highest state of efficiency. Every
property holder is interested in
seeing his property protected
against the ravages of fire. In
case one breaks out he expects
the fremen to respond promptly
tc the alarm. He should remem-
Der that it is not a paid fire de-
partment but is entirely vol
unteer service. The men who
turn out regardless of the Sc
} verify of the weather or how dark
the night may be, or how dan
gerous the work, do so for the
r public good without any compen-
, sation therefor. Hence every
y man who has property should
invest in one or more tickets to
assist in this good work If you
do not dance it is no reason why
a you should not patronize the ball
i to the extent of buying tickets
y Just think that it may be your
, building, your home, your goods
e that may be exposed to FIRE
Just think that those who
turn out to protect such are doing
n it for nothing and just think te
, buy tickets aud show a liberal and
, interested spirit. Remem Der the
