Four Outbreaks of Grass Fires PageRural Firemen Kept Busy PAGE—Four small outbreaks of fire have alerted residents to the fact that the country is tinder dry, I and it is quite possible to trans form a spark into a blaze that quickly becomes a fiery furnace Friday's call was to the Ken neth Heiss farm where a passer- j by saw the fire and reported it to ; a neighbor. Shucks and trash had been burned in the forenoon for a clean spot to pile corn. The fire was supposed to be “out”. Three tires on a nearby tractor were ruined with about $100 damage, Monday the rural firemen were summoned to the Ervin Mosel farm where some shucks became ignited in the cornfield where Mr. Mosel was picking com. Wiring on the tractor was burned and there was little other damage. Tuesday's fire was a grass blaze at the Roy Grubbs farm where Mrs. Grubbs was burning trash. The blaze got away from her. The Ash Grove ladies, who cleaned up after their bazaar, dis cussed the advisibility of burning their trash and decided if they took the trash to the middle of the road it couldn't take off and do damage. But the flames spread quickly and burned off an area in a field before being brought under control. The ladies quickly formed a bucket brigade with the hand powered pump handle pushed to capacity.

Studebaker’s 1959 Lark two-door sedan is powered by a 169.6-cubic inch engine with an improved combustion chamber design with a shorter stroke, plus a higher 8.3 to 1 compression ratio and new carburetion. The result: maximum economy of operation and durability, combined with smooth, lively performance. All Studebaker engines for 1959 are designed to operate efficiently on regular gasoline. A redesigned ladder-type frame provides greater torsional and beam strength. This, coupled with stronger body construction, means greater structural rigid ity. The new Lark thus rides more quietly —free from annoying squeaks and raitles. BOOSTER W L Caterpillars 19 5 Dick's Bar 15 9 Ten Pin Lanes 14 10 J. M.
