your County Judge
VITHEN you answer "the summons of death," the disposition of
all your property comes under the jurisdiction of the County
Judge. It is he you must trust to guard and protect the interests
and welfare of your loved ones. Vou have a personal interest in the
election of a County Judge who has had actual legal training and
experience in the practice of probate law, who is incorruptible, fear
less, and yet whose "heart beats in human sympathy," and who will
extend every kindness, courtesy and thoughtful consideration to your
dependent family when they appear in the County Court to settle
your estate, and who will protect their property interests according
to law.
Upon this basis, I respectfully and earnestly ask for your vote
at the coming election.

CURE FIRES ARE COSTLY
A smoldering cigarette butt, a
match dropped into a waste-paper
basket, an iron left heating on the
board, a discarded pile of dirty,
greasy rubbish, or endless other such
petty risks caused by carelessness,
may be the means of transforming a
home or factory or office building in
to a smoking ruin.
A large majority of homes have
fire hazards that can be removed
with a small amount of work or at
slight cost. Poor wiring, carelessly
handled heating and electrical de
vices and collections of rubbish are
among the common risks and account
for many serious conflagrations. The
danger lies in these everyday risks
being overlooked or disregarded

ACCIDENTS EXPENSIVE
While humanitarian reasons should
be sufficient to make accident reduc
tion an important factor in every
business organization, there is, in ad-'
dition. the fact that accidents cost'
industry approximately $5,000,000,
000 annually. i
An authority on the subject says
that 88 per cent of all industrial ac
cidents can be prevented through the
enforcement of proper safety rules
and that 10 per cent result from im
proper physical conditions in plants.
Unpreventable accidents constitute
only two per cent of the total. ,

Friedrichshafen, Germany, Nov. 1
Clarence Terhune, the irrepressi
ble 19-year-old American stowaway
on the air liner Graf Zeppelin, was
given a , triumphant reception by a
cheering crowd in Friedrichshafen'
today. j
Clarence was smuggled out of one
of the rear gondolas of the Zeppelin
into the custody of police soon after:
the dirigible had landed and was:
taken to the hotel apartment of John'
F. Koehl, American consul, where a I
long private talk was held. When
the young stowaway emerged from!
the hotel, cheering crowds raised him'
on their shoulders and paraded withj
him down the streets. j
Asked what he intended to do he:
replied that he must first look thru'
, his mail and then decide what tc
: do next. "I'm not worrying about
, the future." he said, adding that he
l did not intend to remain in Europe
. for any length of time. He expressed
j the hope that he would find an offer
; among the stack of mail and tele
grams awaiting him which will en
able him to return to the United
States as soon as possible.
j Well Treated Abroad.
Terhune said that he had always
, had a place to eat and plenty of
, food during the transatlantic pas
. sage but that he had no place tc
! sleep and had to lie down wherever
he could find a spot that wasn't be
! ing used. He was a "maid of al'
' work" aboard and was well treated
by the crew and passengers alike?
