With military honors Harper Eu-
| gene Huckaby, killed in action at Bull
lecourt, when the famous Hindenberg
1 line was broken on Sept 20, 1918, was
laid to rest in his native soil at Rose
4 Hill on Sunday afternoon. "A large
concourse of the friends of the val

4 mains to their final resting place amid
! the scenes of his youth and with the
| people for whom he fought and made
| the supreme sacrifice.
The funeral services were held at
| the First Baptist church, of which
| the youthful hero was a member, at
O'Clock Sunday afternoon and the
church was filled with people drawn
from many sections of the county to
pay last tribute to one who had Of
fered his all upon the altar of his
country and for the preservation of
! Christian civilization.
Special musical program of unusual
beauty and solemnity was rendered
/ and DR.. John H. Barber, pastor of the
church and also chaplain of the Her
bert Griffin Post of the American Lee
! gion, delivered the funeral sermon. 1t
was an eloquent and inspiring tribute
i to the soldiers who have died for
| home and country. DR.. Barber ex-
pressed the hope that these honored
| dead had not died in vain and that the
| principles for which they gave the full
measure of LIES devotion would be ev-
I erlansting.
A military escort in full uniform
| from the Herbert Griffin Post followed
| the body to the final resting place at
Rose Hill, where the casket, wrapped
| in the flag for which Corporal Huck-
ably died, was lowered to rest forev-
i err. The services ended with the
majesty of the pathetic notes of Taps

for the Place.
lFrom Fridays Daily Herald.


Mrs. Ben Mullins has been appoint
ed postmaster at Santa Fe, her com
mission having been received Thurs
day from the post Office department at
Washington. Mrs. Mullins is expected
to qualify at an early date and as.
sumo charge Of the office.
The final appointment of Mrs. Null
Inns ends one of the longest drawn
out and most interesting post office
contests in the history of the county.
The fice has been vacant for many
months being filled in the interim by
Ben Cowley, former tax assessor of
lle county al
Several months ago the postoffice
department ordered an examination to
be held and among others Mrs Null
Inns, Austin Mcknight and Paul AL
len made the requisite grades and
were the highest in the list. Under
the rules of the department the ap-
pOintment must be made from one of
the three. 1t was then a question of
endorsements from the G. O. p. lead
ers and it is understood that Mrs. Null
Inns received the approval of Col. John
w. Overall, the national committee
man from Tennessee, and her appoint
ment followed as matter of course.
Mrs. Mullins is the wife of Ben Null
Inns, a prominent young merchant at
Santa Fee and she will be the third
generation to serve in post office.
Her grandfather, the late Boss Fra
ser, vast postmaster many years ago,
and her mother, Mrs. Emma Dodson,
was her fathers assistant. She is well
educated and accomplished and thor
oughly qualified for the place. She
has been overwhelmed with congratu-
lations since her appointment was an
nounced.
The Santa Fe postofiice is a fourth
elias Office and the appointment is made
by the postoffice department and not
by the President and does not have
to be confirmed by the senate.

Careless Smokers
 Cause Many Fires

Smokers and users of matches caused destruction by fire of over S91 ,800,OO0 worth of property in the United States during the last five years, 1915-19, inclusive, ac- cording to Fire Chief Kitchener, who today started a special cam paign against the careless tobacco smokers of this city.
 we are not criticising the habit of smoking" said Chief Kitchener today, "but we do censure the care less persons who thoughtlessly cast lighted matches, cigar and cigarette stubs into waste baskets, rubbish piles or other places where com bustible material is present.
 Considering that the American public consumes over 7,271 100000 cigars, more than 42,456, 100000 cigarettes yearly, and 7O0,000,000 matches daily, It is not surprising that we have so many fires from this hazard The mileage of the cigarettes used in the course of a year would stretch a distance al- most five times the length of Amer ca's steam railways. This large con sumption does not excuse the loss, however, but makes it evident that stringent precautions are necessary.
 "Unfortunately," continued the chief, ''there is considerable loss of life by burning because of reck- less employees in factories and other places of business who snatch a smoke when the foreman is not looking. If discovery is threatened the smoker is likely to get rid of his cigarette, cigar or pipe as rapid ly as possible, with little thought as to where it may land.
 There have been numerous cases
The courier-index., 1921-06-03

where fires have started in this way. In one New York shirt waist factory an operative threw a lighted cigarette stub into cotton scraps on the floor and, as a re- suit, of his thoughtlessness, 145 girls lost their lives in the fire and panic that followed.
 Ut is an obvious truth that the American public is constitutionally careless and prone to take a chance. That is the reason why we have such heavy fire losses as compared with European countries.
 ''The proper time to fight a fire is before it occurs, and l am ask ing employees of the city to enforce their No Smoking rules and to be more careful themselves. Fire is a community proposition and not a personal one, although there are not many people who realize this fact.
 "The way to reduce the number of fires due to the use of matches and smoking materials is to make sure that neither lighted matches nor tobacco embers are ever dis posed of in unsafe places. Break your match sticks in half after us- ing them, and stamp upon your cigar or cigarette stub, if you are outdoors. Indoors, use a glass, met al or china ash receiver.
 "These precautions are as simple as two and two but if they had been practiced generally during the five years mentioned a large part of the $91 ,800,000 fire loss from understanding would have been saved to the Nation"
