Small Blaze Sunday

The people Of Kimballton were
aroused from their early Sunday
morning slumbers by the changing OF
the fire bell. Many fastened to an
swer the alarm which came from the
o. II. Jacobsen farm just outside OF
town. Upon arriving GREATNESS at
the Jacobsen home they found that
the fire had been extinguished by
members OF the family and willing
neighbors.
The fire was in the roof of the
house and undoubtedly started from
sparks from the chimney. The fire
had not gained much Roadway when
discovered and was soon put out by
the aid of few fire extingiushers.
A hole was burned in the roof but
the interior of the house was not
damaged in the least.

THE OPEN SEASON FOR YANKs

Mexicans have bagged another
Yankee and are holding him for 50,-
900 pesos ransom. Our unfortunate
fellow citizens name is Zacatecas.
The open season for Yankees has ov-
err a year to run. 1t will close
March 4, 1921. Until then the sport
probably will be good and profitable.
There may be conceivable circum-
stances which would find Mr.. Wilson
in office after IL o'clock noon, on
our conception. We think it is so
extraordinarily unlikely that it can
be regarded as impossible.
1t is conceivable that another pres
ident would continue Mr. Wilson's
Mexican policy, but that also we re-
gard as so unlikely as to be virtually
impossible. This policy is peculiarly
Mr. Wilson's own and we do not be-
lieve that any one else will take
much pride in it or waste much eff
fort in trying to carry 1t out. Mr..
Lansing called it "supine" and peo-
pie on the border call 1t intolerable.
We think Mr.. Wilson will stick to
1t. He is tenacious. He melts
about the way the ice does in the
polar regions and his processes of
change are about as rapid as those
of inorganic evolution. II Mr..
Wilson had life job in Washington
as president his Mexican policy
would survive with him.
Even within year and couple
of weeks an active Mexican can get
in considerable sport. Americans
do not seem to get IL through their
heads that their own country out
laws them in Mexico. Consequent
ly they continue 70 enter that coun-
try and expose themselves to the
Mexican pot hunters. AS the Next
cans realize that the season is about
to close on them they probably Will
intensity their efforts.-Chicago

to come.
Many people of qualified Judgment
state that in the near future Memphis is
