HOLD-UP LAST
THURSDAY EVE,
ON SOUTH SIDE

Two men held-up the South Side
Pavilion, Louie Marian's dance hall
and soft drink parlor, last Thursday
evening about 8:15 and took be-
tween thirty and forty dollars which
was laying on a table while a game
was going on. The men disappear
ed after the hold-up and to date,
no trace of them has been found.
The place is run by Greeks, thus
1t has been all but impossible to
get any information on the hold up.
The Greeks say that a tall and a
short man entered the place, drew
guns and forced them to give up
the money. One Of the bandits shot
at one OF the Greeks, the bullet strik-
ing the brim of his hat and knock
ing the hat from his head. Other
than this information, the Greeks
are dumb to questions.

DON'T" FOR PRE-
VENTING FOREST FIRES

The following "Don'ts'' are being
advocated by the Forest Service:
Don't leave a camp fire unmatched.
Don't build a camp fire rear un-
%der-brush or in the midst Of dry

pipe. cigar. or cigarette without
stepping on them and grinding them
into the earth.
Don't throw infiammable articles
from you automobile.
Don't fail to use your W common
sense to help preserve your own for
ests.
Don't fail to keep an eye out for
the person who endangers your for
ests and your lives by doing things
which are liable to cause fires.
Don't fail to report all such per-
sons to- the forest officers just as
you would any criminal.

SUNDAY
EVE. CAUSED
NO DAMAGE

What might have turned into a
dangerous fire was checked about
ten o'clock Sunday evening when
the fire department put out two piles
of burning railroad ties near the
Continental Oil Co. warehouse. Be-
cause of the high wind that was
blowing, a few sparks could have
started a big fire in the warehouse
where a considerable amount of oil
and gasoline was stored.
The ties were presumably lighted
by railroad section men, as is their
practice when they wish to- get rid
of cid material. This is a dangerous
practice in the railroad yards in the
city and especially SO when the men
are not careful Of the location.

FULLER'S EARTH IN 1928

me largest output ON record of
fuller's earth is reported by the De-
partment of the Interior, through the
Geological Survey working in CO.
operation with the State Surveys in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and HI
inois, Is operators in 6 states report
ed that 149,134 short tons of full
er's earth were sold in 1928, valued
at $2,247,523, or s15.O7 a ton. This
output is Z per cent greater than
that of 1929, but it is nearly four
times the output Of 1913. The value
of the output for 1923 was the third
largest that has ever been recorded,
and was exceeded by that of 1920
and 1922. 1t was six times as large
as that Of 1913. Since 1920 there
has been a steady decline in the
average price per ton, the price in
1928 being nearly $3.50 lower than
that of 1920. u
The South continues to produce
the greater part of the output. Flor.
ida was the leading state in output
and value, as it has been from the
beginning of the industry. Georgia
was second and Texas was third in
output and value. These three states
reported about 92 per cent of the
output and value in 1923. The pro-
ducing states in the order of their
output were Florida, Georgia, Texas
Illinois, Massachusetts, and Alabama.
Imports of fuller's earth, which at
one time constituted the entire sup
ply, reached their maximum quantity
in 1914; since then they have on
the whole declined and reached their
lowest quantity in more than 25
years, S,547 tons. The value in
1928 was $113,944, or 1898 a ton
The value Of imported fuller's earth
in 1923 was the lowest since 1909
