CHRISTMAS TREE DISASTER.

Light, inflammable decorations on a
Christmas tree make fires easy to start
and easy to spread A match or defec-
tive wiring may do it and cause loss
of life. Don t change the wiring with.
out consulting the electrician.
Eight children were seriously burned
at Portland, Oregon, last week, when
short circuit set fire to Christmas
tree and trimmings. A flash from the
wires spread to the tinsel ON the chill
dren and the tree. There were "a chill
dren on the stage dressed in Santa
Claus costumes. A tragedy would have
resulted but for one Of the pupils jump
ing to the stage and rolling the burning
children on the floor 20 extinguish the
flames, a feat he had learned during
fire instruction talk by one Of the
fire department officials to the pupils.
DO not decorate the tree with paper,
cotton or other inflammable material.
Use metallic timsel and non-inflam-
mable material only. Set the tree SO
that children cannot capsize it in reach
ing for things. Do not use cotton to
represent snow. Use asbestos fiber.
Do not permit children to light the
candles. They frequently set fire to
their clothing. The tree itself will
burn when the needles are dry. Do
not leave matches within reach of chill
dren during the holidays. Candles are
meant to lie lighted and if children can
get matches they will experiment with
them. They initiate their elders.

Indicate that seeding operations have
been carried on with activity, the chief
obstacle commended with having been
the disturbed state of labor brought
about by war.
Additional reports received during
the past month concerning the 1914
world harvest show that the shortages
in some countries, as compared with the
previous year, were larger than shown
in earlier estimates. Though no detail.
ed official figures have been published
the crop of France is stated on authori-
ty Of the French Department of Agri-
culture to be between 100000 and
300, 900, 900 bushels, an estimate CON-
monty construed as indicating pro-
able yield of about 5000, 900 bushels.
The Italian crop, according to the final
official figures, amounts to 169, 100000
bushels, 100000 bushels less than the
preliminary estimate. Prussia reports
yield 100000 bushels below that of
last year, and Roumania returns less
than half crop. A second official
estimate on the Canadian crop puts the
yield at 15s, 223,00 bushels, as compared
with previous one of 159, 100000 bush
els. Deficient yields, as compared with
those of 1913, are also reported from
the less important producers, Belgium,
Denmark, and Switzerland.
The aggregate shortage of wheat this
year, as compared with last, in all
countries from which returns have been
received up to date is over 3S6,000,000
bushels, that in Europe alone amount
ing to 323,OO0,O0O. The complete total
from all countries, however, is not yet
available.

DAUGHTER IN 1.souBLE ZONE.

ihe European war seems to be caus
ing disturbed business conditions in
every section of the world, letter re
ceived this week by, the Hon. Robert
Neil frim his daughter, Mrs. P. X.
Horner, who is residing with her hus-
band in the Belgium Congo of Africa,
states business is at standstill there
on account of the European trouble.
Mrs. Horner's husband, who is high
salaried engineer in the employ Of an
English mining syndicate, operating a
smeltery in connection with its mine in
the Congo country, has found it neces-
sary to shut down on account of his
furnace men, who were practically all
Germans, having been imprisoned by
the government until after the war. The
Belgiums. who constitute the balance of
his skilled help, have been drafted into
service and are part of the allied force
invading German South Africa. Some
100000 pounds of copper, which was
Consigned to Germany, was, through
the efforts of Mr.. Horner, seized and
thus prevented from falling into the
hands of the German government. Mrs
Horner states that while they have lit
tie fear of invasion on the part Of the
Germans, should such a thing come to
past they will unfurl the stars and
stripes and seek protection of the coed
old u s. A. of which country they are
both citizens. Mr.. Neil had not heard
from his daughter for some time and
was more than glad to hear of her
safety.

Rumors About Report.
The Ramstedt report, it is said Will
play conspicuous part in the coming
investigation. It was a week ago piac-
cd in the hands of the gov ernor VINO
announced last Saturday that he would
not be able to decide on releasing the
renort until he had carefully gone over

brought to bear on the governor to pre-
vent the full publication of this report,
due to its contents. Examiner Ram
stedt' IS instruction from the governor
as well as the instruction given Exami-
ner Gleason at the time they took up
their respective examinations of the
treasury department were to shield no
one. It is understood that the Ram
stedt report followed these instructions
to the letter. Governor Haines an
nounced at the time the exposure was
made in the treasury that as soon as
the facts in connection with the steal
became known he would give the fullest
publicity to them.
The fact that the Ramstedt report
has been filed with the governor ex-
cited great deal Of interest over the
state and tie reports that have been
current with reference to it have added
to this interest.
Come as Surprise.
The action taken in the petition for
a grand jury probe late Saturday Morn
ing by the county attorney into the
treasury steal to determine definitely
whether or not other besides Allen were
involved in the looting of the vaults
Of the state, and the decision of the
governor later to place the Ramstedt
report into the hands of the prosecutor
came as a surprise.
The grand jury investigation will
start on the day that the new legisla-
ture opens its session. The call has
aroused statewide interest. It had been
intimated that grand jury investiga-
ton would be asked for by the incom-
ing governor. The application yester-
day forestalls such action for the grand
jury will be in session while he is gov,
ernor.
May Result in Disclosures.
It is claimed that there is evidence
in possession of the official that's may
result in some startling disclosures in
connection with the grand jury invcsti-
cation and all of the details in con-
nection with the looting of that depart
mont showing everyone directly or in
directly involved, will come to light.
There has been widespread suspicion
that there is more to the steal than
has been published and the investiga-
ton will determine if Allen alone was
responsible or others are involved and
if they are not will exonerate those who
are intimated to be under suspicion.

WHEAT BRINGS BEST PRICE

now being finished under suspicious cir
cpmstances in British India. In the
southern hemisphere seeding was com
pleted before the war began, and the
effect of present economic conditions
upon extensions Of areas there will be
manifest only in the spring and summer
Of 1915. 1t is pertinent to note, how
ever, that the extent Of land now under
wheat in Argentina for the approach
ing midwinter harvest is, owing to a
wet seed time 10000 acres less than
that Of last year and that the growing
Australian crop has been SO reduced by
drought that there will be little or none
for export. The promise of Argentina,
notwithstanding the reduced acreage, is
for total yield much in excess Of that
Of last year.
In Europe, where ordinarily over half
the worlds wheat is produced, the in
dications are that all available re-
sources, in both neutral and contending
nations, will be utilized to the utmost
Tor getting in full or increased areas.
A wide extension of sowings in some
countries is assured. In Italy, whose
wheat acreage is ordinarily second in
extent to that of no State in Europe,
excepting Russia, 100000 acres, it is
SAID, will be added to the crop. In the
eontending countries reports indicate
snat notwithstanding the dearth of
customary farm labor caused by the
wal, extraordinary efforts are being
e1erted in autumn seeding. The service
or women and children, men exempt
'fom military service, refugees, prison
ers Of war, and soldiers temporarily re-
neVed from the ranks are being utilized
II sne FIELDS as occasions permit and re-
qolre. Because Of strained labor con
al'lons and of the occupation of certain
.efntory during seedtime by contend
ing troops, some local contractions of
area seem inevitable in some of the
countries actually engaged in war. The

the cause, in part, to the liberties

the LUIS of their good health. The
French live out of doors as much as

verandas and in the gardens when
ever the weather is favorable, and al
ways seek the fresh air in the day.
