San Antonio's Good Fire
Record Bars Increase,
by State.

Because Of its excellent fire record
San Antonio will not be affected BY
an increase in fire insurance rates
ranging from 3 TO Is per cent, an
nounced by the State Fire Insurance
Commission for a number Of Texas
cities Tuesday.
This was confirmed Tuesday by Fire
Chief ]. G. Sarran upon receipt OF
the announcement of Increases.
''San Antonio will continue to en-
JOY low insurance rates." Chief Sar-
ran said. 'sThe high ratio of losses
which caused the increase in a num-
Der of other Texas cities, is way above
our loss figures so We will not be af-
fected."
EQUALIZE RATES.
In ali cities and towns having a loss
ratio of 60 per cent and less than rs
per cent, the increase in rates will be
3 per cent, according to the commits
sion's ruling. An increase of 6 per
cent will prevail in cities or towns hav-
ing loss ratio Of 10 TO 81 per cent I:
per cent viii prevail where the loss
ratio Is so per cent and less than IS
per cent; 10 per cent where the loss
ratio 10 So per cent and less than 90
per cent and Is per cent where the
ratio is 90 per cent, this being the
maximum increase.
The action of the commission is the
result Of a hearing held on the propo-
sition on January 10 and its purpose.
as explained by Chief Sarran, is to
equali7e the rates in proportion to the
losses, throughout the state.
Heretofore North Texas had been
burning and South Texas paying for
IT," Chief Sarran said.
DALLAS AFFECTED.
While the commission failed 10 make
public the communities having bad
fire records for the last three years,
the Austin dispatch mentions Dallas,
Houston, Temple and Sulphur Springs
a. cities which may be affected By the
increase. Houston also is mentioned
az having had a bad fire record for
the last year.
The commission also announced re-
duetion in the key rate OF the town Of
Roby from % TO II cents. Specific
schedules were mailed out for seven
other towns but no change was made

S%HERIDANITES WANT
LIGHT WINES BEER
LITERALLY SIGNED PETITION
GOES TO WASHINGTON

Approximately 1000 people have
signed the petition being circulated
in Sheridan and vicinity, request
ing the Wyoming congressional del
egation to use its influence in con-
gress for the modification of the
Volstead act to the extent of per-
hitting the manufacture of light
wines and beer. This statement
is made by persons foremost in the
movement for modification.
1t is stated that 95 per. cent of
the people to whom the petition
has been presented affixed their
signatures and thereby enrolled in
the work of securing what they
contend will be remedial legislation.
1t is stated that only eight persons
who were approached on the sub
ject declined to sign the petition.
The paper is to be sen to the Wyo-
ming congressional delegation very
soon, it is stated.
Very little is known concerning
the origin of these petitions, furth-
er than the fact that the movement
is of national scope, and is being
largely signed. Many persons of
prominence in Sheridan have signed
the petition, and many who were
strong for the prohibition law.

THRIFT

] sing of thrift, that worthy trait
Which keeps one eye on cruel fate
And puts some provender away
For use upon the rainy day,
But in the miser's heart of ice,
The virtue thrift becomes a vice.
A fool is he who pleasure mad
Forgets that crops are sometimes
bad
And fails to save a little store
For times when want shall find
his door,
But still a greater fool, l vow,
is he who takes no pleasure now.
L cannot praise that sort of thrift,
Which gives no needy man n lift
Which starves the body and the soul
To reach some high financial goal.
And loves the shining yellow pelf
Not for its works, but for itself.
That sort of thrift which does NOT
give,
Forgets how brief the time we live
Fol at the last when death shall
call
Who saves it all shall lose it all.

Tilden and Vincent Richards will
be at their best for the Davis Cup
play, in his opinion, and it will be a
little too much for the Frenchmen,
especially as they are unaccustomed
to the heat of an American August.
BOrotra said that both Americans
were off stroke when he and Rene
LaCoste ousted them from the in

not be caught that way in the inter-
national team matches this week or
in the Davis Cup tournament.
