home boy had ashade the best
of it. The score at the end of
the fifth inning was 4 to 3 in

date being set for technical
reasons.
When we went to press last

Economies OF Harvest

1t is possible for careless help
to leave considerable portion
of the grain crop in the field by
neglecting to gather up scatter
ings, loose bundles, etc., and
by hauling grain on open bot
tom racks. From a few pounds
to a few bushels of grains may
be saved every day, during
stacking, by using tight-bot-
tom rack, or canvass over the
rack that will catch all of the
grain that is shattered out of
the heads. In seasons when
the grain skaters badly, a sur.
prisingly amount of grain car
be saved in this way. "A. ID

Livery Barn And Another Small Building Destroyed Early

The Live Stock and Vehicles.

caught under the roof when it
cavedin.
Aside from the building,
Warmers loss includes a supply
of feed, two sets of harness and
a number of brides, horse
blankets. etc. All his buggies,
sleighs and his automobile
were saved. He had $500 in
surance ON the barn, which
was All old structure, one of
the first built in the town. The
actual loss, so far as the build
ing is concerned is not heavy,
but the fact that in replacing
the building Mr.. Warner will
have to build of brick or &C.
nent, means that the fire will
neCessitate a considerable out
lay of money. Warner is not
fully decided as to his plans for
the future except that he will
continue in the livery business
and for the present has seCur-
ed the Stafford building just
east of his former location.
Other losers by the fire are:
Mcintosh and 1athro, h e
small barn where the fire start
ed, a building of no great va
lue; Chas. Drew, barber, plate
glass windows broken by the
heat; School of Forestry, set of
harness and possibly a few
other small losses.
The origin of the fire is a
matter of conjecture but the
general opinion is that some
one was smoking around the
small barn referred to and
threw cigar butt into the
chaff and hay on the floor
where it smouldered for several
hours before blazing up.
Two things saved the city
from much greater loss. One
was the excellent work of the
department and the other the
fact that there was no wind.
The tiremen were quickly on
the scene and did excellent
work. The people of the city
have every reason to be proud
of the bOys-and they are.

Henry Warner livery, feed
and sale stable was totally de-
stroyed by fire yesterday morn
ing and it was only because of
quick and effective work on the
part of the fire company and
other citizens that the live
stock in the barn was saved.
Another small barn on the lots
belonging to Mcintosh and
Cathro was destroyed and sew
eral buildings adjacent to the
livery barn were on fire several
times.
The fire was first noticed
about 3: 40 A. NJ. and at that
time the small barn was al
most destroyed and the flames
had leaped to the livery barn,
caught on the inside through
an open door in the hay loft and
were spreading rapidly. Mike
Moore and George Lescault
gave the alarm at practically ly
the same moment and Moore
at once ran over to the livery
stable and woke the hostlers.
He then started to get the
horses out and it was largely
through his prompt sction that
the animals were saved. The
last horse to be taken out was
Highland Prince, valuable
stallion owned by Neil Nc
Arthur. This animal was
burned about the neck and
down the back and blistered
about the face. Several at
tempts were made to free the
frantic animal before he finally
broke his halter shank and
dashed out of the rear door.
Joe Skaptson had his hands
burned in an attempt to free
the horse and little later
Neil Macarthur approached the
rear of the barn to see if the
horse had been taken out and
the roof falling in threw a
shower of sparks over him Civ
ing him several painful burns
on the neck and arms. Fred

livery, narrowly escaped being
