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers
Mutual Fire Insurance company gives
some interesting information on the
prevention of fire in Industrial plants
in recent issue of Farm Implement
News Chicago, Ill.).
An interesting part of underwriting
factory properties is that no two cases
are exactly alike and each case has to
be treated for it's own individual con-
ditions. In insuring manufacturing
properties, one of the worst features
with which we have to contend is the
lack of care given the property by
Its owners and employees. Statistics
show that large percentage of the
hre waste of our country, which aver
ages approximately two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars per year, is
directly traceable to pure carelessness
A very general feeling that we find, is
that freedom from fire loss in the
past seems to carry with it guaran-
tee Of Immunity from fire loss in the
future. We often find, too, where the
owners Of property are themselves eX-
tremely careful and have the best in
tentions regarding their property, they
do not realize that those in their en-
ploy do not have the same interest in
the maintenance of the plant that the
owners themselves do and they fail to
enforce, as rigidly as they might rules
for cleanliness and general upkeep.
IF insurance companies could edu-
cate their assured to the point where
they would realize that many of our
most serious fires have originated
from the most trivial causes and if our
assured would realize that If it is true
that they know all about the "how' of
the manufacture of their particular
product, it is equally true that in
surance people who, day in and day
out, contend with difficulties, hazards
and possibilities of fire in manufactur-
ing plants, know something of the
how of the prevention of fires from
these possibilities and if the assured
would pay more attention to the sug-
gestions of insurance inspectors rather
than to believe that an inspectors sal
ary is proportionate with his ability as
fault finder we believe that our an
nual fire waste would be materially
lessened.
Another step that manufacturer
might and should take in connection
with his risk. is to consult insurance
engineers in connection with the re-
modelling of present buildings or the

erection of proposed buildings. Any
insurance organization maintaining its
own staff of insurance engineers would
be very glad to give the services and
advice of these engineers to aid an
assured to prevent faulty construc-
tion. We have seen instances in con-
struction where the intention was TO
provide strictly modern building, but
where the result was quite the op-
posite, that might have been avoided
if insurances engineers had been con.
suited and the result to the assured
would have been vastly superior fire
retarding building, to say nothing OF
the saving that would have resulted
in insurance cost. The writer has re.
Gently seen one-story machine shop
where the intention was to subdivide
the building into small areas. In the
completed risk, however, none of the
walls extend through the roof and
while all the door openings in the
walls are provided with excellent ex-
amples of modern fire doors, on each
side of the door openings are two full
sized ordinary glass windows, not pro.
tected
"The absurdity of providing the door
openings with costly standard fire
doors and leaving in the wall just be.
side these doors ordinary windows, is
too apparent to need comment. All Of
this could have been avoided had in
surance engineers been consulted and
the purpose with which the assured
started out would not have been de.
feated. Modern mill construction, II
may be true, may be somewhat more
expensive in the first instance than
the old style 'joist' construction, but
its superiority as fire retarder is self
evident; it gains reward in the reduc.
tion of insurance COST which event
ually overcomes the initial excessive
expense and, as matter of fact, the
difference in cost, considering the
superior result, is not so great after ALL
In the final analysis, there is only
one way to decrease insurance cost
and that is, to prevent fire loss, and
this question of prevention of fire loss
is almost, if not wholly, in the hands
of the owners or active managers OF
factory properties, and the three
prime factors that L would recommend
that an owner or manager should con-
slider in connection with manufactur-
ing property are, construction, care
and protection The combination of
these three features, properly handled
in my judgment, answers the question
of loss by fire.

that SO much land passes out of culti-

But that has not been the issue IN
the election so much as the tariff ques-

he cannot secure proper improvements
upon it, and if he makes them himself
the landlord usually makes him pay
rent on his own improvements. These
facts in connection with the free trade
system in that country have taken mil.

There are practically half million

period of time. Emigration from Ger.
many, which used to be greater than
from Great Britain, has, under a pro.
tective tariff, become insignificant.
But in Great Britain emigration con
tinues on the old scale. In 1907 the
net emigration from Great Brit,
ain, after deducting those who re.
turned, was 235,OO0 out of population
of 45,00,00o. But in the same
year only $1,000 Germans emigrated
from population of 100000. Aus
tin Chamberlain in a recent speech
