Granny Chartered.
"And I thought, finished
Tom, that since Santa flies
maybe he has seen one and can
tell me what it is"
Granny drew back and chat
tered some more with the other
witches. Then she said, ''No
need to go to Santa Claus. We
have seen these flying saucers.
If you want to know the truth
they are putting us out of bust
ness. People are no longer
afraid of witches. They are
afraid of saucers.
"What is more they are fright
ening us. Why, only last night
one of our witches was chased
clear out of the sky by one of
the things. What will happen If
we can't fly any more or f1ighten

. Two big tears formed on
Granny's eyes and rolled down
the deep lines of her face. Tom
felt sorry for her. But he was

Granny. ''I'll show you"

Winter Increases
Danger OF Fire
In Farm Buildings

Farm fires-estipated to cost over
5000 lives and abbut s142 million
this year = present their gravest
threat in the winter.
This fact is borne out in a survey
conducted in one mid-western state,
showing that although there are over
10 buildings ON the average farm ia
that state, GA per cent of the dam
age by fire is to the dwelling, and
over rs per cent of dwelling fires
We're caused by flues and heating
systems, or sparks on roofs - both
winter hazards
To protect your farm against fire
this winter. the National Board of
Fire Underwriters suggest the fol-
lowing principal precautions:
/. If your roof is shingled with
wood, be sure the shingles are in
good condition. and that there are
spark arresters on your chimneys.
2. See that chimneys are in good
condition. Every fall, they should be
inspected, particularly at the roof
line, and cleaned, Repair cracks with
cement mortar. Entry into the attic
is necessary for thorough inspec-
tion job.
| 3. Stoves, furnaces, ranges and
fireplaees should be kept clean. Fur
naces and wood stoves should be at
least Is inches from walls, beams or
woodwork unless the latter are prop
erly insulated. lStovepipes should MT
run through attics or concealed
spaces. A stovepipe which runs
through combustible partition
should be equipped with a double
metal ventilated thimble a foot
larger in diameter than the pipe.
II 4. Fireplaces should be equipped
: with sturdy metal screens.
5. Keep portable oil heaters on ;
: level surface, away from furniture
) draperies and other combustibies
) Never fill one while it is lighted
4 Keep the fuel supply outdoors ans
) refill heaters there. When one i
e burning, keep window or dooo
slightly open to provide an adequat
