FARM FIRES HAVE
COMMON CAUSES

Farm fires in the United States
take about $500 lives and destroy
$100,000,000 worth of property each
year, says a recent United States de-
partment of agriculture publication.
Fires on Farms
Eighty-five per cent of this loss is
from such commonplace causes as de.
fective chimneys and flues; sparks
on combustible roofs, lightning; spon-
taneous combustion; careless use of
matches, smoking; careless use of gas
oline and kerosene; defective and i'm
properly installed stoves and furnaces;
faulty wiring; and misuse of electric
appliances.
Four simple precautions that the
author. Harry E. Roethe Of the bureau
Of chemistry and soils, gives to reduce
needless waste caused by farm fires
are: Use fire-resistant roofing, dispose
Of waste and rubbish, never use gas
oline or kerosene to start or revive q
fire, and guard against overheating Of
stoves and furnaces and clean smoke
pipes at least once year. He also sug-
gests that major buildings be equipped
with lightning rods.
In addition to moving the fire
hazards, Roethe suggests preparations
to fight a fire should one oeeur-that
is, fire fighting equipment on every
farm, kept in handy place ready Tor
instant use.

Farms,'' may be obtained by writing

COURAGE AND LOYALTY

Rumblings of a. n1utiny echoed
aboard the brig Somers, cruising the
Atlantic on a December morning in
1912. Discipline had broken down,
and Commander Alexander s. Nc
Kenzie was unaware of just how
many of his men could be depended
upon If the break should come.
Among those aboard was lone u.
8. Marine, Sergeant Michael S. Carly,
who was merely passenger on the
somers, and who lay desperately IN
in his hammock. When the disturbing
rumors reached him. Garty rose to his
feet and took his place beside MIS-
captain.
Garty and the loyal members OF
the crew gave their captain the moral
and physical support necessary to
suppress the mutiny. Once they had
regained control of the ship, three Of
the ringleaders we're promptly tried
and hanged.
Throughout the revolt, although be
was plainly suffering from a serious
malady, Sergeant Carly stood by the
captain, forgetting his illness until
peace and good order had been re-
stored aboard the Somers. Then he
reeled back to his hammock where he
lay completely exhausted from his e1-
ertions in the struggle.
So impressed was Commander Nc
Kenzie with the fortitude displayed
by Garty, that he wrote to the secret
ary of the navy, recommending that
the courageous marine sergeant be
advanced to the rank Of lieutenant
for his valof.
But Carly never rose from the
ranks. He disappeared from the
chronicles of the Marines as quietly
as he had returned to his sickbed
when the hour Of danger was over
His case, however, remains among tn
outstanding deeds Of valor in the LOG
of the o. 8. Marines.
