with us the Department Chaplin,
Georgia Wade Mcclellan, who is also
Assistant Inspector. She pronounced
the floor work well done and the re-
cords well kept.
There was an excellent turnout of
the Corps members and all of them
were well pleased when ten comrades
filed in for the meeting. After the
session closed. social hour followed
and light refreshments were served
In the evening few comrades, good
ly number of w. r. c. ladies and
others, gathered at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. J. E. Meyer, where Mrs.
Mcclellan was entertained and to
hear her tell her experiences during
the famous Gettesburg battle. which
was very thrilling.
Her eldest son was only few hours
old when the battle commenced.
While she lay in bed sick, wounded
soldiers came in and asked for water
and something to eat. Her sister,
Jennie Wade carried water on her
knees to the wounded soldiers. Finally
the bread gave out and Jennie began
making bread. While he was baking

CHURCHES WILL BE

Those who used their churches as
an instrument in the election were
stopping to bring that which is

Caezar's" said Rev. E. II. Stevens of
Sioux City, pastor of the First Baptist
church. in a sermon entitled Les
sons from Election" Sunday morning.
Il am member of the Ministerial
association and a part of it, but
cannot approve the action taken
against Harding before election" he
said. when a church stoops so low
as to dabble in politics, no matter
how bad or how good a certain candi-
date may be, its knocks will serve
as boost.
I'VE Americans are being educated
to certain facts like these. If the
same issue had been before the people
of Mexico as it was placed before
us there would have been no end of
bloodshed. But election passed off
smoothly here. The maximum effect

DOES FIRE
PREVENTION PREVENT?

The recent widespread celebration
! of Fire Prevention Day October 9TH
throughout the United States, give
points to the query as to whether
| fire prevention is really making good
| in actual results.
| Here is part of the answer.
New York City, in 1915, had ,010
fewer fires than in 1914, and it's ag-
gregate losses showed a decrease of
50, 460,793 from those of 1914. Its
per capita loss was 81 Los, or $.32 less
than was known before; its loss per
| fire was $140.5S less than the lowest
previous record. These results are
generally attributed to New York S
| fire prevention work.
Chicago has Bureau of Fire Pre-
vention and Public Salty with extern
sive activities. Translated into figures
lit appears that Chicago, in 1915, en-
joyed a decrease of 1928 in the num-
Der of fires and s906,605 in total
fire loses as compared with 1914.
Boston's Metropolitan District
(including the City of Boston and %
Ineighboring towns) has made a re-
markable showing, since appointing
its Fire Prevention Commissioner in
1914. Comparative figures for the
single month of June, are as follows:
In 1914, 1887 alarms; in 1915, 935
alarms; in 1916, 605 alarms,-or a
decrease in two years of GA per cent.
Cincinnati is intereted in fire pre-
vention. Its 1914 figures of abs
fires and $699,473 in losses were re-
duced to 1,7OS fires and s365,57O in
losses for 1915-a reduction of 20
per cent in the former item and near
ly SO per cent in the latter.
Milwaukee now carries on fire pre-
vention work under the direction Of
its fire departments. In 1915, the
city had only 1879 fires as against
1851 in 1914-a decrease Of 20 per
cent. Its total fire losses for 1915
were $4S7,009 as against S777,946
in 1914, and $953,477 in 1918. Mil
waukee in convinced that fires prev
ention pays.
The above. however, are a few of
the bright spots and represent but the
merest beginning. 1t must never be
overlooked that fire prevention in still
confronted by an enormous task.
Momentary enthusiasm because of
reductions effected in a few cities is
somewhat dampened by the reflection
that 1915 saw the enormous total of
S39, 591,227 in the single item of
dwelling houses fires in the United
States. OF this amount, $6,322, S13,
or ST., 1928 per day, is directly trace
able to defective chiinneys and fiues-
a cause which could have been ascer-
tanned and corrected.
Fire Prevention does prevent, but
it never will be really successful I'M
til the public takes a hand.

toonist of newspapers poor man
setting in padded cell, counting on
his fingers and saying Hughes wins,
Wilson wins, and so on. But
metaphorically speaking, the churches
which opposed Harding's election
went to war, tearing down much more
than they ever could have hoped to
gain even had they been victorious.
THE lesson will be an expensive
one. but they will have learned it.
Men will be taught to stand for what
they themselves see to be the right;
and when it is over they will pay their

cornering the town on the southeast.
He had but recently built fine home
there at big expense and had planned
to make it his home. His mother
came here from Omaha and was busy

into his head to take an extended trip
and to save court trouble and his
mother come and see that his bill were
paid The chances are he will return
in the future to Manning again.
