Some of the Responsibility of Reducing the
Hazard-Forest Service Issues Sound ADJ
vice

Never build a fire against log or
tree. or on leaves, moss, duff, or 9TH
er infiammable surface litter.
Never build large fire. Small
ones are better for both cooking and
warmth.
Never build a fire of any sort
when the woods are unusually dry,
or when the wind is strong.
Never leave fire unmatched, no
matter how safe it seems. Sudden
gusts are always possible and have
often made apparently safe fires de-
structive.
Never leave a fire until it is COM
PLETELY OUT. Quench it with
water IL possible; If not. bury it with
mineral soil. Never scatter the en-
bcrs or cover them with ashes or
with soil containing vegetable mate
rial
Never pass an INTENDED fire. no
matter how small, without putting
1t out. If it is too large to handle
yourself,~get help.
DO not forget that fire is always
dangerous.
Teach others carefuness. Be
careful yourself.
Remember that forest fires can
never he prove nted or controlled by
laws alone. Still more necessary are
an interested public opinion and an
Individual recognition of responsible
ity.
All big fires come from small be-
ginnincs. Don't start something YOU
can't stop.

McCANDLess IS AN EASY WINNER
Elected to COurI Of Appeals From
Third District by About g..
600.

The close race that some
thought might be staged in the
Third Appellate district failed to
materislize, as Judge David A.
McCandless, of MunfordvilIe,
was elected by about 5000 over
Lilburn Phelps, of jamestown,
his Republican opponent.
Mr.. Phelpa conceded the cleo
ton of Judge McCandless on the
early returns when a Democrat
ic landslide was seen. While
the Democrats had been conf
dent of winning, the size of
Judge MbCandless' majority was
a pleasant surprise.
Judge McCandless carried his
home county Of Hart by 662,
though the county is normally
Republican.

VOTE.

Kentucky maintained her u.s.
ual congressional representation
in the election Tuesday. The re-
suits by districts were substant-
tally as follows, according to un.
official reports:
Barkley and Kinchloe, demo-
Gratis, won easily, as expected in
the first and second districts; in
the third district where the Re-
publicans were making great
claims, Bob Thomas, democrat,
was victor by a large majority.
The fourth reelected Ben John,
son, democrat; in Louisville the
fifth district, M. II. Thathsr, re-
publican, won over Kendriek
Lewis, democrat; by 3,700 ma.
jority; Arthur Rouse. democrat,
won easily for reelection in the
9th and Campbell Cantrill, dem
ocrat, had no opposition in the
seventh. ~ ~ sE
The old 9Th district acquitted
itself well in re. electing Ralph
Gilbert, democrat, by a majority
that may reach 5000, perhaps
the largest given in this district
in many years.
VIM. Fields, democrat, won
easily in the ninth, and republi.
cans claim John Langley, has
defeated Tom Hatcher, demo
crat, in the 10th, but indications
are this race is closer than ex-
pected. In the eleventh j. M.

Clarence Sipple, democrat, by a
reduced majority. Sipple made
a spectacular campaign but had
no chance to win in the rock-rib-

Buying, Absorbing Surplus.

CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-wheat mar
ket was weaker and lower early on
scattered selling. but the break
brought in an excellent class of
commission house buying, headed by
some that were recently good Sell
lers. This absorbed the surplus in
the pit land later when houses with
Northwestern connections started
to buy there was a sharp bulge, May
advancing around 2 cents from the
inside figures, and the greater part
of the upturn- was maintained at
noon. Minneapolis cash wheat was
in good demand, with premiums un-
changed to cents lower. Scarcity
of choice grain in the open market
is commencing to make itself felt
in that market. Country offerings
are not large and the trade Is look

were light. On the decline a cash
house was a free buyer of May.
Seaboard demand somewhat less
