INDIANA SPENDS LITTLE FOB FIRE PREVENTION Present indications are that the fire losses in the United States and Canada for 1911 will exceed $260,000,000. The figures for the first seven months of the year show a total of $154,992,900 as compared with $126,076,800 during the same period last year. This tremendous loss of property is challenging the attention of business men all over the country and is the chief motive for the present agitation in Indiana now being conducted by the commercial organizations of the state headed by the Indianapolis Trade Association. The proposal to observe Monday, Oct. 9, as State Fire Prevention Day, is merely a preliminary step to a continued educational campaign to arouse the general public to the need to study the question of fire prevention. The fire losses in 1910 were $234,- ’ 406,650 and if the present ratio of . increase continues through the next i three months the 1911 losses may i approach $300,000,000. This will exceed any year m the history of the country except those of the San Francisco and the Baltimore conflagrations. Government officials and students of the fire prevention problem agree that the majority of the fires are due to carelessness and are easily preventable. All of the recent fires which have attracted public attention because of the heavy loss of life with which they were accompanied were due to carelessness and indifference of owners, occupants or municipal authorities. New York has been spending $10,000,000 a year for fire extinguishment and only SIO,OOO for fire prevention. Indiana is spending practically nothing for fire prevention but every city and town and hamlet is paying an immense amount to extinguish fires that might have been prevented at much less expense. The tremendous fire losses are draining the resources of the country and weakening its insurance capital. ' A score of fire insurance companies have retired from the field already this year, because of the heavy losses last year and the unfavorable outlook, two of the number being companies over a hundred years old. The proportion of insurance capital to insurance liabilities is very much on the decrease. In the past forty years the liabilities have almost doubled while only $6,000,000 more capital was invested in the business in 1910 than in 1870. a Lagrange Corn School Show. The fifth annual corn school show at Lagrange is proving to be a great success this year. The exhibits of corn and other farm products are numerous and of fine quality.

After the meeting the ladies were nvited to the dining room where a delicious lunch was spread, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, cocoa, mixed fruit and cake. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers. The next meeting will be held at the home of of Mrs. Perry Doll. Mrs. John Curtis and three children, who have been visiting here nearly a year, left Thursday for their home in North Dakota. Mrs. Curtis is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Rookstool.
