FIRE PREVENTION
DIFFERENTIATION

Executive Chambers, Pierre. South
Dakota.
In this progressive age when the
matter of ge, eral conservation 50
largely engages the attention of the
American people, it is fitting that
special consideration be given the ap-
palling fire waste which obtains thro-
ughout the entire United States.
Our forests are carefully protected.
our waterways are properly guarded
aed wisely utilized, lands hitherto
useless are constantly heing reclaim
ed and developed through drainage
and irrigation-almost all our resour-
ces are now within the jurisdiction of
the regnant conservation spirit-and
vet statistics evidence that the enor-
nous drain upon those resources
through fire is annually Increasing
and at an alarming rate.
This excessive and largely prevent
able fire waste, which amounts, per
capita, to more than five times as
much as the loss from fire in anv of
the European countries, is beginning
to be recognized as a national dis
grace, and it is to assist in its reduc-
ton that | have proclaimed and set
aside Thursday, October 8, 1913, as
FIRE PREVENTION DAY,
and urge that every citizen of South
Dakota accept his individual respon-
sibility in this regard, in order that
this great national ash heap may be
lessened and in due course of time
entirely done away with.
| trust that owners of property may
remove from their premises all rub
bish and waste; thai the municipal
authorities may be especially active
in thoroughly cleaning their streets
and alleys, and that in public schools
fire drills may be held aud instruction
given as to methods of fire protection,
prevention and fire fighting. This
with the end in view of remedying
the present condition which is so SER
ious a reproach upon our nation and
so grave a menace to her people.
In TESTIMONY WHEREOF, | lave
hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the Great Seal of the State
of South Dakota. at the Capitol in
the City of Pierre, this nineteenth day
of September, in the year OF Our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
thirteen. FRANK NJ. BYRNE,

wv ON JENKINS, now an instructor
at the West Point Military acad-
envy and former American cham
pion, was, according to Gotch,
the strongest American wrestler he
ever met He defeated Gotch in what
the latter terms the second hardest
match of his career, February %, 1908,
at Cleveland, o.
In justice to Gotch it must be said
that he went into this match with the
idea of trying out Jenkins. He had
heard of Jenkins wonderful strength
and rough tactics and was eager to
match his skill with that of the Cleve-
lander, but was afraid to take chances,
That probably lost him the match
Gotch, too, had not yet reached the
heights of practical perfection at the
catch-as-catch-can style.
AS it was, Gotch might have been
given this match on foul, as Jenkins
was twice cautioned for employing the
strangle hold in the first bout and
once in the second Jenkins won on
Jaw lock, the next door neighbor to the
strangle grip.
This match, like the later meeting
of this pair at Bellingham, Wash, was
among the toughest mat battles in
American history. Jenkins, strong and
sinewy as he was, got one of the Sc
yerest gruelings of his stormy career
as a topnotch grappler. Gotch was
sorry sight as he returned to his
home folks at Humboldt. bruised and
bandaged, his nose twisted and his
body decorated with plasters and
other reminders of the battle, but
eager for return encounter. Referee
Edwards at one point threatened to
stop the match He told the wrestlers
he was there supposed to referee
mat battle, not prize fight or cock
fight

SPECTATORS are not the only ones in

sy and ruIemakers themselves are
more or less at sea regarding its exact
limitations and demarcations, what
ever they are. If pitcher has no
motion" or wind-up, he can hardly
hope to succeed in big league time" "
The movements of his delivery are
supposed to keep the base runner
guessing, and at the same time must
still be within the limits imposed on
