Fire AT washington
Does Slight Damage

washington Times-A fire that
might have wiped out the whole block
started in the a end of the Hubert
store building about IL o'clock Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Marshall, the bak-
er, was thawing out a water pipe
under the floor just back of the bakery
and the flames caught between the
walls and within 2 very few minutes
had gained considerable Roadway.
The chemical engine was brought inn
mediately, but it was hard to get at
the fire and it continued to gain head
way until it was breaking out through
the outside walls of the building. BY
this time the hose had been connected
and within a very short time after the
water was turned on the fire was out.
The water pressure was good and the
service rendered by the volunteer fire.
men was prompt and efficient. Had
the flames gotten beyond control it is
probable hat the whole row of frame
structures between Burg's Store and
the Post Office would have been des-
troyed, although the southwest wind
might have prevented the spread of
to the south.
The damage was fully covered by
insurance.

LITTLE GIRL DIES
RESULT OF BURNS
Eight Year Old Anna Losing, Of Spring
Lake, Dies When Clothing Catch
es Fire From Hot Stove

A terrible tragedy occurred last
Saturday evening, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Losing of Spring Lake
Twp, when their little eight year old
daughter, Anna. died from burns re-
ceived when her clothing caught fire.
The little girl was alone in the house
at the time Of the accident, both par
ents being but Of doors. According to
her story, which she was able to tell
clearly, the heating stove had become
red-hot. Being too small to reach the
damper, she had taken a chair, stand
ing on il in an effort to check the
stove. In so doing her clothing came
in contact with the red-hot stove, and
was Immediately ignited. The child,
terror stricken, raj out into the yard,
where her parents were, but before the
flaming clothing could be torn from
her, she was terribly burned about the
body and legs, and died three, hours
later. The child remained conscious
up until her death.
The roads were I'm such bad condi-
ton following the recent snow. that a
physician, who was summoned could
not reach the place. The child was so
burned, however, that nothing could
have been done, except relieving her
suffering. i
Funeral services were held at the
Spring Lake Church Tuesday, and
burial made in the community GEM
etery. The parents and two other
children are left to mourn the tragic
and untimely death of the little girl.

No one can doubt that had the voice
of the Pontiff been needed the world
to-day would be UNNECESSARILY better

portals of the schools and has poison
ed the very sources Of civil and indus
trial life. might is right" 1.-THE sur
vival of the f%ttest," 1.-THE battle to
the strong"-these are principles Of
action in the industrial world. The
general public has grown d~istrustful
and suspicious, and the consequent
note of pessimism has wrought meal
culabie harm to the business prosper
ity of the world. Misguided men, Of
tentimes ignorant of the true issues
involved, have lent themselves to the
propaganda of radicalism. Not only
are present systems Of government
the object of increasing attack but
even the more fundamental ideals, the
ideals of the family, of religion, and
of authority itself.
We believe that labor and capital
can get together. Labor needs capital,
capital needs labor. In the recent
hour II national distress, labor and
capital worked together for the sue
cessful prosecution of the war. There
were mistakes and treachery and
greed here and there, but they were
exceptional. This shows that they
can work together i'm peace and har-

apart, when large sections OF Europe
have been devastated, when famine
and plague are raging, IL we, the lead
ers in world production, should lose
this blessed opportunity of rendering
service to stricken humanity, friend
and foe alike; il we who were so
ready to furnish weapons of destruc-
ton should fail so lamentably in the
work of reconstruction.
The fundamental mistake in the at
tempts at solution is a mistake in the
point of view. Statesmen and legfsla-

RELIGION IN INDUSTRY

To establish peace in the world
Christ came among men. The pagan
nations, ignorant of God and His laws,
had attempted, with but small meas
ure of success, the reconciliation of
human and divine rights and duties.
They knew no law but the law OF
force. Brutal tyranny stalked abroad.
Gods there were, but none with power
to help the weak. There was a God
Of War and n God Of wealth, a God
of Beauty and n God Of Pleasure.
There was no God of poverty, Of hui
,mility, of pain. Envy, Jealousy, hat
red OF for man, of tribe for tribe, OF
nation for nation naturally followed
the rule of might. There was no place
for Justice and Charity. These email
ate from God-and when He Is ban
ished from society peace and good
Him. Modern %paganism, too, has its
gods. Peace is not among them.
The heart of the world Is tired OF
strife, PeHcs-Peace is on every lip,
the echo of every heart. But there is
no peace, and there will be no peace
until the cause of strife is removed.
II would be false optimism to say, All
is we'll" when we know that with the
rapid growth of wealth the ~selfishness
of men has kept pace; that the gap
between rich and poor ID constantly
widening; that the very basis OF go
ciety is being disrupted; that irreli-
gion and infdelity are blasting away
the very foundations OF faith. Not
with a wall of pessimism do we raise
cur voice but with affectionate warm
ing. Modern paganism has done its
work, but the God of u fathers is
with us still. He will ave Us. We
have but to put into practice the JUS
tice and charity of Christ. When
Christian ideals rule the world, then,
and not till then, we shall have peace.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, il thou didst
but know the things which are for
thy peace!"
Deep-Seated Discomfort

content and f~ar-reaching resentment
