Smoko pipes are often ■care lessly allowed to come in contact with wood work. Many people build a roaring fire, and then forget about it and have their house with the drafts in stoves and furnace wide open. They need not. be surprised if on their fo- turn they find the firemen have had to pay a sudden onll. Every open fire ought to be provided _witii a good tight screen, ns certain kinds of wo'od distribute sparks freely The carelessness of people in sugh ro spects causes" many disastrous fives and everybody hnB to pay for them through the cost of insurance policies.

Sla ton, former governor, president of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives, is one of tho test in formed men in Goorgin Ss to what Is going on politically and otherwise— who’s who and why. His familiarity with state finances is most exhaustive; it was under Govern or Sinlo’s administration thut tf.1 present tax equalization law w'as passed. He was a business governor in every sense of the word. •lust now, however, the former gov ernor is concerning himself very little with politics—certainly with the per sonal phases thereof. Ho has other worries; for, despite his persistent good nature and optimism—or maybe be cause of the same -Governor Slaton, has shown of Into years a decided in clination to uceumulato nvoirdupoise; and no female of the species, 40 and lair, stays more steadily on the job of “reducing” than does the for liter chief executive nowadays. “The way to avoid overweight,” says Governor Slaton, “ is to live in the open. Got plenty of oxcrcise atfty fresh Uir, That will hold you to nor ' mnlcy. ” . When Mr. Slaton was governor be sometimes was a holy terror to the executive stall about him. Ho had i\ disconcerting habit of arriving at t|io office at about 7:30-n. in. Kuviff’jf’ pteviously arisen about 6 and taken* a horseback ride of an hour of bo, tlu? governor always was feeling fine and dandy when he got to tho offlco—n per fect glutton for work. Moreovor, he had a way of bringing hiH lunch with hirji, in a littla pasteboard box; and he was more than likely to “stick around ” until about 5 p. m. Ho was popular enough with the executive staff other wise; but as for that “Early to bed, early to riso stuff,” nix I ' Our Greeting In the Spirit of Christmas Merry Xmas You All Nations the world o’er have their own editions and national holidays. But Christmas is one which is alike in spirit and celebrated in all Christian dands. On this day all ego. is put aside, thoughts turn to others, good cheer and kindness are at their best. Our Yuletide thoughts go out to the residents, of this section. To us you have brought good cheer, and it is our sincere wish that this Christmas will be your haopiest and that the coming year will bring Yqu,good health and prosperity. nit $ One Price Cash HoQ.se GRIFFIN’S CHRISTMAS DAY brings ua the consciousness that whatever our personal animosities may be, whatever the strife be tween nations—merely neighborhood quarrels greatly mag nified—there is this sublime occasion devoted to peace and good will. Its spirit is the lamp which lights to higher life; its influence largely supports civilization and prevents a lapse into barbarity. Christmas spirit means Christian spirit. In testing its effect, one has only to reflect upon the positions of races, the most advanced being those of Christendom. China, the oldest entit/ among peoples, has an admirable occasion upon which the citizens- strive to liquidate all their debts. It is a national pay-up day, and in spirit somewhat resembles our Christmas. In Japan they have an annual event somewhat like our New Year’s belebration, during which the people go about express ing good will and promoting good cheer. But Christmas has a more elevating effect than either, in that it not only typifies peace and good will, but carries the essence of unselfishness and pure love, the most common expression beinn the bestowal of gifts. When the Christmas influence gains to the point that its spirit shall permeate the affairs of every day in the year, the millennium will have arrived. We have this day, and if we mar not its ideal its leaven will produce other days of the kind. In the making of a newspaper we have an opportunity to view the many forces operating upon the character of humanity. We see the good and bad, the sincere and insincere, the selfish and unselfish. We be 7 lieve the leaven of good is.more active than that of the opposed forces. If we have been able to assist the right, much has been due to your co-operation and we earnestly solicit a con tinuation of the same. Our Christmas greeting to you is one of optimism, good cheer and hearty good wishes; THE PUBLISHER. Cor Maple & Alabama Sts. i;h !-
