this department this year up to Nov.
amounted to $2,50715.
Instead of four mechanics being
employed at the county's garage
during the winter, the force will be
cut to two, the board deeming that
number sufficient.
The desire to bring about economy
prompted the board members to cut
their own salaries. They voted to
cut the per diem from IS to S4.
The county superintendent of
schools and the supervising teacher
will be paid cents per mile when
using their automobiles in an official
capacity. Heretofore, they have
used cars supplied by the county.
A resolution was adopted instruct
ing the district attorney to enforce
the law against the placing of ad-
vertising signs along the highways
and to cause their removal. In
addition to the advertising signs
nuisance it was charged in the re-
solution that loading platforms, fill
ing stations, gasoline pumps, etc,
were becoming a dangerous menace
along highways in the county.
VIM. Weber, veteran highway man,
will continue to serve as county high
way commissioner, the board re-
appointing him to the position.

on Nov "a.
During the past year the county
maid off the last of its bonded in
febtedness. hence it was not neces-
sarv to make an appropriation to
cover this item. Last year SlO,-
5o0 was included for this item in the
general appropriations. Economic
measures adopted by the board, to-
Oetber with the saving on bonded
indebtedness, accounts for the
reduction in appropriations for the
general fund of $10,761. The
balance of the saving is accounted
for in the appropriation for high
WAYS. a total of $15,034. However,
it Is expected that the county's share
of the gasoline tax and other road
moneys will more than equal this
figure. For highways $55,500 was
appropriated last year, while this
year the appropriation is $4,000.
No More County Nurse
A decision to abolish the office of
county nurse, rescind the ordinance
providing for bounty on woodchucks
and rats, reduce the highway traffic
police force and made no attempt at
keeping the highways free of snow
this winter, were some of the
economy measures carried out by the
board, all of which will result in con-
siderable saving to the county. The
board members also cut their own
salaries
Following short discussion in the
matter of doing away with the office
Of county nurse, ballot was taken
on a motion to that effect, resulting
in it being carried Is to 4. The
present county nurse, Mrs. George
Gerry, will fill out her term, after
which Iron county will join num-
Der Of other counties in the state
which have abolished the office.
Bounty on woodchucks and rats
has been paid in this county for the
last few years, but hereafter there
viii be no price on the heads of these
animals The bounty fund was
oyerdrawn this year, hence it was
necessary to appropriate $3.50 to
cover the deficit.
Considerable effort and money
were spent last year in an attempt
to keep certain of the highways in
the county free of snow. About
$4,000 was expended in the effort.
The board members evidently feel
that 1t is useless effort and an
expensive one, for they voted to do

activities. An appropri ation of

Care Necessary
to Prevent Fires
With the Advent of Winter Fire
Hazards Increase; Industrial
Commission Cautions.

With early winter and cold weather
upon US and stoves, furnaces and
boilers going, extra care is necessary
to prevent fires, and so protect pro-
perty and human life.
Wisconsin's fire loss for 1924 "a
reported to the state fire marshal
was $l0,431,550. OF this great
waste, a loss of $2,400.701 was due
to heating plant defects and mis-.

Defective chimneys, unclean Chin
neys burning out, sparks from chin

stoves, furnaces, boilers and fire
places, stoves, furnaces and smoke

and smoke pipes and placing ashes in

nor the remedies necessary TO correct
them. The careful man, who wants
to protect the lives of those dear To

discover such fire causes and can
readily correct them. Newspaper
items such as "home in ashes
overcome by smoke" burned while
they slept, escaped in their night
clothes, or escape cut off" all point
to some careless man, some guilty
conscience. Such fires can be pre-
vented. Answer NOW conscientious
ly the following questions, or the
coroner will answer them for you

Questions
Is the chimney free from cracks,
loose brick and other defects, and ia
it clean?
Is any woodwork in direct contact
with the chimney?
Are boilers or furnaces set on
brick or concrete base?
Is the floor under stoves protected
by stove board?
Are ceilings, partitions and walls

or boiler protected with metal over
asbestos?
Is the ceiling within distance of
one and one-half times the diameter.
and the wall or partition within a
distance Of the diameter of the
smoke pipe SO protected?
Is there ventilated. double

smokepipes in partitions?
Is there smokepipe running

Is the smokepipe sound. wen

Does the wall paper come up

Are any flue holes stuffed up with

Is your shingle roof moss covered

Is the stove, boiler or furnace

Do you store ashes in wooden

Is your boiler room clean, and

 The first game between the Apaches and r. G; F. Corbin's was full of exciting moments, neither team leading by more than three baskets at any stage of the game. "Goody" Pricsser started the fire works with a pretty field goal and added a foul making it 8 10 0 for the Apaches before Holts dropped one in, quickly followed by Jasper putting r. & r. in the lead. From then on it sawed back and forth and the half ended, Is to IS, for the Apaches.
 The second half found the same fast pace continued. Williams was tlring so Dave Ellison went in in his place. Dave soon made his presence felt by dropping in three field goals.
 Jasper ran wild once during the game and dropped in four straight before he was halted. This put r. 6, F. in the lead but field goals by Ellison, Loomls and Rehm brought the Apaches to the fore again, and the game ended SG to 33, Apaches. The lineup:

 New York, Feb. 16.--Paavo Nur- mi, flashing fire at the ranks of American athletes, is the victim Of snipers. .-
 Shots come from unexpected guar. ters as he blazes away, using track records as targets, and Willie Ritola of the Finnish American A. C., nurs- ing wound suffered on the opening day of the international running strife, carries the most powerful gun in the guerilla's possession. For, after all. 1t is guerilla warfare, running fight that is being waged by the de- lenders, whose tactics have changed. leaving the invader to fight an ene- my of mediocre power while the sharpshooters peck away at his performances.
 Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. a minute mdN" came out {, of Massachusetts to joM the little band which is warning valiantly to protect American traditions. Lloyd Hahn of the Boston Athletic Asso- ciation aimed a shot from ambush that prevented a rout, for while Nurmi bore through the records for two miles and ohe and three- quarters. he saw one of his proudest ', possessions snatched from under his feet
 Hahn rushed into the fray to stand by the side of little Joie Ray of Chicago in defense of the mile when he clipped fifth If second l from the best that Nurmi had ever done. His figures were 4:13 2-5. Ritola, a countryman of Nurini. is fighting with the American army this time, although he batt!ed for Finland in the Olympic games last summer.

 The Bloomfield high school alum nj, which lost to the local Boys club Reserves here two weeks ago, not only counted Its chickens before they were matched. but actually counted thom before the eggs were laid. Af- ter their defeat in this city, they positively asserted, "We can trounce you on our own floor" so a return game was arranged. This. played in.

 Bill Fresen took a pass from Aron- son and scored the first basket of the game. Then Captain Andy Yakubowicz and Charley Bigge set about dropping then in with mechan- ical precision and were ahead by 22- at the end of the first half. They continued this pace during the final periods, in spite of wretched referee ing. Lee called but two fouls on Bloomfield during the whole game, but he piled technical after technical on the locals. The home team was powcrless from the floor. Parparian broke his record and made two field goals.
 After the game the Reserves missed the last car home and had to walk in from Elmwood, arriving fin this city about 2 o'clock. The score:
