Guard Against
Fire On The
Fourth

"Please ask the people of Ell
Centre to cooperate with the fire
and police departments over the
Fourth of July holiday, in keep
ing FL Centre free from fires,
was the request made to the
Press today by Chief Ferguson,
of the fire department.
Due to the two day holiday,
many of the firemen will be out
of the city, though a suffi-
cient crew will be kept on duty
to take care Of the city, the chief
said. AS many property owners
will also be absent from the city,
and the use of fireworks in
Fourth of July celebrations is
the cause of many blazes, it is
up to the people who remain in
the city to be as careful as they
possibly can be, the chief said,
in order to prevent any dis
astrous fire.
With many buildings construct
ed of very inflammable material,
there is always danger of q fire
spreading, the fire chief pointed
out, and the welfare of the city
and of its citizens is sufficient
cause for asking maximum of
care over the holiday period.

Lieut.. Wade, &. S.
World Flyer, Is
o. Local Visitor

Lieutcnant Leigh Wade, one of
the six immortal American aviators
who flew around the world last
year, was an overnight visitor in
FL Centre, arriving here last night,
and departing this morning at >
o clock.
This time the famous arman is
travelling on land, being on the last
leg of Il trip across the United
States, from New York to Los An
geles, which was made for the pur-
pose Of mapping ont a route and
making preparations for a nonstop
drive of Packard car from Los An
geles to New York. during which
time the engine of the Packard will
be i'll operation all the time, and
the wheels will not take any but Il
forward motion.
Accompanying the lieutenant on
his trip are Mr., and Mrs. Linton
Wells and their two children. Wells
is no stranger to FL Centre, having
been editor of the Imperial Valley
Press for three months in 1916, when
the paper passed from the control of
+. +. Howe to w. F. Holt.
First intimation that the party
were to come to FL Centre. was re
ceived yesterday afternoon by Cass
and Morgan, local agents for the
Packard car, to whom Lieutenant
Wade sent Il telegram from Phoe-
nix, asking that reservations be
made for him at the Barbara
Worth hotel.
As the telegram advised that he
would arrive here between s and 9
clock last might, Jim CasS decided
to 90 out to meet him. Accompani-
ed by representative of the Press,
he drove out past Holtville. and
short distance east of the High
Line canal, the big Packard was
picked up. Following introductions,
Wells, who was riding with Lieu
tenant Wade, very courtcouslv sug-
gested that the Press man ride into
FL Centre with Lieutenant Wade.
whlle he accompanied CaSs. This
gave opportunity to ask the flier
plenty of questions, and they were
asked all the way into this city.

said. is his own idea Of taking n

bad Luck"

Fire, great friend and . great
enemy of mankind, dealt Il particu
larly disastrous blow to an FL Cen.
tro family yesterday, when the home
OF Il. II. Arnold at 7G0 Len Rev
avenue was completely destroyed,
together with all the furniture, and
the entire resources of the family
were obliterated by the devouring
flames.
The home Of b. Morris, adjoining
the Arnold house, was partially
burned, the firemen managing to
save the greater part 5ff il, to-
2ether with the major portion of the
contents.
When the flames had finished
their work, Arnold and his three
mothcrless girls, one of whom is in
poor health, were left homeless. In
addition, the sick girl had been
painfully though not seriously burn
ed by attempting to put out the
flames and save their possessions.
The fire was caused bv an ex-
pioding oil stove, and before the
oldest girl and her sister could make
any move to extinguish it. the
flames, fed by the fuel from the
stove, spread over the house. com.
pletely enveloping it. The fire de-
partmcnt made a quick run to the
scene, but the Arnold house was
doomed before they got there. They.
therefore directed their efforts to
saving the Morris home.

moved to a position in front of the
house, where it caught fire, and was
badly damaged before the firemen
directed a stream on it.
