FIRE HAZARD WATCHED
kEENlY BY SOLDIERS

CAMP FUNSTON, Kan. Jan. 81
Every hour throughout the day and
night strict precautions are taken
at this national army cantonment to
guard against the fire hazard. No
fire of consequence has occurred
here but this fact has not resulted
in the exacting regulations which
each man must observe.
A recent general order says:
Every officer an. enlisted man
must consider it a duty of prime
importance to be constantly on the
alert in the observance of fire regu-
lations."
From reveille to retreat, in and
around every barrack, store-house
magazine and other buildings, a spe-
cial Waterman is charged with fire
protection. He is instructed to make
thorough inspection OF his building
at least twice each hour
Fire alarms are to be held during
the night as well as day. In case
Of a night alarm each soldier will
be required to dress hurriedly and
leave the barracks with arms, equip.
ment, blankets and accessories. Des-
ignated details will attend to the
food. company records and ammuni-
ton
The big whistle at the cantonment
Is the warning signal. +,

doing an immense amount of good
for the county highway system. En-
gineer Ryan has sent out the SOS.
sign to call local men In the various
localities who have drags in their
possession TO get busy and drag the
roads in their district. No rains
up to this time have fallen so as to
cause floods. first because the rains
have been OF the slow fall variety
and secondly. the ground is doing
no little absorbing The gradual
improvement in the drainage work
OF the various roads is showing up
to advantage Work on the Bisbee-
bee-Tombstone section of the State
highway is progressing with more
satisfactory results because Of the
improvement in the working condi-
ton OF the soil caused by the snow
and rain. The worst need out in

more Migrants from the justices

reply to the criticisms of his loyalty sent out from
Tombstone his hOme neither have those responsible for
his appointment offered any defense explanation for

but the attempts which have been made to retire Hen
derson from position where only unquestioned loyalty
should be found should be kept up determindedy. If

1.-THE Barrler.v

From the first showing of "he Bar
irer," by Rex Beach, from his famous
novel. at the Broadway Theatre. in
New York City, this wonderful picture
has proved an amazing success. 1t
captured the big audience from the
start. 1t held them breathless through
scene after scene Of swift, stirring ac-
ton. 1t called forth waves of APP
plause as the thrilling climaxes were
reached. And all because THE Bar
rier" Is a great picture greatly pro-
duced-the highest development of
the photodrama.
A unique phase of the New York
run is that the press has been abso-
lutely unanimous in praise of the
barrier" which Is being presented un-
der the auspices of Lewis j. Selznick.
The entire production was under
the direct supervision of Mr.. Beach
himself, who organized the Rex Beach
Pictures Co. to produce in moving pic
lures his many popular novels. "The
Barrier" will be seen at the Audi
forum heatre on Friday and Satur-
day nights. The fact that it is booked
for two nights is evidence that it is an
unusual play.
