The argument whieh won for the July 4 date was that closing of business houses ou a regular business day would encourage mail order buying. While the pieuic is promoted by the grocers and butchers, all merchants of the county are eligible to attend. It is anticipated that setting of the date on a holiday will result in an attendance of probably i0,l)00.

A few days ago A. E. Oibbs and R. H. Stroud, of the state traffic department, were returning from a trip out to Ixiudon, when they dis covered a fire in the roof of the H. A. Wnrthou home. Fearing that it might exceed the speed limit and destroy the property, they went to the assistance of Mrs. Warthon, who wns at home with her two little children, and soon extinguished the incipient blaze, much to the relief of Mrs. Warthon, who was greatly excited and had made little head way in getting to the flumes. Help was summoned from the Walter Woodard mill near by, but the dan ger wus over before the mill men arrived. A coincidence in connection with the arrival of the state officers at the psychological moment was that while at London they had debuted whether to continue their trip to Black Butfe, hud flipped a coin and upon the turn of the coin started upon their return to this city, chug ging along ut about 15 miles an hour. Hud they made the trip to Black Butte they would have been too lute to have been of ussistauce and had they traveled faster than 15 miles they would have passed the Warthon home before tho fire started.
