Transfer BURNED TO DEATH.
Gus Christensen. of Des Moines
Loses Life in homa

Des Moines, Dec 2s-Gus Christian
son. aged 81. was burned TO death in
his home at East Twenty fifth and
Eastman boulevard about 3 o'clock
Sunday morning when his home was
destroyed by fire.
Just how the fire that caused Chris
tiansons death started is not known,
but the general belief Is that he left a
lamp burning when he went TO bed and
in some manner the lamp ignited the
house. Christensen was alone in the
house at the time. his wife and three
children having gone to the home of her
mother nearby to spend the night.
When the fremen arrived on the
scene it was found that the house was
too far gone to save any part Of it and
their efforts were directed to the part
of the house in which the body was
supposed to be. At first it was thought
that it was in the kitchen. but when
the wall OF the front OF the house fell
in it was discovered that the body was
in the front room. When taken from

best possible manner, but he is very
restless and being young can not be
reasoned with and the doctors have a
hard time to handle the lad.

WHAT MAKES A TOWN?

In the first place town, which
is to be considered more than just
a creeping village, must have q few
at least, of real live, unselfish, pro-
gressive citizens, who are willing to
shoulder a portion Of the RESPONSE
bllity for its future, both in personal
work and in financial assistance in
every effort put forth or suggested
that will increase its attractiveness
either commercially or morally and
in other social conditions. A town
can not thrive and grow wherein the
financially responsible men do not
agree on any other point than that
of looking out for themselves. Co
operation is necessary in building a
business, and so 1t Is necessary to
build a town to make 1t a success.
Whenever the men who have the
money and the business ability In
any community, get down to real
earnest pulling together, the same
community rapidly blossoms forth
into live town, and grows con-
tinuously as long as the cooperation
keeps up.
