GONE UP IN SMOKE

The plant of the Fuel Supply Co..
familiarly known as the wood mill
was completely destroyed by fire
early Tuesday morning.
The fire was not discovered until
the building was enveloped in
flames, thus precluding any possibil-
ity of saving the plant or of ascer-
tanning the origin of the fire.
There was a fairly strong north.
east wind at the time, carrying the
sparks directly into the slab yard
of the Ellingson Lumber Co.'S saw
mill. Had it not been for the fact
that everything was damp from the
recent rain, there might have been
a much more serious conflagration
as it was. no chances were taken,
the hose was laid and water thrown
all over the yard where the sparks
were falling.
A box car, partly loaded with wood
and standing at the mill, was also
destroyed.
The loss of the Fuel Supply Co.
is estimated by Alex Sovia, the man
ager, at about $4,000.
This is the third time the wood
mill has burned down since it was
established in Hawkins, and if we
read the signs Alright, it will not
be rebuilt here.-Hawkins Reporter

such registration.

Cauti0n.-All males who shall
have attained their twenty-tirst
birthday and who shall not have
attained their thirty-first birthday
on or before the day set for regis
tration must register. The only ex-
captions are persons in the military
or naval service of the United
States, which includes all officers
and enlisted men of the Regular
Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps,
and the National Guard and Naval
Militia while in the service of the
United States, and officers in the
Officers Reserve Corps and enlisted
men in the Enlisted Reserve Corps
while in active service. If you are
a male between the designated ages
and are not in the military or naval
service of the United States, you
are subject to registration on the
day fixed by the President, and if
you fail to present yourself, or,
presenting yourself, you give false,
misleading, or incorrect answers,
YOU are a misdemeanant and sub
ject to punishment by imprison-
men in Jail, to which punishment
there is no alternative of fine. Per-
sons who, for any reason, have
failed to register on the day set by
the President must register them
selves without delay with the reg
istration board of the subdivision in
which they have their permanent
homes.
Registration certificate.-All per-
sons registered will be furnished a
registration certificate. Since all
police officers of the Nation, States,
and municipalities are required to
examine the registration lists and
make sure that all persons liable
to registration have registered
themselves, much inconvenience
will be spared to those who are
registered if they will keep these
certificates always in their possess
sion. All persons of the designated
ages must exhibit their certificates
when called upon by any police Of
ficer to do so.
Place of registration.-The place
of registration is the voting pre-
cinct of your donicile. Your domi-
Gle is your permanent home.
Registration of absentees.-Al-
though registrations must be in the
precinct of domicile, and although
the burden is on you to see that
your registration is entered at your
domiciliary precinct on the pre-
scribed day, yet, for your convent
ence and to obviate the necessity OF
your going home for the purpose OF
registration, the following is pro-
vided for the registration Of absen-
tees:
(a) Immediately after the publ
cation of the Presidents proclama-
ton there will be supply OF regis
tration blanks at the office OF the
county clerk Of every county in the
United States and at the office OF
the city clerk Of every city OF 3d.
600 population or over.

something Of the depth Of an elephants tusk
and that Of meerschaum pipe Such tone
is hard to achieve by the dyers, and the artistic
woman accords it the congratulation it de-
serves.
If this deep ivory tone is to be the kind Of
white that we have been prepared to receive,
then it will find us with open arms, especially
as Doucet and his kind have conceived the idea
Of giving a gown of this kind all the splendor
of the Orient by putting jungle touches of col
ored embroidery on its rich surface.
The colorful effect of this frock is suggested
by the ancient Indians. 1t is taken from Peru,
from Aztec manuscript, from the sensuous
clothes worn under the Spanish and Indian
domination Of the Southwestern United States.
1t is a strange gown, this cream colored cash.
mere, with its Indian fringe and Apache en-
broidery, and it cannot fail to be comfort to
the smart woman, especially if she has black
hair, an olive skin and eyes, as the French
say, like "cafe noir."
Lanvin, Doucet, Bulloz and many other art
ist designers Of Paris have gone to the Indians
for their inspiration for fringes. The woman
who has not studied the new clothes in mass
may not have como to the surprising conclu-
