TO KEEP UP WAR on PACT
Meeting of Farmers Called for Sept.
6 at the State Fair Grounds,

A meeting of farmers to voice their
sentiments against the reciprocity bill
recently passed by congress has been
called to meet at the institute hall at
the state fair grounds Sept. 6 at 2
p. m. The call for the meeting is
made by P. V. Collins of Minneapolis
in an editorial in his paper, the North
western Agriculturist. Just what the
meeting will do, now that the bill has
been passed, is not stated, but the
editorial intimates that they propose
to stir up sentiment against those
who advocated the bill.
Mr.. Collins was active in getting up
the meeting held in the old capitol at
st. Paul some months ago to protest
against the bill and headed a delega-
ton that went to Washington to ap-
pear before the senate committee that
considered the bill.

.ullf MILLION DOLLAR Loss
Fire Destroys the Immense Plant Of

Fire which originated presumably
from an overheated motor. resulting
in an explosion Of the Hour dust
in the sack room. practically wiped
out the plant Of the Bay State MIL
ing company at Winona. entailing
loss Of fully half million dollars.
The company was the fourth largest
producer OF -four in the United States
and its plant was one OF tho most
modern in the Northwest.
The fire broke out just - the day
force was planning to stop work and
the night crew was coming on. The
defective motor was discovered and a
small fire was corralled, when q ter
rife explosion took place in an ad-
joining room on the north side of the
ground floor of the main building. The
alarm was spread Immediately and all
the men reached place OF safety be-
fore the flames cut off escape.
The fire department was handi-
capped because of the lack of water
pressure due to the low stage of the
river and with every available piece of
fire fighting apparatus on the scene
it became necessary to send call for
assistance to La Crosse and Eau
Claire. Both responded quickly.
A few minutes after the firemen ar
rived the flames had spread through
the west end of the mill and broken
through the roof, where they were
famed by high wind. The fire swept
through the entire structure and half
an hour after the alarm was sounded
the building was engulfed in flames
which licked up the adjoining struc-
lures and shot sparks for mile into
the business section of the city.

Over this course a flock of sheep,
probably three or four in number, will
be driven by each dog in turn. The

that time the collie will have to drive
his sheep over the entire course and
