was s1.284,33S. Included in this
amount were Is elevator fires with q

"a record which Commissioner Van
Camp emphasized in his address as
che of which the state might well be
proud, and one IL duplicated during
the months to come is certain to
shortly put South Dakota in the fore

The decrease was accredited to
several causes A general change of
public sentiment from a seldom-ex-
pressed appreciation of the mar who

Another important factor has been
cooperation of the field men and in
spectors of the various insurance
companies of whom there are 40 in
the state. secured through the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters.
They are carrying on a general cam
raign of education. and watching lest
over-zealous agents insure a man so
heavily that it is a temptation rather
than a protection. The newspapers
OF the state have given much free
space to fire prevention suggestions.
Through the cooperation of the state
educational department and the
teachers of the entire state, the chill
dren are studying fire prevention and
learning its Importance. All this has

voters had cast a majority vote for
a new consolidated school, the town
board was face to face with the
proposition of selecting a new site.
Two sites were offered and the board,
being unable to come TO a decision,
left the matter to the voters, who, at
a special election, expressed their
preference for one of the locations.
Contracts for the erection of the
schoolhouse will now be let.
The following item from the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader is identical with
the ordinances of most cities of the
state in regard to the right-of-way OF
automobiles: Unless drivers of auto
mobiles pay more attention to the
city ordinances there is bound to be
trouble, and some will have heavy
damages to pay If there are not
more serious results" an official
stated. One of the rules laid down
by the city ordinances provides that
in all cases, no matter what the cir
cumstances, when two cars approach
an intersection. n car coming from
the south or north and the other
from the east or west, that the car
TO the right has the right-of-way.
The fact that N car is going up or
coming down a hill has no bearing
on the case. The above rule is abso-
lutely ignored. There have been
many close calls from mix-ups be-
cause of miX-ups through disregard of
this auto ordinance. A driver who
thinks his car is slightly in the lead
for the intersection drives away. pay
ing no attention to the right-of-way,
which goes to the driver of the car
on the right.

Paris. Feb. 1.-Commenting upon
the interview 10y Premier Clcmcnceau,
which occupied the place of honor in
all the Paris newspapers, Alfred Ca
pus in the Figaro says: with its Wig
orous and hardy pessimism, it is nn act
of ardent patriotism. 1t is just
the plain language which ii is fitting
to talk to France and her allies mt
the present moment. France should
be made 10 recall that her enemy
wished for fifty years to cripple her
and has not given up that design. The
allies must be told that the victory
bought with so much blood and sacri-
flee will remain II prec:irous one il
they do not know how to complete it.
Finally, Germany must he shown that
she can no longer deceive us and that
il is our firm intention to make peace,
also, to the finish Premier Clemen
ccau has never been more lucid or
stronger than in these declarations,
which will have considerable effect"

ference if what is characterized as the
obstructive policy of the French press
and certain French officials continues,
1t developed today. Representatives OF
various other powers taking part in
the peace conference, it is declared,
believe thar the work of the body is
being greatly hammered through I'M
friendly criticism by the French press
of various leaders In the conference.
During the war there was seldom
any difficulty. despite the serious
handicap of the censorship, in getting
| through new matter from France in
| reasonable time and in plentiful vol
| ume. largely over the direct French
| cable line. Since the delegates began
assembling for the pence monference,
however, and especially since the con-
| ference started, the communication
with France has been of the most I'm.
certain sort. Virtually no news has
| been received over the French cable
line, the best and quickest means of
communication. since the conference
began. All the cable and wireless SER
