The corporation commission an
nounced that the date for the hearing
OF the proposed freight rate increases
had been continued from July 81 10

The roads are proposing the cancel
lation OF the North Carolina exception
sheet and the adoption OF the Southern
Classification, advance OF all classes in
the basic scale now applied in North
Carolina; diseontinuance OF the rule
authorizing the application Of the con.
tinuous mileage rate on shipments

Cardinals trunk lines and Of putting
mot effect the advanced local mileage
rate of each line less 10 per cent.

granted an extension Of time in pre-.

Campaign Against Fire Waste.

Appealing to city and county Off
Gals throughout North Carolina to joir
with the department In lending aid
to nationwide campaign against pre-
ventable fire waste, Insurance Com
missioner James r. Young has issued
a letter which will go to every person
interested in the state within the next
few days. The campaign, which is a
part OF the conservation movement
IN connection with the nation's par.
ticipation In the world war, has been
aiken up by the National Board of
FIRE Underwriters, and is being pushed
by insurance commissioners and fire
marshals all over America. The cam,
paign has the support of President
Wilson, who has issued a statement
which contains the following para
graph:
"Preyentable fire Is more than a pri.
vate misfortune, 1t Is public derellc.
ton. AT a time, like this, of emer.
gency and Of manifest necessity for
the conservation OF national resources
1t is more than ever a matter OF deep
and pressing consequence that every
means should be taken to prevent this
evil"
In Commissioner Young's appeal to
officials he points out the fact that
more than 100000 worth OF bread.
stuffs were destroyed In North Caro-.
lima last year in preventable fires.
In addition approximately like
amount was involved in mchinery and
equipment in plants for the making
and handling OF breadstuffs.
I'm this time OF emergency" the
statement says. loss Of foodstuffs is
total loss. Insurance money collected
does not replace the actual foodstuffs.
Our people cannot eat money. While
our soldiers are preparing to fight the
enemy. and our allies are holding out
their hands for food for themselves
and their dependent loved ones, it is
treason for our people to allow one
hing that goes into the making of food
10 be wasted"
The aid and support Of every city
md county official and every civic or
yanization in the state is urged in this
fire prevention campaign.
The commissioner again calls atten.
ion to the fact that an expert fire
Engineer in the service of the de-
,artment Is available at all times for
he training of fire departments for
titles and towns and to give instruc'
ion in fire fighting and fire prevention
means. Also, an electrical expert
lands ready to inspect and correct
rrors in electrical equipment that

ents. The services of these men, as
,ell as the other equipment of the
apartment. are at the call OF the
eople OF North Carolina.
