23 Fires in County, 1933
Bring Loss of $31,140
Morrow county reportetd 23 fires
for 1933 to the state fire marshal's
office, showing a total loss of $31,
140, according to a copy of the sta
tistical ledger of the fire office just
received. Insurance totalling $28,
691 was paid on the losses.
The sound value of property af
fected was given at $147,548 and
total amount of insurance at $126,
955. Morrow county ranked tenth
among counties of the state In per
centage of loss to value of property
affected. Deaths resulting from
fires, for the state, for the year
were given at 22, and injuries from
fire causes at 173.
Insured sound values for the state
to the extent of $83,377,640 were in
volved in fire with an actual loss of
$2,713,360. This is a reduction in
actual loss of 35 per cent as com
pared with 1932, reports A. H. Av
erill, fire marshal.
The increasing efficiency of fire
control is clearly shown by the per
centage of the actual losses to the
sound values involved of 6.38 in
1931, 5. in 1932 and a new all-time
low record of 3.25 in 1933. Again,
an increase in carefulness upon the
part of the general public, system
atic inspections and fire prevention
work in general has resulted In a
reduction of 30.8 In the number of
fires.
Pronounced reductions are noted
in all county losses except Colum
bia, Douglas, Lake, Lincoln, Mor
row, Wheeler and Yamhill.
Insured farm .losses were $550,264,
a reduction of Zb.i c as compared
to 1931.
Dallas Because of the lncreas-
Ing popularity of Zimmerman
spring wheat which was introduced
Into Polk county six years ago by
County Agent J. R. Beck and a
number of cooperating farmers, ar
rangements have been made to give
this variety a trial on the experi
mental farms at Oregon State col
lege. G. R. Hyslop, chief of the
farm crops department, has re
cently obtained a 15 pound sample
from S. H. Crook for this purpose.

WARNING
to EXPECTANT MOTHERS
If you have ever been a patient in
any hospital, you are probably
familiar with the advantages of a
liquid laxative.
Doctors know the value of the
laxative whose dose can be mea
sured, and whose action can thus
be controlled to suit your individual
need.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have now learned that a properly
prepared liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement without dis
comfort at the time, or after. Dr.
Caldwell's long experience with
mothers and babies, and his re
markable record of nearly three
thousand births without the loss of
one mother or child, should give
anybody complete confidence in
any prescription which he wrote I
But most important of all, a
gentle liquid laxative does not cause
bowel strain to the most delicate
system, and this is of the utmost
importance to expectant mothers and
to every child.
Frnoctont mothers are uroed to
try gentle regulation of bowels with
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is
a delightful tasting laxative of
delightful action, made of fresh
tt..k. nnH rtAnaln and aptivA nenna.
Not a single mineral drug; nothing
to cnnn strain or irritate the
kidneys.
Dr. Caldwell's SyniD
Pepsin is an approved
preparation and kept
ready for use by all
druggists.
