said, but actresses and actors is got to

has got on the morals of the actors and
actresses. However, Zapp, supposing that
the people which goes to see the Russian
ballet is as innocent as the police claims,
Zapp, it wouldn't make no difference any

On account Of the excessively dry

Farmers should be exceedingly care

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
OCTOBER 9, 1916.

A few years ago campaign was
started against loss Of life and pro
perty from fire by a committee Of
publicity and education in Chicago.
The committee proposed a Fire Pre-
vention Day, day to be observed
throughout the state as, a. .geneHAl
cleanup day October 9th, then an
ll;versary of the Chicago con1agra-
tion. was the day set, and to-day
nearly every state IN the Union OBJ
serves the day. The day will b. re-
cognized this year in Minnesota, and
this department wishes to urge the
observance Of the same. Municipal
officers and the press can do much
to awaken the people to the need of
fire prevention. Fire prevention
means good housekeeping: the clean
ing out Of attics, store-rooms,
closets and easements, the proper
disposal of rubbish, making heating
plants and stoves safe, repairing de-
fective flues and chimneys, repairing
gas fixtures and electric light cords,
and the proper storage of gasoline.
The schools should be urged to
hold appropriate exercises and fire
drills. This department. will be
pleased to furnish the school author
tiles suggestions for school programs
upon request.
