'. Burn the grass on your va-
|£, cant lots, but take care in do-
ling so, says the Fire Chief.
Grass fires are becoming nu-
merous. Hardly a week goes by
that the fire company is not
called out to stop a grass fire.
If citizens owning vacant lots
covered with dry grass would
burn this grass under guard,
and not wait for a carelessly
thrown cigarette or match, or
a spark to fire the grass, some
of these pesky little blazes
Uxcould be eliminated. Let’s
clear these vacant lots before
one of these grass fires gets
out of control and causes
damage.

Cuero is going airminded.
Some two hundred persons
took advantage of the “bar-
gain rates’’ offered by Ben
Gregory, Kansas City flier, in
Cuefo Sunday, and saw Cuero
from the air. Gregory, flying
a giant Ford Tri-Motor plane,
carried more than 200 Cuero
citizens up Sunday, he declar-
ed, many of them for their
first trip in the air. Boys and
girls, ranging from 5 years in
age to “80” enjoyed a spin
over Cuero. Cuero is really
going airminded. And, come to
think of it, the day is not far
in distant when air
travels over Cuero will be no
novelty.
