any flowing water at all should have
small dams put in them, both for the
purpose of obtaining water for fire
fighting purposes and for refuge in case
of general conflagration.
Peat lands and the grass and brush
are so dry now that ordinary trenching
is Of little value in fighting these fires
Water is about the only hope of making
these fires safe
There should be barrels or tanks Of
water available at ell farms or buildings
and even homes at the outskirts of
villages. Weather forecasts should be
observed very closely so as to learn of
the dangerous days. Any high wind Is
dangerous but the great disasters of
this state have always come with wind
from some westerly quarter.
1t is most important that all school
houses be properly Safeguarded If they
are not in amply cleared spaces and
that there be good fire guards around
the school houses with plenty Of water
for emergencies.
After the first killing frosts great
precautions should be taken in areas
where peat fires are burning in the
matter of transportation of children to
school on days of high dry winds.
With as much fire as there is now
burning, everyone is cautioned and
warned not to start any new fires. IF
the now existing fires do not spread
they may possibly have time to burn out
before the dangerous season of the
year approaches, but no chances should
be taken. The situation is now beyond
the control of the state fire prevention
forces. State and federal appropria-
tons have been reduced for fire pro-
lection. and funds available for fire
fighting are rapidly being depleted.
All local municipal authorities should
employ every resource they have in man
power, equipment or finances for check
ing and making safe any fires in their
communities.
full force Of rangers Is now on
duty and will do everything possible TO
assist people in danger. but it must
be remembered that each mans district
is large and that in case of disastrous
fire it IS going to be impossible for him
TO take care Of anything but a small
portion of his district.
Everyone is requested to make ample
preparations TO take care Of themselves.

The farmer from whom Reddy Fox

him they were merely relocated rob-
what he had intended to kill for him

they were just thieves. 1t didn't occur

the rabbits and grouse and ducks he
sometimes shot. They were simply

At first the farmer thought that he
had lost only one hen, but when he
had counted and recounted his flock
he knew that three were missing. He
had seen Mrs. Reddy running away
with one. How and where the two
others had been obtained he didn't
know. 1t was enough for him that
they were missing.

The yard gate was tied SO that it was
open just wide enough for a fox to

wind could not blow it wide open or

enough to place the trap a little below
the surface just inside the entrance. A
piece of white paper was laid over the
