"The care lea smokers were the cause of over ft per cent of the fires In Oregon last year. No true analysis can be made of the fires originating from the var ious uses of tohaci-o, hut unquestion ably the cigarette Is the primary cause. Moat brands of modern cig arettes burn until fiilly consumed. differing from a cigar or pipe, which require ,a draft.. Cigarettes once lighted consume themselves by their own combustion, hence cant off butts become a live fire menace until en tirely extinguished. Tho above 'I one reason why every citizen should see that excelsior, hay, straw, rub bish and dry graiw should not be al lowed to accumulate around the premises. "Smokers ought to resolve to crush out the fire before they throw away the stub. All smokers are not cautions, but they should feel a sense of moral obligation and exer cise ordinary caution so long an the weather is dry. and should not throw a lighted cigar, cigarette or match where it wilt come In contact with dry grass or rubbish. "In behalf of the state fire mar shal's office. I desire to thank the business men of Grants Pass for the hearty co-operation received in our work of fire prevention, and for the great assistance rendored us by Flte Chief Cass and Chief of PoHce Mc Lane.

A Fair Chance Every man owes himself a fair chance. He owes his business a fair chance. Because his business is the machinery through which he pays himself for his work. A fair chance means that he gives his business every known opportunity to flour ish. Business is like gardening. The gardener who picks out the shady corners for his sun-loving plants doesn't give them a fair chance to turn into food and flowers. The business which keeps its offerings in the dark doesn't give them a fair chance to turn into dollars. The man who expects the public to come to him without telling it what to come to him for isn't doing himself justice. ' A fair chance means, among other things, turning on the sunlight, the sun light of publicity.
