MOONEY PLANS A CAMPAIGN OF
 FIRE PREVENTION Will Deputize Captains of Companies as MarshaIs With Full Power to Make Orders Card Index Will Show Location of Build. ings and the Best Way to Fight
 Fire in Each.

Chief Edward Mooney is perfectfng a method whereby every fifS@company thorough knowledge of the conditions surrounding every building in districts where his company responds on the first and second alarms.
 Under the state laws the chiefs of fire departments are given powers to deputize any competent person with the duties of fire marshal and to cloak them with the necessary authority to make inspections The chief will de- putize every captain in the depart ment.
 For the keeping of a record of the conditions and to become thoroughly acquainted with the character of the building a card index system will be installed Each captain will keep a card for his own use. forward one to the chief of the department and pre- pare cards for the use of the captains whose captains answer alarms in their districts.
 Each card will bear a description of the building. its use. the nature of its contents. the type of construction. To- cation of its entrances. location Of elevator shafts. position of fire es- capes. location of the stairs. In addi- tion the captain will describe how a fire in the building can best be fought: will describe how the building Is ex- posed by other buildings and whether a fire in it could be fought from the roof of adjoining buildings.
 The cards will, be out in a few days and the system will be put in opera tfon st once Each cantain will have an inspection district of his own and there is no doubt that in addition to the education of the hremen as to conditions throughout the city the thorough inspections will lessen the fire hazards and do much to cause the cleaning of backyards and cellars where rubbish and refuse has been al- lowed to collect.
 Each deputy fire marshal will have the power to order premises cleaned out without reporting coalitions to the fire marshal.
 The idea is in pursuance with the plans of the fire prevention organiza- tion mapped out at a. meeting of fire chiefs and fire department heads at New Haven a year a>o. Chief Egan. of the state police department is now the state fire marshal. and the State Association for Fire Prevention has planned. through legislation passed by the last general assembly. to secure the support of the state police force in enforcing fire prewention regulations in all towns and .citiaF.

FIREMEN'S MONEY MUST BE USED FOR
 FEED FOR HORSES
Rise in Price of Feed and Slash in
 Requisition.

There is to be a deficiency of a few hundred dollars in the fire department this year due to the increase in the price of feed which has gone up 20 per cent and the fact that the board of apportionment did not grant all the money asked for the feeding of norses.
 this morning: We will be short in our appropriation to feed the horses but we win have a balance in our salary account of about s2.300. We know how much it costs to feed each horse in the department and made an accurate request to tie board of ap- portionment for feed
 They reduced the amount and since then the price of feed shas gone up. Before the end of the fiscal year we will have to ask the council to ap- propriate enough money to feed the horses or to allow us to use the bal ance in the salary account to pur- chase feed"

Special from United Press.) )


 Paterson. N. J., Nov 22.-In a crit ical condition as a result of her dive from the second story window of a fire ruined building where she had been dragged by four men, 15-year-old Ma mic Sullivan today gave the police the names of her assailants and the entire police force. joined by a throng of in dignant citizens. turned out to search for them. The girl is terribly injur- ed, and for a time her life was despair ed of.
 Miss Sullivan claims she recognized the men who attacked her. one of them being a man who lives near her home.
 The girl was bound and gagged and carried to the wrecked building where she made a desperate struggle to free herself from her captors. She suc- ceeded in slipping the blindfold from her eyes. but was soon overpowered. Her assailants left her alone for a mo- ment and she groped her way to a window. Bound, gagged and blind folded she threw herself to the side walk two stories below where she was found unconscious by persons passing by.

ANTITRUST LAW
 PRONOUNCED BAD
This is What Oil King Archbold Says
 of Sherman Measure.
IT MUST BE AMENDED
Special from United Press.)

NSptCldA AIOIn E-EGSS-l
 New York, Nov. 22--John D. Arch bold of the Standard oil company said today that the appeal to the United States Supreme Court from the deci- sion in favor of the government in it's suit to dissolve the Standard will un- doubtedly be given precedence over other cases now before the supreme court. On arriving at his office today Archbold said that a coneference would be held during the day between the officials of the company and their legal advisers to determine what steps should, be taken as the result of the decision. He said H. M. Elliott, head counsel, would probably issue state ment later in the day defining the company's position
 We have got to do business" said Archbold, and the quicker our rights are defined by the Supreme Court of the United States, the better. We sim ply want to find out as soon as pos sible just what our rights and privi- leges are."-
 Archbold said that he thought the decision would serve to hasten the amendment of the present Sherman Antitrust law "The sherman law, said Archbold. "is generally regarded by all business men as a bad law I think the officials at Washington have now come to the same conclusion"
 Even MT. Roosevelt was convinced that the act was a pernicious one if carried out to the letter. The deci- sion of the circuit court in our case would form the basis for the dis@olu- ton of not only the principal indus trial corporations of the country but would even also restrain business of the co-partnership.
 It was evident from Archbold's man. ner that he is Of the opinion that the questions raised by the decision will result in a general overhauling of the Sherman antitrust law so as to per init the continuance of combinations In business under more stringent ccn- ditions than are contained in the pre- sent law. He concluded by saying that the Standard oil Company was anxious to ascertain at the earliest possible moment just what sort of business methods it would be permitted to use and to arrange its affairs in compliance with such rules as may be laid downby the supreme court

HOW FIRE HURTS THE FIELD
The Burning of Vegetable Matter Is
a Loss of $4.4O Per Acre in
FertiliZing Material.

OF course the greatest loss sus-
tanned through the burning of vege-
table matter which should be mixed
with the soil is the loss of the hui
mus-forming materials; but the act
ual loss in plant food is also worthy
OF serious consideration. The phos-
phorus and potassium contained in
the vegetable matter are not destroy
ed by burning, for these D2ineral
plant foods remain in the ashes, but
the nitrogen which our soils need
most is driven off into the air and
lost.
We repeat that the greatest loss
is the destruction of the humus-
forming materials, but let us see just
what the loss of nitrogen amounts to
When ton of crabgrass, broomsage
or cornstalks is burned. If the ma
terial burned be Japan clover or
/ other legumes, the loss of nitrogen
is much greater. A ton of crabgrass
nay contains about % pounds of nj
trogen, and this is worth 20 cents a
pound, which gives it a value of
$40. ton of crabgrass hay, and
frequently much more than a ton of
crabgrass and other materials equal
ly rich in nitrogen, is often burned
off each acre. That is, for each acre
we burn over we may easily destroy
$40 worth of the very plant food
our soils need most.
, We are slow to accept such state
ments as facts, because the blowing
under of these materials does not
give immediate evidence of any such
value to be obtained from the plow-
ing under of such a quantity of corn
stoYer or crabgrass. That is, more
| benefit to the first succeeding crop
would be obtained from the applca-
| ton of $500 worth of cottonseed
meal than from blowing under a ton
of corn stalks. This is undoubtedly
so, but the effects of blowing under
| humus-fOrming materials are not
! alone measured by the nitrogen they
contain, and are not limited to the
! first year. 1t is this working for
immediate results alone that has
! brought our soils to that degree of
infertility represented by an average
yield Of 200 pounds of lint cotton
and Is bushels of corn per acre. Nc
rich land ever became suddenly I'M
productive, nor can a depleted soil
be economically built up to a high
degree OF fertility in one or two
years. From these facts we should
learn that farming lands for this
years results exclusively, while
sometimes necessary, if persisted in is
certain to lead to soil depletion and
finally to agricultural and financial
bankruptcy.-Raleigh On. c. Pro

When and How to 'Lay-By" Cotton

rapid and shallow. Use no instru-
ment that tears up the little white
root-hairs. Never practice the bar
barous methods of using a turn pillow
to lay-by with. No up-to-date farm
er will be guilty of such blunder
Whenever you see a so-called farmer
laying-by cotton with a turn pillow or
any other tool akin to it he is gen.
orally trying to hide multitude of
sins in the shape of crab grass, the
result of former improper cultiva-
ton. Always lay-by the cotton as
nearly level as practicable. 1t will
suffer less by drouth and no more by
wet Any good cultivator with
sweeps will do the work effectively.
Land so wet that ridge farming has
to be resorted to had better be plant
ed in some other crop.
1t is never too dry to pillow cotton.
1t is always hurtful to pillow when
wet. Perhaps this is, next to the inn
proper preparation of the land, the
most costly mistake cotton farmers
makes. H. Hobbs in Raleigh IN.
