Our attention has been called to some things in connection with our fire equipment and organization that at this time are very timely First we need a better organization of the fire department, a new start and a new understanding all round to the end thct there may be greater efficiency. We are not informed but no doubt many of the old department has be- come scattered and really do not know if they are now on the fire department. Then, the public is at loss as to where to cali to get the department out in case of a fire. That was the case last week. No ore seemed to know where or to whom to turn the call in. When the fire hose reached the ire those with it found that a noz- zle had not been brought, All equip ment should be kept on the carts ready TOT lnstant use at all times. It would be good idea that the city council and citizens get interested in this mat ter at once, The Ire house is also without 2 roof that will protect the hose From the weather. The equipp- mont cost the city more than s2.0oo and would cost much more now. It shculd be taken care of. It is hoped -fhaf the council will go into this mat ger thoroughly, and let's get every- 'tnifs connected with it in the best shape possible. It looks like we were sleeping on our rights and not only | detsns valuable property become dan-l ased. but taking . chance on . dis- 9Egous Ire catching us nnpreparsd. uealls up.

Chicago. Nov. 21.-Dealers in all sorts of commodities, food, clothing, automobiles, real estate, say a tre- mendous wave of economy is sweep ing over the country. The mad money spending public has suddenly become the cold. calculating, money saving public. People are getting their feet back on the earth and looking carefully about in every di- rec:ton before they make move in any way that requires the outlay of money.
 With new levels 6h futufe markets. for gfas. ms. live stock and cotton, food commodity prices are decidedly "un- easy" and dealers predict decided declines Within the next two weeks. Thousands of people are losing their employment, thus reducing the buy- ing power of the public.
 This is reflected in food prices everywhere. with the exception of the restaurants and hoteIx, many of which are still operating on the war basis. Potatoes were selling . year ago at B hundred pounds. Today they are SHE. Butter is off 3cAnts 10. 64 cents. but egga have advanced rom z cents to s6 cents.

the many baffling angles connected
with the mysterious murder OF Jacob
c. Denton. wealthy retired mining

personal charge Of the investigation
and will likely, when warranted by de-
velopments, issue complaints for the

ask for their indictment.
One of the latest developments In the
murder OF Denton, whose lifeless body
was found last week In n carefully con.
structed cellar closet In his palatial
home, was the positive establishment
OF the fact that he met death through
strangulation. The rope which was
used by the slayers was found In the
death closet. II had been drawn so
tightly In throttllng him that 1t had
been buried deeply In his neck and
was blood stained.
