LOCALFIRE CO.
ANSWERED FOUR
CALLS MONDAY
Most Of The COnflagra-
tiOns Were Caused By
Defective Flues.
FOUR TOWN FIRES

A fire that started in a thicket on
the farm of George Swain in Cedar
Neck threatened to destroy the
dwelling Sunday afternoon. A heavy
wind was blowing at the time and
carrying the fire in the direction of
a large tract of woodland that ex-
tended near the dwelling. The Car
Isle Fire Company was called and
with help started a backfire that
checked the flames.
This fire seemed to be the begin
ming of a series of calls that con-
tinued all day Monday, keeping the
local boys on the jump until late
Monday afternoon. Four calls were
answered Monday morning before s
o'clock. The first call came at a.
m. when they were summoned to the
| home of Arthur DiekersOn on Truitt
avenue. Mr.. DickeTsoH,had started a
fire and a defective f1ue endangered
the dwelling. The fire was exiting
uished with the use of chemicals. At
Z a. m. they were called to the home
of Edward ]. Salevan, near Milford,
where sparks had carried a newly
made fire to the roof of the dwell
ling.
The fire was extinguished without
much damage. At 7:45 a. m. they
were called to the residence of Mary
Allen. North Milford. to put out a
chimney fire. and a few minutes la
ter they were summoned to Har-
ringtOn where the hatchery of w.
D. Scott was destroyed by fire and
the flames were threatening the
Kent and Sussex Fair Grounds.
At 4 o'clock Monday afternoon the
boys were again called to the home
of Mrs. William Walls in South Mil
ford. where a defective fiue had set
the woodwork on fire.

ARti-SalOOn League Will Not Halt

Renewed pledges to continue their

give up their fight until this State is

In the preamble it is set out that
repeal of the 18th Amendment and
of the dry laws of the State has per-

The Store of Yesterday 1897
"Symons--Economist for the People"

TOT the cope
Upon the inception of the Symons Dry Goods Company in 1897, the four
founders, William and Harry Symons, Joseph and Henry Oppenhemer,
obligated themselves to give to Butte a store that would be worthy of the
city - a complete merchandising establishment that would cater to every
home need, and outfit everyone.
Only reputable, servceabe apparel va. to be sold, o a cash
basis, at prices within the reach of every income. From the
first day standard brands of recognized and unqesioned quality
were in evidence. New ideas in merchandising were pioneered
by Symons.
Employees were selected with q view of having cheerful, courteous and
thoughtful service for every customer and shopper, regardless of position
in life. Strict adherence to each and every ne of these principles raj rigid
ly enforced by the founders. Recognition naturally followed, and Symons
became known nationally.

"Symons--Butte's Pioneer Home-O Owned Store"
In this day of rapidly changing ownershTs and absorption by large enter
pries, the Symons Store is unique in remaining a home-owned institution.
The second generation an descendants of the original founders are larry
ing on with the same steadfast purpose incuIcated by the pioneer owners
fully 81 ears ago.
The Store policy still dictates selling for cash, a prices that
are never high. Many brand, that were associated with Symons
upon the opening in 1897 arr still the leaders and may be found
OF the Symons shelves. Their quality and reputation have
grow with the years
That: the foundation of the store rested upon well thought-out principles is
evidenced by the tremendous patronage and high esteem in which Symons
is held at a nationally known western institution. Still catering to every
family need, % will find at Symons the big stocks-~. the big vdues.~~..

STAG ROADS TO
AID FARMERS
This Type of Road After Ex-
pertinent, Found To Be
Best Available
IL CONTRACTS TO BE LET

Eleven road projects for second
ary roads, bids for which are to be
opened Wednesday by the State
Highway Department, will be of
Traffic Bound surface. This new
type of road, by experiment, has
aroused a multitude of questions
as to just what a Traffic Bound
surface is and what is the reason
for so many of the secondary roads
being SO constructed, TO which in
quiries, w. w. Mack, State Engin-
eer, has made this explanation
Traffic Bound surface is a well
graded dirt road on which Stag or
stone are spread and thus allowed
to stand for year or two except
for frequent gradings until the
final application of tar is added as
necessity arises. There are sever
al important reasons for these kind
of roads being built. With two
thirds of the farms of the State
still on unimproved roads, the lay
ing of concrete on these 2700 miles
Of highways would cost approx
mately s54 100000, an almost i'm
possible figure to contemplate, so
that in order to bring these farms
into touch with main highways
within any reasonable length Of
time, a cheaper type Of road must
be developed. In the absence of
any real amount Of good gravel in
the State, the Department must
turn TO Stag or stone. The Regu-
lar traffic over these roads estab-
fishes a uniform thickness Of the

compelling the slag or stone to
seek its own Ievel, quickly show
ing up the soft spots which are
eliminated by adding more surface
