.F|REMEN AT CASS LAKE
RESPOND TO REAL ALARM
Participants in Tournament Saved Box
Factory from Destruction, After
Lightning Struck.

Cass Lake. June 25.-(Special to
Pioneer 1.-The weather for the
races yesterday was, as before ideal
except in the afternoon, when a
shower of rain spoiled the coupling
contest.
The hub and hub was run this
morning and Park Rapids again
showed her superiority by capturing
first place their time being twenty.
five and one-fifth seconds. Grand
Rapids was second. Their time was
twenty-five and two-fifths. Cass Lake
copied off third money in twenty.
six and four-fifths. In the associa-
ton hook and ladder service test
Park Rapids again carried off first
honors in twenty-three and three.
fifths seconds. Grand Rapids was
second, time thirty-fve seconds.
Akeley was third, their time being
thirty-six and two-hfths.
The novelty hose race was won
by GrandRapids in ffty-two seconds.
Akeley was second and Cass Lake
third.
Shortly after the fremen had
adjourned for the afternoon the fire
whistle let loose fearful howl and
with true fighting spirit the boys
responded. The lightning had struck
the box factory and it was in huge
blaze. 1t looked as though the
entire factory was doomed to des-
truction. But with fearlessness and
energy the boys got to work and
within a few minutes had the blaze
confined to one part of the mill.
The bolt struck saving machine
in one building of the mill and set
the machine on fire, Albert Topper,
who was running the machine, was
knocked senseless but has recovered
and is out of danger. The bolt
followed an iron rod over one
hundred feet and set ablaze the
part of the mill. In few seconds
that part of it was in a huge blaze
and the fire seemed to be everywhere.
The speedy work of the fremen
saved the entire destruction of the
factory. The loss in estimated at
about $4,000.
Albert Marshik, one of the local
firemen, was severity injured while
making the race to the fire.
Although the extent of his injuries
are not known it is feared he was
injured quite badly as the heavily
laden hose cart run over him. He
was helped by fellow firemen to his
home, where he is resting under
medical care.

From the London Taller.
All work-however simple, however low
ly-that Is well done is a noble achieve
ment. There is no such thing as an aris-
tocracy of. labor: there is only good
work and bad work. The skilled agricul-
tural laborer is just as much superior
to the inferior clerk as the skilled clerk
Is superior to the unsuccessful agricuI-
tural laborer 1t is only false and
supremacy ignorant state of society that
>confers social precedence to the one and
withholds il from the other. The futility
of modern educational methods II that in
stead of seeking to bring out all those
innate characteristics i'm each individual
most likely TO lead to success, they only
endeavor to mold that individual after
a fixed and wholly artificial standard
The result is that I'm spite OF our much
Wanted advancement In educational mat
tiers we have probably as a nation never
been so really ignorant al the present
time. Instead of each person being a
skilled individual by following his own
particular bent We have set up for our
selves a sort of inferior clerk standard
which has little or no character and is
skilled only in unskillfulness.
