FIRE LOSSES ENORMOUS

Fire losses take a heavy toll from industries every year. It is mis- taken idea to think that insurance companies pay these losses. The peo- pie pay. Reinsurance companies act merely as a distributor or clearing house, collect premiums on policies and disburse these premiums for fire losses and operating expenses. The lower fire losses can be brought, the lower premiums can be charged. The insurance company prevents the Joss falling on an individual or industry as a crushing financial burden.
 Take the timber industry alone.
 Figures presented at the annual meeting of Western Forestry & Con- servatioh Association at Portland Ore, show nearly two billion feet of standing timber killed in 1918, the worst fire season since 1910, entailed a loss of $6,500,000 to Pacific Coast states and is only one item of fire waste.
 F. T. Allen, of the association, in the interest of fire protective work, is urging increase in federal appropria- tion under Weeks law from $100,000 to s500,0O0, as the $100,000 is now no longer sufficient to cover the addi- tional states which have qualified un- der the act
 The dry season is coming on and every person should make it a point to help cut down our terrible fire wastage.

SEEKS BETTER WORK
 IN STATE DEPARTMENTS

PHOENIX, May 21.-At the first of a series of conferences of heads of departments directly under the gover- nor's control, steps were taken to re- duce the cost of administering these branches of the states activity, it was announced tonight at the governors office.
 ,"The idea of these conferences" said Governor Campbell, lis by frank criticism by the different department tai heads of each others work to cut down expenses to the absolute mini mann and at the same time give the state the best possible service"
 Verbal reports, backed by his own personal investigation, revealed, said the governor, that all the institutions under his direction are being ably ad- ministered.
 During the conference the affairs of each institution order in the depart ment were taken in turn and when each spokesman had given an account of his stewardship, he was lombard ed with questions and subjected to a constructive criticism.
 The governor denied that there was any political significance attached to the gathering, adding that it was sim- ply called in an effort to give the people better service for their money.
 The institutions and departments represented at the conference were:
 State hospital for the insane, state superintendent of health, commission of state institutions, state engineer, superintendent of prisons, industrial school, game warden, state sealer, live stock commission, sheep sanitary board, pioneers home, northern Ari- zona Normal school, state veterinari- an, state examiner, state fair com mission.

 Good Barn for Average Farm.
 On the average farm, however, not such great number of live stock are kept as to require large barn. The building shown in the accompanying illustration Is designed to house four horses and seven cows and to provide storage space for their winters supply of feed. This gambrel-roofed barn will meet the requirements of a ma jority of farmers. The floor plan shows how the stalls are placed in the two compartments, it now being re- quired in many states that milk-pro- ducing cows be separated by closed wall from the horse barn. as the am- monia fumes in the latter c0ntaminate the milk.
 The animals all face in. allowing the sunshine from the windows to strike the litter alley and gutter. and to keep the bright light out of the eyes of the cows and horses. It was observed by students of live stock that both cows and horses In the pasture always turn

PHOENIX, May 2S.--As a part of a nationwide campaign for keeping fit," Dr. George Goodrich, state super intendent of health, is arranging for a series of sex hygiene lectures to be given all high school boys in Arizona.
 General cooperation on the part of high school principals has been pledg- ed in the work, which has the approval of Rupert Blue, surgean general of the U. S. army. The lectures will be aug mented with the display of charts and slides.
 A letter was sent to w. D. Thomas, secretary of the Fl Paso Y. M. c.

 The word "barn" brings to the mind of everyone who lived on the farm more than ten years ago building in which the first and last work of the day was performed amid a variety of Odors and in partial or total darkness. But a barn to the modern business farmer means a clean. well-lighted and ventilated home for his live stock-a place in which the work of caring for the animals can be performed with comparative comfort and in much less time than 1t formerly took.
 Barn construction has made greater progress than building of any other sort. And great deal of this prog ress has been brought about by the h.

their backs to the sun. So this has become an accepted practice In barn planning.
 Through the center of the barn runs the feed alley, the managers being on either side. Contrast this with the old system of having to carry feed around the horse or COW to the manager built against the wall. On either side of the barn Is litter alley, usually pro vided with carrier running on an overhead track. While this barn Is only 30 by 40 feet the same plan can be used on a larger barn, with the ex- ception that the feed alley will be made wide enough so that a wagon may be driven through it, and when larger numbers of cows are kept a silo will be added.
 In the floor plan that accompanies the perspective of the barn 1t will be noticed that the foul air fiues are placed in the walls and lead to the ventilator on the ridge. These flues follow the walls and roof, thus making the now space clear of Instructions.
 Hanging the barn doors has engaged the attention of the manufacturers of barn equipment during the last few years and nowadays they are so hung that they open as easily as the door in home. An enclosed track, wealth CT and bird proof, is put over the door and ball-bearing wheels follow 1t.
 Care in Planning Necessary.
 Competent builders In every com munity now are familiar with modern barn construction. They know how the barn should be built so that the greatest profit may be made from the live stock 1t houses. The prospective barn builder should exercise as much care In planning this building as he would in erecting home. for on the plan depends whether or not he con- ducts his live stock business in the most efficient way.

vestigations made at the state experi- ment stations and the agricultural col leges. These investigations have prov en that COW or horse, or even hog, must have clean. well-lighted place In which fresh air can circulate freely in order to be healthy and in consequence as productive as possible.
 As result. the barns that are now erected are planned so that these fea- lures are included. Lack of water meant less milk, so running water Is now carried to each stall; cold barn had the additional effect of requiring a greater amount of feed, in order that the animal might be kept warm; lack of sunshine meant that the barn was breeding place for all sorts of dis

 The New York City national army men went forward a total of seventy one and half kilometers. The second regular division scored an advance of sixty kilometers and the Fifty-second CRainbow) division made gains total ing 55 kilometers.

as great as the need for homes. With wheat at $226 bushel and other grains in proportion. none of them will be wasted. And 1t is sheer waste to house the live stock In poorly con- structed barns, where they will require a greater amount of fuel in the shape of feed than they would in a tight barn, where water is available. There is no place where work can be so frightened on the farm as in the barn.
 In considering the care of live stock, the silo should be also considered. One-th!rd of the feed value of the corn Is In the stalk. To allow this feed to be lost Is another waste that should be eliminated. The silo provides the live stock with fresh nourishing food
