Fireman Braves Swaying Floor
And Flames to Rescue Mascot

4 dull crash shook the blazing
building at 697 Greenwich Street lass
night, an inverted cataract of sparks
rocketed into the keen night air, and
the men Of Hook and Ladder con-
graduated themselves with cordial
profanity last night that they had left
the roof a few minutes before it fell.
The ceiling OF the sixth floor where
they stood IN precarious safety quiv-
cred beneath the glowing load sudden
ly imposed upon it. A sharp yelp from
above shattered their complscency.
"It's Kimmel!" yelled George Ken
nedy, and charged at the debris-clut-
tered remnant OF stairway leading to
the inferno overhead, where the dog
that had been Five's mascot for four
years was calling on his friends for
help.
Dog Pinned by Beam
Somehow the fireman clumbered 70
the floor above. where he found the
Dalmatian pinned 70 the floor by still
burning beam and making valiant but
Intellectual efforts 10 free himself. By
good luck, Kimmel, who had stayed on
the roof when the firemen beat re-
treat, had dropped a story with the
falling roof without catching the brunt
Of the avalanche. Only the projecting
timber had prevented him from canter-
ing gayly down the stairs to join his
comrades.
But the timber had caught him as
neatly as any dead fall, and Kennedy
toied with his hook for minutes that
seemed hours while the floor shivered
beneath his feet before Kimmel was
free. The fireman carried him tender
ly 20 the street, got liniment for his
back, and after the fire Kimmel was
safe and sound, though lame, in quar-
ters in Charles Street, accepting with
bored air the solicitous attentions of
his housekeeping mate, Daisy.
The fire started on the sixth floor OF
the seven story building soon after 5

UNCLE SAM TO PUSH
 SALES Of INSURANCE
Campaign Among Civilians Projected to Induce Soldiers to Take

Washington, Nov. 6.-The greatest insurance selling campaign in history will be undertaken soon by the gov ernment to induce everysoldier and sailor to buy life insurance provided at low rates under the recent act of con- gress.
 Thousands of insurance agents and other public spirited citizens will be enlisted in a movement to preach the gospel of government life insurance among civilian population, on the the ory that pressure from home will be necessary to persuade hany soldiers to subscribe and that most of Americas s future soldiers still are civilians.

OIL MEN STRIKE
 AT A STANDsTILL
Men Require Union Recognition and Operators Will Not Accede
 to Request.

Houston, Tex, Nov. 6.-The close of the first week of the strike of un- ion oil field workers in the Texas field finds the operators and strikers no nearer settlement of t.leir differ- ences, apparently, than on the day the strike opened. The vital ques. tion on which the strike turns Is rec. ognition of the oil workers union by operators, the operators maintaining a stand. which they took on October 15, that they will absolutely not treat with the grievance committee of the union nor recognize the union in any manner.
 The situation in the Texas and L0u- isiana oil fields is of such importance in Arkansas that the state has sent it's labor commissioner, Beni D. BricKhouse, as special representa- tive here to investigate the condf- tions in the oil fields. The Arkansas commissioner today expressed his qualification at finding the oil work CTS apparently unit in both Louis- jana and Texas against any violence or property destruction.

Will Continue the Fight Un-
 til Righteous Objects < Are Fully Secured

London, Nov. GA, ). Balfour, sec retary for foreign affairs, replying in the house of commons today to a peace motion proposed by H. B. Lees Smith,, Liberal from Northampton, declared: .@&
 "The aims for which Great Britain entered the war were not and are not either imperialistic or vindictiye, but one and all are needed for the doub- ler purpose of emancipation and se- curity.
 Mir. Balfour asked the house to show by an overwhelming majority that i've believe in the cause" in which we are struggling and which we know we can bring to successful ter imitation. Great as are the sacrifices already made, we are ready to con tinue them indefinitely until the great righteous and unselfish objects we have in view are finally secured"
 Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, amid loud cheers mov- ed "closure", which was carried, 282 to B.
 MT. Lees-Smith's motion was then negative without division.
 The Lee Smith motion was as fol- lows:
 "This house is of the opinion, pro- viding satisfactory guarantees can be obtained with regard to the independ- ence and restoration of Belgium and the evacuation of occupied territory, that no obstacle should be placed in the way of 'preliminaries towards ne gotiations for a peace settlement which ought to embody an equitable solution of the problem of Alsace-Lor- raine and of devising the enforcement of effective international machinery for the avidance of future wars"

BELIEVES TRAINING
is WORTH WHILE.

w. c. Prewitt of Pike county, Mo,
believes that practical farming
should be fortified with the scientific
principles underlying the business,
according to an article in the Farmer
ad Stockman. Concerning the value
of the work Caswell Prewitt, the
oldest of the three sons, attend
ing the Short Course of the Missouri
College of Agriculture, says:
THE time l spent taking short
course wor kat Columbia was profit
able, indeed The training secured
gave me a broader outlook upon
life and more comprehensive appre-
citation of the importance Of agricul-
ture Even if agricultural training
in a good school did nothing more
than cause a person to become proud
of his business it would be well
worth its cost"
The three Prewitt boys, Caswell,
Moss and Robert, are in partnership
with their father in the live stock
business. They have three farms, a
total of l ,4SO acres.
Another short course student who
| has succeeded in live stock farming
is Wm. Roberts of Weatherby, Mo-
He recently was recommended as a
judge at the Ridgeway Fair. A let
ter from c. A. Stoner of the fair says
that Mr.. Roberts is an excellent live
stock judge and that the exhibitors
| are well pleased with his decisions.

A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS.

The Auxvasse Review recounts as
follows:
Mrs.S. S. McCue met with a very
painful and quite serious accident
Sunday morning as she was coming
out of the Presbyterian church. In
some way she missed her footing
and fell down the granitoid steps,
breaking her thigh bone. Mrs. Nc
Cue is resting as well as possible
with such an affliction. Her sister,
Miss Ssllie Tate. also met with an
accident last week at the home of
Mrs. 1. T. McCue in Mexico, where
she was visiting She opened a door
which she thought led into a closet,
but instead it was the basement
door, and she fell down the steps,
bruising herself considerably. She
is now at the home of her sister Mrs.
McCue, and feels like she was fortu-
nate in not having any bones broken.
While Mrs. Wade Fewell was at
the McCue home Suday with her lit
tie son-little hands must have some
thing to do. and the baby found the
cider press. The consequence was
that two fingers were mashed on the
right hand.
