Charles F. Ferguson, chief of the
FL Centre fire department, has
issued Il warning to the people of
FL Centre, urging them to be as con
sentative as possible with the use
of water during the present week
when the supply is limited to the
capacity of the storage tanks, due
to the Irrigation District shutting
off the intake of water, so that
there may be sufficient water to
take care of any fire which might
start during this period. While
there is no need for alarm, accord
ing to the chief, it is just as well
to know that the water supply is
limited and to be as careful as pos
sible in handling matches, oil stoves
and all combustible material.
Another fire hazard which is i'm
minent is the danger from Christ
mas decorations, which cause a mum
Der of deaths each year throughout
the country, according to Chief
Ferguson. Though the practice of
decorating Christmas trees with
candles has given way IN great meas
ure to electrical fixtures, many still
use the candles, and as all Christmas
decorations are highly inflammable,
the risk taken is enormous. Usually
Christmas trees are set up within a
short distance of fireplaces, making
another risk that exposes the safe
ty and lives of families. Chief
Ferguson advises the utmost care in
using Christmas decorations and
urges that candles and all open
flames he eliminated if possible.

BUSINESS I'm GOVERNMENT.

Demand for better business methods in the
federal government became insistent during the
latter years of the Wilson administration. When
Presndent Harding named A. w. Mellon, secre-
tary of the treasury he took long stride toward
the desired goal Secretary Mellon is a splendid
example of the practical business man in charge
of an important branch of the federal govern
rnent He is conducting the business of the
treasury department with the same finesse of
practical financering as though it were the Mel
Ion National Bank of Pittsburgh. which grew
under his guidance from small beginning to
an institution with resources of $150.OOO,OOO
Secretary Mellon has already saved the
nation many millions through application of his
ability to expertly diagnose the money market
at all times, and a consequent steadily-some-
times drastically- rate of interest on
government borrowings A recent issue of gov
eminent securities at 3 3-4 per cent interest is
case in point. Less than two years ago the
treasury was paying 3-4 per cent on short time
gold notes
While the second installment of income
taxes is being paid this month, large payments
are due by the United States, necessiting the
fotation of short time paper. That the money
needed was obtained at reduction of almost so
per cent in the rate of interest that would have
been paid several months ago is a striking illus
tration of the businesslike conduct of affairs by
the present administration.

EARLY MARRIAGES BEST.

Early marriage has been often held up as
one cause of divorce. Now a Chicago Judge
who has heard 6 800 divorce cases in two years
urges early marriage as the best way for young
people to avoid the causes which lead to separa-
tons and wrecked homes.
This only one essential. however. He fur
Their stipulates that the young man must have
job, and it must be the right girl In the girls
interest we assume that the right young man is
also implied Such union does not go wrong.
Yet, it is imperative that there be no mistake in
judgment, as to both being right When mar
ried, they should start fighting for a home. he
stpuates. He would have them do their fight
ing for that object and not to get the better of
each other Certainly that would help in max
ing it happy marriage.
Too many couples" he says, insist on
having bank accounts, furnished homes and au-
tomobiles all ready before they marry and in
waiting for these things they grow selfish. They
want things their own way. When things 60
wrong they rush into the divorce court. They
won't give in and the future of their children
does not concern them"
And the worst of it lies in that so many
appear to regard a marriage failure as rather
spicy episode, as something scarcely to be re-
GREETED since it can be soon mended by another
marriage A marriage failure is not more COM
mendable than any other kind of a failure.

NEED OF AVIATION CONTROL.

Establishment of federal bureau of aero
nautics as a means of regulating flying is pro-
vided for in a bill now before congress- The
bill should be passed in the interest of advance
ment of aviation. The need of federal control of
flying strikingly illustrated in Washington
several days ago, when plane swooped down
over a crowd listening to an address by Presi-
dent Harding. frightening many and making it
impossible for all to hear what the president was
saying. Although this flyer had been requested
not to make the flight, there was no authority
of law to stop him.
Such legislation will inspire in the public
gfireater confidence in the safety of flying than
is now had. and SO will pave the way for the
establishment of aerial transport lines. 1t is
the fear of accidents that makes the public un-
willing at present to patronize passenger-carry-
ing airplanes in sufficient numbers to make the
business profitable. But if the government takes
control. lays down regulations for the prevention
of mishaps, and assumes such supervision over
aerial navigation as it does over water trans
portation, civilian aviation will develop rapidly.
1t is. however. not only to protect people on
the ground that laws are needed for the regula-
ton of flying. It is in the interest of the filters
themselves that such legislation should be
enacted. They and their machines will be safe
guarded by laws calling for federal inspection
of aircraft and examination of pilots. Accidents
will be fewer if no one is permitted to an
airplane unless possessed of a federal license,
which shall be granted only after test of the
prospective pilots qualifications has been
passed, and if no machine is permitted to take
to the air unless its good condition has been
vouched for by government inspector.
