FIRE DRILLS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

J. J. Montgomery Conducts Exercise lor Protection of Children in Case ol Tire By recent laws for the protection of life and properly from fires the chiefs of fire departments of cities are made deputy fire marshals and the same law imposes on these deputies the duty of conducting er requiring teachers to conduct monthly fire drills. Fire Chief Montgomery conducted the drills at the primary school house this Wednesday morning and at the intermediate and higlh school buildings this afternoon. The children followed the directions of their teachers explicitly. The following peiiods of time were required to get the pupils out of the buildings and'to places of safety: Primary building, 1 minute and 10 seconds: intermediate building, 52 seconds; high school class rooms, 50 seconds; high school assembly, one minute and twenty seconds. The instructions sent

by W. E. Longley, the state fire marshal, have the endorsement of Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction. The rules are constructed with a view to safely conducting all from the buildings and without confusion. Future drills will be at irregular times, so that the children may undergo just the conditions that might prevail in case of fire. iPupils leave heir hats and wraps when dismissed because of fire. All exits are required to be unlocked and to open outward. The fire escapes must be free from obstruction, ice and snow and sprinkled "with ashes or sand when slick. A special bell with a distinctive sound is required for fire dismissals. It must be rung distinctly. All work must cease at the sound of the fire signal. The boys lead in the march from buildings, as they can move faster and might trample over the girls. Teachers go last, to be sure every person has left the building. Mr. Montgomery was very much pleased at the conduct of all the grades during the dismissal and will give the drills each month in order that all may be familiar with them.

Armed Intervention Not Favored f~' But Grave Uncertainty Confronts Other Plans. A Washington dispatch says: President Wilson finds himself, in the Mexican situation, between the devil and the deep sea. The devil is represented by Huerta and the deep sea by the chaos which, it Is feared, will be precipitated in Mexico in case the Mexican •chieftain complies with ithe demand for his designation. With such a situation, the administration is facing two alternatives. The first is armed intervention, in support of the diplomatic intervention which already has occurred. The second is to raise the embargo on arms, in the interest of the constitutionalists, and to aid them, in this fashion and morally, to overthrow Huerta. This would give Carranza the control of the country and obviate the necessity of American intervention. For this latter policy the president is earnestly seeking the backing of members of the senate and house. He has been generally told that no objections will be made to it. He furthgjs. has been apprised that the sentiment of congress is against intervention and that anything which will avoid it will be approved. The president has been compelled to consider his next step forward in the Mexican situation by recent events. He warned Huerta he must retire. Now he has presented what to all intents and purposes is an ultimatum, though denial is made ’that it is such. Huerta has been told he has to go. The inference is that if he refuses the United States will put him out. Information reached the president that Huerta had said to some of his confidential friends that the United States is bluffing. Huerta has pointed out that this government has made repeated demafids for his expulsion and has done nothing and will do nothing because the American people will not stand for intervention. This attitude of Huerta is extremely irritating to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan. Moreover, Huerta, according to the official advices received here, is confident if the United States should intervene there will he a blaze of patriotism throughout the republic which will redound to his advantage. He is willing to lead the Mexican army, if necessary, against the American invaders. It is evident to the president that the prestige of the United States is suffering because of tlje apparent immunity of Huerta from punishment. However, this is a comparatively small matter in view of the administration alongside of the greater question of peacefully solving the problem.

Mr. and Mrs. J. €, McColly and two children came'back from their homestead near Hinsdale, Mont., days ago foT an extended visit with their many relatives. Mrs. MoColly and the children will remain all winter with her mother, Mrs Phoebe Yeoman, and John will stay several weeks, possibly until the first trf the year. This was their second year in Montana and they are very much pleased. They took up a claim of 320 acres 13 miles from Hinsdale and since that time have seen almost all of the good land within a number of miles homsteaded. They now have twice a week rural mail service and are thus able to keep right up to date, as well as fanners in the east. Two former Jasper county families have taken claims near John. One is Ed J. Kays, whose family will join him there soon, and the other is Mrs. Lillie Crow, related to A. C. Pancoast. Mrs. Crow 'has three children and two of them took homesteads. Miss Virgie Crow, well known here, is one of the teachers at the Hinsdale school, where she receives SBO per month. Mr. McColly is having a $3,000 hugalow of the California type, built on his homestead. Ed Kays is the head carpenter and he is looking after John’s stock during the latter’s visit here. Mr. McColly reports two vary successful years there. Last year the crops were especially good, but both years proved very satisfactory. Wheat, flax and oats constitute the main crops. In addition to his claim of 320 acres, John took 160 additional for grazing and will buy this from the government at $2.50 par acre. When he went there a year ago last spring'all the land was open and the plains were free for grazing, but now all is being fenced. From all appearances John is making mighty good in his new home and this fulfills the expectations of his nupiy friends here. His land is about 40 miles from the Canadian line and about 200 miles west of the east border of Montana

Front St, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy/ I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of Kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills he procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by aJI dealers. Price 50 cents.
