Additional Editorial

Judge VIM: Murray, in conversation
with the writer, states that the wages
for county officials are no higher THIN
they were when he held the office
of county judge some fifteen or twen-
~ years ago Back in those days,
Mr.. Murray was employed by the
Great Norther:I Railway Go. as car
foreman with salary Of $75 a month,
which was considered good in those
days. The car men received from
sac to s45 a month. Today, the car
foremen receive a wage Of 500 a
month while the car men get 81 cents
an hour for an eight hour day. The
county officials should receive more
pay and they should have no hes;tancy
in asking the legislature to give them
what they earn.

By the way, have you ever taken
an inventory Of your home to ascer-
tain just what is the value of your
general household equipment. A
Minot man took a pencil and paper and
did a little figuring. He had been
carrying $1,000 insurance on his house
hold goods. His is modest bunga-
low and he thot that would cover his
loss in case Of fire fairly well. He
was surprised to learn that in one
room he had about $500 worth of eff
fects, including a $500 piano while a
fair estimate of the value Of his en-
tire household effects is nearly $4,000.
He lost no time in increasing his in
surance. This is not an insurance ad-
vertisement.

More than half of the damage done
by fire in Minot and other northern
cities during the winter comes from
the improper handling of ashes, &C.
cording to a statement made by Win
field Leas, chief of the Minot fire de-
partment. Mr.. Leas urges the peo-
pie of Minot to use caution in the
care of their ashes, particularly lig-
mite coal ashes. Fire will remain in
these ashes for days at time and so
many people dump them in places
where the first stiff wind endangers
adjacent buildings. Fifteen hun
dred homes daily are burned in the
United States on an average. Be
careful that your home is not included
among them.
