TELEPHONE BOY HERO

On the roll of youthful heroes the name of Johnny Macris, 15-year-old switchboard operator, of the Engle- wood, N. J., hospital deserves high place, his intelligent and brave action having materially aided in saving no patients from the burning building without the loss of single life.
 When the hospital caught fire, John ny stuck to his switch board calling fire apparatus and warning the vari- ous sick wards until he fell unconsci- ous, overcome by smoke, afterward being carried to safety
 Doctors, nurses, policemen, firemen and nearby residents worked desper. ately to save the lives of the inmates including 20 newly born babies.
 Six of the rescuers were severely hurt during the process of the fire, and that there was no loss of life is declared to have been truly remark. able.
 The subperb courage of Johnny Mar. cris illustrates the fact that many an obscure person is potential hero capable of responding nobly to a su. preme emergency.

HENS MAKING RECORD

An especially interesting national egg-laying demonstration has been in progress during the past six months under the auspices of the Alabama az ricultural college, of which J. E. Ivey, is state poultry specialist.
 While majority of the hens con- testing are owned in Alabama, those of other states are we'll represented in the competition, which embraces sev eral of the best known laying breeds. Records are kept of individual hens, as we'll as groups or pens.
 As this is written Barred Rock hen owned by Mrs. D. T. Tatum, of Lafayette, Ala, holds the individual record, having laid 13e eggs and miss ing only IS since last November. Two Rhode Island Reds owned in Birming- ham are tied for second place, with 130 eggs each.
 One week recently pen of ten Barred Rock hens at Jasper, Ala, pro- duced GA eggs out of possible 70 in the seven days, showing that they do not observe any Sunday "blue laws"
 This competition is demonstrating the value of raising pure-bred fowls and is stimulating great interest with poultrymen and farmers of many of the states. The time is rapidly ap- preaching when the scrub breeds of chickens and other poultry will find no place on the modern farm. In every department of live stock the same tendency to better sires and more scientific management is in evi dence. It is most encouraging sign of the farmers awakening to the nee essity for advanced methods in the conduct of his business

FIRE WARNING

The 1925 forest fire season has ar rived. Even at this early date fire in the woods are occurring. The dan ger will increase with the lengthening dry season. The U. s. Forest Ser vice employees urge every one to be careful with fire in the woods, and this refers to campers and smokers, particularly to smokers of cigarettes. They thoroly approve of those in the woods of using chewing tobacco.
 The Forest Service agents are mak- ing an extreme effort to keep fire out of the Seward District. The part has not yet been scared with fire. An increase of equipment will be in use and more men will be on patrol. How ever these will be of little avail if the citizens let up in carefulness, inter est and help.
 In case a fire is found by some Sewardite, please report the fire from the nearest telephone to the nearest forest Officer. The district ranger and all guards have telephones. Cen tral will connect you. If these men are not available at once, report the fire to Harry Ellsworth, Joe Badger or Ralph Reed. These men will be in a position to act.

PROHIBITION MUDDLE

Recent investigations by Senator Couzens' committee have disclosed serious discord among officials who are supposed to enforce the Volstead Act.
 In the testimony before the commit tee, that of Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, assistant attorney general in charge of prohibition enforcement, was al- most sensational.
 Summed up briefly she charged lack of cooperation on the part of the Treas ury Department and states that al- though it had $26,00O,000 available for enforcement purposes, many necessary activities had been neglected and that her department had been forced to spend it's own funds for expenses that should have been taken care of by the treasury branch.
 She also declared that evidence which would have aided her in crimi- nal prosecutions was withheld by the Treasury officials, notably in the case of Fleischmann, involving 434,000 gal Ions of liquor.
 Mrs. Willebrandt at the same time took occasion to condemn federal judges, district attorneys and others of her own department for laxity in the performance of their duties. She said that the little bootlegger was be. ing given more attention that the wholesaler and the man higher up.
 Much disloyalty and grating among enforcement agents was also disclos. ed during the investigation, said to be due to the appointment of political favorites instead of applying civil ser vice rules and making more searching inquiries into the character of appli cants.
 From all the evidence presented il appears that the prohibition enforce ments machinery is sadly in need O overhauling, which is now said to bt
 in progress.
