LaRosc, until short time ago,
was engaged in the restaurant busl-

the popular resort known ~ the White

wife of Il man by the name of
Krtchback who operates the pool

families always seemed to entertain
a very close friendship toward each

pupils lost their lives in a prairie fire
in the western part of the state a few
days ago Is one of those things against
which there appears to be utterly in
adequate protection when at least q
fair measure of protection could be
provided with practically no cost at
all.
Fire cannot travel unless 1t has
something to feed 1t on its way. II
there are no plowed fields in the vicin-
ity. the blowing around the building
of two narrow strips a few rods apart,
and the burning Of the enclosed grass
when there is little wind, affords am
pie protection against any fire that ev-
er travelled across the prairie, and this
could be done, and very commonly is
done. at the expenditure Of a few
hours labor.
No person with matches need be in
the slightest danger from prairie fire,
unless caught suddenly while asleep.
When a fire is seen approaching, all
that Is n~ecessary-is to touch a match
to the dry grass in front of one, keep
on the windward side of it until it has
made some Roadway, beating out.
meanwhile. the little fire which creeps
slowly against the wind. and then
step onto the cleared space, where one
is perfectly safe.
There is no comparison between a
prairie fire and a forest fire. In the
latter there is much material to burn.
and the fire RACES on all sides and
above one, often for hours. But the
prairie fire has nothing to live on ex-
cept grass. and this is consumed in a
moment. Ordinarily there is little
danger even when one has no matches
to start a new fire. for. il GOODNESS is
maintained, and panic fought off, it is
almost always possible to find a place
where the grass IL short, and where,
when fire approaches, one can run
quickly through 1t, and be on the
windward side. on burned ground,
smoked, heated, with eyes smarting,
but safe.
