Don't Start Them AZ Night says FIRE
Chief.


Got any leaves to burn this fall
II 50 every precaution should b.
taken to avoid fires. according To
Fire Chief Engle. The roofs Of the
houses are like finder from the long,
dry spell and o flying spark might
b. the cause OF o serlous fire.
Fire Chief Enge is urging that
everyone exercise the utmost care in
the burning Of Oh trash. The fires
should not be left until every enber
is dead. Water should be poured on
the ashes and then there Is no chance
tDat wind may Dlov the sparks to a
roof Of house.
Persons should be more careful
in burning trash and dead leaves"
Chief Engle says. There can be
any amount Of trouble started by-a
little fire that may appear SO small
that It would be impossible Tor it to
do any damage, Whenever there are
any dead leaves or trash OF any kind
to be disposed Of. suii day should
be chosen II they are to be burned
And the Goals should not be left until
they are entirely out. A small spark
will stay lighted long time when the
wind is blowing.
"That means trouble. A fire of
that kind is not often discovered I'M
til after 1t has gained a fair start.
And with a wind to fan it, there Is a
chance for serious fire. At no time
should pile Of burning trash or
leaves be left unmatched, and It Is
poor policy to burn trash or leaves at
all, except in the day time. know
that the children like bon fires at
night, but 1t would be safer to have
them In the day time. Then there is
another thing l want to call attention
to. Many persons allow their chill
dren to look after the burning Of
leaves and trash. That is something
that should not be done. Such fires
should always be looked after by
grown persons.
"Chimneys should also be looked
after. Probably no one realizes how
many chimneys there are in Abilene
that are dangerous. The bricks at the
top have blown down or are loose,
and are liable to fall. They may fall
down the chimney and stop the draft.
1t is not impossible that one might
hit some persons on the head If there
should be a strong wind. n
"And the worst danger Is the
sparks from damaged chimney. II
one side has fallen down, the wind
will throw the sparks from 1t down
on the roof.
perhaps many persons say: oh,
my chimney is all right But there
are lots Of people who have not look
ID at their chimneys for long time.
| have known people to live in
house two years and never look at
he chimney. An hours work might
save a man his home; Anyway, II
would pay many persons to take

There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain OF oppres
sion, speculation and pernicious in
fluence OF accumulated wealth. They
cry out loudly against all banks ant
corporations, aud all means by which
small capitalists become united ~
order to produce important and bene-
flclal results, They carry on mad
hostility against all established in.
institutions. They would choke the
fountain of industry and dry all
streams.
In a country Of unbounded liberty
they clamor against oppression. In
a country Of perfect equality they
would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly.
In country where property ID
more evenly divided than anywhere
