PALMER HAS
 GIVEN UP JOB

Today is the day that Assistant department quits his office, by re- quest of the selectmen, who gave him notice some time ago.
 Although there are two pieces of motor apparatus in the central fire house. it having been the custom for the chief to drive one and Palmer, 1he other, no successor has apparently been chosen. At least no one in the fire house has heard of anyone com- ing to fill Palmer's place. The job looks like a pretty good one in these times, but there are draw backs to it like every other good job. A married man must live within a few doors of the fire house, for he is ex- pected to be on duty A hours of the day, at least within immediate call. A single man would have to make up his mind to while away all his life within a few feet of the fire truck and would have to either do his own cooking or patron:ze the lunch room across the street.
 There is also a feeling that the town may try to get along without an assistant to the chief for the time be- ing because of the scarcity of funds, and this may also affect the police where it was expected to put on two extra men for the sum- mer.

CAT SAVES HIM S2,5OO.

Warren, Pa, May IA house cat has saved s2,50o for L. w Archibald, superintendent of the Warren Black Fox Ranch. by adopting five orphaned foxes.
 Last Sunday a fox on the ranch gave birth to five cubs but soon after ward died The cubs, worth $500 each. seemed doomed There was no other mother fox that might be pre- vailed upon to adopt the orphans.
 But the Archibald cat had just be- come mother and this gave the su- perintendent an idea. He removed the kittens from their mother and put tho little foxes at her breast. The caL eyed the newcomers with suspf- clan for a few minutes. but without hostile demonstration and finally took the orphans as her own
 As soon as it was evident that the experiment was a success MT. Archi bald put the kittens out of the way.

A HEALTH TALK.

Happiness is obtainable by all. Many there are who, infirm and decrepid, believe nothing but gloom awaits them in the future.
 Pain and despair have a trick of making one feel blue. This feeling often exists on Monday, but it is not necessary. Clearance of the bodily pores, resuscitated circulation, will do the trick.
 Those who believe that the home bath is efffcacious may not feel the full extent of that happiness. Real circulation only comes from expert treatment of the skin and muscles. by process of rubbing and clearing the pores of all effeSe matter. The Ro- mans knew how to do this. Modern bath rubbers have copied that meth cd. If you feel pains or lassitude, or are too fat, consult an expert at the Atlas Baths. Advice is free.

STATUTORY OFFENSES

Oscar Olson and George Puprea
were arrested Tuesday upon complaint
OF girl who charged them with the
commission of a serious oifense,'
Upon investigation it developed that
the otiense that could be proved was
not as serious" as at first appeared
and the charges were reduced They
were still serious" enough to induce
the court to impose a fine of 500 on
Olson and $50 on Duprea,
The reader will have to be content
with this rather indefinite statement
with the addition culled from a CON
temporary to the effect that the of
fcnscs were statutory" As all of
fenscs are statutory this does not add
much Enlightenment. The average city
editor is so modest that he hides ugly
crimes under the verbal fig leaf statu-
tory and sometimes leaves a very bad
inference from a comparatively mild
offenSe.
Olson and Duprea are sailors, but
Olson is local boy who has served
time both at Green Bay and Waupun
for statutory ohenses.

been favorable for farm work which
made rapid progress. Peas are prac-
ticaIly all planted and the planting Of
corn and potatoes is under way. Tenn

has been checked. There were general
frosts on the 10Th and 10th, with frccz-
ing temperatures over the northern half
Of the state Fruits, berries, alfalfa and
truck were damaged, but the extent as
yet is uncertain, probably it was con
siderable. From reports received Ia

SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

The committee appointed some
months ago by Ralph Plumb chairman
of a mass meeting called for the pur-
pose of discussing a soldiers memorial
filed a report with Mr., Plumb last
week The report, in brief, warns
against haste in memorial matters and
recommends a memorial in the form Of
community building.
The committee has evidently been
gathering a mass of material on mem
orial activities and hopes to profit by
the experience of other communities
1t does not think that the purchase
of the Orpheum for the American Leg
ion use should initiate against decid-
ing for a community building.
The committee said that it had not
gone into the question of financing the
project. The matters Of making it a
county or purely local matter was brief
ly touched ON without recommendation.

NUMBER
FIREWORKS

The Chinaman on New Years day,
the Southerner at Christmas time, and
the American boy on July 4th, dis
charge fireworks purely for excitement,
not because Of Confucianism, Christ
ianity or patriotism.
In years past this practice has caused
many injuries, deaths, and much prop
erty loss.
Sane celebrations Of later years have
saved these sacrifices of life, limb, and
property, and amusements and patri-
otto exercises have taken the place of
noise and carnage
The state law and regulations gov
crning fireworks have not been changed
for three years and are as follows.
Section t397a prohibits the sale and
possession of toy pistols, toy revolvers
.or other toy firearms, under penalty
prescribed.
Section t39sf prohibits the sale, pos
session and bringing into the state Of
fireworks containing picric acid, pic
rates. chlorate of potash compound dy-
Mantle, mixture of dynamite or other
high explosive mixtures, explosive
canes, using blank cartridges or ex-
.plosiye paper caps, blank cartridge pis-
tolls, or any frccrackers more than
three inches in length and one-half inch
in diameter.
Order 6O95 of the General Orders on
Fire Prevention reads as follows:
"No fire crackers, rockets, torpedoes,
Roman candles, bombs or other fire
