The ire department was called out
last evening about supper time by tirc
in John Mahowald's barn, back of the

The fire was soon eXtingulshed, with Il
loss of perhaps so on the barn. 1t WAS
more difficult to put out the fire that

After carefully looking over the co..
umns of Mankato's three leading news
papers, the FREE Press, Register and
RerieU, and falling TO find an advertise
ment of a bakery we came to the conclu-

that city their prOprietOrs are very
short sighted in hiding their light und.
era bushel instead of letting it shine
forth in a live newspaper so that pepOle
NAV know that they desire to do bust
ness Wells AdUOcdte.
1t is hardly fair to print this without
saving that Mr.. HeinZe of the Palace
Bakery is quite liberal advertiser and
except at intervals keeps the public
apprised of his business through the
newspaper.
