DEBORAH NEEDS FIRE ALARM.
City Authorities Should Take Stems

The fire at the A. d. e P. A. build
ing last Thursday night was evidence
enough that the city Of DEBORAH
needs some kind of a modern, up.
to-date fire alarm system The only
alarm the city has is the bell in the
tower at the rear of the city hall.
The fire whistle has not been in
operation since the electric light COM
pany moved their plant to the lower
dam
Thursday night very few of the
hremen heard the alarm, and if it
hadn't been for the fact of so many
men being at meeting of the Elks
lodge, it is no telling how disastrous
the fire might have been, if it had
gotten more of Roadway.
The alarm at the city hall is
sounded by an electric bell from the
Standard telephone office. The bell at
Hose Co. No. rooms is cracked and
is out of commission.
A stitch in time saves nine and it is
well for the city dads to look into the
matter of fire alarm system.

Selecting a Gift for Father.

Judge: The chief business before
the house, after everyone else has
been provided for, is selecting a
Christmas gift for father. Many pos
slbilities at once suggest themselves.
Father could stand new overcoat.
Yes, but who has the price to buy
father new overcoat? Answer: No
body, not even father.
Father also needs a new pair of
goloshes, new comb another main
spring in his watch, ten tons of coal.
a toupee for the top of his head. six
or eight new pairs of shoe laces, and
a gross of collar buttons. He also
has a saeaking desire for half doz-
EN- celluloid collars that can't be told
from the real thing, because his lin
IN ones always melt when he gets
mad at his stenographer.
Let Us therefore, consider these
articles carefully. Goloshes -goloshes
.ost too much. Cut 'em off the list.
'omb-a combs too cheap. Anyway,
here are only seven teeth missing
rom the comb which father now has,
md the missing teeth just match
ather's missing hairs. New main
pring to watch-this would necessi-
ate asking father for the watch, and
hen his Christmas gift wouldn't be
surprise. Godfather always buys
ne coal. Why should we rob him
t his pleasures? Toupee-too unro-
latic. undignified. Collar
uttons-see shoelaces Celluloid
)llars-a repulsive and roughneck
fought. Let's get him a necktie.
