The house of r. Fairbrother came near
being destroyed by fire last Thursdaylnight
At about IL 80 Mrs. Fairbrother awoke
and heard faint cracking noise which
she could not account for. Arising to in
vestigate she found the interior of the
woodshed in flames. Calling her husband
the two after an half hours severe labor
succeeded in extinguishing the fire They
dared not pause to arouse their neighbors,
and indeed. had they slept five minutes
longer the fire would have been beyond
control. "Only pluck and presence of
mind saved tue buildings as it was" Mr..
+. SAYS.
One, two, three empty stores, vacant
lot where Carrabasset block once stood, an
abundance of real estate for sale at low
figures; these are not signs that North
Arson is going to the dogs but should be
suggestive to enterprising men of good OPP
portunities for investments which are more
likely to be profitable than stock in south
ern or western investment companies.
The officers Of the North Arson Improve
ment Co. are hard at work trying to inter-
est manufacturers in the advantages of N.
Arson as a location and especially ia the
work the Company has done In de
veloping the water power of the Carrabas-
set. There is plenty of power for large
factory and the site possesses many ad-
vantages.

another year.

Farmers to the Front.

In the elections of 1890, it was very
noticeable that in the West the farm
ers were coming to the front in pol
itlcs. In Kansas their ALLIANCE"
swept the state like cyclone, and IN
South Dakota they elected an Inde-
pendent as United States Senator.
AS we arc not political prophets, we
will not speculate on the final result,
but wish tu remark that, while there
are farmers in all parts of our Union,
they are IN greatest prepOnderance
in the great West. In the best and
most fertile portions of this section
no railroad lines penetrate so deeply,
radiate so widely, or offer so good
facilities as those of the Burlington
system. 1t was the pioneer in open
ing Nebraska, the great corn state of
the Union, and it gives access to the
best settled portions of Illinois, Iowa.
Missouri. Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and
South Dakota. If the farmers wish
to travel, or any wish to reach the
farmers, "The Burlington is the
best medium of communication.

The New York Press, in n recent
editorial, says that it is to be hoped,
for the sake of Europe and of man,
kind, that Norway and Sweden will
not dissolve the tie that has bound
them together for nearly century.
The cause of the existing difference
between the two nations is very old.
Norway was for several centuries at
IIched to Denmark, and the union
with Sweden in 1914 VAS not with
the consent Of the Norwegian people.
Tet, ike the English and the lUwland
Scotch, they are of the same race,
and, whatever their present animosi-
ties and jrdlousies, they cannot avoid
the same deS .luy. Apart from his

Delaware, we know both them and
the Norwegians chiefly as emigrants.

AN OUTRAGEOUS STEAL.

Our attention has been called to the
actions of both the state senate and
house of representatives, when one
day last week tLey voted to apprOpri'
ate money for the Official reporters,
so called, of those bodies. 1t should
be known that these men are already
in the employ of the papers they rep
resent and receive good wages, and
Why they should be "subsidiZed" so
that the members Can stand in with
them is more than we can understand.
The resolution adopted in the senate
allows each reporter (there are nine
in that branch) the sum of $3.50, while
those i'll the house were voted 1925
apiece. People who take daily papers
have perhaps noticed that no mention
was made Of this fact on the part CT
