 There is sense in these occasions if they are merely to be passed by annually observed" and for things in homes in nearly all big buildings which should be done prevent fire and fire is sheer Let prevent fire waste just as we do try to prevent waste of food, of men in battle and waste of ships the high seas
 Here of the things every man. woman and child of thinking age help to look after:
 Ashes should be kept in metal containers
 Oily rags waste are d very frequent cause of fires in homes
 Rubbish should be kept away from buildings for it has way of catching fire with no seeming provo cation.
 Gasoline and matches always dangerous and stoveppes not securely fastened have caused thou sands of fires this year.
 See that your electric fixtures are properly wired An electric socket which works in a peculiar manner may short circuit and a blaze
 In big buildings stairways should be kept clear doors should swing outward, asles in theaters and churches should be amply wide and fire extnguish- CTS should be tested frequently see they are in working order.

Senator Johnson's Stand

In a letter Phoenix man. Louis W. Jones. United States Senator Hiram w. Johnson, one of the most forward looking members of the senate, measure quite clear. He is decidedly against allow ing great fortunes to be made of this and he would stop them in the making by confiscating cessve profits.
 Senator Johnson writes follows:
 T very greatly appreciate your recent letter com- profits.
 q to make plain to you, and hope when the opportunity presents that you will aid in dssem- mating this view, that what sought not to in terfere with normal business, but to allow normal peace profits every individual and to every cor profits-the enormous gains coined out of war. Though this effort was little successful in the present revenue bill I that it has the sym pathy of the great majority of people, and I know our plan was just and fair and must ultimately be adopted
 T think it is quite disloyal to look upon our war as a mere commercial adventure out of which enormous fortunes to be made from our peril and travail it is insidiousy to endeavor to under mine the government this crucial time"
 There seems have been effort the part of many reactionary papers to msrepresent Senator Iohnsons attitude and exceedingly glad to pub fish the foregoing statement expressed in Senator Johnson's usual straightforward and courageous manner.

Theresa Jones, Aged 8, Was Gathering
Wild Flowers

Poultney, June l3.-Theresa, six.year-
old daughter of Mrs, Hugh Jones of Main
street, was drowned about $50 o'clock
last evening in Poultney river, while a
companion, Gertrude, little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert o. Jones of Church
church, was rescued from the river by
Andrew Tsnsssi, seven-year-old son of
John Tanassi, a fruit dealer of Main st.
The children had been searching for
flowers in the rear of the Troy Confer
ence academy grounds and as they were
crossing a bridge over the Poultney river
leading to the Staso Paint company's
plant, Teresa and Gertrude fell from the
bridge into the water. Andrew immedi-
ately waded into the stream and pulled
Gertrude 10 the bank but the strong
current had swept Theresa out of his
reach and the water was too deep for
him to follow.
Little Sarah Tansssi, who accompanied
the party, ran for help, summoning P.
Bishop Of Poughkeepsie and G. II. Bris-
tol of Pittsfield, Mass, who were in town
for commencement at T. C. A. The men

George Simard, Aged 10, of winooski,
Lost His Life.

Winooski, June l3.-George Simard,
the ten-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alexander Simard of 20 Chase street,
was drowned in the river at the foot of
Chase street about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. With two companions, Po-
landers, he was wading on the banks
which are flooded by the high water. The
Simard boy wandered over to a knoll and
there, stepping of, was let into the river,
thecurrent carrying him down stream. The
water in the river was about nine feet
above normal at the gorge yesterday
afternoon, and at the cotton mill about
five and one-half feet, and the low lands
along the river banks are all flooded.
The boys were at play, wading in a
small brook, and coming through the
woods they emerged on the south side OF
the brook. After leaving the bank il
was only about a foot deep and they
waded to this knoll, which took them to
the river bank.
The river here was dragged for several
hours. but TO no avail Two foreigners
dove in the water in this section. but
they could find no trace OF the body. 1t
was just south Of this spot where the
little Kirby ycungster was drowned
about a year ago. The Simard boy was
the youngest Of the family. Besides his
father and mother he leaves one brother
and two sisters. The news Of the drown
ing prostrsted the mother and physicians
