GUARDING AGAINST WOOD FIRES

The national forester, Henry S.
Graves, calls upon the states to CO.
operate with the government in guard
ing the forests from destruction from
fire. He says.
There are a great many states
which have not yet undertaken to
meet the great question of forest fires
and good many states, which, while
they have recognized the problem by
having a system of fire wardens to
fight forest fires. have not yet under :
of the private owners are not doing
what they ought to do in the way of
fire protection. What we need now
is a much greater activity on the part
of the states in organized fire protec-
ton. This usually requires both legis-
lation and appropriations by the states
1t will never be possible to protect our
forests until the people are willing to
meet the cost 1t costs money to pro-
tect property in the city. 1t costs

WILL NOT LOSE HIS VOTE.
If Pennsylvania Repeater Uses the
Name First

The decision of the superior court
that qualified voters right to vote
is not destroyed by the fact that some
scoundrel was allowed to vote on his
name before him is an absolutely
righteous Judgment. The wonder is
that heelers have been allowed so long
to disqualify voters by simply beating
them to the polls and appropriating
their names. Judge Sta pies of Monroe
county, holding court in this city de-
cided in favor of the inalienability of a
veter's right last February and the
superior court sustains him in an en-
phatic and lucid opinion by Judge Rice.
This will not prevent PRESERVATION at
elections, but it will prevent the
double crime of first voting on another
mans name and, second preventing
the rightful voter from exercising his
constitutional right of suffrage. The
constitution defines the qualification

possessing them cannot be disqualified

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
FOR THE HAIR

eat peanuts and scatter the shells on
the floor of the sitting room.
Mr.. Sparks has been troubled with
bad cold all spring and it seemed to
be settling on his lungs and the way
ne coughed was ridiculous. He just
coughed all night long, SO nobody
could sleep and he tried all sorts of
medicines, and they all seemed to
make him worse. Even a mustard
plaster on his chest failed to draw the
cold out of him. although it did draw
out great deal of profanity. He was
pretty nearly desperate and so was
everybody in the house, no one being
able to sleep or have minutes peace
for his coughing.
Then along came an agent with a
sorrel horse and covered wagon. He
was selling family remedies of all kinds
and they all were made of barks and
roots and buds and such things and
he had one remedy that was guaran-
teed to break up a cold in one night
so Mrs. Sparks bought several bottles
and began giving the medicine to Mr.
Sparks in strict accordance with the
directions the bottle. Well, after
he had taken few doses Mr. Sparks
went to sleep and slept for three days.
when he had slept for twenty-four
hours the women became alarmed and
tried to rouse him. They tried every
plan they had ever heard of, even
pouring ice water over him, but Mr..
Sparks just lay there unconscious,
grinding his teeth in way to make
your blood run cold. Now and then
he recovered his speech and used such
language as my daughter hopes never
to hear again, but he never opened his
eyes and didn't know what was going
on.
Next day the distracted women
sent for the doctor and he worked for
several hours trying to wake that I'M
fortunate man, pouring all kinds of
drugs into him and putting ice on his
head and pinching him with tongs but
it was no use. Mr. Sparks was in a
conatose condition Until he got good
and ready to come out of it. He's on
his feet again, but his intellect seems
feeble and he won't talk of anything
but shooting agents. Sc it's no use

A DiTION.

1t is apparent enough now that the
law of demand and supply is not the
regulator of the price CT wheat.
The capacity of the Chicago e,eva-
tors is 31,000.060 and there are already
in storage 2S,000.000 bushels of grain
and the daily receipts are 5000
bushels. The question of storage ca
pacity thus becomes very acute and
the plan of pressing into service lake
barses to hold the surplus grain is
contemplated. If the price of grain
came down a few certs a bushel this
immense accumulation would speedily
be disu ibuted throughout the Ia nd
amorg consumers. No one can doubt
that peculation ard not a normal
CCE3ition of supply and demand, rules
the situation. This is a condition

What is woman's GROWING glory ?"

1T is beautiful head of hair. With
out such an adornment woman can

An Interesting Decision.

An interesting decision is that which
has recently been handed down by
Judge Williams in the superior court
relative to the claim of one Ezra d.
Kendall against the Society for Saw
ings. in Hartford. AS a result of the
decision, it looks as though the bank
would have to turn over to Mr. Ken
dali S,467.S5, with interest since June,
1910, this being the amount which has
grown from an orr ginal deposit of $25
but which Mr.. Kendall. up to the pres
ent time has been unable to secure
because of the burning of his bank
book in South Manchester, April -,
1909. 1t is stated that after the fire
he reported his loss and demanded the
money from the bank Offering to
prove the destruction OF the book, but
the bank would not pay him the money
without an indemnifying bond from
him. This ne refused to furnish, and
brought suit. The bank claimed that
Kendall signe the bylaws of the
bank to the effect that the money
should not be paid out except on pres
entation of the book. or in case of loss
of the book upon the furnishing of a
bond.
These by laws of the bank were
mooified few years ago, but the bank
holds Mr.. Kendall to the original
agreement, and TO this he has de-
INJURED, which demurrer has been sus-
tanned by Judge Williams in the SUI
perier court That is, the court has
evidently decided that the debt or the
bark to the claimant is legitimate and
that The wording of the original con-
tract docs not free the bank from its

kendalls money. 1t does not permit
the bank TO get something for moth

amount OF money Morris mentions in
his statement. S72.4o, II is exactly the
amount stolen from us.
1.-THE amount we were short following g
the hold-up was S72.40. Morris, how
ever, at one time in the trial, said about
$50. When I testified on the witness
stand that the amount taken from the
cash drawer was S72.40, I suppose Nor
ris heard and remembered and in his
statement inserts the exact amount
mentioned in my testimony, instead of
using the amount he had previously
mentioned.
"This showed that all he says is a con-
cocted lie of the rankest type. Why
didn't he say about $50. How did he
happen to have sewed in his clothing g
just what we were short?

but was found by civilian and extracted
from the ring when Morris threw the
rings away.
"f there were no other reasons to
brand Morriss statement q lie than that
he Is confessed murderer and thief,
1t is enough that no man OF his type and
apparent intelligence would attempt a
holdup as bold as he executed. knowing
the chances that he would be killed or
captured In the attempt with thousands
OF dollars worth OF diamonds In his
clothing. This is more apparent from the
fact that Morris had a pal. If they
worked together isn't ii reasonable to sup
pose the stolen loot which Morris alleges
to have had in his clothing would have
been divided between rhem?"
