WARMING AGAINST FIRE
STATE INSURANCE COMMISSION
Err O'BRIEN ISSUES PRAIRIE
FIRE WARNING.

Pierre, Nov. special: At this
season of the year especial car
should be exercised to guard against
prairie fires. Because of the abund-
ant growth of the native grasses dur
ing the past summer, there is an espe-
cial danger of devastating prairie
fire of grass or stubble at this time
gering human life. The statutes of
South Dakota prohibit the setting on
fire of grass or stabble at this time
of the year unless the same is pro-
tected by a fireguard at least fifty
feet wide, and violation of the statute
is punishable by fine and imprison-
ment. Causing a prairie fire by care
lessness is also punishable under the
South Dakota laws. Caution against
this danger should be the watchword
of everyone.

It Isn't Your Town-It's You.

If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new,
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead,
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see.
1t isn't your town-it's you.
