PERSONAL LIABILITY

Personal Liability-If every city in Arkansas would pass an ordinance con taining a personal liability clause in one of it's sections 1t would do much toward reducing the fire loss ratio, and consequently the insurance costs in the state and help to keep them reduced.
 By personal liability here is meant that where a fire prevention in- spection has been made by the proper authorities and unsafe conditions or fire hazards are found on any premi- ses, and a notice for their correction or removal has been given to the per sons responsible for such condition and such notice is ignored or neglect ed and afire results, either directly or indirectly from the condition com plained of, then the responsible per son or ersons shall be held liable in civil action for all costs of the fire de- partment in extinguishing the fire. This, however, not relieving them from criminal prosecution for the vio- lation of any ordinance covering the conditions What could be fairer than that?
 Why should every taxpayer in the city be responsible for pro rata part of the cost of putting out fire for a careless or neglectful person when he has been cautioned that by allowing certain conditions to exist about the premises he is inviting fire, which is likely to occur at any time Let the careless one pay. the cost.
 A few cities in the United States have adopted such an ordinance, and while only, perhaps, one or two of them have as yet had to enforce it's provisions, they all claim that the fact that such an ordinance exists brings splendid results in the matter of removing and cleaning up fire haz- ards. Of course such provisions ap- ply only where fire occurs from the condition complained of, and it's cor rection or removal having been ig- nored or neglected.

NOVEMBER CROP REPORT FOR
 ARKANSAS

The November crop report for Ar kansas, in comparison with the report for previous month, shows slight loss es in estimated production of corn, Irish potatoes, and sorghum for syrup and a decided loss in peanuts, but a gain in the production of apples. There are practically no changes in the con dition figures for other crops. With the exception of the last week in Oc- tober, conditions for harvesting have been favorable and good progress has been made in picking of cotton and threshing of rice. The final figures for the year will be given out on or about January 10th
 CORN: Corn in the northern third of the state averaged about 29 bushels per acre, but in the southwestern part due to the damage by cut worms, the yield was only 16 bushels to the acre. Through the rest of the state it ran from 19 to 23, and the general average for the state is 23.4 bu. per acre. Not counting what is hogged off or kept for silos, the indicated total prcduc- tion for grain is 60,20S,000 bushels. The quality of 8S per cent is s points above the ten year average, and the yield is 3 bushels above the average. Reports indicate that only 1 per cent of last years crop was in the hands of farmers on November 1st of this year.
 The amount of corn cut for silos far less than should be the case. Re- turns from alb over the state indicate that only 8-1O of l per cent of the corn crop is cut for silos. The average yield per acre, however, for corn silage for this year is 3-4 tons.
 Weight of measured bushels: Spe- cial returns from the voluntary report CTS througout the state show that the average weight of wheat this year was

HARMLESS" SPARKLERS ARE !
 FATALLY DANGEROUS

Frequently we have heard it said that the fireworks" known as spark lers are safe and harmless for the use of children, even inside the home and won't burn or set fire to any thing. Let's see about that.
 In one months report of the Fire Marshal of Washington D. C., we find the cause of eight fires give as Fireworks -Sparklers." That would indicate that they do burn-eight of them did; therefore as a reminder for Thanksgiving and Christmas cele- brations, which times. are fast ap- preaching, let us paste this fact up for future reference, and don't use them or any other kind of fireworks {; they deal out death and destruction sadly too often.
 Here's another: Edna Hancock, ten-year-old girl> of Trenton was burned to death by the ignition of her clothes from a sparkler." Up to that time, this year, two other children, six and seven years of age, were burned to death from the same cause -sparklers. According to the Phila- delphia Ledger, 3S children lost their lives by sparklers in that city within the last thirteen years. Don't let us have to report any sparkler deaths among the children of Arkansas.

PRIEST IS MURDERED
FATHER GRIFFIN FALLS VICTIM
IN BRITISH REIGN OF TER

The body of Father Griffin, the cur
ate of Bushy Park, Ireland, who dis
appeared several weeks ago, was found
in shallow grave about four miles
from Galway. There was bullet
wound in his temple. The body was
brought to Galway. @
The body of Father Griffin was
found in bog by the roadside near
Darna,. four miles from Galway. Vol
unteers had been searching for the
missing man since he was kidnapped
by three unknown persons the Sunday
previous. A party of country lads
made the tragic discovery.
The lads observed in the bog what
appeared to have been recent up
heaval. They began probing into the
mound with sticks and finally uncov-
cred the overcoat of the priest. With
out preceding any further they sent
for priests in Galway. and when they
arrived, working under their direction
by moonlight, unearthed the body of
the missing curate. The bullet wound
in the head of the priest was evidence
of the cause of his death.

A warm TRIBUTE
OFFICER PRAISES POLISH CLERGY
AND CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

g. In an article where the chaos of Boil
shevism in Russia is masterfully ana
lyzed at first hand, Capt. Francis Nc
Cullough, writing in the New York
Herald, tells of life in Russia and ST.
IBERIA from which he escaped and which
the natives themselves eagerly flee at
every opportunity. 49,
Capt. Mccullough eulogizes the
priests of the Catholic church, in par
ticular the Polish churches, in which
he says, asylum is found for the sane
in a mad country.
''The Polish churches not only in
Moscow but all over Siberia were
crowded with men as we'll as women;
and l always felt better, physically and
spiritually, after visiting them. They
were calm asylums for the sane in a
country which had gone mad. Even
their severe Latin architecture and the
plain Latin cross on the steeple were
a. relief after the twisted Oriental
style, barbaric colors and distorted
crosses of the Orthodox churches;
while, on the other hand, the warm
glow of life which pervaded them was
an equally welcome contrast to the
deathlike stiffness of the Reformed
chapels."
