at close quarters.
The building had recently been re.
paired and a new roof had been laid
on the entire structure. This helped
materially in keeping the fire from
spreading to other buildings on the
campus. The gymnasium and dining
hall of the school which were con-
nected with" the dormitory building
were saved by the strenuous work

Girl Sounds Alarm.
Miss Hung. the tire captain said:
"We were all asleep when the-tire
started. The smell of smoke awoke
me and I ran into the hall and
sounded the alarm.
“Other girls: came t9 my aid.
Within a. few seconds every student
in the biulding was standing in the
hall in her night clothes.
clouds of smoke floated up from be-
low, they stood there in the glow of
the flames that were creeping up the
stairs until every one was counted.
"Then we marched down the rear
exit and ran to other dormitories
where we obtained clothes."
Late last night firemen were still
standing by the ruins fearing an
outbreak of the blue in another
quarter of the school. Flames were
discovered by one of the firemen
shortly before eleven o'clock. but
out-
break was quickly placed under con-
trol. A squad of firemen are now
on duty at the school in the case
of another outbreak.
School sessions will not be
hampered by the blaze as the class
rooms were located in another sec-
tion of the campus about 600 feet
away from the destroyed building.
Temporary quarters for the girls
will probably be established in the
dining hall which was untouched
by the flames.

Citizens Solve Coal Problem.
Two citizens bought two carloads
in April to supply their own needs.
selling the surplus to their neigh-
bors. This produced a demand for
more coal until they have been ob-
liged to bring in eight cars. or about
400 tons of coal. and orders are still
coming in. so they expect to have
at least four cars more.
They offered to supply the town
schools with coal at $15 per ton last
April. but for some reason the
school supply was placed elsewhere
and cost the town 318 per tbn.
