Fire Threatened Business Section
Flames Broke Out Main Street Clothing Store Early Thursday Evenng-Prompt Work by Fire Department Prevented Serious Loss-Three Bremen Cut by Flying GIas.-CircuIatins Library and Fasan's Smoke Shop Suffer From Water Damage

Caples, driver of Chemical Company No 3, who happened to be nearby at the time hurried to the burning bIiid- ing and endearoring to gain an ei- trance to the second story received an ugly cut on one of his hands, ncces- sitating medical attention. F'irefnaa Dennis Brennan of the Central station was hit by living glass and sustained a bad cut on his left hand. The glass cut a tendon and also cut through . vein. Several stitches had to be taken to close the cut. Fireman Lloyd Thompson also of the Central station was cut on the hand by flying glass
 How the fire started is so far mystery. The proprietor of the store was out of town and the clerk was lett In. charge. According to the story told Chief H. l.. Stanton by the clerk every thing was all right when he left the place three quarters of an hour i,efore the flames broke out. Four men from Taftville had been in the store short .ly before the clerk closed up for tie night and had purchased two suits cf clothes. The theory was advanced by the clerk that a. lighted cigar Or cig- arctic left in the store by the men may be responsible for the blaze.
 The building is three stories high and is owned by George Greenberger

Seek Substitutes for Spruce.

The scarcity of white paper material is causing the most rigid investigation into the use of spruce wood for pur- poses which some ether material might serve. The United States forest prod uots laboratory at Madison, Wis, has lately been experimenting in using cot tonwood as a substitute for spruce, poplaHrand ash for making butter box es. Cottonwood, when green, gives off an odor, which, 1t was believed, would be absorbed by the butter. Tests have been made of boxes constructed of thoroughly seasoned cottonwood. But ter packed in them was set away for week and at the end of that time pro- fessionaI butter graders decided that the butter contained no trace of for eign flavor. The use of cottonwood for food packing will release millions of pounds of wood for paper making each year.-Buffalo News
