Preparation Prevents Panic.

The directions furnished rural schools
of Minnesota by the fire marshall are
so pertinent that we are reproducing
them in full:
First-Fire drills are essential and
they should be conducted at least once
a month and without preparation, SO
that the children will be instructed in
two important things: Order and rapid
ity in leaving the building.
Second - At stated times during
school hours, if possible, conduct a
fire fighting program, including short
talks by the teacher on fire prevention
and the consequences of carelessness.
1t is important that these lessons he
free from exciting features and ad-
dressed to the common sense of the
pupils rather than to their imaginations
Stories of fire horrors should be stud
iously avoided.
Third Principals and head instruc-
tors should see to it that all receptacles
for waste material are made from
metal and no receptacle should be
placed SO as to obstruct ingress or
egress, and should be near a water
supply if possible.
Fourth-All school buildings of two
stories or more should be provided with
, fire escapes and children taught how to
use them. All doors should open out
ward and never be locked during school
hours.
Fifth-Have fire gong provided for
each school of a different sound than
that of the one used for dismissal of
pupils.
Sixth-in the erection of school build
ings have chimneys thoroughly built
from the ground up, and not from half
way to the ceiling, as in many cases.
Chimney fires may not be the cause of
loss of life, but reports to this depart
ment show that they are prolific cause
of much damage in the rural districts.
Seventh - The chemical fire extir :
guisher should be provided for each
room. 1t should be especially located
close to the stove, which appears to be
a fixture in many of the rural school
buildings.
If these suggestions are taken they
will tend to reduce the annual loss from
fire in Minnesota as well as improving
the mental condition of future genera
tons, who in years to come will in all
probability put into practice in their
business and home life many Of the
valuable lessons on fire protection
learned.

Messrs. Merchant and Business Man,
have you ever thought of how you
would address a thousand persons if
they were all to gathered in your store
or place Of business at one time? Say,
wSuidn't that be an excellent opportu-
n p to present the merits of your
goods or the advantages offered by the
business in which you are engaged?
Wouldn't you grow eloquent in your
speech and do your best to impress
them with the fact that you are the
man to take care Of their wants? But
don't you know that your greatest
effort, or the efforts of the greatest
salesman in the world, would bear but
little fruit under such conditions. How
ever, if you could have private talk
with each one of these thousand per-
soma and present the merits of your
goods to each individual the results
could hardly be over estimated. The
wise salesman knows that he cannot
getresults by presenting the merits Of
his goods to a crowd, so he seeks out
the individual and talks business with
him. You say that the statesmen
who travel for wholesale houses can do
this because they have only few per-
sons to see in each town, but how can
l have private talk with each Of the
hundreds of persons that trade in our
town? 1t would take six months of my
time to make the rounds. Well, right
here is where The Star comes to your
assistance. An ad in this paper will
carry your message each week to the
very persons you want to reach. You
can tell them just exactly what you
would if you were talking with them
face to face. and you can tell it with
very little expenditure of your own
time and when it will not encroach upon
the time of the party you are talking
to. After the chores are done and the
home paper is taken in hand for a
pleasant hour of reading then is the
time you are talking to either an old,
new" PioePCSOSC SAoSohCA. AAAo VI
her work and hurry is over for the day
and the readers are pleased that you
are meeting them on their own ground
and are interested enough in them to
send them a message through the
paper. Did you ever stop to think
that your advertisement in the home
paper was 4 letter to your customers
each week. This is fine opportunity
for every business man in Dolores to
bare . weekly chat with his patrons
during the year 1916. An hour of time
spent each week in getting up an ad
and that ad inserted in The Star will
pay q thousand per cent on the time
and money expended.
