of the House of Representatives. the cry
ing need of paid fire department IN
this city. and to urge upon them the ne
cessity of creating such a body. The
need is particularly apparent at this time
when the country is ut war and when a
positive incentive exists for iDccndlary
destruction.
1--WE have an expensive system OF pri-
vate watchmen. The government has
posted military guard at our plant,
and we have an efficient private fire
brigade and equipment, but all of these
precautions would be of small avail IN
case of fire, had we no better assistance
from the city than it now can offer.
I'VE have no doubt but that the pres
ent volunteers do the best they can under
the circumstances, but with n paid de-
partment and an efficient organization
we believe we would not have suffered as
severely as we did on the occasion of the
recent fine at our plant. The monetary
damage therefrpm was about S15,WO,
but the cost Of the delay in the building
of our ships cannot be computed except
to say our deliveries have been DELAYED
several months-when ships are needed.
1--WE have been tempted to crlticise
the existing volunteer service, but have
refraincd because we feel criticism un-
less constructive Is useless. You, gentle
men. can now be constructive and
give TO the city the class of protection
it's position in the business world demands.
Again. we, therefore, urge as Il war mea-
sure your favorable consideration of the
bill now pending which has for its pur-
pose the creating OF paid fire depart
mcnt for Wilmington.

THE ELKS DISTRIBUTE.
 CHRISTMAS BASKETS.

Over 100 baskets filled to overflowing with Christmas cheer were distributed yesterday by the local lodge of Elks and many families were made happy by be- ing provided with bounteous Christmas dinner, and provisions for several other meals
 The baskets, or rather large cartons, were packed with meats, vegetables, eof- fee, fruits, candies and other food com- modities and were sent to needy fami- lies with the compliments of the EIks and wish for & happy Christmas
 T am sure I voice the sentiments of every Elk when I say that we were amply repaid for whatever expense and trouble we were put to in preparing the baskets by the many expressions of ap- preciation and gratitude that came from the recipients said Charles w. Prick hoffer, chairman of the committee. While we did not find many cases of actual want, we did find many persons in needy circumstances, and | believe our little donation made happy many homes on this day of glad tidings and great joy that might otherwise have been lonely and sad Anyway, I am sure we all feel better for doing our bit to help those less fortunate than our- selves to spend brighter Christmas. 1 know that | do.

 The injured parties were taken to 2 nearby house, where they were given first aid treatment by local physician and later rushed to the Hillman hos pital in Shaw's amb bulance. The shooting caused great excitement at the mining camp and various reasons were assigned for it, domestic troubles being generally conceded as the cause of the tragedy.

SEEMS TO BE LARGE
 DEMAND FOR RABBITS

There are millions of rabbits in the West and Southwest that could be marketed in large cities, according to reports received by the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture. Efforts are being made by the Department of Agriculture and by individuals in this territory to in- terest dealers throughout the country in the possibilities of handling rabbits from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nevada, Kansas and other western states.
 Reports from ten large cities indi- cate good market demand for cot tontail and jack rabbits, with whole sale prices ranging from $2 to $5 a dozen for cottontails and from $1 to S6 dozen for jack rabbits, depend ing upon size and quality and dis tance of market from supply. The increased demand for rabbits this winter in some cities is due, say dealers, to meatless days and the high prices of meats and poultry.

STEERS $65; PASTURE SIS.

An idea of what cattle men are looking forward to for the pasture and marketing season of 1918, can be gathered from this item of news con- corning Kansas pastures.
 "James Dobbs, of Kansas City, just as a line on one of the big blue stem pastures of Butler county, Kansas has bought 5000 steers for $325, ,OO0 or $65 per head. These are big steers three, four and five years old. At present they are in Texas but will be brought to Kansas as soon as the grass is good in the spring and will be marketed from the Kansas pastures in the fall. Owners of pastures in Kansas are getting from $10 to $14 per head for running cattle through the season of 1918. These figures are said to be third higher than the prices paid last year."
