KANSAS COMMENT
HOLIDAY FIRE HAZARDS.

HOLIDAY FIRE HAZARDS:
Fire insurance hazards multiply
during the holiday season, owing 70
special electical displays. Christmas
trees in stores and show windows, ana
a liberal use of cotton-snoW and other
infammable decorations. Every mer,
chant should be specially carefui
about fire hazards at this time, not
only because of the danger of inter-
fering with his trade at the most
profitable season of the year, but De
cause of his resp -4sibility to the pup
lie endangering the lives of the holt
day throngs. The most serious hazard
at holiday time is the Christmas tree
filled with lighted tapers and likely
electric wiring put up for special dis
plays. Trees should be installed so
The wires are frequently run over
turned, and electric lights should be
used in place of candles The latter
are always dangerous, especially after
the tree gets dried out in warm
room. Electric lighting fires are due
almost invariably to the practice of
allowing employees not familiar with
the electric hazard to install displays
in show windows and other places
The wires are frequently run over
nails, which wear off the insulation
and start blazes, cotton batting and
unsel are allowed to come into con-
tact with lamps and their receptacles,
and circuits are frequently overloaded
by special displays and thus made
dangerous. The boards of under
writers are glad to pass upon all holt
day electric lighting plans in order to
diminish the losses from fire, and
merchants generally should confer
with their insurance men and should
be certain that the electric wiring is
done by competent men, otherwise
they may impair their fire insurance
protection, as the policies provide that
if there is a material increase in haz-
ard, without permission, the insur-
ance shall be void. The holiday sea-
son Is a good time for merchants to
begin to enforce mo smoking rules,
and to be specially careful about the
all inf1ammable rubbish.-Parsons

THE BOY AND THE FARM.
The farming business is now coming to
point where it is generally recognized
as the most prosperous business going.
Offering the best future and the brightest
prospects. That being so there will be no
trouble about keeping the boy on the farm
for he will be keen to see that it is the
best place to make money, gain the re-
spect of his fellow and obtain that
standing among men, which is the ambi-
ton of every right minded boy. 1t is to
gain these things that he has heretofore
gone to the city; it is to gain these things
that he will hereafter stay on the farm
and will send the youths Of the cities to
join him. All he wants to know is as to
what pays best in the sum OF human
happiness and comfort and success. 1t is
now being demonstrated that in all these
things the farm offers the best oppor tunI-
ties.-Troy Chief.

Girl Dances to Death.

PASSAIC, N. j., Mar. 7.--"Please
play few more Dances" pleaded
Catherine Jarchone, 10 years old, to
leader of the orchestra at a dance on
East Side Tuesday morning. "The ball
has passed too quickly. l hardly kno !,
I've been dancing at all"
Miss JarchOne had danced the 20 or
more dances on the regular program,
but seemed as fresh as when she
started. The musicians would not ac-
cede to her request. The young WON.
an went to her home and asked her
mother to allow her to sleep u1 til
noon. Mrs. Jarchone went to the girls
room at noon and called her, but there
was no response. Catherine was dead.

No Reflection Intended,

Reference was made in yesterday
Star-Mirror to the sale of l. N Stien-
sma near Juliaetta, unwittingly re-
fiected on D. w. Barclay, who auc-
toned the sale. 1t was said that the
sale was rather slow and most of the
things went very low" The live stock
brought fine prices, one span of 1850
pound mares bringing $3.50, and five
brood sows $40 each. Some of the ma
chinery went cheap, which is usually
true of secondhand stuff, and the ap-
parent slowness at times was due to
the determined labors Of the auc-
tioneer to get for Mr.. Stiensma all his
stuff was worth. There was no in
tention of rejecting on Mr.. Barclay as
an auctioneer, although the report Of
the sale may have unintentionally led
some to believe that Mr. Barclay was
not competent.

very successful engagement in this

Mr.. Moore comes with even better
company than last year, and fine
line of new plays, and everyone will
be satisfied, as he has dramas, com
edies, comedy and also some
pretty society plays that require a lot

next November. The first measure to
be voted on throughout the state will
provide for single tax at the end of
four years. Under provisions of the
bill 25 per cent of the taxes against
personal property and improvements
Will be removed each year and like
percentage added to land tax The
second measure, which will be voted
OH in Multnomah, Coos, Umatilla,
Douglas and Clackamas counties, and
possibly others, will provide for the
removal of all taxation on
personal property and buildings.
In Washington and California the
single takers will try to secure the
enactment of the home rule in taxation

SINGLE TAKERS TO
MAKE FIGHT IN OREGON

PORTLAND, Mar. 8.-Undismayed
by the overwhelming defeat of the
single tax amendment in the Seattle
municipal election, leading single tax
ers here today declared the temporary
setback would have no effect on the
propaganda on the Pacific coast and
that single tax campaign would
soon be in full swing in Oregon, Wash
ington and California.
With home rule in taxation already
an accomplished thing in Oregon,
fight for the enactment of statewide
single tax legislation has just been
launched here by H. D. Wagnon and
other prominent proponents of the
single tax and home rule in taxation
schemes.
Two bills, state and county meas
ure, toward this end will be brought

HEAVY DECREASE
IN BEE COLONIES
(From Idaho Country Life)

The census of 1910 shows de
crease of almost 100000 colonies Of
bees on the farms Of the United States.
There is also considerable decrease
in the number of farms reporting
bees. Since bee keeping is one of the
important and profitable minor
branches of agriculture, this decrease
among farmer bee keepers is unfortu-
nate. No returns are available for bee
keepers in towns and cities.
Bee keeping is fast becoming the
business of the specialist and the num-
Der of men who devote their entire at
tenticn to the business is rapidly in
creasing. However, there is no rea-
son why the average farmer can not
keep few colonies of bees to supply
honey for home consumption with
perhaps some surplus for sale in good
years.
The United States Department of
Agriculture attributes most Of the re-
ported decrease to the brood diseases
of bees which are now found widely
distributed in the United States. The
department has knowledge of these
diseases in about twenty per cent of
all counties in the United States.
Where disease exists bee keepers often
lose colonies and attribute their loss
to some other cause.

Just think of really and truly being

AT LEAST, IT IS SAID LINK Is
PARTIAL TO THE PLAN

If some one don't stop spreading

spring anything like this last one which
says that John Efinger is going to be
the Link McCandless nominee for mayor
of the biggest city in the world, to wit,
Honolulu and that "Our Joe" Fern is
going to run for sheriff. There is a
loud silence about the Democratic in
cumbent of the sheriff's Office, William
p. Jarrett, and if Link will not stand
for that rumor, then the discharged po'
licemen who gather round his banner
have got to, for It comes out of the
MeCandless camp.
While McCandless himself Is said 10
have emulated the happy little oyster
when the matter was put up to him
straight and even been 30 cautious as
10 say he knew nothing about il, the
John EflingeT TumOr has made quite a
hit with the political seandal-mOngers,
They say that Efilnger's jump from the
