WORKS HARDSHIP

Mr.. Clyde Mcpherson, who was in
from his cattle ranch in the Canelo
Hills yesterday and Monday, informs
''The Oasis" that he has to move from
the forest reserve 200 head of cattle
that he had grazing there, and exten-
sion of the permit was refused.
Mr.. Mcpherson holds that such re-
fusal was unwarranted. He says
there is a vast quantity of grass on
the range, and it will rot where grow
ing. Grazing it does no harm, for
the soil is fertilized' by the cattle.

on the part of those who logically
can and should, is as important as
intelligent voting.
Observation shows that the begin

many young business men has been
the requirement of title deed to a
home. Credit is based on character
and resources. A home is a charac-
ter maker, and at the same time is
the greatest and most elemental re-
source of all.

Fires that Light Themselves

Damp lampbIack will ignite from the
suns rays.
The same can be said of cotton waste
moist with lard or other animal oil.
Under certain conditions lampblack
and little oil or water will ignite spon-
taneously.
Nitric acid and charcoal create spon-
taneous combustion.
New printers ink on paper, when in
contact with steam pipe, will quickly
ignite.
Boiled linseed oil and turpentine in
equal parts on cotton waste will ignite
in few hours under a mild heat.
Iron chips, filings or turnings should
not be stored in a shop in wooden box
es; the oily waste, which is not infre-
quently thrown among them, adds to
the danger of fire from this source.
The sweepings from the machine
shop if kept on hand should never be
placed over iron shavings this mass of
disintegrated iron is enough to incite
heat and combustion.
Iron and steel filings and turnings,
when mixed with oil, ignite spontan-
eously after becoming carbonzed.

There fires were due to carlessness
and easily preventable causes.
Regrettable as this needless waste of
property is, sadder still is Wisconsin
record of lives lost and bodily injuries
in fires.
According to newspaper accounts, in
1918, 46 persons died and 81 were in
jured in fires in this state.
When you consider these sad facts,
your carlessness becomes criminal care
lessness.
Win those dear to you be the next to
be offered as sacrifice on the alter of
carelessness? Then will you be haunted
the rest of your days.
Before heating fires are again start
ed, we urge fire chiefs and all citizens
to make thorough inspection of heat
ing plants and chimneys and to see to
it that all fire hazards are corrected
promptly.

ANOTHER NOGALES OIL co.

In today'S issue of THE BOR- DER VIDETTE appear the arti- cles of incorporation of Las Tres Hermanas Oil and Refining Company" organized under the laws of Arizona by the follow ing well known, prominent citi zens of Nogales, all of whom are successful, reliable business men: Senator James A. Harri- son, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, mem Der of the town council, and prominent in local financial circles; Mayor George H. Fiedler, County Assessor Victor J. Wager, Town Clerk Frank E. Cole, and Mir. R. H. Stevenson, well known in busi- ness circles.
 The gentlemen have organiz- ed their .company for the pur- pose of financing and develop ing valuable oil lands recently secured by Mayor Fiedler and Senator Harrison when they visited San Antonio, Texas, near which city are wonderful pro ducing oil wells.
 The property owned by the new corporation is in a proven field, with producing wells very close, and it is the intention of the organizers to shortly con- mence drilling, with the chances of developing oil in paying quan- titles, at nominal cost, mighty good.
 MT. Investor, if you invest money with Las Tres Herman as Oil and Refining Company, of Nogales, you are sure of getting square deal from your own home folks.
