MONTE VISTA SUFFERS
FROM FIRE EPIDEMIC

With wild and weird shrieks,
the whistle at the Light plant an.
nounced the presence of the fire
fiend early Monday morning, after
it had gotten under tremendous
headway.
Owing to a slip-shod arrange
ment with the Light plant. pend
ing the installation of a telephone
line, it was nearly thirty minutes
after the central operator was not
fled before the alarm was sounded.
By this time the flames were pour
ing from the roof of the two-story
frame residence property owned by
Mrs George L. Cornville on Euclid
avenue, occupied by H. w. Hulett
and family. A lurid glare lit the
sky in the east part of town and
no street number was necessary to
locate the confagration.
The fire engine was pulled by a
half dozen men to the scene, and
the futllity of this sort of locomo-
ton for fire any distance from
the Town hall was ably demon
strated. Hose carts followed a
short time after, and still later the
ladder wagon was brought out by
auto. The absence of any fire well
in the neighborhood made it nee
essary to tap the main lateral of
the sewer, which at this point car
ries good strong stream of water.
Two lines of hose were quickly
laid and with we'll directed efforts
the fire was kept from spreading
to nearby homes. By its handi-
cap the fire ate the interior of the
building and practically all of the
roof, two walls and part of third
still standing.
The fire is supposed to have
originated from a defective chin
ney in the kitchen where a fire
had been started to heat water for
washing. 1t was first discovered
by Mr.. Hulett who had gone out
doors for bucket of coal, and saw
fire bursting from the kitchen roof
He Immediately telephoned to the
central Office for help.
The household goods were near
ly all saved from the first floor,
but little was removed from the
second story. Insurance on the
building will probably cover half
the loss on the dwelling.
The fire apparatus had not been
returned to the Town hall before
second fire was noticed in the old
Valley house. This was discovered
in time to extinguish the flames
before any damage was done.

Without it, there can be no con-
tinued prosperity for the dweller
on the farm nor for the people who
live in the city.
While the eyes of our neighbors
are turned on us in the matter of
beet culture, it would be we'll to
give the crop this year quite a few
moments of careful study.
If customer brings us a job of
ordinary printing and we turn him
down for the reason that we feel
we are unable to do the work, we
admit, in effect, that we do not run
a print shop.
Should a farmer make failure
on one crop of beets, and at that
being his first experience with the
crop, and then throw up his
hands" and state that his land will
not grow beets, he advertises one
of two things, either he is not a
farmer or his land is not what the
San Luis valley has won by hard
work, namely the reputation of
having the best soil out of doors.

are as follows: j. j. Sylvester Is

GREAT SUCCESS CONTINUES

We are glad to hear that the
Tyler Commercial College is CON
tin, inc to meet with great sue
cess, ard that it's January at
tendance has been the largest IN
the history of the school.
This institution has as it's head
a thoroughly experienced pusl-
ness man: he has not only had
twenty years experience IN hand
ling commercial schools, but has
had much valuable business eX-
perience in other lines, and IS to-
day identified with number OF
Texas greatest business enter
prises. Our people realize that
thorough business training
comes from one who possesses
business ability and business
experience. This is proven by
the fact that this institution is
the largest school of Bookkeep-
ing Business Training, Short
band, Typewriting and Telegra-
ply in America. They use their
own speciallyprepared text books
in almost every department, text
books prepared from the stand
point of what the business world
demands. rather than that OF the
theoretical school room. Some
merchants are able to do twice
the business of others, with the
same capital invested, This is
due to the difference of the meth
DDS of the two men. The same
is true of business colleges; the
reason that one secures a larger
patronage, gives a more thorough
training, places more of its grad
yates into high salaried positions
is becauseofits superiormethods.
We will be glad to see our am
bilious young men and women

WHEN WOMAN WAS SOLDIER
David Lloyd-Georse Says That Her
Reputation In Battle Stands
Very High.

They say you cannot make good
soldiers out of women. You have
never tried. There was race at
one time, believe, that had an army
of women, and its traditional repute
in history stands very high. The
women gave up the job; they thought
it was better suited to the intellect of
men. But after all, men, of course,
are better for some tasks women are
better for others equally important.
Men make the better soldiers, women
make the better nurses. After all,
the healing of wounds is a nobler
work than inficting them. What is
more, it demands higher qualities
of brain and heart.
War, after all, is not a permanent
institution. Heaven forbid that it
should be. The duel is vanishing,
and | think you will see w2r reced-
ing along the same dark road. And
if women by their presence on the
register, saved us from the infamy
of single war they would have JUS
tilted their vote before God and man.
And when women get the vote, not
merely here, but on the continent,
for the movement is not confined to
