DANGEROUS TO SET
FIRES THESE DAYS
Township of RheiderIand was Scene
of Very Destructive Fires
Last Week.

That was quite big fire in Sec
ton II, town of Rheiderland last
week when about forty stacks of hay
forty acres Of fax and some barley
stacks were consumed by the flames
in short time. The stacks belonged
to different farmers in that vicinity
and were mostly put up in what IS
known as the Sietsema lake which
was ditched some years ago and
since then has made some good hay
land. The fire was accidentally
started by one of John Caspers' boys,
got beyond HIS control and spread
Like wild fire which indeed it was.
Mr.. Caspers went to Montevideo at
once pied guilty to the charge Of set
ting this fire and paid his fine. The
end however lis not vet for those who
lost so much good hay will institute
a civil action for damages which
likely will come off in the November
term Of court.
There was another hot time in
Rheiderland township last week for
besides the Caspers fire, Fred H.
Cruising thoughtlessly set fire to one
of his straw piles during one of the
windy days. The fire got beyond his
control, passed over a stubble field
and through a corn field towards w.
Kluver's house and had it not been
for the prompt action of D. Sweeps
threshing crew and a number of 9TH
ers who came rushing to the scene
there would have been a serious fire
loss. Setting fires at this time when
everything is so dry IS a mighty risky
thing to do.-Clara City Herald.

FIVE ACRE TRACTS IN
STATE CORN CONTEST
Committee is Appointed to See That
Plats are Properly Husked.

COMMITTEE IS appointed 10 see mat
PIats are Properly Husked.
The time for deciding the state
contest I'M corn growing under the
auspices of the State Agricultural
school, has about arrived. Mr.. Lam
son Of the State University Farm,
who has charge Of the contest, asks
us to print the following rules for
checking the corn yields:
CORRECTIONS FOR CHECKING
ACRE YIELDS"
"Measqlrmg the Acre:
Gin fairness to all contestants,
the committee should check each
acre as carefully and accurately as
| possible. To do this, the acre (160
square rods) must be measured ac-
curately, and the boundaries mark
ed.
"Weighing the Corn:
"The entire acre should then be-
husked out and weighed. There is
no accurate method of checking the
weld Of corn planted in many differ
emit ways. In order to facilitate the
work of the committee, contestants
are allowed help in hrlsking the plot
provided legitimate CHARGE is made
in the expense account for the time
of all PERSONS engaged in the work.
The contestant is expected to have
everything i'm readiness for the COM
mittee, and is expected to supply as
much additional help as possible for
husking the crop.
"Maturity:
"The corn must not be harvested
until mature and dry enough to crib
without dancer of heating or spoil
ing. Seventy-two (72) pounds will
be allowed to the bushel.
"Time:
"All plots must be harvested and
reports sent in before November l."
The work in this county is done
with the assistance of Mr.. c.. L. Nc
Nelly Of the Whitman Associated
Schools. He gives the Willmar Trib-
une names of the contestants in the
state contest in this county:
Franklin Jordir, New London.
Chris Franzien, Pennock.
Russell Morris, Penmock.
Paul Norlin1g, Svea.
Fred Norlia1g, Svea.
The following committee has been
appointed to have charge of the
husking and to see to it that a fair
deal is given each contestant: "A. A.
Anderson, A. H. Sherry and W. D:

It is expected that the yield on
some of these acre plots will surprise
a good many Of our people.

Possibly jealousy had something to do
with it. At any rate, they agreed to
maintain the territorial integrity of
Turkey, decision that strikes the av-
erage man as bargain with iniquity
1t seems plain to any one but Euro
pean diplomat that Turkey is the one
disturbing factor that initiates against
European peace and that wise policy
on the part of the great nations would
be to remove this apple of discord once
and for all. OF late years there has
been less insistence for Turkish terri
torial integrity on the part of the Eu-
ropean concert, and it may be that it's
efforts will not 60 beyond a request
for peace followed by a demand that
the war be localized.
Young Turks Have Not Made Good.
Among the Irritating causes that
have brought on the present crisis
was the failure of the reforms prom
sed by the Young Turk party after
Abdul Hamid had been driven from
the throne. Turkey is about the best
promiser and the poorest performer in
Europe. On this line she can beat an
American politician. 1t was felt. how
ever, that. the Young Turks should be
given chance to make good. 1t
turned out that whatever he called
himself the Turk was the same old
merry promlser, who never came
across. Oppression and assassination
continued. and the administration was
almost as bad as under the worst days
Of abdul the ID" After the Al
bantam uprising of the present year
The atrocities were as cruel. unneces-
sary and brutal as before. When the
Balkan states saw that no reform
eould be expected from the new
regime they made ready to act.
Another irritant was the butting In
Of Count Berchtold. the Austrian min
lister OF foreign affairs. To bring about
peace between Turkey and Italy he
was willing to give the Moslem a
stronger position in the Balkans than
before. The Balkan states concluded
It necessary to strike Immediately.
A third factor was the capture by
Italy Of number of Greek islands

ed to be united to Greece. Neverthe-
less it was proposed to return them to
Turkey. It was this that brought

been done to wipe out the infamy.
The Law of Recompense.

The retribution of God sometimes
comes slowly, but it comes. 1t can
reach even Turkey. In the present
desperate straits of that country may

pense at work? At war with Italy

powerful coalition Of the Balkan states
that she. has ever had to face. men,
aced as ever by Russia, driven out of
Africa, without friend in Europe and
torn by internal dissension, the once
powerful Ottoman empire seems head
ed toward inevitable dissolution and
ruin. She has sowed the wind and is
about to reap the whirlwind. A blot
on the map of Europe. the forces of
civilization are now about to remove
the stain.
Let no mistake be made as to the
character of the Christian population
OF the Balkans. If these people seem
sometimes cruel themselves. think Of
the terrible school in which they have
learned cruelty! If they appear back
ward, think Of the centuries of op-
preston that have made them back
ward! For the most part they are
brave, honorable and intelligent. They
have gone through the test of fire for
their faith. They have borne continu-
GUS martyrdom. Strength to their arms
In righteous conflict!
The allies are afame with enthu-
s1asm, ready to hurl their armies
across the frontier. Italy is still at
war with Turkey. and her fleet may be
depended on to inf1ict further damage.
And In the background stands great
gray Russia. Her armies also are as
sembling 1t would seem. that at last
the hour is striking for the ''unspeaka-

they were anxious to localize the war

there will be fanatictism, and on at

have deserved all that he gets, even
though it be ACKNOWLEDGMENT of his
empire and expulsion from Europe. In
fact. peace will never come to the
Balkans until the Moslem is driven
across the Dardenelles. Lately he has

Of his malign and trouble breeding
presence the world will breathe more
