Many Cities Prohibit
Following Fire Truck

The practice of following the fire
department in rigs and automobiles
and even crowds on foot is being pro-
hibited in number Of Illinois cities
by special ordinances. Rockford,
Springfield, Peoria, as well as Chi
cago, have passed ordinances against
the old time custom of everybody
chasing the fire department to a fire.
One such ordinance states that:
upon the approach Of any vehicle or
apparatus of the bureau of fire ans
wering an alarm of fire and sounding
bell or siren, the driver of any ve-
hicle other than an ambulance or hos
pital emergency car shall drive as
close to the right curb as possible and
stop, and shall not follow within 600
feet after said vehicle or apparatus.
No vehicle, except by direction of the
fire chief shall approach or park with
in 600 feet of fire at any time"
State Fire Marshall John Gamb-
Ter approves these ordinances, and
says they help regulate traffic and
make the chances 100 per cent better
for the fire department to reach the
fire without delays.-Dixon Telegraph.

The Red Cross Helps

tient gassed overseas. Three years
under Government treatment for
lung trouble. Rehabilitated in Agri-
cultural training. Bought small
farm. Invested all savings. Estab-
lished home for wife and two small
children. Got along fine all summer.
Fall came. Crop Of onions-one acre
dug and ready to gather. From
proceeds intended to buy heating
stove. During summer no stove but
oil cook stove needed. Also had wood
on farm he had planned to saw. Then
unexpectedly called to hospital : for
examination. Extremely worried.
Did not think he could remain for
completion of examinations. Was
afraid if weather turned cold family
would suffer. Also that onions-his
chief crop-unless gathered would be
spoiled. He was a comparative
stranger in his community and knew
his wife would be loath to make her
needs known"

An item has appeared in recent issues of
several Minnesota papers to the effect that con-
tributions to the Near East Relief have been ap
propriated by the Russian Soviet and sent back
to Bolshevize US. C. F. Jackson, regional direc
tor, emphatically denies that statement. He
states that Near East Relief is acting under au
thority of the U. s. Congress and that report of
funds received and money expended is filed year
ly with Congress, copy of which will be mailed
to any person desiring same. Near East Relief
effects the lives of 10000 innocent and blameless
children in the American orphanages, and con-
sentative estimate of 10000 more will seek ad-
mission this winter. The Importance of aiding
this worthy cause is thus readily seen, well as
the extreme hurt that would be done to it through
false and incorrect statements.

The committee representing the
Methodist denomination and commit

joint meeting at the Methodist Epis-
copal church there, Wednesday, to
arrange terms of transfer of Parker
college. The meeting was adjourned
to December %, 1924, at which time
papers will be ready to make legal
transfer of the property. In the eve
ming a meeting was held at which
Rev. L. J. Lewis, of Chicago, was pre-
sent. He is secretary of the Free
Methodist board of education. The
gentleman gave out the information
that should the negotiations now
pending for his denomination to take
over Parker college be successful the
College would open in September,
1925 with an attendance of from 200
to 400 students. Also the denomina-
ton would erect new main building
and make other improvements.

M A. Larson, President of Nebraska Assoc
citation of Real Estate Boards says: "The change
has come over night. In my opinion there will
be more land change in Nebraska during the next
ninety days than there has changed hands dur.
will be anywhere from 10 to 25 per cent higher
before this season is over"
Mr.. Guy Huston, President of the largest
Joint Stock Land Bank in the United States, said
at meeting recently held: at is not likely that
good corn land will ever again be available at
the price at which it can now be purchased. In
a few years from now it will be found that the
foundation of many fortunes will have been laid
by wise investments in the depressed years fol
lowing the war imitation. Dollar corn are magic
words; the price is already beyond that and con-
fidently expect to see prices go higher and be
maintained"

Economist and former President of Michigan
Agricultural College, at meeting Of American
Association of Joint Stock Banks, recently held
in Chicago, stated that farm prosperity is in

pie employed in agriculture today than in 1900
Yet in 1900 agriculture fed only 45,000,OOO city
folks, as compared with 80,O00,O00 today, and
probably 100000 by 1890. ct is clear, there

THE WORLDS WAY

At Haroun's court it CHANGED, upon time,
An Arab poet made this pleasant rhymes
1sThe new moon is a horseshoe, wrought OF God
Wherewith the Sultan's stallion shall be shod.
On hearing this, the Sultan smiled, end gave
The man gold-piece Sing again, slave!
Above his Lutte the happy singer bent,
And turned another gracious compliment
And as before, the smiling Sultan gave
The man sekkah Sing again, o slave!
Again the verse came, fluent as a rill
That wanders, silver-footed, down hill.
The Sultan, listening, nodded as before
Still gave the gold and still demanded more.
Grew weary with it's climbing by and by:
Strange discords rose; the sense went quite amiss
The singers rhymes refused to meet and kiss:
Invention tagged, the lutte had got unstrung,
And twice he sang the song already sung.
The Sultan furious, called mute, and said,
30 Musta, straightway whip me off his head!"
Poets! not in Arabia alone
You get beheaded when your skill is gone
