WHAT ABOUT
STREET PAVING?
1t is Up to the Business Men of Warren
to Tackle the Question of Permac
nent Street Improvements.

Every returning spring brings home
to the people Of Warren the urgent
necessity of doing something to improve
the, streets. With water and mud
churned into a knee-deep cruelty CON
sistency by the traffic of numerous
wagons and automobiles, our streets
certainly present a deplorable appear
sance. 1t is up to the citizens to face
the issue squarely and to devise some
remedy. Are we to wade in mud until
Gabriel blows his trumpet or shall we
take hold of the paving proposition in
dead earnest, determined to raise War
rem to the place it should occupy among
the progressive and up-to-date cities
OF the valley? Why not make Johnson
avenue permanent memorial street,
with tablets at suitable points in honor
of the Marshall county boys who have
taken part in the great war? Warren
has the reputation of doing things, now
let us see if we cannot take hold of
the paving matter and bring it to
happy solution. a

Better Fire Pro-

The Warren Fire Department plans
on the purchase of a motor fire truck in
order to more quickly and effectively
extinguish a fire before flames have an
opportunity to gain much Roadway.
The equipment on which negotiations
are now being made, consists of motor
truck carrying 1000 feet of hose and
also a chemical fire fighting apparatus.
The purchase Of this up-to-date equip

is a progressive move and one that
should receive the commendation Of all.
Much valuable property may be saved
from destruction by the prompt arrival

TURN CLOCKS AHEAD
SATURDAY NIGHT.

II You want to be ON time to
church next Sunday, remember. to
set your clocks ahead one hour ON
Saturday night, as that is when
the daylight saving law. takes
effect.
1t seems rather foolish to change
the clocks back and forth In order
to save time. when the same means
could be effected by simply setting
the alarm clocks SO as to arouse
the sleeping public one hour
earlier, but as the law to change
the clocks Is still effective, much
confusion can be avoided by turn
ing the clocks ahead.
The proper time to turn the old
clock ahead is at 2 a. m. Sunday
morning, but In case You do not
figure on staying up until then, can
be turned ahead before going. to
bed Saturday night.
Don't forget.

woman who was thought a great deal
of in the community where she lived
In the once happy home, where she was
permitted to stay for so short a time,

short as her life was on earth it was
rich in kind and loving service and self

Smut Survey Made
By The Farm Bureau
Tremendous Loss to Farmers in Mar.
shall County Due to
Smut.

A short time ago the Farm Bureau
Office conducted Smut Survey in the
county to determine the damage caused
by smut. A QUESTIONABLE was sent to
each Of the thirty-six elevators in the
county, asking the following questions:
How many cars of wheat have Won
shipped out Of the 1918 crop?
What was the average number of
bushels per car?
How many of these cars were docked
1 cent to cents per bushel because of
smut?
How many cars were locked 5 cents
to 10 cents per bushel?
How many were locked more than
10 cents?
Ten of the elevators responded
promptly and following is a summary
of their responses: S02 cars of wheat
were shipped by 9 Of these 10 elevators.
The 10th did not report the number Of
cars shipped. The average load was
from 1,185 to 1,4OO bushels. Thirty Of
these S02 loads were locked to cents
per bushel, or an average of 3 cents.
Frty-three Of the loads were locked
5 cents to 10 cents per bushel, or an
average Of Z cents per bushel, and
twelve were locked more than 10 cents
per bushel.
Figuring the dockage on every load
the actual 'dockage lost to farmers be-
cause Of smut from only nine out of
thirty-six elevators is $5,4994. This is
about 100000 bushels Of wheat out Of
100000 bushels raised as reported by
the threshermen's reports. At this
same rate Of loss, all the wheat raised
in the county, figuring conservatively,
there was an actual loss Of $16,382 to-
Marshall county wheat raisers due to
smut 10 :, <.
There is another tremendous loss not i
considered here, namely, the loss In
yield in the field. It isEsafe to assume
that this loss is even greater than that
In the case Of marketing. % This isaoas
wheat alone, and does not take into
consideration the loss on barley and
oats.
Keep in mind that out of these SO2
cars IS cars were locked because of
smut. In other words about ten per
cent of all wheat shipped was smutty.

Then shall in very truth we know

permits his insurance to lapse, he loses
that right, and he never will be able to
regain it,
But if he keeps up his present in

change it later into a standard Govern
