Robert Steuart Home Is
One of the County's Best
Modern Home Heated by Hot Water, Lighted by Private
Electric Plant Two Bath Rooms, Hard Wood Finished
Artistic and Convenient

The Robert Stewart home, To-
Gated a mile south of Redwood
Falls, is one of the pleasantest
and best equipped homes in the
county as may be judged from
the picture of it.
Two years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Stewart moved onto this farm
ON which the improvements
were more or less dilapidated
being for the most part build
ings erected many years ago and
lacking in both repairs and mod
ern conveniences.
Since then the changes made
in the place have been little
short of miraculous, so rapidly
were they made and so excellent
are they. The house is one of
the most complete and most
beautiful to be found in the

county, either among the farm
homes or town homes. Built of
artistic brick with large screened
porches and situated before a
background formed by a beau
tiful grove and with a we'll
graded lawn in front, the home
as seen from the road, has a
most attractive appearance.
The interior is even more at
tractive than the exterior being
finished in beautiful hard woods,
splendidly lighted and designed
both for beauty and convenience.
Among the convenient features
which make for unusual farm
home comfort and luxury, are
two bath rooms, the hot water
plant which keeps the temporal
ture so comfortably warm, and
the private electric plant in

and barns, but also power for an
electric washer, an electric iron
and numerous other electric con-
trivances which tighten the
housewives work. Greatest Of
these is the electric vacuum
cleaner, which is found in few
private homes, and is one of the
greatest improvements of the
electric age.
Mr.. Stewart has been an ex-
ceptlonally successful farmer.
devoting his entire time and en-
ergy to the raising of crops and
the bettering of farm conditions.
In the farm on which the new
home was built, is a quarter-sec-
ton of Redwood County's excel
lent land and Mr.. Stewart also
owns other farmlands, now
rented. Since his occupancy of
his present home Mr.. Stewart
has erected a silo Is by so feet
and gone in extensively for cat
tie feeding, in which he has been
very successful. Mr.. Stewart
has fattened anywhere from one
to six carloads of feeders at one
time and is also an expert hog
ralser. Within a very short time
ne expects to erect a new barn
with all the convenient and mod
ern features and commodious
enough to accommodate his live
stock.
One feature of the Stewart
home which has been very at
tractive the past few weeks is
the orchard, covering nearly ten
acres. There is a fine acre tract
OF young trees all of apples best
adapted to the rigors of a Min
nesota climate. Mr.. Stewart all

"FIRE PREVENTION DAY"
Governor Manning Designates Fri
day, October 8.

Columbia, September 24.-Gover-
nor Manning today signed a procla-
nation designating Friday, October
8, as "Fire Prevention Day." 1t is
estimated that the fire loss in the
United States and Canada in 1914
was more than s235, 100000, and in
order to reduce this enormous waste
of resources of our country, it is the
custom of the governors of the va
rious States in the Union to deslg-
nate day for the discussion of this
important subject. The governor be-
lieves that if the people of South
Carolina will meet together on this
date and discuss among themselves
the best methods of preventing fires,
and at the same time have the teach
ers in the public schools impress up
on the minds of the children the
danger of carelessness in the han
, ding of inflammables, it will result in
great saving of life and property.
It is expected that the city and coun-
ty officials, as we'll as the fire chiefs,
will faarrange public meetings on this
date for the purpose of interesting
the people in this work.
The proclamation follows:
Whereas, one of the common forms
of economic waste, as well as loss of
life, is through the destruction of
property by fire; and the significant
thing about this is that so much OF
it is so unnecessary and prevent
able; and
Whereas, our people should use
constant care, individually, officially
and collectively, to avoid and pre-
vent fire-breeding conditions, as we'll
as to be alert and efficient in con-
trolling and extinguishing fires when
started, and in order to promote such
general watchfulness:
Now, therefore, I, Richard I. Man
ming, governor of the State of South
t Carolina, do hereby designate and
proclaim Friday, October 8, 1915, as
Fire Prevention Day." and I urge
! the public schools of the State, and
! the county and municipal officers
thereof, to give, in proper manner,
formal recognition of the day and it's
meaning, and request citizens gen.
orally to give special attention on
that day to the conditions of their
premises, to the end that the waste
and loss of property and life by fire
may be reduced to the minimum in
the State of South Carolina. Es-
pecially would I urge upon the
teachers and parents of the State to
impress upon the children of South
Carolina the danger from fire, and
