In the first place, cost of upkeep of an unimproved street or highway is much greater than if the thoroughfare were paved. The entire surface of a paved street is useable; that is, there are not two lines or ruts which the traffic follows, as on a dirt or gravel road. Therefore, paving increases the capacity of the streets and highways. . enhances values and acts as an inducement for Paving property owners to improve the appearance of their grounds and houses, mak. ing that street a more pleasant place to live onPaved streets make a city more desireable from an industrial standpoint, for a factory or any business which requires hauling will naturally pick a town where hauling can be done most speedily and economically.

F R I G I DA I R E I Of priceless value as a protection to health REDS IN ENGLAND Dispatches from London are to the effect that in spite, of the recent exposures, the agents of Moscow are still busy sending gold to Great Britain for the purpose of stirring up trouble there. Great numbers of pound notes are said to have been traced from certain Russian banks in London into the hands of Red agents throughout -England. When Great Britain first recognized the Red Russian republic, it was predicted both 'here and abroad that the British had again done a very clever thing, one which would get them the bulk of Russian business. It was predicted that Uncle Sam was falling behind the times for failing to recognize Russia and that he would suffer for this in a business way. Well, the British may be, and doubtless are, the keenest diplomats in the world. But they fell down badly in their dealings with Russia. The British business with Russia did not increase as was expected and business of American firms in Russia did not fall off as was anticipated. At the same time the communists in Moscow began to take advantage of their offical relations with England in concerted efforts to assist the British radicals in overthrowing the British government. How serious these activties became is a matter of history. They once resulted in the overturn of the government but not as the reds expected because the sew government noted in by the people was anti-Reinstead of radical. Every country which hs taken on close official relations with thhe Soviets, has been disappointed with results. The Germans have tried it too and have gained nothing to be compared with the trouble they have had in surpresssng communist activities at home, and the growth of the Red vote in Berlin in the recent elections in doubtless due in part at least, to the efforts of Moscow.

Their observance would contribute greatly to reducing fire losses to a minimum: 1. Remove all dry grass and weeds from around barns, garetcNever fences, build bonfires on windy days. ages, 2. Burn all oily rags. Do not leave them lying around, as there is danger in spontaneous combustion fire. 3Remove and dispose of all rubbish and other waste material from the premises. 4. Provide yourself with an approved type of incinerator. That is the only safe way to burn rubbish and other waste materials. 5. Chimneys should be cleaned and examined once a year, esin coal or briquettes. Many fires each year are caused pecially using by defective chimneys and by sparks flying' from shingle roofs. 6Do not use gasoline to clean garments or gloves in the house. Do that kind of work in the open air away from the fire. 7. Keep an apporved fire extinguisher in the house for emergency use. It is better to be safe than sorry. 8.
