MEMORIAL FUND.

It will probably be read with immense amount of self satis- faction and honest pride by the people of Jefferson county that the donations to the Jefferson county memorial fund have now reached the magnificent total of $126.50.
 It is almost inconceivable that this huge sum could have been donated, without a single solicitation within the space of two weeks!
 Yet, the fact remains. A mere consideration eof the thing immediately involves figures which are staggering. Just imagine! If subscriptions continue to pour in, something like $3,024 will be raised within year almost enough to provide a foundation for a monument, and within twenty or thirty years, if the lads who were in it live that long and prosper sufficiently to put the thing across, a fit ting memorial as a testimonial of the appreciation of the peo- pie of Jefferson county will result.

BRIDGE WHITCOMB BAYOU.

The Leader has received requests
from residents on the far side Of
Nhitcomb bayou urging that the
proposition of putting a bridge across
this narrow and shallow expanse OF
water be kept before the people until
it becomes a reality. -
The property owners over there will
Join in any reasonable proposition that
will give them shorter route to the
city, and this bridge is a small matter
which can easily be put through if
the people want it badly enough. It
would in no way prevent the building
of boulevard around the bayou when
that was decided upon-both would be
improvements the value of which is
not easily estimated.

A DISTINGUISHED GUEST

Edward N. Harden, one of the lead
ing journalists of the country, accom-
panied by Mrs. Harden and his sister
Mrs. George R. Macfarlane of Tampa,
was in the city yesterday, motoring
over from Tampa. Mr.. Harden's home
Is in New York. He will be remem-
bered by readers of magazine articles
and lead stories in big dailies dis. one
off the country's most progressive
writer's, and at one time owner of the
Chicago News. He was war CORE
spondent on board Admiral Dewey's
flagship, the Olympia, on that memo
rable day, July 4, 1898, when the bat
tie of Manila was fought, and he sent
the first newspaper account of the
battle to this country.
Mr.. Harden, we understand. has
since left the work of journalism and
has taken up the banking business in
New York, being closely connected
with leading fnanciers of that city.
He is a brother of Mrs. George R.
fIarfarlane of Tampa, whose husband
was for years special deputy collector
of customs for that port.

A THOUSAND YOUS.

When you pick up your morning or
afternoon newspaper and glance over
the advertising you quite unconscious
ly multiply yourself thousand times.
In half of an hour you can, meta
phorically speaking, visit every pro-
gressive store in town. You virtually
poke your head into every department
of every department store. You run
into the florists the oculist's, the lead
ing groceries, banks, theatres, all the
various places that supply the things
that make this the twentieth century
and life worth the living. Here. is
greater choice in clothing, food, furni-
ture, books, pictures, musical instru-
ments, travel, entertainment, oppor1
tunities for investment the service of
public utility corporations than any
monarch of old could command.
1t would easily take a thousand
yous, travelling hard all day, to find
out for yourself what the advertise
ments tell you in few minutes morn
ing or evening.
They deserve your attention. They
deserve your confidence. Without
them, without the progressive spirit
Of the merchants and manufacturers
who back them, the great abundance
of things you now enjoy would be a
something still to be re-
allied. Without advertising the prices
you would have to pay for many of
the necessities you now buy for few
pennies would make dollar look like
a snow ball on the kitchen range.
Read the advertisements. Read them
for your own information and advan-
tage. Read them to encourage the
advertisers who are making these bet
ter things possible for you.

Costly Fires

Huns S Work
MANY PROVED TO BE FROM
OTHER CAUSES; CARELESS
SMOKERS RESPONSIBLE FOR
FIFTEEN MILLION.

New York, Jan. 10.-Careless smok-
ers and users of matches were re-
sponsible for $15,T24,556 of the total
loss Of $50 0.4G6,054 worth of property
BY 'preventable fires" in the United
States during 1918, according to mem
bcrs Of the Fire Marshals' Association
of North America who are holding a
two days conference here with the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters.
| Figures showing that the United
States leads the world in property de-
struction by fire were given in the
opening session, the damage per capi-
ia being stated as S2.10 annually in
this country as. compared with 40
cents in France, 80 cents in England,
! 28 cents in Germany, 25 cents in Italy
md Austria, Is cents in Switzerland,
md = cents in Holland.
Homer Rutledge, Of Lansing, Mich,
fire marshal of that state, discussed
The Arson Trust" and showed how
Iincendiaries had burned 42.t21,816
worth of property in one year during
the war, exclusive of the many other
millions destroyed indirectly by cx-
plosjons, Ole 0. Roe, of Des Moines,
fre marshal of Iowa, in an address on
"Pyromania," said education was one
Of the most efficient means of combat
ting this evil. F. R. Morgaridge Of
New York, formerly assistant fire
marshal of Indiana, said most fire
bugs were adolescent boys and girls.
He advocated proper home and school
training.
Despite the fact that the United
States was at war and that enemy
agents were active, twenty states re-
ported slight decrease in the num-
Der of cases of arson. While it was
announced as a fact that in the first
nine months after America drew the
sword $43,000,000 worth of war in
dustries went up in smoke, in only ten
per cent of these cases was there even
suspicion of spy-work. "Carelessness"
was designated as the biggest firebug
of all. One grain elevator fire alone
destroyed enough wheat to make a
years supply of bread for 100000 SOL
diers.
Many fires at first attributed to Ger
man spies and pyromaniacs were
found, upon investigation, to be due to
other causes. One notable instance
was spectacular and costly water
front fire in Brooklyn, the Dow's
stores, in which vast quantity of
grain intended for shipment to the al
lies was destroyed. 1t was discovered
that the blaze was the result of dust
explosion caused by spark either
from friction or static electricity. An
other conspicuous instance was the
Baltimore pier fire which at first was
positively ascribed to pro-German
plotters, Rigid investigation by fed
eral agents, according to fire mar
shals definitely determined it's non-in-
cendiary origin.
Following a reference to the Nor
gan, N. j., disaster in which nearly
cne hundred lives were lost and $780,
100000 damage done, delegates spoke

duced to the minimum by proper
watchfulness, water protection, isola-

regulations in regard to smoking and
the use of matches and lights.
H. c. Brearly one of the speakers,
said New York city was in imminent
peril of great confagration when
on Nov. 7, after the erroneous report

of the German surrender, a "storm"
