WILL BENEFIT ALL

RHINELANDER, Wis, Dec. 27:-
"Cities, towns and villages in nor
thern Wisconsin will show a greater
percentage of gain in population
during the present decade than
those of any other state or section
of the country if the people of nor-
thern Wisconsin will get together
effectively upon a general program
of ADVERTISING and development"
This is the belief of one of the best
known organization specialists in
America, a man whose advice the
Resort Association obtained before
launching its campaign to organize
the citizenship Of upper Wisconsin.
His viewpoint is that upper Wis
consin is a practically u~ndeveloped
country as compared with its possib-
ilities of development and that nee
the tide of immigration starts this
way in earnest, it will grow to enor-
nous proportions and will continue
for years under its own impetus.
Such has been the history of the
settling up states and sections OF
the country from its earliest days.

increased, with the chances of setting
roofs or woodwork in contact with
chimneys or woodwork too close to
smokepipes, on fire.
The preventive measures are SIM
pie. They are: Proper installa-
ton of furnaces with a good clear
ance above and on all sides, proper
clearance between smokepipes and
all woodwork not protected by metal
over asbestos board, removing wood
work in physical contact with CHM
neys, frequent cleaning of smoke
pipes and chimney iues, replacing
poor shingles with non-combustible
roof covering and careful manage
jment of furnace, draughts and
hampers.
In some. cases oil burning equip
ment is being installed with but little
attention to proper safeguarding.
The storage of a large quantity of
oil in the furnace room is of itself a
hazard. Another serious hhazard
Of many of these equipments is a
gravity feed to the burner instead OF
pump suction feed from under
ground storage tanks. Write us
before installing such equipments.
The portable oil stove has it's haz-
ards. Many fires are caused by fill
ing the reservoir while the wick is
burning; failure to keep the wick
and burner clean has caused others.
Often these oil stoves are placed too
close to woodwork, curtains beds or
other combustible house furnishings
Improperly fitting and defective
wicks sometimes cause fires. Flimsy
construction causes the upper and
lower section to separate in carry
ing, resulting in fire.
Portable gas and electric heaters
must be placed at a safe distance
from woodwork or combustible ma
~terials. The rubber gas tube is a
serious hazard. Iron pipe. connec-
ton is the safest. Where the gas
heater is used only a short time, it
may be connected with the flexible
tubing of the armored kind. The
shut-off should be at the pipe to
which the flexible tubing is attach
ed, not at the heater.
Operating. electric heaters from a
lighting circuit often overloads the
wires. For extensive use of electric
heaters, a special circuit should be
provided.
1t is always better to be safe
than sorry.

FUEL SHORTAGE
FIRE HAZARDS

The scarcity of coal, particularly
a%nthracite; in Wisconsin,, has led to
a more extensive use of soft coal,
kerosene, gas and electric heaters.
The use of these substitute fuels and
heating devices has seriously in
creased the fire hazard.
Soft coal stored in large quaint
ties is subject to spontaneous igni-
ton. Storage of this fuel neal fur
naces. or in wooden bins should be
avoided.
The soft coal burns more freely
than hard coal and liberates a large
amount of gas and SCOT to clog and
injure f1ues and chimneys. The
liability of chimnty fires is greatly
