The building is owned by Mrs. Ella NJ.

roomers.
The loss on the building is roughly
estimated at from $1,000 10 $4,000. with
$500 insurance Mr.. Downs estimates
his loss at $4,000 or tilereabouts. with

The cause of the fire is~not known.
Discovered Above Furnace.
None OF the occupants of the house

Mrs. Downs smelled smoke and went
down cellar to see where ii came from.
she saw flames above the furnace un-

most places. it was impossible for
the frernen to get at them from

way in.
For fully two hours the flames ragged
thru the partitions and up the interior
of the sidewalks bursting out first one
place and then another.
Compelled to uso Water
Because of the obstinancy of the fire
and the manner in which it crept from
partition to partition the department
was forced TO turn lines of water on the
fire. This flooded the basement and
did additional damage. Holes were cut
in partitions in a number OF places to
aid in getting water to the seat Of the
flames. The brick walls of the building
escaped any serious injury. The agent
representing the owner said the latter
was on the verge Of trading the prop
erty for stock of merchandise.

Work This Wsek-Says Fall Was
Too Nice, and Farmers Took Chances

Despite the fact that the layman OBJ
served last fall that If the farmer ever
had good seed corn he would have it
this year, the expert on grains is OF
different opinion, and bases his con-
illusions on actual tests Of the germi-
ent parts Of Iowa. Matthias Hauser, of
Iowa township, grain expert who
has been devoting his time this winter
to lecture work under the direction of
the extension department of Iowa
State College. Ames. is authority for
the statement that the Iowa farmers
will not be much better off for good
seed corn this spring than they were
year ago. MIR. Hauser has judged over
thirty corn shows in Iowa this winter.
and in that number, by actual testing.
he has found the startling condition
that an average of % per cent OF the
corn in these shows was dead at the
time it was placed in the testing box
Fall Was Nice; Farmers Careless.
Mr. Hauser says that the trouble
last fall was that the weatn-
er was too nice. The farmers
took it for granted that their seed
corn was going to mature nicely. ana
consequently didn't take the precau-
lions that they should and care for it.
The result was that the corn froze be-
fore it was picked and placed under
cover. Mr. Hauser says that in many
parts Of the state the seed corn viii!
be no better this spring than it was
last season:
