Denison, Tex. Fire, believed to
have been started by robbers, destroy
ed nine business buildings at Potts
boro, eight miles west of here, early
today, with an estimated loss of about
$150,000. Overturned safes in some
of the burned structures indicated
they had been looted Among buildings
destroyed were the Odd Fellows Hall,
Masonic Temple and postoffiee.
The robbery and fire resembled the
work of men who recently looted banks
and business houses at Valley View
and Paradise, Tex. In each instance
the business sections of the little
towns were set afire late at night af1
ter safes had been blown. Property
loss from fire was much greater than
valuables stolen, None of the robbers
have been arrested.

GROCER.

Chain systems of grocery stores on
motor trucks are springing up in the
big cities. The grocer backs his stock
up to the curb and honks for the
housewife to come out and buy. It's
claimed that some of these trucks do
$1,000 day business apiece. No rent
Chain store systems are a bit wor-
ried. Consumers watch the contest
sensing that brains are finally being
applied to problems of distribution as
they have been for years to production.

FURNACE.

Heating your home by electricity
will be only matter of time, West
inghouse official predicts.
1t is also matter of cost.
Cheap electricity will be available
later Coal will be burned at the
mines and converted into electrical
power that will be sent out over high
tension wires to all parts of the coun-

on hauling coal by railroad will be
tremendous, not to mention the con-

 The drilling of an dttesiun well 10 supply water for the bathing lagoon at Rockwell Park has been advocated by local engineer The engineer favored he artrsian well as the easiest way out Of the problem. He thought that the chlorination proposition vas not any too sue. Ccssful.
 As result of the recent question. 1 ing of the purity of the water sup. piled for bathing purposes at Rock, well Park Lagoon made public hN a report from the directors of tn, | Chamber of Commerce showing tha ! practically all of the water used il | the lagoon came from the polute, !

 This man, well vcrscd in municipa affairs, has offered the idea that rh bathing pool be supplied with cit, 1 water. lnasmuch as the wate 1 mains carrying a supply from cit reservoirs run to tho Chidrcn's play ground, 1t would be easy to pip across the river and supply not onI the lagoon, but the drinking foun tains with city reservoir water.
 The Forestvillc citizen also sug gests the supplying of water b means of a fountain. This wouI be an ornamental feature and q addition 10 the beauties of the parl The cost of this would he slight a
 the water used would be small i volume, especially if a Chlorinatin
