For one and a half months. the men loafed around the house, accustoming themselves to their new duties and waiting for fires, but only one stroke of the bell was sounded. caused by short cir cult. Suddenly their work begins with a crash. Monday evening they were called from their beds at 11.05 by a false alarm at the Vanderman foundry. Tuesday evening, they were sent to Eaton's icehOuse, out of the city limits. to prevent the fire from doing further damage. but it was all over when they arrived. They re- ceived their first baptism as it was raining when the trip was made but the pump on the truck was not used.
 Wednesday afternoon, word was re- ceiVed in this city that the icehouse was burning again and the truck was sent to the fire. The pump was con nected up. the feed hose being placed in the pond in about three feet of water. According to reports from Captain Tighe, the pump worked as smooth as velvet. .A strong stream of water was soon playing on the burning ruins and the fire was put cut. The men returned to the station house about so.

regular quarterly dividends of f-3 per

of the Great Western Sugar Company
thus far this year have received ~

80 per cent this single year represents

In the days before the war there was
no industry more insistent than sugar
for protection. The declaration was
made that sugar production would
cease unless it were supported by

of the United States have paid hun

the development of the domestic sugar
industry more than they would have
paid had they been given free access

In view of the bountiful generosity
wherewith government dealt with
sugar in its period Of need, 1t seems
that the sugar industry is subject to a
special obligation to deal now in reel

The SOLDIERS CARD IND ex.

The military authorities are to keep
a card index of the soldier, a complete
record, what the French call a doayer
1t will tell all about him, where he
came from. what he had been before he
became a soldier, his accomplishments
etc, etc. And the record will be kept
thru his service. He will be card index
ed from mastering in to the mastering
out.
The soldier will himself keep a card
index He can't help it. 1t will be
written on mis- mind and morals, his
body, the expression Of his face He
will go on making character Character
is the card index of men. Everything
he does and much that he fails to do
is written there. He will bring that
record home with him.
Soldering makes a spoon or spois
horn. 1t makes better men or worse
men. Every man is going to write his
own dossier on his own soul and on his
own body. He is going to make his own
spoon OF spoil horn. He Is going to
withstand the temptations Of army life
and come back home strong and clean
Of character or he Is going to come
back a lesser man than when he went
away. 1t Is up to him.

and rolled on top OF little black spi-
for her sister.
I'm dreadfully sorry" said the kind
old gentleman rabbit, for he hated to
make anybody uncomfortable, you
know. And then he took million car
rot cents. out of his pocket and gave
them to the little black spider to give
to her sister for a wedding present.
Wasn't that lovely in him? Well I
should say it was, and it's lots more
than a great many people give for
wedding presents, I'm sure.
Get in and take a ride with me-
said Uncle Lucky, and then the little
rabbit hoped in and away they went
thru the Friendly Forest until they
came to an old wood road that led to a
sawmill.
Goodness, but it's dreadtully rough,
said Uncle Lucky, as the automobile
nearly turned over three times ana
maybe a half more. I'm afraid my
old wedding stovepipe hat won't stay
on my head If we keep on this way"
And Just then a big beaver, who cut
down trees for living and sold the
hogs to the man who owned the saw
MILL came along. and when he saw
the two rabbits in the Luckymobile he
said:
DO you want to buy any logs?" but
before Uncle Lucky could answer one
of the tires burst and blew the hat
right off the beavers head. And in the
next story rlll tell you what he said.
not Uncle Lucky. you know, but the
angry beaver.
