Farmers Thinking.

For many years the great mass OF
Southern farmers have done but little
or no thinking for themselves, so far
as their business relationship with the
world was c6rcerned. It might also
be stated that they have given but lit
tie thought to heir private affairs at
home, beyond rather listened and in
differant endeavor to follow certain
crude lines of farming as laid down
by their ancestors. Farmers have
been slow to act on progressive lines,
while the busy world around them has
p lshed forward in leaps and bounds.
A. q matter of course, the world in
general has been thereby far better
equipped to take advantage of the
farmers than the farmers have been
to take care of themselves in the fight
for supremacy in the field of dollars
and cents.
These are not pleasant reflections,
but it is we'll enough to utter the words
of ''truth and soberness," because if
mistakes have been made in the past
we should not allow them 80 conspicu-
Gus place in our future work. In
deed, the mistakes recent years are
being rapidly remedied. This highly
desirable change is being wrought
through the rapidly increasing DISPOSE
ton of the farmers to read such lit
erature as will help them in their life
work, and better than all, they are be-
ginning to think for themelves.
Broadminded men on the farm are
ceasing to be such rarity, and the
trend of thought is being concentrated
on the affairs of the outside world as
much as it is On the field. The farm
ers are beginning to realaize that no
matt er how fine a crop there may be
made and harvested, the profit of the
business is not found until the product
is sold for its value in the Market
Cotton Journal.

that section of the Appalachian range
of Mountains, separating Virginia
and North Carolina from Kentucky
and Tennessee, is sometimes called.
1t is on the Tennessee side where
the scenes of "The Tiger and the

AN EXPLANATION OF THE
BIR0N PAPER MILL FIRE

The fire alarm sent in Sunday
morning announcing a fire in the
Second ward was meant for fire at
BirOn. The beater room Of the
Grand Rapids Pulp & Paper CO.
mill caught fire from a hot box and
before it was discovered it had
gained considerable Roadway. The
company's fire apparatus was soon
after pu into action and it was
some time before help was called
for from the fire companies in this
city. Mr.. Meade called up the driver
of the east side fire company, ask
ing him to come to Bironwith the
fire engine to which the driver re-
piled: 81 cannot come without or
ders." Immediately after talking to
the driver Mr. Meade called up the
Chief of the company who also
told him that the order from the
Mayor was necessary. Soon after
the talk with the Chief, the fire
dIdl LII Was S6uG III duu DOIu cOlu-
panies, East and West Side, respond
ed to the call and from that time
were in readiness to go upon orders.
A short time after the Chief of the
East Side company and three of the
men went to the scene of the fire
in an auto and upon arrival saw that
there was no real danger, but
turned in and helped the men and
soon had the blaze where a little
good judgment would soon extinguish
it. These men were there before
Mr.. Meade arrived. The pumps at
the mill worked we'll and did good
work, but the men at the mill, not
being used to fighting fires, were
not as successful at overcoming the
Roadway the blaze had made, and
Immediately became alarmed and
called for outside help which was I'M
necessary. They had plenty of wa
ter but did not know how to use it.

a. III, the fire alarm was sounded in
this city announcing that the Grand
Rapids Pulp & PAPER mill at Biron
was on fire. and asking for help from
the local fire company. 1t appears
that tie fire started from a hot box
in the better loom in the southeast
part of the olill. 1t obtained con-
siderable start and Roadway before it
was discovered and the employees
of the mill on the night shift, who
Were at work, Immediately connected
UP the hose and made use of their
own fire apparatus to extinguish the
flames. They finally succeeded be-
fore the fire company of Grand Rap
ids had reached the scene. No dam
age was done to the paper machines
or any of The machinery. 1t was con
fined to the wood work and roof of
the mill Some stock was damaged
mill company will reach to the sum
of about $4,000 The mill will be
shut down only long enough to clean
I'D the debris and make some re-
pairs, which will only be a few days
Geo. ". Meade, the general mana
ger OF the mill, was somewhat dis
appointed when he asked for help
from the fire company in this city,
when they told him that it would
be impossible to get the fire engine
up there with the use of the team,
that it would kill one team of horses
to attempt to do that work. This
reply was disappointing to Mr.. Meade
for he felt that the paper mill COM
pany would be glad to pay for sew
eral teams if they killed them in
getting the engine up there. He was
glad however that his own fire ap-
paratus was the means of extinguish-
ing the threatening flames of that
fire. The chief and a few members
of the Grand Rapids fire company
went up there in an automobile just
in time to learn that the fire had
been extinguished.

far as Port Edwards on or about

more rapidly than it was expected.

HUNTING LICENSES

Fred Eberhart, County Clerk, wants
US to announce that he has not yet
received the blank hunting licenses.
but expects to soon The hunting
season opens on the 10th of Septem-
Der, and there is yet plenty Of time
in which to secure your licenses. AS
soon as the blanks are received from
the Secretary of State he will give
notice of the fact so that hunters can
secure their licenses in plenty of time
before the season opens. Wood coun-
ty being the last on the list is always
last in receiving the supplies from the
Secretary Of State. This often ac-
counts for the delay.
