FIRE PREVENTION.
National Fire Loss Estimated at
$500 "a Minute!

Nhthohat flre Loss Estimated at
$500 Minute!
at is only within recent years that the
real causes and corrections OF our enor-
nous fire waste have been clearly under
Stood" says state Insurance Commits
sioner j. w. Blunt. "This campaign is
of decidedly recent origin.
"During the past five years there has
been marked awakening throughout all
circles OF the country concerning the size
and character OF fire waste in life and
property, and the fact that it is in large
part needless and preventabie. OF late,
especially, civic and commercial bodies
are recognizing their responsibility in the
matter, and are beginning to take de-
termined hand in lettering fire waste
conditions.
''felling merchant or householder
that the fire loss OF the country each year
amounts to more than the national debt,
does not start him to thinking very earn
estiy about the matter, but it should Jar
him into action to tell him that the fire
loss is $500 minute, every minute of the
year and every year as it comes aud goes.
"If each storekeeper and householder
would just take the common precau-
lions against possible fire, we believe the
average would shrink to something less
than $50 minute and that, even, is too
high.
"Look to your chimney flues, furnace
pipes, stoves, ash cans and fuel bins. See
that matches are kept in closed tin boxes.
Keep no oils or infiammable liquids, like
gasoline, inside the building. Do not
allow rubbish to accumulate anywhere in
the store or cellar. Be very careful about
allowing smoking on the premises. Look
well to the position and condition of your
lamps, IL you use them, and don't try to
get your wiring done cheaply il electricity
is used, for defective wiring is one Of the
most common causes of loss by fire.
"And bear this in mind; When all this
preventable fire loss is eliminated, down
will go your fire insurance cost to a re-
markable degree. Isn't 1t worth it?"

When we tell you that vinol is the
best remedy in our whole stock for
making weak. puny. ailing children
strong. robust and rosy we are only
telling you what has eeen proved by
hundreds Of mothers.
J. L. Tickling, Macon, Ga, says:
my child was very thin and delicate,
no appetite. nervous, and did not
sleep well. Doctors did not help her.
Vinol was recommended and the
change after a fair trial was wonder
full. She sleeps soundly all night, has
a splendid appetite and has gained In
weight. / wish every mother knew
what vinol will do for delicate chill
dren."
What Vinol did for this little girl

tains--that is why vinol builds them
up quickly and gives them fine,
healthy color. 1t Ii pleasant 10 take

from the farms can be taken to the nearest

struction and maintenance within a state
should be developed and mutually agreed
upon. Money appropriated by the federal
government should be apportioned on the
basis of such factors as total population,
iarm population, area, taxable valuation,
and mileage.
THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Special emphasis is laid on the fact that
the figures for crops quoted are estimates,
and 1t is pointed out that this fact should
be constantly kept in mind. From the
estimates at hand it appears that the pro-
duction Of crops In 1918 was materially be-
low the average, the yield per acre OF all
crops combined being smaller than in any
year in the past decade with the excep-
ton OF 1911,
The corn crop, the most valuable pro-
duct OF this country, according to the esti-
mates fell below 2,5o0,000,O00 bushels,
which is smaller than any crop since 1903.
Wheat production, with an estimated total
OF 753, 100000 bushels, is the largest ever
recorded in this country This crop was
mstured before the drought became eff
| fective.
Brief mention is made as to crop con-
ditions throughout the world. From the
estimates it appears that there were in
creased areas sown to wheat, oats, barley.
I rye and corn, and that the wheat acreage
has probably yielded record out-turn.
Barley, oats and rye are bountiful crops,
but corn will probably give the poorest re-
suit in twenty years.
