A TREMENDOUS WASTE.

"Our losses by fire are an average Of
three theaters, three public halls,
twelve churches ten schools, two hos
pitfalls, two asylums, two colleges. six
apartment houses, twenty-six hotels,
three department stores, two jails, 14O
fiat houses and 1000 dwellings every
week Of the year"
This vivid summary Of the fire waste
in the United States comes from f.
w. Fitzpatrick Of Washington. d. c.,
secretary of the National Builders and
Inspectors association. More startling
stin is his statement that there are
barely ten buildings in the United
States that are fully and completely

us back $95,OOO.O 900 in paid losses. In
brief, our fires cost US fully, 100000

With a feeling of fancied security
people have become Injured to their
danger in inhammable buildings. he
continues, "and display a grievance

or killed in fires last year. and $3.50

$4,000 persons narrowly escape from

THE NECESSARY WARNING.

The discovery Of a new species of
Garth worm may awake but languid
interest in the laymans mind, yet
those minute studies of the humber
works of nature that result in bring
ing to light previously unrecognized
inhabitants Of the soil really possess
a very high degree Of interest, since
they often indicate unsupported pro-
cesses wherein the earth is kept in u
Usher of man.
Darwin surprised the general read
ing public by his revelations of the
indispensable role played by the hum

turned over and over again by the la

When. however. Darwin discovered
the Importance of the work done by
worms. he was not aware of the exist

cies I'm Great Britain. Now, owing to
the labors of students who have de-
waited their time to the study OF earth
worms in that country, at least twen-
ty different species are known. and a
vast amount Of interesting information
has been gathered concerning their
character and habits.
IL might be thought that there is
not much difference among worms,
but as n matter of fact there is far
more difference than exists among
many more pretentious forms of ami

worms that climb trees, and others
that never leave the ground; worms

State Politics

Charles A. Nichols. chairman of the
Roosevelt for president organization in
Michigan has sent a letter to Gerrit j.
Diekema, President Taft's Michigan
manager, urging Diekema to help in
the work for a presidential primary.
so that people may express themselves
on presidential choice.
The letter follows:
Hon. Gerrit ]. Diekema, Holland,
Mich:
Dear Sir:-Having learned through
the press that you are about to as

this communication to you in the hope
that your valuable assistance may be

Dental primary in this state at once so
that there may be n free expression on
the part OF Michigan Republicans as
to their performance In the nomlna-

Thousands of loyal Republicans
throughout Michigan believe that
Theodore Roosevelt ought TO be their
leader this year. 1t is claimed that n
majority of our party favor the ex-
president, and yet at the same time
we hear the astonishing admission
that Michigan may send her delegates

representative I'm Michigan, seek only

respectfully appeal TO you 70 publicly
declare your attitude toward the pro-
posed enactment by the Legislature,
now In extraordinary session. of a
presidential primary, to take imfne-
Giatc effect. and i'm that manner refuse
the insinuations that have been made
that Mr. Taft's friends oppose the pri-
mary plan and also that when the con-
test is over, IT cannot be said that Re
publicans were cheated out of an OPP

any Injustice would be done by imme-

people Of their rights by technical In

hunting for trouble with Japan. There
are few who are looking for serious
