TO THE BOYS OF PRESCOTT

You are on our heart continually. Your welfare is our joy and your mis- fortune or "badness" our lament.
 We want to have a heart to heart talk with you about this cigarette habit. It is engaging the attention of teachers and doctors as never before, because the one is in the schoolroom and sees the havoc wrought in the brain of the pupil so that he either falls behind in his studies, or leaves school entirely; the other is in the hospitals where he sees, not only the havoc wrought on brain, but in the whole body-the kidneys, the heart the lungs and the whole nervous sys- tenn. Some one of you may say, "Oh, pshaw. There is old Mir. Smith who has used tobacco all his life, and he is fifty years old and he is all right" This is weak argument, for no doubt if "Mr. Smith" were examined you would find the poison marks of nico- tine on heart, lungs and other parts of the body. Rest assured that "Mr Smith" would not advise you to take up the habit

SAVES WASTE PAPER AND
 LOSES MORE BY FIRE One Schools Hard Luck Causes Warm ing to be Issued to Local Fire
 Insurance Agents.

The movement for the conservation of waste paper has already caused more loss in Arkansas through fire than the paper salvage value would amount to in many years. according to a warning bulletin issued to local fire insurance agents by Manager J. s. Speed of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau.
 The destruction of the school build ing at Russellville recently is attrib- uted, in the bulletin, to the storage of paper collected by the pupils
 The local fire insurance agents are asked, in the circular, to call the at- tention of the school authorities to the danger that rests in this growing custom, which has resulted, eays. the circular from campaign for naper salvage inaugurated by the United States government.
 If paper is to be collected by pupils and concentrated at school buildings it should be baled and shipped the same day, and unless such measures are taken, concludes the circular, "the increased fire hazard will of necessity be charged to the school in their in- surance rates.

On Wednesday morning the Union
county chairman of the Red Cross War

from Mr.. K. H. King, State agent for
the Red Cross at Charleston:
"Advices from Washington indicate
tremendous encouragement and sue
cess throughout the United States.
Telephones and telegraph reports
from all parts of South Carolina most
encouraging. Some counties are Just
organizing. Some have raised half
their amounts. All are determined
to exceed apportionment.
Governor Manning offers a State

raised. Also a United States flag and
State championship to the county
which on Tuesday morning, June 26th.
has exceeded its allotment by larg-
est percentage.

Union county's chairman hopes that
every section of the county will rally
IN the support of this noble work, as
the money given will mean so much
IN the future to relieve suffering SOL
diers, and by giving now Union may
have the honor of winning the United
States flag and State championship
offered by Governor Manning. This
fund cannot be raised solely by
means of $1.00 subscriptions, and
every man and woman who can give

Three Concerns Destroyed
Another Damaged
Dixie Cafe, Union Candy Kitchen
and City Barber Shop Conn.,
pIefeIy Wrecked-Dam-
age About $4,000.

"A destructive fire occurred here
early Monday morning and caused
damage to the extent of something
like fifteen thousand dollars. Con-
Germs and property owners lost heav-
lily. The Dixie Cafe, Union Candy
Kitchen and the City Barber Shop
were wiped out, and the buildings in
which these concerns were operating
were completely gutted.
The fire is thought to have originat-
ed in the large cellar which extended
under both the Candy Kitchen and the
Dixie Cafe. Just how it originated is
not known.
The fire alarm was turned in about
1920 Monday morning and the fight
to extinguish the flames was kept up
,sfor more than three hours. Owing to
Sshe dense smoke and the location of
We fire it was with difficulty con-
trolled.
The Dixie Cafe, owned by Mitchell
Psiloson and Charlie Bellisory, was
insured for $4,000 with value Of
$4,000. The building was owned by
Geo. W. Going and was insured for
$1,000, perhaps less than 80 per Int
of its value.
The Candy Kitchen, conducted and
owned by George Couchell was in
sured for $1,500, the value being $3,-
800. The building was owned by Geo.
w. Going and was insured for $500,
that being less than half it's value.
The City Barber Shop was owned
by Jno. r. Mathis and was almost a
total loss to the owner, there. being no
Insurance. This building was owned
by the s. 8. Linder estate, and was
partially insured.
The j. F. Mcclure Co.'s store was
flooded with water and the stock of
goods badly damaged by the fire.
