Uses. When word is pledged to do
something or meet certain appoint

point to another is not Of such dis

CAREFUL ABOUT FIRES

With an absence of moisture the
past several days conditions are be-
coming favorable for fires. 4 word
of caution against this most destruc-
tive of all elements is timely. Chill
dren should not be allowed to play
with matches and cigar and ciearet
smokers should he especially dilisent
in seeing that all fire hazards are de-
strOyed in the burning butts. The
old saying that "a stitch in time saves
nine may even have a broader mean
ing in fire prevention, with ratio
much larger. Dense weed underbrush
should be leveled and even fired to
destroy the menace. Accommodations
of papers and other rubbish should he
eliminated In fact take every pre-
caution against fire. 1t is the proper
kind of preparedness.

Why we are but half way, you and
