SERIOUS FIRE AVERTED.
Night Waterman Discovers Blaze
and Loss Only Slight.

disastrous fire in the plant of the Heth-
erington-Berner Company, on South street,
was averted about 1920 o'clock last night
by the presence of mind and the quick
action of the night Waterman, c. A. Hine.
Some hot ashes that had been left in a
wooden truck during the day set fire to
the truck, which stood in the pattern shop.
and the blaze was communicating to the
floor of the shop near the truck when dis
covered by the Waterman. The company
keeps about forty dozen fire buckets at
different points throughout the shop, and
with the use of these the Waterman extin-
guished the fire before IL had done any con-
siderable damage.
The blaze started within sixty feet of the
origin of the fire that damaged the Heth-
erington-Berner plant to the extent of
$4,000 about year ago. Had IL burned but
few minutes longer before discovery it
is probable that the fire of a year ago
would have been practically repeated.

Date Palm Agent of Civilization

Of all the plants in the worle none has hal a greater influence on the his tory Of mankind than the date palm. The oldest written history in existence mentions it, and shows how even then lt was almost a necessity of life in the valleys Of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, while as long ago as 2,OO0 years before the coming of Christ it was an important food of the Egyptians.
 Without this plant 1t is possible that the Desert Of Sahara would have re- mained an impassable barrier to the march of nations until our own day, for it was only the food provided by the date palm that enabled caravans to penetrate the sandy wastes. Later on 1t was only the possibility of easy culti- vatiOn of the date palm in the hot, dry lands that enabled the Arabs and Moors tD establish colonies in the Sa- haran oases, and thus gradually to form A chain of civilization stretching across Africa.
 The date palm is a curious tree. It thrives under the very conditions that kill other plants. Put the date palm into burning sands, where the winds are shriveling hot, and where the soil is powder and full of salts and other noxious materials, and the date palm will bring forth abundantly, although any other plan would die almost al. once.
 But with all this hardiaess, the date palm has a mortal spot-like the heel of Achilles-only in the tree it is in just the opposite place, for it is in the very top. There sits bud, the terminal bud it is called. It is surrounded by leaves to protect it, and as the bark of the tree is composed of sharp triangular scales, like the pointed pickets of fence, it is fairly safe from attack. But if it is injured or destroyed, the palm must die. There is no hope for it.
 Another curious thing about the date palm is that it never produces more than twenty leaves year. The Arabs believe that every palm produces ex- actly twelve, no more and no less, but this is incorrect.
 However, twenty leaves, though it is d small sum, represents quite mass of foliage in the case of the date palm,

FOR NEW SCHOOLHOUSES
Supt. Baldwin Brings News of Impor-
 tance to Calexico and SiIsbee.

County Superintendent of Schools Baldwin is in the valley looking after the interests of the local schools. He stated that the work was excellent and the schools in fiourishing condition. Many of the schools are crowded SO that petitions are being circulated for addi- tional districts.
 Supt. Baldwin brought the nforma- tion that the money realized from the sale of the school bonds of the Calexi leo and Silsb.e districts was now available. The Southern Pacific took the bonds, $3, 200 for each district being the amount paid. IL is thought the money at Ca lrxico will be put 10 immediate use in the erection of two or three-room schoolhouse. At Silsbee probably one school building will be erected in the town itself and another near the corner oi the road and the main canal near Wilsie's, la cost q 500 each.
 Preparations are being actively push cd forward for the Teachers Institute which will be held here the latter part "f January. Among the speakers will be MT. Hyatt, superintendent of River sid. county schools, who will talk on the work of school trustees, and State superintendent of Public Instruction Kirk. Prot. Norrish of Imperial, Mrs. Ida Fredericks oi Brawley and w. J.. McGaw of Eastside, are engaged with Mir. Baldwin in arranging the program. There will he two days session.
 After the institute Superintendents Baldwin and Hyatt will make a trip to Palo Verde, both having schools there under their jurisdiction.

In these days of electric lights 1t

Here is one who turned up brightly
as the lights do not always do.

the household to the coal-heaver, "after

light"
Half an hour later the family was
disturbed by strong odor OF escap..

the coal man had extinguished the
light by blowing 1t out, went to the
cellar to investigate. and found thar
his surlnlso was correct. Just as 10
opened the windows to let out the gas
the coal HEAVIER drove into the yaro
with another load. Mr.. Black prompt
ly escorted him to the cellar, gave MIN
lesson in the use of gas, and ex'
