The designations filled
several sheets of paper, and

Each sheet bore the seal
of the Tacoma Firemen's
union No. 1901, affiliated
with the American Fedora

At the same time that the res
ignation was laid on Pettit's desk
the city council convened for
what was to have been a joint
session with heads of the fire
department union. Not one of
the firemen appeared In the coun-

Members of the fire depart

they had nothing to discuss with

Commissioner Petit announced
that his entire fire department
had quit.
"Well, let them quit" said the
mayor. Every man has a right
to quit his job IL he wants to.
"The long hours of the fire de-
partment are terrible, there's no
doubt about that. But we're up
against a situation that has no sp-
parent solution.
There isn't any law which de-
mands that the city must furnish
fire protection. And there is o
law which prevents us from going
over a 15-mill levy. SO what are
we to do about it,"

will apply for the post 'ons of the

must have civil service men IL they
can be obtained"
If no one does apply the city
will cndeavor to hire men at ran
dom to assume charge of the fire
department. This is also expected
to be difficult, because the depart
ment is almost completely motor

BENEFIT OF BOYS CORN CLUBS

More than, fifty boys made over
100 bushels of corn In 1915 at a
cost Of less than thirty cents per
bushels Ellsworth Watkins, of Jack
son, made the highest yield in 1915.
He grew. and harvested 1867 bush
els of corn from an acre of land at
a profit of $13749 This boy ac-
complished feat which if perform
ed in some other vocation would
be loudly acclaimed and have won
for him no doubt a distinction of
the highest order.
The average yield of the state
has been increased about As bush
els per acre in the period indicated.
Last year 2210 boys grew $4,000
bushels of corn on their acre plats.
This represents an average of AZ
bushels per acre and was raised at
cost of AZ cents per bushel and
at profit Of $55,117.40. 1t is
possible to secure an average yield
of AZ bushels per acre on least
one million acres of land now de-
voted to the growth of corn in Geor-
gia and which at present is yield
ing about 5 bushels per acre
The boys and girls have discover
ed in some measure the possibili-
ties of the open country. They
have learned to study and respect
the soil and have come to appreciate
in an elementary sense at least the
necessity of farming with brains
rather than with Drawn.
