FIRE CAUSES OF FLORIDA,

Two hundred and forty thousand dol
lars was Florida's loss in 1915, from fires
that were entirely preventable That is
to say. an adequate inspection would have
revealed the danger element, or common
sense would have prevented the catastro-
phe. As causes, the defective fue, the
dropped cigarette, and the carelessly left
stove rank highest, with 5.5 per cent, %
per cent, and "a per cent of the lurid total,
to their respective credits
From partly preventable fires, F1orida's
loss amounted to S561 ,424, or BAL per cent;
and from unknown causes, S845, 626, no
doubt largely preventable
A grand total of 81 ,647, 594, over half of
which it is safe to say, would not have hap
pened but for carelessness of some sort.
The above statistics are selected from a
remarkable compilation prepared by the
National Board of Underwriters and repro
duced IN another column on this page
Figures such as these tell their own story
they should be studied by everyone. For
one thing they show that while Florida S
record is better than Georgia's, it is poorer
than Alabama's, but this is slim praise for
both Alabama and Florida, as the fire loss
OF the entire United States is many times
higher than it should be-a per centage
kthat leads the world.

Does not the navy yard have full COM
plement, for the first time since it was
tclosed by Meyer, later to be re-opened to
become the aeronautic CENTER And is it
not well known that this is hardly a be-
lginning of the great plans afoot?
Does not progressive increase in
postal receipts in 1916, the year that broke
3 all records, augrr we'll for the future?
Is not the 3,000-ton dock to be begun
within a few months?
Is not the largest vessel built in Pensa-
cola fast nearing completion, and are not
our fishing fleets being increased?
Have not our merchants emerged from
the cocoon of hopefulness into the splendor
of certainty?
Are not our schools to be improved?
Is not fertilizer factory to begin opera
tons shortly, and are not other industries
p<ojected for here, and is not the payroll
of those already established swelling all
the time?
Are not new buildings goingup and new
records being made in construction work?
Is not a "ship-a-day' becoming the rule?
Are there not more jobs than men to I'LL
them?
Is not the outlook bright for a great crop
year?
Are not our lands selling and our cattle
lowing and the price thereof rising?
Don't you know peace is in the air, and
that soon the capacity of even our match

date the lumber shipments?
Isn't spring almost here and doesn't your

Is not the government purposing to put

INSURANCE DEVELOPMENT.

Wasteful, the United States undoubtedly
is, but not improvident, as shown by the
fact that with less than fifteenth of the
population of the earth, it has now more
life insurance than all the rest of the world
put together!
And it is increasing. The per capita in
surance in 1905 in this country was $3.50,
and at the end of last year it was 1927.
Compare with the European figures and
increases of the past few years up to the
beginning of the war: England from
S103 to $162; Germany from $43 to $50;
France from SO to S31; Italy from So to
ST. Expressed in its enormous aggregate,
the life insurance of American companies,
at the end of 1915, amounted to $22. 700,-
100000, an increase of ten billions of dollars
from 1905, and the. present increase is at
the rate OLA billion year.
Life insurance is, indeed form of thrift
that is some compensation for our very low
savings bank average.
Rabindranath Tagore said that the
United States is probably the only country
in the world where the crust of a slice of

death.

Farmers Should ADVERTISE

Farmers who have number of
roasting size chickens ready to sell to
commission men might get better
price for them by selling to town or
city jewellers. Such prospective buy
ers can be found readily by using a
little advertising space in the home
town newspaper, and good business
be developed.
Many city jewellers have a small
yard and house for poultry where
they keep a few birds to fatten on
table and kitchen scraps, Such people
prefer birds of roasting size, keep
ing small flock of them so they may
pick out bird when needed. They
usually buy half-dozen or more al
one time and will pay more for them
than the farmer can get from the
commission men ordinarily.
