at o'clock with A large attendance.
The regular business of the meeting
was heard and plans for the rest of the
year were discussed. 1t was voted to

A few plants of parsley are suf-
ficient for the garden, and they
should be given about eight to ten
inches in which to develop their
messy foliage. The seed should be
planted thinly and the place marked,
so that it will not be overrun with
weeds before the parsley puts in an
appearance, as 1t often may wait
north before so doing. But once
up. it makes fast growth, the young
plants resembling celery.

$4,000 LOSS At
SENTINEL BLOCK
RESULT OF FIRE

Fire. breaking out in the Water
Vile Sentinel block. % Silver street
about 100 yesterday morning caused
a damage, principally by smoke and
water estimated at $4,000. The loss
is covered by insurance. The fire
was discovered by men working in
the newspaper plant when a sink in
the WashrOom on the second floor
where the blaze started fell from the
burning wall breaking a waterpipe
and letting the water leak down
through. Several Of the men hurried
up the stairs and We're greeted with
binding smoke. The Knights of
Pythias rooms which are on the sec
end floor were locked so they hurried
up to the third floor occupied by the
American Legion. The rooms We're
filled with smoke. The men went
back and telephoned to the fire de-
partment. They responded quickly
and before the second stroke of Box
81 had sounded the chemical truck
was on its way to the scene. Hose
two and the hook and ladder truck
rc sponded Immediately. Several lines
of hose were laid out but for time
the blaze could not be discovered on
account of the thick aCrid smoke. In
about 20 minutes the flames shooting
up between the Mushroom wall were
out and work was directed toward
protecting the material in the build
ing from water. After waiting Tor
some little time to see If the names
would break out again all out was
blown at 2.43.
The first floor of the building Is
occupied by the Watervillc Sentinel
Furnishing Co, and the Casino Bowl
ing alleys owned by Harry Langill.
Tho most of the Sentinels damage is
i, the basement occupied by the press
rooms and job department. Here
some of the paper stock was ruined
The loss was estimated by Calep

The bowling alleys were warped ny

damage was nearly S3,o0o. ne

the entire second floor. Thclr dam

as $1,000. This damage was 10 Tue

Legion quarters suffered prac'icahS
no damage except from smoke.

nett Land CO. and the fire and water
DAMAGE is thought to be about $4,000.
The fire ate through the walls in sew
eral places. On the second floor pas
tering was torn away to get at the
blaze and the water warped tne
floors and raised havoc with The cell
inGs.
Although water was dripping down
into the Sentinel offices the paper was
printed as usual. Crews of men
moved and covered the heavy rolls OF
paper with canvas.
Although it is not known how the
fire started it is thought match or
cigarette in the waste can in the
washroom might have been the cause.
The regular meeting of the Knights
of Pythias vas held that evening.
