St. Ignatius, April 20.-(SpeciaD-
st. Ignatius was visited by another
fire this evening which for an hour
seriously threatened to spread to the
main Ursuline academy building and
other large structures. From an un-
known origin the fire started at $50
in the pumping plant of the academy.
The plant and the water tower, 10
feet high, We're completely destroyed.
The flames spread to the tower from
the plant and, burning high in the
air. fiery fingers reached out for the
main convent and laundry buildings.
The wind was in league with the
flames at first, but suddenly shifted
as the main buildings were smoking
with the intense heat. At 9:15 the
water tower collapsed and the danger
was over. The fire precluded the use

MAN FROM OzARKS
HAS PLAN
SLOAN WANTS TO ORGANIZE
STRAWBERRY ASSOCIATION
AND PLANT 500 ACRES.

Editor, Mssoulan:-It seems to be
plan for the betterment of the city or
farming interests to call on The Mis-
soulian to put it up to the people, so
with your indulgence l want to give
you a few facts and figures in re-
gard to growing Strawberries for COM
mercial purposes.
l want to say in the first place that
I am from Missouri, from the great
strawberry section of the Ozarks,
where they grow and market thou
sands of carloads every year, and
where they will probably grow them
until Gabriel blows his horn.
Let me say in the second place:
have grown as fine berries in this
country as | ever did in the famous
strawberry belt of Missouri or, for
that matter, as can be grown any
where.
l would like to give you a few fig
ures in regard to the advantages the
city and the vicinity would derive
from well established strawberry
association here. Say we could start
nary yield would be 200 carloads of
$40 crates to the car.
Picking 200 crates at so cents per
crate would give the neat little sum
of $4,000 to be paid out to a class
of people that as a rule, can not
earn much money-boys and girls and
women folks. Every dollar would go
into the tills of dry goods merchants.
confectionery stores, ice cream stands,
moving picture shows, etc. But the
main things to consider would be the
profit to the grower; the certainty of
return every year for the use of
the land.
I have come to the conclusion, after
years of experience, that strawberry
growing will have about as beneficial
an effect on land as growing any
1eguminous crop. In other words, it
makes the land better
The 200 carloads would probably
sell for about s1,25O per car or $250000
for 200 carloads; expense of picking
boxes and express about S15OO00
leaving 100000 for the growers, or
$500 per acre Cut these figures down
one-haf and it will beat anything go
ing on at present on large scale in
this neck of the woods.
With the use of smudge pots and
proper mulching to aid in holding the
fruit buds back, I believe we could
grow berries with reasonable success
every year in this locality.
With an association conducted on
business principles, shipping nothing
but first-class fruit, we can, after the
first year, sell every crate of berries
grown here, F. O. B. Missoula, and
not have to consign a carload after
the first year | know of associations
that have done Just this kind of work
Buyers are always there ready to pay
cash for the fruit.
I am not qualified to give the prices
of berries in the great cities, but
would like the commercial club to
make Inquiries in regard to the aver
age price paid for berries during the
latter part of June and in July, when
we would be on the market In my

If you are in an Office all day get up

going to work. Of course you can't
do that if you stay out late at night.
Exercise before an open window for
10 or Is minutes anything that ex-
cites the muscles and makes good red

baths every morning and gradually =;
change to cold water. They make
you alert. Join a gymnasium if you
can. And sleep with your windows
open.
For the boy who attends school:
Nothing better than a long brisk
walk in the morning. Eight full hours
of sleep in an airy room. Make it
airy even if Dad has to take the roof
off the house, for plenty of oxygen
is absolutely indispensable to health
and vigor Not enough parents seem
to realize that.
