The above condition affects
every reader of this paper
whether he realizes it CT not.
Fire losses do not come out af
the pockets of the fire insuran-
ce underwriters. Only a
change of mental attitude, hab-
its and custom with relation to
fire and its prevention will
save America from her huge,
needless and awful fire losses.
Think of it. Twenty four and
one half million dollars worth
of our property and products
destroyed in one month by our

FIRE LOSSES TO DATE
EXCEED ALL LAST YEAR
Underwriters Say Situation Is
Serious Because of Diff
Guilty of Rebuilding

Losses from fire in Arkansas
exceed, to date, the entire loss
es Of last year, according to
Little Rock general agents of
fire insurance companies. 1t is
pointed cut by the fire insur-
ance underwriters that there is
a more serious aspect to the
matter than indicated by the
approximate doubling of the
1917 fire loss in 1918. That is
the increasing difficulty and
expense, both of buildings and
stock.
Much of the insurance now
in force, the insurance men
say, is based on old valuation
figures and is far from ade-
Quate to pay for replacement,
even were it possible to obtain
building material and stock
with the same facility as for
merly. Therefore while the
loss indicated by the insurance
policies to date since Jan. |,
are in excess of the total loss
es Of last year, the true loss in
dollars and cents to the prop
erty owners is far in excess of
that.
Arkansas is not alone III
heavier fire losses for, accord
ing to the Journal of CONNER
&c, of New York, which indie
pendently keeps fire statistics
fer the whole country, the July
ire losses totaled $24,537, 900
representing a so per cent in
crease over July fire losses last
year. And last year was in
GUIDED in the July figures the
81, 100000 loss OF the Black
Tom Island disaster. The Jour
nal of Commerce does not in
clude on its list fires causing
loss of less than $4,000.
Arkansas underwriters say
that experience shows heavier
losses may be expected during
the last six months of the year
than during the first six. They
make the further significant
statement that 70 per cent OF
all fires are due to carlessness
and are strictly preventable,
and the remainder due to I'M
discovered causes are largely

WILL BUY MACHINE GUNS
Our Towns Fourth Liberty Loan Sub
scriptions VIII Pay For Many
OF These Weapons

No other single weapon used in the
world has proved so efficacious as the
machine gun. Equally in offense and
defense it has become indispensable.
When our boys dash forward against
the Huns, they carry with them these
deadly guns, setting them up at every
pause to rake the ranks of the enemy.
When our aviators fly over the Ger
man lines, for combat or for observa-
ton. each airplane must carry one or
more of these weapons. Thousands
upon thousands of them are in use
now, and more must be provided in
an unending stream.
1t is well for the people of Anne
Arundel to fix these facts firmly in
their minds, for they are about to buy
a great number of machine guns with
which the boys of this place, who are
in the service. will shoot the kaiser's
soldiers full of holes.
One light Browning machine gun
costs the Government about $125.
Each resident of Anne Arundel who
will lend the United States Govern
ment $3.50 will know that he or she is
paying for two of those weapons, and
may be assured that those very guns
will soon be spraying with bullets
the brutal Boches who are trying to
ruin the world.
The way to lend this money to the
Government-which means to your
self-is open to each of you now
the bonds of the fourth Liberty loan
are put on sale. 1t will take only five
$50 bonds to pay for those two ma
chine guns. and if you cannot afford
to take all five of them, the members
of your household can combine to pur-
chase that number. Then, when later
you read about bunch of the Anne
Arundel boys lying in machine gun
nest in France beating back a coun-
ter-attack of the Huns, you can say:
Maybe they are using the guns our
family paid for"
