brought in the majority of the Confed-

Fire Prevention
Day By Official
Proclamation
CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
GIVES SOUND ADVICE TO BusI.
NESS MEN AND HOUSEWIVES

BY official proclamation of the Gov
ernor at the instance of the Underwrit-
ers association of the state today is
Fire Prevention Day in Mississippi.
1t is urged by the Governor in his proc
lamation that the schools of the state
lay particular emphasis on the fire
drill today and that merchants and
housewives see to it that the fire risk
is minimized about the premises as
much as possible at the beginning OF
the cold season by the removal OF
trash and the inspection of the heat
ing apparatus.
A. F. Potter, chief Of the Hatties-
burg Fire Department, in a communi-
cation addressed to The News states
that fiues are the most prolific cause Of
fires according to his reports extend
ing over a period Of several years.
At the beginning Of fall, and before the
first frost when fires will be built the
chief urges every householder to make
a careful inspection Of the flues and
heating apparatus. In addition to
fiues, CRATES and ashpits should be
looked after and rendered fireproof
before the first fire is built. The
chief calls especial attention to the
danger from the habit of stuffing pa
per up flues to keep out the SCOT dur
ing the summer. Sparks falling down
an adjoining flue frequently ignite
such paper in unused flues with dis
astrous results.
Next in order of frequenc i'm causing
unnecessary fires is the habit of piling
wood behind stoves. The wood gradu-
ally becomes as dry as tinder and ig-
mites during the night or when the
owner is not expecting it and sets the
house on fire. Short flues through
shingle roofs is another cause for so
many runs of the fire department at
the beginning of the first cold snap;
he says. -.r-- nap -sr''Sl, " -. l-
Carelessness in the handling OF
matches, and oil lamps is another
cause of preventable fires. Fires may
start by spontaneous combustion in
large accumulations of waste and
trash. ....
Carelessness in permitting trash and
waste paper to accumulate in base
ments and in alleys is another cause
of fires. The chief is constantly on
the go, inspecting buildings and seek
ing to warn property owners when
their buildings are menaced with fire
risk. He should be given every
assistance in making the inspection
and his visit should not be regarded
as an intrusion.

New Method Of Killing Rabbits.

AT last an effective way has been
found to combat rabbits that in
fest the farming regions each year,
and as a result, the little pests are
being killed off in large numbers
while the farmer sleeps.
On the government project in
the Hermiston district the new
plan is working like a charm,
Dairy salt and strychnine make
up the agency that is depicting
the ranks Of the destructive ami
mails. The farmers in that dis
trict have placed at different points
over the land small receptacles
containing the poisoned salt. Beer
rabbit, always fond of salt, takes a
nihble of the mineral and soon
dies from the effects of the tiny
bit of strychnine that he uncon-
sciously gets with the more choice
morsel.
As result it is said that thous-
ands of caroasses are lying scat
tered about the places where the
poisoned salt has been placed,
sending out anything but a pleas
ant odor during the high tempera-
ture. But the crops are damaged
less.
The proportion Of the poison is
one ounce to a pound of salt, and
a small vessel containing tiny bit
of the stuff is sufficient to cause
the death of a large number of the
pests. --Pendleton Tribune.

"How rapidly is land within
this district becoming swamped?"
1.-THE reclamation survey dis
closes the fact that 1880 acres
within the boundaries of the dis
trict, were water-logged az the end
Of 1913. While the term water
logged as used in the report does
not, in all instances. mean that
the land thus classified lie useless,
IL does mean that it either has
gone, OF 10 going in the very near
future. In some instances il is
impossible TO gather the crop
which has been grown this pres
emit season.
1.-THE plans proposed for this
district are very similar 10 those
incorporated in the contract be-
tween the reclamation service and
the Pioneer Irrigation district
where the results have more than
exceeded the expectation of the
most sanguine."
The ratification Of the proposed
contract automatically cancels the
present contract now in force
and on record with the reclama-
ton service. This in itself will
be a great benefit to the lands
