County Clerk w. E. Miller has re-
ceived the special book which was
ordered by the board of supervisors
at its last regular meeting, through
the recommendation of the Hon. A.
| w. O'Harra, entitled Record of Sol
diers IN World War" and is pre-
pared to begin the task of making
for the future a history Of the boys
who have and are in the future to
serve their country. The record pro-
vides for the name of the soldier,
together with his family history, and
the enlistment and service, including
date of enlistment, where enlisted,
date selected, and date of leaving
the United States also department
of service and rank, which includes
company, name of captain, regiment,
name of colonel, division, name of
commander, together with his latest
address. The inquiries will be sent
to the nearest relative or friend OF
each soldier enlisted from this coun-
ty. The purpose is to keep in the
county recorders office at the court
house complete history OF each
soldier as a public record. For the
present it will be used for furnishing
latest address of soldiers to inter-
ested friends. AS reports are sent
in by the soldier or his relatives, a
record will be made of each, and
when the war is over this war record
viii be the most interesting and val
liable book in the county. The CO
operation of relatives and friends OF
our soldier boys is absolutely neces-
sary in furnishing promptly the In
formation desired, as well as change
in address and change in branches
of service in the future. County
Clerk w. E. Miller is willing to do
his part. which involves much time
and labor in keeping the record, II
other parties will furnish the desired
information, and thus a complete
history of the soldier
during his service may be furnished.
which will be of inestimable value

ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE

COME, CLOSE THE BOOK.
Come, close the book The hour is late,
The light grows dim, the Is cold,
Alone hear at measured rate
The quaint hall clock grave, old.
Dismiss the shadows that have been
Companions in this midnight nook;
The fancys folk that have seen
Must now be left. Come, close the book
TITS with regret the end appears;
These mimic friends for real took
And loved their loves and shared their tears,
AS II ], too, were in the book.
So when for me the light burns low,
May friendship with its last fond look
Still feel touch of afterglow,
AS I. in truth, shall close the book.

GIVES "SAFETY FIRST" IDEA
Country's Homes From Pos
sibe Accident.

The safety Of Che home is the sub
ject of pamphlet issued by the bu-
reau of standards, Department of Com
merce, entitled safety for the House
hold, Bureau of Standards, Circular
No. TO-" An interesting account of
household hazards is given. The top
les are discussed clearly in a manner
which would afford Il basis for popular
education in safety first" The dam
gers from electricity, gas, fire, light
ming, household chemicals and the 9TH
er common causes Of accident are re-
cited and many actual cases are de
scribed. The purpose is to aid in re-
moving needless risk and fear. and to
develop intelligent caution where the
hazard cannot be entirely avoided.
The hazards of the home have in
creased in modern times. from the serv-
ice of gas and electricity and the use
of such dangerous articles as matches,
volatile oils. pois0ns and the like. The
use Of energy in the home necessarily
involves some ris', which intelligent
planning and care win reduce to "a min
imum.
Caution alone is not enough, since
many of the dangers are not even sus-
pected. The nature OF such unknown
hazards must be made plain. The cir
cular emphasizes the seriousness of
some of the risks not generally known,
gives simple cautions and aims to guide
the formation Of habits of carefulness.
The circular also suggests effective
home equipment TO minimize the risks
involved and aims TO encourage pub
lie measures to provide safety for the
household and community.
1t is intended, not to increase fear
of accident, but rather to remove the
causes and the need for alarm. The
sense of safety to be gained by observ-
ing these cautions would alone justify
the-careful study of this new circular.
This circular completes the series of
three popular household circulars
which deal with measurements, mate
rails and safety. These form a valu-
able addition by the bureau of stand
ards to the literature on household
management.
The appalling loss Of life from avoid
able causes and injury TO person and
property make the pamphlet especially
timely. 1t is believed that thousands
of human lives could be saved and acct
dents reduced to the minimum If the
precautions suggested are followed.
Copies of this circular can be purchas-
ed at nominal cost of 10 cents per
copy from the superintendent of doc
uments, government printing Office,
