MORSE DISCIPLINED;
 SENT TO DUNGEON,
Forced to Live Two Days on
 Bread and Water.

Because he defied Captain William H. Mover, warden of the United States penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga, and re- fused to speak civilly, Charles W. Morse, the banker, who is serving a fifteen year sentence, was, 1t is report ed,, made to spend two days in the prison dungeon
 Morse by his action also lost all right to "ttme off" for good behavior up to the day of his clash with the warden. His good behavior" suit was taken from him, and he was put into a uniform worn by refractory criminals
 Morse is said to have given money to one of the other convicts
 As it is against the rules for a con- vict in the prison to have any money in his possession, Morse was hailed before the warden and questioned con- corning the transaction. Morse, it is said, refused to reply to the warden's questions and grew so defiant that the warden ordered him searched.
 One hundred dollars in bills were found in his clothes and was taken from him. The warden then warned Morse that he had violated rule of the prison and was in danger of being degraded.
 Morse continued his defiant attitude, however, until finally the warden said:
 ''Mr. Morse, you may have been able to be insolent to others before you came here, but in this place I am your master, and you must answer civilly when 1 speak to you"
 Just what Morse's answer was could not be learned, but it enraged the warden to the extent that he ordered the ex-banker thrown into a cell known as "the dungeon" which is practically dark. For two days Morse was kept there and given nothing but bread and water.

IN A WORTHY CAUSE

On Tuesday evening, Sept. 20th, an opportunity will be given Eo the resi- dents and visitors in Sharon and vicinity to have the search-light of discovery thrown on 6 most fascinating mystery for their entertainment. On these clear autumn nights no one can gaze upward upon the stars without wondering "what they are, whence they came and where they go." Rev W. A. Mackey, pastor of the Sharon Methodist Episcopal Church, has for years been a close stu dent of the stars. It has for long time been his desire to possess a good modern telescope to further his studies and ena- ble him to impart his discoveries to others. Numerous friends of whom the writer is one have urged upon MT Mackey the propriety of giving a personal bene- fit lecture on 'The Biography of Star, '" the proceeds to be available for him to purchase telescope which would other wise be impossible of attainment for a long time. The lecture will be given in the auditorium of the Sharon Methodist Church and it will describe in a non- technical manner the process of birth, life, death and destination of the won- derous stars and suns that bedeck our skies, Tickets will be on sale a week or more in advance and it is believed that the villagers of Sharon and their friends will most enthusiastically cooperate in making this lecture both a benefit to themselves and to MT MaCkey.

Eighing Forest Fires
[Continued from page II

portion of the fire from the main wings. A part of the crew attacks the forward part aud others run down and extinguish the wings. The front of she fire. at. tackled from the sides, is forced gradually and constantly into a narrower path. Usually the front can be directed toward some cleared space, road. pond. stream, swamp or fire line when it will be checked enough to admit of a direct front attack. Sometimes by this plan the front may be rapidily narrowed by working from the side, until it is at last entirely extinguished. The plan of giving direction to the course of the fire has often been successfully carried out when the fighting crew is too small for direct attack.
 When fires gain such headway that, it is impossible to stop them by direct attack. no matter how numerous and efficient the crew or complete the equip ment for fighting, back flrsing becomes the only mean of stopping the fire It should, however, be used only when it is absolutely necessary. One of the commonest mistake in fighting fires is to overestimata the rapidity of tho fire and the difficulty of putting it out. A forest fire is always frightening spectacle, particularly if it is sweeping in the direction of ones own property. Men often become excited and start back fires when it is entirely unnecessary. Back. firing necessarily involves de- liberately burning over property. Whom this belongs to another person and one's own forest seems in danger, there is great temptation to sacrifice it.
 If it is found that fire is necessary, a favorable point is selected directly in front of the fire. from which to set the new fire. This must be a point where it is safe to start back fire, such as a road, fireline, stream or swamp. The leaves are ignited at points five feet to a rod apart for distance not greater than the estimated width of the head of the fire. These small fires gradually meet and form a continuous line, eating back against the wind. A part of the crew is stationed across the road or other break from which the back fire is started and put out at once the small fires which may result from the sparks blow over from the back fire.
 The meeting of the two fires stops at once the head of the main fire. It is usually possible then to attack the wings with the ordinary methods of fighting. It is necessary to attack the wings at once, particularly if there is a strong wind, for otherwise each wing of the old fire would soon form an in. dependent fire with a well-devslopsd head. It is necessary, also, that a number of men be stationed where the original fire and the back fire meet in order to extinguish smoldering fires in tops, logs and other debris"
 A fire is never out, uutil the last spark is extinguiShed. Often log or snag will smolder Hnnoticed after the flames have apparently been conquered, only to break out afresh with a rising wind. After the firs-fighting oraw has left the ground it is always we'll to assign at least one man to patrol the edges of the burned area until it is certain that the fire is entirely out. This may not be for several days.'
