Had a Close Call

The Washburn fire depart
ment was called out last Friday
evening at $50 o'clock to a fire
in the box factory plant of the
Kenfield-Lamoreaux company.
The fire started over the
boiler and gained considerable
Roadway before it was discover
ed by company employees but
it was extinguished before the
fire department arrived. Little
damage was done. The plant of
1he Embellishments COM
pany is well equipped to fight
fires and they are usually put
out before M UGH damage is done.
Mem bers of the crew who put
out the fire say it was a close
call and might have resulted
disasterously had it not been
discovered when it was.

the fire bell sounded until the

Ii Has Been Well Said.

That no one who votes for
license can blame the saloon
keeper for being alert to secure
custom. OF course he is doing
his utmost to beget the taste for
the liquor in every person he
can reach, -your boy and mine,
If he possibly can, and if you
are one who has voted to license
him, then your lips are sealed.
What, che mustn't have your
boy?" Is your boy any dearer
to you than mine is to me? than
your neighbors boy to him?
You might as well demand that
a mill should run without the
grain, out of which the flour is
made, a factory without the
cotton or wool from which the
cloth is made, as a drrnkard
factory without the boys, out
of which the drunkards are
made. The present proportion
of saloons in our land demands
one boy in five. so don't be sur
prised if that one boy is yours,
unless you are working with all
your might against the traffic.

it OUT"

Producer.

Producer.
The one factor which will reduce
crime more than any other is the
abolition of the saloon," declared
Rev. Orville L. Kiplinger, chaplain
of the Indiana state prison, in a
recent address before a Chicago audi
ence. THE reason l believe abso-
lutely in women suffrage is because |
believe women will vote out this
cursed business.
Liquor is the greatest of all crime
producers. Out of 1850 prisoners
in the prison at one time, COS were
either drinking or were drunk at the
time of the crime, or the deed was
planned in saloon. Two hundred
and twelve out of226 cases of murder
were due to liquor"
