FIRES BREAK OUT;
 ... DAMAGE SLIGHT

About three o'clock yesterday afternoon the fire whistle sounded the alram and the town bell simul- taneously changed hurry call Both chemicals and fire departments turned out in a hurry. The guard tent put up for the convenience of the soldiers on duty was found to be ablaze. Nothing could be done to save it, and the tent and its con- tents consisting of some hunks and mattresses belonging to the A. E. C.. were consumed, nothing but the charred tent frame being left. The tent was situated on the high ground
 overlooking the Commission saw mill
 Sergeant Dayton had sent one of
 the men to build fire in the tent at half past two yesterday after
 noon, and it is thought that the stove got overloaded and set the
 tent on fire. There was nothing
 else in the tent except the hunks
 and mattresses .~. ..... At about half past eight o'clock the fire alarm sounded once more. i This time it happened to be at the | Rust House. An overcoat belong ing to one of the guests left hang ing in the lobby was ablaze; another guest turned in an alarm. The owner of the coat had his lighted pipe in the coat pocket short while before he hung up the coat. He
 took the pipe out and was smoking . it at the time the coat caught fire, and it is thought that in the act of taking the pipe out of the coat pocket, some of the lighted tobacco , remained in the pocket and the coat caught on fire.
 It was rumored around town that an overloaded stovepipe was the cause of the alarm. but such was not the case.
 Some little time ago an alarm was turned in from the Rust House on account of an overloaded pipe, but conditions have been improved recently and no further danger from this cause is anticipated.

WELL MERITED REWARD

Offices are now open in fourteen of the United States to receive the applications of disabled soldiers and sailors of the Amercan army and navy for education to equip them for the vocation for which they are most fitted. These offices have been established by the Federal Board for Vacations and are in the following cities: Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Minnesota, San Francisco and Seattle.
 At each office are stationed men to advise the disabled fighters as to what they are entitled to receive, a medical officer and a man to ob- tain employment for them when they are ready to go to worl, 1t is promised by the Federal Board that applications will be systemati cally considered with the best inter ests of the disabled men in mind. ~~ While receiving re-education, the government will pay the disabled man S65 a month and in addition will provide him with the funds necessary to pay educational fees. Each man accepted for re-education will be sent to an institution giving special courses in the line he has chosen or he will be given instruc- tion in any industry he wishes to learn
 During his training period allow ances will be made by the govern ment to his dependents such as wife, children and mother. These will be fixed in proportion to the amount they received while he was in active service.
 When the disabled man has fin ished his training, the Federal Board promises to have employment ready for him. After he has gone to work again his compensation from the War Risk Insurance Bu- reau begins and will continue un- affected by the amount of his earn ings.
 To make these appointments the Federal Board for Vocational Edu- cation states: .-.> "
 "The worst mistake disabled man can make is to drift into a low grade, unskilled occupation. Without any training, he must com pete with the normal man in a line of work where brute strength and physical fitness alone count and there can be no doubt as to the outcome when work become slack. Every consideration requires that a disabled man should obtain per manent employment at a desirable wage in the position for which he is best fitted or for which he can become best fitted. Otherwise his career will consist of alternate periods of more or less undesirable employment, idleness, trying to live on his pension and picking up an occupation. No self-respecting vet eran of this great war can afford to be placed in this position. There is only one escape by which these men may make their future safe and that is if training is necessary to obtain it through the Federal Board for Vocational Education.
 The temptation to take these low grade, unskilled jobs is very strong while war prices prevail. es- pecially as pay is higher because there is a lack of help and the quail ity of the work is not looked at too closely; but jobs commanding war prices and employing large numbers of particularly skilled or unsk lied hands are not always go- ing to exist. They are soon going
