In sad. but loving remembrance oil
my dear husband, CARROLL Af.ExAN.
DER KEY, who departed this life one
year age, Dec. 10 1920.
We little thought when leaving home,
That he would never retarn:
That be so soon in death would sleep,
And leave rs here to mourn.
We stood beside his grave
As long as we could stay;
II was too hard for us to stand
And see him laid away.
Deeply missed by his wife, Mrs,
Helen NJ. Bell Key; mother-in-law,
Rosetta +. Bell, and father-in-law,
Henson J. Bell, Rock Point, Nd
In sad, but loving remembrance Of
ny dear husband, WILLIAM WARREN,
who departed this life one year ago,
Dec. 10, 1920.
In graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the gentle hreezes blow,
Lies the one We love so dearly,
Who died one year ago.
When the evening sun is setting,
OF him | often think,
Of that one cup of sorrow,
Which is so hard to drink.
oh, how he did suffer,
No mortal tongue can tell,
Till God, in His mercy,
Took him home in heaven to dwell.
Nobody knows my longing,
But few have seen me weep,
| shed my tears from an aching heart
While others are aleep.
We miss you, dear father,
Our sorro.s, no one can tell,
But we hope some day TO meet you,
Where we'll never say farewell.
Devoted wife and children.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS
 ADVISE CARE FOR
 LOCAL MIGRANTS

The Board of Fire Commissioners have issued the following notice:
 As the season of the year for re- pairs and construction is about fin- ished would advise that our danger out and examine the hydrant after the near future that any person opens a fire hydrant, if he will immediately call Barnum 2100 and ask for the Rydrant Inspector, he will gladly go out andexanline the hydrant after the same has been used to see that there Es no possible chance of its freezing. If a hyGrant should freeze. it would mean a delay in connecting with another hydTant to put a S rea.n of water on a fire. So it is most essential that we be notified when any person opens a hydrant. as we must take all precautions against freezing of fire iaydrants.
 Attention is called to the follow ing amendments of Chapter XVIII. Ordinances of the City of Bridgeport:
 Sec. 155 4a). Any person who shall open a fire hydrant without first procuring @ license, except a mem Der o1 the fire department or a person acting under the direction of such member. shall be fined not more than wenty-f1ve dollars (Sz5) for each of- fense.
 Sec. 155 Gel. Any person Or per sons so licensed who use any hy- 1raat oths- than those designated by l7c Board of FireCoalnissioners or any person who usee any hydrant or lyO-ant without procuring a license herefor shall be fined not more than twenty-five dollars (s25) for each of fense"

THE INDEMNITY.

THE matter of fixing the German
indemnity is n that touches intim-
Iately these United States because it
will effect our trade with other coun-
tries as well as the ex-kaiser's domain.
The rehabilitation of Germany seems
necessary if that country is to meet
any of the allied demands. This will
be easier and we believe the allies will
be more l%enient, if Germany can show
its good faith in a promise to discon-
tinue it's military views as regards
the future.
France and others of the allied ma
tons overseas cannot become finan-
cially sound soon unless they r to
have the benefit of these indemnity
oayments. That is an accepted fact.
The business policy of this nation de-
ponds much upon the character of the
credit we can extend Europe and this
credit is based upon Europe's ability
to pay. Hence our business condi-
tions, as you see, touch closely the
results of the indemnity arrangements
with the defeated nation.
Financial experts state that the re-
cent decline in prices in the United
States accompanied by tight credit
has forced a sympathetic decline in
France. These United States cannot
be considered uninterested in interna-
tional affairs and we believe a salts
factory arrangement with Germany
for the payment of its indemnity
would see a general improvement in
world business conditions.
We do not suggest a compromise
with Germany. That nation does not
deserve anything of that kind but we
do believe for the good Of all a salts
factory arrangement should be reached
at once. The allies know what Ger
many can pay-they do not have to
pay any heed to the huns pecksniffian
cry of bankruptcy if forced to settle
on a certain basis. Germany must
pay, and pay what the allies think
right.
