Star'.iig fires With Kerosene.
In the first six months of the
year of 1914 more people were
burned to death in the state of Illi
nois by starting fires with kerosene
than from any other cause.
It is an exceedingly dangerous
practice, warns the state fire mar
shal’s bulletin. So many fatal ac
cidents were reported that in some
counties the coroner of the county,
who was called upon to investi
gate these fatalities, issued warn
ing through the newspapers calling
the attention of the people to the
dangerous practice of starting fires
witi kerosene. In the county of
Stephenson, HJ.. five deaths were
reported in the period of one year.
Kerosene should never be pour
ed from a can into a stove under
any circumstances. A stove may
be warm or there may be a coal of
fire left in it, and in either case a
serious explosion is likely to follow.
Besides the liquid kerosene in the
can there is always present a high
ly inflammable and explosive gas.
If the stove is warm or a few coals
left in it, this gas may ignite and a
serious explosion occur, in which
the person starting the fire is likely
to be burned to death.
Kerosene starts a fire in a hurry.
It produces about six time as much
heat as wood in burning and it can
be readily lighted with a match.
Consequently it is unreasonable to
expect that its use in this connec
tion will be entirely discontinued.
The reasoncb’y safe ccurse to fol
low if kerosene must be used in
starting fires is to pour the kero
sene on the kindling before placipg
it in the stove.
Remember, the less kerosene
there is in the can the more room
there is for the explosive gas and
consequently the greater danger o
an explosion.
More than forty people were
burned to death in Illinois last yea
by starting fires with kerosene.
Never, under any circumstances
pour kerosene oil into a stoye.

A. 0. Williams for lreasurer.
We call the attention of our read
ers this week to the announcement
of A. G. Williams, who is a candi
date for Treasurer of Union coun
ty, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary next March.
MK Williams was born and
reared to manhood at Hillsboro,
this county. He is a son of the
late Col. H. G. P. Williams, one of
the best known and best loved citi
zens who ever lived within the
bounds of old Union. He was ed
ucated at Ouachita Baptist college,
Arkadelphia. and the greater part
of his life since then has been
spent as accountant: he has served
as deputy County Treasurer for
three years, at times having entire
charge of the business of the office:
he has served two terms as City
Recorder of El Dorado, ana during
the absence of the mayor from the
city, has filled the chair and in ev
ery instance, and to whatever duty
he has been called, the obligation
has been discharged in a faithful
and satisfactory manner.
The experience gained in the
Treasurer's office, as well as in the
other important positions he has
fil ed. well fits him to make an A 1
official, and he promises his entire
time and attention to the office.
He will be courteous and attentive
to everyone having business in the
office and will be truly a servant of
the people.
He solicits your vote on his
qualifications and ability to serve
you, and will be grateful for any
thing you may do to advance his
interests. He will make an effort
to see you before the primary, but
asks you. anyway, to take this as
an earnest appeal for your support.

Co-operation.
The biggest economic problem of
America today is that of distribu
tion of farm produce. This cannot
be solved by any one thmg but co
operation and organization among
farmers will do more than all other
things yet thought of. The Ex
tension Division of the University
of Arkansas, cooperating with the
United States Department of Agri
culture, is this year organizing
farmers’ clubs that may take up
any work the members favor.
These should be organized in every
neighborhood, but especially where
perishable crops are grown for
market. The organization is so
simple that no ‘’organizer" is need
ed and there are no dues until the
members so vote. Send to the
| Extension Division at Fayetteville
for circulars.
Boys' and C r's’ tlabs.
A hundred thousand Arkansas
! boys and girls snould be in the
Boys' and Girls' clubs next year
in "Corn Clubs." "Pig Clubs."
Canning" ard "Poultry Club."
There is no better way to teach
scientific agriculture and the sci
mce of food and food preparation
| The extension division of the Uni
/ersity has a department especially
for the boys and girls with W. J.
Jernigam old state house. Little
Rock, in charge, with Miss Emma
Archer in charge of the girls work
and H. K. Sanders in charge of the
pig club work. Bankers, commer
cial clubs, womens' clubs, stock
men and other progressive people
will nut easily find a better way of
advancing agriculture and better
living than through these activities
for the boys and girls.
What Sherman Said About War.
“I confess without shame that I
am tired and sick of war. Its glo
ry is all moonshine. Even success
the most brilliant is over dead and
mangled bodies, anguish lamenta
tions. distant families appealing to
me for missing sons, husbands and
fathers. It is only those who have
not heard a shot nor heard the
shrieks and groans of the wounded
and lacerated who cry aloud for
more blood, more vengeance, more
desolation. War is Hell."
That is just what Sherman said
after seeing it in all of its worst
phases. He saw his own men. not
only shot down, wounded, manglea.
maimed and dying: not only heard
their groans and shreaks as they
weltered in their own blood, raving
mad from the burning thirst, known
only to the wounded, and the in
tense pain they suffered; but he
saw men under his own direction
apply the torch to fair homes from
which helpless beings had be°n
driven, either by the flames or from
fright. Yes. Sherman knew and
the victims of his march through
Georgia knew what the horrors of
war were. The Belgians, the
Serbs, the Bulgars, the Turks, the
French and Poles of the present
day are learning the lesson already
taught their predecessors in former
days. Exchange.

Tool fashions.
I
In summer time the girls wore
furs, whi h must have been -dis
tressing, and much discomfort then
was hers, or 1 am badly guessing.
I well remember Susan Jane
wrapped up in seal and ermine,
when everything upon the plain in
sizzling heat was squirmin’. And
yet she uttered no complaint, most
I martyrlike of creatures, although
the heat dissolved her paint till it
ran down her features. Some
brand new fad in winter wear she'll
spring, we well may trust her;
when blizzards frolic she will bear
a fan and linen duster. We'l1 see
her in the howling storm, a simple
flynet around her. and she will say
she is quite warm, when snow and
hailstones pound her. Girls wou'd
commit, in Fashion’s name, all er
mines, clear up to treason; at her
decree the modern dame abandons
[sense and reason. < And here the
; hausfrau says to me, ’’The men are
I just as silly: they’ll go as far, at
| Styles decree, as any blooming filly.
The hat you wear gives me the
! clues, vour shirt has gaudy primp
ing. you're always wearing pointed
"hoes, although they keep you
limping. Your linen l liar saw
your ears, your pin has r late glass
in it: you'd better quit this handing
jeers to women every minute."

We would not encourage anyone to be “stingy.” and
we would not think of asking you to deprive the young
folks of Christmas joys. Give them their little pleasures
now. but do not forget to provide for future Christmases.
Lay up something for the future, or the time may come
when you will have to disappoint them. Sickness may
come or the loss of your job may happen at any time when
it would be a calamity indeed.
Think not only of their pleasure and comfort at
Christmas time, but for all the year round. Make sure that
they will get what they deserve at all times by saving a
part of everything you earn and banking it to provide for
your own and your family's future needs. We will help
you save.
