A Small Fire.

The fire alarm frightened people
Monday night between nine and ten
o'clock, as it was very windy night.
The blaze was in the upper story OF
Mr.. J. Mann's store, but the damage
was inmaterial, there being nothing
in the room. The fire burned through
from the fireplace in an adjoining
building upstairs. in room occupied
hv Mrs. J. P. Thomas. She was IN
another room on the same floor, oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Pad
gett, and was keeping company with
Mrs. Padgett during Mr.. Padgett's S
absence. Mrs. Thomas says the fire
in her fireplace had died down to a
few Goals when she returned there to
retire. AS she entered the room she
saw the reflection of the blaze
through the window and got there as
the alarm was sounded. The fire
company responded promptly and
quickly had the fire out with the
chemical hose. If Newberry had not
been so we'll protected in this respect
Monday night there would have been
another disastrous confagration.

MIR. Henry D. Boozer.

Another of the oldest citizens of
the county passed to the great be-
yond on Monday night when death
ccme to Mr.. Henry Dixon Boozer at
the residence of his. daughter, Mrs.
Y. C. Wilson. He had reached the
ripe and honorable old. age of 79
years. About ten days ago he had a
stroke of paralysis and again on
Monday night another attack from
which he suddenly passed.
Abought 18 months ago the COM
panion and helpmate of his long life
was called, and he then rented out
his farm and made his home with his
daughters, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. W..
D. Sem. He was buried beside her
at the cemetery at Smyrna church,
the funeral service being held on
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock con-
Quoted by his pastor, the Rev. 7. c..
Coker, assisted by the Rev. j. W.
Carson. He was ruling elder and
clerk of the session of this church
for 50 years.
Mr.. Boozer was the youngest OF IL
children of George Boozer and the
last to go to the land over there. He
was married to Miss Lucy Anderson
of Waterloo and they had happy
married life of So years, and lived
at his home in the Trinity neighbor-
hood in sight of his boyhood home
all of his long life. He is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Vernon c..
Wilson and Mrs. W. D. Sem and one
son, Mr.. Ben S. Boozer, all of New
berry county. There are ten grand
children and two great grandchlid-
rem.
Mr.. Boozer served the four years
of the War Between the Sections as
a private in Co. C. Holcomb Legion,
Capt. John R. Spearman.
Mr.. Boozer was we'll known and
respected citizen of this county and
kept up his visits to the city as long
as he was able to get about. Owing
to his advanced age and increasing
infrmities his visits to the county
seat were not so frequent as former
" and his friends missed him from,
the familiar streets through which he
was wont to stroll during his long
lifetime. It is not given to many to
reach the ripe old age to which ne
attained and to have the good for
tune to have the companion OF his
youth to journey with him almost to
the end of the way.

HOW CAN 1T BE oTHERWIsE7

Many of the larger cities are showing much dis
satisfaction with the returns Of the census. What
can they expect when it is a crime to have family?
If man with a family wants to rent an apart
ment, house or flat, what kind of time does he
have hunting place to hang his hat? How do
these cities expect to increase their population
without children? If poodle dogs were included in
the census there undoubtedly would be very sat-
isfactory increase every ten years.

ALL WOOL AND A YARD WIDE.

The American Wooden company has IN both COM
mon and preferred stock $6,o00,000. In 1919 the
net profits after payment of all taxes and setting
aside reserve for contingencies, were $15,5la41o'
We are told by sheep specialist OF one OF the
eastern universities that man who weighs 1'5
pounds requires three and one-haf yards OF cloth
to make suit the weight Of the clothing being
from ten to eighteen ounces per yard. Inc average
medium weight wool suit is made of goods weigh
ing fourteen ounces per yard. At three and one
half yards per suit the cloth in the entire suit weighs
forty mine ounces, or little more than three
pounds. In the manufacture of all wool cloth it
requires one and three-fourths pounds OF secured
wool to produce pound of cloth. =, 49,. 4.
Therefore, considering waste in manufacturing,
it requires about sixtytwo ounces of secured wool
for an average suit of clothes. Most Of the Indiana
secured wool is selling in Boston from 1926 to
$l.44 per pound. This wool scours around SO per
cent of grease and dirt. At $1.14 per secured
pound this makes wool worth cents per ounce.
As sxty-two ounces are requireds for the entire
suit then the cost of wool in the suit is $3.50.
If the suit is made Of the very best grade of
wool, which is selling at about $3.50 per secured
pound, then the wool in the suit will be worth $751;
1t will be seen from this analysis that the Amer
lean Wooden company, which dominates the wooden
markets, has very much more substantial share
of the profit than the farmers the WOODEN mill
workers.
