to fight Norfleet, who sought to dis
suade him from using violence toward
anyone.
The father then stepped up and the
two crowded upon Norfleet and before
anyone could interfere the older man
had drawn a knife and stabbed his

Thru Unknown Cause,

Ira. Aug. 26-The town OF Ira was
again the victim OF most obstructive
fire Tuesday when the new $4,000 school
building which would have been COM
pleted this week, was reduced to asnes'
The fire was we'll under way when DIS
covered, and the town being without
fire protection was helpless to check
the destruction of one of its most eie-
CANT improvements.
The carpenters who We're completlns

their lot of tools.
The contractors bid on the build
ing was $4,000. The furnace and
plumbing was extra and cost about
$500. These two items taken with the
loss to the workmen Of their tools, Will
probably bring the total fire loss up
to $500.

Can Be Hit by individuals.
Des 'Moines, Aug. 26.-Boycotting of
foods which have been advanced in
price by spectators, Is suggested by
w. b. Barney, state food and dairy
commissioner, at one way of bringing
about reduction in rates. He asserts
that If a considerable portion of the
public ceases to demand any article
of food the price is bound to tumble.
With sugar selling at more than s
cents q pound, the official says that
families should use less of ii and take
care in the homes that little be wasted.
The low price of sugar for time led
to extensive use of the commodity.
Flour is an article which is hard to
boycott owing to it's extensive food
value, he said.
Mr.. Barney asserts that there are
many valuable articles of food which
have not been increased materially in
price. He suggest that housewives can
use more of these and less of the
things which now have an excessive
price on them.
The boycott is said to have been ef
fective in the east in causing reduc-
tions in some lines of goods.
