The borough council appropriated $500 for the resurfacing and oiling, which was completed within that amount, due only to the volunteer service rendered by our citizens, who are proud of the work they did and everybody should feel proud them not forgetting the ladies.

It is one that pictures life in the sunshine on the boundless plains, it teems with the virile breath of the prairies. There is a pretty love plot, also intrigue and adventure and a vein of comedy that affords spells of laughter. The plot of the play is woven around a western ranch and its unwinding affords pleasant entertainment.

sentiment for a safe and sane Fourth of July is growing and whenever tried the experiment haB shown that the new Independence Day Celebration has not been necessarily a dull Fourth of July, but that there are far better ways of teaching the youth of the country to remem- ber the Declaration of ence than by the making of loud noises and the endangering of life and property. Where a general display of fire works is provided by a community for the benefit of all, the display should be given in the evening and then only under the absolute management and direction of competent persons. Don't, under any circumstances, permit children to have matches, or to set off fire works. There are in all communities persons disposed to obstinacy who unreasonably persist in doing things contrary to the wishes of the majority. Such persons often cause trouble and may do so on the Fourth of July by the careless Handling of fire works, which may result in injury or death of loved ones or the destruction of property.

Householders should be on guard against such persons, by being prepared for emergencies. Keep buckets filled with water and place them handy for immediate use, or better still, provide fire extinguishers for not alone this occasion, but for other occasions that might arise. Members of Fire Companies are interested and should lend their aid for a SAFE AND SANE FOURTH OF JULY. Usually this is one of the busiest days of the year and is seldom passed without injury or death occurring to some member. Be safe.

Be sane. And advise and help others to be. Have merriment and plenty of it, but avoid mourning by avoidance of carelessness. Remember that it is better to plan for the saving of life and property before loss occurs than afterwards, as then it is too late and regrets will follow that may last a life time marring the pleasure that life should give. JOSEPH L.

BALDWIN, State Fire -Marshal. THE FOURTH OF JULY, which is and should be a day of patriotic rejoicing, has become a day of apprehension and terror to all persons who have any concern for the safety of life and property. It is a day when fire departments in all cities and towns are generally kept on the run. The people have not yet learned the significance of the day in its highest and best sense. They have not yet learned that Noise Is Not Patriotism.

Other countries show their patriotism in a more quiet manner with considerably less loss of life and property, and this country in the earlier days celebrated the Fourth of July by the unfurling of the Stars and Stripes, salute of guns, ringing of church bells, patriotic songs and speeches. The Are cracker was borrowed from the Chinese. When used in moderation and with the greatest of care it is the least dangerous, but when used extensively and recklessly, as of late years, It has made our Fourth of July a National calamity and a National nuisance. Instead of a day of gladness ana rejoicing it Is a day dreaded by many. It is not generally realized the great loss of life and property occurring every year caused by fire works.

A few years ago two-thirds of the city of Portland, Maine was burned, caused by the careless handling of fire crackers. From the same cause Pittsburg lost 50,000 worth of property in one day and in eight years the fire loss in the United States as result of the careless handling of fire works amounted to over $2,500,000. Fire works may be divided into classes, those exploded in the upper air, such as sky rockets and toy balloons and those discharged nearer the ground, sucn as small fire crackers, the cannon or giant crackers, blank, cartridges, toy pistols, pin wheels, all of these are decidedly dangerous and should be avoided. Public sentiment today is in favor of a safe and sane Fourth of July. This should be encouraged.

Where Fourth of July celebrations have been tried without the promiscuous use of fire works it has been found most satisfactory, as no acci the best food you can give your little TUESDAY A Mutual Master Picture 'On the Night Stage" WEDNESDAY The Great Photo Drama Cabiria Pennsylvania R.

They make a clean fight for their rights and during the course of their trouble there is a strike of mine workers, the blowing up of a reservoir and a few other thrillers.
