Commandments Which He Hes
Found Useful.

Eleven commandments in reverse
English" have been found useful by
William Q. Setlifre, state adiutant Of
the American Legion n Illinois, in
building up the Legion's program for
that state. They are as follows:
l. Don't attend meetings If 1t rains.
You might get your feet wet, and you
are not IN the physical condition you
We're at the environments. or at Brest.
,. Don't think Of going If 1t Is a
warm, moonlight night There are lots
of other things you could do that sort
of night FIR lnstance-Oh, roll
youg own idea.
3. II YOU should attend a meeting.
find fault with everything that's go
ing on. If your officers are showing
pep, demand 10 know in open meeting
what political offices they intend run
ming for
i. Never accept nn Office in the post.
Most offices have duties connected
with them and it is much easier TO
criticize the way the other fellow is
trying TO handle the Job.
s. Get sore ut the organization II you
are not appointed on a committee.
g. If you are appointed, don't both
or about attending the committee
meetings. They often are a bore.
Z. During discussion of motion

some one why they should have voted
It down.
s Forget 20 pay your dues The
post can get along awhile longer with
out your contribution.
9. Don't try to get new members.
George viii do 1t.
104 Don't do any work on post af-
fairs, or any more than is absolutely
necessary. When other members roll
mp their sleeves and give unselfshly
of their time and ability 10 help things
along, get w on your hind legs aud
howl that the post is being run by a
clique
H. Remember, you owe no duty or
obligation 20 a sick or disabled buddy
Your own personal comfort comes
first.

GROCERY AND MARKET
BRADY AND PENN|N GTON
DESTROYED BY FIRE IN
EARLY MORNING HOURS

Fire Of unknown origin completely
burned out the rear Of the store of
Brady and Pennington's grocery and
meat market ut IA East Main street
and resulted in much other damage
ing. The alarm was turned in at about
midnight and although the firemen
had the blaze under control soon after
they reached che scene, nevertheless
they were forced 10 remain at the
smothering ruins until a. III. lost
the scorched timbers re-ignite. The
entire apparatus OF the fire depart
ment answered the alarm and four
lines of hose were laid.
1t is believed that the fire started
in the rear of the store room where
the fish and meat department is To-
Gated. However, although the roof
at this point was completely burned
out, and other woodwork destroyed,
nevertheless the refrigerator was
scorehed on the outside only, and tine
products in it were not damaged. The
greatest damage seems TO have been
done to the building, which was owned
by ]. r. Pennington. 1t is covered by
insurance.
Very little Of the goods IN the store
were burned but a great theal of the
canned and other goods We're spoiled
by the intensive heat. When the fire
men entered the place they said It
was like red hot oven, and the can
ned goods was popping all over the
place.
The entire interior Of the storeroom
is wrecked and the plafe glass win
dows Of the front are broken.
Just what the amount OF the loss
is which Is believed TO be covered by
INSURANCE., has not yet been ascertain
cd.
During the fire abou: rs automobiles
stored in Moss Pdterson's garage
which Is located next door, were driven
from the building into the street for
safety. However, owing 40 the fact
that THE Patterson building and the
Pennington building each have a thick
fire wall side by side, the garage was
not damaged in the least by Ahe
flames
