FIRE PREVENTION DAY

Hon. Francis E. McGovern, the
governor of our state, has by proc
lamation designated May 1st as
FIRE PREVENTION DAY" as
we'll as "Arbor and Bird Day." He
concludes his proclamation by u.s.
ing the following language: But
while thus recognizing the value of
the beautiful we must not overlook
the Importance of security. Hence
this day is also designated as Fire
Prevention Day; and | recommend
that it be set apart by all as a day
for clearing away any unsightly
rubbish and disposing of all infiam.
mable material that may in any
way add to the risk from fire."
Few persons, in all probability,
realize the extent to which there is
a direct responsibility for fire. Oft,
entimes the origin of the fire is IN
known, and not infrequently the
cause is laid to spontaneous com
bustion. Yet the chances are that
if the facts were known it would
not be difficult to establish a human
agency for the starting of the fire
If -carelessness of this sort could be
stopped, the majority of fires would
never start.
One of the most fruitful sources
of fire is in the waste heap. Of
course, a waste heap of itself is
never going to set anything afre;
but it can offer a mighty big assis-
lance. And it is through such as
sistance, often, that the fire proves
so destructive.
Some n throws a cigar stub or
a Gig irette into a pile of waste and
proceeds to forget about the Incl
dent. Even when the iremen ar
rive, it is doubtful if the throwing
away of the lighted Smoke" is
called to mind as being the origin
of the blaze.
Perhaps some one lights a lamp

TIRE REPAIRING

1 wish to say to automobile own
ers that I am now ready to repair
tires. I think my experience last
season will be a great help to me
in handling the work more eff
GENTLY as a whole and in turning
out a higher grade of work. Iun-
derstand however that the very
best shops in the city often turn
out defective work and this must
necessarily be true, for it is i'm
possible to tell a good job from
a poor one except by test
I will guarantee my work to be
up to the city standard and at a
lower price.
Please bring in your work when
you first notice it needs to be
done. Believe me the holes never
will get any smaller by use.
Punctures in inner tubes repair
ed for Csc and up.
Sand holes, blisters, etc., in cas-
ings, repaired for 25c and up.

steadily from SIS, &c., 600 in 1891 to
$6,668. 900 in 1912. The cash changed
naturally from year to year; the
largest amount recorded being S.
162, 900 in 1912
No sinking-fund assets, as such,
were recorded in any year; thus
leaving The debt (less sinking fund
a~ssets) the same as the total debt.
There was a slight decrease in
the debt of the state during the 80.
year period, and a marked increase
in the populations; the two move
ments combining to bring about a
substantial decrease in the per cap
tia Indebtedness.
In 1880 the total debt of Wiscon-
sin at the close of the fiscal year,
June 80. was 81, 462, 600; in 1891 it
was So, PIT 900. In 1904 it fell to
So, PSI, 900, and remained unchanged
during the rest of the period. The
population of the state increased
from 1,315,000 in 1880 to 2,420, 900
in 1913, being sufficient to appreci-
ably affect the reduction Of the per
capita debt. In 1880 the per capita
debt was $1.87; in 1891 it fell to
$1.3l, decreasing constantly until
1918, when it amounted to SO 90.
In contrast with the state of Wis
consin, we find that, taking the en-
tire debt (less sinking fund assets)
for the 48 states, the per capita
debt, according to the latest report,
is So. 50, or So SO more than the per
capita debt for Wisconsin. Com
pairing the decrease in the per capt.
ia debt of Wisconsin and the Is
states for the 30.year period, we
find that S. 48 fell to $3.52 in the
average for the 48 states, and $1.87
to so SO in Wisconsin.
At the present time about 2.5
per cent of the total population of
the United States will be found in
the state of Wisconsin, and or per
CEN of the total debt (less sinking
fund assets) is attributed to that
state.

Looking over published statis-

ceive startling conclusions. 1t
must be understood that these
statistics are ascertained by the
Internal department of
the government and are accurate.
The revenue officers do not guess
at figures as many of the temper
ance lectures do.
Reports of the government show
that more liquor was sold last
year than in any previous year.
The number of gallons of beer
alone consumed in the country
last year was 65,245,5 44 as against
62,108, 633 for 1912 notwithstanding
the fact that in the last three
years $4,000 saloons were closed,
that nine states have drastic laws
of statewide prohibition, and that
local option in most of the other
states show u per cent Of "dry"
territory. In the face of the pas
sage Of laws to prevent the use OF
alcoholic liquors statistics show us
that the use of it increases. In
1850 the per capita consumption
was 4.O8 gallons; it rose to CAB in
1860, to TO in 1870, to 1908 in 1880,
to 1853 in 1890, to 1916 in 1900, to
21.86 in 1910, to 21.98 in 1912 and
last year to 22.66 gallons. AS more
than one half the people use no
liquor the other half. consume
double the amount allowed to the
per capita population, something
like so gallons each. There are
$4,000 retail liquor dealers in the
United States. 1t seems that four
teen states, mostly in the East,
have had prohibition laws and re-
pealed them, but many of these
have local option laws.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

attractive number of the program
was a paper entitled THE Modern
Chronicle" presented by Messrs.
Irwin Davidson and Archie Morrow.
The High school was defeated in
a game of baseball at Galahad last
Saturday by a score of three to two
High school would get two or three
men on bases every inning, but was
unable to run up a large score.
High school got seven hits off Gala
had, while Galabad made only four
hits. Chapman and Lowe were the
stars of the game by their good bat
ting and field work. When High
school has a week or SO more of
practice, Galahad will have to move
to defeat them.
Twenty-Five students have joined
the Tennis Club and two courts are
now provided.
Arbor Day will be observed Fri
day. Appropriate exercises will be
held, trees planted and the grounds
cleaned up. Bird study will be the
chief interest in this years exercises.
Public debating has been revived
and last week teams from this
school met teams from Hudson and
New Richmond. The fact that we
have lot had an in~ter-school deba e
for some years past may account
for our losing to Hudson. Much
iaterest was shown by the student
body and we hope to put the school
on the map next year in debate
work.

"NO CHARGES AGAINST BURKE

Misleading headlines and carless read
ing of the story in the Chicago Tribune
and from other sources have given rise
to the talk that there are charges
against John Burke, treasurer of the
United States. People sometimes suffer
from carelessly written orcarelessly read
articles and sometimes from headlines
in newspapers which are not justified by
the story beneath them. Nothing in the
facts seem to jugtlfy any criticism of
John Burke Just before he came into
the office of treasuter, the system of
bookkeeping was changed ana it is
claimed the new system is unsatisfac tory
and defective, producing a serious con-
ditIon.
The Courier News holds no brief for
John Burke but it believes in fair play.
1t is the treasury department and the
system inaugurated by his predecessors
that is under fire, not Burke, according
to the story of the Tribune.-Fargo

game and finally the referree either
knew not that he had right to be
impartial or else he was too long away
| from the game to understand the art of
officiating. Any home team should win
on its home floor under the circum-
stances. A contest of this kind can always
be repudiated in preparation for
tournament, Yet Park River claims
that it has a better floor than Langdon.
| The girls teams were evenly matched
| the playing favoring Langdon slightly.
In spite of this Langdon lost because
the referee called fouls when baskets
were being made. These should be
counted but the gentleman called them
"oi'', One should not only have count
ed but more than that the River team
should haye been penalized additionally.
The score was s to 3 at the close of the
game but according to fairness our girls
should have won by score of to 6.
Our ''tives' do not feel sore because
they know that the superintendent and
the people Of Park River wanted to and
did treat them royalty Every conve-

OF the minor matters no one has a right
to complain. 70 play a fair contest
