TT IS ALL OVER

Now that the excitement incident 10 the eel ebration of the Fourth is over, it might be well to S, hack 10 the serious side of business on hand that of war and wake up to the full realization of the situation.
 Our lives have been peaceful: sheltered as il were and disturbed since babyhood by only trivial things. We most of us have never eN- parienced the awful shattering devastation, the black horrors of war that spare nothing; not even the babies in their cradle. The blasting of our hopes and plans of a lifetime may be shat tered without notice by this great war. To us here war means very httle-apparently so at least. and only means something unpleasant to very remote people. therefore. We give 1t only passing thought.
 Most of us think our country safe from ln- yaSion. and all that and we flirt with frivollty. From now on let us be serious and prepare our selves to meet the consequences Of war that Is sure 70 come Let us stop eNtravagance and waste and prepare ourselves to help the country 10 5efend our homes. The government will soon csl OF Us again for help to pay for the protection of our country from the enemy. Do We want that protection Then let us get ready 10 help nay for it.

MARSHAL ASKS
AUTHORITY TO
GUARD GRAIN

Inspired by recent reports of mys-
teriOus elevator fires in various parts
Of the state, Fire Marshal A. H.
Runge has asked Attorney General
LANCER for an opinion as to his au-
thority to appoint special deputies
for the purpose of guarding or in
specting at least once each, day every
elevator in the state which contains
grain. q.
In many cities it is probable that
this inspection wosld be made the
duty of the fire chief. In others it
probably will be necessary to name
special deputies. This will entail an
increase in the fire marshal's force.
Attorney General LANCER will have
his opinion on this subject ready for
publication early next week.
