FIRE! FIRE!

Fire. Fire! is an exciting al
arm. We all naturally run to-
wards the fire. Wonder if our
nome or property of some one
is being destroyed. Yet we hard
ly know what TO do. We go to
the scene of the fire, and then
begin to run for bucket, and
then have to hunt for water.
BY this time generally the hous
is burned up.
Preparation for fighting a fl
re should be made before the
fire begins. What has Clintw-
God done, or what has your CO.
immunity done in the way of
preparing to fight fire? Do
you know where to find a ladd-
er, an ak, buckets, and water +?
Every community should ha-
We a fire fighting apparatus at
a convenient place to reach, a
place where they are known to
be,and where they can be had
on immediate notice.
The town council should see
that this fire equipment is pro-
vlded for and kept at it's prop
er place. While it is we'll known
that Clintwood has an excellent
flre-fighting bucket brigade,
yet how much more could these
men do if they were properly
equipped with fire-fighting too
Is. Most any building can be sa-
we'd if reached in time, but the
critical time in fire-fighting is
usually spent in finding ladders
buckets, axes and water. Why
not make preparation now fer
the next fire in your commun-
ity. What does the town council
have to say about the next fire.

CHEVROLET HAS new
BUILDING


The Chevrolet Motor Comp
any today announces the open
ing of new S625, 900 parts and
service building in Flint, Mich.
This structure marks the comp
letion of a two million dollar
parts and service program ex-
tending over the last year and
a half and involving in addition
the construction of four major
supply depots and a complete
reorganization Of those at Oak
land, and Tarrytown.
The new Flint building is tn
rec story steel and concrete
structure with a total of 225,000
square feet of floor space. Rail
road docks for IL freight cars
have bee provided to expedite
slipping.
Made necessary because of the
great icrease in Chevrolet own
Iership during the year, the new
warehouse is one of the finest
in the industry with the most
modern conveyors and the late
st equipment for handling par
Fts, and promises to provide Che
|vrolet with the most complete
facilitates for the efficient hand
Hing of nartS distribution
The structure becomes the
central Chevrolet warehouse,
the major portion of which is
devoted to the storing of parts
to insure good service to Chew
rolet owners. More than two Mil
lion dollars worth of parts will

The plant is also equipped to
handle the vast export business
now being done by the Chevro-
Flet Motor Company. Shipments
leave the plant daily for Chew
rolet foreign plants and repre-
sentatives in all quarters of the
world.
Since the first of the year
Chevrolet has also established
complete warehousing operat-
ions at Des Moines, Memphis
and Kansas City, with a new
warehouse to be completed in
Los Angeles, Feb. 1. The four

The KICK IN A KISS

Fer the benifit of the uninit-
iatel II is here stated that a
Kiss is q compression of the clo-
sed cavity Of the mouth by the
cheek, giving a slight sound
when the rounded contact of
the lips with another's is brok-
en-. 1t tastes better than it SOU
nds.
A would-be crepe-hanger has
informed an Indifferent and I'M
responsive world that every
kiss INDUCED in shortens ones
life three minutes. If this bird
has the correct dope he has GER
tainly suggested a delightful
method of leaving this vale of
tears. If the pleasure of kissing
must be given up in order to re-
ach a ripe old age, a referendum
on the subject would undoubt-
fully be unanimous in favor of
an early but blissful demise.
But it is apparent that the
facts in the case are contrary
to the conclusions arrived at.
There are no records available
OF long-distance nonstop oscul-
atory feats with their attend
ant losses, so one must rely
more or less ON personal exper-
fence.
The aforesaid experience con-
vinces all but a few more for
tunate and oftener kissed ones
that they swere born to outlive
Methuselah. For where is there
a man with soul so dead as to
admit that he has kissed more
than is good for him? And to
even inquire of such woman
is futile. Other evidence to re-
flute the contention Oscillation
shortens life might be interduc-
ed, but why trouble ones self
about it? If one could prove
that a single kissmeant instant
death therewould be millions
willing to make theleap. A little
kissing now and then is relished
by the best of 'em.
Each cigarette is said to be
a coffin nail, tight shoes ruin
feet and take all the pleasure
out of life, wars harm all and
benefit none. But the consump-
ton of cigarettse increases at
an amazing pace, tight shoes
pinch every feminine foot and
each war has new innovations
to delight the military gentry.

and bear arms shall not be in
fringed."
Target practice and good ma
rksmanship has been part of
the life of the normal American
boy. Legislation to prohibit this
on the theory that it would re-
,duce crime, is a mistake, for the
criminal would still get his guns
from sources outside the Unit
ed States. AS a matter of fact,
most of the worst crimes are
not committed with gun. Hat
chefs, axes, clubs, knives and
other instruments take a great
err toll.
In their honest desire to br,
ing about >law enforcement in
this country, it is a question of
whether the people will hastily
adopt a measure which in the
long run would make it easier
for criminals to carry on their
work.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

Advertisements are beginning
to appear with decorations of
holly and mistletoe and smiling
faces of Santa Claus. To the OBJ
servant these ad frescoes tell
their own story, give their own
warning, hint at the important
business from which none is
barred in which sooner or later
everybody will be engaged.
In other words, Christmas
shopping. The holiday is little
more than month ahead, few
err shopping days than fifty by
a good deal. In no time these
days will pass. The natural pro-
crastinator will wait until Chr
istmas Eve when store aisles
will be jammed by other bro
crastinators, stocks picked out,
clerks weary, customers in a
flutter, clocks ticking times ra-
pid pace, all because the remin-
ders of to-day have been neg
lected.
Every year more sensible per
sons do their Christmas shop
ping early. They reap all the adj
vantages in variety of selection
and leisure of choice and when
Christmas Eve comes they can
proceed about their last-minute
holiday tasks orderly, while the
others fume and sputter.

AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE

Discussion Of the subject of
compulsory automobile liability
insurance is wide spread over
the nation. 1t is being debated
IN high schools throughout the
state of Wisconsin. Among arti-
cles which are being freely used
for reference by students is a
speech delivered by Henry Swi-
1T Ives, Vice President of the
House of Chicago, before the
Ohio State Bar Association, en-
5itled, Compulsory Liability
insurance, With Particular Re-
ference to Automobile Insuran
C."
The Wisconsin Free Library
located at Madison, is aiding in
distribution of material on this
topic, among students. IONA
Gale is chairman of the comm
lssioners of the library, and Gil
en- Frank, Chairman of the I'm
iversity Of Wisconsin, is also a
member of the board.
The really basicquestion in
the whole discussion is not SC
much whether we favor this
new type of compulsory insur-
ance, but how far we favor ex-
tending the doctrine of. pattern
alism in this nation.

THINK THIS OVER

Altho the corporate form of
business is predominant in most
industries, and corporations SUI
Ipply most of our necessities ex-
cepting foodstuffs, and nearly
Jail OF our luxuries, they are tax
xed at a rate two and one half
times as high as the rate apply
ing to any other form of busin-
Pess. The corporation income tax
rate IS 1872 per cent; the max
mum normal rate on individu-
Ialsand partnerships is only S
per cent; and on small incomes
from ~ to 3 per cent.
Discussing this peculiar situa-
ton, Wilson Compton, Secreta-
Try and manager of the Nation
Ial Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
|clat1on, recently said:
In the last year reported by
the Treasury Department, an,
filed tax returns. Of these only
|2,50O,OO0 were taxable, the 9th
ers being within exemptions.
Against this number are over
100000 individual stock
holders who together own the
corporations. Assuming that
the 100000 individual taxpay-
ers are included among the Is,
100000 owners of corporation
stocks, it still leaves 12,500,OOO
stockholders who pay no direct
income tax, because of small in
comes. But a corporation in
which they own stock is comp
hlled to pay for them 1879 per
cent.
Originally the corporation
rate was identical with the nor
NAL rate on individual l. ONES
But since the war the inGividu-
al rate has been reduced from
10 per cent to 5 per cent; and
the corporation rate increased
from 10 per cent to 1919 per
cent"
