PRECIOUS RUBBER PLANT

1 Well, I said to Dick when he come home that if he'd marry Etta right away they could live in our house fthis winter and I'd give him his Grand
 mother Buttles' solid silver soup ladle. I'd give the sugar tongs to Judd when he was married, so it wasn't partial at all,
 Yes, they married right away all most, because pa and me wanted to get started south. and my, my what g relief it was to me to know I had
 somebody reliable to take care of my rubber plant! I knew I could trust
 Etta.
 Of course her mother is little l shiftless, and her fathers never done anything regular, just a little trans acting and doing without doing much, { but Etta takes after the Crewses. Her mother was a Crews and they was all ways pretty thrifty and careful. Some times them good traits skip a genera 1 ticn. as I've heard, so I guess Etta got all her mothers share. Anyway, she's an awful nice, capable girl and I'm glad Dick got her, though he could have | had them that's got money of their own. I I ain't saying who. But money ain everything.

 most people. We was burned out five tyears ago last fall and nothing much was saved but my rubber plant and Grandma Buttles' silver and my black l tsilk I had for the Worlds Fair. It's
 good yet. It's been turned twice It does pay to buy good stuff! But we had out health except pas asthma, that's been coming on slow for a Ing spell, and it didn't take us no tine to build again. I was real glad to have a 1 bay window for my rubber plant. I'd admired to have one ever since it got to growing so good.

 "Yes, we'll be home tomorrow by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. No we ain't

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY PROCLAIMED

Saturday, October 9, has been NAM
ed by Governor Lynn J. Frazier as
Fire Prevention Day in this state.
This day will not only be observed as
such in this state, but a proclamation
has been issued by President Wilson,
also designating this day as an i'm
portant factor in the campaign for the
conservation Of the national resources
by reducing the preventable fire waste
of the country and the terrible toll of
life and accidents. This day selected
since it is the anniversary of the Chi
cago fire. i
It is estimated that there are over
$4,000 persons killed each year, and
$4,000 injured as a result of fires.
The loss in earning power stated in
terms of dollars, is over two billions a
year, and that is the smallest part
when we take into consideration the
suffering and privation entailed.
The annual per capita fire waste in
the United States is $3.50; in Europe,
33 cents. Reason: The latter has bet
ter construction, less carelessness and
increased responsibility.
Observance of this day will be prac-
tically nation wide. The, fire mar
shal's department at Bismarck stands
ready to assist the people in North
Dakota in every way possible in re-
ducing fire hazards to the minimum,
and all should cooperate in an effort
to lessen this great national and state
waste caused by fire and accidents.

WOMEN VOTERS TO
Be INSTRUCTED

The general ballot to be used at the
coming fall election will be about the
size of a single page Of newspaper
and upon it will be printed the repub-
lican, democratic and independent
tickets. i This is the general ballot
only. There will be three others,
namely-the initiative measures bal
lot, the county superintendent of
schools and the state superintendent
of public instruction ballot, and the
judicial ballot. So many ballots will
perhaps prove confusing to the new
women voters, and for this reason
the League of Women Voters, a strict
ly non-party organization, has ar
ranged a series of meetings for in
structions in the processes of voting.
These meetings will be held in the
City Hall each Monday night until
election, beginning October 4, at eight
o'clock. Mrs. Frank White has spoken
on the republican ticket, and Miss
Gubelman who gives short talk on
the democratic platform and princi-
Piles next Monday night, preceding
the instructions as noted. The business
and professional women, as we'll as
the women of the home are cordially
invited to attend.
