E. Putman, local fire chief asks that the people give special thought to the subject this week. Films have been ordered by Mr. Putman and when they arrive they will be exhibited at the public schools. Some talks are also In pros pect at the schools on the topic of fire prevention. The Idea of the campaign is to wake the public up to the danger of fire, before and not after the fire comes. •Around almost any home or place of business may be found old rags, sometimes soaked in oil or grease, old papers, shavings and other rub bish in which fire can easily get a sta*t. This city has had a very de structive fire within the Inst month and it should hardly be necessary to call attention to the danger here. It makes no difference if we are in sured. The Insurance never entirely covers the loss and If It did. the fire might spread to other property nbt Insured. Accidental fire la one of tho greatest destructive fortes we have. As far as property Is concerned it is as bad as war. wV In Hermiston are asked this week to clean up any sources of dan. ger there may be on our premises. We are asked to make a resolbitton to be more careful about fires in the future than we have been In the past. The fire boys who have made something of a study of the subject will be glad to help-anyone with sug gestions. So let’s all dq our part. A,GOOD SHOW The dairy and hog show Is over until next year when It will be back again, better than ever. It was the opinion of most of thope who saw this year’s show that It was the1 beet ever held here. If that Is true It Is perhaps due to two changes which were mads this year. In the first place the show .was made to cov er a bigger Held. Prizes were added for things for which no prtxes had been ofered last year. Horses were added to the show and there was a good Exhibit of sheep. In short the show was made inter esting to more people. We are aware that many oppose extending the scope of the show^on the ground that dairy and hog raising are the two indust ries that need most to be encouraged and that giving premiums to other exhibits reduces the ones that can be given to the two leaders. This is a problem which we trust that a more liberal appropriation from the coun ty court next year will practically settle. Certainly the money should not be lacking to. encourage all the industries upon which the west end depends. We believe the dairy and hog show is destined to grow into a county fair for this end of Hie county in which dairying and hog raising will always h ive the main part be cause they are the leading industries but in which the other Industries like fruit, vegetables, honey an# poultry will have their proper part. In another respect t|ie show gave something a little out of the ordinary this year. This was in the sports program, the football game which s hould be made an annual event, the foot races, the pulling contest and he horse races. No matter how much nterested we may be In the exhibits we all want some amusement when we'go to a show and the sports help to furnish it. A good program of ports will always mean better crowds. Mqanwhile the commirtiity has cause to feel grateful to those who contributed services and money to make the show a success. The pres ident and directors of the show have given time for which there will be no recompense except the satisfaction of having accomplished something for the good of the comunity. The sup erintendents of the various divisions of the show gave a lot of time and so did the men and women who worked getting the grounds ready and pre paring the exhibits. So also the business men gave money. It was a good show and a credit to all who took part. ' LOGIC UNASSAILEBLE Weston Leader Here Is an argument by Professor Leacock, quoted in Collier's, that is virtually unanswerable. It would b worth reading at the forthcoming peace conference: “Simp’e though the proposition is, few people realize ¿hat there is no such thing as a stiong navy; the phrase merely means stronger than some one else’B; that is all. A strong navy Is like a long stick or a big stone; It is only :o by comparison. The strongest navy is weak when a big one is put beside It. It is- ftot possible for any nation to have a strong navy unless it can persuade the other nations to have weak ones, or unless it can so exceed the other nations in men and money and material that It acn out build tjieir utmost efforts. But If there are two or three nations more or less evenly «latched, then the com petitive building has no end; each new effort forces another; a naval budget of 60,000,000 pounds'sterling calls forth a corresponding amount of American dollars or of Japanese yen. However great the effort, there !s nothing in It that can be ultimate; it must be overpassed next time; the taxpayer with his burden on his back struggles vainly forward always In pursuit of the will-o’-the whisp of se curity that dances out of reach over thi marsh In which he sinks.” Brief and to the Point Chewing the rag fills no empty stomachs.—Columbia Record.
