FARM FIRES ARE PREVENTABLE-
TAKE HEAVY TOLL OF. SAVINGS
OF 900 Farm Fires Recent Year
Gould Have Been Prevented by Use of Ordinary
Care and Forethough

Every time there is a fire on a
farm it takes away value that never
can be replaced. Either the owner
must be deprived of what may have
! been the fruits of 20 of the best
years of his life, or the insurance
company will be called upon for a
check, which has to come out of the
premiums paid by himself and other
property owners.
If there are. many fires, the insur-
ance rates increase. In mutual COM
panies, which carry large proper
tion of farm insurance, the increase
is Immediately felt. In q recent year
there were more than $4,000 farm
fires in the United States, entailing
loss of more than $18,000,0 of
which 33 per cent was held to have
been preventable.
Prevention of fires was made a
special subject of consideration in
churches, schools, public gatherings,
and farm organizations for an en-
tire week this October. The farmer,
with the accumulation of many years
tied up in his buildings, may well
week. According to the United
practically every fire is preventable
except those caused by lightning or
of incendiary origin. Even when the
best preventive measures fail and
fires break out, preparatory meas
ures will put the farmer and his
neighbors in better shape to subdue
it.
Every fire must have an initial
flame, whether it be from carlessly
thrown matches or cigarette, an ex-
plosion or kerosene or gasoline, an
explosion of graindust in a threshing
machine, or sparks from sooty
chimney or passing engine. Matches
never should be left loose or within
the reach of children. Put them in
noncombustible containers and have
pocket match safe. Better yet, use
safety matches, which can be scratch
ed only on the box.
Smoking never should be permit
ted around the barn or in the vicini-
tv of infiammable matter. Matches
cigar or cigarette stubs never should
be thrown where they can do harm.
Kerosene and gasoline are useful
servants, but destructive when let
loose.
They should be rigidly confined and
never allow to mix or change places.
Kerosene lamps shoul5 be solid of
base to prevent tipping over If they
are Of metal, there is no danger of
their breaking and spilling oil. The
wick should fit tightly to prevent va
por from the bowl reaching the flame
and igniting. They never should be
filed in the presence of an open
flame
Gasoline cans should be easily dis
tinguishable from kerosene cans. II
is better to store the gasoline in a
buried tank At least the tank shouts
be away from buildings. Vapor new
er should be allowed to escape in a
close room or where there is any fire.
Overheated stoves and fires cause
many fires. Chimneys should be
built from the ground if possible,

and should not be attached to any of
! the framework of the building so
there can be uneven settling. They
should be clear of the woodwork and
should always be kept clear Of SCOT.
Stovepipes should never pass thru
inaccessible places like a closet or
garret If they must pass through
the wall, see that the stovepipe hole
is provided with a good "thimt,e."
Where walls and chimneys are near
the pipe cover them with metal or
asbestos. Every stove should have
piece of sheet metal under il TO pro-
tect the floor from hot ashes and
live Goals.
Never leave inflammable rubbish
near buildings. Remove it. If il
must be burned, pile it in small piles
so the blaze never can get out Of
control. 1t is best not to have the
children near the fire. This is per-
haps har, ship. At least they can
be kept from playing with the fire.
In spite of spark arrester laws,
engine sparkle may fly on the roof or
intc dry grass or the farm wood lot.
If there is a railroad running thru
the farm, keep a strip next to the
right of way clear Of brush and in
fiammable material and plow few
furrows as fire break. Shingle
roofs are combustible, but. are likely
to remain in use. Shingles may be
rendered fire retardant by the appli-
cation Of paint containing metallic
forates. The method of application
is important. 1t is considered good
practice to apply the paint to APP
proximate,y three-fourths of both
sides before laying the shingle. This
process will not prevent shingles
from glowing or charring in case
of fire. but it will prevent their
bursting into flame.
When new buildings are to be con-
structed proper spacing and the lib
! eral use of concrete and masonwork
will reduce fire liability. Smoke
houses should never be built so that
hot Goals can start blaze. Hot
ashes. never should be dumped in in
fiammable reoeptacles.
In the way Of providing fire fight
ing equipment much can be done
without great outlay. Barrels Of
water on the roof and pals of water
kept STAN ing in convenient places
will possibly save disastrous loss. II
there is an elevated tank or a force
pump, nose connection VIII Dt
found invaluable in time of need. A
ladder that Will reach the roof should
always be available for immediate
use.
Sand shoulr be kept handy to
throw on gasoline and oil fires; water
only scatters them. There are num-
Der of simple chemical extinguishers
on the market, some commercial ard
some homema e.
With the present widespread use of
automobiles, rural fire company
equipped either with motor pump or
large chemical extinguisher, or both
can be easily organized and equipped
Every farm fire suggests preventive
and protective measures that should
have been provided. Take a little
time and proviie them in advance.

Obituary-Mrs. Berilla Shively

Respectively inscribed to Mrs. Fred
McCue and relatives. Berilla Rose,
born, September %, 1845, died Oc-
tober IL, 1921. Married to Peter j.
Shively, 1866. A noble history was
interviewer in this life just closed up
on earth, and just opened up in heav-
en-. She bore in her heart the true
devotion Of motherhood, eight chill
dren having come to this union. With
the passing of their mother those left
TO honor her memory are: Mrs. Villa
McCue, Belding; Mrs. Emma Miller,
Portland; Mrs. Ida Erridge, Ionia.
She bestowed upon her many friends
that priceless love too rich TO be es-
timated. And in the hour of disso-
luton she has entered into that per-
feet rest and her works do follow.
She was a devout Christian and was
child of the King. Her every cay
life was an illustration of what
Christ enthroned. She sought and
found her Savior in early childhood
and has ever since lived that true
Christian life.
Though sad was the call,
OF her so. dearly loved by all,
Our loss is great, we'll not complain
But trust in God to meet again.
Sometime, somewhere, our eyes
shall see,
The one we loved so well,
Sometime our hands will clasp in
hers,
And wei never say farewell.
A friend.

Visited Fox Farm

The writer was one of party
which went over to Muskegon, SUM-
day and visited the fine fox farm OF
A. l.. Williams. Both Mr.. Williams
and the caretaker, Mr.. Samuel Hume
were, we found. excellent fellows and
were very glad to show us all over
the farm. show us the animals and
tell us all about their habits, care
and other interesting matters per.
tanning to the fox farming indus
trv. Mr. Williams has about 200
of the beautiful silver-black animals
on the farm at present and is con-
sidered one of the most successful
fox men in the country. His care
taker, Mr. Hume, came from Prince
Edward island and is man who
has had extensive experience in the
industry. Belding people would find
that they could spend hour pro-
fitably while in the vicinity of Mus
kegon, to call at the Williams fox
farm and have the pleasure of being
shown over the place.

PHlLATHEA CLASS NOTES
N. {. SUNDAY SCHOOL

On Tuesday evening, October IL,
the Philathea class of the M. f. Sun
day school met, forty-six strong, and
enjoyed delightful banquet together
in the dining room of the church. The
room was tastefully decorated with
autumn branches and the Philathea
colors-blue and white. During the
singing Of praise God from Whom
all Blessings Flow, the lights were
turned out. the only light coming
from ten blue shaded candles on the
tables. The five tables were so ar
ranged that the girls were fairly
close together and the good cheer and
fellowship were expressed by, sing
ing and laughter "between courses,
and pleasant conversation all the
time.
Much of the success and pleasure
of the banquet was due to the mem
bers of the Dorcas class, who served
so delightfully."-. After the banquet
was over the girls remained at the
tables TO play a "get acquainted"
game which caused much knitting of
brows and a great deal of fun. At
the close of the game it was nearly
time to disperse, but all went up
stairs to the Sunday school room and
participated in an impromptu pro-
gram which was designed for fun
rather than instruction. One of the
laughter provoking stunts was an
unexpected one. Three Baraca boys
who had "stuck around" to be of
service land otherwise) appeared on
the platform in a juvenile act with
an express wagon. OF course, we
had to pretend that they were in the
way, even though our pretentions
were belied by our cheers.
The Philatheas are just beginning
a contest-not with another class in
our own Sunday school, or city, but
with all the classes in the United
States who are using the same quar-
terly we are-"The Young Ladies'
Class. If we win it will mean not
only money in our treasury, but bet
ter still, a good attendance for six or
eight weeks, studied lessons by all,
and all taking part in the discussions
during the recitation period, on SUM-
day. 1t is vastly worth while. Last
Sunday we had an attendance of 80
girls. We want at least fifty. If
you are not in Sunday school any
where, girls, you are welcome.
