dorsement.
First, the building OF county In

poor BETTING such a splendid and
prosperous people. Let US petition
she court to submit il to vote at
the fall election. If carried, levy a
tax to build II, and pay for It as we

Second, the consolidation OF our
country schools. County Supt. Ives
touched vital topic In his recent
bulletin, when he recommended the
merging OF two or more weak coun.
try schools into township school.
Let us have more information on the
subject, Mr.. Ives.
Third, Major Crowell's plan for
Boys County Corn Show" is good
one and should be warmly support.

resented in the movement. 1t will
mean much for the Kingdom Of

Blaze at Court House.

The fire alarm sounded Sunday
morning aud considerable xcitemens
was caused throughout the city BY
the announcement that the court
house vas on fire. The blaze was dis
covered in a board petition in the
basement room adjoining the engine
room, and IL was very fortunate that
1t was discovered so soon, as Is was
last making Roadway towards the
stairway leading to the first floor on
the south side. The two fire compa-
nies responded promptly and soon
had the fire under control. George
Pollock, the engineer, very thought.
fully kept all the windows and doors
shut below to prevent draft until
the fire companies arrived. Mr.. Pol
lock accounts for the origin OF the
fire as follows: He said he had a box
OF toilet paper In the corner, next to
the petition, near which he kept a
box OF matches. Shortly before he
discovered the fire he had taken some
matches from the box, and he thinks
he must have ignited the matches re-
naming In the box without noticing.
At least that Is the only way he can
account for IL, and il is q very rea.
sonable theory.
