LOOK AFTER YOUR CHIMNEYs

In 1915 Kansas had 265 fires
caused by defective fiues. These fires
destroyed property valued at $214,-
4s2.
There is no necessity for defective
fiues. Practically every dollar Of
this loss was preventable. Most Of
this loss occurred in the winter,
working great hardship on people
who were driven out of their homes
in all kinds Of weather and at all
hours of the night.
During the coming winter another
two hundred thousand dollars or
whereabouts will go up in smoke from
the same cause, and two hundred
more families will find themselves
homeless in the cold and snow.
And it will be entirely their own
fault.
It is an easy matter to inspect a
chimney. If you are not enough Of
a mechanic to do 1t yourself you can
employ some competent person for
almost nothing.
Chimneys that are used for sup
ports for wooden timbers in the
building should be condemned and
their use discontinued until the evil
is corrected. Many fires start from
this cause. Either the wood becomes
hot enough to burn or the weight
resting on the timbers causes the
chimney to settle leaving a crack
thru which the flames escape.
Bracket chimneys are so hazard
GUS as to be almost criminal. The
brackets supporting the chimney al
most invariably settle in time, throw
ing the chimney out Of line and caus-
ing the opening of cracks between
the bricks. Then comes the fire.
The winter season is almost here
when fires will be in full blast and
your property and your lives will be
in danger.
This is your last chance to prepare
for winter. Do it now before you
forget. Inspect your chimney at
once and see that it is safe. The State
Fire Marshal is doing all he can to
reduce the fire loss in Kansas, but
he is powerless unless the public will
join in the work and give heed to
warnings like this one.

STATE LIVESTOCK ASSN
TO MEET IN GAINESVILLE

Jacksonville, Oct. 31.-The State
Livestock Association will hold it's
next meetings at the University of
Florida, Gainesville, Jan. 16 to 19.
The meeting place was decided upon
at session of the executive commit
tee in Jacksonville, Oct. IS.
The time of meeting is especially
convenient to livestock men since it
will be followed Immediately by the
Livestock Institute at the University.
The Citrus Seminar was originated
to take care of the citrus people and
the Livestock Seminar has in view a
similar purpose for the stock grow
ers.
The Livestock Institute has been
extended one day 1t was formerly
scheduled for three days but owing
to the greater interest stockmen have
shown, it will cover four days, jan
uary 16 to 19 inclusive.
John w. Scott, animal industrial
list to the Experiment Station, will
have charge of the program. He will
have a tentative plan of the meeting
ready within the next few weeks.
Tick eradication is one Of the most
important and interesting subjects
before livestock raisers at present
and it will receive considerable at
tention during the institute.
Forage crops will be another i'm
portant topic for discussion. 1t is
we'll known that better feeds will be
supplied when ticks have been driv-
en- out. Better animals will be
raised, and stockmen realize that II
will be to their interest to provide
better grades of feed
Other topics of timely interest
will be discussed Some of the best
livestock men of the State and ma
tion will attend the meeting and
give lectures. These men will be in
position to give valuable suggestions
and no stockman can afford to miss
the meeting, since in no other way
will he he able to obtain or command
such information.
