Since the industrial revolution be-
gan in earnest, the integrity, that is
the conference, of the modern home
has been attacked from all sides.
Our very prosperity is the enemy
of our home life. The house Of many
rooms, the furnace and the newspa-
per have destroyed the family circle
around the home hearth. Each one
HES himself to his own room or at
best if the family remains in one
room, each has his respective nose
over his respective paper" Hence
the family circle is myth and the
hearth an empty figure Of speech.
And how seldom the whole family
is gathered together! No longer does
it happen three times day at meals.
The father and breadwinner is u.s.
ually already off to his work when
the younger members Of the family
have breakfast. The monday meal
is seldom shared at home by the
father, and often the children at
school cannot come home for it.
This leaves the evening meal, din
ner or supper as it is variously call
ed, as the only meal the family has
together, if it is fortunate enough to
have any common gathering time.
And the evenings! That family is
lucky and remarkably coherent which
can save one evening a week fol-
family communion. Other institu-
tons claim the evenings. The party
the reception, the ball, the opera, the
prayermeeting, choir practice, the
bridge club, the literary society, lee.
lures, the lodge, political meetings
all claim the evenings. In many {
home, the evenings the family spent
together at home do not average
half a dozen a year.
Children no longer grow up in thu
company Of their fathers. Mos
men have their daily work outside
of their homes. Hence it is at bes
only a few moments Of the day thai

MILL DESTROYED
Farmers' cooperative 1lill Burned May
4. Cause Believed 10 be 9pon-
taneous Combustion.

tane0u0 C0mn00c100.
Last Saturday night few minutes
before y o'clock fire was discovered in
the Farmers Flour Mill In this city and
the building was doomed when, the
alarm was given. The firemen respond
ed promptly and two streams of water
were put to work without any hope Of
saving the building which was then full
Of flames from top to bottom. Later
on as flames burst thru the upper win
dowss the roof fell in and as the fire
brands and flames came rolling out the
hose lines were turned onto the Agren
residence on one side of the mill and
the Kopplin Woodworking Factory on
the other side, while the Ladder and
Chemical companies took care Of the
grain elevators near the railroad, which
were set on fire few times by the fly
ing firebrands. The heat was intense
for firemen on either side of the mill
who were determined to save the two
buildings near by which were blistered
and fairly steamed like frying pans
with the water that was being thrown
on them from the hose lines. The
fierce heat soon abated as the framing
Of the mill fell and further danger of
setting fires on adjoining buildings sub
sided. >--,..e: .. -.z-S~'NF
AS for saving flour mill or elevator,
where fire has fairly good start, it is
next to impossible, even in the large
cities where the best fire service is to
be had Every effort is devoted to saw
ing adjoining property and this. the
firemen did successfully in this in
stance It was very fortunate that the
light breeze was from the south: with
no buildings in the path of the flying
firebrands within distance Of several
hundred feet. - ~! -
The origin of the fire seems to be un-
known and probably started as is very
often the case in mills where there is
oil, dust, ETC., which causes spontan-
eouss combustion. =:
Theo Sampson, manager Of the mill
business, was there during the fire and
estimated the total loss at $4,000 less
$4,000 insurance. Two cars OF flour
were shipped out Of the mill Friday and
Saturday and one carload was In the
mill ready to ship Monday A carload
is estimated at $1,000. x, H. Il
The mill was erected here by A. Berk-
ner & Son, Of Waverly, number OF
years ago and was managed by Chas.
A. Berkner who sold the property to
the farmers association two years ago
and moved to Montana where he is now
engaged in the mill industry. ss%s5s B
The stockholders Of the mill are
waiting adjustment of loss by the in
surance men and as soon as this is done
there will be meeting held by the
FARMERS and the matter Of erecting
new mill will be up for debate.--Litch-

it the same way, and got well again.

| This attack OF Inflammation in the leg
| is probably some local infection of
milder nature than Erysipelas Such
common infections most physicians
claim are due to the presence Of germs
which form pus. Your lotions were
evidently quite effective II you had
made them more antiseptic by the adj
dition Of Boric Acid, results would have
been obtained even more quickly. If
| the case is as just mentioned, it is not
due to general infection Of the system,
although, Of course, all local infiama-
tons are more rapidly overcome when
the resistance Of the general system
is high. The tissues Of the leg are evil

injury suffered in childhood. For such
conditions you should apply dressings
saturated with hot solution of Boric
acid, which are kept from drying out
or cooling by placing over the dressing
, piece of oiled silk or waxed paper.

water will give you a suitable degree

souls. This life extra familiar rem
ders life garish and superficial. "a
painter would say its color tone is
raw. To save our humanity, we need
family home life.
And after all the case is not as
desperate as at first it seems. The
saving factor in the problem is the
long leisure period Of the modern
man. For it is certain that on the
average we have much leisure as
compared with our ancestors. We
work six, eight or ten hours a day
where our fathers worked twelve and
fourteen. Even the unskilled labor
er has a few hours for his family
from six p. m. to bedtime. OF our
Sundays and evenings we are in duty
bound to save a good share for fam
lily life. Let this be a definite, regular,
weekly share. Set apart at least
one home evening a week when you
are at home to yourselves. Have
some common family interest,
whether it be reading of a
story together, music, = pho
Biography, embarrassing, a flower
garden, scrapbooking, or any other
occupation, game, pastime or even
fad. Spend half as much time think
ing up entertainment for your weekly
evening at home as you do for a Soc
ial entertainment at club or church
social. Parents and children, Sis
tiers and brothers should cultivate
the habit Of making one another their
confidential and intimate advisors
1t is very easy for children tc
grow away from their parents, sc
that they find an insurm< untable
mental barrier between themselves
preventing any true intimacy. This
surely is Of evil.
When you are away from home
keep up communication by frequen
and regular correspondence. TIL
circulating letter is a labor savin'
invention that deserves a wider adon
ton. A family paper written by tn
different members and read at tn
weekly family evening, is also to b
recommended.

our FARKERs SHOULD
az HAVE SAME PRIVILEGE
seven Counties West OF xandlyohi Have
County Agents on Job All the Time.

Swift county has an agricultural
agent, who puts in his full time work
ing for the agricultural interests of
that county. So has Stevens. So has
in this district. Just think how much
there is that ought to be done in lining
up all kinds of propositions. Who has
time to do it? A few progressive spir-
it's here and there neglect their own
work in order to push matters Of pub
lie interest, but most OF what could be
done is neglected. Kandiyohi county
should have an agent to do these things.
The following from Dean Woods to the
| people Of Swift county gives some idea
of the work of an agricultural agent:
'"You have in your county young
| man representing the United States De-
| partment Of Agriculture, the Minnesota
Agricultural College and your county
committee. This young man is employ
| ed by these agencies cor agricultural
development work. His services are
available for any farmer or community
| in your county. He may be called up
on to give assistance in any problem
that has for it's object improvement in
farming or farm life.u--This young man
does not know everything. In fact, he
is very ordinary Individual. He is
interested in everything pertaining to
agriculture, and will be glad to help any
individual or any community II he
does not know how to take care Of the
problem presented himself, he will get
in touch with the State College or the
United States Department and get the
best information available on the sub
ject His mission is largely that Of g.
go-between to bring. to the farmers the
Information worked out in their own
laboratories in the State Experiment
Stations and the United States Depart
ment. No man knows very much about
farming, but by combining and making
use of the information Of several peo-
pie, each individual or community can
become more efficient. s@st g
Your county agricultural agent, Mr..
Alfred Carlsted, was raised on Mime
sofa farm. He graduated from the
Minnesota School Of Agriculture in
1910. He returned to his farm and made
good as corn raiser, dairyman and in
the poultry line. He is a plain, prac-
tical young man. who is worth know
ing. His services are at the command
Of any citizen Of Swift county, without
charge We hope you will cooperate
with him. ....;.z .Sz
call on your, county agent when
something is wrong with any Of your
live stock or crops, or when you have
had difficulties in marketing your pro-
duct. sE 5#
Call on him to organize Farmers
Club q Breeders Association, Ship
pers' Association, a Cow Testing Assoc
citation, or any other organization for
the betterment OF your community. Ask
him to identify for you unknown seeds
and plants, to help you plan barn,
mousse, q silo, or your farmstead. Get
his help in planning a drainage system
for your farm, or working out q prac-
teal rotation. s =z
IF you want to buy or sell some
grass seed, seed corn or 9 pure-bred
sire, tell the county agent. He pro-
badly knows someone who has what you
want or wants you to have. He IS In
your county at your service. a. use him.
