Horton, Major of the Baker Hattalion of Home Guards, has written Mayor Saunders re garding the forming of a com pany here, 'stating that he would send further dotai h as to manner of organization and furnish all assistance possible. In the past, several citizens of the Valley have suggested that they favored such an organization and wore willing to join, but the matter was dropped. Yc believe that the lime has arrived when something along this line should be done. Major HorUn informs us that previous military exper ience is not absolutely necessary for the odicers, as a special drill book has been issued and that many competent men can be found here who could look after that with a little study. Any male person between the ages of 15 and G5 may join, and everyone in Eaglo Valley inter ested in organizing u Company of Home Guards are requested to meet at the K. P. Hal in Rich land at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, February 3rd. Borah Flays War Critics Senator Borah of Idaho, in an address to ap immense patriotic defense league meeting held at Baltimore last Sunday, vigorously defended President Wilson's ad ministration and congress against wild criticisms of men whom he said could not forget partisanship, saying among other things: "There are a few men in these jmicial times who are unable to forget their partisanship, but they should not be taken too ser iously, for let me assure you that as a whole, congress is straining every nerve and spending days and weeks of energy in the great task of turning a peace loving nation into a fighting machine and doing everything in its power to put the nation on its strongest lighting basis. J beg of you not to judge congress by the few who criticize. The process of trans formation is a big one nnd in or der for no mistakes to have been made, the administration would have to be divine." The government is calling for bids for carrying the mail be tween Baker and Robinette via Sparta and Richland. Wo, for ono, approve of that servico and with a little united offort on the part of our citizens wo believe the route could bo established. Postmaster Kendall is not in favor of it, however, so no assist ance can bo expected from him but it seems there should bo a sufficient number in favor of sot ting mail direct from Baker to outweigh bia objections.

From evidence secured from reliable sources we learn that the accident wus due to a certain party endeavoring to evaporate niter from the spirits of niter so lution. It appears that he was a novice at the business and placed the vessel containing the liquid dircctjy on the hot stove where it quickly caught afire. In at attempting to. remove it the blaz ing stuff was spilled over Lavelle who ran shrieking to another room where she was caught by her father and flames finally ex tinguished. Dr. Wilson was immediately summoned and he in turn called Dr. Sanders from Halfway. It was found that the child received terrible burns aronnd the hips and hands, many other burns were also sustained. While her condi tion is precarious, her ultimate recovery is predicted unless com plications of some sort develop. Her father, E. E. Augustus, had his hands badly burned and Shorty Hal also sustained some blisters. It was fortunate indeed that that the results were not tnore disastrous. It has been the practice jn this community for many months for "thirsty" fellows to buy spirits of niter and af ter evaporating the niter to "tank up" on the alcohol. As soon as Druggist Barber got next to the scheme he refused to sell more than four ounces to a customer unless he believed the purchaser intended to Use the article medicinally. Having no reason to doubt Mr. Hall's state ment that he had a sick horse at Sparta and was on his way there to doctor it, he was given the amount asked for. No blame cap be laid to Mr. Barber as he acted in good faith, it being no unusnl thing for farm ers to buy niter by pint or quart, but we are told thatthe govern ment provides severe punishment for making wrongful use of it. The Water's Fine To the timid kid hesitating at the old swimming hole, in doubt, and afraid the water is too muddy too deep, too cold, there comes the cheerful call of the venture some youngster already in: "Aw, come on in, the water's fine." The one who has tried it is in a position to know. Are you in doubt as to what bank to do busi ness with? Do you want to know of a safe, reliable institution that you can trust with your business? Just try the kid's plan. Ask any of the people who are doing busi ness with us.

Sumner Woods and Frank High, who have been con ducting tHe blacksmith shop and garage at New Bridge thp past year, have leased the Jones shop and garage in Richland and took charge of same last Saturday. Woods, whose reputation as an expert blacksmith and farrier is known to all, informs us that he has engaged another man who is just as efficient a workman, to assist him in this department and that all work in their line, no matter how large or small the job, will be done promptly and in a correct manner. Mr. High will have charge of the garage and has engaged the services of an expert auto mech anician to assist him. He guar antees that cars left in his shop for overhauling or repairs will be properly looked after not tink ered with by novices, jn .he busi ness. All kinds of repair work on any make of car will be taken care of promptly. Both Mr. Woods and Mr. High are honest and industrious and apnounce that they will conduct their business on a strictly cash basis and give every customer an absolutely square deal. Call on them and get acquaint ed, they are courteous jovial fel lows and wilj be pleased to meet you at any time, For Fire Protection It is evident that the citizens of Richland are not much inter ested in organizing a lire company as only four men attended the "mass meeting" Monday night However J. B. McDowell was ap pointed Fire Chief and given in struction to keep all apparatus in condition for instant use in case of need. In spite of the fact that there is an ordinance providing a finp of $5 to be assessed against any party taking ladders from, the city fire truck without immediately replacing them, on Monday night there was not a ladder to be found. Mr. McDowell was told to locate the ladders if possible and to demand their return im mediately, and if same are not in place by next council meeting night there will be trouble for some one. Mrs. Nora McCraw called Mon day and subscribed for the News. She informed us that she had been suffering for several weeks with ear trouble and expected to go to Baker this week to see Dr. Pearce.
