Oak Most Susceptible to Lightning According to the State Fire Marshal.

While many people have had the opinion that Walnut trees were the most susceptible to lightning', and did not favor them for shade trees on a farm, they have been mistaken according to the state fire marshal, W. E. Longley, who says oak trees are the most susceptible to lightning. He also states that beech trees afford the safest protection to farm buildings from lightning fires.

the building.

TOKEEPYOCTH

The amount of protection afforded by trees depends on the nearness of the tree to the building. Mr. Longley said. If the tree stands Greenfield, close beside a barn or house, the lightning charge may pass from the tree to the building.

The degree of protection afforded by the various kinds of trees, with oak, the most susceptible to lightning charges, graded as 100, is in the following ratio: oak, 100: elm, 77 pine, 33 fir, i0 beech, 2. It is the opinion of Mr. Longley that many lightning fires in the state are averted by trees which stand near farm buildings.

Almost 50 per cent, of the fire losses on contents of buildings in this state is not covered by insurance, according to figures gathered by Longley during his first eight months since his office was established. Of the 5,995 fires which resulted in a loss on contents, in 2,923 instances there was no insurance. More than 3,071 of the "contents" fires were fully or partly insured. The number of building fires which

FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION

Give it a fair trial for banishing those distressing pains or drains on one's vitality. This prescription of Dr. Pierce's regulates all the womanly functions. It eradicates and destroys "Female Complaints" and weaknesses that make women miserable and old before their time. "Every girl needs it before womanhood. Every mother needs It. It is an invigorating tonic for the female system. All medicine dealers have sold it with satisfaction, to customers for the past 40 years. It is now obtainable in liquid or tablet form at drug stores7-or send 50 one-cent stamps for trial box, to R. V. Pierce, Buffalo.

occurred in the same period, and' more, vice president of the Sixth the proportion insured, according District Federation of Clubs, to the report-of the fire marshal, was 4,814 buildings insured, and 1,289 buildings not insured. Many of the uninsured building fires reported in the state, were barns and small outbuildings of comparatively little value.

By freeing owners of .buildings protected by lightning rods from paying losses on unrodded property the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Co., of Shelby and Johnson counties, has taken a direct step toward assisting Longley's office in the work of preventing lightning fires in the rural districts of the state, he said. Under the new plan of the Farmers' Mutual, tw^o classes of policy holders are created those having insurance on rodded buildings and those holding policies on unrodded buildings. Only the members of,

each class are called on to pay the lightning losses which occur on the property insured under that class. "This plan was adopted by the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company," said Longley, "because of the $15,000 paid out last year in lightning losses, the entire amount being on property which was unrodded."

Longley is particularly pleased at

the interest the farmers mutual Sunday with their grandparents, O. Moore and wife.

companies are taking in preventing fires throughout the state, and especially in the efforts being made in the direction of "lightning fire" prevention. The statistics compiled already are sufficient to show that the number of lightning fires which occur on rodded buildings in comparison with that on unrodded buildings is so small as to be negligible. the entire lightning loss in Indiana is due to the fact that property owners do not take the necessary precautions for prevention, Longley said.

The pink side of the K. R. K. was entertained March 25th by the green side at the home of the leader of the green, Mrs. J. A. Cottey, south of town. The invitations were sent out for a thimble party, but nearly all operated crochet hooks. At 3:30 the ladies belonging to the pink side were invited into the "hotel style" dining room where "menus" wrere found upon each table. The diners ordered the things they thought good to eat but after they were brought in they could neither name nor eat the order. After some time was spent at these little tables, the ladies were invited to another dining room, where something really good to eat was discovered. The round dining table with its candles, cut glass, silver and flowers, on a, beautiful mirror, added attractiveness to the decoration. All enjoyed being treated much better than they expected to be.

Riley Siders, one of the best known farmers of Brandywine township, sustained a broken leg in an accident Tuesday resulting from a horse being frightened by a traction car. Mr. Siders was delivering his milk at Stop 16 on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Traction line. He was standing holding his horse when it became frightened, and was through against a rural mail-box post, becoming .entangled in the limbs of a tree in such a -way in range of the horses hoofs that it kicked him, breaking a leg between the knee and ankle.

PICTURES BY DICK BLACK AT HEBRON ART INSTITUTE

A number of Greenfield people are visiting the Herron Art Institute at Indianapolis to see the two etchings displayed there which were made by Dick Black, a former Greenfield boy, who has been abroad for several years receiving his education and studying art. The etchings are said to be very good. His subjects are "Indiana Fireplace," and "The Sale." It is said that when the artist made the "Indiana Fireplace" he had the old fireplace in the home on the Eli Gant farm in mind, and it is a very attractive scene. "The Sale" is a Holland scene.

Mr. Black's friends here will be very much rejoiced to know that he has received recognition in Europe, and that some of his etchings will hang in some of the art galleries of France.

Lost—Tan leather purse containing a paper dollar and some change. Also a gentleman's ring in a ring box. The ring had the initials "H. D." The ring was not in the purse. Finder, please notify Harry Dunham, Route 6, or leave same at the Walker Store. 30d3-wl-pd (Advertisement).
