Guyenmers Death.

The French nation is in MOURN
ing over the. death Of Captain
George Guycnmer,
Captain Guyenmer was the great
est aviator the war has produced.
He was most spectacular and ro-
mantle figure. He was knoMn as
the "ace" Of the great French force
Of aviators. He is credited with
having brought down fifty three
German flyers in his numel Gus
fights over the battle lines. On
one occasion he engaged four
hostile aeroplanes and shot down
two OF them. crippled the third and
chased the other back over the Ger
man line.
His achievements Won for him
practically every military honor in
the Gift of the French government.
Although he was less than twenty
three years old his example of
courage and daring, his loyalty aud
his many brilliant exploits have
done much TO keep the enthusiasm
of the aviators 10 the allied armies
at high pitch. Twice he was des-
perately wounded but he always in
sisted upon returning to work and
his ambition was to shont down a
! hundred German machines. Guyen-
mer became the worlds greatest
aviator after being rejected as a
volunteer for service in the infan>
try. His physical condition caused
doctors TO refuse him admission to
l the army on several occasions and
in desperation lie began course of
training for the air squad. Through
one of those twists of fate which
have occurred SO often during the
war he was accepted for aviation,
although the requirements are
much more strict-than for entrance
to the infantry,
His progress was rapid, he SEEM
ed to lear almost charmed life If
indeed he has fought his last battle
his spirit will long live as an inspi-
ration to thousands of aviators who
are training in America, France and
England.

Fire Prevention Day.

Uel W. Lamkin, superintendent
of public schools, contributes the
following which the Democrat is
glad to give space
The 9th of October is the Anni-
versary Of the Chicago Fire. 1t is
Fire Prevention Dayl
We lost nearly Million Dollars
more money last year in Missouri
by fire than we spent on our coun-
try schools! and fire destroyed
enough school property in the state
to keep 6400 Missouri children in
school a yearl
Fire Prevention is as important
as fire Protection. The pupils in
public schools high schools and
elementary schools, can do much
toward preventing fires. Fire Pre-
vention Day affords the opportunity
to bring to them instruction in pro-
tectine property from loss by fire
Before the winter starts. they
could see that fiues were cleaned
out, rubbish removed. and home
premises made reasonable safe:
They could guard against the care
lessly dropped match. the overheat-
ed stoves. the dangerous bonfire.
They should be drilled to make
proper exit from school buildings
in case Of fire.
Big fire losses make big fire in
surance premiums. Lessening the
fire hazard lowers the insurance
rate. Let the children help. sS5M
Every fire insurance agent in
your community will give you any
assistance you want or need in
bringing this matter home to your
pupils. Use them all. Make your
school serve the community and
make the whole community serve
your school !.
Let Missouri children do their
part toward protecting Missouri
property from fire loss.

Frsnce has called again for more

Missouri Troop Merger.

There is CONSERVATION and amaze
menr in. the ranks Of the Missouri
National Guard. The War Depart
ment has ordered the merging Of
certain units with others. a redis.
tribution Of forces and certain
changes that will amaleamate Mis-
souri, soldiers with those Of Kansas.
The identity Of the Guard regiments
for long the pride Of the State, is
10 be lost for the most part The
work thai many Guard officers have
given their time. their private
means and long periods Of their
lives TO the doing is to be undone
|. OF course, the State authorities.
influential citizens and others have
protested The soldiers themselves
are prevented by regulations from
making any protest All that is
left to them is to watch the orders
carried out and witness the disinte-
gration Of the commands they have
labored to build up. This falls with
singular force on the officers ofthe
two ST. Louis commands. the First
and Fifth. The First. as il stands,
10 the work of years done by little
group of devoted men. The Fifth
went to camp looking more like a
regiment of trained men than a
recently raised unit
Municipal patriotism and finan-
cial sacrifices on the part Of its
officers made this possible.
But-the big job just no~ is to
win this war The War Department
believes that these troops can be
used to better advantage by redis-
tributiDg them than by keeping
them intact All protests and sr-
euments have been referred to Gen.
Wright at Fort Sill for final disposi.
tion. II is not likely that he will
greatly alter the War Departments
plans
Doubtless, if Guard officers were
in a position where they could talk
they would be able to present a
case against the ruling that would
run FAR back to a great many dis.
examinations against the Guard oD
the part of the Regular Army
These grievances are traditional ir
every Guard headquarters in the
country. Every Guard officer. past
and present, knows them.

One striking observation made from
the above Is that the smallest school in
the county, Mineral Spring, led in its
district, No. 5. whereas the largest
school in the county, the Oakland Gram

n view OF the approach of the winter
season, we feel il cur duty 10 call the
attention If natural gas consumers TO
the conditions with which we are con-
frontcd, and accompanying cold
weathr.
Each winter we haye experienced an
increased demand for natural gas. The
colder the weather the more excessive
il il. and the coming winter, due to the
high price Of coal, we anticipate it Will
be greater than ever. After con-
tinuously exhaustlng our gas fields for
many years past, we are compelled to
operate with reduced pressures and a
decreased supply, both of which are
temporarily affected by extreme or
continued low temperatures. Such a
combination Of conditions is beyond our
power to control and it is possible for
brief periods our service may be made
quate and should not be relied upon
without some risk of personal discom-
fort. We therefore, at this time de-
sire to give due notice of such posi-
bilities, and recommend and urge all
the consumers. and especially those
using gas in furnaces, to provide them
selves with some other fuel and be fully
prepared in case of any shortage, and
