SILVER WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY

On Saturday evening, May 9,
about forty guests assembled at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harley Chin
mock, in the town of Troy, to help
the worthy couple celebrate their
twenty-ifth wedding anniversary.
The celebration was staged under
the auspices" of the The Kids
Club" a society of early organiza-
ton among the people cfthat neigh
borhood, some of whom have since
moved to town.
It was a joyous, jolly affair in
every detail. A mock marriage was
performed, John Chapman oficiat
ing. Mrs. George Chinook, Jr !,
was brides maid, and George
stood up" with the groom. Mrs.
Edna Morgan won admiration and
praise for her conduct as flower
girl. There was an abundance of
presents, constituting a collection
of beautiful and useful things that
will be highly valued by the re-
cipientS.
The wedding supper was a boun-
teous affair, and it was heartily APP
preciated by all present. This was
followed by a very entertaining
program, which ended with the
singing of Home Sweet Home"
and God Be With You Till We
Meet Again"

EIGHTY PER CENT OF FIRES
PREVENTABLE
OFFICIAL FIGURES OF THE TEXAS STATE
INSURANCE BOARD BASED ON
$4,000 FIRES.

State fire m%arshals, the federal
authorities and prevention experts
generally have estimated the pro-
portion of fires due to preventable
causes at between 25 and so per
cent of the total number of fires.
The Texas state insurance board,
an official body, holds that prac-
tically 80 per cent of the fires RI
preventable by the exercise of rea-
sonable care and protection, in
dividual and municipal.
These figures of the Texas board
are the more interesting because
they cover every fire reported to
it by the local authorities under
the provisions Of the state law
since December 1, 1910, now total
ing 1000. This is the largest mass
of official data available, and fur
nishes a sufficiently broad basis
of average to be conclusive, while
the fact that it is furnished and
tabulated by local and state Of
ficials puts it in a different class
from statistics collected by the in
surance companies, which might
be suspected Of drawing conclus-
ions to suit their own interests.
In fact, the state authorities go
much further than the insurance
men in estimating the proportion
of fires that are preventable.
Of 14,172 dwelling fires, the Tex
as board holds that 86.7 per cent
were due to preventable causes,
and of the 1928 fires in all other
classes except cotton gins and
automobiles, which are excluded
because they burn from inherent
causes, the board holds that 1853
per cent were preventable. Com
menting on these figures the Tex
as board says:
cit will be noted in the data
herein presented that more than
IS per cent of all fires charged to
the dwelling class alone, from
k1lO VII Cdu0CO, d1C LIN ~
defective flues. The unsafe in
stallation of stoves and other heat
ing devices in that class of risks
is responsible for IL per cent OF
losses, while sparks on roof pro-
duced more than 5 per cent OF
dwelling fires, The e~ver-present
menace of the single roof is in
evidence on every hand, and par
ticularly is it noticeable in almost
every cause shown carrying a
heavy percentage of losses. 1t
will be noted that gasoline and
other volatile fires r entered
with a loss ratio in all classes en-
tirely out Of keeping with ctndi-
tons as they should be, due almost
entirely to improper storage and
careless handling of those pro-
ducts"

cRESTS WIN AGAIN
BARDS LOSE WHEN Inv. STEWART ESTAE'
LIsHES WORLDS PITCHING RECORD
BARDs AND c%ATERPLLARS
MAY rs


the White Crests and Hoosier
Bards, of the Business Mems Lea
que, was certainly a thriller. The
Bards were first 1t bat, and al
though they got two hits off Sko9-
mo, they were unable to score. Mel
son shut out the Crests. Three er-
rors and two hits gave the Bards
five scores in the second, with For
syth pitching. The Crests came
back with a batting rally in their
half. Knobel walked. Sutherland
grounded out to G. Stewart, who
was pitching. Deickman, Hunter
and Wiger singled. Skogmo famed,
Knowles and Forsyth singled, Jen-
son was safe on Johnson's error,
and the eighth score of the round
was brought in when the pitcher
juggled Sutherland's grounder.
In the third inning the Crests
gave Hunter some grand support.
G. Stewart walked. Clark lined
out a hot one to left field that look
ed good for the circuit. bus Wiger
brought the fans to their feet by
making the difficult catch with the
ease of a professional. |. Stewart
got first on an error, and with
George on third, with but one out,
Deickman suddenly put an end to
the Bards' chances in that round by
pulling off a double pla unassisted.
Catching Wasson's fly, he touched
first before Irv. could get back.
The Crests added two in their
turn at bat, off WATSON. Suther-
land, pitching for the Crests in the
fourth, had a long seige of 1t, the
Bards getting five hits, which with
two errors. Melted them seven tai
lies. The Crests couldn't score
off Fl. Stewart, nor could the Bard S
get a man across in the first of the
fifth. This was an unusual inning,
in that the first FIVE Bard batterS
reached first base safely, but not
a score resulted, the put-outs being
made by throwing out base runner
at second and third. Not a hit was
made off Knobel and he walked
three of the FIVE batters who faced
him. The last half Of the fifth was
also an unusual baseball exhibition,
Irv. Stewart, pitching for the Bards,
threw eighteen balls to the first five
batters without even a hint of q
strike. Finally Knobel ended the
agony by reaching out for a wild
one and, slamming it over right
field, scored Knowles and Forsyth
with the winning runs. The final
tally was Is TO IL. There was no
one out when the Crests got in
their winning score.
