HIBBING FIRE FATAL TO ONE
Two Others May Die From Burns
Received,

Farm Stationery.

1t has been frequently suggested
That the farmer would appear better
as a business man, and not infrequent-
Y gain some pecuniary advantage as
we'll if he would use letter paper and
envelopes neatly printed with the
name of his farm and postoffice ad-
dress. If he deals in any specialties,
whether of live stock. poultry, dairy,
garden or orchard products, these also
should be mentioned on his letter head.
"The Farmers Wife" suggests
that the women of the farm should
also have some stationery clearing
the individuality of their homes and
lives" But prerequisite, in both
cases, is the adoption of a suitable
name fer the home or road, or both.
One will think more of his home. and
of the reputation of his farm products,
if It has a name by which it can be
identified; and the Identification is
made more complete if the road also
has name.
In England pleasing variety of
names has been found for local roads,
lanes, paths. ways. rulings, alleys,
avenues. highways. thoroughfareS, or
whatever may be the substantive used
in connection with the descriptive
noun. Why not adopt some equally
pleasing for our American roads; and
make them stick, not only by using
them on our stationery. but by paint
ing them on much-needed guide-posts
at the crossings?-C. R. Barns, Ex-
tension Div. MINI. Col. of Agricul-

YOUNG ENTERS THE CONTEST
Another Aspirant for Governor Of
Minnesota.

Minnesota.
In a brief announcement Edward T.
Young, former attorney general and
one time candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, has declared
himself candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor under the
new statewide primary law.
In his statement Mr.. Young asserts
that he will be candidate along pro-
gressive lines and that he will indi-
cate his principles in a platform he
will give out shortly.
Mr.. Young says he does not care to
use the stereotyped excuse, II have
been forced into the gubernatorial
fight by my friends" He entered the
contest, he says, because he believes
his past experience and general knowl-
edge of state affairs have qualified
him to give useful service to the state
as its chief executive.

YOUNG GIRL LOSES HER LIFE
Dies From Burns Caused by Gas Ex-
pIosion in Cellar.

Alma Olson, the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Olson Of Marshall, was burned to
death in a peculiar manner. She was
sent to the cellar for vegetables for
dinner. The cellar being dark she
took a match with which to light her
way. AS soon as she lighted the match
there was an explosion that shook the
house and an instant later the girl
came running from the cellar, her
clothes on fire. She ran to the front
lawn and sank to the ground Parents
and neighbors smothered the flames
and did all they could for her relief,
but she died in few hours. The ex-
plosion is thought to have been due to
a gas formation which may have orig
mated from a cesspool into which the
cellar is drained.

a good hearted man, it is our old Mas ter. He looks after his horses and cattle as he looks after the welfare of his own family. You will be safe on his return"
 Well, my dear old Uncle Dobbin," !" said Dan, kicking up his hind heels merrily, T have you to thank for all this. You have been a true, good friend. When, in the future, I get big and strong, I shall keep an eye on you, my uncle. and beware to him who uses you roughly. I'll have a pair of strong heels and set of sharp teeth to fight for you with.'
 "I'll never need them, my dear colt grinned old Dobbin. Was not I wise enough to evolve. a plan by which you might be saved from hurt ? Well, like mankind, we horses grow in wisdom every day. But away my fine fellow, and frisk in the pasture, for 1t is my time of day to snooze. I'm not as young as I used to be, and I feel the weight of my years. So off, my dear fellow, and never forget my philosophy concerning fighting n self defence" And almost instantly old Dobbin fell into a quiet nap, rest ing one hind leg as he dreamed of happy years yet to come on the farm.

And when Master Archibald sits astride your back, take an uneven gait, lose a step and gain a step-trot, gallop, go single-foot and sling your body from side to side. He'll soon get enough of you and have you turned into the pasture again."
 And do you call that fighting, Uncle Dobbin?" asked Dan, wonder ingly.
 Fighting, my dear nephew, doesn't always mean drawing blood or break ing bones. One may fight with va rious weapons-using different meth ods. The style of fighting I advise does not require the maiming of any one. l could not consent to that even in the case of cruel master"
 "I'll follow your suggestion" said Dan. Then his appetite returned to him and he began eating, and con versation ceased between him and old Dobbin, who fell asleep.
 The following morning, bright and early, Dobbin was led out to do some farm work and Dan was led into the horse-lot, where "Squirmy Pete" sad dled and bridled him. ''Ha, ha, ha,"

Do Ne Truly Apprzeiate Books?

@ EW of us stop to ask ourselves
 M about the full importance of
 / books. We have been used to them all our lives, and fail to attach to them their great importance in life. But rob the world of it's books Oh, what a terrible calamity that would be! Take your own home, and your own town, for instance, and burn or otherwise destroy all the books there. What would become of the people thus deprived of good read ing? Would not it be a benighted community which had no school for its young folks? And how could they be taught without the use of text books? And think of the long. dreary days when one is convalescing from an illness. when books are such boon to the house-bound semi-invalidi Has not many an otherwise lonely hour been made happy and edifying through the medium of a good book? And books carry us back to the be- ginning of things. Weknow all the peo- pie who have gone before us. Books lead us into the mysteries of the uni verse. into the vast ocean and on top the mighty mountains. A book can con- vey us, mentally to the moon, and we understand its physical aspects as though We had personally visited it. Marvellous books! They make life well worth living. Without them we would stagnate. fall back to the dark

on the side of the table so that 1t rests on the very edge (see illustration) Then take an ordinary dessert knife and place the rounded end of it be- tween the table and, the decanter, pushing it about the quarter of an inch under the decanter--or just far enough to make the knife stick out horizontally, When all is ready strike sharp blow with the finger be- heath the handle of the knife. If the right force is given to the blow the knife will leap up and make a half circle in the air in the direction of the mouth of the decanter, into which it will fall, handle downwards, if rightly done. It requires a good deal of prac- tiee to accomplish the feat, and when practicing, it is well to use a large mouthed decanter till you are sure of your blow. After you have become expert at the trick you can toss the knife into a medium mouth bottle with ease. While practicing, cover the table and your lap with heavy cloth so as to protect both from the sharp edge of the knife should it fall wide of the mark

 "Ah, ha," thought Dan to himself, "Old Dobbin was right. He is a silent. sleepy old horse. but he has the wisdom of a dozen owls. He knew the right thing to do.' And then Dan began to gallop so roughly that Archibald drew rein and called a halt.

I'll advise Dad to sell this colt--and at once." And Archibald threw the bridle lines to "Squirmy Pete.''
 Its as told you in the beginning" calmly observed "Squirmy Pete," un- bridling Dan and turning him loose. "I told you the colt is too young to be broken, and that he has not formed his gait yet. He's like singer, you know-got to have time to-what you call it?-to dee-velop. That's the ag-dee-velop.

 The birds came in dozens as Rob, Annie and Buiger threw the crum bed bread about on the ground. It was a sight well worth seeing to watch them. And the little songsters did not seem a bit afraid of the great strangers who had intruded into their domain. Evidently they instinctively knew that these persons. were their friends.

 Then they drove homeward, and Bulger, sleepy and tired, lay his head in Mothers lap and fell into a nap and dreamed of going picnicking in the woods where birds became large like people and talked and where the squirrels became large like horses and ran about dragging buggies and carriages in which sat butterflies.
