Mrs. Shedd Advocates Precautions
.'.gainst Fire and a I'all Clean-Up
Week
in view of the proclamation of
Governor Lister that October 30th.be
observed as Fire Prevention Day, and
because of the close relationship be
tween fire prevention and cleanli
ness and order, we hereby suggest
that the week prior to October 30 be
observed as "Fall Clean-Up Week";
that city and county papers, county-
commissioners, organizations of all
kinds, schools and churches through
out the state send out notices and
announcements to that effect, and
follow them up with efforts to insure
results.
Experts who are devoting their
lives to the study of lire causes and
prevention tell us they have estab
lished three facts which are of vital
concern to every housewife, and
should in consequence receive most
careful consideration:
First, that BO per cent of all fires
are due to preventable causes.
Second, unnecessary conditions
that are conducive to fire exist in 95
out of every 100.
Third, that it is a rare' exception
to find a dwelling equipped with
even the simplest fire protection.
Following are a few suggestions
apropos of Fire Prevention Day:
Fire prevention, like charity, be
gins at home.
Keep two six-quart pails, painted
red, or other extinguishers, in a con
venient place, and always in the same
place.
Safety versus sentiment. Old let
ters, papers of all kinds, rubbish and
dirt in your yards, corners, closets,
garrets, and cellars, through spontan
eous combustion, and otherwise,
help to start fires. To prohibit stor
age altogether is an extreme meas
ure, but is what the fire Inspector
would like to do.
Benzine, naphtha, and gasollc I
travel everywhere; and sink Instead
of rise. Use them, if you must, out
of doors always.
Smoking' is responsible for many
fires, but as wo can not eliminate the
cinoker, encourage care and total ab
stinence from the pernlciou. habit
of smoking ln bed.
Ashes and cinders should be kept
in metal cans.
Light Christmas trees with elec
tricity.
Put range on legs or cement floor.
Extreme caution with matches
should be observed.
A Few Don't*
Don't kindle fires with kerosene.
Don't burn leaves on windy days.
Don't allow lace curtains near gas
Jets.
Don't block hallways nor fire es
capes.
Don't forget to have chimneys
cleaned each year.
Excellent programs for Kir, Pre
vention Day, offering plenty of color
and music, may be secured from the
National Fire Prevention associa
tion, Boston.
The first municipal fire preven
tion club in the United States was or
ganized in Cincinnati, December 10,
1912, based on the belief that fire
protection and prevention are all
fundamentally one question, and
that citizens could gain much by ex
changing ideas and discussing the
general subject from various view
points.
Mr. Willard Done. Insurance com
missioner of Utah, says, "I am not
much of a juggler of words, but it
seems to me that a slogan of se
quence can be adopted in our fight
against the fire waste. This may
consist of five words equal in length
and similar in sound. The first foul
could represent the premises, the
last one the result or conclusion.
-The slogan would be: Indlgna
tion, Agitation, Education, Legisla
tion, Conservation.
"Each of the first four words rep
resents a stage in our progress and
the last the goal for which We are
striving. We have just reached the
first stage. There has been a
growing feeling of indignation on
the part of the American people, and
its growth is a splendid sign and
gives great promise. The only dif
ficult} is that popular indignation
Is sometimes evanescent, passing
away like the eruption of a geyser
and producing just about as much
effect.
"The indignation on this subject,
however, bids fair to be well-directed
and efficient. It Is directed by men
and organisations which are strong
and determined In the fight. They
are transforming this popular indig
nation into agitation for Improve
ment, for correction of evils, for ac
complishment Of definite and posi
tive results. This will ultimately
load to the third stage, popular edu
cation along lines of fire prevention.
An outgrowth of the education and
agitation, will be legislation; the
enactment of laws requiring better
building construction, greater care
of Inflammable material, greater
control over conflagration hazards.
The enactment of such laws and their
subsequent enforcement, which must
be a consequence of this educational
work, ought to bring as its ultimate
result the object we are striving for.
The slogan will not have served Its
purpose until all that we hope to
accomplish In conservation has been
accomplished."

SPLENDID RECORD
OF COLLEGE HERD
Won Many Prizes at Walla Walla,
and Hie Washington and Oregon
State Fairs
Wm. Hislop, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry, has made
his report of the winnings of the col
lege herd of beef cattle, which was
exhibited at the Walla Walla county
fair and the Washington and Oregon
state fairs. In commenting on the
results he says:
The record of winnings has a
double effect. It demonstrates to the
outside public that the cattle owned
by the State College of Washington
are worthy of a very high place in
open competition with other herds.
It shows the student body of this in
stitution that the college possesses
cattle which are worthy of their clos
est attention and scrutiny if they
would learn and profit thereby."
The record is a fine one. At Walla
Walla the college herd won eight
firsts, two seconds and one third, and
»
scored the senior champion and
junior and grand champion for the
Angus breed, and the junior and
grand champion for Galloways.
At the Washington state fair the
herd was awarded two firsts and four
seconds as well as the junior and
grand champion for Galloways, and
the junior and grand champion for
Herefords.
At the Oregon state fair the herd
carried off eight firsts, seven .sec
onds, one third and one fourth and
was given the junior champion for
Hereford yearling heifers; the junior
and grand champion for Angus heifer
calves and the junior and grand
champion for Galloway heifers.
This was the first time the college
has exhibited at the Oregon state fair
and the results are highly creditable
to the stock and to the herdsman
who fitted them, as the competition
was keen.
IN MEMORIAM

.Master has taken from our numbers
Sister Lena Yeo; and

Thirty-two Whitman county phy
sicians attended the meeting of the
County Medical society held last
Monday at Rosalia Pullman physi
cians were honored with the two
most important ofices in the gift of
the society, Dr. L. 0. Kimzey being
elected president tor the year 1916
and Dr. E. T. Patee being elected sec
retary-treasurer. Other officers
chosen were: Vice president, Dr. D.
Me In tyre of St. John; board of cen
sors, Dr. D. A. Angus of Rosalia, Dr.
R. S. Van Pelt of Maiden and Dr. Mcl
c. West of Rosalia.
Dr. L. G. Kimzey of Pullman gave
an Interesting discussion on "Frac
tures of the Head," and Dr. Joseph
Asprey of .Moscow. Idaho, dealt with
"Fractures of the Humerus." The
feature of the evening was an illus

REMONSTRATE AGAINST
IMPROVEMENT
Remonstrances from G. W. Reed
and Julia A. and Miles C. Moore
Tuesday evening supplemented the
remonstrances previously received
from the 0.-W. It. & N. company
against the proposed Improvement
of that part of Kamiaken street be
tween the 0.-W. R. & N. and N. P.
tracks, making a total of over two
thirds of the property owners who
have voiced their disapproval of the
improvement. The time set for hear
ing remonstrances passed several
weeks ago. and it is questionable
whether the belated objections will
be considered by jithe council, al
though the city fathers, in deference
to the remonstrators, continued the
time for calling for bids for the im
provement until the next meeting of.
the council. The 0.-W. R. &N. com
pany will lie asked to have a repre
sentative present at that time who
is in a position to say definitely just
what his company will do, and it is
probable that a compromise can be
reached. Two representatives of the
company were present Tuesday even
ing, but neither was vested with au
thority to make 'definite promises.

THE HEAD FACTS
So many exaggerated rumors have;
been circulated regarding the num
ber of the members of Charlie Stir
wait's threshing crew who contract
ed typhoid fever, that Mr. Stirewalt
desires to state the real facts. Six
of the men have suffered attacks of
typhoid, but two of the six did not
develop the disease until two weeks
after the machine had pulled in for
the season. As far as Mr. Stirewalt
knows, the crew did not drink any
water which is not being used by
the families where they were work
ing and in none of these families has
the disease manifested itself.
Our carload of Hunt's canned
fruit arrived Thursday. We will sell
full or assorted cases at the carload
price next week. Get a price list and
see our samples at Hungerford's.
