FIRE LOSS
DIMINISHED ANNUALLY
Fire Prevention Squads OF
Uncle Sam Conduct an
Active Fight.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-With the
middle of September the fire season
on the national forests has come prac-
tically to an end with less damage
than ever recorded. There is always
some danger from carelessness of
campers or of settlers burning brush
and clearing land, but the real danger
season extends only from the middle
Of June until the middle of Septem-
Der.
Forest officers throughout the west
are congratuladng themselves on a
season so markedly free from heavy
losses. They feel that the immunity
from loss has been due to two princi-
pal causes, partly to a favorable seas
on, but largely to a much better or
ganization for fire prevention than has
been attained heretofore. The effect
iveness Of the organization is shown
particularly by the fact that while
there were in all approximately $3.50
fires, as against 2.470 last year, yet the

area burned so far this year is only
acres in 1912, and 7S0, 900 In 1911
A single administrative district,
which covers the intermountain re-
gion of southern Idaho, western Wy
oming, Utah Nevada, and Western
Arizona, gives an example of the most
favorable situation. Only 43 fires
were encountered, % of which origi.
mated in Idaho. The total area burned
over amounted to only $50 acres,
which is considerably less than four
observation-disclosures of the total
area patrolled by forest officers in
these states.
California, Arizona and New Mexico
have suffered most during the past
season.
The various causes of fires have not
changed greatly In their relative pro-
portions. Railroads and lightning
head the list, with campers next.
There has been, however. a marked
decrease in the number of fires caused
by burning brush. which, according TO
the forest officers, indicates a closer
cooperation with the settlers In and
near the forests and with cumberland
owners in fire prevention and control.
1t is still true, nevertheless, that a
large proportion of all fires started
are due to human agencies and may
generally be charged against careless,
ness. Fires caused by lightning are
of course not preventable, but the
system of lookouts by which they may
be detected Immediately after being
set Is greatly lessening the loss from
this source.

FUsILLADE OF BULLETS.

Louisville, Ky-The battle of bal
lots in the primary election held in
Owsley county ended in a battle of
bullets when two factions of citizens
met on upper Buffalo creek and opened
fire on each other, killing three men
and mortally wounding a fourth. The
fight began when Grover Gabbard and
Gilbert Harris met face to face on the
bank of the creek. The two men had
opposed each other on behalf of two
candidates in the primary, and a heat
ed quarrel arose over the result of the
election. Friends and relatives of
both men were near at hand when the
first shot was fired and they joined in
the battle. According to reports that
reached London, KY, shortly after the
killing, more than a dozen men used
revolvers in the tragedy. 1t is esti-
mated that more than 80 shots were
fired

81 teachers arose and pledged them

MuTToN TO BE SERVED.

Louisville, Ky.-Just how delectable
mutton may be is to be demonstrated
on Sheep Breeders day, Tuesday. Sep
TENDER is, at the Kentucky State fair,
when both the Kentucky and Indiana
Sheep Breeders association will hold
a conclave Miss Mcneil, of the de-
partment of home economics of Pur-
due university, will preside at the de-
monssration. She is a noted English
cuisine expert, and is said to possess
the ability to prepare mutton in style
that will be a revelation. On Sheep
Breeders day many sheep, donated by
the leading breeders, will have the
honor of being transformed into a
dish at the hands of Miss Mcneil.
The demonstration will be in conven-
ton hall Invitations have been issued
broadcast to sheep raisers of this and
other states and to hotel men and
home economic clubs of this state and
Indiana There will be numerous in
teresting and instructive talks on the
science of sheep raising, feeding and
preparation of foods by the best versed
and most widely experienced stockmen
OF the country. Sponsors for Sheep
Breeders day at the fair will be c. A.

Breeders association, and w. T. Chill

TUB, MATERIALS IN PLENTY
Among the Many offered There Is
Ample Opportunity for Selec-
ton of Pretty Frock.


The tub fre,ck has included wash
able voile in its materials this sum-
mer, and that dear old fabric has
arisen from its ashes more delight
fully useful and ornamental than ever,
and makes the prettiest frocks for
those who want something fairly thin,
washable, that will wear a decent
time, and which will look nice to the
end. The washing crepons, among
other popular materials, always look
smart If well cut and worn, while, in
my opinion, the most useful frock OF
all is of the handkerchief type, plain
cambria or batiste with little hem
stitched colored edges. 1t is extraordi-
nary how adaptable this type of frock
is; simplicity being the order, 1t can
be worn with the most country sort Of
hat, or by the addition of a not too
elaborate but smart sash and a cha
peau of more afternoon description
(still holding to the simple note). and
the possible finish of a friIled collar
and elbow cuffs, or set in old en-
broidered net or muslin, it can be
pressed into service for a far more
important occasion. All the foregoing
is to the address of the young person.

cAcHET FOR THE PETTIc0AT
Effect of Costume-Also May
Be Worn Around Bust.

The question of petticoats is a most
important one just now, for with the
narrow skirts and the lacy underslips
required by fashion, one wonders how
a girl is to acquire even that semi
clothed look that is rather expected Of
her, for her colored stockings will
show at the knees if she wears lace
petticoat, and there is no room for her
skirts-however, a band of ribbon
about six or seven inches wide can be
run on fat at the knees and will great
ly add to the effect of her costume. An
other wide ribbon may be worn
straight around the bust under the
arms and will bring out the lace bras
siere on top of her princess slip, and
in the uncorseted days, if the ribbon
be boned slightly at front and back,
may really be worn with a well-made
lace brassiere instead of a corset, if
one be Of the ultra slim figure that is

COMPROMISE VETOED BY MAYOR.

Louisville, Ky-A recent offer Of
compromise made by the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Co. in an
effort to bring to an end litigation with
the city of over one years duration, in
which the corporation agreed to return
to it's subscribers $4,000 collected
in excess of the telephone rate ordi-
nance and to build a one-nillion-dollar
Office building for the accommodation
of the Cumberland and Western Union
Telegraph Co., will likely be turned
down by Mayor Head. The chief
ground of objection will, it is believed,
lie in an amendment of the present or
dinance rate for party lines which is
demanded as part of the compromise.
The mayor also has expressed himself
as in favor of single telephone sys-
tenn by means of merger of the two
companies doing business in Louis
vile.
