TIE citizens and merchant of
this city are paving heavy taxes
and licenses, and it appears that
there are a few of them who are
wondering why the city does not
give them more protection, especial
" in the matter of fighting fires.
Abbevillc has no fire Canpanv, and
in fact no one who really has charge
of this matter. All of the fire fight
ing is done voluntarily, and i'll the
best way they can. There are >ev-
cral good hose trucks, and ii seems
possible that the city fathers could
arrange with one man, or police
man to keep these several trucks
in readiness for fighting fires. The
cost would be small, and the say
ing large. Why wait any longer?

Register Births and Deaths

in this day OF enlightenment no
state can afford to let her children
be born and die like stray dogs,
without official notice or record.
1t is a crime against helpless IN
fancy to impcril the birthright Of
the poorest child by failure to re-
cord It's birth and rarentage. This
is what many people, through ig-
norance or Carele&Sncss, are doing
in Louisiana today. The law now
provides a punishment for that
crime. Act 9S of 1906, Sec. 5, pro-
vides for this, and there is a fine
of from $40 to $500 for neglect.
Shall Louisiana lag behind her
sister states? Other states are now
recording every birth among their
children. Shall we do less for ours:
Registration is offered free. The
local registrar of this district is Mr.

1t is inevitable that the United

sense be the beneficiary of the war
This is an accident which we aN

but which as a nation of producer,
we are compelled to regard as an
extraordinary opportunity for the
expansion of our productive IN
dustries. Eventually America will
be the overwhelming victor, because

a remarkable game, was driven off

Mack placed two nice wide ones in

then settled down and won the game
for Phoenix by causing two heavy
hitters to lift the ball into the neigh
borhood of Pittman.
To get rather discursive, for a
while
Its a pretty fair thing that Phoenix
has some willing stickmen. Had
Tucson fallen upon McCreery as they
did on Hall and Toner. Hester him
self would have been compelled to
pitch. and that would have been an
awful thing.
