If you r a farmer make a sur
vey of your premises and note
the opportunities you are offering
the Fire Demon to get in his awful
work.
Are your chimneys solid and
we'll constructed? Are your heat
ing stoves too close to the walls?
Do the pipes enter the chimney
through we~ll-protected 1ue holes?
Are your roofs fire resistant?
Have you " examined the
chimneys where they go through
the attic to note their condition?
Is your cellar filled with rubbish
and an accumulation of burnab1eT
material? Do you keep kerosene,
gasoline or naphtha In the house?
Do you use kerosene OF gasoline
to start the fire in the kitchen
stove? Where do you keep the in
cubator? How about those old
rags you used the other day TO
clean the car? Are they thrown
carelessly into closet or closed
place where they might ignite by
spontaneous combustion? Where
do you place the hot ashes and
cinders from the stove or furnace?
Do you smoke? Are you careful
about disposing of your cigar and
cigarette stubs? Are matches kept
where small children car get
them? Do you store the car in
the barn on a floor strewn with
chaff and famable litter? Do You
use a lantern about the barn at
night without taking precautions
to keep it from oVerturning?
What would you do if a fire start
ed about your premises? Are you
equipped to fight it successfully?

terial with a heavy property los
as a result-in fact, the stor.
would run up and down the whole
gamut of human experience witt
fire.
A broken or improperly con
structed chimney is a constant
source of danger from fire. Com
bustible roofs may be easily ignit
ed by sparks from a chimney OF
by burning brands or embers from
exposure fires.
Using kerosene to start the fire
in the kitchen stove is extremely
dangerous. Many serious conflag'
rations with loss of life and prop
erty have resulted from the explo-
sions caused by this practice.
Lanterns carelessly used about the
barn may be upset or kicked over
by livestock. Damp hay or straw
may ignite spontaneously. I'm
rodded buildings T apt to be
struck by lightning.
Then there are matches. A
match, you know, has a head but
no brains. You have to think for
it. A cigarette is persistent in
carrying out it's purpose of burn
ing and making smoke, but it has
no conscience as to how, when or
where. Matches and cigarettes
have much to answer for In the
matter of destruction Of life and
PROPERTY. These T but a few of
the numerous hazards about every
farm.
At least once a year, and during
Fire Prevention Week is a good
time for this, every farmer should
take a little time and make an in
spection of his premises and re-
move as many of the fire hazards
as possible. The old adage Of an
ounce of prevention being worth
a pound of cure is a~ntiquated as
far as farm fires are concerned,
for prevention is better than cure.

STORY OF N PREVENTION WEEK

Fire Prevention Week is a week of education; it is the period in
which the effort is made to focus the attention of every man, woman
and child O the dangers to life and property which turks sin fires. and
the methods by which most fires al be prevented. But Fire Peven-
ton Week is more than just this. 1t is also a raly1ng point rom which
the people of America, completely aroused to Inconsistencies, should
sustain their interest throughout the year in the campaign against Fire.
On October 8, 1871, Mrs. OLearys o kicked W. a lantern1 IN a
barn and thus started the Great Chicago Fire. The cow has become
the symbol for the every day carelessness which must be curbed if the
country's disgraceful fire waste is to be restricted. The anniversary OF
that date is therefore set aside as Fire Prevention Week
Does Fire Affect You?
Last year nearly 500 million dollars worth of property was destroy
ed by fire n the United States. Does this fact interest you? Can yn
see how this loss effects either your freedom or your pocketbook? 1T
does both. You ire taxed to cover this loss. The portion of it you
individually pay is part of the cost of every loaf of bread, every pound
of meat, every pair OF shoes you buy. II you buy these things you pay
the tax. You cannot avoid it. You Ire taxed in this way because the
insurance companies % which you pay premiums distribute your money
and that of other prudent men among the careless people who have
fires If the carelessness of these people could be curbed you would
pay less money TO the insurance companies. Your baker, your butcher
and your tobacco man also pay insurance premiums and include them
in the price of their goods o that you pay their tax, too.
But more important than these financial matters is the fact that
burned to death about every half hour, usually a woman IT child. Have
you any right to tolerate conditions which promote such wholesale L
death and suffering? Can you morally refuse to devote your energy
to spreading the message of Fire Prevention Week? l.
Most fires can be prevented. The physical factors which cause :
and spread fires are understood. and they are gradually being controlled.
That is work upon which individuals should concentrate. +
That is your problem, the solution is in your hands, it is up to you to T.
do your part. l.
What to Do IL
Interest yourself first in your own premises. Clean up existing fire Z
hazards; instruct your family in the lessons which may some day save
into your community and spread the message of Fire Prevention Week
Work with your business and civic organizations and your fellow ctt L
zens to awaken the spirit that will make your community fre-safe.
Every individuals interest and effort counts in creating public opinion.

A SHORT ROAD TO THRIFT

Ben Franklin said: "a penny saved is a penny earned"
Then a house saved is a house earned. But how heavy the cost
to earn the house originally and heavy the loss if it is destroyed. And
how easy to earn it again by saving it from destruction by just a
little thought, precaution and acton-in time. Just a look at the smoke
fue. Just making certain that the match is out Just a warning and
a little instruction to others about this or that habit. And the house
is good for another ten years.
Fire prevention is a national effort by which all of u S benefit, not
one week but 81 All thrifty, keen-minded, public spirited citizens
will surely feel it a duty to cooperate in the work of preventing fires
of every sort. We are a carefree, careless, destructive people. It's
only common sense that we snap out of it and do a little thinking.
Most fires in the home II preventable. Just a little are is all
that is necessary to reduce the hazard. Every day, every hour, just
so many property owners will be caught in Fires trap Their prop
profits will be wiped out. Years of accumulation going up in sparks
erty will burn, their business will be observation-disclosures will stop.
and smoke. All this for the lack of a little thought. Stop right now!
Think, what a little ear means to your loved ones. Care is often
also thrift.

under supervision Of a warden or q

ally enough, but on large fires, any

ployed. The implements used are
axes, brush-hooks, shovels. rakes,

the latter Is the best means Of con-
