Monroe Dec. 22.?The origin of the $3M,000 blaze which raged for five hoWs early today in the heart of Monroe's business district, gutting three buildings constituting one half, a block, late today was still undetermined. The fire was the i^st disastrous in the town's history, it was declared. The first floors of the three buildings destroyed were occupied by the Union Drug Company. The Monroe Emiuirer, and the retail department of the Monroe Hardware Company. On the second floors were the ofr. fices of a majority of - the town's lawyers and physicians, as well as those of business men. Nothing was saved. The large stocks of the two concerns and the printing equipment and the paper . stock of the newspaper were destroyed. The lawyers lost their libraries and legal documents and the physicians theif instruments, books and ledgers. Most of these professional men carried little or no insurance and some of them described their losses as_ irreparable. Nothing .was left of the buildings but the blackened brick walls.

J to changes in the wind dnd various j other causes; but turtles, never! That I is the opinion of Mrs. Stockeley MitIchell, of Knoxvllle, who has forty ofJ J them. From observations of her pets, 1 Mrs. Mitchell foretells the weather, J For 1027-1928 she has predicted a geI vere winter, as her turtles burrowed I J deep into the ground. Although the ] j turtles hibernate, they come out of the ' j ground during warm days in the winter. "They are better prophele than 1 the weather man," says Mrs. Mitchell, I "for when a cold is predicted and the 1 turtles stay out, the cold wave never i arrives. Turtles are queer pets fori this delicate, charming little southern woman. Her collection started about I twenty years ago, when Mrs. Mitchell rescued a turtle from some small boys on the street. Her unique colony contains turtles varying from babies the size of quarters to grown-ups and grown-olds the size of dinner plates. They are land turtles and water turtles. They have shells that run the, gamut 6t colors from bright yellow to black. The Printed Word. There are this year just about 26 000,000 young people going to school or college within the United States. The percentage of illiteracy is being steadily reduced. In a few years there will be.3 or 4 per cent of thp, country's population above 16 years of age illiterate. Not only are multitudes being lifted out of illiteracy, but an even higher proportion of the whole mass is being educated into or through high school grades of intelligence. This 'haeans 60 to 70 millions of- people to whom the printed word is no enigma, but a familiar working instrument of the mind. It may be used for continuous study, for self-expression, for pure pleasure aiid pastime. Thus, the demand for printed matter must continue to expand indefinitely and hi turn will exert enormous influence upon the national life?an influence1' becoming even more omnipreseht and cotinuousj-^Spartanburg Herald. - .
