AS TO LOCAL SCHOOLS
DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS SAY
BUILDINGS ARE SAFE.

There is declared to be no occasion for
alarm as to the condition Of local school
buildings, Notwithstanding the fire dis
aster in Cleveland. Ohio. Yesterday. Such
is the opinion of the three District Com
missfoners, Although there are some
school buildings here of antiquated type
that could be bettered. the school struc-
lures Of Washington are considered equal
to any in the country. as far as SAFETY to
life and limb is concerned
Maj Morrow. Engineer Commissioners,
said today that while he regards the
schools as safe places for public assem-
bly,, he is of the opinion that they should
all be made fireproof as an extra precau-
ton.
Commissioner West is of the same
opinion as Mai Morrow regarding thu
freproofing Of all the local public schools
He said that as a matter of precaution
the Commissioners called for an inspee-
ton of all the schools In 1905. 1t dis
closed the fact that number OF schools
had wooden staircaseS. Whereupon the
Commissioners In their annual estimates
for the next fiscal year asked for an
appropriation sufficient to replace the
wooden staircases with iron stairs. Con.
gress appropriated $1,000 and iron cases
were placed in the Cook. Randall and
THOMPSON schools and the Van Buren,
annex.
Danger Is Minimized.
1.-THE Commissioners have been endeav-
oring for at least seven years to prevent
such conditions as seem to have had much
to do with the school disaster" Mr.. Mac
farland said, land I believe that the i'm
provements made, especially in having
doors swing outward. in having sufficient
exits. in providing fire fighting and fire es-
cape facilities. together with the careful
fire drill work Of our teachers, minimize

SECOND SCHOOL FIRE
GRAND RAPIDS PUPILS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, March g.
Grand Rapids today was threatened with
a repetition of Cleveland's tragedy Of yes
terday on an even larger scale. Fire broke
out in the laboratory of the Central High
School while 100 pupils were in the
midst Of the morning work. The signal
for the fire drill was given and the chill
dren marched out in perfect order. The
building was emptied in two and a half
minutes.
The Central High School is overcrowded
and the stairways inadequate and fears
of a possible panic have long been felt,
but the fire drill today proved effective.
The fire did comparatively little dam

fessional photographer had been taking
fashlight pictures in the corridor of the
high school few minutes before the fire
broke out. and the children had been
warned not to be alarmed. When the fire
alarm came and the drill began they
thought therefore that 1t was for another
picture and all of them marched out quiz
city.
The fire started below the floor Of the
chemical laboratory on the first floor, and
only quick action by the fire department
prevented a serious fire.

HELIX BANK HAS
NEW PRESIDENT
II. G. MONTGOMERY SUCCEEDS
l.. Il. SMITH IN OFFICE
Bank Makes Crc,litabIe showing
Will Erect New Concrete Block
Building - Declared Dividend of
Ten Per Cent.-DirectOrs Declare
Confidence in Bank Officers and
Give Vote of Thanks to T.. l.. Smith

At a meeting of the directors of
the Bank of Helix held in that town
yesterday r. G. Montgomery was
chosen as president of the bank to
succeed f. L, Smith, resigned. Other
officers chosen at the meeting were
as follows: F. H. Richmond. vice
president; a. b. Montgomery. cash
Ter; Carl Kupers, assistant cashier.
All of the old directors were re-elect-
ed with the exception of Il. l.. Smith.
whose place upon the board went to
n G. Montgomery.
The report of the condition of the
Helix bank showed a most creditable
state of affairs. A dividend of 10 per
cent. was declared and aside from
this a small amount was carried as
undivided profits.
At the meeting resolutions COM
mending the work of f. L. Smith as
president and of A. b. Montgomery
as cashier were passed. In addition
a vote of thanks was given Mr.. Smith
for the valuable work he has done
in behalf of the institution.
1t was also decided yesterday to
erect a modern little bank building
upon the site where the present bank
building stands. It will be a concrete
block building one story high and
with 25-foot frontage
The Bank Of Helix was organized
but few years ago and ever since its
organization its business record has
been good Many of the heavy farm |
ers Of the Helix neihborhood are in
terested in the institution and It is
as one Of the best little banks
in the county At the melting yester-
day the stockholders expressed much
satisfaction at the showing made by
the bank officers.

now known that Christmas is draw
ing nigh. The big rush is just start
ing and from this time until after
New Years the postoffice people will
be busy.
At present it is outgoing mail that
constitutes the bulk of the work
Scores Of packages are being sent
away each day to people in other
states and ntions. Naturally the for
eigners are the first to send out their
presents, as their packages have far
to go.
During the past week local Scandi-
navianS, Germans Greeks, and others
from countries where Christmas is
observed have kept the registry win
dow busy with their PACKAGE
Wrap Packages Securely.
According to the postal people
many are very careless about the
manner in which they wrap up pres
eHts that are sent awy. Some are
very poorly wrapped and insecurely
tied. Few of these packages ever
reach their destinations because in
the crush of the holiday business they
become battered to pieces If people
wish presents to reach their friends
in safety they should see to it that
they are properly Ncapped and tied
before mailing them.
Santa Claus Letters.
Already a number of Santa Claus
letters have made their appearance
at the local office. Filled with the
idea that old Santa Claus may be in
fluenced by advance appeals little
tots have written him in confidence
concerning what they desire.
Unless these letters are called for
by local parents they will all go to
the dead letter office.

Each day hereafter until the close
of the contest we will publish the list
of the contestants and their stand
ing. If your favorite does not stand
quite high enough to suit you, try a
10-year subscription to either paper
If you are a new subscriber it will
give $4,000 votes, if an old one it will
count 10000 votes.
A few 1O-year subscriptions would
make great showing for any boy or
girl Even the lowest would then be
the highest. You know the contest
is never over until all the votes are
counted.
The balance of this week we will
again double the votes on all subscrip-
tions taken. This bars none-not even
the 1O-year subscriptions. No votes
will be counted double the last two
days, however, as it will make too
much office work.
Remember this; four days of
doubling the votes and no more.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Feeding Pics.


When pigs are about six weeks old
I recommend feeding slop made Of
good shorts and oilmeal in the proper
ton of one part of oilmeal to four
parts of shorts soaked together be-
tween feeds. Oats would be better
ground for pigs. For breeding sows
and after narrowing Mr.. A. Selle of
Mequon, Wis, recommends a slop
made of ground corn, oats and mid
dlings mixed with stepped clover. Also
vegetables before being fed to hogs
should be either cooked or bruised
bruised being another name for grind
ing. George McKerrow of Sussex,
Wis, says: "As food for young pigs
we have found a mixed ration of 30
per cent middlings, 25 per cent corn
meal; Is per cent bran and 10 per cent
oilmeal wet up to a. creamy consisten-
cy and fed three times a day in such
quantities as they, will eat clean gives
the best results. AS they grow older,
at from five to nine months, we in
crease, the coHnmeal to so per cent, re-
duce the middlings to 25 per cent, keep
the. bran at 10 per cent and oilmeal at
10 per cent. W. Ingham In Chicago

A Hoop Game.

This game may be played by any
number. though only four at time
can take part, the others acting as
audience until their turn comes.
The four occupy four corners of q
room or space marked out on lawn.
AS large space as possible should be
chosen. Each player is provided with
a wheel or hoop. At given signal
all the players start at once to trundle
their wheels. No wheel must be drop
ped, or If 1t Is that player ceases to be
a contestant. The trundling begins at
the right. and each corner must be WIS.,
tied, and so on to the starting point Of
each player. He who reaches home
first is the prize winner or after all
have tried he who gets home in the
shortest time wins the prize. The hurry
and excitement of the four wheels WIS.,
iting at the same time cause much
merriment.
