seriously threatened by a prairie fire.

others are in danger. A general panic
among the homeseekers prevails.

out to fight the fire with wet blankets.
Flows were put into service digging
trenches. Several small residences
caught fire, it is thought from the
back fire.
The fire came in from Trip county.
A panic reigned in the town. Many
left as soon as possible, some of them
going on foot, carrying their hand bag
gage. The largest crowd for the reg
istration was in town. The wind was
terrific. 1t started from the north
west, changing TO the southwest.
Trains We're held at the station hav-
ing instructions TO carry as many peo-
pie out as possible. The fire protec-
ton of the town is confined to two
email hand chemical wagons manned
by the citizens. The water supply
would have been fairly good, but the
pressure was insufficient to force the
water through the hose.

important in these postbelIum days
that We should be united with other
countries in advancing the industries.
In this we shall be acting in accord
ance with the sacred traditions of our

economic policy and emphasized It's
determination to reduce u~nproductive
expenditures. He requested the as

stored by practical illustrations of a
determination in the future 10 follow
the paths of peaceful developments
and the cultivation of the friendliest
