Precaution that Should be Taken
Fire palls are probably the oldest
method of extinguishing fires. They
are simple and always dependable if
kept filled and In their proper plac
es. They should be' placed on
shelves, hooks or floors and not used
for any other purpose. They should
be placed where fire Is most likely
to occur; and should be refilled once
a week. If left where they are lia
ble to freeze In winter, calcium
chloride should be put In the water.
It Is better than salt and does not
Injure metal like salt does
In the country it Is always advis
able to have a cask or barrel of
water for fire extinguishing purpos
es. The barrel should be a good one
and hold at least 50 gallons. Paint
ion It the words "For Fire Only" and
do not use It for any other purpose.
The barrel should be kept full of
water and covered. Fire palls should
be placed near It. Every home
should have a ladder that will reach
to the second story or roof. If all
these precautions were heeded many
flres could be extinguished in their
inclpiency. Farm fires are nearly
always total losses, but if all farm
ers would take all necessary precau
tions and equip their barns and
homes with good fir eextinguisbers.
palls, barrels and ladders they could
put a fire out quickly If discovered
In time.
Itubhlxli, WaHte and Other Danger
All material that In any way may
invite a fire should be cleared away.
The barn and other out buildings
should be kept clean and in good
condition. All old hay and straw
should be removed before storing
the new. New hay and straw should
be thoroughly dry before being put
in the mow. Barns and hay lofts
should be well ventialted. No oily
or greasy rags should be left lying
around after machinery and wagons
ve been greased and cleaned ud:
oily and greasy waste breeds spon
taneous combustion.
No Smoking Allowed In Damn
Out Buildings
Put up notices about your barns
and other buildings prohinitlng
smoking In or near the barn, hay
mows ,etc, and see that they are
heeded.
Never go into a barn with an open
light.
Burn all old rubbish and waste,
and do not allow It to accumulate on
your premises. Never start a bon
fire near buildings.
Don't keep gasoline engines or
gasoline in barns. Put them in sep
arate buildings made of galvanized
iron, stone or brick and build them
off away fro many other building.
Watch electric wiring in house
and barn and have it frequently Inspected.

Is doing.
In the educational work we never
let an opportunity pass when certain
facts and figures can be made pub-
He. Following that course we con-1
stantly remind the citizens of this
state of th eenormous lire waste of
the country, In excess of $260,000,-
000 a year, and we remind them of
the most uncomplimentary compari
son between the fire loss per capita
in this country and certain foreign
countries, for the figures show that
in a number of large foreign coun
tries the per capita fire loss varies
from only 30 to 60 cents per annum,
whinle in our country it rises to an
amount In excess of $2.50.
We apreciate that this is an old,
old story; that the people have
heard It many, many times before,
and that perhops they think it Is not
necessary to make reference to It
again, but the comparison is so
marked and the figures are so enor
mous that we must no tlet pass a
single oportunlty to bring ourselves
to a realization of this fire waste.

year more than $2,000,000 worth of'

1913 fire losses amounting to $1.-
715,676.10. This does not include
the country or farm losses, and per

you can readily see that the real fire
loss ln Nebraska last year will eas
ily reach more than $2,000,000.
