DEPARTMENT CHIEF WILL TALK
FIRE PREVENTION FROM TRUCK
AT HEAD OF CENTRAL AVENUE

to reach all classes of people, those
who are materially interested in fire
prevention because of property hold
ings and those who only have a pas
sive interest in prevention through q
vague sense of realization of what de-
struction follows in the wake of every
fire, that Chief Trodick will make
| open-air talks in the interest of fire
prevention.
Activities by the city fire depart
ment will be less spectacular than last
year., but it is hoped that in the main
they will be as educational and impress
sive. There will be no sensational run
by the department or parade Of fire
trucks and floats of business firms
But efforts will be made to reach in,
! dividually every person, both youth
and adult, with a square statement OF
the facts that the nation faces in re-
ducing its fire losses, Chief Trodick
said.
As an, entertainment and special fea-
ture, the chief has issued an open in
v~itation to girls between the ages OF
16 and 81 to climb the 50-foot upright
ladder from the fire truck at the head
of Central avenue. A so gold piece
will be placed in an envelope and tied
to the top rung of the ladder. The girI
must scale the ladder TO the top, &C
over the top and climb down the other
side.
The chief already has received one
application from a girl who. seeks the
! excelsior path of the fire ladder. Her
name was not revealed. 1t is planned
to get q different girl for each of the
three nights that the stunt will be
staged. To lessen the danger of the
climb, the girls must report TO Chief
Trodick at the central fire station and
receive instructions in the proper way
to climb a ladder.
1t takes not only nerve, but a knowl-
edge of ladder-climbing to scale a lad
der 90 feet in the air and go over the
top without a tumble, he said. The
loss of balance on the part of the
climber means a loss of balance on the
part of the firemen who are support.
ing the ladder, and a bad fall may re.
suit. So only expert ladder climbers
and girls with plenty of nerve are in.
vited to play the feminine leads in the
Understanding exhibitions.
The department will open its fire
prevention week Monday with tbs
wholesale distribution throughout the
city of handbills with fire ~precautior
suggestions. Twelve uniformed firemer
will make a house-to-house canvass Of
the city, distributing the handbills ant
meeting the residents of the city per.
sonally to answer any questions thai
may be troubling them regarding th'
proper action TO take in case of fire
A count by Chief Trodick has revealed
that there are $500 dwelling houses
in the city. If the canvass is not com.
pleted Monday, it will be continued
Tuesday. Business houses also will b.
visited by the chief and other mem
bers of the fire department.

Residents of the middle west are IN

Especially in the Twin Cities. the

While on his trip. Davidson studied
traffic regulation in the cities.
Conditions Better Here -.
Great Falls is, of course, better off
in traffic conditions than are the large
cities" he said. 1T is interesting. to
see. because of the discussion we had
last spring regarding parking regula-
ton. that in the cities there is only par
allel parking. They have ruled out en-
tirely the parking at an angle to the
curb. They find that they gain consider

States and other parts Of North Amer
ica:I in Montana. the disease was
worst in the vicinity of Billings.
State Makes Survey
The state health board employed q
woman to make a survey of the chill
dren crippled by the disease and later
extended the survey to include all Grip
pied children. The last report of the
commission showed so children in the
state cared for. In Great Falls, there
have been "a cases cared for. with "A
major operations, some OF the cases
having two or more such operations,
while others had no major operations.
Most are long drawn out cases, he
said, meaning from three TO four
months in the hospital. There are
many deformities of limbs to be cor
eected before they can be made to func-
ton. In Great Falls there has been
n failure in treatment, this being
& case of congenital ~dislooation.
The program was under the direction
of DR.. L. w. Crouch.

For three nights, beginning with

men and held perpendicular to the

the parts they play in the annual in
crease of the nations fire hazard, but
TO appeal to their INSTALLATION of the
cost, in dollars, through property loss
and in human life, of the fires that

With the tremendous publicity that
has been received by Montana as q
result of the visit last summer of the
members of the National Editorial as
sociation. Great Falls real estate men
now are taking the initiative in what
they hope later will be a state move
ment to make this publicity effective.
Under the present plans of the real
estate dealers as they will be acted
upon by the realty board, the organlza-
ton would place advertising in some
Of the newspapers of the east, where
the editors have run series of stories
on their western visit. The result of
this advance publicity has been to pre-
pare the people for actual advertising
by giving them a real conception of
the state and its possibilities, the real
estate men argue.
Greenfield Purposes Data
Data prepared by r. l.. Greenfield,
who gathered the information for the
realty board, shows that in not on
case was there any attempt to sell
visiting editors lands or to interest
them in the investments in western
property. The advance publicity given
by stories written by these visitors
also has been gathered and makes an
imposing appearance.
The advertising will be especially eff
fective at this time, according to real
estate dealers, since the state today
presents bargains that never before
have been offered. For a practica
farmer, with even q small capital, there
is the best chance for location on the
best dry land property or irrigated
lands, say the dealers.

FALLS REALTY men PLANNING +.
WAYS OF ADVERTISING STATE
Board Intends to Follow Up Publicity Resulting
From Editors Visit; Cite Many Chances
for Farmer to Own His Own Land.

Some of the bargains shown in n
survey of the real estate offices OF the
city show a 320-acre irrigated ranch
with buildings for $1,000; 200 acres OF
logged off land, all capable OF beng
irrigated. at s., 900; dry land farms in
good farming districts with but iittle
first payment demanded; a large cattle
ranch. with irrigated hay land ana
meadows, which will be sold to any ex-
perienced cattle man who will stock
it-no first payment nor interest Will
be charged the first year; tracts suit
able for truck gardening for a smail
first payment.
In addition to these there are any
number of opportunities for the man
who would buy lands. the chief require
ments in many cases being experience
in farming. enough capital to insure
development the first year, and OF a
character to be a good moral risk.
Discourage Land Leasing
Another important factor in the land
situation in the state, real estate men
saw. is that the Montana farmers have
been showing an increasing tendency to
rent their lands instead of purchasing
them. Many of the farmers are tax
ing tracts on the basis of a percentage
of the crop. From the point Of view
of the state welfare, this is unsatis-
actory, they argue, since the result is
that the farms are not built up MOI
permanent improvements made.
Should the plans of the Great rams
realty board prove successful, it is *
pected that the movement will spread
to include the realty men of the state
in a campaign advertising the states
possibilities.
