There are some people who
think that the bunch of pigs we
had here on the 18th was as
good as they ever saw. | want
to thank all the boys for the
showing they made. Personally
| know the pigs were excellent
and the boys the most indurtrious
bunch of youngsters that | ever
saw.
| want to promise the boys
that next year there viii be no
delay as we will have the pens
out in the open at the athletic
grounds where there will be no
trouble in getting the hogs in
and out.
Since the announcement OF the
prizes | have been called on
number of times to explain how
it was that such and such boy
got such and such rrize.
There seems to be considerable
misunderstanding regarding the
first prize. The system of
awarding prizes was specially
designed to give every boy an
equal chance. At most fairs
the prizes are awarded to the
"Best Pig. But the boys es-
pecially should remember that in
the spring when they came to
get the pigs they had to take
what / had bought for them and
the prices ranged all the way
srom $40 to SIG. Certainly
some boys got better pigs than
others and the boy that got the
sorriest pig had no say in the
matter. For this reason the first
prize went to the best combina-
ton of boy, pig and feed. The
boy with his record book counted
rs points, the pig Is points and
the gain per day or the feeding
counted so points.
Horace Kinney made the 80
points on gain per day. He stole
cream out of his mothers ice
box to feed his pig. While l do
not indorse his methods he
certainly got results with points
On his pig and 20 points on his
book he had a total of 81 points,
which gave him the Twenty Dol
lar Grand Prize.
Garland Prather came a close
second and Sherman Rape third.
The prize for the best pig was
awarded to Clarence Corley.
Charlie Dollar came second.
In handling the decision of the
judges on the third place the
clerks made a slight error in the
hurry at the last minute. Wade
Aycock was awarded tie ribbon
but Ruben Jolly got the money.
On examination Of the records l
md that these two boys tied for
third place with preference of
re judges in favor of Wade.
Rsy state that he has an ex-

September will mark the return of Vacationists who have found pleasure al eastern resorts, the California coast or In Arizona's own delightful haunts Tn the northern part of the state The absentees this summer have been fewer than usual owing to the spirit of unrest due to the war situation It too is responsible for the early return of travellers, the husbands, sons and brothers of many having been called to colors during the past few weeks The opening of school on the seven teenth will necessitate the return of many families who wish their young sons and daughters to enroll on the first day of school Word of pleasant weather at home has also reached those who are away and are eager to return when the temperature falls. The August days have been unusually cool and delightful evenings have been the inspiration for number of informal events that have made time pass in a charming manner.

cent conflagratiOn at Atlanta, Ga, winch swept seventy five blocks of houses, involving a property loss of $4,- 9oo,0O0. is directly traceable to shingle roofs. It is found in every conflagra- ton Of this character that burning shingles are carried mile or so away, starting new fires, and finally the blaze gets beyond the control of the fire de- partment
 Fire protection bodies, have been tell ing the people about the danger of shin gle roofs for some time but seemingly little heed was paid to these warnings Now the man with a shingle roof dwelling is to be penalized and consid- ering the extra fire insurance premium ne Will have to pay, it will be to his advantage to put on a non -combustible roof at the start.
 The three conglagrations last year, at Paris. Tex, Nashville, Tenn, and Au- gusta, Ga., were all traceable to the shingle roof. During the last six months or so insurance organizations have been collecting data as to the shingle roof menace, and so startling were the returns that the rating authorities at once decided that it was necessary to make charge for the shingle roof
 Chicago Sets the Pace
 In Chicago the board of fire under writers a few years ago began allowing credit for a noncombustible roof. In some cities the fire insurance men have been so active in calling attention to

the the danger of shingle roofs that or dinances have been passed making shingle roofs prohibitive in the fire dis trict. The higher cost of materials and labor have made fire losses much more expensive to the insurance companies and hence more than ever they are ac- tive in attempting to reduce all phys ical hazards to a minimum.
 It was found at Atlanta, for instance. that where an owner did not carry suf- ficient insurance or had none at all the blow fell on him more heavily than he anticipated. owing to the present price of building materials. Even at Atlanta insurance men had been urging the adoption of an ordinance preventing shingle roofs, pointing out the possible dangers and yet sufficient influence could not be brought to bear to induce the city council to act.
 In most of the cities today are large residential areas with shingle roofs. and none is free from the conflagratioh hazard. Now that the rating authori- ties are taking hold of the situation and penalizing the shingle roof residence and making it an object to have non- combustible roofs, the newer structures. no doubt, will find it to their advantage to use approved fireproof roofing ma terials-Brick and Clay Record.
