Voting by ballot Is a positive, personal

Playing Safe.

II. J. Brennan, of the department OF
justice, said to a Chicago reporter:
II found 100000 pounds OF sugar
seuuestered in the Chicago railroad
yards One car had been there a year
and sugar spectators had sold and re-
| sold 1t ten times. Is 1t any wonder
sugar is high?
But to hear these sugar spectators
talk you'd think they were philan-
thropists whose one aim was to bring
the price down so that we could all
eat sugar. Humph They're about as
much philanthropists as old Gobsa Gold
was. Philanthropists for effect.
"Gobsa Gold was dying and his law
yer was taking down his will.
And to each of my employees who
has been with me for over twenty
years." Gobsa dictated in a weak voice,

During this week and next, some
100000 persons throughout the

information compiled by the Christ

OF this huge sum. two CHATTANOOGA
banks operating Christmas clubs will
pay TO depositors something like
$4,000. The Chattanooga Savings
bank will pay approximately $4,000,
while the Loveman bank will dis
tribute something like $4,000. The
two banks have a combined total Of
about 5000 deposltors In their clubs.
According to Bernard Loveman, the
Loveman bank club is about twice as
large as last year. He predicted that
next year will see few more deposit

unable to take care OF q great many
more.

TWO FISH HOUSES .S.z5. ss* q Hs 4,
=. =, 1 DESTROYED ~ FINE
Ole Anderson and II cIaus HsnsSa
=. Lost Al Their Fishing

: Last Friday evening about eight
o'clock the people Of the village
were again called by the ringing IF
the fire bell. This time it was Ole
Anderson's and Claus Hanson's fish
houses that went up in smoke. The
loss to these fishermen was consider
able as they had all their fishing rig
ging stored for the winter. Hanson
also lost a motor skiff and Anderson
lost one row boat. The other boats
were showed out onto the ice and
saved.
The fire was started by the II
plosion of gasolene lantern whi4h
Mr.. Anderson was trying to light
His hair and clothing were scorch{d
but received no serious injuries.
There was a barrel of gasolete
stored in Anderson's fish house aid
when it caught fire it made a roat-
ing blaze, splitting fire like a blo4-
torch. Another barrel partly fill4d
with gasolene exploded and was
thrown fifty feet or more into tie
air landing on the. ice several hund-
red feet from the building
There was a gale of northwest
wind blowing which carried the
blaze away from the adjacent build
ings, saving shed in which Ander-
sons large gasolene boat and other
skffs were stored.
There was no insurance on any Of
this property and the loss is heavy
to these fishermen at the present
high prices of twine and netting:
MIR. Hanson had just received a shin
ment of new netting which was
stored in his fish house.
