Too Many Fires In
State Rural Areas
Are Out Of Proportion To Size
OF Population

Fires in rural areas are out of
proportion to the size of rural
population. About One-third of all
deaths from fires occur in rural
areas. and between One-siXth and.
one-eighth of the population of our
country lives in these areas, says
William II. Henderson, County Ag-
ent.
About 1000 farm people died in
fires last year, and most of them
died because of human careless
ness. Ninety percent Of all farm
fires can be traced to eight care
less habits:
% Failure to protect buildings
with lightning rods.
(2) Defective, sooty and poorly
built chimneys.

sat up straight in the chair. and
he suddenly realized that she was
tense and trembling.
And when she sank back in the
chair again little moan escaped
her lips I'm so tired" she
said in a faint voice. rs
Johnny Saxon came quickly to
his feet. bent down and gently
touched Irene Smiths shoulder.

you'd better go to your room

She nodded. There was a
trancelike manner about her
again.
He took her arm as the~ moved
toward the library doorway. She
walked somewhat stiff1y and re-
gally, and he wondered what ii
was that made her do this.
Inside the living room he saw
her daughter Kay talking to burly
Nick Walker and Nancy England.
Irene's gaze passed over them
as though they were complete
strangers.
Walker and Nancy England just
stood there, watching, saying
nothing.
"I'm taking ah Marie to
her room," said Johnny motion
ing for Kay to follow.
He saw Kay nod her head as he
and Irene passed toward the hall
way. Going up the stairs the wo-
man did not speak. She moved
with deliberate steps, turned right
at the second floor and followed
the hallway around to the right
wing of the big house. Johnny
Was beginning to have the feeling
of accompanying a sleepwalker.
But at least she knew the loca-
ton of her room. 1t was at the
end of the. wing, facing on the
same court on the opposite of
which was the Investigators own
room.
Irene continued right into her
bedroom, not pausing to say any
thing, not bidding him goodnight.
He thought perhaps she expected
him to come in. Maybe she
thought this guy Bart" was her
husband or somethingl He was
somewhat confused.
Coming up behind him, moving
quietly down the. carpeted hall,
Kay said softly. "I'll take care of
her. She has an idea Pm one Of
the nurses here"

of DR.. Wagner and Rollins an
nounced settlement of the $100, 900
suit and said both parties agreed
neither would issue other state
mentS about the controversy. The
joint statement indicated another
! suit DR.. Wagner filed against II
trustees for half million dollars
would also be settled.
DR.. Wagner's statement, made
after his joint statement with Roll
Inns was issued, said letter given
him by Winthrop Bancroft, Jack

of the faculty staff and board have
withdrawn from the college or

down."

Mexican said Wagner and the col.
lege in their signed Joint statement
agreed neither of the parties will
otherwise attempt to publicize sOr
issue statements to the press with
respect to the matters heretofore
in controversy. For my part" Nc

suit against the college were re-
vealed Monday for the first time.
1t was filed 10 days EARLIER but
papers were withdrawn from court
records before newsmen saw them,

along the grass bordering the

Looking for a rifle.
