The Iong-looked for Cleanup pa

home in a team. Then came a string
of job teams, all the painters in town,
pony carts representing the Saturday
Evening Post and Pastime theatre, a
squad of scrub women and the White

one man on it, fair average. Who

there the chemical was headed for
the source of the trouble. At the
Avenue House they were tagged by
Officer Wallace, who apparently
thought it was a test ride, but Fire
man Warden informed Wallace it was
a real business trip and the truck was
given right of way. The big machine
was driven alongside the paraders TO
Caledonia street without mishap and
when the firemen arrived they
found a miniature forest fire on the
west side of Harris hill. With the
aid of many volunteers a shovel and
broom brigade was quickly formed
and after an hours strenuous work
the fire was extinguished. About an
acre was burned over, including sew
eral fir trees. The fire fighters were
forced to chop down a few trees and
also to dig trench on one side of the
fire to stop it's progress. The cause
is laid to youngsters who had a
shack on the hill near where the fire
started.

WAR PROSPERITY.
Tremendous Amounts of Money Being
Spent i'm the Munition Districts
of Pennsylvania.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence.)
Washington, May George w.
Lucas, civil engineer and public util-
tiles expert, was in Washington re-
Gently, having just completed the
erection o ia central electric power
station at Coatesville, Pa, situated al
most in the center. of the so-called
munitions district Mr.. Lucas was
amazed at the wonderful prosperity
which is pouring into that section of
that state due to the huge purchases
made by the European belligerents.
This prosperity is felt in every ar
ter yof business said Mr.. Lucas.
THE way money is spent in that sec
ton reminds me of the days when
the gold strike was on in Tonopah,
Nevada. There is a steady stream of
gold pouring over the shop counters
which becomes a torrent on pay day.
Stores are turning their stocks over
almost monthly. The traction COM
panies are extending their lines in all
directions in order to transport the
laborers between the mills and their
homes in the outlying districts. The
real estate men have put up the prices
of land all over the section to unheard
Of figures.
"Coatesville normally has a popula-
ton of about 1900. Today it is
nearly 10000, and more coming. In
the mills, the demand for labor is
greater than the supply and laborers
are paid time-and-a-half and in some
instances double time for overtime
work. Sunday is as busy as any other
day.
1.-The completion of our power plant
was delayed months because of the
trouble in securing the right sort of
workmen. The pay envelopes are
handed otu every two weeks and then
there is hum Of trade throughout
the town which is positively deafen-
ing. And yet there is considerable
thrift in evidence, and the savings
banks are bullying like Christmas
stockings. The people appreciate that
such prosperity cannot last very long
and they are looking for a slump
when the war is over. The banks
are cautious about lending and there
is very little wildcat speculation.

SUICIDE AT NC RVDOES
Joseph Bowers, While DespOndent
Hanged Himself In Barn Tues
day Morning.

Joseph Bowers of McIndoe Falls
committed suicide by hanging him
self in Fred Belgrove's barn early
Tuesday morning. His health has

act Mr.. and Mrs. Bowers bought
the Belgrove farm of Mr.. Mayo about
a year ago. Mrs. Bowers is a sister
of George Mayo.
Mr.. Bowers was about rs years old.
Monday evening his wife rented the
farm for a year to her nephew,
Frank Higgins, and planned to take
Mr.. Bowers to Wyoming for a year.
He told her he should never make
the trip and ended his life Tuesday
morning.
The funeral will be at the church

An officer from Boston came here
yesterday to get Angus McCready, an
