October g.

Washington President Wilson. In a
proclamation, urged state governors to
set apart Saturday, October 9, as fire
prevention day and to request gen.
eral observance by the public
The need for bringing before the
people the serious and unhappy eff,
fects Of the present unnecessary fire
waste and the need of their individual
and collective effort in conserving the
natural and created resources Of Amer
ica.' was said by the president in his
proclamation to be especially urgent
for the following reasons:
The destruction by fire In the
United States involves an annual loss
Of life OF 5000 men, women and chill
dren and over $3.50, 100000 in buildings,
foodstuffs and other created resources,
"The need Of the civilized world for
American products to replace the raw
ages OF the great war is especially
great at this time.
THE present serious shortage Of
homes and business structures makes
the daily destruction OF buildings by
fire an especially serious matter.
"a large nercantaoa % e. -. -
causing the annual American fire
waste may be easily prevented by in
creased care and vigilance on the part
Of citizens"

Good Anqels.

Good angels do not of necessity OPP
crate from motive of helping certain
individuals. Often they are moved by
the thing to be done more than they
are by the idea of helping person.
This big, promising. painting world
needs help. In it lie untold POSSIBLE
tiles. Only a small fraction Of its
benefits are being received by men. So
the good angel helps When it sees
men struggling to advance good angels
help, for it is thus they advance tie
world. So in proportion as you try TO
benefit your fellow men YOU will be
coming under the observation of good
angels.-Grit.
