Beware of Fire Bugs.

It is hard to believe that the public. in this day and time, must be on the alert to guard against the fiend in human form who will set buildings sfire re- gardless of the fact that human beings are inside. possibly sleep. ing. Yet such is the case says the Southern Construction News. A few days ago, as one instance that may be cited from many, a Hot Springs woman lost her life when trapped in burning house from fire which dispatches said was believed to be of incen- diary origin. Seven dwellings were burned at the time. If there is a moral to this story 1t is despite modern fighting appa- ratus and police protection and all the advantages of our mod ern civilization. we are stil pitt fully incompetent to deal with fire that has a strong headway. Our only hope of safety lies ir adequate fire prevention. Simple little precautions often prevent big confiagrations just as little deeds of carelesspess cause them. As for the incendiary he should be hunted down and dealt with as new and stringent laws pro- vide for in Arkansas.

WAIT UNTIL AUGUST 1917

The following remarkable prophecy by Saint Malachie, who lived in the 18th century, ap- peared in several newspapers
 When the figure will meet the 9. and when both united to the 16 (l9l6) during the sixth month of that year, August, according to the old calender); and after twice four days and twice ten days will have passed (28th of August) the new races which ob tain their name from Romulus (Romania) will rise, and will make an alliance with the pow. erful states. Then the ferocious beast, which during two years and one month filled the earth with blood. horror, and carnage -enveloped. attacked in every part, and roared in vain will endeavor to devour peoples, but in vain. There will be great battles, during which thirteen new moons will be born, and will sink thirteen times. On the fifth day after the sun leaves the sign of the Lion the wild beast will have a frightful death. A vir. gin nation of which the name contains two iotas: two alphas: d ton, and a lambda (Italia) will overwhelm the enemy crush the head of the Latin peoples, and divide the spells. On the day prophesied Romania intervened in the war. Let us have pa tience until the end of August 1917. when we may look for a triumphant victory and possibly the end of the war. May God grant that it may be so. "--The Prophetic News.

THE SECRETARY'S JOB

Being local secretary is no snap. It isn't even a sinecure. It doesn't suggest fowery beds of ease, or brooks flowing with milk and honey, or cloudless skies or anything of that sort.
 It means a lot of trouble with very few thanks; it means be- ing blamed for thugs you dian't do; it means taking the respon- sibiity for the dilatoriness, care lessness, forgetfulness and down. right ugllness of a lot of people who think they are accommoda- ting you when they pay their dues ten days late, after you have spent 30 cents in trying to find them.
 And yet being a secretary has some compensations. To start with is fine for discipling the temper. It tends toward Job likeness. It makes boils and car buncles pleasure by contrast.
 But being secretary really gives an opportunity to serve. and after all, service is one big thing that makes friends, de- velopS one's own personality, and builds character.
 And then the secretary has the satisfaction of knowing that he is rendering a real service to his community. He is guardian of the welfare of widows and or. phans, He is the monitor of careless men. He is constantly engaged in building estates and surrounding them with safe guards that will make them
