There are three classes of fires—
A. B and C. “A” fires involve wood
trash, paper, hay, and other com
bustible materials. This type of
lire can be fought with water,
sand, and the soda-acid type of
| extinguisher. "B” fifes include gas
oline, kerosene, grease and oil
fires. They should be smothered
with sand or ordinary baking soda,
or with carbon dioxide or foam ap
proved extinguishers. “C” fires are
electrical fires—motors, generators,
etc. They can be smothered with
ordinary baking soda, carbon di
oxide, or other extinguishers ap
proved for this type of fires.
The Extension Service of the
University of Alaska is cooperating
with the U. S. Department of Agri
culture in a campaign to prevent
fires on farms and in homes in all
parts of the Territory. The Service
urgently requests all farmers and
home owners to take action now
and remove all hazards that might
bring sorrow and loss to families
in Alaska.

We Americans havfe something
which is very precious to us, for
which we fought and have main
tained for three hundred years, the
democratic right of free election.
It is not only in the Territory
that people are passing up that
heritage, it is neglected every
where. Here, however, where the
population is smaller, the number
of eligiblcs who are passing up the
ballot is very evident.
If we suddenly found ourselves
under the domination of a govern
ment who would say, “Yoq are nqt
competent to judge for yourselves
that which is for your own good,
therefore, the privilege of free elec
tions and voting is denied you,”
we would immediately be up in
arms.
We are satisfied to know that
the privilege is ours to be exer-J
cised if we want it, but tQo many
now-a-days are lax in the protec
tion of their own rights.
People in Seward will be sick
and tired of being reminded to reg
ister and to vote on the 4th of Oc
tober, but if it is pounded in often
enough and from all quarters, per
haps we will turn out a record
vote. *
No one is electioneering, or try
ing to influence votes for any one
office. In fact, as of this writing,
no one has filed for office. The
object is to prove how many voters
we have, and to elect our munici
pal officers by a majority of the
people instead of by the minority.
The rule of the majority can only
b accomplished by the thoughtful
voting of EVERY man and woman
who is entitled.
The Seward Woman’s Club will
hold the first fall meeting next
Tuesday evening in the Public Li
brary. Plans will be presented for a
full winter schedule, including a
reception to teachers and new resi
dents.
If ever you lose your way, you
can use an ordinary watch to deter
mine north and south, and from
this reading find the four points
of the compass* To do this, turn
the watch so that the hour hand
points to the sun. Halfway be
tween the hour hand and 12 o’clock
is south. Below the equator, this
halfway point is naturally north.
