the act. However, Mr.. Powell points
out, the act requires that if an en-
ployer was under the act for 1896, he
must remain under it and pay con-
tributions on his employees for 1887,
even if he reduces his force so he
does not have as many as eight en-
ployees for as many as 20 weeks dur
ing the year. lt'-s IL
If an employer who was under the
act for 1886 finds that he has not en-
ployed as many as eight workers for
20 weeks in 1887 and wants to get out
from under the act, he is required to
file with the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission a written applica-
ton for termination, of coverage prior
to January s. and if the commission
finds that such employer did not have
eight employees for 20 weeks during
the preceding year, then the coveraga
may be terminated as of January 1.
In accordance with the act, an en-
plOyer who is under the act or one
who does not have a sufficient num-
Der of employees to bring him under
the act, or is in an excluded employ
ment and is admitted into cOverage
by voluntary action, is required to pay
contributions for two years before he
can terminate his cOverage, Mr..
Powell cites. He also reminds that an

165 FOREST FIRES
REPORTED In JUNE
$4,000 Acres Burned Over During
3 Month in Counties Having

In the Sir Walter. HnfoV

Raleigh, July 81 A total of 16s
forest fires burned in counties coop.
Grating with the State in forest fire
control during the month of June, &C
cording to a report issued today by
w. C. Mccormick, chief forest fire
warden, Department of Conservation
and Development.
This was 134 fewer fires than re-
ported for May of this year, but due
to abnormal conditions, the number
of acres burned in June and the aver
age damage per acre were both high
err than for the proceeding month, -
Mccormick said. Although the middle
of May ordinarily marks the end Of
the fire hazard season in North Car
DINA, we had this year several large
forest fires which broke out in the
eastern counties in some of our most
extensive and valuable timber tracts.
These blazes burned over land which
usually at this time of the year is
under several feet of water
Chief among the causes of fires for
June were careless smokers in the
woods, who were responsible for start
ing 81 fires. Incendiarism caused 80
fires, while brush burning resulted in
81 forest fires being started.
The total acreage reported burned
was 14,267 acres, or nearly 5000 acres
more than reported in May with it's
larger number of forest fires. New
forests suffered the most severe dam
age, over 1000 acres of young growth
having been burned. The average dam
age per acre amounted to $2.11 while
the total damage to forests in the CO.
operating counties was estimated at
$31 900.
In regard to the number of fires
by districts, District Number Two was
low, reporting only two fires during
the month. District Four and Six tied
for high with 81 fires each.

 The hunt started Sunday when an Indian found most of the furs under tarpaulin cover on the river bank not far from the fort. Game Warden J. s. Clark headed the search. The furs were taken back to the fort shortly after the rob- bery.
 Ralph Sheffield and Henry Cour- voisier were arrested and charged with being two of the six men who held up and bound occupants of the post at the time of the robbery. The trial was delayed, and the men were released this spring.

MOOSE AND ELKS
 SET TO ATTEMPT MIX ONCE AGAIN

The softballers made the hardbal- lers look like sissies last evening, when the former played their sched- uled game while the latter failed to put in a showing at Firemen's Park for that much-postponed ball bat tie between the Moose and Elks.
 But, We can't let them get away with that!' is the rallying cry of the hardballers today, and t h t same Elks-M Moose fracas is on once again; scheduled for Firemen's Park this evening at o'clock.
 From the looks of the weather this afternoon, it is possible that the often-attempted contest will fi- nally be crossed off the slate this evening; that is, if the baseballers make good their word and really appear on the scene.
