The conditions in the wodds brought about by dry leaves and high winds need only a spark added to start a fire which may destroy thousands of acres of timber, says County Agent R. C. Blaney, Wood fires will never burn unless they get a start Most fires are started through the carelessness of some person. It is the patriotic duty of every citizen to be extremely care- ful this fall that he or she does not cause a forest fire Report immediately any fire that does start either to your local fire warden or to my office. Put a stop to this fire demon before it gets the chance to destroy valuable timber and use up the precious time of men needed in productive work. 1 Lhe | COLLEGE POLICE SOLVE THEFT; ANOTHER UNSOLVED About 1 p. m. last Thursday Chief {of Police John R.
