corresponding secretary of the society.

has membership of 1921. Such
marvellous growth in a period of eight
years shows how strongly the aims and
ideas of the association appeal to the
hearts of Southern women. No other
patriotic society arouses the enthusi-
asm that does this one. Doubtless the
secret lies here: Not only are these wo-

that Hugh Mudd's petition for

charged that Mudd's petition

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
p. Z. O'S. Are To Be Congratulated Upon
The Success of Their Venture.

Less than three years ago
the p. F. O Society CO imposed
Of many Of the leading ladies
of the Queen Of the PrairIes
concluded that the town needed
a public library, and 1t is gen.
orally understood that when
the dear creatures decide they
want "A thing they find way
to get it.
The start was a slim one,
composed Of few volumes
donated and few purchased,
but nothing daunted them.
With warmth in their hearts,
smiles in their eyes and soft
purling words tripping over
their lips and persistent energy
behind them, they hung a cur.
tain over the word failure and
took Success for their motto.
The result is that the library
like little jennie Jones aud his
sister 100, it grew, it grew I'M
til it made quite a presentabIe
appearance and others besides
themselves began to take pride
in the movement and future
welfare and success of it.
Quite recently the ladies
have added 146 more volumes
to the library which proves
that their efforts have been the
reverse Of little acOrns from
big oaks grow.
Praise unstinted prais e
should be given the ladies for
their work for it is no small
matter to begin at zero and &C
cOmplIsh what they have in SO
short Il time.

Fire at 9: 80 o'clock last night destroyed
the carriage manufacturing plant : of
George F. Thompson &c Son, 160 Western
avenue The flames feeding upon the oils
and paints in the building, which was a
frame structure, leaped skyward, illum-
iLating the surrounding territory for
miles and caused the residents of the
outer portions of the city to fear that a
most disastrous fire was in progress.
The building was entirely destroyed, but
some OF the contents were saved. The less
is estimated at $65 900 and the insurance
is given as $40, 900.
The building was four-story wood
structure $50 feet long and rs feet wide.
1t was we'll filled with stock and raw ma
terial, the contents being valued at SAT-
900, the machinery at 900 and the
building at $1,000. Everything was de-
stroyed except number of buggies which
were taken out lby the watchman and
members of the insurance patrol. Most
Of the insurance had been placed with the
Thorpe Bros. and Armatage agency.
The fire was discovered in the paint
room on the second floor by John Young
the night watchman who was on his
rounds. He Immediately turned in the
alarm and as soon as Chief Canterbury
arrived he turned in second and a third
alarm calling out additional apparatus
In less than an hour from the time the
alrm was turned in, the building was a
mass Of ruins, but the flremen were able
to keep the flames from spreading to ad-
joining buildings.
The building will be Immediately rebuilt
on larger scale to meet the demands OF
growing business. The company en-
ploys from sixty to severity men and the
business is growing rapidly. The burned
building was erected seven years ago
when the company removed from St.
Louis Park.
John Young, the watchman who dis
covered the fire, exhibited great deal
OF courage In directing the work Of saw
ing the stock and In pointing out the To-
cation Of the machinery that it might be
saved by the flremen. He was badly
burned about the head and hands but was
able to remain at the place until the fire
was over. He is SO years of age and
resides at 1901 Dupont av N.

NEW SEWERS ORDERED
Money From Recent Bond Sale Being

Money From Recent Bond Sale Being
Laid Out.
The sewer committee of the council or
dered new sewers yesterday as follows:
Main street Sc. from Third avenue to
Sixth avenue; Girard avenue S, from Logan
to Dupont avenue; Humboldt avenue S, from
Summit to Dupont; Dupont avenue N, from
Eighth to Eleventh avenues; Irving avenue
N, from Fourteenth to Sixteenth; Eighteenth
and-a-half avenue NE, from Monroe to Jack
son; Elliott avenue from Thirty-third to
Thirty-fourth streets; Lake street from
Eighteenth avenue to Cedar; Seventh street
S, from Riverside to Twenty-fourth avenues:
Twenty-second street S, from Thirteenth to
Fourteenth avenues; Riverside avenue, from
Twenty eighth to Twenty ninth avenues; Aid
rich avenue N, from Western to First ave-
nues.
The Great Northern railway has prop
erty abutting on Main street Sc, and it Is
purposed to assess this for it's share of
the cost of the Improvement the same
as is done with some of the other rail-
ways in the, city. Presumably the COM
pany will make a vigorous protest.
The money to pay for. all: the above
sewers, pending the collection Of, the as.
sessments, will come from the fund. de-
rived from the recent sale of bonds.
