Drive carefully, don't take chances on skidding, you may spoil Christinas lor yourself and others. Christmas events start this afternoon with the lighting of the Municipal tree. The Yuletide season is at hand. Be careful with your Christmas tree lighting, watch the candles in the windows, its fine to do these things but its also a good time not to for.get that care is needed to avoid tires and the terrible results. The Good Fellows Club is closing today and you will have to make your contribution a’t once if you wish to be in on this annual co-operative effort to provide a Merry Christinas for every poor- boy and girl in the community. We are happy to say that the campaign has again been a success. Congress voted dry yesterday by a vote of 139 to 17, first test for some time and sufficiently decided to cause those who have had hopes of beer and light wines to forget it for the present. The vote was on a proposed amendment to eliminate prohibition agents ami was offered by a dry member of the lower house. We are glad our old friend. Richard H. Hartford, well-known Portland attorney, escaped from the burning block at Portland yesterday and sincerely hope lie will suffer no serious consequences from his experience. Dick is one of the ablest lawyers in eastern Indiana, a mighty good fellow and has a wide circle of admiring friends in Adams county. Frank A. Munsey, great newspaper owner and publisher, magazine editor, writer, business man, millionaire and independent, died yesterday after a short illness. He was the owner of seventeen valuable newspaper plants at one time but recently had disposed of all but the New York Sun and the Mail-Telegram. He had for weeks made an effort to secure the Chicago Daily News but was’outbkl. by Illinois capitalists. Mr. Mu-asey was a typical American success, starting out without a dime and closing with millions in money and great power. He was a leader of the progressive movement a few years ago and had since that time, maintained his independence politically, predicting two new parties in the near future. Portland suffered from her worst lire yesterday morning when the Weiler Brothers four-story building burned to the ground within two hours. Their largest store, sixteen offices, the K. of P. hall and other t business compartments were destroyed, the total loss being estimated at from half a million dollars to eight hundred thousand. The water pressure was low and the firemen could do nothing except fight to save surrounding property, which they did with slight loss other than the Weiler building. At this season of the year when the furnaces are crowded and when the stores are filled with Christmas goods and flimsy decorations, the greatest care is necessary and e»en then conflagrations seem unavoidable. Insurance is the only safe guard you have. For many years we have witnessed in this country the phenomenon of pronounced population shifts from the rural districts to the cities.

While this movement still may be in progress, they development of semirural environment has been carried to the place where the big cities of the first magnitude are now growing seemingly no more rapidly than are the small cities and large towns, and we even may be on the threshold of

a reaction from the traditional prourban migration. From the most complete and reliable source of building information available in this country, it is found that during the first nine months of the current year, the 25 leading cities of the country, in point of housing construction, enjoyed a building gain of about 17 per cent over the same period of 1924. From the same authority it is learned that 314 cities and towns, exclusive of the metropolises, showed a combined increase of substantially the same percentage. Included in this list of 344 centers were some places with only a few thousand population. While these figures are not conclusive, they are enough to the point to arouse the interest of the student of current economic conditions, and to justify the hope that the small town is beginning to come into its own. — Thrift Magazine.
