An alarm of fire was turned in car
ly Tuesday afternoon, the cause prov
ing to be some burning leaves and
trash at the home of Oscar Snelson,
in the northeast part of town, which
threatened to burn some fencing. The
fire boys were quickly on the scene,
and, as usual, quenched the blaze in
short order, with virtually no damage
done.

EAT MORE POTATOES

PotatOeS are ABUNDANT now ana
cannot be sent abroad. Potatoes are
a good food and can be used at din
ner instead of bread.
Save food by careful cooking! The
least wasteful method of cooking po-
tatoes is with the skins left on, po-
tatoes not soaked and the cooking
started in boiling water. When the
potatoes are started to cook in cold
water, there is a great loss of food.
Wash, scrub with a vegetable brush
and put to cook in boiling water.
This time of the year the potato
mashes up gummy. To avoid this,
steam your potatoes in a steamer If
you have. one, if not, make one.

FIRE PREVENTION
Safety Rules for Kerosene

IOT fNSIO OoStC
1. Be sure that oil-heaters and cook
ers do not leak and that they will not
overturn
2. Keep their burners clean and do
not turn the flames too high
8. Keep the oil can outside of the
house, if possible
4. Do not let the floor beneath the
can become oil-soaked.
5. Make sure that the can does not
leak nor drip.
6. Never leave oil uncovered.
7. Fill by daylight only any recep-
tacle in which oil is to be burned
8. Never start coal or wood fire
with oil.
Safety Rules for Gasoline
l. Always remember that you mds
take no chances with gasoline; it is
one of the most dangerous materials
in common use.
2. 1t must always be kept in tightly
fastened cans; never in glass bottles.
8. 1t should never be uncovered
within the house, nor at any point
where it's fumes can travel to an open
flame, a live coal or a spark.
f. Do not use it for cleaning if you
can get a safe cleaning preparation.
5. Gasoline in quantity should be
kept in underground tanks.
6. No one should be allowed to
smoke in a garage.
Z. No one should be allowed to
smoke in an automobile while its gas
oline tank is being filled.
8. Do not use water upon a gaso-
line or kerosene fire; use chemical
extinguisher; or else throw earth or
sand upon it-try to smother it.
Safety Rules for Gas
1. Make sure that lamps, stoves,
heaters, pipes that burn gas, and their
connections are we'll made, tight and
free from leaks.
2. When you smell escaping gas,
first open doors and windows, then
find the leak at once.
8. Never look for a leak with a
lighted match, lamp, candle or flame
of any kind; use an electric flashliSht.
if you have one; otherwise find the
leak by the sense of smell.
4. Correct the leak at once, or else
shut off the gas at the meter and send
for a gasfitter. Do not light up in the
house until this has been done.
5. Never buy cheap rubber gas-tub-

iron pipes, get a good quality of flex;;
ible metal tubing and make sure that
it is tightly joined at both ends.

MEN SEE
SHORT SERVICE

All Arizona men called for service
between the 18th and 14th were dis
missed and returned to their respect
i've homes by the different local
boards. This leads to the conclusion
that the United States army will not
be further recruited and that the next
move of moment in army circles will
be the return OF our boys who are at
present in training camps and later
the return of soldiers now doing duty
in France. Many of the soldier boys
abroad, however, will probably not
return for year or two as they will
be engaged in police duty in Germany
and Austria. The dismissal of the
bsys last Tuesday was quite a keen
disappointment to the younger set,
who were anxious to go abroad and
join in the big fray. Married men
and others with dependents took an
entirely different view of the situa-
ton and thanked God for their good
fortune. Some Of the younger boys
will now try to enter the service
through other channels.

SHIP MANGANESE
SUPERIOR LEASE

SUPERIOR, Ariz, November 15-
Tom Gray, leasing on Superior &
Arizona ground, has two car loads OF
manganese en- route to the treatment
plant at Chicago ana has two addi-
tional cars on the platform at the
mine, which will go out as soon as it
can be freighted to the railroad. Tom
has big manganese ledge in sight
and if the market holds is in line to
clear up something approaching a for
tune. The stuff runs approximately
fifty per cent, and the returns should
be something like $125 per ton. Now
that the war is practically over there
is naturally a little speculation as to
a manganese market. Plenty of the
mineral has been shipped into this
country in the past, and with repub-
lican congress there is every reason
10 believe that the industry will re-
ceive recognition and protection.

If foreign army should land upon
our shores it could not wreak moro
destruction than this. II such an army
should come and any American were
found to be giving it aid, he would be
called traitor to his country. Every
patriot would rise against such a foe.
The spirit of carelessness in the
United States is really q greater en-
emy than any foreign invader, and it
is found in millions of little uncon-
scious acts Of carelessnes3. When.
ever you, yourself, commit such an
act, therefore you really range your

healthier, more efficient and mere
useful to humanity. This is the spirit
Of true patriotism.

FIRE LOSSES

Here are some figures that should
open our eyes. In 1918, the year be-
fore the outbreak of the war, the av-
erage fire loss for each man, woman
and child in France was 49 cents; in
England it was 33 cents; in Germany,
28 cents; in Austria, 25 cents; in Italy,
Is cents; in Switzerland, Is cents;
and in Holland only IL cents.
IN THE UNITED STATES FOR
THE SAME YEAR THE DIRECT
LOSS WAS $21O, and the indirect
loss was far higher Our record was.
therefore, more than four times as
bad as that of France, and nearly
twenty times as bad as that of Hol-
land.
Vienna and Chicago are cities of
9bout the same size Vienna had fire
lrso1 for the year 1913 of $3O3,2OO;
ea3o- 3 were $3,513,2 ,237, or more than
eighteen t.mos as great. New York
City's fire losses were about four and
one-half times as largo rs those of
London. A simil&c comparison might

per cent of all American fires came
from strictly preventable causes, while
A7.S per cent were partly preventable,
and 23.3 per cent came from unknown
causes, which probably were largely
preventable.
