OIIING THE JOINTS OF FIRE BOARD

In clcctinG a captain recently the fire board found it necessary to take 34 ballots. This was an indication Of the dissonant condition existing upon this important civic body.
 To be forced 10 take that number Of ballots 10 appoint captain is entirely too ridiculous proceeding for citizens 10 observe without certain amount Of cerebral irritation.
 Now it has come to pass on the fire board where a change for the better has virtually been ordered by the mayor or there will be a decap- itation from the board. The person. mel of the board may be efficient if it could forget petty differences over trivialities and endoavor to do busi- ness in a busincsslike manner. It therefore is 10 be hoped that the board mends its ways and substi- tutcs reason for stubbornness.
 The argument over what kind of an automobile 10 purchase for the chief was another instance of un- necessary vcrbosi,y, The detail as to what fund should receive the money derived from turning in the present apparatus was not worth so much eccentric verbal yirtuosity as it got, although there was fair room for some discussion, to be followed in due course by proper disposal Of the matter.
 The mayor is justified in being dis pleased at the recent performances Of inc board, II is to be hoped that the board, now it is placed upon us good behavior will justify improved confidence in the future.

MINNEAPOLIS BECOMES SMALLPOX CENTER

Minnesota has been regarded as a pretty hcalthtul state; it's winter air is of that crisp cold variety we know in New England. But the state has suffered from malignant species of smallpox that makes the epidemic of year ago in southern New Eng land look mild by comparison.
 The total of cases In Minnesota in 1924 was 3.1l5, resulting in BOT deaths according to official figures. The epidemic started with one case in Duluth in January, 1924, tho dis ease spreading steadily until in De- cember there were 473 cases, with 149 deaths.
 Here is what medical publication cites regarding those who died of smallpox:
 rOf the 3O7 who died, not one
 had been successfully yaccinat-
 ed within seven years; 4 had
 been successfully yaccinated
 more than seven years preyi-
 ously;. 243 had never been sue
 cessfully yaccinatcd, and the
 remaining r were unable to give a definite history of vac cination."
 The situation has continued to be i serious, however, and in January of this year 34G cases existed with g9 deaths; and during that month the disease spread 10 at least three other statcs-Wiscousin, Iowa and North . Dakota. Ky February there were 25 cases in Wisconsin and nine deaths It was not until February that an order became effective iu St. Pau excluding unyaccinatcd chidrcl { from school, and it was stated thu , the board Of education ill Mime apoiis was considering" making ; similar order, The epidemic in Min nesota ccntered in the Twin cities, It will be interesting 10 note i smallpox conditions improve in Min ncsota after the chief cities there adopt stringent vaccination, if the! , ever do, Such statistics, travclint at the usual rate, will doubles come 10 hand in about a year.

Mrs. Sir Walter Raleigh

By Wallace NJ. Bayllss When in the mud he threw that
 coat of his And, lowing humbly, said; "step on
 it, Liz" Sir Walter Raleigh knew, without a
 doubt, The gallant deed would surely help
 him olt. Help him It did, for over 1t she
 hied. And when, dry shod, she reached
 the other side, The queen said graciously: Come
 round some night And we will have a bottle and a
 bite" As home he went Sir Walter walked
 on air, But down to earth he came when
 he got there. > One look his wife took at the dirty
 coat And instantly she lost her wifely
 goat. Before he could explain about his luck She cried, Good night! Just look
 at all the muck! For Goodness sake! You have been drunk again And wallowing with hogs who think
 they're men!" Sir Walter told her how he helped the queen But could not make wife see that it would mean A great thing in their fortunes: all | she saw Was something more to wash. And
 did she jaw? I'll say she did! So much that one
 fine day Sir Walter took a ship and sailed away. They said he went exploring for his
 queen; He hunted peace, more than new
 lands, l ween.
