or magazine should be constructed. secured by good hefty lock.
 Stretch a string through the house. one end tied to a nail and the other over pulley or spool with tin nail hanging on the end. Fill the pail with broken glassawer and tin cans. In case of fire the string will burn and allow the pail to drop. This is a sim pie and inexpensive fire alarm if one is not a too heavy sleeper. One of these contraptions should be installed on both floors if yours is a two-story house.
 Every night fill an ordinary wash tub with water and set it beside vour bed where you will be sure to find if without delay even without a light. in case you should be called to arise in the night by fire alarm. If one will make practice of this it will be safer to do without the kind of fire extin- guishers that hang on the wall ready for use.
 If the above directions are strictly followed one may retire secure in the knowledge that he has taken a great deal of pains to thwart the fire danger To those whose love of ease and sense of comfort preclude such elaborate precautions the following brief sug- gestions are offered
 Be positive that all your fues are absolutely safe. Put ashes in metal holders only. Don't permit gasoline to be used indoors in open vessels and never fill gasoline stoves while light ed or with a light or flame near. Don't leave fire in fireplace or grate unattended. Know that your electric wiring is safe, year by year. Teach the children the danger of matches and then keep matches out of their reach. Get in the habit of using safety matches anyway. Re- member stoves need protection under heath and in front of walls. Don't allow oily rags or sweeping com pounds or oily mops to lie around. Don't let trash and waste paper ac- cumulate in the house. Then use un- common common sense all the time and you may never have a fire.

ADVICE TO THOSE WHOSE
 HOUSE IS GOING TO BURN

If you live in a house that will burn down. it is suggested by the fire pre- |yentiOn editor of the Southern Con- structiOn News that you take the fol- lowing precautions:
 Pile all your furniture on the front porch every night before retiring. This will simplify rescue work, and avoid breakage. The moving can be cone With more care and deliberation than Tn case of sudden awakening when the house is on fire. Retain the beds in the house, of course, during the night together with any other fur mture or equipment that might be re- qulred' such as medicine chest, stoves, one clock, etc.
 II the neighborhood is such that it S not entirely safe to leave valuables on the front porch a fre-proof shed

OPPORTUNITY FOR
 COTTON GROWERS

Expert cotton growers who are look ing for location in which to plant cotton will find the Carlsbad irriga- tion project, in New Mexico, most at tractive. Cotton has been grown here successfully on small areas since 1901. Notwithstanding that the growers have been as a rule men without eX- perience in the industry, the average has been about two-t thirds of bale Der acre. The crop has not been sta bilized and the production has been limited and of several varieties. The region is eminently fitted for growing long staple cotton of excellent quality, and this grade of cotton grown ast year at Phoenix sold for an average of 35 cents per pound. By diversity ing crops on the project, alternating cotton with legumes like alfalfa, and beans. all of which are profitable, the necessity of fertilizing the land IS usually eliminated so that cotton can be produced with less expense than in many southern districts.
 The U. S. Reclamation Service at Washington, D. C., has invested sev- eral million dollars in constructing an elaborate irrigation system for water ing the 10000 acres included in this project, and will furnish information concerning the soil, climate, crops, and terms.
 The New Mexico valley IS beauti- fully situated, has an enjoyable and healthful climate, and contains large areas adapted to the cotton crop as we'll as many others. Its people are largely drawn from the Southern States.
