MAKES PROPOSAL
TO FORM COMPANY
INSTANTANEOUS FIRE ALARM
| SYSTEM WOULD LOCATE
PLANT IN OTTUMWA.

The proposal Of the U. s. Fire Alarm
Co, seeking a location for it's business
in Ottumwa, will probably be placed
before the Commercial association
Tuesday at the directors meeting.
The agent for the concern has been
in the city for the past week and has
ven'demonstrations of the possibil-
tiles of his automatic alarm system
that registers at the central station
both the street address and the por-
ton of the house where the fire takes
place almost Immediately upon the
breaking out of the fire.
The representative would like to
organize a local company to take over
the system which he claims has great
possibilities. There are other devices
owned by the concern which would
also be manufactured here should a
local company be formed. Just what
will be done with the proposal re-
mains to be seen as the association
has thus far taken no action upon it.

TREE PUTS
FORTH BLOSSOMS

The fall weather in this part of Iowa
has been so fine that a pear tree be-
longing to Mrs. William Waddington
of Chillicothe, has been deceived into
thinking that spring has come instead
of autumn. The pear tree has brought
forth fragrant white blossoms and
lots of buds under the delusion that it
was time for it to get ready for its an
nual yield. Ordinarily pear trees bios
som in May but this is the first time
Mrs. Waddington has ever known one
to mistake October for May. It is not
unusual for cherry trees or apple trees
to forget the season at times, but this
is the first time any of Mrs. Wadding-
toms pear trees have been fooled. The
blossoms have been placed on exhibi.
ton for a time in The Courier win
doWs.

WAR DEPARTMENT ITO
AID Of OAHU OFFICERS

Since the publication Of the war de-
partment instructions putting the army
service in Hawaii on the colonial basis
the burning question with officers here
Is when win the individual officer be
credited with sufficient foreign service
to render him eligible for return to the
mainland. As there are many officers
here whose total foreign service placed
them far beyond the possibility Of hav-
ing to leave the United States for some
years TO come, yet who were ordered TO
accompany their regigments when these
organizations were sent 10 Hawaii,
there IL much speculation as TO when
the war department will order them de.
taehed.
From information received last week
from Washington, Il is learned that
the tentative plans Of the war depart.
ment contemplate the relief from for
eign service Of those officers who have
considerable foreign service at the end
Of their third year on Oahu, and at the
expiration of three and one-half years
there will be another exodus.
This scheme has been adopted to
avoid the Wholesale transfers Of Off.
GERS who have familiarized themselves
with the defense plans Of Oahu and to
insure the presence here of sufficient
number Of officers whose knowledge OF
local conditions will hold the regiments
here up to their present high state of
efficiency. 0 .sa,,g..
Regiments whose commissioned per-
sonnet has been considerably changed
by the acquisition Of new officers may
not come under this new rule nor will
there be many immediate changes, but
beginning next spring it is expected
that the First Infantry and First Field
Artillery win have many new faces
among their commissioned personnel. +
