Further consideration Of the Walsh

FIRE PREVENTION RULES.

Before starting the fires for the
winter. 1t Is important that careful at
tention be given to the chimneys and
flues, for IL they are neglected the en-
tire hcme may be reduced to few
charred embers merely because OF such
lack OF care. During the fire years
ending 1920. property valued in excess
of $12,000,0O0 was destroyed annually
as the result of defective chimneys and
flues. The larger part of this loss
could have been prevented If an In
spection had been made, scot cleaned
out, and the necessary repairs made
before the fire was built in the fall.
Oils and gasoline take their annual
toll Of destruction because someone
uses them carelessly or igncrantly.
Kerosene or gasoline 10 a dangerous
assistant when starting a fire in the
stove or furnace. OIL mops or rags Of
ten cause fires from spontaneous Conn.,
bustion. They should therefore be al
ways kept in metal containers.
Disorder and untidiness breed fires.
Careful attention should therefore be
given by the householder tc the re-
moval of all rubbish from cellars. at
tics and cupboards.
All open lights in home should be
properly protected. Care should be
taken that curtains or other inflamma-
BILE material can not blow into the
flame of the kerosene or gas light.
Screens should be placed in frcn. of
the open fire places so that no one can
accidentally get his clothes in contact
with the flame.
Lighted matches, cigar or cigarette
butts should be properly disposed CT.
Every individual owes 1t to himself,
his family and his neighbors to use
every means possible to remove the
causes Of fire In the hcme. He should
relaize that carel essness or thought
lessness on his part may not only de-
prive him of his property but cause
loss and suffering to others since q fire
rapidly spreads. The Householder
should therefore be constantly alert
and ever on the lookout for apparent
ly small things which may result in
a disaster involving the loss of home
and possibly of lives.

TWO DIE AT lsMAY FROM.
EATl2G CANNED C.a,
(Miles City star.)

(Mtles City St4f.I
SO closely following each other as
to indicate q startling coincidence. two
deaths. from the identical cause. rto.
maine poisoning, occurred 1t 1sn,ay
one on Monday and the other on Tues
day morning, when two OF the promi.
nent young residents Of the Cabin c, eel,
region, Ia Fallon county. passed ava,
after eating Of canned corn. according
ITO word received in Miles City.
The nrst death was that OF Miss
Pearl Walden. age 20, ana teacher Ct
the Cabin creek school. - miles north.
east OF Ismay in TallOn county. who
died at Ismay, where she was brought
on sunday for medical attention Her
condtttcn. however, WAS preca rie'us
and after making q brave fight. the
end. came Monday morning. less than
"a hours after she was brought to
Ismay.
Hardly had the news { the untimely
death Of Miss Walden been received
when the second message arrived tell
ing Of the demise at Ismay. also, OF
Adolph Nitschka. age -, . prominent
ana prosperous young rancher OF the
vicinity Of Cabin creek. within a few
hours after he had arrived at that
place for medical attention. and it is
reported that his death, like that OF
the young school teacher, wascaused
BY rtomaine poisoning, caused by eat
ing can Of corn.
Miss Walden. who is well known In
Custer county. having fought rural
schools in this county three years un-
til this term. had taken the Cabin creek
school in September. and made her
temporary home while teaching, in the
teacherage in the rear OF the school
house. The last time she was seen in
her usual good health was last Friday
afternoon, at the time school was dis
missed for the week end. Miss Walden
was not missed until Sunday, when
some boys of the region, playing about
the school. were attracted to the
teacherage by groans of someone in
agony. They promptly investigated
finding the young lady lying down,
and apparently suffering considerably
She was unable to talk, but wrote en-
a scrap OF paper that the boys should
send for help, and that she had heten
poisoned by eating canned corn.
Neighbors quickly came in answer
to the appeal. and found Miss Wal
den in precaricus condiaion. and as
soon as possible she was removed to
Ismay, where everything possible was
done to improve her condition. but to
nc avail. Miss Walden Is survived by
her parents. who are prominent ranch
ers of the knowlton community. %
miles southwest of Ismay. in Custer
county.

rious attack of ptoniaine poison which
he assumed was caused by canned corn
which he had eaten. has ranch in the
vicinity of Cabin creek, and was also
the owner of a threshing outfit. He
had just completed threshfng job
and was preparing to move to new
setting when stricken with the fatal
illness. His parents are well known in

NEW OIL POOLS MUST BE OPENED
UP TO MAINTAIN THE OIL SUPPLY

Data compiled by the American Pet
roleum Institute and submitted to the
senate committee en- manufactures, in
connection with the committees pet
rol cum inquiry. shows that while re-
cent declines in prices Of crude were
due to excess production and imports,
the continuity CT the crude oil supply
OF the country depends entirely upon
the discovery and development Of new
land important oil pools. In q state
n,ent to the committee. r. T.. Welch,
secretary Of the American Petroleum
Institute, said in part:
"Sfnce the first Of November, 1921.
the oil industry has been producing
and importing more oil than was con-
sumed in this cuntry or exported.
ut Is entirely possible, however,
II we have q sudden decline Of pro-
duction. or a sudden, rapid increase
of consumption. that the present oil
situation will reverse itself practic-
ally ever night.
1.-The oil business ~ a business Of
ups and downs. In June. 1929, the pro-
duction of oil in the id-Continent field
was at the rate of about $4,000 bar
res a day.
''Of this production. approximately
SAT 900 barrels per dayf or 81 per cent?
were coming from % pools, all Of which
were developed in the past two years.
"Seven recently developed pools out
of % mentioned We're alone contribut-
ing in June. $4,000 barrels per day
Cor nearly 40 per cent of the total) to
the current production ct the Mid
Continent field.
with the exception Of the two pools
referred to. all may be said to have
reached or passed ever their MAXI
mum production and may be expected
to decline with varying degrees Of ra-
pidity in the future.
"Of the two exceptions. one is prob
ably close to its maximum production
and the other is stiii largely an un-
known quantity.
1T seems reasonably apparent. in
view of the fact that during the past
few years the oil industry has davel-
oped large number of new and pro-
life pools. which will now dedine.
that the cntinuity of the supply will
be largely dependent upon the discov-
cry and developmeVt of new and ex-
tensive oil pools.'
