FIRE AT TOLMAN'S DAIRY A

Saturday evening when the wealth.

was fire at Wallace Tolman's dairy
just west of town. 1t started in the
chicken brooder which was in small
building near the dwelling, and was

utes. The heat broke the windows
OF the house and threatened the barn
and COW house, which were situated
to leeward. Neighbors gathered
quickly, the alarm was telephoned to
town the minute the fire started, and
IN few minutes bucket brigade
was lined up from ditch to fire and
everything but the burning chicken
house was kept under sheet of wa
ter.
Mr.. Tolman- was in town delivering
milk, and heard that his house had
burned down. Hurrying home he
found big squad of people and
buckets about the place and only a
small loss Everybody seemed pleased
at having won the main fight, and
Mr.. Tolman was the gladdest man
that ever came down the pike. The
loss proved to be about $3.50.

HIGH PRICE FOR 1912 POTATOES

The large areas of potato lands
that have been flooded by the high
waters of the Mississippi, indicate
that there will be material shortage
In the 1912 crop even if other dis
tricts produce normal yield. The
United States is an importer of pota-
toes anyway, and this year they will
ship in large amount from
the old country.
There is every reason why the
American farmer, and especially the
westerner, should get the best seed,
plant his best ground and use the 1
pest implements known for handling
If potatoes. The man who plants for
quality and who reduces his opera
ions to science, has a good pros
'ect of making big profits.
