 Lighted Match Starts Fire
 Some excitement was caused Sat- urday night in the store of the Hut ton-Jones Co.,, by lighted match carelessly thrown into a waste paper basket A customer tossed the match Into the basket and wandered out. Nothing happened for some time and another customer was being waited on. Suddenly the basket ignited and the flames shot up. The boy in charge at the time was able to put them out before any damage was done to the store. but local shop keepers today were united in a de- sire to stop this dangerous form of carelessness.
 They say that customers frequent ly throw matches around without bothering to notice if they are extin- guished. Others leave lighted cigar cites on the counters while being wanted upon and then walk out without them. This practice is the less dangerous of the two, because the butts are usually noticed before they burn back far enough to char the woodwork, but the merchants are one ill asking their patrons to be more careful with the matches.
