PreveutabIe Fires.

Those genuinely patriotic people who
are responsible for the crusade against
preventable fires are urging upon commu-
mites everywhere the necessity of being
cautious in Christmas decorations and the
use Of fireworks. This is the season Of
year when sensible attention to seemingly
innocent pastimes and decorations is in
fact the most imperative. Annually many
homes Of JOY are suddenly transformed in
to houses of suffering and sorrow be-
cause of the proneness Of human nature
to be needless TO fire. Such ending TO
Christmas festivities may be precluded If
We will discard highly inflammablc mate
rial in decorations; leave no unguardcd
fire or open flame withouteadequatc pre-
cautions against its spreading. and keep
the children far away from the Christmas
tree, and especially if candles and not
electric lights are used. "In a word" urge
the advocates Of the fire prevention, sex
ercise practical common sense so hat ev-
cry one may enjoy a glad Christmas sea-
son without the horror and loss occasion
ed by p~reventable fires."-Galveston News

HORTICULTURE
SHOW AT A & M
TROPICAL AND sUB-TR0PlcAL FRUIT
AND OTHER INTERESTING Ex-
HIBITS WE'RE DISPLAYED

- ~ Aa4
COLLEGE STATION, Tex, Dec. 21.-
The horticultural show at the A & NJ
College December the 9Th and 9th, was a
decided success in every sense of the word.
The exhibits were varied enough to be of
intrst to everyone and the quality was the
best. At the close of the show an auction
was held hat created much interest and
enthusiasm.
The entire show was planned for IFS
educational value and to acquaint the SIN
dents and visitors with the great POSSIBLE
les in horticultural work.
The horticultural department is compos-
ed of the divisions of Horticulture, Land
scape Art, Pomology, Vegetable Garden
ing and ub-Tropical fruits. Each of
those was represented by some display
and the various tools and devices used in
each.
The florists Of the state were generous
in their displays Of cut flowers and ported
plants. Among the displays was roses,
carnations, chrysanthemums, cyclamen,
a~xalea, primula, ferns, begonia, etc.
The displays in Landscape Art. consist
ed of a large number of designs from the
students and professors of this college,
as well a other institutions notable among
these exhibits was u series Of designs from
University.
The Pomolosy displays consisted chief
~ Of apples and nuts. There are few peo-
pie who realize how many and how good
apples Texas produces. The pecan display
was probably the biggest collection of
hpdded and Seeding varieties ever assem-
bled.
The citrus and sub-tropical fruits were
very interesting owing to the possibilities
of Southwestern Texas. There were dis
plays of citrus fruits from many sections
Of the gulf coast and from California to
Florida. From the quality shown Texas

growers need not feel discouraged. Both
of the other states had better 'show
fruits but they had no advantage in
flavor, size and general quality.
The sub-tropical fruit was represented
by guava, feijoa, natal plum, papaya, car
risa, sugar apple, banana, cocoa nut,
jujube, dies, etc. The showing Of fig pre-
serves, jam, etc., from the various Texas
preserving plants was Of especial inter-
est.

MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people Continue to
accept EXTRACTS" Of cod Evcys think
ing they will get the benefits Of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference Is very great. An
'emulsion' contains real cod Hvcy oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment Of the medical profession for
many years, while an extract" is a
product Which contains no oil and Is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade Of real Norwegian cod iitry oil,
skilfully blended with glyccrine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
hlse stimulation Of alcohol and is en-
doeeed by good physicians everywhere.

Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, April 24-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said: The action OF the stock
exchange today went far in confirm
ing the theory that Saturdays liQuida-
ton originated in a carefully planned
and well executed bear raid. The
professional element apparently took
advantage of the sentimental depres-
sion, the weak technical positions, re-
sulting from exhausted margins and
the short session sandwiched be-
tween two holidays to reinforce the
action and as is ever the case IN
forcing the general decentralization Of
the list, they oversold the market.
This was apparent from the sharp
recovery which characterized today's
| initial transactions. First prices
ranged from / to points higher, and
the initial improvement was extend
ed further before the expiration OF
the first half hour. Naturally the
greatest gains reflected IN munition
stocks and industrial specialties
which were the chief sufferers in the
Saturday decline and those of the
Immediately proceeding sessions last
week. Some further liquidation was
occasioned by the failure of specu-
lators to respond to margin calls, but
the offerings were well taken by pool
and clique operators. Short covering
was influenced by the more hopeful
sentiment that prevailed both In re-
| spect to the German situation and
, our Mexican affairs.
Dealings were on scale OF largo
activity, but the bulk of the business
was confined to comparatively few
issues, of which aside from United
States Steel, munition shares and the
Industrial specialties which have re-
Gently figured prominently in pool
operations, were the most conspicu-
Gus.
