[ #aAGE SEVEN BENEFIT OF LOCAL COUNCILS Deal With Matters Which Vitally Af. fect Welfare of mvery Member of the Community. Are you a lonesome citizen or are you a neighborly citizen? Are you and yours getting a square deal in your district? Are the pavements, the street cars, the gutters clean ana giving good service? Are the prices you pay for meat. | Potatoes, milk and bread, in your opin lon, fair and right? Is the school furmshing your child 8 good education in return for your taxes? Is the landlord pronteering on your rent? These, according to the councils, are & few of the important matters of everyday city living which should have a satisfactory answer if a man I to remain a satisned citizen In his community. To get a satisfactory answer he must be a member of his local council. “In these times,” says a circular explaining the organization, “the community council is a ray of hope. It is a nonpoitical, nonsectari- an neighborhood organtzation of the people—the voice of the neighbor- hood.” Parenthetically, it may be added that a large part of the voice is fem- inine, thousands of nousewives being enrolled in the varlous locals.—Ex- change. TO PREVENT LOSS BY FIRE Simple Rules, If Properly Observed, Will Lead to an Enormous Annual Saving. Use only safety matches and make 1t impossible for children to get - them. Always place burned matches in meml] receptacles; never throw them on thel floor or into waste baskets. To smoke in garages, in bed or around stables containing hay is de- liberately to invite disaster. One or more approved chemical fire extinguishers should be placed in ev- ery home. They must be protected against freezing. It is well to see that the garden hose may be attached to the kitchen faucet. Have the telephone number of the nearest fire station on a special card at your telephone. Familiarize the family with the op- eration of the nearest fire alarm box. After operating a fire alarm stay near it to direct the firemen to the fire. Ev- ery minute is important. . Don't fail to notify the chief of the flre\department of anything you may see In the neighborhood that is dan- gerous or liable to cause fire—Ex- change. Plea for Home Ownership. From Portland, Ore., a western view of what the own-your-own-home cam- | may pass. palgn means to the nation has been re- ceived by the United States depart- | | ment of labor. William A. McRae of the Bank of California writes: “Whether the haome is a cottage or a palace it equally shelters and en- shrines the sacred love and devoted af- fection of all that is best and wor- thiest in our common humanity. Why should every married man own his home? “First, to give his wife a chance to make a home, which is the natural de- sire of the normal woman, who in the cramped quarters of the boarding house or apartment lacks sufficient breathing space. Secondly, to supply his family with an environment where paternal love and devotion may have ample room and the privacy so essen- tial to enable parents to train their children by setting before them in their plastic stage an example worth while.” Old, but Ever True. It is in part to help the spiritual growth and to teach the “young idea” of community spirit “how to shoot” that the chamber of commerce pub- lished in its monthly bulletin lines like these: It you like to live in the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like, You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind, For there's nothing that's really new. It's & knock at yourself when you knock your town. It isn’t the town, it's you. Real towns aren’t made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead. ‘When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead. And if while you make your personal stake Your neighbors can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see, It isn’t the town, it's you. Many Small Homes Built. The building projects of 1919 figure up to $2,600,000,000 for the whole country, according to a New York au- thority. The most Interesting feature of the matter Is the ract that an un- precedented percentage of the build- ing was in the building of small homes. Community’s Big Four. The church, the school, the county agent, the local newspaper—these are the Big Four lu community life. Man Insists G|rl Who “Kllled” Him Is Mlstaken OCKFORD, 1LL.—Hold up those obituary notices for Arthur Gross of 1328 Fletcher streét, Chicago. He denies he's dead. He came back to the Hayes hotel here at 4 o'clock this afternoon and the manager showed him a telegram from C. . Adams & Co. of 225 South Suate street, Chicago, for whom Gross is a collector, asking par- ticulars of his death. Gross had just spent an hour try- ing to convince the police there were no “particulars” and he was in no mood to give his obituary to the hotel people. The police had received two telegrams demanding the facts and asking them to see that an undertaker took charge of the body. Gross sald they could go ahead, if they liked, but he'd “be derned” if he wus going to pay any undertaker's bill. “The first thing I want to tell you,” he said to a reporter, “is that that story sbout my death s all a darned lie. any funeral expenses, to be my sweetheart, bwt sf followed me here. The whole thing was cooked up by a woman. And, furthermore, I won’t stand for She used s married now, and keeps tagging after me. She I 1efused to see her and she went back to Chbicago. I guess when she found she couldn't get me she wanted to ‘kill’ me.” Gmss is a good L:ue;sel BIRD PUZZLES WOODMEN Strange Catch of a New York State Pheasant Hunter. Martin Schledorn of Danville, N. Y., a recently returned overseas service man, went shooting pheasants fhe other day. He came home with a large bird which he shot on the wing, think- ing it a pheasant. Tts coloring is beautiful, the great wings, lined with white and gray feath- ers, measuring 42 inches from tip to tip. The tail Is of brown feathers with a breast of cream mottled, the back a dark gray white. Its curved beak and huge ons look like those of a young e 5 but the older hunters here think it {s an unusually large hen hawk. The bird was shot in a swale on the Ossian hills. and Cow Produced 1,000 Pounds of Butter. A registered yearling, Lulu Alphea of Ashburn, N. Y., produced 13669 pounds of milk, from which 1.000 pounds of butter was made in the year ending November 1. This is helieved to break all records for hutter pro- duction. Bombarding Sky With Names. By means of new wireless invention it will be possible to project sounds into the air which will enable an avi- ator to know exactly where he is. For example, suppose he were passing over Calgary, from the moment he approached the region he would re- celve the message “This is Calgary” until be had left it behind him. And so on with all places over which he In this way his chances of losing his way will be considerably diminished. To ‘Develop French Water Power, A bill for the canalization of the Rhone and the employment of water power was introduced in the French chamber of deputies on August 9. The cost of the scheme is estimated a¢ 2, 500,000,000 francs ($482,500,000) and the total power to he obtained will not be less than the equivalent oh- tained from 5,000.000 tons of coal, or one-fifth of the coal production of France for 1918. ._That’s just exactly what hapvened. and brown | i AN L] Bird Preserve Planned. The proposal to establish an exten- slve wild-bird preserve on the north- ern shore of Lake Erie is gaining wide favor in Canada. Seomething must be done at once, it is urged by bird lov- ers, to preserve the wild fowl and in- sectivorous birds, or they will be- come as extinct as the wild pigeon. There are strict garne regulations in the province, but the establishment of a large preserve would assist the leg- islation. There is aiready a nucleus of the proposed aren in Rondeau park, and it is planned to extend this along . the lake shore west for 30 miles. Pian Memorial for Poe. Taking as its inspiration a sugges- tion of Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novelist. the Bronx Society of Art and Science has decided to erect a memo- rial in honor of Edgar Allan Poe, whose cottaze in Poe park, the Bronx, Senor Ihanez visited the other day. The Spanish writer started the fund with n contribution of $100.—New York Times. i BUSINESS AND (- ! PROFESSIONAL |- DOCTORS DR. EINER JOHNSON Physician and Surgeon Bemidji.. Minn. DR. H. A.
