CL, un-> der act of March 3rd, 1878, HUNTING MAY BE DANGEROUS The hunting season will soon pre sent its annual toll of dead hunters as the sportsmen take their guns and stalk the elusive quarry. It might not be amiss to urge all hunters to be cautious in their handl ing of firearms in the discharge of their' weapons at what they think is game and in generally maintaining an attitude of the highest prudence in connection with hunting. Many children in the United States will take up the sport this Fall for the first time. Older persons, assum ing responsibility for their guidance ?should not overlook the necessity of teaching them the proper method of handling firearms. A little time, devoted to this task, may save a hu man being who is worth more to yon than the game that the woods and fields offer to you as a sportsman. RAILROADS BUYING The railroads of the country have ordered $125,000,000 worth of new equipment in the last sixty days, ac cording to Jesse H. Jones, Federal Loan Administrator, who asserts that the carriers will be able to meet any emergency demand. The RFC has been offering money to railroads for equipment loans at interest rates of about three per cent but the railroads have been able to better the rate in the money market. If the loan market hardens the car riers can get funds from die RFC for equipment on liberal terms. The people of the nation cannot overestimate the importance of the railroad systems that serve the na tion. We are not going to start an argument about trains and trucks be cause each has a place in the econo mic life of the United States. It is important, however, to keep our great transportation system up-to-date even if the government has to advance some of the money. - . Clean Chimneys Will Prevent Farm Fires Winter is approaching and soon the rural family will find use for its heat ing system, whether it be a furnace, a stove, or an open fireplace. Each of these types of heating plants has a chimney, and right now is the best time to clean that chim ney and check it for cracks which might cause disastrous fixes, advises Prof. David S. Weaver, Extension agricultural engineer of State Col lege. "Of course, if a stove pipe is the only outletjTor smoke, there is all the more reason to take precautions because this type of equipment is usu ally a greater fire hasard," he added. Prof. Weaver pointed out that stopped-up chimneys will cause sparks to poor bade into a room and set fire to furnishings? fad often are the cause of spontaneous combustion. Also, chimneys buQt on wooden sup parts or boBt out of cheap mortar or soft bricks axe likely to crack. Sparks go through the cracks to the wood or other inflammable material, and a -a* _ ? ?s , ^ , J lire is started. "Rural families need to take extra precautions,'' said Prof. Weaver, "be cause they do not have the benefit of trained fiiw-fighters found in the cities, nor do they usually have the fight a fire. chief came of fire ie cazo a hasani* ? .1 - BICYCLE ENDURANCE RECORD p,,.,,,,, t^mriti Trrw VmiKaI TTjluIlI-** VJwTJC IliiTmfgy I cle in two-bour gkiffca, aince Juiy27, to > - 1 - 1 ,r . /%. _ CHURCHES SUNDAY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.
