PREVENTION WEEK
OBSERVED IN SCHOOLS

In accordance with the proclama-
ton by Governor George S. Silzer,
every school in this city is this week
participating in the observance of
Gre prevention week, being held from
October 7-13.
At the various schools extra fire
drills are being held this week in
connection with the regular drills,
and the children at a set period dur
ing the day are given talks by the
teachers in their respective classes
on the prevention of fire and the de-
struction of the evil.
Some of the talks given the chill
dren were based on the unnecessary
huge tribute rendered to flames every
day, and every child was urged to
do all in his power to better the evil
conditions created by the excessive
fire waste in this city and the state
every year. They were told that a
great deal of good could be done by
thenh in the way of preventing fires,
by beginning at their homes and re-
moving old rubbish and other COM
moh hazards that might invite the
Pa evil:
: @At O. few of the schools short pro-
rams of entertainment. illustrating
various means, preventing fires were
presented by the children, while in
most places the lectures were given.
Every year $1,000 lives are lost and
1921, $50, 900 worth of material de-
stroyed by fire, the children were
told, and probably half of this is
lue to carelessness.
1t was shown to the pupils that
IN eetimate report shows that $500
Tres break out in the United States
avery twenty-four hours. Everyone
Df these fires, it a explained, is
caused by some improper condition,
usually one which is the result of
negligence, and which can be re-
moved with little or no difficulty.
They were urged to do away with all
possible causes of fires about their
homes and the school buildings.

wheat set by the government would
only ~aggravate the farmers burden,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace said
to delegates to the seventeenth annual
session of the international congress.
TO buy and hold the surplus grain
would be harder on the specialized
grain farmer than the price condition
that now exists, for next year and
every year there would be n surplus"
he said. "Hencc, TO buy the surplus
one year only postpones the situation

bandits held up Southern Pacific
southbound passenger and mail train
No. 10, at - 40 O'Clock last Thursday
afternoon, shot and killed three train
men, blew open the mail car and a
safe, killing a mail clerk and escaped
into the mountains with an unknown
amount of loot.
The robbery occurred as the train,
the crack Southern Pacific San Fran
cisco express, was emerging from tun-
mel No. IS, south of Siskiyou, of the
state line, II miles south of Ashland,
oregon. The engine was about 40
feet south of the tunnel entrance when

roof of the tunnel and caused il to
cave in on the train.

train to a halt, the robbers advanced
to the locomotive and shot the en-
g%ineer, fireman and another man who
was said to have been riding with
them.

car and blew open the door with a
charge of dynamite, which ripped a
gaping hole in the side of the convey

sion is believed. to have caused the
death of Mail Clerk Edwards, the only
occupant.
