FIRE LADDIE

When fire bells are ringing
By day or by night
Means fierce fire is raging
A pitiful sight,
For some one you know
May be losing their all
But our brave fire laddies
Respond to the call;
Fairly risking their lives
Our homes to save
And they work with will
These fire ladies brave
We are surely most grateful and
thankful too,
To have two well equipped Fire
Companies
To protect Me and You.

A spout had been put through the

NOT ENOUGH 70 KNOW RULES


= man." said the Schoolmaster
may know all the rules q poetry

rules Of art and never paint pic
ture know all the laws Of harmony,
thorough bass and counterpart and
never write or sing song that touches
mans soul and starts him drifting
on gay dreams or reveries that are
sad.
The reason is that these people
never progress farther than rules.
Knowing rules Is but the beginning.
Perhaps man cannot write with
out having learned certain rules,
though that is debatable, but to write
well, man must have passed 80 far
beyond rules that he does not think Of
them. But pardon me for speaking
at such length on this subject. / was

/ Afire that threatened large pro
portions occurred Thursday at
terneon about $50 O'Clock, wher
q tank of gasoline became ignitei
in the garage in the rear of The
store OF j. w. Duncan Co.. Ltd.
Fortunately the private water
works of the Duncan Co. were
in fine condition and the fire was
confined to the garage, two large
streams of water preventing the
entire consumption Of the build
ing while the burning gasoline
leaped and fought for supremacy.
The greatest damage was
suffered by Mr.. L. L. Roach.
bookkeeper for the firm. His
Ford car was stored in the gar
age at the time of the fire and
before it could be moved from
the building the flames had con-
sumed every inflamable part.
Jimmie w. White, the colored
handy man for the Duncan Co..
was severely burned by spillin0
gasoline on his legs in an at
tempt to remove a burning can
Of gasoline from under the tank.

clothing off in the twinkling of

originated by a negro boy strik-l
