Phone 35 Williamston, N. G LOSS BY FOREST , FIRES IN NORTH CAROLINA What shall North Carolina do about the great loaa by forest fires? This Is a real lire question and one on whose answer much depends During the five year period from I&A9 to 1913 the arerage number of fires reported per year in North Carolina was 633 These flres burned each year about 415,000 acres at an average loss of ffi6o,ooo and two 11**8. The cost each year to private indi viduals of fighting these flres was about 120.000. The losses and costs should be stopped if posiMe or at least greatly reduced. This can be done by the exercise of ordinary care es pecially at this season of the year when flres are so likely to get out and spread The Insurance Commlsloner ap peals to all citizens not to start out side flres on windy days or leave them to be fanned Into flames or spruad hy winds rising during the night. Kire is used too promiscuously and carelessly for burning new lands b»- 'lng opened as well as other lands covered with vegetation Hunters, teamsters and smokers must exercise more (are with their flres and matches All rases of careless as well as In tentlonal starting of fires thai dam age lands and. forests should be re ported to the Insurance Commissioner so that they may be investigated and, where the evidence-Justifies It, vigor ous prosecutions instituted. The loss from these causes since 1913 has been even greater each year MANY KINDS OF INSURANCE Rays the Dallas. Texaa., "News": "In these days you can Insure al most anything. At the time of the roller skatlnß boom one insurance company Issued a policy which, for $2.75 a year, provided $1,260 In caso of accidental death, with reduced amounts for disablement. "An enterprising firm of hatterß is sued a booklet to their customers in r.urlng them with every hat they pur chased, for $1,250. Perhaps one of the most useful policies Is one granted by a well known insurance corpora tion which, in event of a Arm going; bankrupt, Insures the continuance of' the employwjd' wages for a stipulated period. 'A golfer can obtain a policy to be relieved of all financial responsibility If he hits or Injures Ills caddie. One can.not only Insure against becoming Insane, but It Is also possible to in sure against tin Instine person regain ing his mental cjumMliltcs. » Several companies will Insure crops lii glasshouses against ms.

These ntandards are re vised whenever necessary and others are prepared to meet new conditions. It Is well to here emphasize the fact that members have contributed their experience and skill to the prepara tion of these standards without hop»> of reward other than the satisfaction which comes to those who know they have contributed to a worthy cause.
