FIRE REPORT
Chief Sartor Gives Yearly Report
of Fire Department.

Joseph F. Sartor, Jr., chief of the
Alma fire department, submitted the
annual report of the fire department
TO the city commission Tuesday even
ing, showing the fire losses of the
year and the total valuation of the
property endangered by the blazes.
The report is remarkable showing
very small loss for the number Of
fires to which the department was
called, and considering the valuation
Of the property that was endan-
gered. 1t speaks highly of the abil-
ity Of the local department, and it
may possibly prove a means toward
lowering the fire insurance rates in
the community.
During the year the department
responded 70 &c fir- slarms. The to-
til sMoun ~ property endangered
by tne ties il placed si sS4G.3Oo.
Tae property loss is placed st 50. .l6l.
Of this AMOUNT 2,400 came &, one
fire. leaving less than $4,000 for the
other 20 calls that the department
received.
In addition to the 26 fires the de-
partment was called out nine times
by alarms where they were no blazes.

COLLINS MURDER
CASE To START
Monday VIII See Trial nj Al;nd
Mon Pu, Unoer Way at
ithacs.

On Monday, May $, the trial OF
Oscar Collins, charged with the mur-
der of Ellen Grove of this city, on
the night of February 3, will be
started in Circuit Court before Judge
f. j. Monet
o. l.. Smith, prosecuting attorney.
will handle the case for the people,
and the defendant will be represented
by Romaine Clark, a st. Louis at
torney.
Ii is expected that practically the
entire day Monday will be used in
securing a jury to hear the case. and
it is not entirely improbable that a
jury will not be obtained before Tues
day, because of the publicity that has
been given to the case.
After the jury is secured it is not
expected that it will take over three
or four days to try the case, although
it may possibly drag through the en-
tire week. This is hardly expected,
however.
From the evidence that was sub
mitted at the examination of Collins
some few weeks ago, it has become
increasingly evident that the prose-
cution has a strong case, especially
in view of the fact that it was stated
at that time that only sufficient evi-
dence would be submitted then to
hold Collins for trial.

SWAT THE BOOSTER"
b-u.r r,gvs viii Bs The Result 80.
Nansgs, McCr3cEeu.

"'Swat the rooster" is the slogan
Of up-o-date egg producers today,
according ~ n. G. McCracken, Of
the Produce Plant of Swift & Com
pany, who is taking a leading part
in the campaign for better eggs.
MANY eggs are spoiled before
they reach the consumer" said Mr..
McCracken. This is due to the wide
spread practice of allowing the males
the freedom of the flog after the
Matching season is over.
A temperature of seventy degrees
will start the development of fertile
egg, while fertile egg subjected to
temperature Of one hundred degrees
for twenty four hours will deteriorate
rapidly.
'The rooster is not required for
egg production" continued Mr.. Me-
Cracken. $50 the simple expedient
Of penning up OF disposing of the
male birds as soon as the Matching
season is over, is sure TO result in
an improved quality of the eggs mar
keted, and direct substantial
benefit TO the producers, because
improved quality results in better
prices"
Particular emphasis was placed in
cleanliness. The chicken house and
grounds should be dry and free from
rubbish, and eggs should be gathered
daily, kept in cool place, and mar
keted at least twice a week, he said

BEGINNING A NEW YEAR.

Though we are apt TO think that
New Years has been observed since
the year one. such Is not the case.
In fact, there Is 10 mention OF the
day as q Christian festival until the
fifth century. and even now The He
brews celebrate their New Years In
September. for their calendar IL ar-
ranged according 10 the new moon.
which makes New Years a movable
holiday. Today. however. there Is
scarcely a nation but observes this
season of the year In some mater
or other, though customs differ In
most localities.
