FIRE PREVENTION DAY
WILL BEGIN OCT. 8
State Fire. Marshal Would Have
Whole State Aid Him
in His Work.

Fighting Minnesota's fire toll with
prevention, the year around, the state
fire marshars department: is making
special efforts that all progressive
towns in the state will observe the
fifth annual Fire Prevention Day" on
Monday, Oct. 9, as fixed by proclama-
ton of Governor J. A. A. Burnquist.
Toward further reducing the annual
fire loss of life and property and aid
ing in the Minnesota made-freproof
movement, State Fire Marshal Robert
w. Hargadine suggests that in live
communities
Mayors will issue like proclama-
tions urging local celebrations of the
day-freless celebrations;
Civic and commercial organizations
will arrange meetings to plan to make
the home town fireproof;
Schools will have appropriate exer-
cises-talks on the danger of the
small boy and match, and like combi-
nations;
Men and women will look about
their homes and clear away attic, base
ment, back yard or other accumula-
tions that make for fire danger.
IF Minnesota people will only stop
to think that the nations fire toll is
5000 lives a year and $500 loss a
minute; although two-thirds of the
fire are preventable, fire prevention
day this year will he a big success in
every town." said Fire Marshal Harga-
dine. Every person in the state will
join in the movement, because sick
ness and fire are nearest to them
liable to Strike home any day."
Records in the fire marshaIs office
show gradual reduction in the fire
losses in Minnesota. and part of the
credit for the showing is given to the
general observance of fire prevention
day each year in all cities.

positive that he is fully competent to
handle the work in the manner which
will prove of greatest benefit to the
people of the county. Give Mr.. Skitf

of a competent county surveyor arc
absolutely necessary if the road monies

.3f The County Schools
We frequently hear it said that the
office of County Superintendent of
Schools is not department of the
county government 1t NAV be that il
is not directly a part, bnt the work OF
the schools of our county are all i'm
portant. Believing that her great ex-
perience in school work both as teacher
and superintendent fitted her for the
positiou, the Republicans prevailed on
Mrs Bessie Weber of Divide creek to
make the campaign for the office, She
believes in good. stable government
whether it be county. state or nation
and she realizes that the government of
the future will be conducted by those
are the school boys and girls of today.
This means that the boys and girls of
today must be given the best possibl.
school training if they are to be pre-
pared to take their places in govern
mental affairs in the, future. This
means that the rural as well as the
town anl city schools must be brought
to the highest possible plane and Mrs.
Weber, who has gained practical knowl-
edge in school rooms. knows the steps
which should he taken to bring about
greater efficiency. Elected three times
school superintendent before she came
to our county and the last time unop
posed, speaks well for the high regard
the people had for her qualifications for
the office she seeks. Give Mrs. Weber
a vote November 9TH and YOU will have
aiken step which will mean the
Frightening of the future of your boys
and girls.

In his introductory remarks Judge
Noonan referred to an accusation which
had just come to him to the effect that
he had attacked in an unfair manner
his opponent. He declared that all
such statements We're absolutely untrue
and said that on the other hand he had
known Mr.. Delaney since the latter
was little boy, that his ranch was
near the home of Mr.. Delaney's moth
ers with whom he and Mrs. Noonan
were the best of friends, and that he
was making no personal attack what
ever on Mr.. Delaney and would prefer
to be defeated rather than do so.
He referred, however to the lack Of
service to this section by Mr.. Delaney
and other district attorneys of the past
and reminded the people that we had
had practically no service from dis
trict attorneys since Judge Shumate
held the office. and cited number of
instances where district attorney was
needed and Mr.. Delaney would not ac.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

In connection with the proposed herd
law that has been initiated and on
which voters are called upon to pass
at the coming elections: The State
Board of Live Stock Commissioners of
Colorado at full meeting of the board,
passed unanimously the following reso-
luton:
The Board feels that this is the most
injurious and dangerous piece of legis-
lation, and as this board is non. partisan
and has been created for the benefit of
the live stock industry of the state and
is doing its best to fill its mission; We

opinion that if it becomes effective it
will seriously iniure the live stock in

For your information we further de-
sire to say that the votes secured for
this measure 80 that it could be put
to ballot, were 20.959, and the secretary
of state has certified to us that of that
total lo797 votes were secured in the
city of Denver; these names were un-
donhtedly given by people who knew
nothing Of the question and were prob
ably solicited to do so,

Henry j. Baird of Delta was the last
speaker and Judge Noonan paid him
a glowing tribute in his introduction
Mr.. Baird was pleased to be greeted
by so large an audience in the home
town of his opponent, Congressman
Taylor, and at once went into details
as to what his conduct would be if the
people of this district were pleased to
elect him to congress.
Mr.. Baird is pleasant but forceful
speaker and he did not mince words
in announcing his platform. He de-
clared himself as opposed to the caucus
rule which has prevented his opponent
from voting for great many measures
that would have benefited his consti-
tuents. He also denounced the "pork
harrel' system which has been worked
by the Democrats in the last two ses-
sions of congress as never before.

protective tariff, especially protecting
those products in which Colorado is es-
pecially interested, such as minerals,
sugar, live stock etc. - ~ ~
Mr.. Baird paid his respects to the
Adamson bill and showed wherein the
laboring men had been buhcoed by
this act, proving his statements by
long opinion of Hon. Milton l.. Claw
son of Indianapolis, attorney for a
large number of labor organizations, in
Guiding the railway unions. After
proving by Mr.. Clawson that the rail-
way union men did not get, through
the Adamson bill the relief they
thought they were getting, Mr.. Baird
said:
- have quoted the important por-
lions of the opinion and can reach no
other conclusion, than that the railroad
employees have been outrageously de-
ceived and the bill is unfair to organ
lied labor. By all rules of right and
justice all employees in the railroad
service (and | will include in this list

men, railway postal clerks and all other
classes of labor are entitled to a work

hours for labor, eight hours for rest,

zen. For these principles stand with

these farmers can cash their crop is to
either feed it to their own cattle or

business, and if that section or any

the farming side of the business as well
