Fire Chief Rullff Newell as well as
a fire fighter is constantly studying
fire prevention and ho is authority
that the old adage that an ounce of
prevention Is worth a pound of cure
la pun In dentins with fires as no
where elso.
Each Christmas Chief Newell IssueB
an earnest appeal to our citizens to
bo careful about big fires. Maysvllle
has been fortunate in escaping fires
at the holiday time and probably be
cause they take the advise of the head
of our fire department.
It is a fact that In many cities there
are more fires at the holiday time than
at any other time during the year be
cause folks In their glee become care
less and because there is so much in
flnmable material about tho homes.
The don'ts issued today by Chief
Newell are directed especially to mer
chants and to those preparing tho
churches for Christmas entertain
ments. They follow
Don't use swinging gas brnckots
Don't decorate with straw, leaves or
paper unless flreproofod.
rinn't ime cotton to imitate snow

Don't use electric wires for clothes

Don't place wires or metallc deco
rations where they may short-circuit
a current.
Don't have open lights for ribbons
fancy paper and light fabrics to blow
into.
Don't block aisles or exits with dis
plays.
Don't let cotton goods or papei
similes rest against electric Ugh
bulbs.
Don't fail, if you have a departmen
store, to test all fire apparatus and

New York. December 20 Resump
tion of peace-time pursuits, with the
addition of new Industries, such as
dye making and the boom expected In
tho building trades, will carry the
United States at once Into a period of
great prosperity, according to reports
eathered today.
When restrictions on building trades
are fully raised and the need for man
ufactured and raw materials in Eu
rope becomes keenly felt, business de
pression which may result from the
stopping of war work will be over
come rapidly, it is believed.
Representatives of industry in 34
states, Just concluding a conference
of the Advisory Committee of the Na
tional Council for Industrial Defense
here, say tho nation la on the eve of
"good tlmec," with jobs aplenty for
returning soldiers and men and wo
men thrown out of work in munitions
plants.
Thomas M. Custer, manager of the
Industrial Association of Oregon,
said women were good enough for war
work and they will bo good enough for
peace pursuits.
They will not be dropped now, and
every man returning from the army or
navy will find a Job waiting for him.
he said.
"Our section of the country has
raised no war babies" said H. H. Rey
nolds, secretary of the Employers As
sociation of the Inland Empire, Epo-
kane, Wash. "Therefore, wo arc not
affected by the loss of war contracts.
We have about three years' road work
to catch up with and that alone will
give employment to hundreds.
"Washington and Idaho alone, cov
ering a territory greater than France,
possess vast natural resources and gi
gantic opportunities."
Simllam optimism was expressed by
business men from all parts of the
country.

NO DISCORD AMONG ALLIES AND
UNITED STATES
Washington, December 20 The al
lies and the United States are harmon
ious In the peace preliminaries, the
State Department assured today.
This word was given to counteract
German propaganda, which is trying
to split the nations by diBcord.
While tho president has done com
paratively little in Paris so far, he
has been met with extreme cordiality.
It Is admitted differences of opinion
may develop, but the State Depart
ment believes such will be the honest
differences which would prevail in any
group with varied Interests.

NO COUNTY CHURCH SERVICES ON
SUNDAY
1 Robert L. Hmflich I
rmm
Although County Health Olllcer
Locke's order permitting the county
churchcB to resume services on Christ
mas day and limiting the churches to
one hour service each Sunday seemed
to be pluin, some have the Impression
that services can be held Sunday. This
is not the order and those holding ser
vices next Sunday will be breaking the
rules of the Health authorities. The
partial lifting of the ban In tho county
does not go into effect until Christmas
day.
