FOREIGN FOE WOULD
BURN FOOD SUPPLY
WHAT SPIES DO FOR THE KALI
SER AT RISK OF LIFE SOME
AMERICANS Do THROUGH
CARELESSNESS.

Finding the great Washburn-Cros-
by and Pillsbury flour mills guarded
by an elaborate system of human
sentries and official red tape and that
in Minneapolis and st. Paul the en-
envy alien is held responsible for fires
that have already destroyed four
large grain elevators, the editor and
publisher of the Southern Contsruc-
ton News has returned from Mime
sofa and other northern points with
fresh determination to wage war on
the curse of fire waste.
What is the differnce in result, asks
the Southern Construction News,
whether a grain elevator is Destroy
ed by an emisary of the Kaiser or
through the carelessness of an Ameri-
can manager of mill hand. The Gen.
trail Powers are benfited just as truly
when American food Ii destroyed by
careless fire as by spy fire and
fire is as effective in preventing our
food from going to help our allies a.
is a German submarine.
What is true Of grain in northern
elevators is true of cotton in Southern
warehouses or of any other commo-
dity representing human effort and
potential war power.
That thoughtlessness. Ignorance,
slack management and other forms
of carelessness are responsible for
nearly half of our fires, rs proved by
figures Of the Arkansas Actuarial
Bureau. is a fact that should and viii
cause a public demand for more
stringent prevention regulations.
The remedy for extreme and wanton
fire waste lies with public sentiment
Insurance Not q Fire Extinguisher.
The question Of insurance does not
enter into the crime against humanity
that is committed every time goods
food. supplies or other forms of hui
man wealth are wiped off the face
of the earth by fire. Fire is great
thief that robs the human race or
the products of its labor. Insurance
is simply shock absorber that pro-
tects the individual from ruin. 1t
collects the loss from many pocket
books instead Of one. But it doesn't
replace the goods that were Destroy
