BURRIFF BROTHERS HORSESHOE CHAMPS AT PREBLE PICNIC EATON, Ohio, Aug. 19. An attendance of over 2.000. a horseshoe pitching tournament and addresses by Charles Patterson of Tipton, Ind., and O. E. Bradfute, of Xenia, Ohio, president of the Ohio state farm bureau, made a memorable affair of the annual Preble county grange and farm bureau picnic held at the fair grounds Friday. -. Ice cream, candy, watermelon, soft drinks, popcorn and peanut and lunch eVands weTe operated by committees from the Campbellstown Christian
church and gaily colored balloons in the hands of the children helped to give the appearance of a county fair. There was even a balloon ascension which attracted much interest, when one of the children's toys escaped and floated into the clouds overhead. ' First place in the horseshoe pitchtag tournament at the picnic was taken ky the team of Burriff and Burriff, with a total score of 205, second place went to Paxson and Johnson on a score of 193, while the two teams of Wilson and Clark and Glander and Brandenbur tied for third place with scores of
1S1 each. ' In Two Divisions The tournament was run off in two divisions, the winners of the first division being the team Deem and Buckingham, score 210, with Busch and Fahrenholz, score 210 second.

FIRE RISKS III CITY ARE DETERMINED . : WITH ALMOST MATHEMATICAL ACCURACY
Fire risks in a city are determined with almost mathematical accuracy, by the means of two schedules which are used uniformly by all companies, said one of the insurance men who is working up information for the mayor's insurance investigating committee. There is the standard schedule which is used for the classification of the city itself, upon which the' base rates of the city are set, and the Dean schedule upon which the additional risks for the individual buildings in the business section are set. - Richmond has just, been examined by the national board of fire underwriters, and her rating should be published in a few days, but it is interesting to know on what basis the classification is made. A standard for a perfectly protected city is first set. Next the city is charged with certain deficiencies for every point that the city falls short of that ideal standard. Relative Weight The relative weight of the various units is shown by the following schedule of deficiency points which may be
I given to a city. '
Water supply, 1,700; fire department. 1,500; fire alarm, 550; police, 50; building laws, 200; hazards, 300; structural conditions, 700; total, 5,000. A class one city has not over 500 points in deficiency, a second class 501 to 1,000, a third class 1,00 to 1.500, etc.. a tenth class city having a deficiency of over 4,500 points. In rating the water supply and tha
fire department, the manner of appointment of employes, their condi
tions of employment, number and ad, vancement, are all considered, as well as the actual condition of the appara tus that is to be used to fight fires. Thirty-two things are considered in rating the water supply and 34 items
in rating the fire department. Other Factors. Co-operation' of the police and fire departments in connection with fires, the building codes, and the structural conditions of. the business areas bear an important part in the making up of the final count. - The manual notes that non-observance of the building code should be equivalent to no code, as far as the rating of the city is concerned.
The detail with which the protec-
DEFENCE MINISTER OF IRISH: STATE LOOMS IN CRISIS
The other schedule used, the
"Dean," is for individual buildings and sets the percentage of risk carried by different hazards in tho . construction
of the building. Thus doors and windows which might let a fire in from an adjacent building carry, a certain penalty in the " insurance, as do any other practices which the insuranca engineers from their study of fires, covering a long period of time, consider to be conducive to greater risk. The schedules are constantly 'being changed as the experience of the company shows that one practice or another i3 safer or more dangerous in the light of . developments - in other lines. The mayor's committee is taking for part of its task the gathering of figures to show either that . the rates quoted at present in Richmond

be lowered, or the formation of some plan by which the whole schedule of individual rates may be revised and lowered. , - , "

farmer was strongly advocated by O. ' tion to the city is rated, is shown
E. Bradfute, in a discussion cf the
tconomic activities of the farm bureaus and granges. More economical practices put into effect by them, he said, would, by the end of the year, have resulted in a saving of $1,000,000 to Ohio livestock shippers, who a,re now shipping for 73 cents a hundred against a former cost of $1.25 to $1.40; a saving of millions to dairy producers, members of co-operatives already started in his own city having realized, Fince organization, a price for butterfat that is four cents above the Chicago quotation, although the price from privately owned companies was' four cents below the same quotations, and in addition getting a much better test for their cream. An increase in price of 23 per cent for wool over the price offered the farmer also was credited to the wool pool which handled 7,000,000 pounds last year. Must Watch Costs
The necessity of closer attention by
from the following notes. If a fire
chief is removable from office without cause, 10 points are to be counted off, the perfect city having the fire 'chief appointed for an indefinite term, and removable for cause only after public hearing. Officers should be appointed upon examination., seniority and record failure to do so penalizing the city from five to 10 points. If good quality of gasoline Is not kept , at! convenient points ready for quick handling, from five to 10 points can be added to the total deficiencies. Even the condition of the streets are considered in the scale. Cross walks, steep grades, gutters, railroad grade crossings, and drawbridges may give the city from 10 to 20 additional points.

furniture, he said. Excessive freight rates also were hit. "Our dollar is worth only 72 cents in paying freight comoared to 1913." said Mr. Bradfute, and freight charges are often equal to a third or a. half of the value of the product. It costs more to ship mutton from the Mississippi river to New. York than from the Argentine to the same city, srid more to ship to California coast points than from Australia, We could

Called upon to explain his stand on the taxation amendment question, the speaker scored the present "uniform" law which prevents adjusting taxes ac
cording to equity, and pointed out that the new ajnendment would provide a debt limitation which could only be avoided by the consent of the people directly concerned. "We pay 2 per cent in Somers township," said one "of the audience in answer to a question when Mr. Bradfute was pointing out the failure of the one per cent law. The proposed amendment would impose a positive debt limitation of one and a half per cent.
