GREAT FIRE AVERTED.

UhEAT FIRE ANEHTED.
On the morning Of October 20, at
about 80 o'clock, a great fire, one
which would perhaps have been the
most disastrous in the history of
Maurertown, was narrowly averted
thru mere fate Of circumstances.
Mr.. William Boyer. who was among
a party OF FIVE other men Of this town,
was waiting patiently for the arrival
Of Mr.. Albert Borden, who was to take
them to Frederick City, Md, to at.
tend the fair there, was the first to
notice a light in one corner Of Jervis
Stark's department store. Mr.. Boyer
at first thot some of the management
Of the store was engaged there in
some business, but out Of suspicion
was led to investigate more fully. He
then was amazed to see great flames
rolling high to the ceiling. Imme'
diately he notified the neighbors as
well as the members directly interested
in the store. At this juncture Mr..
Albert E. Shaver arrived on the scene.
As Mr.. Boyer was busy giving the
alarms. no one was present near the
place of conflagration. at the advent
Of Mr.. Shaver. Within one moments
appearance. What shall we do !"
What shall We do" some shouted.
How shall we get in?" Break the
door down, break the door down !"
yelled Shaver. Scarcely had he ut.
tered these words when his body
crashed heavily against the wooden
structure. The heat was scorchingly
intense as fighting the FIRE at close
range was made necessary by great
quantities of merchandise which was
stored nearby. Fearlessly taking his
life in his own hands Mr.. Shaver
procured large burlap sack and al
once began fighting in earnest. Tanks
of oils and gases were within two
feet of the raging flames. 1t was
indeed a critical situation. and fast
thinking, as well as acting. was quite
necessary to prevent an awful explo
sion from the gases and oil tanks
which were Immediately to Mr.
| Shayer's back.
Notwithstanding the fact that nc
water had arrived up to this time II
was gratifying to believe that the
crisis had passed, aItho by no means
was the fire extinguished. Mr.. D. e
Stark was the first to arrive with
water This was like a gift from
1 Heaven, and with the arrival Of more
and more of the precious fluid. and
/ the incoming Of many neighbors OF
| the town. the terribleness and dan
! gerousness had disappeared.
/ Had it not been possible to save
the store from burning, it seems very
evident that the whole block of build,
ings would have suffered q similar
fate.
The frc was Of unknown origin.

The better sires campaign recently
passed the 5000 mark. This means
that more than 5000 persons have
agreed in writing to breed all live

United States Department Of Agricul-

campaign begun only IA months ago
to exterminate scrubs especially

Spread Manure In Winter.
Winter is a good time to spread
rough manure over the garden. This
serves double purpose, in that It
adds fertility to the soil and also pro-
tects the soil from washing and blow.
ing. Heavy clay soils should be broken
up and left rough and lumpy before
applying the manure. The kind Of
manure to use for this purpose is not
important, so long as. it is not filled
with weed seeds or trash Of any kind.
Manure in which straw has been used
for bedding can be taken direct from
the stable and spread on the garden
as surface cover during the winter,
the rough part being either plowed un-
der in the spring or raked of and put
IN the compost heap. The finer part
remaining on the ground can be
worked into the top soil in preparing
the seed bed next spring.
@s-f Compost Heap Helpful. II
Compost made BY piling up sods,
manure, and any material having fer
tilizlng value will be needed in prepar-
ing special soil for seed beds and for
starting plants next spring. Now is
the time to make a compost heap. The
best method is. to obtain load of
manure, prepare a level space a BY
feet, spread 2 or 3 inches Of the
manure over this space, follow with a
layer Of sod which has been chopped
into pieces with sharp spade, then
additional layers Of manure and sod
until all Of the manure has been used.
AS "a rule, the natural rainfall dur
ing the winter will be sufficient to
keep the pile properly moistened, and
as spring approaches q roof Of boards,
or other covering. should be placed
over the pile SO It will not be too wet
for use when needed. When the. time
comest to use ii, the compost should be
cut from one end Of the pile with a
sharp spade. then thoroughly worked
over and screened before It 10 placed
